439 Christmas War
The NBA is playing superstars.
The Celtics' game against the Grizzlies illustrates this perfectly.
In the last quarter, it was almost Li Lei vs. Pierce + Lei? Alan.
Until the end, the Grizzlies led by 1 point.
The Grizzlies also had possession of the ball.
But in the next second, Rondo steals Lowry again.
Lowry's head was hot and he wanted to make up for his mistake, but he sent a foul.
Hush!
Amid the overwhelming boos, Rondo stepped onto the free throw line, fell into the basket twice on the first free throw, and hit the second free throw safely.
。
"It's a good Rondo, it's really a big heart, and it's not soft at the critical moment."
Grizzlies offense.
Li Lei is personally at the helm.
Pierce was shaken away by Li Lei's successive turns, but at this moment, Perkins pounced just right.
However, Li Lei was very calm and stuffed the ball straight into the basket.
Milicic catches the ball and dunks.
Bang!
。
The Grizzlies lead.
With 11 seconds left, the Celtics had the final offensive round.
Pierce hit a mid-range back-to-back single, and a turnaround jumper after a series of shoulder shakes.
Li Lei jumped up and gave enough interference.
Bang dang!
Didn't go in.
Doodle......
At the same time, the whistle blew for the end of the game.
Relying on Milicic's final quasi-kill, the Grizzlies defeated the Celtics.
Li Lei scored a frontcourt high of 39 points, 8 rebounds, 6 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks.
Milicic contributed rebounds, 2 assists and 5 blocks, which is an absolute star statistic.
On the contrary, before the game, Diss Milicic's Perkins only had 6 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks, and was completely blown up by Milicic.
At the handshake ceremony after the game, Perkins was all blushing and did not dare to look directly at Milicic.
However, this guy did not leave directly, but chose to shake hands with Milicic, which can be regarded as a tough guy.
Li Lei's side is also with Pierce and Ray respectively? Aaron hugged.
Don't look at Li Lei and Pierce spewing trash talk all over the audience, they almost have a fight, as if they are enemies of life and death.
But after the game, the two can sit together and chat.
"Well done today, congratulations, you won!"
Pierce hugged Li Lei and said.
Li Lei also patted Pierce on the back: "You also played very tough tonight, but you lacked some luck." ”
The relationship between Li Lei and Pierce is not good, but they both admire each other's strength and appreciate each other's tough guy style, so they can talk about going together.
Pierce finally quietly told Li Lei: "Next time you come to Boston, I will take you to the best nightclub." ”
Li Lei glanced at Pierce and jumped away directly.
Pierce was surprised and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Li Lei looked at Pierce and said, "Is it the kind that wants to be stabbed 11 times?" I can't afford to play. ”
Pierce: "......"
Slut!
Subsequently, Li Lei and Lei? Aaron hugged.
"Congratulations!"
Thunder? Aaron's words were much less than Pierce's.
But Ray? Alun and Li Lei have more topics to talk about.
They are two of the best shooters in the NBA right now, and both are good at running off the ball and have something in common.
The two also exchanged mobile phone numbers and made an appointment to discuss archery together.
After that, Li Lei also found Rondo.
"Rajan, good job, keep up, you'll get out."
Rondo was a little excited to be praised by Li Lei.
But soon, the guy swore and said, "Next time, we will defeat you!" ”
Li Lei rolled his eyes: "......"
It's an aggressive again, like that Paul of the Hornets.
……
Time flies.
In the blink of an eye, it's Christmas.
Last season's Christmas, the Grizzlies didn't play.
But this year I didn't have that luck.
The league has arranged opponents for the Grizzlies, still opponents who have just fought.
Los Angeles Lakers!
This is the third time in Li Lei's five-year career that he has played in the Christmas War.
And it is worth mentioning that Li Lei's opponents in the three Christmas battles are all Los Angeles Lakers.
In order to make full use of the heat of O'Neal and Kobe Bryant's infighting, the league has been arranging for the Heat to play the Lakers, and the two teams have played each other in the Christmas war for three consecutive years.
However, this year, O'Neal left the Heat and his performance was getting worse and worse, and the league simply found a new opponent for the Lakers.
