Chapter 231 A Leisure Christmas
When the Spurs returned to San Antonio with a record of 19 wins and 5 losses, all the Spurs players also ushered in a few days of rare holidays. Now the most important thing in the entire NBA league is naturally the Christmas game on December 12. This year The two games of the Christmas War, Magic vs. Raptors, Lakers vs. 25ers, whether it is the confrontation between Tracy McGrady and Carter’s cousins, or the battle between Kobe and Iverson for the scoring title, are full of gimmicks, and as the defending champion , The Spurs also missed this feast very sadly. Who made the ratings of the Christmas game between the Spurs and the Lakers last year really unsatisfactory. In addition to the finals between the Spurs and the Pacers last season, it broke the total of the Spurs and the Knicks. The ratings record for the finals set the worst ratings record for the finals. Therefore, after the finals of last season, the Spurs had the title of box office poison. Therefore, under such circumstances, the league would not arrange for the Spurs to participate anyway. This year's Christmas fight.

In addition to the league's new round of star-making campaign, winning the title of "Four Shooting Guards", the teams with the most popular players will naturally be taken care of and praised by the league.However, this year's Christmas game is slightly different from the strong dialogues of previous years. The Raptors with Carter and Olajuwon, and the Magic with Tracy McGrady and Hill, are expected to become new players in the Eastern Conference. Jin Haoqiang, but now the Raptors' record is only 13 wins and 12 losses, ranking 6th in the Eastern Conference, while the Magic is even worse, with 10 wins and 14 losses, ranking 10th in the Eastern Conference. Can't make it to the playoffs.Only the records of the Lakers and 76ers are still a little bit past. The Lakers are now ranked 17th in the West with a record of 8 wins and 5 losses, while the 76ers are ranked 18nd in the East with a record of 7 wins and 2 losses.

It is precisely because of this reason that David Stern is really worried now that the Christmas game is approaching. If he had known that Hill would be injured, the Raptors and Magic would be like this. Let the Spurs continue to play the Christmas game. If the match between the Spurs and the Lakers on the 20th can be held on Christmas Day, this year's Christmas game will definitely become the most popular one after Jordan left, but it is too late to say anything now. Seeing that this year's Christmas game might become the worst in recent years, David Stern hurriedly walked around in the office.

Compared with last season, the pattern of east and west this year has undergone major changes. In the west, the king has risen strongly this season. Last season, the king was ranked last in the west. This season, he currently has a record of 20 wins and 5 losses. Ranked first in the West.The Trail Blazers are currently ranked second in the Western Conference. In recent seasons, the Trail Blazers have been very stable. The current record of the Trail Blazers is also the same as that of the Kings. The Blazers are behind the Kings because of their loss to the Kings.After the Trail Blazers are the Spurs with 2 wins and 19 losses and the Jazz with 5 wins and 19 losses. The records of the Jazz and Spurs this season are still as close as they have been in previous seasons.The Lakers, who won 6 wins last season and won the first place in the regular season, unexpectedly ranked fifth in the Western Conference this season.After the Lakers, the Dallas Mavericks ranked sixth in the Western Conference with a record of 67 wins and 5 losses. After the Mavericks, the Timberwolves, Suns and SuperSonics all had a record of 16 wins and 8 losses. The Nuggets currently have a record of 6 wins and 15 losses. If this record is placed in the East, it is enough to rank in the top 9.

This year's Eastern Conference has also changed a lot. First of all, the Knicks and Pacers. The performance of these two traditional powerhouses this season is very unsatisfactory. Last season, the Knicks ranked third in the Eastern Conference. After the star Ewing left , Although the Knicks have played better under the leadership of Alan Houston and Sprewell, but so far this season, they have only a record of 3 wins and 12 losses, ranking 12th in the Eastern Conference.The first Pacers in the Eastern regular season last season were even worse. After Larry Bird resigned, the smiling assassin Thomas took over the Pacers' coach, but the Pacers are currently ranked 7th in the Eastern Conference. There are only 9 wins and 11 losses. The Pacers and even Pacers fans are already calling for Larry Bird to re-enter to take over the Pacers.After the Heat's head star Alonzo Mourning left the court due to kidney failure this season, the Heat's strength directly dropped a notch. At the same time, Patley used Eddie Jones in exchange for Jamal Mashburn. The performance of the season is not as good as before, so the Heat, which ranked second in the Eastern Conference last season, can only be ranked fifth in the Eastern Conference.

