Chapter 110
Los Angeles is known as the "City of Entertainment". It has the world's largest DreamWorks Hollywood. The Christmas War is arranged on December 12th in the United States, which is the so-called Carnival Night. There is a natural connection between the two.Among the ball markets in the United States, perhaps only the Big Apple can compete with Los Angeles. However, the Knicks' decade of chaos was a decade of complete failure, so Los Angeles, which is thriving, must do its part.
Of course, among these three factors, the team and the star are more important, and the two complement each other. The performance of the superstar has made the team brilliant, and the strength of the team has made the star shine even more. The 11-year Los Angeles Lakers and the eternal protagonist Kobe on Christmas Eve.
Shen Feng was lying on the sofa at home, watching the live broadcast of the game.
Cavaliers starting: Mo Williams, Parker, James, Hickson, O'Neal.
Lakers starting: Fisher, Bryant, Metta World Peace, Gasol, Bynum.
After the opening, the Lakers scored 6 points in a row and started 8-2. The Cavaliers changed their formation in desperation and replaced the "Big Z" early to form a "Twin Towers" lineup. The Lakers consisted of Bynum and Gasol on the inside. A situation of "Twin Towers" vs. "Twin Towers" appeared on the Internet.
The Cavaliers' move had an immediate effect, and they even overtook in one fell swoop with a wave of 9-0.O'Neal faced his former team with great enthusiasm. In the first quarter, he dunked three times at the basket. The Cavaliers once led 23 to 15, and after the first quarter, they had a slight advantage of 23 to 19.
Varejao made a strong attack in the second quarter, Williams scored two goals in a row, and the Cavaliers expanded the point difference to double digits 29 to 19.Kobe hit two points with difficult throws, but Varejao succeeded in successive storms, West also hit a goal, and the difference between the two sides continued to expand.
费舍尔跳投中的将比分迫近至25比35时骑士随即回敬一波9比0的进攻高潮，此后韦斯特又命中三分，骑士47比27将分差拉开到了20分。
It seems that the overall situation is settled.
However, with Fisher and Artest joining hands to launch a counterattack, the Lakers approached the score somewhat.At the end of the quarter, Kobe made a layup and made two free throws, and the point difference between the two sides narrowed to single digits.James hit a three-pointer from the backcourt at the last moment but was eventually ruled invalid. The Cavaliers ended the first half with a 51-point lead 42 to 9.
"Looking at it like this, the Lakers have little hope." Shen Feng picked up a pack of snacks and opened them casually, put them in his mouth and began to chew.
"The chattering broke out after losing this game, right?" Shen Feng thought of a possibility.
For someone like Kobe, losing a game like this is too painful.
The two on the opposite side are his "enemies"!
"Nagging for half the time?" After eating a bag of snacks, Shen Feng suddenly discovered something, and then sat up straight.
"Fuck! I'm trying my best, this is it."
At the beginning of the third quarter, Mo directly hit a three-pointer, Gasol and Kobe scored 6 points together, and the Lakers narrowed the gap to only 6 points.Xiao Mo stepped forward again at this time, he scored 5 points in a row, and the Cavaliers led by 59 points 48 to 11.
Serving Kobe Bryant's two offenses were blocked by Parker, Artest also missed two 3-pointers, Fisher made a defensive foul, and he also received a technical foul, Xiaomo made two more free throws, and there are still 7 points in this quarter At 36 seconds, the Cavaliers led 61-48.
Kobe was a little impatient, and was blocked by 34-year-old Anthony Parker for two consecutive attacks.Bryant's short-term outbreak obviously can't help the Lakers stop the decline. Mo Williams and James joined hands to show off. The Cavaliers firmly controlled the situation, but Kobe could not do it alone.
Kobe made a three-pointer before the end of the quarter. The Lakers trailed by 17 points at the end of the third quarter. Kobe made only 3 of 24 shots in the first three quarters.
The Lakers make the last resistance.Halfway through the fourth quarter, Artest made a long-range three-pointer to tie the score to 73-86, but Moon immediately responded with a three-pointer with a rebound at the end of 24 seconds.
