There's nothing more to look forward to than the reunion of O'Neal and Bryant, and the league has devoted two months of promotional resources to the gimmick.

Since the start of the regular season, the league has often mentioned from time to time, consciously or unconsciously, that this year's Christmas game will be exciting, jumping up and down more actively than their rival brothers.

The data revealed by the Spinach website also reflects the interest in this game, and bettors have already bet more on this game than in last year's finals.

"I don't know of another regular-season game that has had that same buzz." Al Michaels was a guest on the show and said that he would be commentating on the game with former Grizzlies coach Robbie Brown.

"Until then, the only things that would interest fans across the country were world-class series, the Super Bowl and the NBA Finals. Ever since O'Neal moved to the Heat, people have been looking forward to this game. ”

And in the previous interview, a round of clashes between the defenders of the two teams added another fire to this game.

As for why O'Neill himself didn't stand up and speak?

Because O'Neill really has nothing to say, in December, the interview with him is inseparable from the Christmas war.

Those cruel words, war books, and Ao Fat have already said them all over again.

In order to say non-repetitive trash talk, he even asked Mo Wen for help.

"I'm not going to play against Kobe, we're not players in the same position, but what happens when a light cruiser [a sports car from Chevrolet] crashes into a brick wall, you can imagine. He is a light cruiser, I am a brick wall. ”

On the surface, the sentence that seems to be light and breezy is already the most satisfying result of O'Neill's search.

On the night of the 24th, under the leadership of O'Neal, the Heat players enjoyed a Christmas dinner in advance at a Chinese restaurant in Los Angeles.

And in a mansion in Beverly Hills, Bryant is also enjoying the last peace before the war with his wife and daughter.

The two nannies he hired had gone home, and in the huge mansion, apart from the sound of the TV, only the cute chirping of his 2-year-old daughter remained.

His marriage to Vanessa gradually alienated him from his parents and sisters, and the social circle of relatives and friends was close to collapse.

They are like the male and female protagonists of idol dramas, who have broken up with their families for the other half.

There was only a dinner party for three people, warm and cold.

However, Bryant's attention was not on the sumptuous table in front of him, but on listening to the commentary on the TV.

Vanessa listened to the words on TV that were slanderous about Kobe and the Lakers, and she subconsciously wanted to find the remote control to change the channel, but was stopped by Kobe.

"It's okay, just listen to them, a bunch of clichés, I won't care."

Bryant tried to relax his facial muscles as much as he could, pretending to be enjoying a meal.

Noticing her husband's clenched knife and fork, Vanessa didn't believe his words, but she still stopped her movements.

"A lot of things, obviously not because of you, why don't you say it openly?" Vanessa sighed at her husband, who was storing up pressure like a gas can.

"I don't understand anything on the pitch, and if I explain anything before I win, they'll think I'm quibbling, because whatever it is, it's all about me." Bryant bit down the steak in front of him.

"I know too well that these cousins are just a bunch of vampires, so I don't care if you're innocent or not."

Both O'Neill and various media felt that he had driven away the Zen master and O'Neill at his behest.

But in fact, he is not the main factor in the departure of these two people.

The fundamental reason for Ao Fat's departure is that the old Bass doesn't want to give Ao Fat a big contract anymore, and Zen failed to renew the contract because of his relationship with Jeanie Buss, which involved infighting in the Bath family.

The Lakers' top brass put a gun against the backs of the two men, and then Kobe Bryant retreated the two of them off the cliff, and the melon-eating crowd could not see the Lakers top brass, only Kobe's final moves.

for all these charges were laid on his head.

Bryant, who tossed half-dead in that Colorado woman, didn't want to explain more about these "little things".

The Christmas present he prepared for O'Neill was an apology.

An apology that is spoken as the owner after a win.

······

Early in the morning, Mo Wen, who got up in the hotel, stretched out and took out the gift box that Catherine had given him before from the bedside locker.

Looking at this exquisite gift box, Mo Wen was a little embarrassed.

Christmas before crossing is also one of his most hated days, when he is single, he has to watch others sprinkle dog food, and only after taking off the list does he know that he has to sprinkle coins before sprinkling dog food. Don't say anything Chinese but foreign festivals, it is not a single dog who can say such things, but a man after marriage.

As for now, it's so fragrant.

The gift box opened, and to his surprise, there were three things stacked on it.

A pair of black bracers, a red sweater, and a pink tie.

The first two pieces are okay, but the last tie can only say that the little girl is really direct.

The tie is a thing that is used by the woman to swear sovereignty in Europe and the United States.

Of course, Catherine was not the only gift Mo Wen received, the team gave them half a day last night, and their teammates also bought some small items from each other.

While they were having breakfast, Nike also came to the door with their "gifts".

It took half a year for the first pair of Mowen's signature sneakers to finally be officially unveiled.

This is a very deviant pair of sneakers, with a gradient color scheme of black and red, and the inner support is a low-top sneaker, but the outside is covered by a high-top cloth lining.

"Are you sure it's sneakers, not women's high-top boots, snow boots, or rain boots?"

Watching Mo Wen running back and forth in the hotel lobby, O'Neill asked the Nike staff who was delivering shoes next to him, and the other teammates also looked at this side curiously.

It was also the first time they had seen such strange sneakers, and from the outside, Mo Wen looked like he was wearing rain boots.

"Of course it's sneakers, but it's also a great pair of sneakers, this shoe is arguably the best design we've had in the past two years, Mo is a real genius, he has given us a lot of very useful ideas, and this shoe is definitely the best sneaker in our internal testing."

The staff member who delivered his shoes said very sincerely.

Generally speaking, Nike will involve players in the design of the stars, but more often than not, they will only give them room to play on the outside.

But Mo Wen is different, he has worn an unknown number of pairs of sneakers in the copy, and he knows exactly what style is more suitable for him.

The prototype of this shoe is AJ28

In the previous life, this sneaker that came out in 13 years once saved the AJ brand, and later it was known as the "President Mountain" in the history of basketball shoes.

There are no disadvantages other than an alternative appearance and no resistance.

Although there are a few pairs of sneakers that can be comparable to this pair in terms of personal wearing experience, after thinking about it, Mo Wen still decided to take out this pair first.

The actual combat of these shoes is mainly comfortable, not durable, let Nike send a few more pairs of shoes to himself, it will be over.

The design of this sneaker is complex, the production cost is high, the price is definitely not low, coupled with the shortcomings of easy damage, it is not to pit the poor.

took out these shoes, Mo Wen didn't want to make money from the people.

Nike's 6% share of sneaker sales, which he doesn't really like.

In these years, relying on the little "common sense" in his head to invest money in those future industry giants, wealth is not a problem for him.

He signed a contract with Nike, and when he received the payment from Nike, it happened to be just in time for Google to go public.

He didn't even want to leave the money for daily expenses, so he put more than 13 million in his hand directly into it, and Heuman originally advised him to invest sensibly, but the single share of Google was $85 on the day of listing, and $130 per share a month later, and before Christmas, the highest price of a single share had exceeded $200.

In two months, the small target may be the unit where he pays taxes.

Mo Wen is not the most profitable, O'Neill spent 1 million dollars to buy part of Google's original shares in 98, and now the value of his shares is twice as much as Mo Wen's.

O'Neal previously opened salary reduction and contract extension negotiations with the Heat owner, and there is also this windfall factor.

Wade was still sour, and he didn't know that this pair of signature shoes was too ugly and a bit of a mother.

Mo Wen let him try a pair, and after putting on this product and running it for a while, he slipped away directly with his shoes!
