I really play basketball

Chapter 92 Sita, Dangerous!

Lin Xing really had no idea about the Christmas war.

Because the Chinese do not celebrate Christmas, he will not complain before the game like a shark:

"I don't know what Christmas Eve is, family night, we're going to play..."

Moreover, there are no tough guys in magic, let alone villains.

For Lin Xing, this game is just an ordinary regular season.

The only special thing is that because of the Christmas holiday, Lao Zhang, Lao Ge and Xue Jian came to the Bay Area from Long Beach.

Then I contacted Lin Xing, and asked Lin Xing to help find a few tickets for the Warriors vs. Magic.
Old Zhang was okay, he just said: "They are all basketball fans, who wouldn't want to feel the atmosphere of the Christmas game?"

Lao Ge went a little too far: "I have always had a dream, that is to go to a Sharks game live, yes, I am a Sharks fan."

Xue Jian smiled and said nothing, and a few girls followed behind the three of them.

Seeing this situation, Lin Xing couldn't refuse, so he asked, "How many tickets do you want?"

Lao Zhang was still the same as the last time he asked for a ticket, and he got an eight.

Lin Xing smiled: "Wait!"

He directly called team press officer Peter Russo, and through Russo, eight tickets came.

But these eight tickets are not tickets for the front row seats.

It's not that Lin Xing's face doesn't work anymore, it's because the Christmas Eve tickets are too popular.

Tickets for the front row seats are all sky-high and sold out long ago.

The remaining free tickets are all for the middle row seats, and there are not many left. It is really not easy for Lin Xing to get 8 tickets.

You know, these are all beautiful knives.

Eight middle-row seat tickets for the Christmas game are worth at least thousands of dollars.

It means that the owner of the Warriors is not Chris Cohan, otherwise the 8 tickets will be taken back in minutes, and it is not good to sell them to the outside world?
……

This Christmas battle is indeed a grand event for the entire Bay Area.

You know, holding the Christmas game is a tradition that the NBA has been adhering to since its inception.

In the past 50 years, although the Bay Area can be regarded as a metropolis, the number of times it has become the protagonist of the Christmas war can be counted on the fingers.

Counting forward, we will directly count to the era of Rick Barry.

Before Rick Barry, there was the short Chamberlain era.

Chamberlain went further, San Francisco did not have an NBA team, and the Warriors at that time were still in Philadelphia.

What's more important is Los Angeles, which is also in California. Since the start of the Christmas game, Los Angeles has basically never missed a Christmas game.

Because they have the purple and gold giants, the Los Angeles Lakers, and the Clippers who later moved there.

As metropolises in California, the two places are always comparing and competing with each other.

So whenever the basketball fans in Los Angeles use the Christmas game to stimulate the basketball fans in the Bay Area, the basketball fans in the Bay Area hate it, but they have no FK to say, and there is no way to refute it.

Until this year——

The Lakers fell, the Clippers were still rotten, and Los Angeles rarely missed this year's Christmas game.

The Warriors rose like a fly and became a traffic brigade.

Naturally, the league would not ignore it, and directly arranged for the Christmas game in the Bay Area.

Coming from afar is another NBA traffic team, the Orlando Magic.

As a result, the Bay Area was boiling, and they were so happy that they didn't even have time to mock Los Angeles in the south, and they only cared about buying tickets.

The tickets for the Christmas game were sold out early, and the scalpers' tickets were also fired at sky-high prices, but the supply was still in short supply.

On the eve of the war, posters of warriors could be seen everywhere in San Francisco and Oakland.

After a great battle, the two cities became hotter.

……

Unlike Lin Xing who had no feelings for this Christmas battle, the opportunity Anfernee Hardaway had been waiting for finally came.

Speaking of this game, it is not without news reports that hype Lin Xing vs. Penny.

There are, but rarely.

The main reason is that this season, judging from the data performance, the two are indeed not at the same level.

So far this season, Lin Xing has missed 3 games due to suspension and played 21 games.

场均25.8分8.5个篮板8.3个助攻2.8个抢断0.5个盖帽，命中率高达51.8%。

Looking at Penny again, there have been 24 games so far this season.

他24场全勤，场均16.3分5.5个篮板6.7个助攻2.0个抢断0.5个盖帽，命中率46.6%。

You don't even need to compare items one by one, just look at it like this, it looks like it's all surrounded.

Let’s not talk about Penny, just talk about Lin Xing——

Although there is the influence of the Warriors' fast-playing and fast-break style of play, regardless of the style of play, Lin Xing's stats are the top rookie stats in history.

In the current league, it is all at the superstar level.

There are only a few people who can be compared with Lin Xing, such as the four major centers, Karl Malone, and Barkley.

Looking at the data of Penny again, in simple terms, there are more than enough starters and not enough stars.

Lin Xing has widened the gap in grades with him.

If someone makes the headline of Lin Xing vs. Penny again, they will definitely be ridiculed.

"Just these two people, can they be side by side?"

"Does Penny have a key?"

Even the hardcore Lin Hei Henry Abbott gave up the weapon of pennies.

Therefore, before the game, Penny was full of Lin Xing.

Little did they know, this world was no longer the world it was a year ago.

Only he still thinks with a single mind:
"Stalin's data and performance are better because the Warriors built a mature tactical system around him, and everyone revolved around him.

And I'm different, I have to adapt to Shaq! "

Therefore, he regarded this game as an opportunity to beat Lin Xing.

And, he is full of confidence.

But his confidence does not come from himself, but from Shaq.

"The Warriors are weak inside. They only won one game against Patrick Ewing against the four major centers. That game was won by fighting, so this game, we will definitely win!"

