The 2008-2009 season of the Christmas War League has a total of four matchups, New Orleans Hornets vs. Orlando Magic, Phoenix Suns vs. San Antonio Spurs, Los Angeles Clippers vs. Boston Celtics, and Cleveland Cavaliers vs. Los Angeles Clippers.

The Cleveland Quickfinance Center was a little more lively than usual, and the Christmas atmosphere filled every corner of the arena, and after the warm-up workout, LeBron James, as the owner of the Cavaliers, wore a training uniform to hand out Christmas gifts to the audience.

"This isn't Los Angeles, this isn't Staples, so ......" Mike Dunleavy lengthened his voice, looked at his players with curious eyes, and paused to continue, "So you can't enjoy a nice Christmas with your family today, but you can give yourself and them a nice gift, a nice gift to the Clevelands, and of course they want to give this gift to you." Defeat them, give yourself the victory and give them the defeat! No one wants to have a bad Christmas Eve, you don't want and I don't, play at the level we were training in, come on! Mike Dunleavy shook his fist at everyone.

Everyone in the Clippers team is waiting in the player tunnel to play, Lin Fei is standing in front of Tyson Chandler against the Cavaliers today, his play is very critical, although the Cavaliers are James' team alone, but the big Z and the young player Hickson on the inside will cause a lot of trouble, if the inside line can't contain the opponent, the defensive pressure on the outside line will be greater, "Lin, today LeBron said that he will give you a good look, are you ready?" Tyson Chandler bumped Lin Fei with his shoulder and said.

"Tyson, he's better over my muscles, I think he'll be cleaned up by me!" Artest in front of him interjected and said, and deliberately lifted his training clothes to reveal his strong muscles......

Lin Fei didn't speak, but waited quietly, he kept silent in the war of words before the game, but it didn't mean that he didn't have ideas, "Come on!" In the huge boos created by the Clevelanders, the Clippers players ran out one by one, and compared to the Clippers' appearance, the Cavaliers' momentum was undoubtedly the difference between heaven and earth.

Although Lin Fei was already familiar with the boos given to him by the away fans, the boos from the audience were still so harsh.

"This is the Imperial Court, the Imperial Court, and now it's the NBA's 2008-2009 Christmas game against the Los Angeles Clippers at home against the Cleveland Cavaliers." Yu Jia in front of the TV camera.

"Yes, Mr. Yu said yes, this is an eye-catching Christmas battle, Lin Fei vs. James is full of highlights, we got the starting lineup list of both sides, today's starting center of the Cavaliers is Big Z Ilgoskas, Ben Wallace sat on the bench, this is a reasonable arrangement, after all, Ben Wallace has no offensive ability, Brown's arrangement is very reasonable, and the forward position is the teenager JJ Hickson, this teenager is full of impact and good physical fitness, Under James's care, the successful ascension is not a small test for Wilson Chandler, the small forward position is no suspense is LeBron James, and he needs to face a lot of defensive pressure today, Artest's defensive ability has already been recognized, the position of the scoring guard Delonte West but this height to defend Lin Fei feels very choked, it is estimated that James will shoot in person, the organization guard is Mo Williams, the Clippers are still the old lineup inside double Chandler partner, The small forward is Artest scoring guard Lin Fei and organized guard Andre Miller, and the good game is about to begin. Zhang Li said with a smile.

Tyson Chandler and Big Z stood in the middle circle of the court, ready to play the jump ball.

This game Mike Brown is also very important, not only because this game is a high-profile Christmas battle and the matchup between the league's first and second place, but also the battlefield of this season's best coach, almost everyone's media predict that the best coach of the season will be produced between him and Mike Dunleavy, and the two most direct encounters in a season have become extremely important in Brown's eyes, and the eyes glanced at Mike Dunleavy standing calmly in front of the Clippers bench.

The referee of this focus battle is the bald referee Crawford, one of the five famous whistles in the NBA, Crawford scanned the positions of the players on both sides, held the whistle with his left hand, supported the ball with his right hand, and the whistle came out, Tyson Chandler was like a rocket in front of the Lithuanian, and the ball was dialed to Andre Miller with an absolute advantage.

