Chapter 285 Christmas Battle
Compared with previous years, this year's Christmas battle is quite special.Los Angeles is the second largest city in the United States, and almost every year the Christmas game is held at the home of the Lakers. As the most popular team in the league, the Lakers have almost never missed the performance of the Christmas game in the past 20 years. It is well known that the Christmas game is held in Los Angeles, but this year is different. The Golden State Warriors are currently the most dominant team in the league in recent years. They also have super popularity all over the world. For For the Lakers, they are still a challenger in front of the Warriors, so this year the league also arranged the Christmas game at the Warriors' home court.

The Lakers and the Warriors, one of the two strongest teams on the bright side this season, a team with James and Wade and a large number of young talents, and the other is the Big Five of the Warriors who ushered in Cousins' comeback, The excitement of this game is definitely one of the most exciting games in recent years.

In the warm-up period before the game, when the Lakers players showed up at the Oracle Arena, boos immediately came from the scene. For the Warriors, the Lakers this season have become a strong team that cannot be underestimated. The growth of the team and the Lakers has finally become a serious problem for the Warriors. For the Warriors fans, only when the team beats the opponent fiercely, it is best to beat the opponent to lose confidence is what they want to see most. things.

Today's Lakers also ushered in Rondo's comeback. The Lakers' starting lineup for this game is:
Point Guard: Wade

Shooting guard: Han Ziqi
Small Forward: Ingram
Power Forward: James

Center: Paul Mack

From the starting point of view, this lineup of the Lakers is a lineup that is seriously undersized, but this lineup is strong in terms of their flexibility and physical confrontation, and the five players on the field have extremely fast speed and versatility This type of play also allows Coach Wharton to have more possibilities when arranging tactics.

Not to mention the starting lineup of the Warriors, of course it is the frightening lineup of the Big Five:

Point Guard: Stephen Curry
Shooting guard: Klay: Thompson

Small Forward: Kevin Durant

Power Forward: Draymond Green
Center: DeMarcus Cousins

The starting lineup of the Warriors can be said to be the most well-deserved starting lineup in history. This level of starting lineup can even beat the strongest lineup in history of many teams. If they are severely injured, the Warriors will achieve the terrifying feat of all starters with ability values ​​above 90.

The game had just started, and the Warriors took the lead. They used Durant's pull-up jumper to get the first point of the game.And the Lakers are not to be outdone, they continue to strengthen the team's passing speed, because Cousins ​​​​has just returned from injury, and his speed can't keep up with most NBA players, so Cousins ​​actually plays a role on the defensive end. A negative effect, as long as the Lakers grasp Cousins, they will be able to make a big fuss on the offensive end.

The Lakers continued to pass the ball to each other, and finally relied on James' alley-oop dunk to Paul Mack to end the battle.With this ball, Wade and James first made a pick-and-roll at the top of the arc, directly bringing the two defenders to Wade's side, and then James received a pass from Wade at the free throw line. At this time, there was only one in front of James. Cousins ​​who came to defend, so James threw the ball high into the air, and Paul Mark behind him jumped up like a spring. After he caught the ball in the air, he slammed the ball into the basket with both hands.The Lakers played a beautiful offensive tactical cooperation at the beginning, which also made the home fans who had just started to become silent in an instant.

Subsequently, Curry and Thompson of the Warriors missed three-pointers successively. The Lakers took a three-point lead by relying on Han Ziqi's ultra-long-range three-pointer. Han Ziqi often made such ultra-long-range three-pointers this season. Point shooting, and his shooting percentage is not even inferior to Curry, the strongest three-pointer on the planet. This often makes fans discuss who is better at ultra-long three-pointers, Han Ziqi or Curry.

In fact, if it wasn’t for Han Ziqi’s own cheats, he wouldn’t be able to catch up with Curry even after eight lifetimes of practice. As Han Ziqi continues to win games, the system rewards him more and more. Upgraded to the highest level, now as long as the skill is activated, except for being blocked, no matter how tight the defense is, it can be regarded as nothing to Han Ziqi. Han Ziqi's growth in efficiency and shooting percentage this season is precisely his Evolution in terms of skills is closely related.Besides, Han Ziqi is not a pure shooter, he has also learned from Wade's stray step breakthrough and Thomas Jr.'s extraordinary crotch change, coupled with Han Ziqi's own speed, the current Han Ziqi is still very threatening on the court , especially LeBron James attracted most of the firepower for him on the offensive end. It can be said that as long as the ball reaches Han Ziqi, he can seize most of the opportunities.

The next game was very lively, with very high shooting percentages on both sides. The Lakers continued to use Paul Mark's inside singles and the breakthroughs of Ingram, James and Wade to tear open the Warriors' defense. The team used a more fluid offense to create opportunities to shoot three-pointers from the outside. When Klay Thompson received an open three-pointer from the outside, he almost never missed it.And Curry is even more outrageous. No matter how tight you are on the defensive end, he can shoot ultra-long three-pointers with unimaginable postures. When a defense that one thinks is perfect is still thrown by the opponent, this is actually a big blow to the morale of the defensive players.

Needless to say, Durant, with a height of 34 meters and a super long wingspan, as well as skilled ball handling skills and super fast speed, he is the strongest scorer on the planet. It is impossible to lock Durant at the end, unless you are faster and taller than him, but such a player does not exist yet.In the same way, although James is [-] years old, his breakthrough is still unstoppable. Even Howard in his peak period has to weigh whether he can hold James' tank and crush the layup.
