Chapter 524 Crisis!

It's Christmas again!

James is a little melancholy, not because he can't be reunited with his family this Christmas. For more than five years, he has long been used to being away from his family on Christmas. Now he does not belong to his family, he belongs to Cleveland and all the fans who love him.

What hurts him is that this Christmas is destined to be full of struggles. After all, he has to face an old opponent he knows well, the player he hates and loves the most.

This is a great enough opponent!

James is full of respect for this opponent who has always been able to suppress him. Only he can best understand how powerful Gao Tian is, and how authentic those media reports can be. Maybe for ordinary people, Gao Tian is just A powerful synonym, but for him and many popular NBA stars, this name means a mountain!
An insurmountable mountain!
The current atmosphere in the Bobcats home arena is very relaxed. Although the upcoming battle is very tense, everyone is not particularly worried about this game. After all, they won this game with Gao Tian's performance in the last game. It is a crucial game, and Gao Tian's excellent record against James can let the Bobcats fans enjoy the fun of the game quietly.

Of course, the atmosphere of the Cavaliers team at this time is a bit heavy compared to the Bobcats. After all, the mood of the team's superstar is like this at this time, and the mood of the team's coach Mike Brown is also a bit low at this time.

As the team's most experienced player with the most big scenes, O'Neal is also very dull. He can be said to be the happy fruit of all the teams he has been in, but this time he is the same as the previous month. Obsessed with the fact that he is gradually slipping, Brown can't break free, so Brown, who originally expected O'Neal to give some advice, has not made any targeted adjustments to the current situation of the team. After all, such a team really does not need it. What is he going to do.

In this case, the Cavaliers' bench and the audience are completely different from the Bobcats' bench on the other side. The current Bobcats players can accept the applause of the fans after they play, and are praised by the audience. The Bobcats players who were encouraged by cheers were obviously very happy, and the smiles and excitement on the faces of these Bobcats players can definitely be seen by anyone.

"This should be the most exciting game of all the matches this Christmas, at least from the perspective of the game, it is likely to be so!"

In the media commentary booth of the Charlotte Arena, at this time, the commentary booth is almost full.

For the NBA, although this league has become one of the most profitable commercial leagues in the world, even after the league signs a new TV contract in the not-too-distant future, the salary space of the league is expected to exceed 7000 million USD or more.

But there is no doubt that even if it is such a Christmas game of the most popular sports league in the world, there will not be too many world-class broadcast media at this beginning, just like the one that reports on one of the most active countries in the NBA. Huaxia, this country usually does not send its best commentator to explain on the spot during the Christmas war.

In addition to the Bobcats game, they generally have reporters on-site interviews.

Even though this year's Christmas game has attracted global attention, Huaxia's focus is still on their home team, the Bobcats. For the final game between the Celtics and the Lakers, they only had a commentary to go to the scene. Charlotte's results were in stark contrast to the celebrity commentators and the plethora of reporters.

So many times, during some Christmas games, the media commentary seats are basically empty except for most of the American TV stations in the front row, unless the game reaches the playoffs or even the finals. The location will be full.

This is not to say that the media doesn’t pay attention to the game, it’s just because their energy is limited, and it’s impossible for them to pay more attention to the Bobcats and Cavaliers when the grand finale is another fateful match of the Lakers and Celtics Although the matchup between James and Gao Tian was exciting, it couldn't compare to the battle between the Celtics and the Lakers.

Because this is a game related to this season's championship!
And now, although the game has not yet reached the exciting playoffs, the seats of the American TV stations in the front row and the commentary seats of other TV stations in the back row are all full, especially those familiar and unfamiliar yellow faces in the media seats , it makes people feel Gao Tian's influence on China.

And this also shows the charm of this Bobcats and the players and coaches in this Bobcats team in this world. Of course, most people or the commentary media around the world also think that the excitement of this game will not be inferior to that of the Bobcats. There are many finale dramas, but the significance of that game surpassed this game even more.

And this kind of game is not a new experience for Bobcats players. For many of them, the Christmas game is the second time. They have experienced such a battle last season. The bright lights and excited fans are not surprised, and it is precisely because of more than one season of experience that they have become so mature.

In other words, when they follow behind their leader Gao Tian, ​​all the panic and tension will slowly subside with Gao Tian's calm but confident words, just like Della whose palms are sweating all the time now. Ji Qi followed Gao Tian with his head down, and slowly walked to the center of the venue.

Everyone saw the nervous Dragic, but no one laughed at him. After all, at this time last year, they might not have performed as well as Dragic. After all, for everyone, the first It's really hard to control my mood for such an important game.

You must know that this is the second most watched game today, so everyone is trying their best to control their emotions, but almost no one can hold back from thinking about the glory that this game brings to them. The project players all heard Dragic's slightly heavy breathing, and at the same time they also heard their own heavier heartbeat than usual!
"No matter how intense the game between the Lakers and the Celtics is after a while, this game is still undoubtedly the battle between the strongest individuals!"

They both glanced at Gao Tian and James who were warming up on the field at the same time. Maybe the current alliance belongs to the two powerful players, but the future must belong to them!
Of course, Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley, who were in the commentary booth at this time, had a sudden change of mind, and the players of the two teams who had warmed up on the court at this time did not have so much thought about these things, and now all their attention is focused on it. placed on the opponent on the field.

