"What is this?" Tang Tian asked suspiciously, he had never heard of this link at Christmas in his previous life.

"It's good news."

"Good news?" Tang Tian looked at Hathaway suspiciously.

"Legend has it that angels told shepherds outside Bethlehem the good news of Jesus' birth, and this ritual is a repetition of that process, and every year the church organizes a number of choirs to sing Christmas carols door-to-door or under windows, with some people joining in, and eventually the scale grows larger."

After listening to Hathaway's explanation, Tang Tian probably understood, he didn't expect Christmas to have such an interesting tradition.

"Let's make a wish, and it is said that at this time the wish will be heard by Jesus, and the wish will come true."

Hathaway said as she stretched out her hands and began to make a wish.

Tang Tian saw her do this, and he also did the same action after realizing it.

It wasn't until the singing stopped that Hathaway put her hand down.

"What did you wish?" Hathaway asked, turning her head.

"Didn't you say that you can't say what you have promised, and if you say it, it won't work?" Tang Tian asked rhetorically.

"Do you have that to say?"

"Not here?"

Both men looked puzzled.

"That's simple, don't say my wishes, just tell me your wishes." Tang Tian said with a smile.

Hathaway was stunned for a moment and came back to her senses, and then slapped Tang Tian on the chest: "Okay, you kid, take advantage of your cousin!" ”

Tang Tian was also teasing Hathaway, and laughed at this time.

"But it's okay to tell you, I just wanted you to do well in the NBA." Hathaway continued.

Tang Tian paused, he originally thought that Hathaway would make a wish to wish himself to become a supermodel as soon as possible or something, but he didn't expect it to be a wish for him.

The moonlight shone on Hathaway, and it seemed to be very charming at this time.

Seeing that Tang Tian had been looking at him, Hathaway's face turned slightly red, and she turned her head to look inside the house and said, "It's about to be the New Year's bell, let's go back to the house." ”

Tang Tian came back to his senses, nodded, and followed Hathaway back to the house.

“3！”

“2！”

“1！”

With the sound of the countdown, the streamers held by Hathaway and Tang Tian spewed into the sky, and for Americans, a new year has arrived.

On the first day after Christmas, Tang Tian returned to the team.

While everyone else was sitting in front of the TV watching the Heat and Lakers' Christmas game, he and Thibodeau were already sitting in the conference room working on the tape.

While the team is doing well, the rest of the schedule will be difficult for the Rockets.

The following week, in addition to the two games against the Nuggets, they also played the Suns and Spurs once, one back-to-back, and the intensity was comparable to that of the Finals.

The two of them studied it all day, and the tactics and rotation were almost touched.

However, in the end, Tang Tian was a little inexplicably worried, but he couldn't say anything for a while.

The NBA Christmas game attracted a lot of attention, but unfortunately O'Neal was absent due to injury and could not let the OK grudge happen again.

However, the game did not disappoint the fans, Wade delivered 40 points and 11 assists in this game, leading the team to a 101-85 victory over the Lakers, Kobe Bryant played a little erratically, only scored 16 points on 4-of-17 shooting, and his 40+ scoring record came to an abrupt end.

This season's Lakers are Kobe Bryant's single-core, and various scoring records are broken every day, but individuals are always tired, let alone on the first day after Christmas.

After the Christmas game, NBA teams are also starting to get busy for the upcoming games.

After a morning of practice, the Rockets flew to Denver, where they will face the new Nuggets.

Denver is located in the plateau and is one of the NBA's well-known plateau home courts, and the away road here is obviously not easy to play.

Iverson has just arrived at the team, and he hasn't run in much with the Nuggets, so choking Anthony and Iverson is Tang Tian's strategy and the right idea.

However, for the first time, the game was a little out of control.

Anthony was restrained by Battier, but Iverson completely blew up the Rockets' point guards on both ends of the floor, whether it was Alston or Spanolys, or even Hyde, they were all blown up by the historic superstar.

In the end, the team still lost 111-114 despite Yao scoring 60 points and the Rockets hitting 14 three-pointers.

Iverson went on a spree in his first game with the Nuggets, scoring a season-high 42 points and taking away the win.

After a day of rest, the Rockets flew to San Anthony to take on the Spurs.

The Rockets played steadily in the first three quarters, relying on Yao Mai's excellent play and the team's accurate three-point shots, they were always on par with the Spurs.

But in the crucial fourth quarter, the Spurs' "French sports car" Parker began to exert his power, stealing Alston one after another, and personally played a wave of 6-0, and the Spurs also snatched the victory, and finally won the game 102-96.

Parker contributed 23 points, 11 assists and 6 steals in the game, playing an MVP-caliber performance.

followed the Rockets' non-stop flight to Phoenix to challenge the Suns.

Perhaps aware of something, Suns coach D'Antoni deliberately increased Nash's individual ball-handling offense, while using a frantic pressing mode against the Rockets' point guards.

Alston was forced to become a spot-shooter, but seemed to have been affected by the last game, shooting 0-of-5 from beyond the three-point line.

Not only that, but he also sprained his wrist in the final moments of the match, and his next match is doubtful.

Nash, on the other hand, played his MVP-caliber performance, scoring a luxury double-double of 32 points and 18 assists to lead the Suns to a 120-111 victory over the Rockets.

Tang Tian's worries became a reality, and the Rockets suffered a wave of three consecutive defeats after Christmas.

That concern has also been confirmed to come from the point guard group.

The arrival of Millsap made up for the Rockets' power forward problems, but the point guard group didn't change much.

Because more of the offense was handed over to Yao Ming to deal with, this point was not obvious in the previous games, but this wave of high-intensity games, coupled with the opponent's research, this weakness was completely revealed.

After finishing the game with the Suns, Tang Tian went to Dawson's private residence that night.

Dawson was soaking his feet, and it was Mrs. Dawson who opened the door.

After Tang Tian smiled at Mrs. Dawson, he walked straight towards Dawson.

Dawson guessed that Tang Tian was here because of the team's affairs, and after wiping his feet, he led Tang Tian into the study.

"Don, this losing streak of the team is expected, the opponent is very strong, and the schedule is tight, so don't worry too much." Dawson closed the door and continued.

"We need a deal."

Tang Tian's next words made Dawson stunned for a moment, he thought that Tang Tian was afraid of pressure from the management so he came to him in a hurry.