The first game of the 2008-2009 Christmas season has officially begun.

Andre Miller's strong body pushed Mo Bu Pass directly to the outside of the three-point line, not rushing to attack but waiting for his teammates to slowly settle down.

Steady and steady This is one of Mike Dunleavy's requirements, James's eyes revealed unfriendliness, staring at Lin Fei like a wolf, he has to solve all disputes before the game on the court, and he wants to tell everyone on the court that Lin Fei is a joke.

Miller looked at Lin Fei, who had a vacant space outside the three-point line, and passed the ball directly, Lin Fei just caught the ball and James pounced in front of him, and his aggressive eyes made Lin Fei feel like James's prey.

"The opening is the duel that everyone is looking forward to, James Card Shield VS Lin Fei Card Spear!" Zhang Reasonable looked forward to it.

"Lin Fei's offensive methods have improved this season, James's defense with his physical fitness is a huge test for Lin Fei, if Lin Fei successfully breaks through James's defense, it will definitely have a huge effect on Lin Fei's self-confidence." Yu Jia took Zhang Li's words and said.

Lin Fei flicked his wrist, and the basketball fell behind his back to avoid James's harassment, "Your dribbling level has improved a lot, not bad!" ”

James picked the corners of his mouth and said, as if he was an elder commenting on the performance of Lin Fei's junior.

"Really? You have a good eye! Lin Fei said with a smile, the smoothness of his tone surprised James, "This kid has changed?" I didn't fight back before the game, and now the attitude is so good? ”

"You haven't learned how to go to the three-step layup yet? Or will it only be an N-step layup? Lin Fei's words directly choked James.

"Boy, don't be too arrogant!" James gritted his teeth and said word by word.

Lin Fei's threatening movements protected the ball in his waist and abdomen, and he looked at James from top to bottom with a playful smile on the corner of his mouth, and James faintly felt that Lin Fei's next action was coming.

The footsteps couldn't help but push forward a little, watching the two people face off outside the three-point line, and the Cleveland audience cheered for James with their own shouts.

Lin Fei's right foot quickly poked forward, James glanced at Lin Fei's movements with disdain, and then immediately made a simple move in his footsteps, Lin Fei immediately retracted his right foot and leaned into James's left side again, and his upper body swayed to James's left side, and his shoulders showed James a sway full of temptation.

James hesitated in the face of Lin Fei's movements, a little uncertain, before the game he combined the scouting report and Lin Fei's game video to prepare, Lin Fei's breakthrough did not foreshadow the surname, after this hesitation, James pressed up again.

James pressed upward, but his hesitation gave Lin a chance, the basketball passed under the crotch, the left foot was the axis, the right hand pulled and directly turned around and cut in from James's right side, but at this time James's strong body showed an innate advantage on the defensive end.

When Lin Fei turned around, the bodies of the two collided, Lin Fei's dribbling rhythm was broken, and the cutting speed of the whole person was also affected. And James seized this opportunity to slide back and move sideways to block Lin Fei again, and the quick loan center sent a huge cheer for their pride Jade.

At this moment, a certain wave of live broadcast room also exploded because of the failure of this attack and defense of Lin Fei, and one by one the online games spoke passionately.

I love the NBA: "It seems that Lin Fei is still not as good as James, it is estimated that Lin Fei will be very depressed today!" ”

Favorite little emperor: "Long live my emperor!" Wood dogs are garbage! ”

Super Lin Invincible: "Orangutans are shit luck, Lin Fei was able to beat the orangutans last year, and today is definitely okay, move a small bench and sit and wait for Lin Invincible!" ”

The madman Lin loves me: "My Lin is unmatched, this is just the beginning!" ”

…… Lin Fei himself didn't expect such a situation to happen, which made many Lin Fei fans a little disappointed, originally they were looking forward to Lin Fei's successful breakthrough score, but as a result, he did a useless effort to demonstrate James's defensive strength.

"Boy, your offense is really strong, you can almost throw me away and score, just a little bit!" James's eyes matched his tone, and the provocative ridicule between his words was extremely obvious, and at this time, the Clippers' twenty-four seconds of offensive time had entered the last eight seconds.

