Chapter 199 [Two rookies, the relationship is suspicious]
The NBA is the only league in North America to have a game every year on Christmas Day, and the first Christmas game in history was scheduled in 1947, the year after the creation of the NBA.
Every year, the NBA selects several teams with gimmicks, stars, strong offensive power, and a large market to compete.
So, the Knicks who have participated in the most Christmas games are the Knicks, followed by the Lakers.
From 1950 to 1987, the New York Knicks appeared in the Christmas game for 38 consecutive years, but the Nets, who were also in the New York area, were not loved by fans and were rarely idle.
Before leaving New York for Christmas, Wang Jun sent gifts to both Theron and Abby - hardcover Lindt chocolates.
This is suggested by the neighbor Selma, the story of chocolate is "only for the one you love the most", and its silky touch, sweet and bitter, is like a sweet and small quarrel between lovers.
Abby stayed at the hotel and didn't accept things, so Wang Jun thought of a way to send the chocolates to James and asked him to help hand them over, sign and write a sweet message.
After the things were sent, Wang Jun felt that he was too smart, and when Abby went to interview James after the game, it was a small surprise to receive a gift.
On December 25, Wang Jun ordered his favorite Chinese takeaway, and watched the Cavaliers' game while eating.
Yao Ming also had a game tonight, but he didn't like the Rockets.
The Rockets players scored too scattered, and Francis, Mobley, and Yao Ming shared the ball, making it difficult to play super numbers. Especially the two guards on the outside of the rocket have a low shooting rate and rush to shoot, which is a headache to watch.
As a fan, Wang Jun prefers to watch the stars score. Look at individual heroism, even if you lose the game.
That's why the Magic's bottom record this year still attracts fans. That's what people are going to Maddie.
The game was extremely tight, and the two sides played an overtime. The Cavaliers lost 101-113 to the Magic on the road.
James had 34 points, 6 assists and 2 steals, playing star statistics.
He broke through very well, lacked accurate shooting, and his personal ability was still far behind Maddie.
Maddy had 41 points, 8 rebounds, 11 assists and 3 steals, played 50 minutes, shooting 15-of-29 and 5-of-9 three-pointers.
James can't stop Maddy, and the strength of the scoring champion is not blown.
Maddie participated in the Christmas War three times. In 2000, he played the Pacers, 43 points, 9 rebounds, 11 assists and 2 blocks; Played for the Pistons in '02, 46 points, 16 rebounds, 1 assist and 3 steals.
Coupled with this terrifying performance, Maddy's Christmas Battleground averaged 43.3 points, ranking first in NBA history.
On the other side, Kobe, who is as famous as Maddie, stole the limelight of the "Yao Shark Showdown".
He took more shots 26 times than Yao Ming and O'Neill combined, but unfortunately only made 9 ...... The Rockets won comfortably 99-87 on the road.
The Mavericks and Kings had an equally exciting game, with Nowitzki scoring 31 points, 14 rebounds and 5 assists, and Walker and Jamison both scoring 20+.
Five players on the Kings' side scored in double figures. Divac, Bibby 20+.
The Mavericks had the last laugh 111-103.
On Christmas Day, it is easy for stars to play well and get more attention, and Wang Jun vowed that if there is a game on Christmas, he will also shoot more. Aim for good numbers.
The next day, the news covered the Christmas War, as well as major lace news.
"James has a crush on ESPN female reporters. Chocolates after the Christmas War. ”
"The little emperor's love affair was exposed, and the female reporter was sexually touching."
"ESPN beauties steal the show. James is infatuated with the daughter of the famous Hornacek. ”
Watch the TV host put together a photo of James and Abby, and dig up Abby's information in detail. Wang Jun's mouth was open as if the big demon king of piccolo was about to spit out eggs......
Nima, I obviously have a signature, these bastard media don't look at who sent the chocolate and write nonsense?
It's true, but who can see it?
Those reporters can't grab the courier box to read the content of the message, right?
Those reporters only saw James giving Abby chocolate, can they not guess?
James was also confused, Wang Jun asked him to help transfer after the game, and he didn't know how to find a place where no one was.
Wang Jun called Abby in frustration.
"Hi, good morning." Abby said lazily.
"Good morning, the ...... Did you read the news? Wang Jun asked awkwardly.
"Look, you've really surprised me." Abby snorted twice, pretending to be angry.
Wang Jun was sweating. "I didn't mean to, I didn't expect the reporter to think it was sent by LeBron."
Abby smiled and said, "Don't scare you, I like this gift very much, it's a good thing that the media says so, thanks to the two of you for making such a show, I'm already popular." Now the search for my name online has surpassed that of Kristen Burset. ”
Kristen is a popular reporter on ESPN, known as the "beauty diva", and she has won the title of Miss Florida in the United States. In the process of covering the Baltimore Orioles, she has attracted many Orioles fans, and her show has become one of the must-see programs for the Orioles fans.
Abby's popularity is not comparable to that of Hollywood big-name actresses and music stars, but being the most popular among ESPN reporters is enough to make her career smooth in the future.
Wang Jun breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest. "I thought I had screwed up."
"It's a star, how can there be no scandals? It's only good for me, as long as someone interviews me and LeBron, let's clarify. You should be glad that the courier didn't bring the chocolate box to the media, that's really big news. ”
"Why?"
"You wrote a message with your name and sent it to LeBron, but you didn't mention my name. The media may make headlines when they see it, with the headline 'Wang Jun sends chocolates to James on Christmas Eve, and the relationship between the two rookies is in doubt.' 'Hahaha. Abby burst out laughing.
Wang Jun sweated wildly. If you give your girlfriend a box of chocolates, but are suspected by the media of "coming out", it is definitely a shadow that he and James can't get rid of in their lives.
Abby laughed for a while and said, "I like your gift very much, don't think too much, play well, I have to be in Cleveland next, if you see the scandal between me and LeBron, don't be jealous." ”
"Hmm."
Wang Jun will not be jealous. James is richer, yes, but than the image, if a normal girl chooses one of the two to fall in love, how can she choose James?
The game continued on the 26th, and the Cavaliers defeated the Hornets back-to-back home games.
That same night, the Nets beat the Bulls by 24 points.
Wang Jun only scored 10 points and 3 rebounds, not because he played abnormally, but because the opponent was too weak, he only played 20 minutes and left work.
The Bulls had a poor lineup and were plagued by injuries, a group of bench games, and rookie Hinrich was the core of the court.
The Nets took the opportunity to practice, and all 12 players in the squad played.
Veteran Robert Pike scored 10 points and Korver set multiple personal highs, playing 24 minutes and making three three-pointers to score 13 points.
That night, the Nets flew to Indiana to challenge the Pacers back-to-back.
Since playing the Bulls is effortless, there is no problem with the physical strength of the Nets players.
The Pacers are currently in first place in the East with 21-9, two more games than the 18-10 Nets.
As long as this win is a tie and the two teams lose 10 games, the Nets will be very close to the first place in the East.
The Nets' current goal in the regular season is to compete for the first place, and it will be very advantageous to enter the playoffs, and no team wants to meet the Pistons in advance, which is a hard nut to crack, and it takes a lot of effort to win.
The Pacers also don't want to touch the Pistons early, and the two sides have already played one game in the regular season, and the Pacers lost. (To be continued.) )