How else can we say that penny is a contradiction?
On the one hand, he thought that his personal performance was inferior to Lin Xing's because he was dragged down by the sharks.

On the other hand, he regarded the shark as the tiger behind him, and prepared to use this to make a fool of himself.

……

Lin Xing didn't know that Penny was trying to defeat him, he just spent a quiet Christmas Eve, and then remembered——

"Wait, do you want to prepare gifts for your teammates for Christmas?"

Aaron Goodwin who came from New York nodded for confirmation, and then looked surprised:

"You're not unprepared, are you?"

Lin Xing spread his hands, LeBron Jan: "No..."

Aaron Goodwin shook his head, followed by spreading his hands:
"There is still time, but this time is too little, you can only order directly and go out to buy a batch of luxury goods."

Lin Xing tilted his head, thinking of something:
"No, no, no luxury, I have a nice present."

Then, he took a trip to Chinatown in San Francisco, spent a little money, and bought more than ten sets of... emmm... mahjong!
On the last road trip, Lin Xing complained in public that his teammates were bored playing poker, and said that he would teach them an interesting board game.

However, due to the influence of various things such as fights and suspensions some time ago, he forgot about it.

Until it was time to give Christmas presents this time, he thought of mahjong.

A set of mahjong doesn't cost much, one set per person, Lin Xing can give it away at will, but the post-delivery service must be done well.

For example, Lin Xing bought back Mahjong and took away the first and second sets of Aaron Goodwin and Tim Glover. He was both puzzled and curious about this.

Because in Lin Xing's house, Lin Xing didn't need to make a move. Lin's father and Lin's mother pulled the two of them into a game.

Then, Tim Glover was fascinated, and almost even lost Lin Xing's extra practice in the evening.

There was also Aaron Goodwin. After Glover left, they called the neighbor next door and fought until Lin Xing's extra training ended.

Seeing Lin Xing brushing his hair after taking a shower, and about to go to the closet to look for what to wear tomorrow, Goodwin remembered——

He came here for a serious business!
"I forgot to step on the horse, this is the endorsement of the suit from Armani..."

Goodwin first handed over an agreement, and then he had a large suitcase brought from his car. In the large suitcase, there was a meticulously groomed Armani suit.

"...as long as you sign it, you can wear it tomorrow and walk down the long aisle of the Oakland Coliseum."

Looking at the agreement in Goodwin's hand and the exquisite suit, Lin Xing asked while thinking:
"Why would they sign me? I don't know anyone else in the NBA who has a suit endorsement."

"NBA is a bunch of big men, it doesn't look good in a suit, only you, with a good image and a good temperament, so Armani saw an opportunity..."

Lin Xing gave a thumbs up, Armani still has vision!

He signed the agreement with a swish, and then tried on the suit.

Not to mention, it fits pretty well!
……

Time flies, and it's Christmas day.

Because it was the Christmas game, the atmosphere in the long passage of the Oakland Stadium was different.

When Lin Xing walked by wearing sunglasses and a custom-made Armani suit, he immediately attracted a lot of spotlight.

"Handsome, Sta!"

"Wow, male model!"

"Do you know who I thought of? That's right, it's Manchester United's David Beckham who is the same age as Star!"

In 93, David Beckham scored the first goal for Manchester United's first team.

Although he returned to the youth team after that, and did not return to the first team until 95, scoring the first Premier League goal for Manchester United.

But at this time, he had already gained fame in the British Isles and even in Europe.

Not only because he is a football genius, but more importantly, he is very handsome.

Look at Lin Xing here, he is as young as Beckham, and as handsome as Beckham.

He has already established a firm foothold in the NBA...

Under the spotlight, before the game even started, some reporters thought about how to write the news about this Christmas game.

"Steve made a stunning appearance, and he is the most handsome man in the NBA!"

……

In the locker room, Lin Xing had distributed mahjong to his teammates.

As for how to play, we have to finish the game.

Old Nelson also got a copy, and he was also very curious about the thing Lin Xing gave him.

But soon, he was thrown aside.

"Okay guys, now is not the time to wonder how this thing works, cheer up, we're going to win this game next, but it's the much-anticipated Christmas game!"

Just when old Nelson was about to sprinkle some chicken soup, the system in Lin Xing's mind rang.

[Achievement task: Bucket Shaquille O'Neal! 】

[Shark is a difficult opponent, he is very strong, and he does not allow opponents to wreak havoc on his head, so it is very difficult to dunk him. 】

[Complete the achievement of buckling the shark, and you will be rewarded with a badge related to it. 】

The task came so suddenly.

It's the badge reward again, but I don't know, the related here refers to the shark, or is it related to the buckle?
Regardless of the relationship, for Lin Xing at this time, this task must be completed.

only--

"The system makes it so difficult to describe sharks? But why do I have the impression that many people have tried sharks?"

In Lin Xing's impression, Curry, Kobe, Derek Coleman, Jordan, and even little potato Nate Robinson have all dunked sharks.

That's why Lin Xing looked suspicious. He felt that if he was able to buckle a shark, it would be enough if he had hands?

In fact he ignored it, leaving aside the inexplicably mixed name.

The rest, Kobe Bryant and Little Tudou dunking the sharks, were all sneak attacks during training, and they couldn't be counted.

Even if he did countless buckles, Little Tudou was spanked by the shark.

The only ones who have really dunked the sharks are Derek Coleman and Jordan.

Carter tried it, but was directly dragged down by the shark with a malicious foul, almost seriously injured.

At this moment, Lin Xing, who didn't know all this, was full of confidence.

He has seized this shark!
Shark, dangerous?

No, Sta, danger!
