This striker is a bit of a monster

Chapter 343 Christmas battle, mothers watch the battle
The time advances to late December, with the cold weather and falling snow, 12 is coming to an end, and for Americans, their most important holiday, Christmas, is coming.

Most players have to rest for the holidays, but for some popular teams, it is necessary to dedicate a full game to the fans on Christmas.

Three East-West battles.

In the classic yellow-green duel, Staples will face the challenge of the Hulk. The Celtics only lost 12 game in December, and lost to the Phoenix Suns, which has recently been in the limelight in the West, by 1 point. At present, with a record of 1 wins and 21 losses, it surpassed the Charlotte Bobcats and ranked first in the Eastern Conference.

As for the Los Angeles Lakers, they only lost one game in December. After losing to the Bobcats, they only suffered one defeat against the Utah Jazz. They currently rank first in the West with 12 wins and 22 losses. League first.

This is a duel between No. 2008 in the West and No. [-] in the East, a duel between opponents in the [-] finals, an eternal classic series.

In another game, the Cleveland Cavaliers will play the Christmas game against the Houston Rockets.

Toyota Center, there will be a visual feast staged.

After the joining of Chris Paul in Space City, after a period of downturn and running-in problems, it is now 18 wins and 11 losses.

It has already caught up, ranking fifth in the West, and only one win away from the Suns who are second in the West.

CP3 has been in full swing recently, and just won the best of the week once in December.

Although O'Neill seems old, but when he meets Yao Ming, it is natural that he will be topical.

And this has a high probability of becoming the climax of the Christmas game. The old O'Neal cannot stay in the league for too long, and it is even very likely that he will retire honorably after the end of this season's contract. It was also the last time in my life.

This is also Yao Ming's second time participating in the Christmas game.

As a sophomore, he is still a supporting role standing behind another No. 3 on the Rockets.

Although the Sharks were at their peak in 2003, Yao Ming blocked the Sharks three times in that game, stunning everyone's eyes.

姚明在30分钟的出场时间里以57.1%的投篮命中率得到了18分8个篮板2次助攻2个盖帽的数据，而奥尼尔在41分钟的出场时间里只以41.7%的投篮命中率得到22分10个篮板2次助攻3个盖帽的数据，最终姚明和史蒂夫-弗朗西斯领衔的火箭以99-87击败了“OK组合”领衔的湖人。

Today's Cleveland Cavaliers, in the case of the Charlotte Bobcats entering December, have already surpassed the Bobcats by half a game. They currently rank second in the East with a record of 12 wins and 22 losses. third.

The Christmas battle between Yao Ming and O'Neal also made many fans call Ye Qinghui directly.

As for the third game, the traffic level is slightly inferior, but it is different from the previous classic matchup.

The game between the Oklahoma City Thunder and the Charlotte Bobcats is another kind of scenery.

Although the Charlotte Bobcats stagnated a little from late November to early December, they have now won 11 games, with 12 wins and 22 losses, ranking third in the Eastern Conference.

Since the team started the season, Zhou Lin has never fallen out of the discussion of the top three MVPs in the regular season.

He has become the player who can be evaluated on the same level as Kobe and James, and Zhou Lin has a high possibility of winning the regular season MVP this season.

Zhou Lin's average data is similar to that of LeBron James.

Score one for second and one for third.

The three-point shooting percentage is higher than James, and the rebound and steal data are slightly inferior to LeBron James.

When the usage rate and true shooting rate are also close, Zhou Lin and LeBron James will become the most powerful contenders for the regular season MVP. This is because the current Celtics can't find anyone who can win the MVP. Players, as well as Kobe of the Los Angeles Lakers, just won the MVP last season, and it is not easy to make a tie.

Of course, the man from the Oklahoma City Thunder has also entered the sights of the regular season MVP selection. He is now averaging 31.5 points per game. The third-year Kevin Durant has a great tendency to directly win the scoring title. Coupled with the OKC record this season, the growth of Westbrook and the stability of Al Horford as always, they currently rank sixth in the Western Conference with 16 wins and 12 losses. The possibility of entering the playoffs this season is higher than that of previous The season is much bigger, because of Durant's explosive output, he has also entered the top three of the MVP rankings twice.

