The Christmas War, the entire NBA season, except for the playoffs, is the most gimmicky and exciting matchup!

The league will select the most representative teams from the beginning, and on this day, in a festival that represents the pinnacle of American culture, everyone will start a battle of excitement!

There have been many, many classic Christmas showdowns in history!

In 1986, Ewing's ruthless lore.

In 1994, Scott Pippen descended to earth.

In 1995, the Rockets and Magic met again after the Finals.

This year, in 2008, the first battle that is about to begin, the yellow-green battle between the Los Angeles Lakers and the Boston Celtics will be staged again, and Lin Mu, who knows history, certainly knows that the Green Army's 19-game winning streak will be on December 26, a festival that everyone in the United States is celebrating, and it will come to an end!

Roll back the clock to the summer of 2008, the final game of the NBA Finals!

The Lakers are already 30 points behind the Celtics at Boston's North Shore Garden Arena, and the team is close to collapse, and although the game is not over yet, Boston fans have already begun to revel! Celtics captain Pierce spilled a bucket of Gatorade drink on head coach Rivers' back!

With the final whistle, the score between the two sides was fixed at the Lakers 92:131 Celtics, the Celtics won the 17th championship in team history, Garnett roared at the sky with a crying voice, "Anything is possible!" ”

At this moment, all the players of this Lakers team were nailed to the pillar of shame in history, and they created the largest historical point difference of 39 points in the finals decisive game! Throughout the Finals, the graceful and luxurious Purple Lakers were torn apart by the tenacious and iron-blooded Celtics.

The "king" of the Lakers, Kobe Bryant, under the white celebration paintballs flying in the sky at the North Shore Garden Arena in Boston, had a deep expression, pursed his lips, and slowly walked to the player's tunnel with a depressed and unwilling lonely figure.

At this moment, Kobe Bryant truly understood the meaning of "LAKERS": defeating the Celtics is the mission of every generation of Lakers!

Four months later, with a heart of revenge, Kobe's Lakers began the journey of the new season, they have a neat lineup, star-studded, the advantage of the inside line is proud of the whole league, and the outside line is personally helmed by the first person in the league, and the team's integrity, mobility, and unity are flourishing.

From the beginning of the season, he has been a powerful force in the league and firmly occupies the top spot in the West.

On the other side, the Celtics raised the seventeenth championship banner in team history in the first game of the season, and the whole team experienced the baptism of the finals, and the run-in degree of the lineup has been perfected, and after a short adjustment in the first few games of the season, it immediately started a terrifying 19-game winning streak, sweeping all the strong!

NBA is a commercial league, since the 40s of the last century, every year on Christmas Day, American time, the league will launch a heavyweight game on Christmas Eve, known as the "Christmas War", after the popularity of television broadcasting, eating turkey around the stove on Christmas Eve, watching the wonderful NBA live broadcast has become a tradition of the American people.

On December 25, 2008, U.S. time, fans in Staples, Los Angeles, had been congratulating each other "Merry Christmas" since the beginning of the game, when Americans were particularly cautious about their daily expenses, let alone entertainment spending.

However, when last season's NBA Finals champions and runners-up performed together, and when the Staples Center gathered superstars such as Kobe, Garnett, and Pierce to perform on the same stage, fans began to go crazy: Tickets for games worth $10-$315 had been sold out at the Staples Center months ago.

The most outrageous price to sell is a ticket that claims to be right next to the hardcore Lakers fans, Oscar winners Nicholson and Beckham, up to $10,000!

"They [Lakers fans] are clearly more resilient to the current depression than fans in any city."

VIP Ticketing President Harris Rosner said, "This particular race is the most high-profile event we've seen this year. ”

This battle is also a battle for the Lakers' redemption! The Lakers' Dream Demon last season, the motivation for the new season, all comes from the Celtics, and defeating them is the mission given to them by history

On the eve of the much-anticipated Christmas War, 19 corpses have fallen in front of the Celtics, the flowing Lakers face the unpretentious Celtics, the strongest spear VS the best shield of the season, the whole league is looking at the Lakers, they are determined to take revenge, how can they be willing to be the 20th stepping stone?

