Chapter 536: The Christmas War

“GO――76ERS!!!”

The DJ shouted, the fans stirred, and the lights on the scene were unpredictable, and all kinds of lights and shadows were constantly flickering, projecting on the floor, making the fans who watched the game for the first time even a little dizzy.

Before the lively appearance ceremony began, the latest NBA Christmas War promotional video was played on the big screen in the center. The hottest stars in the league have all appeared in the promotional video.

In overseas markets, the NBA will also release local versions of promotional videos on special festivals, such as the Chinese New Year. Most of these promos are well-conceived and interesting, and they also feature local fans' favorite stars. If nothing else, let's just say that the gap in the production concept of the advertising campaign is enough for the domestic league to work hard to catch up.

And for Christmas, the most important holiday in the United States, and the most important holiday in all Christian countries, the promotional film produced by the NBA is naturally even more generous.

Kobe, LeBron, Paul, Howard, Smalls, Nash, Anthony, Garnett...... And so on and so forth, the stars all appeared on the promotional video.

However, as soon as the promotional video was played, it attracted boos from the fans.

This boo was not only from the local Philadelphia 76ers fans, but also from the Mavericks fans who came from afar to watch the game.

The reason is simple, no one in the 76ers and Mavericks was selected to shoot the promo.

Of course, whether to shoot a promotional video or not is a very indifferent matter for the players. Even most of the players don't like to shoot promotional videos at all, and when the official comes to call, the boss is still unhappy!

But whether he can be selected to shoot a Christmas promo is the best verification of a star's popularity.

In terms of popularity, Chen Mu is absolutely explosive now, but he was not selected for the promotional film shooting plan. This made Philadelphia fans very unhappy.

On the Mavericks' side, Dirk has always been relatively low-key, but in the eyes of Maverick fans, Dirk is their anchor, and the official approach has also caused them to be very dissatisfied.

“BOOOOOOOO――!”

In the row of seats closest to the arena on the sidelines, a middle-aged fat man looked particularly excited. While booing loudly, he kept waving and encouraging the fans to boo together.

Mark Cuban, perhaps one of the most fanatical owners in the NBA, also came to Philadelphia with the team.

After the promotional video was played and the players' entrance ceremony began, the boos stopped at once, and were replaced by endless cheers.

This cheer came to the highest point when Chen Mu came out in the last finale, and the fans in the stadium shouted Chen Mu's surname as if they were pilgrimage. Now in Philadelphia fan circles, if you can't pronounce Chen Mu's Chinese name. I'm embarrassed to say hello.

“DIRK-RULES!”

Cuban and a small wave of Mavericks fans around him spared no effort to disagree when Chen Mu appeared. Chen Mu didn't care about this situation, but said hello to Kuban with a smile, and before the opening, he came to the front of Kuban's seat, and talked and laughed with Kuban and didn't know what to say.

"Okay, the game is about to start. We saw Philadelphia master Chan, talking to Mavericks owner Mark Cuban on the sidelines. Don't know what they're talking about! ”

On this day, the golden combination of Barkley and Smith naturally went to the scene to explain the 23 VS 24th century battle between the Cavaliers and the Lakers. The people who came to the scene to explain the game between Philadelphia and Dallas were also old acquaintances.

"Reggie, this game reminds me of some of your classic matches!" Veteran commentator Marfo Albert spoke: "Although Philadelphia and Dallas are not mortal enemies, there has been news that Cuban wants to win over the Chinese boys. Or make the collision of these two teams full of highlights. ”

"Add that to that that offseason, both the Mavericks and the 76ers had a lot of contact with Coach Carlisle in the offseason. In the end, it was Philadelphia who got the advantage and got the coach they wanted. The Mavericks' pursuit of Carlisle failed, and they finally chose to let assistant coach Dwayne Casey be the head coach. ”

Albert provided background information: "Coach Casey has been in the NBA coaching circle for more than a decade and is an extremely experienced coach. But most of the time. He's an assistant coach for the team. Beginning in the 1994-1995 season and continuing through the 2004-2005 season, Coach Casey served as an assistant coach with the Seattle SuperSonics. During this period, he has experienced the Finals journey of Payton and Kemp, and also experienced the super three-point musket era of Ray Allen, Lewis and others. ”

"It can be said that the ups and downs of the previous decade of the supersonic are inseparable from the efforts of Coach Casey. After that, Casey went to the Timberwolves as a head coach for a year and a half, but his record was not very good, and he was finally fired in the middle of the season. After that, he came to Dallas. ”

"The fight for the coach is also one of the grievances between the two teams. Especially now that Coach Carlisle has brought a radical change to the Philadelphia 76ers, Cuban sees this scene, and it is estimated that the root of his hatred will be bitten off! ”

That's true, and many fans are discussing who is the offensive king of the current NBA's No. 4 position. We know that in terms of defense and rebounding, Dirk definitely can't compare with Chen, but in terms of offense, Dirk is a king. Reggie Miller nodded: "That's one of the reasons I'm looking forward to this fight, we all want to see who can beat whom." ”

