When they arrived at the airport, the Warriors players were complaining, and it was inevitable that today was December 23rd, and tomorrow, December 24th was Christmas Eve, and they were going to cross the ocean to Miami on the East Coast, which was a bit of a fuck.

The importance of Christmas in the West is self-evident, similar to the Chinese New Year, and Christmas Eve is similar to China's Chinese New Year's Eve, the NBA is also humane in the whole league holiday on Christmas Eve, no team plays, and then on Christmas Day, there will be several major games.

Most teams will have two to three days off, and many teams have no games scheduled on the 23rd, but the Warriors are not among them, their December is a hellish trip, and there are still games to play tomorrow, and they are still playing the Heat, a strong team in the East.

The Heat now have inside giant Shaq O'Neal and new outside king Wade, and as long as the two stay healthy and on the court, they are absolutely invincible in the NBA. Fortunately, since last season, O'Neal and Wade have had physical problems, and the two are often absent, so the Heat's record has plummeted.

Unfortunately, not long ago, O'Neal and Wade, who were out of action, paid successively, in fact, the shark is lazy, and his so-called injury truce is just that he doesn't want to play, and this guy's current professionalism is really doubtful. However, before the team played against the Warriors, he announced that his injury had improved, and in fact, everyone understood that O'Neal wanted to teach Chamberlain a lesson.

Chamberlain's strong rise has made all the old insiders in the league very dissatisfied, and I have never seen such an arrogant newcomer, no wonder, ordinary games are okay, Chamberlain will be energetic as long as he meets those super insiders, and his ability will develop in a blowout.

For example, he has played against Duncan, Xiao Si, Yao Ming, and Howard, Chamberlain's performance is very eye-catching, others will languish in the face of superstars, he is the opponent's reputation is getting louder and stronger, and his records are almost all created in the battle against these people, which has to make people sigh at his big heart.

But so far, not no one has been able to hold Chamberlain down, such as Garnett, who crushed Chamberlain enough last month. Of course, all this is related to Chamberlain's psychological activities, but the fans don't know what to do, and now in the eyes of fans, Chamberlain's only black spot is Garnett, and his performance in the face of Garnett is inferior.

O'Neill is also a figure who set off storms and waves as soon as he entered the league, this guy has a simple appearance, but he is not very open-minded, and he is a child's temper. In his heart, the league's No. 1 interior line has always been his, and Duncan and Garnett, who can play, dare not play center, which has always been his proudest place.

The appearance of Chamberlain provoked O'Neal's status, although the outside world now advertises Yao Ming as the league's first center, but in the NBA, there are not many teams that really take Yao Ming seriously, and most people recognize Yao Ming as a good insider, and it can even be said that he is the league's top insider, but it is by no means the first center.

But Chamberlain is different, Chamberlain's immediate combat power and age advantage have allowed him to lock in the position of the league's first center, whether he understands basketball or not, he has to admit that over time, Chamberlain is the league's first center.

O'Neal doesn't want to see this, and he plans to teach rookies a lesson and tell everyone that the future of the league's interior may be Chamberlain's, but now it still belongs to him Shark O'Neal.

In fact, O'Neal's actions have caused dissatisfaction with the Heat team's uniform team, after all, he is just a player, and he is an old man who has entered the twilight of his career, the team does not allow him to come nonsense, you say injury and stop, you say truce, truce, what is the team? It's okay to be injured and suspended, but you say that you will recover your health if you are healthy, so what does the team need a medical team for?

O'Neill doesn't think so, he's the kid king who dares to yell at Old Bass, 'Give me a top salary', no matter how fierce Pat Riley is, can you compare to the king of the purple-shirted nobles?

On the plane, Jackson and others complained that Barnes's wife was pregnant, and of course he wanted to accompany his wife and children to spend Christmas Eve together, but it turned out to be good, the game on the night of the 23rd, after the game, it was the 24th, and it was Christmas to sleep, how to accompany his wife and children?

What's more, when you come to Miami, a man's paradise, how can these guys leave if they don't have a good time?

Chamberlain is also depressed, not because he is going to play, but because of the scandal between him and Taylor Swift, everyone knows that these crazy pictures on the Internet are all fake, but they still go viral, and now the reporter meets him and asks him about his relationship with Taylor, which makes him annoyed.

This kind of thing is so strange, every day there are countless PS pictures on the Internet, including Obama and tycoon Soros, but those photos are not popular, but the photos of Chamberlain and Taylor Swift are popular.

Now there has been a trend on the Internet, that is, the whole people are PS, all of them are taking photos of Chamberlain and Taylor Swift for PS, all kinds of content, and there are even Chamberlain riding Taylor Swift for a dunk.

After getting off the plane, the Warriors players took the bus into the American Airlines Center, according to the rules, there was a locker room interview before the game, and after the reporters poured into the locker room, most of them squeezed directly to Chamberlain, and handed the microphone in their hands to Chamberlain.

