Chapter 105: ESPN Host!

(Ask for collection, ask for recommendation!) )

All those who are watching the Christmas War, all those who are following the Miami Heat are panicking! The 76ers actually forced the Heat, who had won 28 in a row, into overtime! Who would have thought before the game that this result would happen?

Now one of the giants of the Heat, Chris Bosh retired due to injury, after the Heat has one less attack point, whether they can win this game has really become unknown, James is happy to see it, he doesn't care about being preemptively ended by the 76ers to end the Heat's winning streak, for him, the Heat win one less game is one, and he is not sure that he will win against the Heat, but now Bosh is injured, if he can't play, it increases the hope of defeating the Heat.

Before the overtime, Xie Chen had been sitting on the bench and secretly blamed himself for deliberately throwing off, if it wasn't for the integration and playing this game well, the team would have won now! Let the team fall into this difficult situation, Xie Chen can't escape the blame, he must bear the responsibility of winning the next game, and he must defeat the 76ers in one go!

The 76ers are the bottom team in the East, with a better record than the Knicks, and it would be too humiliating if the winning streak in Zào team history was ended by such a weak team, and fans would not accept this fact, they would rather lose to James.

In the just-concluded Cavaliers vs. Timberwolves game, James was still in a brave state, scoring 30 points, 12 rebounds, and 9 assists.

"I've got to step up and win this win."

At the beginning of overtime, Xie Chen was full of firepower.

In the face of Michael's defense, a back turned and passed, directly to the basket, under the basket there was "Akagi Gangxian" Noel to defend the restricted area, but Xie Chen was not afraid at all, jumped head-on, and when dodging in the air, Xie Chen bumped into Noll's arm, and then after the referee blew the whistle, the body balance was still very good, and finally threw the basketball to the rebound before landing and hit the board.

2+1!

"Is our scoring champion back? Xie played a 2 plus 1 as soon as he came up, and he looked very energetic! ”

"That's right, as long as he can recover the courage of the previous games, the 76ers will definitely not be able to parry!"

Xie Chen's first goal reassured the fans, and in the next attack, Xie Chen still lived up to expectations.

"Chris Shet, three points!"

"Oh my God, another three!"

"Oh my god, the Heat are already 7 points ahead!"

Leading by 7 points in overtime is definitely something to cheer about, every point in overtime is crucial, and the 76ers actually watched Xie Chen pull the score away again and again.

The 76ers quickly adopted a wrap-and-wrap defense against Xie Chen, and Xie Chen began to perform assists, sending wonderful balls to his teammates again and again, and the Heat finally defeated the 76ers in overtime, almost giving the opponent a chance to breathe.

29 wins in a row! The Heat are on a 29-game winning streak!

In the next game, they will face the most terrifying opponent in the league at home, this year's favorite, the Cleveland Cavaliers led by James, Irving and Love!

"It's coming, the day has finally come." After watching the Heat's game against the 76ers, James left the locker room alone and silently, without even giving an interview to the media.

In two days it will be Christmas, which is the most important holiday in the West, just like the Chinese New Year, and in the same way, in the most important festival, the NBA will arrange the most heavyweight games, which is what everyone calls the "Christmas War"!

Since the beginning of the 40th year of the last century, the NBA has a tradition of launching heavyweight games on Christmas Eve, which was quite advanced at the time, and after the popularity of television broadcasting, watching the NBA live broadcast on Christmas Eve has become a tradition for Americans, even in the era of rapid development of the Internet, everyone is quite concerned about the Christmas War.

Since the Christmas War has such a high degree of attention and such high ratings, it should be an opportunity for stars to show their performance and a stage for performances, and no one wants to miss out on letting everyone realize themselves at this time, among them, Maddie, who has retired from the NBA, is one of them.

Maddie's performance in the national live broadcast game is definitely the first person, usually sleepy-eyed posture on the field as if asleep, relying on talent to take a leisurely stroll can also get a 20+, but when it comes to the national live broadcast, when it comes to the Christmas war such a heavy dà occasion, Maddie is like a different person, especially hard.

Take a look at Maddie's Christmas battle numbers, 43 points and 9 rebounds in 2000, 46 points and 6 rebounds in 2002, 41 points and 8 rebounds in 2003, Maddie in her peak met the Christmas battle 40 plus!

In this regard, Wade is not far behind, in 2006 the Heat played against Kobe's Lakers, O'Neal was absent, Wade used 40 points, 11 assists, 4 steals and 4 blocks to interpret the definition of a superstar, while Kobe Bryant only scored 16 points.

After careful research, you will find that the matchups between these teams in the NBA on Christmas Eve are specially arranged by the league, especially the two teams with related origins, which are most likely to be arranged to play together, such as O'Neal's Heat and Kobe's Lakers at that time, such as the current Heat and Cavaliers.

