Reverse Growth Superstar

On December 25th, today's game between the Grizzlies and the Heat will not start until nine o'clock. Because the Christmas Wars are all "series", one game starts immediately after the other.

The purpose of this is very simple, so that fans can watch all the games at the same time without interfering with each other. In order to maximize the benefits, these are the normal operations of the league.

Therefore, throughout the day today, the Grizzlies players are in a state of physical tension. Obviously it is Christmas, but nothing else can be done, which makes the players very frustrated.

Fortunately, although everyone has to work today, Robert Pera has created a warm Christmas atmosphere for the players.

At the entrance of the Federal Express Arena, a large Christmas tree was placed, and a giant Santa Claus inflatable doll was hung on the outer wall of the stadium.

In the dressing room, Pella also prepared Christmas gifts for the players. As soon as Link walked into the dressing room today, he saw a pile of gift boxes on the floor. There are greeting cards on the gift boxes with the names of the players and Pella’s wishes to the players.

The content of each greeting card is different. It can be seen that Pella has really written carefully one by one.

After Link opened the gift box, he found it was a PS4 game console. Everyone's gifts are the same, they are all PS4 game consoles.

Link smiled, Pella was really interested. Yes, it is 2013. The PS4 game console was only released in November 2013. At this time, this is a very fresh digital product.

But for Link, PS4 is not too cutting-edge stuff, he has played it for several years! But fortunately, he won't have to be ruined by that backward game screen in the future.

In addition to the owner Pella, several big brothers of the Grizzlies also brought gifts to their teammates.

Mike Miller bought a scarf for his teammates alone, which is very warm and practical.

Randolph bought a box of cigars for everyone, which was in line with his temperament.

Link also brought gifts for everyone-Link generation basketball shoes with Christmas color matching.

The price of this limited-edition Christmas color-matched sneaker is already about five times the original price, and money may not necessarily be available because many people prefer to keep it for their own collection. After all, this is the commemoration of Link's first Christmas war.

Link's high popularity has made this shoe be snapped up after it has been sold, and it is very difficult to get on the market. So even for professional players, this pair of shoes is also very collectible.

It is estimated that P.J. Tucker, who is currently playing for the Suns, is crying. This shoe-loving guy must think that being Link’s teammate is the happiest thing in the world.

On the whole, the atmosphere in the locker room before the game is quite relaxed. Apart from no Christmas dinner, it basically means spending Christmas with my family lively.

To Link, these brothers are equivalent to his family. Everyone gathered in the locker room to watch other games, talking and laughing, this kind of Christmas Eve is also good.

Two hours before the start of the game, Link received a text message from Rachel. It seems that Rachel has also arrived at the Federal Express Arena.

Since this season, after the new show hosted by Rachel and Grant Hill, Rachel’s popularity has soared.

Now, Rachel is already a popular hostess. As a reporter, she will naturally be sent to the scene to conduct interviews.

In this Christmas battle, ESPN recruited the popular queen Rachel as a sideline reporter. Therefore, today Link is about to spend a Christmas Eve with Rachel in a different way.

After another half an hour, everyone gradually stopped joking. The locker room quieted slowly, and then everyone's eyes were fixed on Link, their young leader.

"Huh, it's time to warm up." Link took a deep breath and stood up.

"This year is the first Christmas game in the history of the Grizzlies. Of course, it is also the first time most of the guys in our group have played Christmas games. Seriously, if you told someone two years ago, the Grizzlies Will fight the Christmas battle, he must think you are sick and very sick. The Memphis Grizzlies are fighting the Christmas battle? Just those few third-rate guys, who would pay to watch them fight the Christmas battle? As a result, we Not only was the Christmas game played, but it was also the finale in the Christmas game! Not only did some people spend money to watch the game, but the tickets were all sold out."

When Link said this, everyone laughed.

"We have never followed the path others gave us. We have never been the protagonist, but we have been defeating the protagonist. Today, LeBron James wants to be ashamed here. He wants to prove that the Heat are still the first heir to the championship. . Then we will let them remember what happened in the Federal Express Arena half a year ago! Let’s go guys, this is our Christmas Eve, let’s go to the party!"

"Roar!" After Link finished speaking, the Grizzlies players jumped up, yelling like a group of bandits and all followed Link out of the locker room.

The locker room was "emptied" in an instant, leaving only the debris on the floor, and the three coaches of Georgel, Snyder and Turner.

"Did you see it? I said that losing to the Knicks will not have any impact on the team." Georgel smiled and spread his hands. He didn't say a word, and the emotions of the players were all affected by Lin. Gram mobilized.

Being the head coach of a team that owns Link is simply too easy.

"With him, the Grizzlies will never have to worry about morale issues. Let's go, we should also play." Snyder tidied up his suit, and he couldn't wait to see how Link would show his All-Star. The strength of the ticket king!