The Lakers never gave up, but they still couldn't narrow the point difference. Under the rush, the players lost control on the field. Gasol then made a hasty shot and missed. Artest fouled while grabbing a rebound and was out with 6 fouls. After 1 minute, Odom was also sent out after eating two technical fouls.
The fans off the field quit and threw their cheering foam boards onto the field. Kobe was whistled for another technical foul after more than ten seconds, so more "palms" were thrown into the field. And it comes with a very lethal water bottle - and it's full.
Bryant's 32-of-11 shooting from the field and the embarrassment of 4 turnovers.He kept yelling and yelling at the referee. If the stage of the Christmas game was not in Los Angeles, he would have been fined.
Instead, Artest and Odom were both ejected by the referee in the fourth quarter. Kobe's impatience affected the entire Lakers, but it did prove that they cared too much about the gains and losses of the Christmas game.The players lost their composure at home, and the Lakers fans couldn't accept the shame and humiliation on Christmas Day. The mineral water bottles filled with water became their Christmas gifts.A sky full of foam cushions flying under the Staples banner...
You must know that Los Angeles fans have always been known for their gentleness, and such a chaotic scene is unheard of. It is conceivable how dissatisfied the fans have reached.
In response to this scene, James once again showed his high EQ side. He said after the game: "At that time, the only thing I hoped for was that no one would be injured, neither players nor referees, especially not Got hit by those water bottles." James said, "When it happens on the court, and it happens very suddenly, you can only hope that there is no injury. Fortunately, today No one got hurt, which is pretty good."
"The referee whistled a big problem in this game, and the game itself also had a big problem, so I think this kind of behavior is a reaction to this game." Zen Master then defended the fans.
Bryant also expressed his opinion, he said: "If you really want to throw something, then at least throw something that doesn't hurt, so I think those palms are a good choice."
When asked about the importance of victory to the Cavaliers, James said modestly: "Victory is not to send a signal to the opponent, but to give ourselves a signal-we are now comparable to the best teams in the league."
The Cavaliers successfully won the Christmas game at the Staples Center this time, and the next Kojan duel, the Lakers will be a guest in Cleveland and the Cavaliers of James for the next Kojan war. add".
The grand finale of this year's Christmas War is over.
Speaking of which, in terms of excitement, it is not as good as the game between the Knicks and the Heat, or even the game between the Trail Blazers and the Nuggets.
But in terms of bloodshed and influence, this one is much bigger.
The Christmas game is over, and the Knicks only have one day to rest.
This is why many people are reluctant to fight the Christmas war.
Being in the limelight belongs to being in the limelight, but being tired is really tiring.
The day after the Christmas game, the Knicks played against the San Antonio Spurs at home.
The San Antonio Spurs are perhaps the most consistent and best team of the decade, whether you call it a "dynasty" or not.
They have a great coach. Popovich has completely improved Larry Brown's set and established a Spurs-style pragmatic and rigorous tactical style; they have the top uniforms in the league, which makes them from the draft. A lot of treasures were found in the middle of the game, which also allowed them to provide Popovich with suitable puzzles in time; they have many outstanding players, such as Parker and Ginobili, as well as many tough guys who are attracted by the reputation of the Holy City ...
But most importantly, they have Tim Duncan!
The big man who was drafted by the Spurs with the No. 1997 pick in [-] has become one of the greatest power forwards in history.
This "one" can even be removed to some extent.
His statistics are not gorgeous, but he is the mainstay of the entire team's offensive and defensive ends. He is the reason why the Spurs can become this Spurs.
Last season, the Spurs went down the legend of winning the championship in odd-numbered years, and this once-ageless myth finally woke up one day.
And the Spurs' elimination in the first round of the playoffs is really unexpected, because the Spurs have been frequent visitors to the Western Conference Finals in recent years, and it is not difficult to win the championship.
However, if you think about it carefully, everything makes sense. This is the consequence of Popovich’s complacency in recent years. The Spurs have not introduced powerful foreign aid these years, and their troika is getting older. Ginobili was plagued by injuries again, and the Argentine didn't even play in the playoffs due to injuries.
