Chapter Sixty-Eight: A Light Christmas War

Beating the Rockets isn't a big deal, and it's not news that LeBron James has 27 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists.

But this game, the ratings in China exceeded 200 million.

It's unclear how true that figure is, but there is no doubt that after this game, the league once again saw the power of Chinese fans.

The most obvious change is that next to the Cavaliers' home court, there are many more Chinese ads.

The Cavaliers were very happy about this.

This is an unexpected income.

For Qin Yang, this match did not bring much change to himself. Rest, Training, Competition, Rest, Training, Competition...... It's a cyclical process.

In a foreign country, Qin Yang persevered like this.

Of course, it's not without changes.

Like, Christmas is here.

Christmas is one of the most significant holidays in the United States, and on this day, almost every American goes shopping, eats a big meal, and rests.

But for NBA players, Christmas means games.

The Christmas War is very much watched in the League.

Even the teams that are even a little bit worse don't get the chance to play Christmas at all.

The Cavaliers get a lot of attention as a small city team because of James, and the opponent in the Christmas game is the Wizards.

After a day off, the Christmas war came.

This game is actually very boring, although the Cavaliers claim to attach great importance to this game, but within the team, they do not pay much attention to the opponent of the Wizards.

This season, the core of the Wizards, one of the three outside guns, General Arenas, is out for the season and has played less than ten games, and in this situation, it is difficult for the Wizards to pose a big threat to the Cavaliers.

Arenas, who has been on fire for three seasons, was supposed to have a showdown of the century with the Cavaliers this season's Christmas, but who knew it would be in vain.

But after the first quarter, the Cavaliers trailed by 2 points.

Nothing is impossible in the NBA.

Caron Butler against James, was suppressed in all directions, and the performance gap was very large, and it stands to reason that the only person on the Wizards team who can stand up is Antoine Jamison.

But the Wizards' role players were in excellent form in this game, hitting one after another.

In the first quarter, James mainly assisted, but his teammates hit iron one after another, and he was obviously a little careless.

It wasn't until Qin Yang came on the court in the second quarter that the form changed.

No one wants to play a defense-oriented game in the Christmas war, and the Cavaliers are not only going to win on their home court, but also to win beautifully.

Originally, before the league re-season, the plan was for the showdown between the big general Arenas and LeBron James, but now that the gimmick is gone, it is already embarrassing.

During the break, the coach gave instructions:

"This game played a smooth offensive coordination and played beautifully, otherwise would you let the fans watch a defensive game on Christmas?"

When Coach Brown said this, the rest of the team was happy.

But Qin Yang didn't say anything: "How did the coach change his character, hasn't he always focused on defense?" ”

After saying this, Coach Brown looked at Qin Yang and said, "Bruce, you control the ball more in this game, pay attention to passing the ball more, and play a wonderful match." ”

"Yes sir."

Qin Yang replied yes.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Qin Yang directly broke through the defenders, attracted the defense after entering the basket, and assisted James to dunk a score.

The ball was just the beginning, and the Cavaliers' scoring frenzy soon began.

Mo Williams hit a mid-range shot, Big Z scored a low-post layup, Delonte West hit a three-point shot, and Qin Yang hit a long-range three-point shot.

On a 16-7 run, the Cavaliers not only moved back to the score, but also widened the gap.

The Wizards' lineup is flawed, slow on the outside and not hard enough on the inside.

In other words, the Wizards are a lineup of real five swing guards, almost all of them are a combination of forwards and guards, and they are strong to some extent, but as long as they are caught with weaknesses, it is a very easy fat beating.

Aside from Antoine Jamison causing some trouble for the Cavaliers, normal games are in the rhythm of the Cavaliers.

In this game, Qin Yang got 13 points and 14 assists, and the Cavaliers blossomed more, with Mo Buchuan and James scoring 20+, Delonte West scoring 15+, in addition to two people scoring 10+ points, and four people scoring more than 5 points, almost all members of the Cavaliers played well.

The Christmas battle passed in a hurry, and after a two-day break, the game resumed.

The Cavaliers host the Heat.

The day before the competition, Qin Yang rarely reduced his training and went to the hotel for a party.

When he first arrived at the hotel, Qin Yang saw a player at the door, this player had tattoos, his expression was arrogant, and he was far away from the other players.

"Bruce, here."

James shouted loudly from afar, with a smile on his face.

Qin Yang walked up quickly and greeted the others.

"Dwayne, this is Bruce, the best rookie of the year." James pulled Qin Yang to make an introduction, which made Qin Yang's heart feel dark.

James is a man and a talker.

"I know, you're good, and I was just about the same as you in my first year." Wade said with a smile and shook hands with Qin Yang.

"Thanks, you know, I have good teammates." Qin Yang also made a joke.

This good teammate refers to LeBron James.

The three of them immediately burst into laughter, and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

The party started quickly, with almost all the Heat and Cavaliers players coming. Qin Yang also knows a lot of players, gibbon Sean Marion, Cook who is good at three-point shooting, Haslem who was drafted and mixed into the team's starter, former NCAA champion point guard Mario Money, etc.

But when Qin Yang saw Michael Beasley, the leader of this year's draft, he found that this person was the player who disdained him at the door.

"You're Bruce, the best rookie of the year?"

Beasley walked over with a smile on his face.

A few cores such as James and Wade were not there, and others did not dare to speak up.

Beasley is the league's top pick, and in any case, his status is much higher than the average player.

Qin Yang was slightly unhappy and said, "Who told you?" Best rookie, are you talking about best rookie? I think that's Derrick Rose's stuff. Besides, do you care a lot about these things? ”

Beasley was slightly stunned, and said angrily:

"Derrick Rose, no, the Rookie of the Year is definitely mine."

"If you want to, you can fight for it, I don't want to, what I want to do is to be a superstar, and as for the best rookie, so what."

Qin Yang didn't care at all about expressing his goal.

Beasley's face was stunned, but he felt bored.

"You're interesting!" Beasley smiled and said an ambiguous word, Qin Yang pursed his lips: "You are very boring." ”

"Haha!"

Beasley laughed and handed over a cigarette, "Why don't you give it a try?" ”