Although it was late, the fans were still very enthusiastic when the players from both sides played.

"Welcome to the Federal Express Arena, this game is a continuation of the finals of last season! Of course, it is very likely to be a preview of this season's finals! No matter what kind, today, we will have an unforgettable night !"

Mike Brin's voice made countless fans instantly enter the state. This veteran commentator has witnessed countless classic moments with fans. Where he is, the game will generally be very exciting!

James and Wade looked at Link and both smiled. Wade even came up and hugged Link friendly.

In the 90s, it was almost impossible for you to see Jordan and Isaiah Thomas so friendly, and don't expect Karl Malone to smile hippiely in front of Jordan.

But in the 21st century, the relationship between players of two different teams is no longer just a hostile relationship, which instead makes the NBA's network of relationships more complicated and interesting.

"What do you mean by Merry Christmas? Stop pretending, I know your words are not just literal." After the hug, Wade asked his biggest question in the past two days.

"I have prepared a Christmas gift for you, Dwyane. You will know when the game comes later."

"Really? Thank you so much! But tonight, LeBron and I will not be polite. This is the first time we played against each other this season. I don't want to mess up." Wade finished soft and started hard. .

No matter how good the relationship is, they are all enemies on the court. The Grizzlies and the Heat are still the two biggest favorites to win this season. In front of the O'Brien Cup, even the best friends will be broke.

"It's that I won't be polite to you, Dwyane. Did you see the dome of the Federal Express Arena? Did you see the championship pennant? We were the champions of last season!"

Wade nodded. Link's mouth is really poisonous!

"Let's see, boy. This is your first Christmas war, and it will be the worst Christmas Eve you have ever experienced."

After speaking, the two turned around and returned to their respective half. Since then, how good the personal relationship between Wade and Link is, and how strong their hostile relationship on the court is.

Men’s friendship is sometimes so confusing.

Before the game, Link accepted an interview from the sidelines of Rachel.

Rachel put her hair up today, put on lipstick, and wore a slim long dress in dark blue, the main color of the Grizzlies. She didn't have the sports style of a neighbor girl, and she became mature in an instant.

When she saw Link, Rachel almost couldn't help but rushed to hug Link. However, remembering that I was broadcasting live on TV, or live broadcasting across the United States, I resisted the urge.

"Link, will you feel nervous for the first time in the Christmas War?" Rachel's question is simple, of course she will not embarrass her boyfriend.

"Not nervous, because I know someone is looking at me."

Link's answer makes most people feel inexplicable. What does it mean that someone looks at him? Fans all over the world are watching him.

Rachel's face turned red, and the interview ended.

When Link walked to the center of the court to start the game, Randolph couldn't help but vomit, "The conversation between you two on the basketball court is disgusting to me!"

Link gave Randolph a white look, ready to start the game. He knew that the relaxing part of Christmas Eve tonight was all over. The rest is fierce fighting!

Link glanced across from him, and the Heat's lineup was almost unchanged from last season's Finals.

Chalmers, Wade, Ray Allen, James, and Bosh are still a big and four small lineup, completely abandoning the traditional fifth position.

There is no way without changing the lineup. The former high-ranking players such as Oden and Michael Beasley that the Heat added this summer did not produce the expected results. Therefore, the starter can only be the same.

And the Heat do not have much room for manipulation, and the Big Three have almost locked their salary structure. The transaction value of other people is too low, so it is normal that there is no reinforcement.

Besides, they are strong enough even if they are not reinforced.

After the game started, Bosh got the ball excitedly. In the finals of last season, Bosh's performance was a rollover scene.

After the Heat lost the championship, Bosh was also the worst criticized.

But today, Bosh seems to have recovered himself. In just one face-off, he can see that his mental state is completely different from six months ago!

The ball was taken by Wade, and the Flash immediately advanced. In addition to Bosh last season, Wade's performance was not good. During the finals, Wade's knees could not support him to perform better.

But this summer at Link’s training camp ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Wade is recovering well. So this season's state is much better than last season's finals.

This is also the reason why some people are optimistic about the Heat's victory. They think that the Grizzlies won the championship last season because of luck, because Wade and Bosh were unlucky at the same time.

This year, when Wade and Bosh return to their former glory, the Grizzlies will not have any chance. And this game is proof!

As soon as Wade came on, Iguodala was caught off guard.

His speed is very fast, as if people see a trace of the peak period.

In the end, before Gasol rushed back to the inside, Wade completed the breakthrough and scored a single-handed deduction, which made a good start for the finale of this Christmas war.

"Today this is my game, my game!" Wade yelled at Link after he dunked.

Before Link offered his great gift, Wade took the lead in handing over his "present."
