Chapter 769： crazy james

Winning is of course king, but basketball itself should be a joyful thing.

Zuo Li always thought so.

That's why he invited his teammates to have lunch early on this special day for most of his teammates.

After the lunch, Zuo Li also gave everyone a brand new Apple headset, including the coaching staff, one for each person.

Zuo Li has never been stingy with his teammates. During the festivals, Zuo Li likes to give gifts when he has something to do, from food, clothing, housing, to sneakers and headphones. People who know the insider envy say that the Knicks locker room is the best welfare in the league. locker room.

This may also be related to Zuo Li's birth in this life. The struggle between various groups in Harlem can be said to be very serious, but within the group, there is indeed a culture of blessings and hardships.

Stars who came from the slums may have a deep understanding. For example, Iverson was often exposed to buy a car and a house for his former poor buddies, and Anthony was almost arrested because his buddies made a fortune for him in the supermarket. These are all in the slums. A special culture formed by a special environment is very popular among black people.

Zuo Li is not very interested in this thing, but he is also very good to those who have been following him, especially those who are motivated and ambitious, Zuo Li can help them accomplish it.

This may be the reason why Zuo Li has received attention in the locker room since he was a child. Who can refuse a strong and generous person.

And Zuo Li is not for bribing, but sincerely hopes that his brothers are happy. Only by being happy can you play well. Zuo Li always thinks so.

Zuo Li, of course, received gifts from his teammates and coaches.

One car when you come, one car when you go, that's the culture of the Knicks locker room.

Then the whole team returned to the locker room together, watching the ball while doing pre-match preparations, and came out to warm up after two games.

This seems crazy to the Heat, but the Knicks take it for granted, and it will be better this way.

Of course, it doesn't mean that high pressure can't win the game. To a certain extent, the Heat's run-in so quickly also has a lot of credit.

Of course, the outcome of this game will only be known by comparison.

…

At 6 p.m., the much-anticipated Christmas battle, a feast for the New Yorkers and all Knicks fans on Christmas Eve.

boom! boom! boom!

In the Madison Square Garden stadium, the stage fireworks are blaring, and the huge stadium is decorated with the City Christmas House. You can see the decorated Christmas tree in every corner of the stadium. At the entrance of each passage, there are staff dressed as Santa Claus for each person. An incoming spectator handed out gifts.

The stadium was packed, and today was a carnival day for Knicks fans.

Before the start of the game, cheerleaders dressed in reindeer costumes performed a hot show to feast the eyes of the audience.

Poor Chinese fans, this is destined to be out of their reach.

After the performance, there was a dinner. The Heat's appearance ceremony was extremely simple.

Then came the Knicks appearance ceremony!

With the DJ's explosive commentary, Curry was the first to run out of the channel.

The Christmas wreath on his body quickly attracted people's attention, and this is the special preparation of the Knicks.

Everyone who came out later had similar decorations on them, lined up, full of Christmas elements.

The staff then removed these decorations one by one, which will be given to the lucky fans at the scene after the game.

Barkley, still wearing a reindeer headdress, made a pre-match introduction: "Welcome everyone to watch our game on Christmas Eve, tonight will definitely make your trip worthwhile."

"Miami Heat vs. Knicks, the third game between the two teams, I have to say, the league understands me too well, how does he know that I like to watch it?"

"Hahaha, get down to business guys, Kenny, you definitely won't take the victory today."

Smith pondered for a while: "I have 100 reasons to choose the Heat, but I don't have a reason not to choose the Knicks. Although they have lost their 2-game losing streak, 25 wins and 2 losses are still the ceiling of the league..."

"And the failed Knicks are even more terrifying. They can often burst out with greater energy. If the Heat want to win, the Big Three must collectively show their power. After all, the bench is too far behind."

Barkley gave a thumbs up: "You're rarely so reasonable, Kenny, and I think so too."

"The Knicks have a better chance of winning unless they feel better."

"Of course, everything has to be played to know!"

The two said, and the starters of the two teams were also released.

Knicks: Zuoli, Randolph, Shane, Belinelli, Curry.

Heat: Haslem, Bosh, James, Wade, Chalmers.

Compared with before, Haslem was put on the starting lineup is the only change.

To be honest, many people don't understand this change. Look at the Knicks' insider. If you don't want to let Haslem live, Spoelstra, just say it.

However, Spoelstra obviously also thought deeply, because Joel Anthony is a standing center. He enters the inside line. James and Wade have less room to break through, while Haslem is small and does not take up space. Without standing on the left, Haslem had to be sacrificed in order to exert the power of James.

who made you captain...

Haslem was obviously prepared, and his face was very tragic after playing.

Unsurprisingly, the Knicks' first attack really came to Zuo Li.

This is of course, UU reading Haslem defends, Zuo Li has no reason not to fight, his height is short of flying.

The 198-centimeter Haslem defense could only push Zuoli's waist, and he couldn't reach the ball in Zuoli's hand even with his straight arms. Zuoli easily turned and hooked to score two points.

When it was the Heat's turn, James, who was holding the ball, glanced at Zuoli and said to Wade, "Brothers, we blew them up tonight!"

"Blast them!" Wade shouted loudly.

"These bastards! This is our home court, it's too arrogant!" Randolph's face turned black with anger. Well, although he was originally black, it was even darker!

"Don't be angry, it's nothing to talk about." Zuo Li waved his hand, telling his teammates not to care.

It's normal to talk trash.

But Lao Zhan is talking trash. It seems that he is really coming, but he doesn't know if he will give himself a child of death.

However, the child of death has not seen it for the time being, and James' iconic tank breakthrough has been seen.

Haslem resolutely picked and rolled, Bosh pulled the side, vacated the inside line, James picked and rolled, found that the left standing followed the pick and roll, and then found space to complete the breakthrough layup.

One, two, three, four... Forget it, it's counted anyway.

2-2!

Over there, the Knicks were still easy to play, and Zuoli turned around and flew to Haslem to pick up the basket and score two more points.

It's the Heat's turn again.

This time Wade dribbled the ball, but he looked for James' pick-and-roll opportunity after halftime. James held the ball, ran to the half area where Zuo Li was not there, and carried Shane Battier in one step to kill!

In the face of Randolph who saved, James did not slow down, resisted with his explosive body, and completed the layup.

4-4!

"Old Zhan is crazy enough." Zuo Li shook his head and looked at James who was going to layup with two people on his back.

It's not like it's working hard!