This is a duel between seniors and juniors, and it is also a collision between the two youngest teams in the NBA.

……

"Hey, let's spend Christmas together. I'm leaving for Charlotte soon. After the game, I'm going to your house for Chinese food. I want to eat mapo tofu, braised pork, shredded chicken..."

Picking up the phone, before Zhou Lin opened his mouth, he heard Durant talking non-stop.

Every time I come to Charlotte, if there is no game the next day, Durant will stay at Zhou Lin’s house for one night, two big men play 2K, sometimes BBQ in the yard, or have a one-on-one match in the indoor basketball hall In the duel, influenced by Zhou Lin, Kevin Durant also has a soft spot for Chinese food, but he doesn't like noodle-shaped or bean-shaped food, because chopsticks are still a little too difficult for him.

Now, I can actually order food.

"It's time for you to find a girlfriend."

Zhou Lin said speechlessly.

"Am I bothering you?" Durant asked.

Zhou Lin paused, and said helplessly: "What do you think? But if you want to come, come, there should be many people, and it will be very lively."

On Christmas Day, Zhou Lin's mother and sister, as well as Misha's mother and grandfather will all be there, and some friends will all gather together for Christmas.

"Then can you bring your family here?"

Zhou Lin suddenly thought: "You can invite them to watch the game together."

Durant, like many black children, was raised in a single-parent household.

Durant's mother, Wenda Pratt, worked two jobs to support Durant and his brother when Durant was young.

In the eyes of many people, Durant has a bit of a mother's temperament, which is also because of his mother's concern and love for him, and the reasons for his single-parent family.

This is the kind of life that should be spent with family.

The game here in Charlotte will start at 8:9 p.m., which means that after the game, it will basically be after 10:[-], or even close to [-]:[-], take a shower, and accept an interview, it will be almost [-]:[-] It's almost midnight when I fly back to Oklahoma, so this is the first time Durant hasn't spent Christmas away from his mom.

"Yup!"

Durant nodded and said, "I should have brought them here."

……

In the front row seats in the Time Warner Arena at [-] o'clock in the evening, there was a unique and beautiful scenery line.

Misha's mother, Zhou Lin's mother, and Durant's mother sat together, talking and laughing happily.

White skin, yellow skin, and black skin, three somewhat noble women are also constantly included in the TV cameras, incomparably harmonious.

Others came to watch the game with their girlfriends, while Durant and Zhou Lin came with their mothers.

Zhou Lin's mother and Durant's mother also started a business exchange.

"I said, Wenda, your child is really outstanding."

"Mom Zhou, Kevin still wants to learn from Zhou. They are still alumni of the same university. After Zhou entered the NBA, the kid clamored to compete with him every day."

Misha's mother said: "This is a healthy competition. On the court, we are rivals, but off the court we are close friends. This is the best relationship."

"This is the busiest and most interesting Christmas I've ever had. After the game is over, what are we going to eat? Is it Chinese food? I keep hearing how delicious Chinese food is from Kevin, and I'm going to try it today. "

"It's the best to get your favor. The chef who cooks Chinese food is also hired from Shanghai with a lot of money. I'm afraid that kid Zhou Lin won't eat well, hehehe."

The conversation off the court was heated, but Durant and Zhou Lin on the court had a different expression.

Durant was originally the kind of person who wanted to compete with Zhou Lin when he came to the court.

After hugging, Durant said: "Zhou, don't think that if you invite me to dinner later, I will be merciful. I still remember that it was here last season, and you eliminated me from the playoffs. .”

"Of course, I want to win too!"

After the fist bump, the two walked towards each other's camps, and the match was about to officially begin.

The lineup for the Charlotte Bobcats is Zhu Holiday, Brandon Roy, Zhou Lin, Luke Mbah a Moute, and Yi Jianlian.

