Christmas, the biggest traditional festival in the United States, is coming as scheduled.

Every corner of every city is full of the taste of Christmas.

Christmas tree, Santa Claus, and Christmas presents...

Besides getting in the festive spirit of Christmas...

The fans of the United States, known as the "Kingdom of Basketball", are also paying attention to the opening of the NBA's three Christmas games!
At 14:[-] p.m.,
The first game of the Christmas War——

【Knights VS Heat】Started!

This game can be said to be the most attractive to fans across the United States.

The confrontation between the little emperor and the Flash,

The whole process is exciting!

Zhan Huang used his super personal ability to continuously attack the Heat's inside line, and frequently completed dunks, which brought great visual shock to the fans!

The Flash Wade also broke through frequently, scored layups, and his offensive posture was picturesque.

But in the end, the Flash lost to the Cavaliers led by James Huang, ending with a score of 96 to 82.

After the game, the fans were hooked!
in comparison,

The second game, the Suns VS Rockets, did not receive as much attention in the United States as the first game.

but!

The ratings in Asia reached a new high!
Many Asian fans set their alarm clocks, and when they were soundly asleep at 4 o'clock in the morning, they got up enthusiastically to watch the broadcast!

The Christmas game between the Suns and the Rockets was held at the Toyota Center Arena in Houston, Texas, home of the Rockets.

The arena, which can accommodate 18500 people, was packed today.

And on this special day,

A lot of temporary seats and standing tickets have been added.

"I heard that little giant Yao will play today?"

"Wait a minute and you'll find out. The players are coming out soon."

"Actually, I want to say, I'm here to see that Asian boy number ten."

"..."

quickly.

Players from the Suns and Rockets entered the arena. When the fans saw that Yao Ming really returned from injury, they were extremely excited!
It is especially attractive to fans in Asia!
……

When warming up before the game.

Du Qi and Yao Ming met and chatted together, and Du Qi expressed his concern for the idol's injury.

ESPN captured Du Qi and Yao Ming in the same frame.

After warming up and getting ready to play,
Coach D'Antoni asked Duke:

"Du, do you think it's better if I send you on the field first or it's the same as before?"

D'Antoni is very clear,
Facing the Rockets' lineup, he can't be careless.

Can't decide whether to send Du Qi as the starter?

Seeing the coach ask for his opinion, Du Qi said directly:

"same as before."

When starting?
Duke didn't want to.

After all, my cheat time is only 7 minutes. If I don't use the cheat, it will be mediocre. Should I play it as a display?
D'Antoni nodded.

This scene made other Suns players realize that Dookie has won the trust of the coach.

This makes them somewhat envious and jealous.

Especially Nash and Xiaobawang, the coach rarely consulted them in this way!

……

With the whistle sounded.

The Christmas battle of Sun VS Rocket has begun.

Yao Ming and Xiaobawang competed for a jump ball, Xiaobawang Stoudemire took the lead in winning the ball for the Suns, and the battle officially began!
Diaw shot when he received the ball in the frontcourt. Because the shot was a bit hasty, it deviated a little from the basket. The basketball bounced off the iron and formed a rebound.

The little overlord pressed Yao Ming to grab the rebound.

Seeing Nash running inside, he passed the ball directly to Nash. Nash took the ball and hit the basket for a layup, but unfortunately Yao Ming blocked the shot!
This scene made the fans cheer.

"Big Yao is really amazing!"

"Nash hasn't entered the state yet..."

After being blocked by Yao Ming, the ball was received by Dior, McGrady came forward to block the block, Dior shook, shook McGrady away, and made a mid-range shot at a 45-degree angle. With a bang, the ball scored and won the opening first A two points!
But soon.

The little bully of the Suns fought back.

that's it,
The Suns VS Rockets game formed a tug of war.

In the first two quarters of the game, no one was better than the other. After you sing, I will appear on the stage, and the score is always between one or two goals.

Although there are constant small orgasms rising,
but.

But there was no big orgasm that shook everyone's spirits.

"If Du played, the game would definitely be different!"

"Yeah, our Asian Du can always create something interesting for people!"

"The Suns are still the same old, and they made Du wait until the second half..."

Many fans are waiting for Du Qi to play.

Sideline Rockets here,
Bishop Rick Adelman's expression was very serious. He knew very well that the Suns had not sent that Asian boy to play, which meant that the Suns had been retaining their strength!

This is not a good sign!
"We must find a way to quickly force that No. [-] of the Suns to come out..."

Adelman saw McGrady passing by the sidelines, so he had an idea and went to the sidelines and whispered to McGrady:

"McGrady, try to find a way to make Dior or Nash foul, both of them have committed three fouls..."

"clear."

"Convey this meaning to Yao as well."

McGrady responded and ran away.

At the end of the first half.

At the behest of Coach Adelman, Tracy McGrady successfully lured Dior into five fouls!The little bully who was facing Yao Ming fouled four times!
……

"Good job!"

During the halftime break, when the basketball court was occupied by fat and thin basketball babies, the coach of the Rockets said to Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady.

"The score was tied in the first half. On the surface, there was no advantage. But in fact, the Suns are already in crisis!"

Adelman stroked his chin,

"That's the problem of the number of fouls. Dior fouled five times. In the second half, the No. [-] kid will definitely be sent out. And Stoudemire fouled four times. How many times did Nash foul? Oh, great, also four times!

I think coach D'Antoni must be anxious to get angry, right? "

The Suns here.

D'Antoni was indeed in a hurry to get angry:
"Dio, pay attention to your foul problem...and Nash and Stoudemire—"

at this time.

Duke said:

"Coach, in the second half, you can completely protect Nash and Stoudemire. It shouldn't be a big problem for Diao to play with me."

As soon as Du Qi said this.

Immediately made Nash and the bully upset.

They all looked at Du Qi in unison,

What do you mean?
Think of yourself as the star of the Suns?
Dookie seemed to have expected their eyes. He glanced at Xiaobawang and Nash and didn't say anything. Just stare. I, Dookie, will not keep a low profile. At some point in the future, I will become the leader of the Suns Players have the right to speak!

Other team members also felt that Du Qi was too "arrogant".

but.

But coach D'Antoni raised his eyebrows, glanced at the expressions of Nash and Bully, and said to Du Qi:
"Du, are you sure this is feasible?"