Chamberlain knew what these people wanted to ask, and he preemptively said with a gloomy face: "I am innocent with Miss Taylor Swift, we have no relationship with each other, we came to Miami today to play, if your interview is not related to the game, then please leave our locker room." ”

The reporters looked at each other, and someone turned their minds and shouted, "Mr. Z, may I ask Miss Taylor what would you most like to say to Miss Taylor if she came to the American Airlines Center to cheer you on?" ”

Chamberlain was furious, he exclaimed: "I have made it very clear, I have nothing to do with Taylor Swift, nothing to do with it, he will not come to cheer me on, I will not go to her concert, everything is like this, OK?" I don't understand why you pay attention to a non-existent scandal and not pay attention to my game, you must know that I got a triple-double on the court, don't you want to know my game today? ”

One reporter said, "Okay, Mr. Z, what is your goal for today?" By the way, does this goal have anything to do with Taylor Swift? ”

Another reporter struggled to squeeze to the front and asked, "Mr. Z, if you have nothing to do with Miss Swift, why don't you attend her concert, and why doesn't she come to your game?" Is there some contradiction between the two of you? ”

Chamberlain stopped talking, and concentrated on playing with his phone, fuck it, Lao Tzu doesn't speak, see what else you can play.

He underestimated the reporters, saw him playing with his mobile phone, and another reporter asked with a smile: "Mr. Z, are you chatting with Taylor Swift online?" ”

Chamberlain still didn't speak, and now he put away his phone and picked up a tablet to study O'Neill's game footage this season. In fact, he understands what these reporters are gossiping about, sports reporters are also people, dealing with data all day long, and they are also tired, how can they miss this kind of entertainment gossip? Even if there is no selling point in the report, it is good to be a topic before and after meals.

The game that started immediately saved Chamberlain, and the players entered one by one, with Chamberlain at the bottom and Davis in front of him, which was the order of appearance hand-picked by Nelson Sr., which was a decision for Chamberlain's central position.

As the Heat's "give-me-everything" music played, players from both sides entered, and O'Neal stepped on a rhythmic step to improvise a hip-hop dance, and then the atmosphere in the American Airlines arena became enthusiastic.

"Big shark, devour the girls from California!"

"Knock them all into the Atlantic Ocean and let them die!"

"O'Neal is the No. 1 center, the No. 1 center in NBA history!"

Listening to the enthusiastic shouts of the fans, O'Neal was full of pride, but he didn't respond to the fans, all this was too familiar to him, just walked to the Warriors' bench with his hands behind his back and walked slowly with a bully step, he deliberately didn't look at Chamberlain, and greeted Davis, Jackson and others: "How are you going to spend Christmas?" How about staying in Miami? We have piping hot beaches, hot sunshine, and passionate beauties. ”

Chamberlain did a warm-up activity seriously, this step is indispensable, which is specially requested by Winnie, so that he must move the joints of the whole body before the start of each game to avoid injury.

O'Neill chatted with Jackson and the others for a few words, and finally saw Chamberlain ignore him, he couldn't hold his breath at first, and said to Chamberlain: "Rookie, this is my territory, it's a shark hunting ground, do you know the way?" ”

Chamberlain asked rhetorically, "So what?" ”

Hearing this, O'Neill laughed, and he exclaimed, "So what? You got to the point, you're going to be Mr. Shark's dinner today, do you know? ”

Chamberlain rolled his eyes and said impatiently: "Eat, eat, just know how to eat, you have so much fat on your body now, didn't your wife tell you that it is best to lose weight?" ”

Jackson and others hugged their arms and watched the jokes on the side, although Chamberlain was a rookie, he had been on the streets since he was a child, and trash talk was also a must, and he had never lost to anyone compared to bickering. And Chamberlain has a strong fighting power as a backing, if the other party is provoked by his trash talk and wants to solve the problem by violent means, then he is absolutely willing to accompany him.

Chamberlain didn't really want to provoke O'Neill, who didn't provoke him, and he wasn't a mad dog. The two argued for a few minutes, and the coaches of the two teams began to arrange tactics, and the game was about to begin.

The starting lineup of the Warriors is Chamberlain + Harrington + Jackson + Davis + Ellis, with offense and defense.

The starting lineup for the Heat is O'Neal + Haslem + Ricky Davis + Wade + Dorrell Wright.

In the opening jump ball, Chamberlain knew that O'Neill wanted to clean him up, so didn't he have the same idea? He wants to play all the inside lines in the league and become the veritable first inside line.

Therefore, when the ball was jumped, Chamberlain was full of energy, and as soon as the ball flew to the highest point and was about to fall, he immediately jumped up and slapped the ball down. He had expected O'Neill to compete with him, but the shark was just a symbolic stepping foot and didn't jump at all.

"You're so lazy." Chamberlain scoffed.

O'Neill didn't bother to argue with him, and said, "I don't waste my strength to do useless work, as for whether I'm lazy or not, you will know the truth immediately." ”
