Chapter 530: Meng Xu's Christmas
Meng Xu's Christmas was very pleasant, after that nearly ten minutes of hugging, Meng Xu and He Hui expressed their heartfelt feelings to each other, completely completed the emotional sublimation, and the two also upgraded from a "sister and brother relationship" to a couple relationship.
In fact, the people around Meng Xu have seen the relationship between Meng Xu and He Hui very thoroughly, especially Meng Xu and He Hui's mother, who always mentions their future plans on the phone, intentionally or unintentionally. But Meng Xu and He Hui are fans of the authorities, He Hui is used to being a sister, and out of the reserve of girls, He Hui has always suppressed this emotion in her heart. Regarding the scandal between Meng Xu and Jessica Alba earlier, He Hui's heart has always been very conflicted, if He Hui and Meng Xu were just a simple "sister and brother" relationship, He Hui would definitely be happy for Meng Xu, but after Meng Xu and Alba had an affair, He Hui not only couldn't make himself happy, but was also very lost and sad, that is, from that time on, He Hui found that his feelings for Meng Xu had changed. Originally, with Meng Xu's increasing success in the NBA and his growing influence, He Hui had decided to bury his feelings for Meng Xu in his heart and continue to be his agent, but the moment Meng Xu hugged He Hui just now, He Hui's heart was melted, maybe in He Hui's heart, he had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
As for Meng Xu, he is a fool who doesn't know anything about feelings, because the relationship between He and Meng is very good, and He Hui is a few years older than Meng Xu, since Meng Xu remembers, he has been following He Hui's buttocks, and the relationship between the two has not changed with age, but since Meng Xu arrived in the United States, Meng Xu and He Hui have become more and more intimate. Originally, Meng Xu thought that this was family affection, and He Hui was the sister who took care of herself, but as she grew older, Meng Xu understood that this was not just family affection, and Meng Xu himself did not want the relationship with He Hui to be a sister and brother forever.
Just when Meng Xu indulged in gentleness and spent the most important Christmas in his life with He Hui happily and sweetly, some people's Christmas was not so satisfactory, such as O'Neill, who is now hammering the locker with his fists in the locker room.
In this high-profile "Yao Shark" battle, it ended with the Heat losing to the away Rockets, 103-88, and the away Rockets defeated the Heat by 15 points. As the protagonist of today's game, O'Neal had no way to take Yao Ming in this game, not only allowing Yao Ming to score 27 points and 13 rebounds, but also allowing Yao Ming to swipe three blocks in a row at the critical moment in the third quarter.
Of course, just relying on Yao Ming's explosive seed, the Rockets still can't beat the Heat on the road, in today's game, the Rockets' backcourt double shot Steve Francis and Catino Mobley combined to score 47 points, and in the case of three points on 20, the visiting Rockets also beat the Heat, which is currently ranked second in the East and fourth in the league.
Although O'Neal also scored 22 points and 10 rebounds, today's game is the first time in recent seasons that O'Neal has been suppressed by another center in terms of data and on-court performance. Crazy pounding of the locker closet.
And in another high-profile battle, Chris Webber missed the direct confrontation with Nowitzki due to injury, the king who lacked the star of the house, lost to the Mavericks at home without suspense, Nowitzki scored 31 points, 14 rebounds, 5 assists of excellent data, Antoine Walker, who was traded from the Celtics, also performed very well today, only one assist was missing, and he was able to get the first triple-double in the Mavericks' career, which can be said to be very regrettable.
While the two games of the Rockets and the Heat, the Mavericks and the Kings were unsatisfactory, it was the Cavaliers and Magic, who were considered "rookies pecking each other" before the game, played wonderfully, this game was difficult to solve from the beginning, the difference between the two sides did not exceed 5 points from beginning to end, and the game was finally decided by overtime. In overtime, the shortcomings of the Cavaliers' lack of game experience were also exposed, and in the entire overtime, the Magic scored 16 points, while the Cavaliers scored only 2 points, and in the last two minutes of overtime, the Cavaliers players on the court basically collapsed.
James also played the best game of his career in this game, in the infighting with Ricky Davis, the Cavaliers decisively sent Ricky Davis away, completely established a new Cavaliers with James as the core, and after the end of the infighting, the Cavaliers' record has also improved again, in the 6 games that James led the team alone, the Cavaliers won three of them, although these victories are not enough for the Cavaliers to see the hope of the playoffs, but also let the Cavaliers' executives and fans see James's ability to lead the team. In this direct conversation with Maddy, James shot 14 of 28 from the field, 6 of 10 from three-point range, and scored 36 points, 8 rebounds, and 7 assists, but the fly in the ointment is that James made as many as 8 turnovers today, especially in overtime, James completely lost control of the situation on the court.
Perhaps it was the alignment with James that inspired Maddy's enthusiasm and fighting spirit, Maddy shot 15-of-29 today, 4-of-9 three-pointers, and scored 41 points, as well as 9 rebounds and 12 assists. In the crucial overtime, Maddy made 3 of 3 shots, scored 7 points, and also delivered 4 assists, which completely taught the new champion a lesson.
Although James and Maddy both cut explosive statistics in this game, but in today's game, the most outstanding is not James and Maddie, but the Cavaliers' second-round pick selected last season, Carlos Boozer, who shot 8 of 10 today, scored 19 points while grabbing 19 rebounds, and was only close to winning the double 20 data. And Carlos Boozer's outstanding performance this season has also begun to make people revisit this second-round pick last season.
On December 27, the Pacers, who ended their Christmas break, will play at home against their last two opponents in December, the first is the Atlanta Hawks, and now the Hawks are also mired in infighting, the team's two leading players, Sharif Abdul Rahim and Jason Terry, have repeatedly reported that there are rumors of feuds, and there are even media reports that the two are pointing their noses at each other in the locker room, and as for the management of the Hawks, they are now also vacillating between Raheem and Jason Terry. The indecision of the management has also directly led to the big decline in the Hawks' record, and now the Hawks have squeezed out the second to last position in the Cavaliers East and are attacking the Magic East penultimate position, such an Eagle, obviously unable to pose a threat to the Pacers.
The final score was 119-79, the Pacers slaughtered the Hawks by 40 points at home, and the two leading players of the Hawks, Sharif Abdul Raheem and Jason Terry, also performed miserably in this game, Raheem shot 3 of 10 from the field, only scored 7 points and 5 rebounds, and was completely blown up by Jermaine O'Neal. Jason Terry shot 2-of-12 from the field, scoring 5 points and 1 assist while committing 11 turnovers.
After the big win over the Hawks, the Pacers' winning streak came to 29, and on December 29, the Pacers took the stage to welcome their last opponent in December, the Miami Heat. After losing to the Rockets at home, the angry O'Neal took all his anger out on the Celtics, and on the day of the Pacers' home game against the Hawks, the Heat visited Boston, O'Neal shot 14-of-21 from the field, 12-of-18 from the free-throw line, scored 40 points, 23 rebounds, and delivered 6 blocks, and the Celtics' two interior linemen, Vin-Baker and Reeve LaFrentz, graduated with all six fouls.
"Pacers, here we come!" After most of the wins over the Celtics, O'Neal challenged Meng Xu and the Pacers in front of the reporters at the post-game press conference.
