NBA bench saves national team

Two or three days before the start of the Christmas game, the NBA officially announced the first phase of the All-Star voting.

There is no suspense.

Qin Feng ranked first with more than 150 million votes.

James, who ranked second, only received 80 votes, nearly half of the gap with Qin Feng.

Ranked third is Kobe Bryant, who received 79 votes, which is very similar to James, between the two.

Next are Durant, Paul, Curry, Rose and other players, with about 70 votes.

in this way.

The popularity of the entire alliance is divided into three grades.

Qin Feng is the only existence, then James and Kobe are in the second rank, and the remaining superstars are in the third rank!

And the 150 million votes received by Qin Feng in the first stage is also a record.

Of course, since Qin Feng landed in the league, he has been setting records in the All-Star voting.

If he breaks the record in the number of votes, then Qin Feng is only breaking his own record.

With the announcement of the number of votes, it also sparked heated discussions on the Internet around the world.

When the fans were still unsatisfied, the much-anticipated Christmas game came.

On Christmas Day, the NBA has arranged a total of five games, namely Bulls vs. Nets, Heat vs. Lakers, Thunder vs. Knicks, Rockets vs. Spurs, Clippers vs. Warriors.

Every game has a lot to watch.

One of the most eye-catching is the Heat vs. Lakers game.

Last season's Christmas game, because the league used Qin Feng's gimmick to return to the Ford Center Arena, so the opponent arranged for the Lakers was the Thunder.

This season, the league's opponent for the Lakers in the Christmas game was replaced by the Heat.

After all, the Heat have James.

The pk between Qin Feng and James is more attractive than the pk between Qin Feng and Durant.

Now James is recognized as the second star in the league, second only to Qin Feng.

When the Christmas match list was announced, fans all over the world were already looking forward to it.

Now it's finally here!

Except for the Heat vs. Lakers game, other games are also very interesting.

The Bulls vs. Nets is undoubtedly a direct dialogue between the two powerhouses in the East.

Although the Nets formed the four kings, the effect was not so good, and the increase in combat power was not as high as expected, but the Nets still firmly ranked fourth in the Eastern Conference.

It is only two games away from the third-ranked Bulls in the Eastern Conference.

The biggest highlight of the Thunder vs. Knicks game is undoubtedly the top-level duel between Durant and Anthony, the two small forwards.

From the perspective of overall strength, the Thunder team is stronger, so in the prediction of the outcome, the Thunder team won more support.

The Rockets vs. the Spurs can be regarded as a duel between two veteran teams, but the Rockets have been rebuilding in the past two years and have not yet completed the rebuilding.

The Spurs are still the top team in the West, so there is no suspense about the outcome of this game.

The final Clippers vs. Warriors game is also quite exciting.

The contest between the rising Curry of the new generation and the traditional point guard god Chris Paul also attracted the attention of many fans.

But no matter how many games the league arranges and which teams are in the game, the most dazzling and most concerned are still the Lakers.

This kind of influence is unmatched by other teams.

......

Staples Center.

An hour before the game, there were already a sea of ​​people, and there were no empty seats.

The audience was clamoring enthusiastically, eagerly waiting for the start of the game.

Since the end of the finals last season, this is the first time that the two top powers of the Lakers and Heat have met.

Can the Heat avenge their loss in the Finals?

Countless Heat fans are sitting in front of the TV, waiting anxiously.

It is worth mentioning that.

In addition to the elements of the Lakers in the Staples Center Arena, there are many elements of Christmas, and the surrounding of the video on the big screen is also Christmas red.

The atmosphere is completely in place.

Accompanied by the warm cheers of the audience.

Two teams ran out of the player channel, and then came the player introduction.

Every time the MC introduced a Lakers player, there would be bursts of cheers on the scene, and Qin Feng, who appeared as the finale, was even more cheered like a tsunami.

As for the introduction of the Heat players, the cheers on the scene were much smaller, and there were even boos.

This is the difference between home and away.

But for players who have experienced many battles, this little booing is obviously nothing.

James and others were all face still, concentrating on warm-up training.

beep.

A whistle sounded.

The pre-match warm-up session is over, and the starting players of both sides appear on the field.

The starting lineup of the Lakers is: Gasol, Antetokounmpo, Qin Feng, Kobe, Lowry.

The Heat's starting lineup is: Chris Bosh, Sean Battier, James, Wade, Chalmers.

The same starting lineup as last season's finals.

"Judging from the starting lineups of both sides, I think the Lakers can win the game."

"The Heat really did nothing during the offseason last season! This left the team's strength unchanged, and even with Wade's decline, the team's strength has also declined."

"On the other hand, the Lakers made a series of adjustments during the offseason, which not only allowed the team to continue to maintain a strong strength, but also cultivate new players. If the new players grow up again, the Heat will have no hope of winning against the Lakers. gone."

Barkley said, shaking his head helplessly.

This wave of the Heat lost completely.

Especially the management, there is no comparison.

Kupchak can be said to have beat Pat Riley.

"The Heat still pay too much attention to the team's salary issue. If they can be more generous like the Lakers and pay tens of millions more in luxury tax, then their lineup will definitely not be as bad as it is now."

O'Neill also said.

If you want to win the championship, how can you do it without investing?

The Lakers are the defending champions, and the investment in the team is also a lot of money.

In the past five or six years, the Lakers have paid luxury taxes every season, it's just a matter of how much.

In the most season, they paid more than 3000 million US dollars in luxury tax, which can be said to be the league's first luxury tax team.

"This season is the last season of the Heat's Big Three combination. It is basically impossible for the Heat to keep the Big Three during the offseason. After all, James has made it clear before that the next contract will definitely not Signing a salary cut!"

Barkley said that he is also quite worried about the future of the Heat.

on the field.

Pau Gasol and Bosh jump the ball.

The latter took the basketball out, and the Heat took the lead in attacking! !
