Chapter 23
The NBA Christmas Game in 09 arranged for a confrontation between two of the most prestigious superstars in the league.

The little emperor James played against Peter Pan Kobe. This year, James' physical condition reached its peak. With an average of nearly 7 points per game, he also scored more than 8.6 rebounds and sent 31 assists per game.Similarly, Kobe has not aged this year. He has just turned 90.00, and he can still hit more than [-]% of the league's points every game.

What made this game particularly noticeable was O'Neal's return to Staples.Gimmicks, grievances, fights and performances make up the basic elements of this game that is particularly unusual.

Syracuse University had a holiday early, and Tang Wenlong nestled in the apartment alone, turned on the heater, turned on NBATV, and waited for the start of the game early.

When a person is in the apartment, he will watch the NBA game quietly like this.

He can feel that his dream of entering the NBA is getting closer.He has also seen recent reports. Apart from the media that sang his praises completely, some well-known basketball experts have also begun to analyze his situation, and most experts believe that he has great potential to enter the NBA.

As for the current NBA players, Tang Wenlong doesn't have any star that he adores crazily.Relatively speaking, he still loves his brother Carmelo Anthony very much. It's a pity that today's Nuggets game will be played at the end. The time in the West is different from here. He probably won't be able to hold on. Will fall asleep by then.

But it is also very good to look at the Lakers who are currently No. [-] in the West and the Cavaliers who are No. [-] in the East.

At this moment, Tang Wenlong's cell phone vibrated suddenly.

Tang Wenlong frowned slightly. Who would call him at this time?He looked at the number, uh, it's still an international call.

"Hello?" Tang Wenlong answered the phone.

"Hi, hello, is this Mr. Tang Wenlong?" A man's thick voice came from the other end of the phone.

Tang Wenlong's mind was running fast, carefully distinguishing the man's voice, which seemed a little familiar.Then he cautiously asked tentatively, "Who are you?"

"I am." The other end of the phone couldn't hold on any longer, and burst out laughing. Immediately afterwards, Tang Wenlong heard roaring laughter on the phone.

Suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his head, he remembered who this was, and scolded with a smile: "Well, how big-eyed you are, how dare you tease the old man!"

"Oh, I'm still an old man! You've only been there for a few days and you've become a big brother, corrupted by the evil emperor?" He Dayan's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone. Although he was arguing with Tang Wenlong, Tang Wenlong listened. My heart felt warm, and my nose felt sour.

"What's the matter, call me when you have time." Tang Wenlong suppressed his mood, and then asked in a calm tone as much as possible.

He Dayan said: "Ha, it's nothing, didn't you say that you are celebrating Christmas over there today, thinking that you should be bored by yourself, let me call you and chat."

"Oh, that's right." He Dayan continued eloquently: "The things you gave me before you left are really valuable. In the past few days, some of your fans have come to ask me for that notebook."

Three black lines appeared on Tang Wenlong's forehead, and his eyelids twitched: "So you sold it?"

"Of course!" He Dayan said.

Tang Wenlong immediately cursed: "Damn it, you are hopeless!"

"Listen to me." He Dayan coughed dryly and said, "Of course I didn't sell it. He thought I was stupid. He wanted to buy me this notebook for 50 yuan. If you entered the NBA in the future, When you become a superstar, this notebook is your first signed notebook. How can the commercial value be compared with the current one? Isn’t it worth more if you sell it at that time?”

Tang Wenlong: "."

"Hey, are you listening to me? I told my roommates in the dormitory that you were my deskmate in high school, but now they feel that you are the person next to them. Lost your fans, hey, I rely on robbing your sister! Also rob me"

"Tang Wenlong, I am He Dayan's lower berth ~ My name is "

"I'm the head of the house, I'll come first. I rely on whether you have humanity!"

Tang Wenlong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and the scene of He Dayan's chaotic battle in the dormitory came to mind, and there was a look of envy in his eyes.Although he gets along well with his classmates at Syracuse University, communication and some small details in living habits still make him incompatible with the entire American college life, such as party activities and so on. happiness.Zhong was a few friends from the basketball team, and they really got together.

