By the time the Christmas dinner was over, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, Anna removed the staple food from the table, left the fruit, and brought some desserts and snacks after the meal, and a group of people sat around and chatted.

Gossip, gonzo, these topics always make people talk for a long time.

Duffy showed his eloquence to the fullest at this time, making a group of people laugh non-stop.

A few people chatted for a while, a little tired, and at this time, there was still some time before Christmas Eve, and everyone turned their attention to the TV.

I don't know what the tune is, the channel on the TV is ESPN, and it happens to be a special program at this time.

In the upper right corner of the show is the word "Replay", which is supposed to have been recorded earlier.

The familiar round table sits ESPN's three treasures, from left to right, Barkley, O'Neill, and Smith.

"Hello everyone and Merry Christmas! Welcome to ESPN's Christmas War feature, I'm your old friend Kenny. Smith was the first to speak.

"Merry Christmas!" O'Neill shouted.

"Why don't I like Christmas more and more now?" Barkley followed.

"Hey, Charles, that's because you're a year older in one Christmas." O'Neill said with a smile.

"Why are you talking about this kind of thing in front of an old man?" Smith said helplessly.

Smith's words immediately drew laughter from Barkley and O'Neal.

"I miss the gifts I gave us at Christmas when I was a kid, and a remote-controlled car could keep me entertained for half a semester." O'Neill followed.

"Are you sure? A remote-controlled car? That's enough for me to get high for a semester. Barkley said with a dark face.

Barkley's words made O'Neill laugh again.

Tang Shuai couldn't help laughing, although he was in a different country. But childhood experiences all seem to be very similar.

"Okay, let's get back to business. It's late at night, but I'm sure there are still a lot of fans waiting in front of the TV. Let's take a look at the results of the previous investigation on ESPN's Christmas game, let's first look at the first game, the Clippers vs. the Cavaliers. Smith followed.

"Oh my God! The NBA actually put the Cavaliers' game in the afternoon? It's crazy. O'Neill said with a look of surprise.

"Hey, Shaq, here's something that's going to shock you even more." As Smith spoke, the Cavaliers and Clippers predictions appeared in front of the display.

30% VS 70%, there are 70% of fans who think the Clippers will win in the end.

"Hey. Man, is this statistic wrong? Barkley had a grimace on his face.

Tang Shuai's eyes widened, and he also looked very surprised, from the expectation in his heart, the game with the Cavaliers was at most five or five.

"Shaq, what do you think of this outcome?" Smith threw the question at O'Neal.

O'Neill pondered for a while, and suddenly said, "Is this investigation done in Los Angeles?" ”

He didn't finish speaking. Immediately drew a burst of laughter from Barkley and Smith.

Tang Shuai couldn't help laughing out loud, O'Neill's humor cells are always so sufficient.

"Well, from the perspective of Emperor Qiu, this survey result is still reasonable and convincing. The Cavaliers' core guard Kyrie Irving has missed back-to-back games against the Spurs and Raptors due to a wrist injury, and the Cavaliers have also suffered two straight losses. The Clippers, on the other hand, have won back-to-back home games to usher in a six-game winning streak. The situation of the two teams can be said to be diametrically opposed. O'Neill followed with a decent analysis.

"You don't know the ball emperor enough to be professional enough." Barkley said with a serious face.

"Hey, Charles. You're questioning me! O'Neill feigned anger.

"Well, in fact, Shaq's analysis is probably what most fans think, but in fact, who is the opponent of the Cavaliers, there is Tim, okay, the Spurs that old guy is in, and the Raptors, who now occupy the second place in the East, these are all really strong teams, and then look at the opponents of the Clippers." Barkley said as he pulled out a list.

"The Houston Rockets who have been attacking but never learned to defend, that guy from Dwight is too soft now, James? He seems to care more about those plump buttocks than basketball, and then the Nets, oh ~ Pelicans, Timberwolves, these are some teams that are preparing for offseason fishing, although the Grizzlies are an opponent, but they are playing like a ball of this season, the last opponent, the Suns? The Clippers played the Suns to the last minute? This should be the strength of the Clippers right now. ”

"Okay, Charles, you won, but I'm still on the side of the fans and keep my opinion." O'Neill followed.

"Hey Charles, as an aside, did you notice that the Chinese kid became the starting point guard for the Clippers?" Smith suddenly interjected.

"Don't do that, Kenny, when are you going to really let me go." Barkley was about to argue with O'Neill for a while, but when he heard Smith talk about it, he couldn't help but hide his face.

"Hey, seriously, you saved that video, didn't you?" O'Neill suddenly said to Smith seriously.

"Charles. AVI, well, that's my file name. Smith said with a smile.

"Haha, you're really unique." O'Neill couldn't help but laugh.

Barkley put his face over the table, smiling no longer enough.

Smith is still very experienced in hosting, and he avoids a possible lengthy debate between O'Neal and Barkley by diverting the topic.

"Don, I'm afraid Barkley will accompany you throughout your career, just like Yao at the beginning." Seeing this, Duffy couldn't help but turn his head and say.

"It's not...... Isn't that good? Tang Shuai said with a smile.

Duffy smiled and kept his attention on the TV.

ESPN's special program continues, the results of the fan votes for the Christmas game are announced one by one, and in the following games, none of the predictions for the results exceed those of the Clippers and the Cavaliers, even if it is a game between the Rockets and the Lakers, only 60% of fans think the Rockets will win.

After this special program was over, Tang Shuai unconsciously looked up at the time again, there were only ten minutes left before Christmas Eve, he stood up and prepared to go outside to breathe.

After Barkley and the Bucks teased the predictions of the Clippers and Cavaliers, Duffy kept fiddling with his tablet, and when he saw Tang Shuai go out, he also stood up.

Tang Shuai walked outside, took a deep breath, and was touched by ESPN's amusing program, the original unpleasantness seemed to have disappeared, but somehow, his heart was empty.

"Don, show you something funny." At this moment, Duffy's voice came from behind him.

Tang Shuai said curiously: "What interesting things have you found again?" ”

"Just look at it."

Tang Shuai took the tablet and saw that it was a video, and unconsciously thought of the previous game with the Suns, the video of Honacek's interview, and couldn't help but say: "It's a video again?" It can't be related to Blatter, right? ”

Duffy didn't speak, just motioned for him to look.

He followed and clicked in.

What appeared in the picture was not the Cavaliers coach Blatter that Tang Shuai said, but the core of the Cavaliers, LeBron James, the spokesperson of the league. (To be continued.) )