The three perimeter players of the Bucks this season, Glenn Robinson, Ray Allen and Sam Cassell have all ushered in the pinnacle of their respective careers. Can contribute 3 points, 3 rebounds, and 65 assists. Therefore, under the leadership of the league's strongest perimeter combination, the Bucks are currently ranked first in the Eastern Conference with a record of 17 wins and 16 losses. Followed by the 19ers with Iverson.This season, the Hornets used the head star Eddie Jones to trade Jamal Mashburn from the Heat, and in Jamal Mashburn, David Wesley and Baron Davis 6 outside musketeers Under the leadership of the Hornets, the Hornets also played the best start in the past 76 years, and are currently ranked third in the Eastern Conference with a record of 3 wins and 10 losses.
"Xiao Xu, hurry up and see if the roast turkey is ready." Meng Xu was sitting on the sofa, watching the Christmas battle between the Lakers and the 76ers. The voice came from the kitchen.

On Christmas Day, December 2000, 12, Meng Xu, who wanted to sleep late, was woken up early in the morning by He Hui. After staying here for a few years, I gradually got used to celebrating Christmas, especially He Hui. This year is her sixth year in the United States.

Early in the morning, Meng Xu accompanied He Hui to go shopping, preparing to buy today's Christmas dinner, and the two of them bought a whole roast turkey very extravagantly, although the taste of this thing was not very good in Meng Xu's opinion. He Hui insisted on buying one. According to He Hui, on his first Christmas in the United States, he made a wish to eat a whole roast turkey.In addition to roast turkey, He Hui also made several Chinese dishes that Meng Xu likes very much, and today's big meal cost almost 2000 US dollars. The two of them ate the Christmas dinner while watching Looking at this year's Christmas battle, I was very happy. At the end, He Hui gave Meng Xu a tie pin as a Christmas present, which also made Meng Xu very embarrassed, because Meng Xu forgot to prepare a Christmas present for He Hui.

Although the family backgrounds of Meng Xu and He Hui are not bad, Wake Forest’s annual tuition fee of more than 5 US dollars is unaffordable for ordinary families. Therefore, their lives have always been very simple. It is different from playing basketball. In the first year in the United States, He Hui went out to find a part-time job. Basically, except for tuition, He Hui's daily expenses and living expenses are all earned through part-time jobs.Although Meng Xu received a million-dollar annual salary last season, after deducting various taxes and buying an apartment in San Antonio, Meng Xu has no money left.Fortunately, Meng Xu signed a big contract with Nike this season, so this Christmas is also the most extravagant Christmas that He Hui and Meng Xu have had in recent years.

Just when Meng Xu was spending Christmas comfortably, the teams that participated in this year's Christmas game were not so happy. In the confrontation between McGrady and Carter's cousins, the Magic and the Raptors played two overtimes before the points were scored. Relying on McGrady's 2-point performance in the second overtime, the Magic finally defeated Carter's Raptors 6-116. The gap of the next half wins.In this game, McGrady also contributed 111 points, 1 rebounds, and 33 assists.And Carter also contributed 7 points, 7 rebounds and 31 assists. The performance of the two is basically the same.The most outstanding player in this game is undoubtedly the big dream Olajuwon. The old and strong Olajuwon made 9 of 7 shots and 16 of 12 free throws in this game. He scored 6 points and 4 rebounds , I don’t know if the Rockets’ management will regret it after seeing Olajuwon’s performance today. Although he is 28 years old, during his playing time for the Raptors this season, Olajuwon played less than 15 minutes. Zhu Wang was still able to contribute 38 points, 30 rebounds, and 14.5 assists.The Rockets have now fallen to the third-to-last position in the Western Conference, and they can already consider competing for the No. 7.7 pick this season.

In another game between the Lakers and the 76ers, Kobe and Iverson, the only masters in the two leagues, also contributed to a visual feast for all the audience. Iverson made 29 shots 15 of 9, 8 of 41 free throws, scored 5 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, while Kobe got the 40th 28+ this season, 14 of 13 shots in the game, 11 of 42 free throws, got 6 points and 30 assists, while O'Neal scored 21 points and 30 rebounds in this game with 20+98 data. In the end, relying on the outstanding performance of Kobe and O'Neal, the Lakers defeated the 93ers 76-[-].