"Damn, Wenlong, don't talk about it, these bastards are going to turn the world upside down, I have to deal with them first. Let's get together next time we return to Xiyang."

"Beep beep beep~"

The blind speaker on the phone rang, and Tang Wenlong hung up the phone slowly.After He Dayan made such a fuss, his mood also improved, and a smile appeared on his face.

At this time, the game between the Lakers and the Cavaliers began.

O'Neal took the lead in the opening game and dunked three baskets in the first quarter.For the Sharks who have almost reached the end of their careers, this is a very rare scene, especially when he is facing the Lakers' young and powerful center Bynum.The lights of Staples were shining, and O'Neill seemed to have really found a sense of being on this floor.

In the second quarter, James led the team alone. He caused Ci Shiping's foul and went to the free throw line.

Tang Wenlong gestured to the thick arm of James, who was as powerful as a prehistoric monster on TV, and then touched his bicep, which was still slightly contoured, and couldn't help clicking his tongue: "It's a terrifying body. How do you defend against such an opponent?"

Immediately afterwards, Kobe dribbled the ball to the front court, and after a half-turn and a feint, he made a fallback jumper!Tang Wenlong let out an exclamation when he saw it, the range of the backlash was outrageous, and the most important thing is that he actually threw it in! "Is this the strength of the top superstars in the NBA? Just watching it on TV is so scary."

He watched the back-and-forth duel between Kobe and James, and he couldn't help but put himself into the opponent's role, imagining how he would break through the defense and defend others if it were him.

"Ring ring ring." At this time, Tang Wenlong's cell phone rang again.

"Who is it!" Tang Wenlong's eyebrows flashed with anger. This is the critical moment of the game, and he feels very uncomfortable being interrupted.

But as soon as he saw someone's phone call, he immediately became beaming.

"Hello~" Tang Wenlong's tone naturally became extremely gentle, even he didn't realize it.

"What are you doing?" From the other end of the phone, Fang Chuxia's voice was as light as a cuckoo, with a hint of softness, which made Tang Wenlong's bones soften.

Tang Wenlong immediately replied: "Let's watch the game again, the Christmas game, the Lakers vs. Cavaliers."

At this moment, outside the corridor of the girls' dormitory of Huaxia Capital University, Fang Chuxia was wrapping up tightly, breathing heavily, holding up her mobile phone to make a call.

"There is no class this morning, um, it was just morning here just now."

"No, it's only New Year's Day."

"No, we study very hard, don't you think it looks like you!"

Squeak~ The door to the girls' dormitory opened, and one, two, three heads were stacked together, sneakily seeing Fang Chuxia who was leaning against the wall on the phone, Qi Qi let out a gossipy smile.

The university holidays in Syracuse ended amidst the disturbances, and before the students recovered from the partying, the pointer of time slipped past to 2010.

The NCAA basketball league has become more popular, and the Big East is hot.

Syracuse University's first game of the new year was against the University of Louisville Cardinals, the bitter host of last year's tournament.Last year, Syracuse University led by Jonny Flynn lost to the Cardinals 66 to 76, regrettably losing the title of the Big East Championship.

But this year, the fate of the two teams is completely different.

With Tang Wenlong and Wesley Johnson, the strength of Syracuse University has risen instead of falling, and it has killed the entire Big East. Even the Hoyas of Georgetown University, which has the terrifying insider monster Greg Monroe, are also down. Under the iron heel of this inexplicably appearing dark horse, they suddenly became the most powerful team in the entire Big East.After the Cardinals lost such powerful players as Terrence Williams and Earl Clark, they really became sluggish this season. Since the start of the game, they have only achieved a mediocre record of 4 wins and 5 losses. .

Therefore, for Syracuse University, which has won the current ten-game winning streak at home, even the students of the University of Louisville themselves who came to cheer, actually do not have much confidence in their hearts.

Without much effort, Syracuse University won the game 83-67.

If it wasn't for the random three-pointers thrown by a few small guards of the Cardinals in the last garbage time, Syracuse University would end the game with an advantage of more than 20 points. In such a slow offensive rhythm, it is possible to build such a large The advantage really made Coach Jim very satisfied.

He's starting to really see a bright path, a path to a championship trophy in April.