They ended up with the Memphis Grizzlies.
Last season, Kobe Bryant and Li Lei started the battle for the scoring title, which was discussed by fans for a season.
In the summer, Kobe Bryant and Li Lei ate and lived together, learning from each other, and it became a beautiful talk in the mouths of fans.
Now fans generally believe that Kobe Bryant is the first of the Mesozoic generation of active NBA players, and Li Lei is the first of the new generation, and they are the two most popular superstars in the league.
Arranging them to fight can naturally attract countless eyes.
So the league played the "24vs15" gimmick early.
Unexpectedly, in the previous game, the Lakers and Grizzlies had a big brawl.
The clash is not a good thing, of course, but now it seems that because of that clash, the Lakers and Grizzlies can attract more attention to the Christmas game.
Because everyone wants to know what will happen in the second game between the Lakers and the Grizzlies after a big brawl.
……
Before going to Los Angeles, Li Lei even received David? Stern's phone.
'It's a Christmas game, fans all over the world are going to watch it, and I don't want it to happen again.'
Stern warned solemnly.
Li Lei was silent for a while, and then slowly spoke: "President, do you think I'm someone who likes to cause trouble?" The only thing I can promise you is that as long as Garnett doesn't cause trouble, I will never take the initiative to cause trouble. But if that guy continues to look for something, this time I'll leave him lying down and leaving the arena. ”
Li Lei's voice was not loud, but he said it word by word, and he spoke very resolutely.
There was a long silence on the other end of the line.
Stern was a little surprised, in the past, Li Lei had special respect for him and unconditionally met his requirements.
But this time, Li Lei expressed his opinion strongly.
Stern was somewhat uncomfortable.
But on second thought, for the sake of my family, I would have given the same answer if I had changed to myself.
Li Lei is a very good person to get along with, but the premise is not to touch his bottom line, otherwise you will meet a Li Lei who will make you regret it.
Sure enough, people who have the ability have tempers!
However, compared to Jordan, Li Lei is already good.
Thinking of this, Stern let out a long breath, and then said slowly: "Don't worry, he doesn't dare!" ”
Stern said domineeringly.
Garnett is a supergiant, but he can hold Garnett in the water if Stern wants to.
That's Stern dominance.
That's why many people call Stern the dictator of the NBA, and he has a prestige and ability that other presidents don't have.
On the other end of the phone, Li Lei's face suddenly changed: "Big guy, are you coming to Los Angeles on Christmas Eve?" My mom and dad have prepared some Chinese snacks for you, and I will bring them to you when the time comes. ”
Stern: "......"
Hehe!
Just now, he was coldly called the president, and now he licks his face and calls the big guy, shameless thing, chameleon.
However, Stern also enjoys this respect, after all, other superstars in the league don't talk to him like this, and they like to go against him one by one.
Think about it, it's better to be Li Lei.
"I'll be going to Los Angeles and say hello to your parents on my behalf."
Stern hung up the phone.
Next, he has to give Garnett a vaccination.
Speaking of which, Garnett is having a hard time.
It's okay to talk trash, but there's no bottom line for attacking your opponent's family.
A large number of stars in the league have expressed their dissatisfaction with this, including James, Durant, Iverson, Carter, O'Neal, Wade, ......
Especially James.
This time, James' attitude was particularly resolute and stood up to support Li Lei.
Then this group of stars brought a large number of fans to attack Garnett on social media.
Garnett's social media was quickly overrun, relentlessly bombarded, and eventually forced to turn off the message function.
And in recent days, Garnett has left Los Angeles to play away and has been sprayed everywhere he goes.
Even at the Staples Center, some fans expressed their displeasure with Garnett.
It can be seen that the three views of the vast majority of fans are still no problem, and they know right and wrong.
So during this time, in order to avoid being scolded, Garnett left after playing, did not give any interviews, and tried to avoid appearing in any news.
……
Until a week before this Christmas war, Garnett actually accepted TNT's invitation to participate in a live talk show.
At the beginning of the show, Garnett once again expressed his apologies to Li Lei and Li Lei's family, and even bowed, looking very sincere.