When the referee Bavita's whistle blew and threw the ball into the air, the much-anticipated Christmas battle officially began.

"Oh, what a pity, Mark's jump ball actually lost to Shaq!"

"Mark's jump ball has always been great, but how did he lose this time to Shaq who can't jump anymore?"

After the start of the game, there were sighs and sighs from the crazy stands of Charlotte Stadium. The bobcats lost the jump ball at the beginning of the game.

You know, because of Gasol Jr., Yi Jianlian, and Webber as powerful centers or insiders this season, the Bobcats' jump ball success rate is also one of the strongest teams in the entire NBA, whether it is Gasol or Yi Jianlian. Losing less, but losing this time, this also allowed the Cavaliers to get the first wave of the game.

"Mark, don't be dazed, hurry back to defense!"

Just like the fans at the scene and the many Bobcats substitute players on the sidelines, Gasol, who had just jumped the ball at this time, was a little taken aback after losing to O'Neal, and at this time he was reminded by his teammates Xia also quickly came back to his senses and ran back quickly.

This is the inability of a professional player to react.

But soon, after Gasol just turned around and took two steps, before he could return to his defensive position, the future center of the Bobcats opened his mouth wide with an unbelievable pause. In that awkward position.

At this time, the Bobcats fans who had just let out a huge sigh gasped again at this time and there was no sound. They couldn't believe what happened on the court. The atmosphere of Bobcats fans is the atmosphere on the court now.

"It's so fast! Beautiful fast break, LeBron's speed is really too fast, is this guy really a big man with a height of more than two meters and a big weight player this year? It's too unbelievable, Sun Yue Completely left behind by him, the Bobcats guard could only watch LeBron's lightning-fast dunk with his hands on his knees!"

"LeBron played the game in the way he is most unaccustomed to at the beginning of the game. LeBron would say this behavior is irrational at all!"

And after the brief silence suppressed by James' dunk, everyone slowly came to their senses following Kenny Smith's roar. Standing up on the seat and screaming loudly, Barkley on the other side still had an unbelievable and incomprehensible look on his face, just like the Bobcats players on the field, just looking at the whole scene stupidly. James hanging on the rim.

No one could have predicted that James would use this surprise to bring everyone a unique Christmas gift at the beginning of the game. Although the Bobcats fans were a little reluctant to want this gift, the very domineering James now uses
"Slam dunk? It's really an explosion! This guy really won't give up the game and start the game in the way he is most unaccustomed to. Is this his plan?"

Stotts, who came back to his senses, looked at the back of the Cavaliers No. 23 on the court, and shook his head with a wry smile. He really didn't expect that James would directly catch Gao Tian at the beginning of the opening game. The problem, he directly used the cover of the Cavaliers to get rid of Gao Tian and face Sun Yue!
And the thin Sun Yue wants to stop James who catches the ball and wants to dunk?
It's so hard!

Sun Yue seemed very helpless, and of course he wasn't the only one. All the Bobcats players who had just woken up looked at the No. 23 hanging on the basket with anger and fear in their eyes.

You must know that this is their home court, they are the absolute protagonists on the bed now, but now James' dunks at the beginning have poured cold water on all of them. James, whose eyes are full of murderousness, tells me everything with his actions Man, it is absolutely impossible for Bobcats to win the game easily!
Of course, facing the opening of James, Gao Tian will naturally not ignore the ensuing provocation. In any case, he will not let the Bobcats lose face in this Christmas battle.

After all, there are often winners and losers in the game, but in a game, even if they lose no matter how badly they lose, they will never lose their own spirit easily, and James' opening performance also hides this idea. A blow to the morale of the Bobcats at home, otherwise, relying on the growing noise of the Bobcats at home and the increasing morale of the players, it is almost impossible for the Cavaliers to retreat from the Bobcats' home!

Of course Gao Tian knew that the current Bobcats had to be led by him to fight back, no matter how he said he couldn't let James wreak havoc on the Bobcats' home court!

"The Cavaliers retreated very quickly. They seemed to expect the Bobcats to use a quick counterattack to hit them. It can be said that at least the Bobcats' plan did not succeed. They were forced to give the ball to Jayne in the middle circle again. Reorganize again."

Gao Tian shook his head secretly. The Cavaliers were too focused on defense. They didn't look like a team that was at its peak just now. Although they were proud, they were not careless.

Without paying much attention to the inside defense, Gao Tian chose to cover Zhan En without the ball. His sudden back run attracted the attention of all the Cavaliers players on the field. The running was torn apart. None of them thought that Gao Tian would directly throw off James' defense and run to the other side of the court. Seeing him like this, he seemed to choose a three-point catch.

The Cavaliers had complicated thoughts in their minds, but their body movements were not slow at all. At this moment, the Cavaliers had already stood up and there was a big hole in the defense!
"Inside! There is no one guarding Jen, he directly and easily entered the Cavaliers' restricted area, it was too easy, he chose a layup."

"No! Block! From LeBron!"

Kenny Smith's shout echoed in everyone's ears, and everyone's eyes widened when they saw that James, who had come to supplement the defense, pinned Jann's layup to the backboard. This was an almost perfect block. One can imagine that James can actually take care of the Cavaliers' basket when his defensive attention is on Gao Tian!
this is too scary!

Bobcats are in crisis!
