Chapter 130 129. The Christmas War, Chatter Comes Back
On the evening of December 12th, Los Angeles time, the game between the Lakers and the Heat at the Staples Center is about to begin.

Tonight's Staples is full of excitement. Celebrities from all walks of life are sitting on the sidelines. Jay-Z, the godfather of American hip-hop, is sitting on the sidelines with his wife Beyoncé, wearing a big gold chain, waiting for the start of the game.

Moreover, all the fans came to the arena early, sat in their seats early, and waited for the start of the game. They didn't want to miss Kobe for a second.

Of course, this is only the situation in one corner of the arena. As for how many stars came tonight, no one knows.

And all because of one person.

Yes, they all came to witness Kobe's comeback battle. Although Tang De's status in Los Angeles is also very high now, as long as Kobe is around, he can't become the absolute king of popularity in Los Angeles.

After all, Kobe is the totem of the Los Angeles Lakers, and no one can replace his position in the hearts of Lakers fans.

TNT commentary seats.

Kenny Smith: "Shaq, your good brother is back tonight, do you have anything to say?"

Kenny Smith said with a smile.

O'Neill: "WTF, what else can I say? I'm going to say he's literally knocking all the doors down on my house!"

Barkley: "Hahaha, did that guy really go to demolish your house?"

O'Neill: "That's not true, but in a dream last night, I dreamed that all the doors of my house were smashed down by a person. It was really scary!"

"However, I am very much looking forward to his performance tonight. Before he comes back, Don has been playing point forward most of the time. I don't know how they will play tonight!"

After some teasing, O'Neill continued.

Kenny Smith: "Just after his comeback, coach D'Antoni should not let Kobe play for too long, probably only about 20 minutes. The key is to see how the ball is allocated between him and Don. After all, Don also needs the ball very much. Yes, Tang can play his best role with the ball in hand!"

Wang Meng: "In nearly nine months, Kobe finally came back. This game is full of highlights, but for Kobe's comeback, I think Director Zhang has the most say!"

Weiping: "Haha, old man, I am a little excited. You all know that I like Kobe the most, so I am the happiest one when he comes back. I can't wait to see Kobe's performance, but I am more concerned about it. Still, how will the Lakers play after Kobe comes back, after all, they are used to playing without Kobe!"

Yang Yi: "I look at the starting list given by the Lakers before the game. Kobe should be at the point guard position. I don't know how D'Antoni arranged it."

Wang Meng: "First of all, I think Kobe will not play this game for too long, at most in the early 20 minutes. Secondly, he should have a lot of ball possession, so Tang De may play more of the role of the offensive end point. !"

Barrage.

"I'm so excited. Chatting is my idol. I also like Social Tang. What will it be like to play with these two? Let's start the game!"

"I don't want Kobe to return to his peak, but only hope that he can play healthy, that's enough!"

"I can't, I can't wait to see Director Zhang play tricks..."

"..."

"..."

"No. 24! Kobe... Bryant!"

With the crazy chanting of the DJ on the scene, Kobe was the last to complete his appearance, followed by Tang De.

The atmosphere at the Staples scene reached its highest point in an instant. Everyone stood up and gave Kobe the warmest applause.

Kobe also kept waving his hands, returning the most sincere thanks to the fans.

There is no one in this atmosphere. Those who don't know think they are really playing the tiebreaker of the finals.

The defending champions, the Heat, really don't have any reputation at all now. Anyway, they have also won the NBA championship for two consecutive years, and Kobe stole all the limelight.

At this time, Tang De finally witnessed how terrifying Kobe's popularity was.

Amid the wild cheers of the fans, Kobe walked over and hugged the opposing players one by one.

James: "Hey, man, you're back. If you don't come back, those brats will almost forget you. How is your recovery?"

Kobe: "Little brat? I'm afraid you will forget about me, the old man, right? Haha~ The body is almost there, but I still have to get used to it. The whole body is almost rusted."

Wade: "Mamba, tonight is your home stadium. Look at the people in the arena cheering for you. If we beat you here, they will hate us, right? Haha~"

Kobe: "Welcome to beat us, my dear champion guard, don't think you are stable!"

Bosh: "But that Don on your team is really good. He scored 60 points in the Portland game some time ago. God, this is simply terrible. He is only 21 years old, and he is still so young. , you have to take good care of your juniors, chatter!"

Kobe: "You mean Don? Yes, that little guy does have two talents, but he still has a lot to learn. After all, he is still young, and he hasn't fully realized the cruelty of the NBA."

……

After a few casual chats, the two sides began to warm up before the game.

There is no doubt that Christmas is one of the most important holidays in the United States, and the atmosphere of Christmas can be felt everywhere in the arena.

This is why the Christmas game has received so much attention. The teams that can participate in the Christmas game every year are all NBA teams with high reputation or strong strength.

The two presidents of the NBA on the sidelines reappeared at the Lakers' home court tonight, and they were very satisfied with the atmosphere tonight.

What is the most important thing about Christmas Wars?
Isn't it just popularity, isn't it just wanting to present the highest visual feast to the fans.

Obviously, this purpose has been achieved.

While the players on both sides were busy warming up before the game, the live broadcast screen gave the starting list of both sides tonight.

Heat: point guard Mario Chalmers, shooting guard Dwyane Wade, small forward Shane Battier, power forward LeBron James, center Chris Bosh.

Lakers: point guard Kobe, shooting guard Nick Young, small forward Don De, power forward Gasol, center Whiteside.

Everything is ready, the game is about to start.

Bosh and Bai Bian walked towards the middle circle. In fact, the body shapes of these two people are still very similar, both of which are lean big men.

Due to the serious lack of people inside the Heat, since Chris Bosh came to the Heat, he will be pushed to the center position more often.

The height of a power forward is indeed a bit reluctant to play as a center, so people say that Bosh is the one who sacrificed the most among the "Big Three".

He also often becomes the team's "back-up man", but he has no choice but to serve the championship, and someone must make sacrifices if he chooses to sign up for the team.

As soon as the referee's whistle sounded, Baibian instantly pulled the spring device on the sole of his foot and grabbed the offensive ball from Bosh.
