On December 25, today''s game between the Grizzlies and the heat doesn''t start until nine o''clock. It''s the end of another Christmas series.
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 interests, these are the regular operations of the league.
As a result, the Grizzlies are in a state of physical tension all day. It''s Christmas, but nothing else can be done, which makes the players very frustrated.
But fortunately, even though everyone has to work today, Robert Pera has created a warm enough Christmas atmosphere for the players.
At the gate of the FedEx stadium, a big Christmas tree was placed, and a giant inflatable Santa Claus doll was hung on the outer wall of the stadium.
In the dressing room, PELA also prepared Christmas gifts for the players. As soon as link walked into the dressing room today, he saw a pile of gift boxes lying on the floor. There are cards on the gift boxes with the names of the players and PELA''s wishes for the players.
The contents of each card are different. It can be seen that PELA wrote them with heart.
Link opened the gift box and found it was a PS4. Everyone''s presents are the same, all of them are PS4.
Link grinned, and PELA had a heart. Yes, it''s 2013. PS4 game console was released in November 2013. At this time, it is a very new digital product.
But for link, PS4 isn''t too cutting-edge. He''s been playing for years! However, in the future, he will not be destroyed by the backward game screen.
In addition to owner PELA, the Grizzlies also brought gifts to his teammates.
Mike Miller bought a scarf for his teammates, which was very warm and practical.
Randolph bought everyone a box of cigars, which was very much in line with his temperament.
Link also brought a gift to everyone - Christmas color of the link generation basketball shoes.
The price of this limited edition of Christmas color shoes is about five times of the original price, and you can''t buy them if you have money, because many people prefer to keep them for collection. After all, this is the memory of link''s first Christmas War.
Link''s super high popularity makes this kind of shoes have been sold on the market, which is not easy to get. So even for professional players, these shoes are very collectable.
It is estimated that P.J. Tucker, who is currently playing for the Suns, is crying. This shoe thirsty guy must think that being link''s teammate is the happiest thing in the world.
On the whole, the atmosphere in the dressing room before the game started was quite relaxed. In addition to the absence of a Christmas dinner, it''s almost like spending Christmas with your family.
For link, these brothers are family members. Everyone gathered in the dressing room to watch other games, chatting and laughing, and this Christmas Eve was also very good.
Two hours before the game, link received a text message from Rachel. It seems that Rachel has arrived at the FedEx stadium.
Since the season, Rachel and Grant Hill co host the new show popular, Rachel''s popularity is also soaring.
Now, Rachel''s the hot girl. As a journalist, she will naturally be sent to the scene to conduct field change interviews.
In this Christmas battle, ESPN found Rachel, a popular actress, as a sideline reporter. So today, link is going to spend Christmas Eve with Rachel in a different way.
After another half an hour, everyone gradually stopped joking. The dressing room slowly quieted down, and everyone''s eyes were on link, on their young leader.
"Well, it''s time to warm up." Link took a deep breath and stood up.
"This year, it''s the first time in the history of the Grizzlies to fight Christmas. Of course, it''s also the first time that most of us play at Christmas. Seriously, if you told someone two years ago that grizzly bears would fight a Christmas War, he would have thought you were sick, and that you were very sick. Memphis Grizzlies fight Christmas? Who would like to spend money to watch them fight the Christmas War? As a result, we not only fight the Christmas War, but also make the final appearance in the Christmas War! Not only did someone pay to watch the game, but all the tickets were sold out
When link said this, everyone laughed.
"We haven''t followed the path that others have given us. We have not been the protagonist, but we have always defeated the protagonist. Today, LeBron James wants to be a disgrace here. He wants to prove that the heat are still the champion''s first successor. Let''s let them remember what happened to FedEx half a year ago! Come on, guys, it''s our Christmas Eve. Let''s go to the party
"Roar!" Link said, the Grizzlies players have jumped up, like a group of bandits like shouting, all followed link out of the dressing room.
The dressing room was "emptied" in an instant, leaving only debris all over the floor, together with three coaches, namely, Joel, Snyder and Turner."See? I said, losing to the Knicks won''t have any impact on the team Joel opened his hands with a smile. He didn''t say a word. The mood of the players was aroused by link.
It''s so easy to be a coach in a team with link.
"With him, the Grizzlies will never have to worry about morale. Let''s go. It''s time for us to play. " Snyder cleaned up his suit, and he couldn''t wait to see how link would show off his All-Star ticket king!
