David Stern is a very appetizing "gimmick master".

This "Christmas War" proves this once again.

He didn't think about how strong the Heat team with Shaq O'Neal would be in the new season, nor how weak the Lakers would be without Shaq and without bringing in strong reinforcements.

He knows that the first meeting between "Shark" and "Peter Pan" alone is enough to make many fans look forward to it.

In fact, the war that started in Miami was evidenced by the fact that 150,000 tickets were sold on the front row of the sidelines, and it was hard to find a single ticket.

Even Scarlett came to ask Woody for a ticket.

You can see how much attention this game has received.

But in Woody's opinion, this guy asked if he wanted a fake ticket, and it was real to come and "prostitute" him!

This night, it was really wet from the head of the bed to the end of the bed.

But Scarlett is really top-notch.

It is also rare to have a more courageous physique.

Woody had a lot of fun.

This gave Scarlett enough reason to spend "Christmas Eve" with Woody.

But Woody refused.

Scarlett really didn't expect Woody to be ruthless to such a point, and when she left, she turned back three times in one step, and finally couldn't hold back, violating the cannon * law, and asked Woody why she refused.

Woody was unhappy with her transgression, but his heart relented when he looked at her pitiful eyes.

Zhang Wuji and his mother are right, the more beautiful a woman is, the more devilish she is.

Odom called him and asked him to meet.

When Scarlett heard this reason, she left in a huff, she really didn't expect that she would lose to a man.

What can he do with you?

Can he give it to you*?

But while sitting in her car and stepping on the accelerator and driving away, a trace of happiness flashed in her heart.

At least I didn't lose to other women.

When Odom saw Woody, he hugged his head and cried.

Woody pushed him away in disgust: "If you asked me to meet and just wanted to stain my shirt, then I have to leave now!" ”

Odom hugged him and didn't let go: "Man, I'm really miserable! ”

He didn't want to cry either, he really couldn't help it!

When he left Miami, he really didn't feel reluctant at all.

I think that I have left Pat Riley and returned to the "City of Angels" with many old lovers, which is definitely "the sky is high and the birds are flying, and the sea is wide and the fish jumps", and you can enjoy the beautiful life of galloping horses.

But he never expected that the Lakers did not have Pat Riley, but there was a Kobe Bryant who was more perverted than Pat Riley.

This guy is self-harming like crazy!

"You know what? He's just like you, he goes to the gym at 4 a.m. to practice! Odom believed that successful people had the same qualities, and he was awake at 4 a.m., but he didn't expect these people to do such a thing at this time!

Well, if you love it, do it!

At best, another Woody, and that's good!

At least, Odom and Woody were having a good time.

But......

Another one I never expected!

This guy is not only ruthless to himself, but also has "high standards and strict requirements" for his teammates!

"As long as you're late, he'll stare at you with his snake-like eyes for 48 minutes, and your scalp will be numb!" Odom felt as if he had thought of something, and he felt uncomfortable.

Woody also smacked his tongue, he didn't expect Kobe Bryant to have such a side......

Fortunately!

Fortunately, I didn't have the idea of partnering with Kobe Bryant at all.

Otherwise, he would be tired of dealing with Kobe's strange temper now.

"Man, now that I'm in the team, I really don't dare to say a word, for fear of saying something wrong and attracting his attention!"

Within the Lakers, all players have a similar consensus:

I'd rather let the head coach scold than provoke Kobe Bryant and let him target you, that feeling will definitely be worse than death.

For about 2 hours, Woody listened to Odom talk about his misfortune like a sister-in-law.

It made him almost emo.

The next day Shaq heard about it and laughed: "Man, this is Kobe, but it's only a thousandth of his eccentric personality!" No one will stand him! ”

He was obviously happy to hear bad things about Kobe.

Woody didn't argue anything.

After all, he can be regarded as wasting a "Christmas Eve" that should have been very pleasant because of Kobe's eccentric personality.

Since today is Christmas, the team has prepared community events. - Giving fans pizzas with the Heat logo on them.

Due to Woody's super popularity, he is surrounded by people.

This kept him busy until the end of the event.

"If I don't play well tonight, there's definitely enough reason for that!"

It wasn't until after 2 p.m. that the team's daily training time arrived.

Stan Van Gundy greeted him warmly: "Merry Christmas, everybody!" ”

The Heat have an excellent record, losing only six games so far, and with less than a week left until the end of December.

In this game, he didn't intend to let the Heat players have too much mental baggage.

Even though he knew Shaq would be desperate to win the match, he had a truckload of taunts waiting to be said after the game.

But as long as they play at their normal pace, he believes that it will not be difficult to win the Lakers.

So far, the Lakers have won only 10 games, and the gap between them and the Heat is sky-high.

A large part of the reason for Kobe's perverted personality is that Shaq O'Neal is too comfortable with the Heat.

He didn't want to be compared, so he fell into the horns, and no one could take him out.

Paranoia hung all over this guy's body.

Paranoid to the extreme, it seems that he is particularly violent!

But this guy is really good enough to break it.

The Lakers have a reason to win tonight.

That's definitely Kobe Bryant.

He is in charge of the new season, averaging 27.6 points, 5.4 rebounds and 5 assists per game, second only to Allen Iverson in points per game. He is the second-highest scoring average in the NBA this season.

In these games that the Lakers barely won, his play was undoubtedly not explosive.

Wade took the initiative to ask for help and wanted to defend Kobe.

He's been playing better and better lately and has obviously moved to another level.

So Stan Van Gundy agreed!

He is looking forward to tonight's game, where Wade can find another opportunity to transform in the confrontation with Kobe.

Approaching the opening, even the much-anticipated "Christmas War", because of Christmas, the smell of gunpowder before the game is much less.

