Malone missed the Christmas game due to injury.

The Lakers' state has been ups and downs this season. In addition to the irreconcilable conflicts between Kobe and O'Neal, there is Malone's injury.

Malone barely missed games in his previous career, which is why he was nicknamed "The Postman".

But when he arrived in Los Angeles, he didn't know if he was under a spell or something. He had already missed seven or eight games on and off after only two months into the season.

That's great news for the Mavericks.

Taking the opportunity to win the Lakers can build a psychological advantage.

After all, this is the F4 Lakers, and there is a qualitative difference in paper strength from last season's team.

On Christmas Day, the fans were all looking forward to it, and the Christmas battles started one after another.

The first Wizards vs. Bulls game attracted hundreds of millions of Chinese fans to watch.

In the end, the Wizards relied on their overall strength to beat the Bulls 112-97.

For the Wizards, Yao Ming had 30 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 2 blocks, Arenas had 22 points and 9 assists, and Hamilton had 15 points and 5 rebounds.

For the Bulls, Francis had 26 points, 5 rebounds and 6 assists, and Yi Jianlian had 21 points and 7 rebounds.

The result of this game also made domestic fans excited.

Both Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian played very well.

This game is also a microcosm of the two seasons.

After Jordan retired, Yao Ming has gradually become the boss of the Wizards. Even Arenas came to assist him.

And Yi Jianlian has continued his excellent form since the preseason. So far this season, he has averaged 15.5 points and 7.5 rebounds per game, making him the player in the Eastern Conference after Anthony.

Especially after entering December, his condition is even better than Anthony.

After the Yao Yi duel, the game between the Pacers and the Pistons will start immediately.

The two teams fought a defensive battle, and the scene was extremely shocking. The fans of the Palace of Auburn Hills seemed to be watching a heavyweight boxing match.

There is also constant friction on the court.

In the end, the Pacers beat the Pistons 79 to 73 away.

Anthony's performance was sluggish, scoring only 16 points on 6 of 22 shots.

Pistons general manager Joe Thomas also watched the game from the sidelines.

After reading it, his first thought was that the team needs reinforcement.

After being studied by the opponent, it is normal for Anthony to be double-teamed.

This is also the reason for Anthony's sluggish performance.

In other words, the Pistons now need reinforcements for a second scoring point with independent scoring ability.

The two Christmas battles in the East are over, followed by the West.

Timberwolves vs. Nuggets.

The result of this game was unexpected.

After the Timberwolves form the three-headed monster, their offensive and defensive strengths are balanced, and they should be relatively easy to play against the Nuggets.

But in fact, after James and the Nuggets slowly merged, he has begun to redeem his talents very quickly.

In addition, the strength of other Nuggets players is not weak.

In the end, led by James with 27 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, the Nuggets defeated the Timberwolves 116-106, giving Denver fans a big surprise on Christmas Eve.

This also made the fans sigh with emotion for the 03 generation.

Originally, there was a saying in the draft that "the No. 2 pick must have a drop", but the season has reached the present, let alone the No. 2 pick. If the Knicks hadn't been lax in the draft every day, the performance of the top ten picks this year would have matched their picks. .

Platinum generation, as the name suggests.

After the game between the Nuggets and Timberwolves is over, the last game, which is also the game that fans are most concerned about, the Mavericks against the Lakers, will be officially staged at the Staples Center.

The media also created enough momentum before the game.

After Adidas announced his abandonment of Kobe in the summer, Nike quickly recruited Kobe.

The current match between Sun Hao and Kobe, just like the previous 23VS95, is also a duel between the Nike and Adidas camps.

Of course, in addition to this, the entanglement between the Lakers and the Mavericks in the past few seasons is as inextricable and chaotic as the Mavericks and the Spurs.

Fans are naturally looking forward to such a game.

Before the start of the game, the two teams warm up before the game.

Sun Hao deliberately looked towards the Lakers half court.

Kobe and O'Neal are very far away. This is already broken, and they don't care what the outside world thinks of them.

Sun Hao feels sorry for O'Neill.

Kobe is paranoid and immature now.

And the most important thing is Xia Tian's sentence "Shaq did it too", and I don't know if O'Neill kneeled on the washboard when he returned home.

Kobe also looked haggard. Although Vasani stood by his side in the summer and gave him enough encouragement, the investigation of the Eagle County incident is still going on.

