Christmas has always been a day for Yiyang to reunite with family and friends. It was also last Christmas that gave Yiyang the idea of marrying Vignari home. No matter how hard life is, Christmas Day is often beautiful for Yiyang.

But working on Christmas Day, this is the first time in Yiyang's career. In fact, it means that Yiyang and his Dallas Mavericks have truly become the best team in the league. Because only a team with both strength and commercial value is eligible to play the Christmas war.

It's clear that the current Mavericks fit that bill very well. They're the defending champions, and they have superstars like Yiyang, Dirk and Wade, who have just broken a 130-year-old record. They are the sweethearts of the entire alliance and the focus of the whole world.

There is no reason for such a team to fail in the Christmas game. No one can refuse, after eating Christmas dinner with the family, watching a Maverick and Knight battle such a comfortable life.

Speaking of the Mavericks and Cavaliers, there is actually no entanglement between the two teams. One in the east and one in the west, and they won't meet each other in the playoffs. If you want to say that the only entanglement is that Owen once killed the calf on Yiyang's head, but that is already an old thing, except for the "stingy" Yiyang, it is estimated that few people still remember.

But when James joined the Cavaliers, everything was different. The Cavaliers went from being a belly team to a championship alternate in an instant, and the Mavericks and Cavaliers became the two biggest contenders for the O'Brien Cup.

It can even be said that if it weren't for Yiyang, James would not have been forced to make a decision 2.0. This regiment, James, he is specially held to deal with Yiyang.

The entanglements between the two sides on and off the field made this game extremely hot before the start of the game. The scolding of fans on both sides on the Internet, the tracking reports of the media and the expensive tickets that have long been sold out undoubtedly do not highlight the popularity of this game.

Yiyang drove down the street and found that the advertisements for the knight and the calf battle were all over the city, even more than the Christmas trees on the street. In the minds of Dallas fans, the game is even important for Christmas.

Yiyang shook his head, it seems that today is destined to be a hard night.

Early in the morning, it was still deserted around the U.S. Airlines Center Arena. But in a few hours, it'll be so crowded that you can't even drive in.

Not long after Yiyang arrived, Wade also walked into the locker room. He looked serious and unsmiling, which was not quite the same as Wade in his usual life.

You don't have to ask to know how much Wade wants to win this game. Although he and James are still brothers, that doesn't mean Wade doesn't want to prove himself in front of James.

James left Miami in large part because of Wade's poor performance during the Finals, which made him no longer have any hope of winning the championship. So today, what Wade has to do is to show the best in himself and let James know that leaving Miami is the stupidest decision he has ever made in his life!

"Are you ready?" Wade sat down in front of his locker and waited for the team doctor to put braces on his legs.

After two consecutive games of rotation, Wade has long had itchy hands.

"I was ready before I went to bed yesterday, Dwayne." Yiyang walked up to Wade and stretched out his fist. "Let's do it!"

When Yiyang saw the Cleveland Knights again, their spirits were very different from what they had been at the beginning. I have to admit that James is a great and amazing player. His arrival can turn a bullied team directly into a championship-level team. In this alliance, he may be the only one who has such magic.

If you don't believe me, look at Anthony. After he went to the Knicks, the Knicks should be rotten or rotten. Some would say that James made the Cavaliers rise because he had Irving and Love by his side. , Stoudemire and Billups are not fuel-efficient lamps either.

Therefore, not everyone is like James, who can transform a team with his own strength.

After Lefu came out, he deliberately glanced at the Mavericks' half. Yesterday, that video of him was wildly reposted on the Internet. I believe that by now, people all over the world who are following this game have seen that video.

Love does think the Mavericks aren't as strong as they thought they were, and Wade hasn't been as tough this season as people think. As for Yiyang, Owen will fight him to the end. What's more, they still have that omnipotent LeBron?

Lefu smiled, then picked up the basketball and began to warm up.

Like Bosh, after joining the Cavaliers with James, Love's stats dropped significantly. Last season with the Timberwolves, Love averaged 26 points and 12 rebounds per game, which is undoubtedly a top-tier interior statistic.

But so far this year, Love has averaged only 16 points and nine rebounds per game. The huge gap between the two sets of data is visible to the naked eye, and it looks like LeFou's down a notch.

In fact, it's not because Love has weakened, it's because his role in the team has changed. Last season with the Timberwolves, he was the No. 1 point of attack. But with the Cavaliers, Love is second to James and Irving.

He averaged 18.4 shots per game last season, but he can only take 12.7 shots this season, which is the real reason for the decline in Lefou's stats.

He is still very strong, so Lefu does have the capital of self-confidence.

The Cavaliers' Big Three looks a lot stronger than their record.

So don't look at Love as a brush in the Timberwolves, don't look at Irving's three first-round picks in the four years of the Cavaliers, but James no longer needs to compromise these two juniors like he did with Wade, especially after he has fully evolved from an all-around attacker to a team engine, he can functionalize everyone in his system.

Lefu lost weight and opened up more space, which is what Bosh did back then. Irving's singles offensive level is stronger than that of the aging Wade, and he has a lot more role in pulling space, which is more suitable for James than Wade. What's even more rare is that when James is getting older and needs to play health basketball, Irving has already begun to learn how to be an engine.

