【163】Christmas War!

That night, accompanied by Tang Xiaomo and three best friends, Su Mo finally had a joyful Christmas Eve.

During this period, Su Mo and his sister also called their mother in China, and the chat lasted for more than half an hour.

Su's mother Tang Huixiu, who was far away in China, knew that Xiaomo and others had safely arrived at her son's residence, so she was relieved.

The next day, Christmas came.

The two highlights of the Christmas War that many NBA hardcore fans were looking forward to also began.

One of them was the Cavaliers vs. Lakers, at the Cavaliers' home court.

The other was the Magic vs. Warriors, at the Warriors' home court.

Both games received a lot of attention, and they were evenly matched.

Because the home stadium for the Cavaliers and Lakers was set up at the Cavaliers' home court, the competition time was two hours earlier than the Warriors' game time. At

8 pm local time in Cleveland, the fans in the audience were crowded and lively.

Many people wore Christmas hats and even colorful clothes. Christmas trees and balloons were decorated in different places in the stadium, creating a festive atmosphere.

As fans waited eagerly, the starting players of the Cavaliers and Lakers also took to the court.

The starting five of the Cavaliers were: Mo Williams、JJ·Hickson, LeBron James, Anthony Parker, Shaquille O'Neal.

The starting five of the Lakers are: Derek Fisher, Kobe Bryant, Ron Artest, Pau Gasol, Andrew Bynum.

Kobe Bryant and Shaquille O'Neal, former comrades-in-arms, also hugged each other warmly on the court and exchanged simple greetings.

With the referee's whistle, the game officially began.

The centers of the two teams jumped the ball in the center circle, and"Little Shark" Bynum pushed the front wave and snatched the ball from the top of"Big Shark" O'Neal's head.

Kobe took the ball directly and quickly took it to the frontcourt.

Coming to the high position on the right side, Kobe seemed very excited at the beginning of the game, and he shot a fadeaway jump shot directly under LeBron's defense.

""Bang!"

The sound of a shot missing the target was heard, and Kobe missed his first shot at the start of the game.

""Little Emperor" LeBron directly grabbed the rebound and quickly launched a fast break, as if he was stepping on a hot wheel.

LeBron dribbled the ball directly into the three-point line, and Kobe on this side quickly chased and defended.

Facing Kobe's frontal defense, LeBron changed direction alone, faked a breakthrough and passed the ball quickly to Williams who was following up on the other side.

The latter received the ball and shot directly into the sky, steady.

Kobe looked solemn and unhappy, complaining that his teammates were too slow to return defense.

Next, the Lakers attacked, Kobe took the lead, singled out LeBron, and once again performed a beautiful fadeaway jumper on the right side.

The action was done in one go, but unfortunately, the ball still ended in irons.

""Bang!"

Kobe missed his second consecutive shot, and LeBron led the Cavaliers to a beautiful counterattack.

Lakers head coach Phil Jackson, who was sitting on the bench, was furious and immediately called a timeout.

He was not angry about Kobe's missed singles, but the Lakers' awareness and attitude of returning to defense.

After the timeout, the Lakers' overall performance was still poor, and Kobe's condition remained low.

As a result, at the end of the first quarter, the Cavaliers (26): (14) Lakers established a double-digit lead early.

After entering the second quarter, the Lakers' substitutes began to play, Shannon Brown broke out, and scored 8 points on the offensive end, helping the team to catch up to single digits.

But soon, the home team Cavaliers took the initiative again.

Mark Jackson and Jon Barry on the commentary desk also sighed.

"Kobe doesn't seem to be in good shape. I wonder if he is in a hurry to go home to spend time with his daughter and wife for Christmas, so he is not in the mood to play, haha!"

"LeBron's condition is also average, although he is much better than Kobe. Today's game, at least from the first half, does not seem to be as exciting as expected!"

The CCTV NBA broadcast room is broadcasting two Christmas games in a row, so the lineup of hosts and commentators is also very strong.

In addition to Wang Meng and Zhang, Yang Yi, Su Qun and others also gathered in the live broadcast room.

"The game between the Lakers and the Cavaliers seems to lack a bit of the flavor of a Christmas game. I wonder if it will be better in the second half!"

"If this game is not exciting, there is still the Warriors vs. Magic. I believe Su Mo will definitely bring us a different surprise in the Christmas game!"

The location switched to the Oracle Arena in Oakland. Fans have begun to enter the arena one after another.

Su Mo booked the third row of seats for Tang Xiaomo, Fatty Shi, Pete Zhang and Xiao Shutong. The view was very good.

Looking at Su Mo who was training with many players on the court, Tang Xiaomo, Fatty Shi and others were very excited.

"This position is so stunning, so close to the stadium. This is my first time to watch NBA in the United States. This feeling is too unreal!"

Fatty Shi touched the seat next to him and patted his fat face to make sure that all this was not an illusion.

Looking at the funny action of Fatty Shi next to him, the little book boy directly mocked:"Fatty, can you not be so old-fashioned and tell people that we are together!"

Peter Zhang pointed at the stadium and said excitedly:"Oh, look, isn't that Howard? I actually saw Howard, he is my idol, I really hope to get an autograph, if it is a photo, it would be even better!"

Tang Xiaomo pouted and said:"Huh, why do you want Howard's autograph? Now my brother Mo is the hottest star in the league, okay!"

There is still more than an hour and a half before the game officially starts. According to past experience, the Warriors and Magic game will basically start after the Lakers and Cavaliers game ends.

Most of the fans in the audience are following the situation of the other Christmas game through the text live broadcast on their mobile phones, and they are also discussing it.

"It's already the fourth quarter, and the Lakers are still trailing by 19 points. It seems the situation is not optimistic!"

"Kobe's performance in this game was indeed not very good. He only shot 4 out of 19 so far. It's probably normal to lose!"

In the end, the Cavaliers defeated the Lakers at home (95): (80) and won the Christmas game.