He is now at three o'clock and one line, running back and forth between home, Staples Center, and the court.

Even if his spirit is very strong, if he continues like this, he is on the verge of limit.

Vasani also brought her children to the scene to cheer for Kobe.

What Vasani did this summer really made fans look up to her.

However, Sun Hao noticed that Karl Malone was sitting next to Vasani.

The "postman", who was absent due to injury, came to work on the sidelines.

Of course, Sun Hao didn't know the background of this matter.

Malone sits next to Vasani for a range of reasons.

After Malone came to Luoshan, Vasani had a very close relationship with Malone's wife Kai.

The two often bring their children to the scene to cheer for their respective husbands.

But tonight, Kai asked Malone to bring the child because he was not feeling well.

And on the phone, Kai said that he wanted Vasani to help take care of the child, so he asked Malone to sit with her.

Of course, these are just some episodes before the game.

After completing the warm-up, the game started soon, and the two teams started to play one after another.

On the Lakers side, Payton, Kobe, Rick Fox, Stanislav Medvedenko, O'Neal.

Malone couldn't play, and Medvedenko replaced him as the starting power forward.

This player, who had more fouls than points, has made rapid progress this summer. He just won the competition with "Glasses" Grant and occupied the position of the main rotation.

The Mavericks are still the regular Five Tigers.

The game started quickly, and Kobe was attacking as soon as he came up.

After Payton and Malone joined the Lakers, OK's shooting rights were naturally divided.

But even so, Bryant still averaged 19 shots per game.

Kobe played very well tonight, hitting Bell's shot for the first time.

Kobe's choices often make people want to scold his mother, such as "double-teaming is open" that is often ridiculed by fans, but sometimes you have to admit that his strong shooting ability is really strong.

Even in terms of light ratio and strong shooting, his ability may be better than Jordan.

Kobe has a good touch, and the Lakers' offense is also playing smoothly.

What Phil Jackson's triangle offense wants is singles.

Being able to score the ball, everything else is secondary.

More than 7 minutes into the first quarter, the score on the court was 16 to 13, and the Lakers took the lead.

The Mavericks played half of the offensive time and had no chance. Johnson called a timeout.

"Carl, why are you wearing jeans and a hat?"

Vanessa was sitting in the middle of the front row, and Sun Hao heard her voice when he left the stage.

Sun Hao turned his head and took a look, and saw that Vasani was chatting with Ma Long out of boredom.

There are many topics between women and women, but between men who don't communicate much, the topics are really limited.

This is the timeout of the game, and Vanessa randomly finds topics.

But Malone's next answer was surprising.

"Because I'm fishing for Mexican chicks."

Malone smiled and looked at Vasani when he spoke.

At this moment, Vasani's face changed.

She is of Mexican descent, and because of this identity, her wedding with Kobe attracted countless people's opposition, and even made Kobe break with his parents.

So this topic can be said to be very sensitive.

And regardless of whether Malone's words were teasing her, or simply saying that he wanted to catch other Mexican girls, Vasani felt offended.

The scene was once awkward.

Ma Long also seemed to realize that he had said the wrong thing, he smiled and turned his head embarrassingly.

Sun Hao also went from the court to the bench.

Sun Hao has heard some of the conflicts between Kobe and Malone in history.

For example, when Kobe was selected for the first time in the All-Star Game in 1998, when Malone was going to set up a pick-and-roll for Kobe, the fledgling Kobe said the words "put away your damn pick-and-roll, I want to single out Michael" .

At that time, Malone was actually a little unhappy with Kobe, a kid. You must know that he was in the heyday at that time, second only to Jordan.

It also includes the subsequent conflict between Malone and Kobe in the Lakers, which has something to do with Vasani.

Of course, Sun Hao didn't gossip so much in his previous life, so he doesn't know exactly what happened.

Now he can be regarded as participating in it.

He couldn't help turning his head to look over there again.

He saw Ma Long reached out and hugged Vasani, then got up and left the auditorium.

This is also understandable, after Vasani was offended by himself inadvertently, it is already inappropriate for him to stay on the scene.

Pause back, the game continues.

Sun Hao came back and found Medvedenko in a misplaced position. After shaking, he suddenly hit a three-pointer with a cold arrow to help the Mavericks equalize.

But in the next round, Kobe hit Bell with his back, turned and leaned back, and made a difficult shot.