From the beginning, the two sides began to bite back and forth, and on that night, the Zijin Lakers, who have always been gorgeous and noble, turned into a bloodthirsty and fierce tiger and wolf army, and they were using the Celtics' way of playing to pay tribute to their opponents!

The Lakers' role players: Vujacic and Ariza, rushed to the floor ball like a desperate shot, and every shot and every ball fight was filled with a lot of physical contact.

As every fan knows, the Lakers have completed their revenge, and before the mighty Celtics have won the iron heel, the Lakers have defeated their old enemies, and although their names are still nailed to the pillar of shame, Kobe Bryant is using everything he can to erase the marks that have been branded on their bodies.

"Lin Mu, which of the two of them do you think can win?"

There was a five-and-a-half-hour difference in the game time, and the Thunder generals who were preparing for the Christmas battle were gathered in front of the TV to watch the much-anticipated yellow-green battle.

"Then you still need to ask?"

"Lakers Championship!"

Lin Mu shouted out the classic slogan.

"How do I feel Celtic can win the game?"

Everything that Lin Mu thinks is correct, I, Adu, must oppose it!

"Bet?" Lin Mu grinned.

"Coming back?" Durant hesitated, this kid has never lost a bet, so I TM won't be fooled.

"Don't dare? If you don't dare, shut up and watch the game seriously! ”

Why, if you don't play for two days, you really think you're the league's No. 1 striker?

3 minutes and 57 seconds before the end, Garnett completed the aerial relay with Rondo, the Celtics 81:79 Lakers, the Green Army seemed to see the hope of winning, Kobe Bryant immediately made a very difficult baseline drifting jumper, helping the Lakers 81:81 Celtics tied the score.

The Celtics failed to attack, 2 minutes and 48 seconds before the end, Gasol received a pass from Kobe Bryant and hit a mid-range jumper, the Lakers 83:81 The Celtics took the lead again, and then Ray Allen missed 3 points, and in the next round Gasol received a pass from Kobe Bryant again and scored 2 points, and the Lakers 85:81 The Celtics extended the lead to 4 points, and there were 2 minutes left in the game.

Garnett immediately responded with a jumper, and the Celtics trailed by only 2 points at 83:85, and the intensity of the game between the two sides has been raised to the extreme.

Then, in the picture, it is Gasol's highlight moment!

With 1 minute and 28 seconds left in the game, he received Kobe's pass for the third time, and went inside against the defense, and played 2+1 strongly!

The Spaniard roared in the sky, and finally smashed his demons in the finals at this moment! Lakers 88:83 Celtics.

In the end, the Lakers won this crucial battle, which made a lot of history and made this Los Angeles Lakers more united!

"Metamorphosis, this Los Angeles Lakers, has become stronger!"

Lin Mu's face was solemn, if Kobe Bryant didn't trust Gasol 100% before, then at the critical moment of this game, Gasol hit difficult goals one after another, which became a battle of love between the two!

"I'll always find him, he's my brother!" In an interview with reporters after the game, Bryant said.

"We ended Celtic's winning streak and I'm so happy. It's wonderful, it's wonderful, it's a fun game. Kobe, who kept laughing, used three "very" in a row.

From this moment on, the two truly believed in each other and believed that their team-up could defeat any opponent and win the final championship! Many years later, people will remember that there were once two people between heaven and earth who could replace all words with basketball.

In addition, "Zen Master" Jackson won the 1,000th victory of his coaching career, facing Auerbach, who had always looked down on him, and the Celtics, who he left behind, and Zen Master became the sixth coach in history to break this barrier.

"This kind of duel is really desirable!"

As a ball idiot, Durant's heart is already boiling, he is eager to prove himself on the court, he is eager to stand on the top of his own through his own efforts, the yellow-green battle ignited his inner desire!

"The next game is the moment for us to prove it to the world!"

"The Oklahoma City Thunder, just like our name, makes the thunder resounding all over the world, even though we are only a youth army, despite the fact that so many media reporters are not optimistic about us, the final victory will prove everything, prove that those people's views are completely wrong!"

“Thunder！”

"Your thunder is back!"

By the time the Los Angeles Lakers' game against the Boston Celtics was over, three of the five Christmas games had passed.