"That's right, the two strongest interior scorers in the league both have offensive range as far as the three-point line, and their firepower is staggering." Albert continued: "German tanks, against Chinese tanks, Dirk's offensive range is wider, his long-range shooting is sharper, he is experienced, and his back is now terrible." Although the Chinese kid has three-point ability, he is not at the same level as Dirk, but if he is only on his back, the Chinese kid is not afraid of anyone. ”

"Don't talk about that, if you look at the average points per game of the two now, Dirk can average 26 per game. With 7 points, he ranks second among interior players, and not far behind him, Amare averages 25 per game. 9 points are on the horizon. Miller did a lot of homework, looked at the information and said, "No. 1 in interior scoring? Chinese kids, of course! ”

"Hehe, not only is he the No. 1 player in the league in average points per game, but he is also the No. 1 among all players in the league!"

With Albert's words, a technical statistic was projected onto the television screen.

"This is the scoring list so far this season, and the Chinese kid can average 31 per game. 6 points, ranking first in the league. He was followed by LeBron James, who averaged 30 per game. 7 points, not much difference with the Chinese kid. ”

"Ma Fu, you have to notice that the Chinese kid only plays about 35 minutes per game, and LeBron plays more than 40 minutes. Although this has something to do with the position of the two and the team's system, when it comes to scoring explosiveness, I vote for the Chinese boy! Miller said.

These two young people are also the most feared all-round superstars in the league at present, in addition to scoring, Chen also occupies the top spot in the rebounding list without any suspense. Many people say that we are witnessing a new era of rebounding maniacs, and Chinese boys can create an era! Albert also admires Chen Mu.

"Okay, the referee is ready to serve in the middle circle, Chen and Cuban are still talking, haha, I don't know what the two of them said, can they talk for so long!" Miller laughed.

"I guess it's trash talk." Albert laughed: "The Chinese kid doesn't talk much, but Mark is a master of trash talk, although he is not a player, but the level of trash talk among the bosses, Mark is the best!" ”

On the sidelines, the fans close to Cuban heard the conversation between the two, but they were full of black lines.

"Chen, come to Dallas, I'll give you a big contract, a super big contract, and I'll give you a house, a car, and a girl, I'll give you whatever you want! As long as you come, the inside line formed by you and Dirk will blow up the whole league! Kuban looked sincere, and Chiguoguo was wooed.

"I know, I know." Chen Mu replied with a smile: "But that's why I can't come, if I team up with Dirk, how can other teams play?" We can't win 10 in a row? ”

"Ten wins in a row is not enough, so I told Dirk to let him play for a few more years. Your combination will play until 2020, let's take him for 20 consecutive championships, let LeBron and them all **** go! "Kuban is an IT background, and he doesn't seem to be good at math.

"Then you're going to talk to Stefansky?" Chen Mu couldn't help laughing.

"He's so brainless, he won't agree! Believe it or not, if I say I want you, he will definitely answer: 'Take Dirk in exchange!' 'I'm not going to be confused then?? "Cuban is also a straight guy, what do you have to say.

"I'm here, who's the boss? I? Or Dirk? Chen Mu actually had a serious discussion.

"If you can't, the boss will let Josh Howard do it." Cuban looked serious, and no one knew if he was joking.

"Haha, Josh? Why? Chen Mu was amused by Cuban's brain hole.

"Because he's ugly! Our calves are good-looking, and they can't compare to the most handsome, so let's find the ugliest one to be the boss! ”

All the fans in the vicinity passed out......

Hala is over, the game is on!

The basketball was thrown into the air, and Dampier was once bullied enough by Chen Mu, but he was very good, and he jumped the ball successfully and got the ball for the Mavericks.

“SLOW-THE-TEMPO!”

The old point guard Kidd got the ball and began to advance, and the strategy given in the opening game was to attack and defend slowly in the half.

The difference between the two teams is very clear and the contrast is strong. In terms of athleticism, I am afraid that only a few teams in the league such as the Suns and Thunder can compare with Philadelphia. The 76ers have two flyers, Iguodala and Carney, and there are also jumpers like Chen Mu and Jordan Jr. on the inside, and their athleticism is not covered.

And what about the Mavericks?

Counting around, the Maverick's most athletic is Gerard Green, which doesn't sound too bad.

Then the second most athletic ability is ...... Belch...... Brandon Bass??

"In that case, let's start with athleticism and take the initiative as soon as possible after the opening!"

Carlisle's pre-game arrangement was still in his ears, and Chen Mu stared at Dirk's position and had a plan in his heart.

Pass!

Kidd sent a striking pass, the basketball went to Dirk, and once he relied on the right position, the independent action of the Golden Rooster of the famous league appeared.

Chen Mu flew up. (To be continued.) )

PS: Everyone brainstorms, leave a good nickname!
