343. Christmas Eve is not peacefulThe outside world is clamoring for the All-Star thing, and the Bobcats are leaving Charlotte for their trip to Toronto, where the Raptors will be waiting for them in that cold city.

The Raptors have improved this season, with a 14-10 record so far, ranking first in the Atlantic Division.

Of course, there are really no strong teams in the Atlantic Division, and the New York Knicks made the playoffs last season, but this season they are starting to degenerate, and Marbury is taking the tough guys of New York to linger in the bright lights and have fun. The 76ers led by AI have a bad record, he really doesn't have a strong helper around him, just relying on his small man to charge into battle, he can afford to last for a while, but how can he hold up for a lifetime? The New Jersey Nets lost Kenyon after losing Kenyon. After Martin, with Kidd's injury, the team also sank completely. As for the Boston Celtics, Pierce's story is not easy either.

King Carter + growing Bosh + Okafor, this trio set off a bloody storm in the Atlantic, and it was a big idea to reach the finals for a while.

Of course, the Raptors are not going to be in a good mood, as the team sees hope in the interior combination of Bosh and Okafor, and now the team has two opinions. One is to let Carter lead these two high-quality insiders to fight together to see what they can spell out; The second is to trade Carter to completely restructure the team, slump for two or three years, and then build a super team like the Spurs.

Bosh and Okafor couldn't satisfy Carter, and the demigod demanded a talented point guard, such as Kidd. The Raptors have also made efforts to do so, bringing in street ball king Alston from Miami in the summer, but Carter is not interested in street ball king. Kidd's Nets are also interested in Carter, but they don't have the chips to satisfy the Raptors: the Raptors want the Nets' first-round pick for the next three years!

In the NBA, the most hated thing for any team is to go to Toronto, which is a red tape, and the cold climate in that city is the least favorite for shirtless players. Canadians prefer ice hockey and don't know much about basketball, and those who go to the scene to watch the game are also lively, and they are not even willing to give out cheers and cheers.

However, one good thing is that Christmas in Toronto is particularly solemn, and in this snowy city, Christmas is the most important holiday, and the atmosphere is very good. Almost every year at this time, Toronto is covered in snow, with the occasional small snowflake, which is simply beautiful.

The Bobcats' special plane landed on the Pearson International Machine Gun in Toronto, and Hua Ben and others stepped off the plane and saw the overwhelming Christmas posters in the airport, and the green Christmas trees on both sides of the passenger passage were hung with countless colorful lights, flashing and flashing like stars falling into the world.

Airport security staff donned Santa Claus makeup, and every child was given a Santa hat. The Bobcats' caddies were each gifted with a Santa hat and a cheerful red sock or Santa Claus carving, in exchange for an autographed photo of the player.

The Christmas tree standing in the square of the Air Canada Center, the home of the Raptors, is a spruce, at least seven or eight meters high, draped in bright lights from top to bottom, and the lights are arranged to look like players, beautiful and extremely realistic.

Jordan gave the players a half-day off as usual, and Huaben took his camera and shuttled through the streets of this fairytale city with Eva and Cheryl, leaving a photo.

"I don't know when I can go to Copenhagen, Denmark, where Christmas is so beautiful that I really want to visit Santa's birthplace." Cheryl asked expectantly.

The city of Odense on the Danish island of Funen is the hometown of Hans Christian Andersen, but the world-famous fairy tales were written by Hans Christian Andersen in Copenhagen, and it is in this city that Hans Christian Andersen has created immortal fairy tales one after another.

Hans Christian Andersen was inspired by the Danish cultural theme of the time, "Fighting for the Future Generation", and published a collection of novels at the time, "Stories for Children". Moreover, in the following years, every fairy tale novel was published on Christmas Day, and it was a Danish trend to give Hans Christian Andersen's novel as a Christmas gift to children, and Andersen fulfilled his dream, and his contribution to children is irreplaceable by anyone in the world!

The legend of Santa Claus was not born in Denmark, but it was spread all over the world, including Asia, through the hands of Hans Christian Andersen.

"You can go this year, it's okay right now, anyway." Hua Ben said nonchalantly.

Cheryl glanced at Eva and didn't speak, the latter smiled slightly, and said: "Christmas, it's better to be with relatives and friends, go to Copenhagen alone, even if you can see the most beautiful scenery, what's the comfort?" ”

Hua Ben smiled and didn't speak, Eva's words were meaningful.

The next day is Christmas, and tomorrow night there will be a Christmas fight, but thanks to the Lynx being the recruit egg, they are not arranged, so Hua could have had a perfect Christmas without having to go to work on Christmas night like Kobe Bryant and O'Neal.

Before Christmas, everyone was on holiday, so there were still a lot of fans who came to watch the game on the evening of the 24th, and the Air Canada Center Arena was rarely overcrowded.