James left the Heat and switched to the Cavaliers, the NBA deliberately scheduled the first meeting between the two teams in the regular season on Christmas Eve, they wanted to see how the former good brothers fought on the court, and they never expected that there would be a best rookie in the Heat, and it was even possible to challenge James's first position in the future! This can make the NBA executives happy, and the attraction of the James vs Xie Chen duel is even far better than the James vs Wade Bosh brother duel!

Heat vs Cavaliers has become the most watched game in the NBA. Basketball lovers around the world are talking about anticipation.

T.NT。

Charles Barkley said excitedly: "Listen, I bet that the game between the Heat and the Cavaliers will be the most exciting Christmas battle in history!" We remember Kobe's wonderful matchup in the Christmas game again after losing to the Celtics in the Finals, we also remember the showdown between Yao Ming and Shaq, the showdown between Jordan and Ewing, and the showdown between LeBron and Kobe Bryant, but the next one is definitely the most intense game. ”

Kenny Smith laughed, "How much money did Xiao Hua give you, and you want to work so hard to make a gimmick for this game?" Hahaha. ”

Barkley said with a stern face: "We all know that the teams in the Christmas game are generally teams with origins, LeBron won two championships in the Heat, and then left the Heat to return to the Cavaliers and play against his brother again, which made the significance of this game unprecedented, but the emergence of Chris Shea undoubtedly made the meaning of this game even more significant." Guys, who is Xie? He is the current scoring champion, rookie of the year, top three in the MVP list, and has led the team to 29 consecutive wins! It's all a historical-level table! That said, there's a good chance that Xie will be the first person in the league in the future, oh God, the first person in the NBA, and that alone is appealing enough, isn't it? ”

"I totally agree with Charles, even though I've been to the Christmas War as well." O'Neal continued: "The significance of this game is too heavy, there is a brotherhood between LeBron and Wade, a matchup between LeBron and Xie Chen, a matchup between the current first person and the first person in the future, a new record for the Heat's winning streak, and a new record for the second consecutive win in history, I want the person who arranges this matchup to retire with honor now." ”

The host smiled: "Since this game is an unprecedented Christmas battle, who do you think will win the Heat or the Cavaliers, or LeBron and Chris Shet?" ”

Kenny Smith said: "LeBron, there is no doubt about it, don't forget, LeBron has superstars like Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love next to him!" The Cavaliers' configuration is not lost to the Heat at all, and LeBron's performance in recent games can be called terrifying! When encountering the state of heat, it must be more courageous! ”

Charles Barkley disagreed: "I choose Xie, that's right, this time I will never choose someone else, Xie is a great rookie, and he will be a great star in the future, he has a lot of unique skills that have not yet been used, and this time, he will show his strongest self in front of LeBron!" ”

O'Neal's answer was astonishing: "LeBron and Hsieh's cousins will definitely be superstar-calib, there's no doubt about that, but I think D-WADE will be the protagonist in this game, and he will explode and lead the Heat to a 30th straight victory." ”

……

Xie Chen watched these old guys talk about himself at home, chuckled, he didn't expect Barkley to be on his side, but O'Neal was right, Wade is likely to break out, but unfortunately, Chris Bosh, another big man on the team, can't respond.

Xie Chen thought that Bosh was just twisted a little, and it was not a big deal, there were still two days left in the game, enough for Bosh to recover, and the team urgently needed him to complete the winning streak, but Bosh said categorically that he could not participate in the next game just after the game with the 76ers, which made the Heat players a little disheartened.

Even without Bosh, Xie Chen had to do his best to win the game.

Xie Chen switched the channel to ESPN, he felt that at this time, ESPN should also be talking about the Christmas battle between the Heat and the Cavaliers, Xie Chen did guess correctly, ESPN was indeed talking about the Heat and the Cavaliers, talking about Xie Chen, talking about LeBron and Wade, but what Xie Chen didn't guess was that the host who talked about these turned out to be the closest person Xie Chen used to be, Katie.

Katie sat dignified on the hosting stage in a white professional suit, showing her noble temperament, Xie Chen never knew that Katie would be so attractive as a sports TV anchor.

It's Katie's first time hosting ESPN, but she's not nervous at all, even though she doesn't know much about basketball. The topic of discussion in the program team today is, can Xie Chen replace James as the first person in the league in the future? Stephen A. Smith and Skip Bayless are still arranged.

However, before the two began to foam at each other, Katie answered this question herself: "Audience friends, good evening, welcome to ESPN, FIRSTTAKE, I am the new host of the show, KATTY B, today's topic is Chris Xie, please allow me to call his Chinese name, Xie Chen, can you replace LeBron James as the first person in the league, before the two start, I want to say, Xie Chen is not the first person in the league now?" ”