The Oklahoma City Thunder lineup is: Russell Westbrook, Sasha Sefolosha, Kevin Durant, Serge Ibaka, Al Horford.

The lineups on both sides are very young, the average is less than 24 years old, and the oldest Brandon Roy is only 25 years and 7 months old.

Also represent the best young teams.

The Christmas game was also broadcast live across the United States. Earl Johnson, a well-known voice in the United States, invited Magic Johnson to explain the game.

"This year Raymond Felton chose a truce and missed the Christmas game. Larry Brown put David Lee on the bench again and put 203CM Luke Mbah a Moute in the fourth position In terms of performance, the Bobcats lineup is slightly disadvantaged."

"Both teams are young, and being young means playing well and with passion, but it's also a game with fewer turnovers on both sides."

"I wouldn't be surprised if these two teams appear in this year's Finals matchup."

Magic Johnson said with a smile.

A young team like the Bobcats has made it to the finals and caused a lot of trouble for the Los Angeles Lakers. This has proved that the speed of the rise of new forces is much faster than some old teams think.

The matchup between Al Horford and Yi Jianlian is also a competition for the top pick in the 2007 draft.

According to the historical line of the Great Emperor Auden, because of constant injuries, he is probably going to be called the most regrettable parallel importer.

Al Horford and Joakim Noah have already become the best insiders in the 2007 class, and if you go down the row, Yi Jianlian can also be counted.

This season, Al Horford averaged 14.8 points, 9.8 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game, and his shooting percentage reached 62%.

Yi Jianlian, averaged 9.6 points, 7.5 rebounds and 1.1 blocks per game, and his three-point shooting percentage reached 37% (better data than many guards, averaging 0.8 three-pointers per game)

Al Horford helped the Thunder get the first wave of possession, and Westbrook moved forward with the ball.

Since the end of last season, Westbrook has begun to adapt to the rhythm of the NBA. The more he plays, the better. So far this season, he has averaged 7.8 assists per game, and he has become the league's first-class point guard who controls the rhythm.

And today he is facing rookie guard Zhu Holiday. This point, in the eyes of many people, is a completely advantageous matchup point.

Holiday has only recently been fixed in the starting lineup. First, the team really wants to train Holiday. Second, Felton is really disappointing. Whenever the team performs well, there will be some small However, after playing more than 17 games ignorantly, Zhu Holiday seems to have found some feeling. Facing the Eagles guard White Devil Bibby a few days ago, he played the best so far. In the game, 9 points and 3 assists, 3 of 8 three-pointers, and sent two blocks and two steals on the defensive end, limiting the White Devils to only 4 points and [-] assists.

Zhu Holiday, who seems to have broken the rookie wall, also had 12.4 points and 4.7 assists last week, and also entered the top five of the rookie list for the first time.

Today he played against Westbrook, a violent jumping man.

This is also a duel between players produced by UCLA, and the two entered the NBA only one year apart.

However, the two never played together in college, but this did not affect Zhu Holiday's understanding of Westbrook.

Zhu Holiday himself is a very good defensive player. After adapting to the rhythm of the NBA, he does not reject fierce confrontation.

However, he is still in the groping stage.

In the first round, Zhu Holiday lost his defensive position. Westbrook went straight to the basket, went straight to Huanglong, and dunked one.

Instantly ignited the atmosphere of the fans at the scene.

"Really XX is a good shot!"

On the bench, Mother Du immediately stood up and shouted.

Zhou Lin's mother sat on the side, almost startled.

She is the least knowledgeable about basketball among the three mothers. Before Zhou Lin entered the NBA, she probably only stayed at the sport of throwing the ball into the basket. Although she has watched some of Zhou Lin's games , but I just understand the rules of the game, but I don't like this sport so much.

So it is difficult to understand such emotions.

"Hey Mommy Chou, let's be warm and yell, what do you say? Merlin? Whoa! Well done Russell, come here, I'm going to smack your ass!"

Misha's mother Merlin smiled and said, "Yes, mother Zhou, this is the atmosphere of watching the game! Oh, Zhou, come on."