Lin Fei smiled coldly and did not fight back at James, but first stabilized his rhythm, and did not seem to be in a hurry about the passage of offensive time, as if he didn't know that the twenty-four seconds of offensive time was coming, Lin Fei's teammates couldn't help but get anxious.

James's face was confident, and his whole chest was close to Lin Fei, combined with his outstretched arms, it seemed that Lin Fei had only the only choice - passing.

Knowing that there are tigers in the mountains and bias towards Tiger Mountain, this is Lin Fei's irrationality, but what Americans like most is individualism, always putting "me" first rather than Chinese, and Lin Fei grew up in the United States, and his surname on the court is also paranoid, so at this time he never took passing to heart.

The left foot retreated, the short time difference allowed him to gain valuable space, and just when James pressed up again, Lin Fei kicked the ground with his right foot, and the whole person sprinted to the right side of James, without the slightest feint.

And James reacted quickly, a horizontal move and then retreated, Lin Fei's first attack failure gave him the experience of defending Lin Fei, so he decided to use his chest to disrupt Lin Fei's attack again, and then Lin Fei would definitely force a shot twenty-four seconds ago and then give Lin Fei a hot pot with a split head and a face, James thought.

When he thought of doing it, he immediately straightened his chest and went up to block it.

Bang!

"Coming back?" Lin Fei looked at James's posture and knew what James was going to do, and immediately exerted his strength, and at this time, the bodies of the two people directly collided.

"It's so powerful!" James regretted it, he didn't use much strength just now, but Lin Fei's strength rebounded to surprise him, and the whole person's center of gravity shifted to the other side under the reaction, and Lin Fei did the same.

Lin Fei held his left hand on the ground slightly, stabilized his body, and threw the ball out before Hickson pounced on him.

Basketball didn't make James's wish come true, and the sound of basketball going into the net made James slightly disappointed.

Lin Fei didn't have any celebration or any provocation, and ran directly to the backcourt, which surprised James again, he thought that Lin Fei would come to him and sarcastically mock his defense, but there was nothing, looking at Lin Fei's forward background, James followed.

Mo Williams dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, James took over the ball, Williams misses the small city of Milwaukee very much, although in the Cavaliers his status has improved and become a second-in-command, the statistics have become excellent, but he himself is very dissatisfied, he likes the opportunity to decide to shoot, he likes to imagine playing freely, but in Cleveland he always needs to consider James's feelings, James is interested, he can only wait for James to play well and then relive the Milwaukee time.

As soon as James caught the ball, the cheers at the quick loan center rose, and they were expecting to see the scene where James taught Lin Fei a lesson.

But Artest obviously won't let them get their wish, the strength of the muscles is no less than James, and it is also a perverted existence in the small forward position, but Artest's body bounces a little faster, and James failed to find a good offensive opportunity in the face of Artest's marking, and looked inside.

His younger brother J.J. Hickson immediately understood and pulled to the top of the position.

Covering is one of the four most basic offenses on the court, and all complex offenses evolve from the four most basic offenses.

Lin Fei, who was guarding West on the side, watched Hickson pull up and put his attention on James's side, and when James accelerated and used Hixon to block and get rid of Artest, Lin Fei immediately abandoned West and rushed to James.

James' speed is completely disproportionate to his size, and he is very agile and rushes to the inside, Lin Fei's speed becomes weak in the crowded inside line and the short distance of the field at this moment, and he can only watch James successfully enter the free throw area.

(Today I said that there are about 10,000, and there are still 4,000 left, and I will give it to you tomorrow!) Facing Wilson Chandler, James jumped high in front of Chandler without any hesitation, had a small dodge in the air, and pressed the ball into the basket amid the cheers of more than 20,000 people in the audience, leveling the score between the two sides.

Although it was only the opening and each completed an attack, the excitement had already made all the fans excited.

Letting go of his hand and landing on the ground, James, who was roaring angrily with a hammer chest, did not forget to project a demonstrative look at Lin Fei.

It's a pity that Lin Fei didn't give James a chance, and when James's eyes were transparent, he turned around and walked to the backcourt.