"I'm sorry for the trouble I've caused to Stone and his family. I also regret the bad influence I have had on the fans. Viewers in front of the TV, remember my hard lesson. Basketball is very important, but life is bigger than basketball, and family is the most important part of life, so family is bigger than basketball......"
In the first half of the show, Garnett apologized sincerely.
But in the second half, when the host asked: Will this matter affect the Christmas war?
Garnett replied without hesitation and categorically: "Of course not!" ”
"Basketball is my job and my dream, and I'm going to give it my all. No matter what happens, I'm going to give it my all to chase the victory! ”
The moderator asked: What about Stone?
Garnett thought for a moment: "Stone is a strong player, he can do incredible things. I'm deeply sorry for him, but the next time we meet, I'm going to put all distractions out of it and do everything I can to win him. It's respect for the fans and respect for Stone! ”
Moderator: Then who do you think will be the winner of the Christmas war, the Lakers or the Grizzlies?
Garnett blurted out: Lakers!
……
In front of the TV, Carlisle and Coach Van Gundy Jr. smiled wryly: "We're in big trouble!" ”
Li Lei nodded.
That's Garnett!
Although he is a bit of a bad worker, his attitude towards the game is absolutely unquestionable.
Some fans may think that what happened before, Garnett would not be able to get tough when he met Li Lei.
But on the contrary, because of the previous events, Garnett will be tougher, go all out, and desperately defeat Li Lei.
Garnett, who gave it his all, plus Kobe Bryant, who was in his prime......
Just thinking about it, Li Lei felt a little trembling.
What a terrible opponent!
But in the deepest part of his heart, Li Lei was a little excited.
Come on, let me rise to the challenge.
I'm going to see who wins in the end.
……
After the show aired, fans raised their senses about Garnett.
First of all, Garnett's apology was very sincere.
Secondly, Garnett's attitude towards the game is commendable.
Fans can rest assured that the Grizzlies and Lakers will definitely bring you a wonderful game.
In the week between the show and the Christmas game, the Lakers played three more games.
Garnett further sacrificed his stats to assist Kobe Bryant and help his teammates.
In such a situation, the Lakers are playing better and better.
In the first game, the Lakers defeated the Youth Army Hornets led by Paul and Yi Jianlian in half a game.
In the second game, the Lakers and the defending champion 76ers battled for four quarters, and defeated the 76ers at the last moment with Kobe's quasi-stunner and Garnett's key block.
In the third game, the Lakers killed the Cavaliers led by James in a devastating manner.
In three games, Garnett averaged only 17.3 points, 9.6 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.7 steals and 1.7 blocks per game.
But those who watched the game knew that Garnett was full of presence, working harder on the defensive end than in the past, building a great wall of steel for the Lakers.
This has also sparked discussions among fans.
"Garnett, what's wrong? Willing to assist Kobe Bryant, don't want your own data directly? ”
"I understand, when Garnett first came to the Lakers, he was also willing to sacrifice, but he was a little uncomfortable after all. And now, he only has victory in his heart, and he doesn't care about the data at all. ”
"Garnett, this mentality, is simply incomprehensible! Response, defense, dirty work, tiring work...... It's all covered! ”
"Look at the current Lakers, it's simply invincible, who can beat them?"
……
Before coming to Los Angeles, the Grizzlies watched the footage of the Lakers' three games, and their faces were solemn.
Just by watching the footage, they sensed the Lakers' progress.
Garnett's sacrifice allowed the Lakers to quickly merge.
Kobe Bryant and Garnett are getting better and better.
And they also traded for a defensive No. 3, Trevor? Ariza, which makes the Lakers' roster more perfect and powerful......
"We're in big trouble!"
Coach Carlisle said this for the second time.
……
Before Christmas, Grizzlies owner Michael? Hasley gave the whole team a gift, a custom-made high-end suit.
As the boss of the team, Li Lei naturally has to say that he held a party in his apartment in Memphis to connect with his teammates.
After that, the Grizzlies officially traveled to Los Angeles to challenge the Lakers, who were invincible in the eyes of fans.
This time, General Manager Jerry? Mr. West personally led the team.