However, what is even more frightening is that the Spurs' role players are better than the main players, and their inaction is also the main culprit for the team's collapse.
The so-called learning from the pain and thinking about change, change leads to success, and mastery leads to success.As Popovich said, "The current league is not what it was yesterday. We used to spend a little money to do big things, but today we have to spend a lot of money to win a championship." It can be seen that the Spurs coach has realized the need to return blood nature, and the Spurs management is not blind, they need to take another big gamble before Duncan goes downhill, so this is why there is an unprecedented large-scale recruitment this offseason.
The Spurs first traded for Jefferson, even though the price they paid was Bruce Bowen, Kurt Thomas and Fabricio Oberto, three veterans who made great contributions to the Spurs, even if Jefferson still With a two-year, $2920 million contract, the Spurs didn't even blink.
Because what they fancy is Jefferson's strength, his complement to the troika.
The arrival of Jefferson will change everything. As an All-Star forward, he is by no means in vain. Jefferson made 2008% of his three-pointers in the 09-39.7 season, which is the best performance of his career.And if he plays small forward, he is more often required to shoot three-pointers from the left and right corners, which can allow opponents to double-team Duncan, Parker or Gino Belgium to deal a fatal blow.
It is worth mentioning that Jefferson made 118 of 54 shots in the left and right corners last season, with a shooting percentage as high as 45.9%. He is undoubtedly a very suitable player for the Spurs.In addition, Jefferson's defensive ability is also remarkable, so even if Bowen leaves, it will not weaken the team's defensive strength.With such a powerful helper like Jefferson, the Spurs have advanced by leaps and bounds silently.
More importantly, the arrival of Jefferson can enrich the Spurs' tactical system to a greater extent, allowing the Spurs to maintain three vigorous attack points on the court at any time, and Parker and Ginobili can also get enough rest time , which is more important for Ginobili, who is plagued by injuries.
In this way, the Spurs' backcourt combination is enough to compete with any opponent, but their frontcourt strength has been greatly reduced.
Duncan's footsteps are getting slower and slower, and his physical strength is getting worse and worse. It is difficult to see him getting anything he wants at the basket.Although Duncan still has good statistics in this year's playoffs, we can see the helplessness in the eyes of this strong man more often. No one can escape the corrosion of the years, and his knee injury has become his permanent pain.Oberto's departure made matters worse, so the arrival of McDyess was a matter of course.
McDyess served as a center for the Pistons and averaged 4 points and 13 rebounds in four playoff games last season.However, in the Spurs, McDyess may team up with Duncan to become the team's starting frontcourt partner.
Both are excellent offensive and defensive, which will allow the Spurs to continue to maintain a championship-level defense.Taking into account the problem of older age, the Spurs also took precautions. They signed rookie forward DeJuan Blair.It can be said that the frontcourt led by Duncan and Yu McDyess is not inferior to the famous Lakers Twin Towers.
Even though the Spurs' front and rear courts have reached the championship level today, they are still not perfect. Their old age and perimeter defense problems are their hidden dangers.The current Spurs rely on a group of veterans to dominate the world, with rich experience, but it is an indisputable fact that they are prone to injuries, especially the troika must ensure that they can play healthy.
Popovich should not reject Bowen. Even though Bowen has lived up to his bravery, his three-pointers can still help the team, and his defense is indispensable for the team. Dirty, but most effective and straightforward.Looking at the Spurs today, although there is no shortage of defensive masters on the perimeter, they are as insidious and calm as Bowen, and their perimeter is difficult to be leak-proof.
For the Spurs, the only problem is health, which is a big reason why the Spurs have done nothing in the past two years.Ginobili's habitual injury is worrying, Duncan's knee injury is an irreparable injury caused by a long career, and McDyess and Ratliff also have considerable injury risks.If these people can't stay healthy, then the Spurs will not only be unable to win the championship, but also likely to repeat the tragedy of being out in the first round of last season.