Although it''s getting late, the fans are still very enthusiastic when the players from both sides come out.
"Welcome to the FedEx stadium, a continuation of last season''s finals! Of course, it is also likely to be a preview of this season''s finals! Either way, today, we will have an unforgettable night! "
Mike brin''s voice has put countless fans into a state of the moment. The veteran commentator and fans have witnessed countless classic moments. With him in the place, the game will generally play very exciting!
James and wade looked at link, smiling. Wade even stepped up and hugged link.
In the ''90s, it''s almost impossible to see Jordan and Isaiah Thomas so friendly, and don''t expect Karl Malone to smile in front of Jordan.
But in the 21st century, the relationship between players from two different teams is no longer just a hostile relationship, which makes the changes in the NBA''s network more complicated and interesting.
"What do you mean by Merry Christmas? Don''t pretend. I know what you''re saying is more than literal. " After the hug, Wade asked the biggest question in his mind these two days.
"I have a Christmas present for you, devine. You''ll find out when you play later
"Is it? Thank you very much! But LeBron and I are not going to be polite tonight. It''s our first game of the season and I don''t want to screw it up Wade finished the soft, and began to make the hard.
No matter how good the relationship is, there are enemies on the court. The Grizzlies and the heat are still the two biggest champions of the season, and even the best friends will fight hard in front of the O''Brien cup.
"Yes, I won''t be polite to you, devine. See the dome of the FedEx stadium? See that championship flag? We were the champions last season
Wade nodded. Link''s mouth is so poisonous!
"See, boy. It''s your first Christmas fight, and it''s going to be the worst Christmas night you''ve ever had. "
Finish saying, two people turn to return to respective half court respectively. From then on, how well Wade and link had a personal relationship, how hostile they were on the pitch.
Men''s friendship, sometimes it is so confusing.
Before the game, link gave Rachel an on-the-spot interview.
Today, Rachel curled up her hair, put on lipstick and wore the Grizzlies'' dark blue dress. She did not have the usual neighborhood girl sports style, instantly became mature.
When she saw link, Rachel almost couldn''t help but jump up and hug link. However, when I think that I am live on TV or live in America, I can resist the impulse.
"Link, do you feel nervous about going to the first Christmas War?" Rachel''s question is simple. She certainly doesn''t embarrass her boyfriend.
"Not nervous, because I know someone is looking at me."
Link''s answer makes most people feel puzzled. What does someone look at him? It''s fans all over the world looking at him, OK.
Rachel''s face turned a little red and ended the interview.
Linke walked to the center of the court to prepare for the competition. Randolph could not help but make complaints about it. "The conversation between the two of you on the basketball court disgusted me."
Link gave Randolph a blank look and was ready to start the game. He knew that the relaxing part of Christmas Eve was all over. The rest, only fierce fighting!
Link looked at his face, the heat team''s lineup compared with last season''s finals almost unchanged.
Chalmers, Wade, Ray Allen, James and Bosh are still a big four small lineup, completely abandoning the traditional five position.
There is no way to change the lineup. The heat''s addition of Auden, Michael Beasley and other high ranking players this summer did not play the expected effect. So, the starting line-up is still the same.
And the heat does not have much room to operate. The big three have almost locked their salary structure. And other people''s transaction value 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 was excited to get the ball right. Last season''s finals, Bosh''s performance is simply a rollover scene.
After the heat lost the championship, Bosh was also the worst scolded one.
But today, bosh seems to have found himself, just a fight for the ball, we can see that his mental state today is different from that of half a year ago!Wade gets the ball, and the Blitzer pushes in. Last season in addition to bosh, Wade''s performance is not good. During the finals, Wade''s knee couldn''t support him to perform better.
But this summer at link''s training camp, Wade recovered well. So this season''s condition is much better than last season''s finals.
That''s why some people are optimistic about the heat''s victory. They think it''s luck for the Grizzlies to win the championship last season, because Wade and Bosh are in the doldrums at the same time.
This year, when Wade and Bosh return to their former glory, the Grizzlies are unlikely to have any chance. And this game is proof!
Wade on the stage, a sudden igordala a surprise.
His speed is so fast that people can see the shadow of his peak period.
In the end, Wade made a breakthrough and scored with one hand before Gasol got back to the inside, which was a good start to the finale of the Christmas War.
"Today, this is my game, it''s my game!" After the dunk landed, Wade yelled at link.
Link has not offered his big gift, but Wade took the lead in handing over his "gift".