After the goal, Kobe smiled and pointed to Vasani while retreating.

In the past summer, everyone stood on his opposite side, but Vasani was on his side, which made the relationship between the two continue to heat up.

In fact, after Vasani did that, Kobe bought her a diamond ring worth 4 million immediately.

Vasani forced a smile, she was still brooding over Malone's previous words.

The two teams played extremely anxiously, and the Mavericks have been catching Medvedenko to play.

Malone's absence is the best breakthrough for the Mavericks.

On the Lakers side, Kobe was in excellent form and kept scoring in singles.

The two teams have been playing until the last moment to see the outcome.

Payton steals Bell's fast-break layup to help the Lakers take a key 1-point lead.

Nowitzki missed a three-pointer at the top of the arc, and the Mavericks fouled O'Neal.

O'Neal made one of two free throws at the free throw line, which gave the Mavericks a chance.

In the end, Sun Hao gave the ball to Finley in a double-team, and the latter hit a three-pointer.

The Mavericks finally passed 101 to 100 thrillingly.

The Pistons once before, and now the Lakers once, the Mavericks have really good luck this season.

After the game, the Mavericks gathered around Finley to celebrate.

Last season because of Bodi Loga, Finley played as a substitute for most of the season. After returning to the starting lineup this season, he was "bullied" by rookies of the 03 generation in turn.

This lore shot made him take a good breath of "bad air".

On the Lakers side, O'Neal and Payton hurried off the court shortly after completing the handshake.

The Lakers formed F4 to regain the championship, but there are too many internal problems.

Of course, internal problems are the problem. Even so, even if Malone didn't play, the Lakers and the Mavericks fought to the last moment, which shows the strength of this team.

Kobe scored 37 points tonight, and he was the only one who didn't leave the game immediately.

Of course, this time it's not that he wants to stay and continue training or something, but because Vasani and his daughter are on the sidelines.

He smiled and greeted them.

It was at this moment that he noticed that Vasani's complexion was not very good.

Vasani pulled him and said something, and Kobe's face became ugly.

What should come will always come, and the "Hollywood drama" of the Lakers continues to be staged.

But these are not what Sun Hao and Mavericks care about now.

Having won the Christmas battle, they can happily go back to Dallas for Christmas.

This year's Christmas, Scarlett's parents directly invited him to spend it at home.

According to this rhythm, Sun Hao and Scarlett are not far away from achieving a positive result.

Of course, Sun Hao was not stingy at all, and bought Scarlett's parents a Mercedes-Benz sports car for Christmas.

What, middle-aged people don't like to drive sports cars?

That's not his concern.

He sent it, and that's the point.

This can be seen from the smiles on the faces of Scarlett's parents, he sent it completely fine.

After Christmas, Sun Hao continued to play with the Mavericks for the season.

By the end of December, the league also announced some awards for December.

Western Conference Coach of the Month went to Avery Johnson for the second consecutive month.

Facts have proved that the old Nelson really found himself an excellent successor.

The best player of the month in the Western Conference was also won by Sun Hao.

Sun Hao averaged 27.6 points and 4.7 assists per game in December, and his three-point shooting percentage was as high as 47%.

This data is even better than his November.

With Nowitzki intentionally or unintentionally creating more scoring opportunities for him, Sun Hao is gradually consolidating his status as the top five shooting guards.

The best rookie of the month in the Western Conference was won by James without any suspense. The latter averaged 22+5+5 data per game, which is already a standard All-Star data.

In the East, the best coach of the month was won by Carlisle of the Pacers, and the best player of the month belonged to Yao Ming of the Wizards.

Yao Ming averaged 23.2 points, 10.2 rebounds and 2.1 blocks per game in December, and his shooting percentage was as high as 58%.

Dampier relied on his words, while Yao Ming relied on practical actions to illustrate the fact that he is already the second center in the league.

The best rookie of the month in the Eastern Conference was won by Yi Jianlian!

In December, he averaged 17.1 points, 8.3 rebounds and 1.8 blocks per game, shooting 48% from the field.

Anthony's defensive data declined in December, but Yi Jianlian's performance went further after entering December.

One ebbs and another, Yi Jianlian finally snatched the best of the month from Anthony!

Sun Hao, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian.

Chinese players ushered in a bumper harvest of honors in December!

ps: ask for a monthly pass, brothers!
