Season, the annual Christmas Eve, NBA officials have scheduled 6 games tonight, namely:
Toronto Men's vs. Miami Heat
Chicago Bulls VS San Antonio Spurs
Cleveland Cavaliers VS Los Angeles Lakers
Oklahoma City Thunder VS Golden State Warriors
Portland Trail Blazers VS Houston Mosaic
Each of the six duels has its own highlights, attracting the attention of countless fans.
Of course, if we talk about these 6 duels, the one that seems most out of place among the 12 teams is undoubtedly the Houston Mosaics.
There is no other reason.
The other 11 teams are all among the top eight teams in the playoffs in their respective divisions. Unless something unexpected happens, they will definitely have a spot in this year's Eastern and Western playoffs.
On the other hand, the Mosaic team does seem a bit embarrassed among the strong teams.
Although it is related to the various complex situations in their team at this time, this cannot be an excuse for them not to even enter the top eight in the division.
There are a lot of discussions on the Internet about this year's Christmas war, and there are many voices ridiculing the Mosaic team.
In a flash, it was one day before Christmas Eve, and James Harden and his teammates had arrived in Portland.
After getting off the plane, they found that the city was surrounded by a strong Christmas atmosphere.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Harden glanced at his mouth unwillingly.
Now there are rumors on the Internet that the league's top management regrets arranging this year's Christmas game so quickly. If they had known that the Mosaic team would be so defeated, they would definitely change to a strong team to fight the Trail Blazers.
For Harden, who just ascended to the position of the active first shooting guard last season, such a voice is undoubtedly a slap in the face.
He was a little angry about this.
No one wants to be looked down upon, even bearded men.
Perhaps Harden, who was previously addicted to extravagant entertainment off the court, didn't have that strong a desire to win, but the various unfavorable comments on the Internet in the past two days have greatly boosted his desire to win.
James Harden's desire to win now is far greater than in any previous period.
This season, the Mosaic team's performance has surprised everyone. Harden certainly knows that there are some factors of his own in this, but he also feels that he should not be the target of everyone's anger.
Doesn't he know that the team's record is poor?
He also wanted to improve, but the cost-effective No. 12 was unwilling to cooperate with him. Coupled with the mediocre coaching staff, multiple factors led to the current situation of the Mosaic team.
I have to admit that at this stage, it seems that the bearded golfer still has a long way to go before he can become a mature leader.
…
On the 24th, the Mosaic team conducted closed training and refused all interviews.
What is quite surprising is that Harden was the first player to show up at the training ground today. When other players arrived, they found that Harden was sweating profusely and seemed to have been training for a while.
"Hmph! Pretending."
At halftime on the other side, Howard, who had changed into training clothes and came out, glanced at Harden with disdain and then started his own training.
Now, the conflict between the two core players of the Mosaic team has long been brought to the table. It is rumored that the Mosaic team has reached communication with other teams and has been seeking trading plans.
As for who was traded, it is still unknown, but due to this impact, two major factions were formed within the Mosaic team around Howard and Harden.
Even during weekday training, unless the coach asks the team to practice, it is almost impossible for the two of them to appear in the same area for training.
In the weird team atmosphere, time passed quickly.
Soon, the much-anticipated Christmas will arrive!
This night is a very special day for the entire West.
Similarly, in order to satisfy the expectations of wild fans in the province, NBA officials have arranged six strong dialogues tonight.
Even though the Trail Blazers and Mosaic team are slightly apart, the popularity remains unabated. In a game with the defending champion, the top three are definitely the most popular.
But if we were to select the most popular matchup, it would be the match between the Big Three of Cleveland going to the home court of the Los Angeles Lakers and the Big Three of the Lakers, Kobe, Paul, and Gasol.
In addition to the "23VS24" segment that fans are familiar with, tonight's city center is brightly lit with stars, and celebrities from all walks of life have followed suit.
Among them, "Taylor Swift", a loyal female fan of Kobe Bryant, and Tihanna, a loyal female fan of Little Emperor James, the two European and American music queens started to quarrel with each other from a distance before the game, which made the Lakers
The showdown with the Cavaliers has skyrocketed in popularity, with tens of millions of people watching online.
This is also the only one among the six Christmas battles this year that had more than 10 million viewers before the game!
The second most popular one is the Thunder's away game against the Warriors at Oracle Arena.
The Christmas Eve battle between the two current superstars Kudu is destined to be very popular.
Speaking of which, even though there are games to be played today, Wang Zelin is very concerned about the match between the Warriors and Thunder, even more so than the Lakers-Carriers battle.
He was thinking that if the Warriors beat the Thunder tonight, wouldn't Curry have to achieve the achievement of "successfully collecting a Durant fragment"!
Ahem, the topic has gone too far.
Back to business.
One thing to say, if it weren’t for the fact that the Mosaic team had a big hip this season, the showdown between the Trail Blazers and the Mosaic team would have been the finale of this year’s Christmas game!
This view can actually be seen from the schedule of the six games.
The league placed this game after the Lake Cavalry Battle and the Brave Thunder Battle, which shows how much it attaches importance to being the defending champion.
Fortunately, thanks to Wang Zelin's own traffic attributes, the popularity of this game is also very high, and the audience is also full of stars.
There are many domestic celebrities, such as Jay Chou, Cheng Long, Zhang Ziyi and others, as well as Hollywood celebrities, such as the "widow sister" Scarlett Johansson and several of her relatives who once had an affair with Wang Zelin.
A best friend in the circle.
Of course, there are also the Kardashian sisters whose popularity and traffic are no less than those of Hollywood's top stars.
In the stands, Jenner and her sister Khloe Kardashian were chatting and seemed to be discussing whose man was stronger tonight!
The time has come to 8:30 pm, the Rose Garden Arena, and tonight’s final Christmas game is about to begin.
Before the game, both sides announced.
Mosaic: Ty Lawson, Harden, Ariza, Corey Brewer, Dwight Howard.
Trail Blazers: Lillard, Barton, Batum, Aldridge, Wang Zelin.
At the entrance of the tunnel, after the substitute players came on, the main players came out shortly after, and the two teams met at the exit.
Wang Zelin glanced at the other party and said to Batum and the others: "Brothers, let us defeat them tonight!"
"Blow them up!" Batum and others shouted.
"These arrogant bastards! Stop looking down on others!"