Most of the fans who came here today came with the idea of enjoying Christmas.

Until Kobe Bryant, who had a gloomy face, entered.

This is the most common expression of Shaq this season after his departure.

However, most of the timing of this expression is about the same.

Anyway, Barkley saw the close-up of Kobe's expression and smiled: "Those reporters are there again to ask him if he misses the time when Shaq O'Neal is there!" ”

Well, yes, that's the most common question Kobe has heard this season.

Once the team loses, they will ask Kobe, "Do you think this has a direct impact on the absence of Shaq?" ”

If they win the game, but the win is hard, they will ask Kobe Bryant, "Do you think Shaq is here, can it help you better alleviate the current situation?" ”

Even if Kobe Bryant scores high and wins easily, even if it doesn't happen often, once or twice, these reporters won't stop asking: "What do you think are the chances of winning against the Heat tonight?" ”

Shaq, Shaq, Shaq......

As long as these bitch reporters ask questions, then they will inevitably bring Shaq!

It's like without Shaq, they wouldn't be asking questions.

If only we could create a world without Shaq!

Yes, this is Kobe's current mentality, but as long as there is a writing wheel, I am afraid that he will be able to open the final form immediately and completely go berserk.

Hatred filled his life, making his whole person look full of anger!

And at that time, the grapevine leaked out of nowhere, saying that he had called to try to recruit Woody, but it was unsuccessful.

Now, not only Shaq, but even Woody has become a frequent visitor in his life.

Naturally, they became the two guys he hated the most.

When the reporter was interviewing him tonight, the anger value brought to him was directly doubled!

Woody was also asked about the matter.

When the reporter asked a related question, he was a little surprised.

He had to admire the pervasiveness of these reporters, which happened almost exclusively between him and Kobe, and now let them dig it up.

He believed that Kobe Bryant would not take the initiative to say such a shameful thing, and he did not say it......

These reporters can see how good they can "dig"!

However, in terms of the situation of the two after this incident, Woody has reason to be suspected by Kobe Bryant that he leaked this matter.

So Woody saw an unusually angry Kobe tonight.

Especially when Shaq was standing next to him.

Of course, it won't have any effect on him, because the person who is directly opposite Kobe Bryant today is ......

Dwyane Wade!

He was fantasizing about a big scene tonight, and the whole person was extremely excited.

Odom and Caron Butler snapped in to say hello to Woody. It can be seen that this move has put them under a lot of pressure.

"So, man, you'd better make my performance look better tonight than ever!"

With the Lakers, Odom is still playing at the No. 4 position, and he will be Woody's counterpart tonight.

This is also the main reason why he stubbornly ran up to say hello.

He called it "Mercy Operations"!

The Lakers' other two starters were Chris Meem at the No. 5 pick, and Chaki Atkins.

The former is the 7th pick in the first round in 00, with a height of 2.13 meters and excellent static talent, Kobe Bryant is ready to build him into another Shaq O'Neal.

Of course, this illusion was ruthlessly shattered.

Even if this guy did average a career-high 9.8 points per game after coming to the Lakers, he still has a long way to go before Shaq O'Neal toes.

The latter, a non-draft player, gained a foothold from the Magic and made a certain name for himself with the Pistons, only to be traded to the Boston Celtics halfway through last year, and became a free agent directly this summer.

To be fair, these are two guys who have to fight for a regular rotation in other players.

In addition, Grant, who is worth tens of millions, completely fell out of the team's rotation lineup, averaging only 15.4 minutes of playing time per game in the early stage.

This is a lineup with a total salary of only 55 million.

To make a comparison, the Cavaliers, who enjoy the bonus of LeBron James's "child labor contract", have won two or three more games than the Lakers this year.

Kobe Bryant's Lakers should also be targeting teams of the same level.

How much investment is how much income is generated, and this sentence is actually very applicable to sports competitions.

A "youth storm" like the Heat, if it were common, would not cause such a reaction.

But Kobe Bryant was stunned to think that he could play a better game with this lineup.

This was his first step into the devil.

It was also the key to him making the rest of the Lakers uncomfortable.

It will put pressure on his teammates.

For some players, pressure is motivation, and for others, pressure can make their performance "dive"!

Chris Meem should have had a better advantage over Shaq on the jump ball, because Shaq didn't care who went first, and even if he tried his best to win a match, he wouldn't be so desperate.

That's why he's been swept so many times......

He just does everything within his power and does it all right, or is his invincibility that makes him full of dominance.

So jumping to the first attack, Shaq himself was surprised.

He looked at Kobe Bryant playfully.

Is this your "new Shaq"?

It's so interesting!

The ball went from Alston to Dwyane Wade.

When he was in high spirits and wanted to attack the highest point of the current No. 2 position in the league, he was met with a pair of cold eyes.

He thought of snakes almost instantly!

No......

It's just playing, you don't want to play with me, do you?

The second-year students were frightened by the aura of the "Triple Crown" in front of them.

The moment he got off the ball, Kobe Bryant quickly completed the steal, and then quickly turned around to launch a counterattack.

When Wade caught up, he could only watch him complete the split.

The first round of the "Christmas War" officially kicked off in Kobe's split.

Mine, mine!

Wade gestured awkwardly to his teammates.

Stan Van Gundy saw that he wasn't ready, and motioned to play inside.

Shaq was already ready to move, and the moment Alston passed the ball, he grabbed Chris Mim and forced it.

The five big and three thick young men can't stand the confrontation.

That's Shaq O'Neill!

"Phew!"

With a powerful two-handed slam dunch, Shaq O'Neal responded to Bryant's goal.

The "OK" combination was on the bar at the beginning of the competition!

The smell of gunpowder instantly washed away the serenity of Christmas.