The Raptors gave each fan a Santa hat, so when Hua Ben and others entered, they saw that the country was red. The Bobcats' away jersey is orange and more joyful, I don't know if it's for this reason, the players received a lot of applause when they entered.

Eva and Cheryl sat behind the bench in Santa hats, both of them were delicate beauties, and they looked even more delicate and charming with red Santa hats. Although the men in Canada are not as crazy and romantic as the French, they are still crazy to see Eva and Cheryl, and the business cards and bags they receive can't fit in, and they are all contact information left by local handsome guys.

Iguodala also wore a Santa hat to enter, and he received applause and cheers from the Bobcats, who were second only to Huaben, which made him triumphant for a while: "You can only make achievements if you are oriented to the market, and my university is not for nothing." ”

Then the Raptors players also entered, and the cheers from the fans were not enthusiastic, at least not comparable to the Palace of Auburn Hills and the Time Warner Center, and Huaben felt sad for the players here, no wonder Carter, Maddie or Bosh wanted to escape Toronto after becoming famous, it was too unsatisfactory.

Because Carter made a remark about boycotting Wang Zhizhi's participation in the All-Star Team during the interview yesterday, the Bobcats were more hostile to him. Since the big brawl in Polis, the Bobcats have twisted up and down into a rope, which can be regarded as carrying the gun together. Attacking anyone on the Bobcats, they fought back together, and under the leadership of Huaben, the new army quickly gained a spirit of its own.

Bobcats players really hope that Wang Zhizhi can play as an All-Star, as long as Wang Zhizhi's influence increases, then they will also benefit greatly, and now many companies in Asia, especially China, are looking for them to be spokespersons.

"This game is a little bit good for the Raptors, guys, I'm going to make them have a bad Christmas this time!" Hua Ben Thief smiled and said to his teammates, "What is that Mr. Bangyan talking about?" He looks like he's going to take me up, right? Today I will fulfill this request of his. Also, Zebra, you're welcome, dunk him two, he's your best rookie rival. ”

Iguodala, who was fiddling with her Santa hat to show off her style, suddenly came to her senses: "What? Grab my best rookie? Damn, kill him today! ”

Carter and Wamoto have a mediocre relationship, but last year's All-Star was teammates and they played well together. Okafor and Waben were teammates at this year's Olympics and had a good relationship, so the two came over and chatted with Waben.

Iguodala said to Okafor without giving face: "Hey, Emeka, I'll detain you today, get ready." "Hua Ben is ashamed, why are you talking about this kind of thing? Just get him directly, a soft knife won't kill people?

Okafor sneered and said, "Let the horses go, I'll let you eat enough hot pot." ”

Carter smiled and said to Hua Ben: "That rookie under you has a surname, he stole my lines, Ben, do you know how I will greet you today?" As he spoke, he glanced at Wang Zhizhi, Carter is known for his penchant for riding inside players.

Hua Ben smiled slightly, and said kindly: "Wensi, be careful of your ankles and knees, I don't want to see you at the All-Star Game." ”

Since last season, thanks to Bowen, Carter's ankle and knee injuries have been baffling him. There are no injuries on his body, Carter is one of the NBA outside killers, can he be a nobody who can stage a battle with AI? In fact, if you watched the NBA game before the 06 season, you should know Carter's ability very well, his breakthrough is sharp, not worse than Maddie, after all, if you can't break into the restricted area, what dunk?

The Raptors' lineup is: center: Mr. Okafor, power forward: the best interior Bosh of the golden generation, and small forward: Jalen. Michigan Five Tiger Boss. Rose, playmaking defender: Street Ball King. I'm a jumping soul. Alston, Shooting Guard: Half-Man Demigod UFO Carter.

In fact, from the perspective of the lineup at this time, the Raptors are indeed very strong, and the least familiar of the five starters should be Rose, but this guy used to be the boss of the Michigan Five Tigers who were famous in the American basketball world that year, and won the Most Improved Player Award in the Pacers era, and now he has a big contract of 15 million.

When Huaben renewed his contract with the Pistons, Rose was once taken out by the Pistons' uniform team as a case, this guy's contract year exploded, and even helped the Pacers reach the Finals, and he averaged 23 points per game in the Finals! So the Pacers gave him a big contract, and then he fell, and Juvan, one of the Michigan Tigers. Howard is a virtue.

The lineup of the Bobcats has been adjusted, the center is Hua Ben, the big forward Oku did not start today, and Wang Zhizhi stepped on the starting list; The small forward was Steven Gerrard, who was used to defend Carter; Playmaking guard Patin, who is an ironclad starter, and shooting guard is Andre Iguodala.

When all the players in the NBA were boycotting Wang Zhizhi, Jordan gave his attitude with his behavior: Lao Tzu will become an All-Star!
