Christmas is a very important holiday for Americans, because many Americans are Christians, so most Americans will have a holiday on December 25.

But the NBA, a professional basketball league, is unlikely to close down on this day as a business league that plays for everyone and earns money, especially after Stern took office, in order to make money, he specially came up with a gimmick - Christmas War.

This is a strange game, which is a very ordinary game in itself, and it has been made into a miasma by the league.

Although the league thinks very well, especially those arrangements, which are basically full of grievances, but in fact, it is different when it comes to that situation, this injury, that poor performance, whatever, will appear, which makes Stern's face sad.

But this year's Christmas War is none of the 76ers' business. There are only two games this year against the Trail Blazers and Pacers against the Magic, both of which were grievances from last year's playoffs. The 76ers aren't well-known right now (especially in preseason, when the 76ers almost traded the AI), so this year's task is easy, and after playing the Lakers, the 76ers can spend Christmas at home with their families. Luke is happier and can go straight back to Los Angeles for the holidays.

And now the 76ers have a very good record, only losing a few games, and ranking first in the East, so everyone's mentality is very open against the Lakers. And after the game against the Lakers, the 76ers also have a four-day vacation, which is very good news.

Seeing that everyone is very happy, Luke will also be infected by this atmosphere, Luke knows that Christmas is equivalent to the Spring Festival for Westerners, it is a family reunion, but the food is different.

It's not the first time he's back in Los Angeles to challenge the Lakers, and the 76ers have come to the Staples center of gravity twice, and this is the third time. The last time he played against the Lakers, Luke beat the Lakers, which made O'Neal very unconvinced.

"That guy is just a bit opportunistic, it's not a big deal. You say they're on a winning streak now? What's the big deal, they didn't meet strong teams, they met some weak teams, and that's how it turned out, even if they were unlucky when they met our Lakers, I would teach them a good lesson! O'Neill said.

Although Luke didn't say anything, the boss of the 76ers still spoke, "What is O'Neal talking about?" Last time we were lucky? Is our winning streak luck? Well, he'll come here once, do you have the ability? We're going to kick his ass! ”

Luke laughed when he heard this, could it be that O'Neal was stimulated before he made up his mind to win all the playoffs (although in the end, wasn't it also disrupted by AI, otherwise it was really a complete victory, but Allen also staged an imperial blockade)?

But I won't say much about it, because the date of the game is getting closer and closer.

On December 23, 2001, just one day before Christmas Eve, the 76ers came to Staples Arena in Los Angeles to challenge the Lakers.

When he practiced again, Luke saw Rick Fox, who had charmed many beautiful women (said to be ha) with his curly hair and bearded face, and was playing with the beautiful women on the sidelines. Now he has not divorced his wife Vanessa Williams, who was stripped of the title of Miss America for filming, but it can be seen that Rick Fox is a big carrot. He is now a substitute most of the time due to injury, but his life off the field is still in the wind.

But Luke's attention was no longer on him. Of course, not Kobe.

Everyone knows that in the game between the 76ers and the Lakers, Kobe Bryant will always be Allen's dish, who dares to move, does he want to die? Of course, in order to prevent the elusive shooting of the small fish Fisher, the unfamous super big heart, Larry still sent the 76ers' most skilled lineup, Snow went up to defend Fisher, Allen went up to face Kobe, Ben Wallace went up to deal with O'Neal, Tyrone was going to fight Robert Horry, and Luke was going to play a "game" with the small forward named Devin George.

This very strong dunk will be a convulsive man, of course, the number of convulsions is not much, but the mentality is quite stable, and he has made many key shots. But everything else is pretty average, especially defensively. If it weren't for the fact that the elder Fox couldn't bear it, Phil Jackson wouldn't have promoted him as a starting forward.

But Luke still has to pay attention, because you know that on offense, Allen can completely blow up Kobe, that's no objection, but on defense, Kobe can also completely blow up Allen, which is also no objection. And most of the time, Kobe Bryant has to take on the responsibility of organizing the team's offense, after all, whether it is the small fish Fisher or the old fish Fisher, except for the left-handed super-large arc outside projection, there is not much worth talking about The height of 1.85 meters limits him to the No. 1 position, compared to the excellent ball control and shooting ability, his passing skills can only be said to be unsatisfactory, and the organizational awareness is also lackluster. He can seriously implement the tactics assigned by the coach, control the ball through half the court, and then wait for his teammates to run at the top of the arc one by one, or hang the inside or hand the ball to the star swingman, to complete an attack, but you can never expect a flash of inspiration, his ball skills will always be as simple and down-to-earth as his appearance, even if he organizes a fast break, you will never see him come to a back pass or "nolookpass" ....... But it also fits the Lakers' tactics perfectly.

Kobe Bryant's basketball genes came from his dad Joe Bryant. He is an extremely talented player, although no one pays attention to him in the NBA, but he passed this talent to his son, fancy passing, there is nothing that Kobe Bryant can't do, and even does it better than Magic. Therefore, it is often seen that Kobe Bryant single-handedly enters the interior line and attracts all the firepower, and O'Neal flies to dunk violently, which is all Kobe's elusive pass.

And as we all know, Kobe Bryant, who is 1.98 meters (or even higher, after all, this is the data at the age of eighteen), is it not easy to pass the ball in front of Allen, who is only 1.83 meters? So even if Allen is unwilling, Luke still has to come to make up for it, after all, victory is still more important.

Okay, without further ado, the game was about to start, and Big Ben and O'Neill were already standing in the center circle, just waiting for the referee's whistle to blow, and the two jumped up to start plucking the ball.