People say the Cavaliers' 17-10 record is too bad, but Yiyang knows it well. 17-10 is not a reflection of the Cavaliers' true strength at all!

As the warm-up went deeper and deeper, Yiyang became more and more full of expectations for this game. This year's Cavaliers are no weaker than the Miami Heat!

Before the start of the game, ESPN's front-line reporters also deliberately found Yiyang to do a pre-game interview. The content of the interview is also as Yiyang expected, and it is related to Lefou.

"What do you think of the provocative video posted by the Cleveland Cavaliers' official Twitter last night?"

"You call that provocation? I call that self-soothing. If the Cavaliers want to win, just take it. If they can get it. Yiyang smiled, but every word was full of murderous energy.

The game is about to begin, and there is nothing to be humble about now. Cowboy and knight, only one will survive to the end.

Before the game, Wade and James hugged each other on the sidelines. The behavior of the two of them naturally attracted the lens of all the cameras in the audience.

Half a year ago, the two were still working side by side for the championship. But now, one is wearing a Dallas Mavericks jersey and the other is wearing a Cleveland Cavaliers jersey, standing against each other. People can't help but sigh that creation makes people.

"I think you can understand my decision, Dwayne."

"I certainly understand, it's your career and you can decide anything. But then again, how many years have we not been rivals? Wade said, clenching his fists.

"Hmph, I'll let you taste failure again today."

"Don't rejoice too soon, LeBron."

With that, the two turned to leave. From now until the end of the game, they are no longer brothers, but bitter enemies.

Beat James? It had been a long, long time since Wade had thought like this.

"Merry Christmas, dear audience, I'm sure you've finished your fabulous dinner with your family. Then it's time to move out of today's main course! The focus of the Christmas game, the Cleveland Cavaliers' away game against the Dallas Mavericks, has begun! ”

As soon as Barkley finished speaking, Gobert snatched the basketball from Lefou's hand. Like the Heat, the Cavaliers moved the No. 4 position to the center position, but instead of replacing the No. 4 position with a small forward like Spoelstra, the Cavaliers used the No. 4 pick in 2011. Thompson plays power forward.

In this way, the Cavaliers are both offensive and defensive. The Heat's huge disadvantage on the inside last season has not been forgotten.

Yiyang's first offense, Irving's defense, like most young point guards, didn't stand up to scrutiny. But James is ready to move, and this guy is ready to come over at any time to make up for Yiyang.

Yiyang looked at the inside line again, Lefou's weak frame protection ability will be an opportunity that the Mavericks can take advantage of!

Without a pick-and-roll, Yiyang passed the ball to Iguodala, a strong forward with a very high basketball IQ who was the Mavericks' second playmaking point on the court besides Yiyang. When Yiyang needs it, he can hand over the ball to him at any time to organize.

Subsequently, Yiyang showed his superb off-ball running skills in front of Owen. Circumventing cover, running back, stopping and starting quickly, Yiyang is proficient in everything.

By the time Yiyang got back into the bottom right corner and picked up Iguodala's pass, Owen had already been thrown two positions away by Yiyang. And because Iguodala is holding the ball, it is impossible for James to help defend at all, otherwise Iguodala will immediately get the opportunity to attack.

James gritted his teeth, Wade's new teammate is really difficult!

After receiving the basketball, Yiyang held the ball with both hands and lifted it above his head.

Owen made a jump-up block, and he didn't want to be shot by Yiyang as soon as he opened the game.

Irving succeeded, and he didn't let Yiyang hit a three-point shot. Because Yiyang didn't plan to shoot three points at all, after flying Owen, Yiyang immediately started to hit the inside!

"Supplement, supplement!" James yelled as he dropped Iguodala and ran wildly into the box. Lefou's arms were outstretched, ready to protect the basket.

Yiyang quickly entered, with Lefu blocking in front and James chasing on the side. But when he broke through along the baseline and was about to hit the basket, he suddenly dribbled behind and made a sharp stop. This change in rhythm caught both James and Love off guard.

James, who was about to fight to jump up the block, rushed over his head and ran out of the bottom line, and Lefou's tense nerves were also flashed.

After playing with the two, Yiyang accelerated again. Under Lefou's slow footsteps, he easily slipped on the baseline and made a rebound.

"The beautiful goal also gave us a stunning visual experience as soon as it came up. The moment he broke through the emergency stop and back brake, it was a stroke of genius! Barkley applauded, Yiyang is now more and more freewheeling on the offensive end.

James and Love glanced at each other, from the breakthrough to the end of the offense, Yiyang only used one attack to make the three giants of the Cavaliers taste great!

Yiyang quickly retreated and high-fived Wade. Whether the Cavaliers can win or not is not for you Kevin. Lefou's decision.

As soon as it opened, Yiyang gave Lefu a strong response!

Soon, though, the Cavaliers regrouped and stormed the half. James, Owen and Love all frowned!

Yiyang licked his lips, it seems that today, LeBron will not play "health basketball".

This guy is going to play really!
