December's schedule has been relatively uneventful, with the clouds of the Auburn Hills Palace incident hanging over the league's teams.

The ratings have dropped, the attention has dropped, but the number of fans who have attended the stadium has not decreased, and many of the fans who come to watch the game are die-hard fans, who may have been fans of the team since their elders. The reason why I feel that the impact of the incident is so great is that the media has added fuel to the fire.

There were two teams that had a long winning streak when people weren't even looking. They are the Bobcats in the East and the Suns in the West.

As of December 25, the Suns have not tasted defeat since the start of the three-game losing streak, and it has been 19 consecutive wins. With 19 wins and 3 losses, they are firmly in first place in the West, and their scoring average remains around 115 points per game. They will face the Houston Rockets, who are third in the West, in the Christmas game.

Yao Ming is currently averaging 28.8 points and 11 rebounds per game, O'Neal, Duncan. Garnett's stats are not comparable to him, and he is the one who carries the Rockets on his shoulders. He's so strong and consistent that Francis also looks like a role player, often pitting teams with extreme inefficiency.

28.8 points is also the top scoring point inside, currently ranked fourth in the league scoring list, the top three are Wade 31.7 points, James 31.1 points, Iverson 29.8 points, fifth and sixth are Maddy and Kobe Bryant, 28.2 points and 27 points.

Maddie is due to the team's new strength players, and the right to shoot is taken away, while Kobe Bryant is purely not well adjusted after becoming the boss, and his performance is extremely unstable, sometimes a dozen points a game, sometimes a game of 40+. But this is the only way for Kobe Bryant to achieve greatness, and he must learn how to be a leader.

The Bobcats in the East are even more terrifying, having won 16 in a row since their last loss to the Suns and currently have a 22-1 record that leads the league. What's even more terrifying is the team's average stats per game, the Bobcats average 114 points per game and concede 98.8 points per game, which means they can win 15.2 points per game. The second-place Suns also have an average goal difference of only about 9 points per game.

Wade averaged 31.7 points, 3.5 rebounds and 6.9 assists per game, and O'Neal averaged 26.6 points and 12.2 rebounds per game. The current alliance mentions that this pair has a headache or a headache, the OK combination is disbanded, and the O group doesn't seem to be reckless.

In today's Christmas game, the league has arranged a good topic opponent for the Bobcats, the Miami Heat, who were opponents in last year's playoffs. And the Heat, who are currently 19-5 and second in the East and fourth in the league, are a strong rival to the Bobcats in the East.

History has proven that strong dialogue is the most striking aspect of the Christmas War. The game between the Bobcats and the Heat was scheduled for the last game, so Hu Qingniu and they were not in a hurry until the 25th. Because Charlotte and Miami are both Southeast teams, they are actually not far apart.

The Suns and Rockets game was played first, and Hu Qingniu tuned in to the visiting locker room at the American Airlines Center in Miami after landing.

This group of games is very topical, Nash and Yao Ming, this is the current dialogue between the hottest small man and the hottest big man in the league, one is the slowest pace in the league, the top three teams in defense, and the other is the fastest paced team in the league and the first offensive team.

The traditional duel in the future, whether the giant beast Yao Ming can fight against the small ball tactics.

Yao Ming and Xiao Si, the strongest duo in Class 02, have the same interior line and different centers. Small's current 26 points and 8.9 rebounds are also an amazing improvement.

The game between the two teams is like a muddy river and a clear river meet, and the difference is really obvious.

The Suns' offense is interesting.

Nash and Xiao Si accelerated to break through after the block, but Yao Ming's huge body single-handedly guarded their offensive line.

Nash had no choice but to dial the ball to Joe Johnson on the baseline, because it was the Christmas game, Francis's defensive enthusiasm came up, and he flashed up to stick to Joe Johnson and prevent him from getting a comfortable position.

Joe Johnson didn't have room to shoot, Nash saw this and came over to give a cover, Yao Ming was not slow to react, and also turned his body to face this side.

Unexpectedly, Joe Johnson quickly threw the ball towards Xiao Si's downward route, Yao Ming turned around, and his footsteps could no longer keep up, so he could only watch Xiao Si stride into the inner line.

At this time, Marion was ambushed in the bottom corner of the weak side, and the aging Juwan Howard saw that Xiao Si was fierce, so he pretended to take a step forward and immediately retreated, honestly guarding his Marion. His old arms and legs can't afford to be spaced.

No one came to stop him, Xiao Si laughed, and the overlord dunked.

The Suns' entire offense is extremely smooth, improvised, and there is no stagnation in the slightest, and after two months of cooperation, their offense has really reached a level unimaginable for many teams in the league.

Turning his head, the Rockets' offense didn't have the slightest trick to speak of.

From fast to slow, the style of the two teams is two extremes, Mobley is almost dribbling the ball and walking carelessly, he is waiting for Yao Ming to walk slowly through the half, not that Yao Ming can't run fast, but this saves his physical strength. Everyone was watching him move slowly, and Yao Ming deserved this treatment.

The two sides fell, and the three of the rocket players pulled to one side, leaving the old cat Mobley on top of the fox, while Yao Ming fought hand-to-hand with Xiao Si on the other side.

"Bang! Boom! Boom! ”

Yao Ming suddenly turned around vigorously, Xiao Si was thrown out two meters away by the impact, although he had good coordination, and immediately stood firm and wanted to turn around to chase, but Yao Ming's steps were huge, one step, two steps, and he hit the basket in an instant.

Mobley basketball hoisted in.

At this time, Marion and Joe Johnson came over to stop them, Yao Ming didn't care about these dwarfs, raised his head to catch the basketball, it was like a giant mecha invading the human city, Marion and Joe Johnson fell backwards vigorously, one hand vigorously poured the basket, and the Suns players couldn't pull it down if they wanted to.

Although the styles of the two teams are very different, the strength is quite close, and neither team can beat the opponent's scoring points. The Suns have too many means to score, and the Rockets, no one can stop Yao Ming, even if he wants to tear down the Suns' basket, the Suns have to watch him play.

Whether it is Xiao Si, or Marion, or the three-person pinch, they are useless to the current Yao Ming, he is like a giant who has broken into Lilliputia, and he is rampant and domineering on the inside.

The final key point of victory and defeat appeared in the last attack, the Suns possessed the ball, but Xiao Si's dunk was pressed on the rebound by Yao Ming's palm, and the game ended.

The Suns' 19-game winning streak ended up losing to the most traditional team. Traditional center Yao Ming, and traditional coach Van Gundy won a game for traditional basketball.

However, even if the Suns lose this game, they are still 19-4, the first record in the West.

Because the Spurs also lost, they just lost to the Lakers in the Christmas game. Kobe Bryant's Christmas War, which was broadcast live across the United States, broke out, and the 50 points in a single game announced that his era was not over, and he was still one of the protagonists of the league.

The Spurs, on the other hand, have one less attacking figure without Ginobili, who have already lost several games this month due to offensive problems.