"Queen Bee" Paul led the army to Orlando to face the Magic.

The Magic, who had just lost the game against the Thunder, had already held their breath and fired up all their firepower to defeat the Hornets 88-66.

The Phoenix Suns host the San Antonio Spurs, and the feud between the two teams is extremely deep.

2000 was the beginning of a decade of feuds between the Suns and the Spurs in the playoffs.

At that time, the Spurs had a proud forward Elliott, who was the first player in NBA history to return to the court after a kidney transplant.

But at that time, the Spurs also had regrets, and All-Star Duncan could only sit on the sidelines due to an injury to the outside meniscus.

The Suns are not in good shape either, with starting forward Gugliotta still suffering from a knee injury and All-Star point guard Kidd struggling with an ankle.

Hardaway was the core leader of the team for all four games, and Rodgers, the sixth man of the year, stepped up from the bench.

Happily, Kidd, who had dyed blonde hair, returned in Game 4 and inspired the team with 9 points and 10 assists, and even rookie Marion scored 16 points and 14 rebounds. 3-1, the Suns kicked off a decade of bitter battle between the two teams with a hearty victory.

In 2003, rookie Smalls tasted the playoffs for the first time and was sent back to Phoenix by the spicy Spurs 4:2.

In 2005, when the Suns and Spurs met in the Western Conference Finals, the enemies met each other.

At this time, the Suns won 62 wins in the regular season and started the playoff journey with a high profile of the league's No. 1. Nash, who returned to the Suns that year, was radiant, and the regular season MVP that year gave the Suns hope of winning the championship.

However, the Spurs have always had a knack for making the Suns depressed, and they easily won 4-1 against the Suns without Joe Johnson. It is worth mentioning that in this series, Stoudemire scored more than 40 points in two games, and the other three games were also above 30 points.

In 2007, the Spurs' clash with the Suns was described as "exciting" and was also called one of the most talked-about series in NBA playoff history.

Violently interpreting the style of the game, the "dirty" Spurs have always appeared in Xiao Si's mouth, and the nuclear-looking Popovich has completely exposed his hideous fangs!

Until the summer of 2008, the Suns and Spurs met again, and Duncan's three-point shot became the eternal dream demon of the Suns team!

Although the Suns showed a weak trend this year, on the stage of "Christmas War", Nash led the team to stretch the gap to as many as 15 points.

Mason counts the second lore!

In the game between the Cavaliers and the Wizards that has not yet ended, the title at the top of the Christmas game is the picture of the Spurs Mason beating the Suns in the last moment!

The two bitter rivals, in the end, it was the old spurs who had the last laugh.

As for the war between the Little Emperor and the Wizards, I thought it was another epic duel between Agent Zero and No. 23, but Arenas opened first, hanging up the injury exemption card, and the Wizards also lacked absolute scoring points at the same time, ranking first in the East.

thought that the crushing momentum was overwhelming, and the two teams did not distinguish the winner until the end.

The Cavaliers defeated the Wizards by a quarter, and the situation was not at all like the matchup between the first place in the East and the bottom one in the East.

When all the games come to an end, the last game, and it is also a game that all Chinese fans pay attention to, the Oklahoma City Thunder visits the Tearing City, and the Portland Trail Blazers sit at the Rose Garden Arena, two teams full of absolute young talent are about to officially kick off at 10:30 China time!

"Brandon Royin + Greg Oden vs. Lin Mu + Kevin Durant!"

The title has been prepared for a long time, Huang Mambaga against Chinese supernova and Death Du, and four talented players will stage a picture of Mars hitting the earth on the floor of the Rose Garden Arena!

"The Legend of the Fairy Tree"

In addition, the Trail Blazers and Thunder have many talented young people on board.

Aldridge, Batum, Jeff Green, 28 cards.......

This will be a showdown between the storms of youth, and the young generation of stars will finally take to the stage and show their understanding of the times in front of fans all over the world!

Streamers flew in the air, Lin Mu and Durant were waiting for it, this would be the most important battle after they entered the alliance, everyone held their breath, waiting for the referee to blow the whistle, and the battle began!
