Chapter 282: Gifts

"Merry Christmas!" Anna's face followed at the back of the gift box.

Tang Shuai looked at Anna in surprise, but he didn't expect Anna to prepare a gift for her, and she looked a little overwhelmed.

"Take it!" Anna shoved the gift into his hand, then gave another gift box to Duffy, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Jaime, Merry Christmas!" ”

Duffy accepted the gift with a smile, and then took out a gift box from behind her ass and handed it to Anna: "Merry Christmas!" ”

Anna smiled and accepted the gift, then turned around and exchanged gifts for her father.

Although she was seriously ill, Anna's father prepared gifts for her.

Tang Shuai looked a little overwhelmed at this time, and said with some embarrassment: "Anna, I don't know, so I didn't prepare a gift......

"It's okay, just wait for you to make up for me next year!" Anna said with a mischievous smile.

"Uh...... Well, I must remember. Tang Shuai accepted the gift with some embarrassment.

"New Year's gifts must be opened in the morning." Duffy reminded.

Tang Shuai nodded and put away the gift first.

At that moment, there was a chorus of singing outside the door, which sounded like a group of people singing.

"It's coming! Here it comes! I didn't expect that we would be the first one this year! Anna looked extremely excited, and ran out of the living room.

"What is this?" Tang Shuai looked at Duffy suspiciously.

"The choir, it's time to report good news." Duffy said as he walked out.

"Good news?" Tang Shuai looked puzzled, but when he saw Duffy walking out, he also followed.

Arrived at the door. I saw Anna staring at the door, with a look of piety.

Tang Shuai looked at it at this time. I saw more than a dozen people standing outside wearing white and red coats, each holding a Bible in their hands. Christmas carols were being sung there.

"Christmas in the United States originated from the Christian Mass Festival, which was a celebration of the birth of Jesus, and later evolved into what it is now, but some etiquette will not change, and the good news of the choir is an essential part of the year, bathed in carols, and the new year will come true." Duffy explained.

Tang Shuai nodded knowingly, Christmas in the United States is obviously completely different from the domestic one, and these are all new things for him. Experiencing this, he satisfied his curiosity and increased his experience.

After the choir had sung Christmas carols, Anna followed them and invited them into the villa.

More than a dozen people entered, and the living room suddenly seemed a little crowded, but everyone's faces were filled with happy smiles, and it was a high honor for everyone, whether adults or children, to be selected for the choir.

The choir didn't stay long, just symbolically ate something. Then they rushed to the next one, and for them, this night was a busy day.

By the time the choir had left, it was already half past twelve, and Anna and Duffy helped Anna's father upstairs. Tang Shuai also returned to the room and prepared to sleep.

After returning to the room, he tried to call Su Mei again, but still refused. However, Su Mei may have been afraid that he would worry, so she went home.

Tang Shuai looked at the text message. In her heart, she was relieved, although Su Mei was angry. But not to the point of completely ignoring him.

Putting down the phone, tossing all night, he was already tired, and after putting down the phone, he fell asleep not long after.

When he got up the next day, Tang Shuai got up to wash his face and brush his teeth, and when he was about to go out, he suddenly saw the gift box at the end of the bed, and then remembered that the gift Anna gave him had not been opened.

He sat at the head of the bed, carefully opened the gift box, and then saw a rubber bracelet, he picked it up and looked at it, the bracelet was also printed with his name, it should be custom-made.

In addition to this bracelet, there was also a small note with words written on it, and he picked it up and looked at it.

"Lucky bracelet, you must wear it during the race, I have made a wish for it when Christmas Eve comes, it will definitely bless you." ―Anna.

After reading this sentence, Tang Shuai's whole person trembled inexplicably, originally he thought that the wish Anna made last night would be the same as him, wishing his father to get better as soon as possible, but he didn't expect it to be made for him in the end.

Beyond the wishes of family affection, he held this bracelet and suddenly felt a heavy feeling.

He hesitated, but finally put the bracelet on his hand and drove straight to the Staples Center.

Although there was Swift's concert last night, the arena has already been cleaned up, and there is no trace of the concert at all.

There are many differences between the Christmas game and the usual game, the biggest difference is naturally the game time, the general NBA game is in the evening, but the Christmas game is in the afternoon, and it is one after another, which allows the fans who stay in front of the TV to really enjoy the basketball feast.

When Tang Shuai arrived at the arena, the players had already arrived, although Kassel did not arrange pre-game training, but from the spontaneous actions of the players, it can be seen that facing the Cavaliers will be the most difficult stop for them in this period of time.

However, Tang Shuai did not participate in the training immediately, but went to the media room to record a small video.

The Christmas War, the NBA's oldest heavyweight game, was born in the 40s of the last century, because Christmas all walks of life in the United States have entered the rest time, so the attendance rate of the arena is basically 100%, coupled with the holiday atmosphere, the TV ratings of the game are also reaching new highs.

It is precisely because of his peculiarity that in the past eighty or ninety years, countless classic competitions have been born, and later they have also played a very key role in Stern's overseas expansion plans.

The most important thing in this is, of course, its promotional video.

In the promotional video, the superstars of the league appeared one by one, James and Curry all appeared, and the most attractive one was naturally Kobe Bryant, who is about to retire next season.

In the 2015-2016 season, because of Kobe's retirement statement, any important game day seems to attract more attention, and in the promotional video, even if he doesn't speak, he can attract the attention of countless fans around the world.

The small video that Tang Shuai wants to record is naturally part of it.

In fact, it is just a few words: follow the NBA, pay attention to the Christmas game, remember to support me, support the Clippers.

But it's just a few short sentences that can bring the NBA a sizable domestic ratings.

After recording the video, Tang Shuai and the team members spontaneously practiced before the game.

By the time this spontaneous training was over, the Christmas war was about to kick off. (To be continued.) )
