Basketball's most talented forward is on the left

"Hey! Man, you guys were so cruel tonight. Fortunately, we don't need to meet again on Christmas." After the game, Derrick Rose spread his hands and said to Zuo Li.

It has been more than a year since he entered the league. Although Rose is still the poker-faced boy, at least his relationship with Zuo Li is getting better and better.

"Oh, that's such a pity Derek, if this was the Christmas war, you would be famous!" Zuo Li said seriously, while he put his big hand on Rose's head.

Tsk~ How should I put it, Zuo Li gradually realized Duncan's happiness.

This guy is so big, I’m really not used to it without putting my hands on my head!

"Tch, don't think I don't know, you just want to see me embarrassed." Ross did not open Zuo Li's hand... because struggling was useless, and he was already lying flat.

Although this scene shocked many people, after all, not everyone can touch Rose's head, at least no one in the Bulls dared to do this.

But considering it was Zuo Li, all this seemed reasonable.

"Then you don't understand." Zuo Li said as if he was still young: "What is the Christmas War? The NBA Spring Festival Gala has higher ratings than the All-Stars. You have to perform well in the Christmas War and win every game.

If you get 40 points each and get 50 points, the effect is not as good as two games. Moreover, Americans like lone heroes. I don’t need to emphasize it any more."

"...You must have some misunderstanding about lone heroes." Ross was speechless. Which lone hero have you ever seen who appeared as the one being crushed?

And... 40 points, 50 points, why are you so skilled? You don't want to cause trouble in the Christmas war, do you?

Ross looked like you've seen through me.

Ignore Rose's gaze.

"Don't worry about these details. In short, you won once, and I won once. Now we're tied, and we'll meet later. We all depend on our abilities." Zuo Li continued: "But what are your plans for Christmas?"

This game is also the last game before the Christmas game. After this game, teams that do not participate in the Christmas game will have a holiday ranging from three to four days.

"I don't know, maybe go find my brother, they have a lot of shows every Christmas," Ross shrugged: "Maybe we can watch football together? Who knows, what's going on."

"Listen to me, choose the Knicks game, you won't regret it!" Zuo Li patted Rose on the shoulder and said seriously.

"Okay, I know you can fight the Christmas war, so you can do it." Rose said sourly.

Although many well-known stars have been complaining about the need to go out to play games on Christmas, it is obvious that ordinary players and even ordinary stars cannot join the luxury package of the Christmas game.

As David Stern's ambitious work, only the most popular, strongest, most talked about, and most awesome teams and stars have the chance.

Being selected for the Christmas war is an honor in itself.

As the leader of the 2008 rookies, Zuo Li, who missed the first year, will naturally not miss the second year. He is also the first among the 2008 rookies to enter the Christmas game as a core star. Even though he is in New York, the largest football city,

No one would think that it was Zuo Li who got the credit. On the contrary, countless fans thought that it was the Knicks who took advantage of Zuo Li. After all, the New York Knicks were excluded from Christmas last season.

What is this called?

Noodles!

How could Rose not be envious?

"There is no need to continue to emphasize that I am great, I already knew it!"

Ross rolled his eyes after hearing this.

"Anyway, just watch and that's it. Trust me, you won't regret it!" After Zuo Li finished speaking, he was about to leave. He was going to join the team and return to New York to prepare for the game.

"Oh, right!"

Glutinous rice

"Stop hanging out with your two brothers, it's not good for your kidneys!"

After speaking, Zuo Li left immediately without waiting for Ross to react.

"Damn! My kidneys are very good! But you, a big star like a flower, don't squeeze you dry!!!" Ross shouted angrily, but unfortunately, he was destined to get no response.

"This guy... doesn't suffer any loss as always."

"But... maybe it would be a good choice to watch the Christmas War." Ross looked at Zuo Li's leaving figure thoughtfully.

Christmas Eve this year is expected to be very lively.

No doubt!

Yes it will!

Zuo Li is serious about making trouble.

The reason is exactly what I said above. Playing on Christmas Eve, if you play well, you will definitely be better than several games. Moreover, this time, Zuo Li’s opponent is the Cleveland Cavaliers!

Last year, the NBA made drastic changes to the Christmas game, changing it from one game to five games, and the number of participating teams increased to ten. This also reflects the league's ambitions for Christmas.

This year, the league still arranged five games on Christmas Day. Due to Zuo Li's intrusion, these five games were somewhat different from the games in memory.

First of all, due to the rise of Zuo Li, 23vs24 is no longer the most anticipated matchup. Therefore, this year, the Cavaliers' opponent has become the New York Knicks, and the opponent against the Lakers has become the Celtics!

These two groups of duels have also become the most anticipated duels.

With three games left, the Magic, who performed well last season, will face the Miami Heat, while the Nuggets in the West will battle the Trail Blazers.

The last group belongs to the Suns, and their opponent is the Clippers. Obviously this is because of Griffin, but unfortunately, when the schedule was announced, there was no news about Griffin's reimbursement, otherwise the Clippers alone would not be able to squeeze in no matter what.

On Christmas Eve this year.

So, if you look at these matchups, you will understand why Rose is envious. Look at how many All-Stars there are, including Kobe Bryant, Gasol, the Big Five of the Celtics, the Big Four of the Magic, Zuo Li, Randolph, James, O'Neal,

Nash, Stoudemire, Anthony, Roy...

It's no exaggeration, these are half of the NBA All-Stars in these two seasons, and they are also all the most popular players.

So you can understand why Zuo Li attaches great importance to this game. This is the first Christmas game in his career. If he can win it well, there will be absolutely no harm.

What? You said you can't celebrate Christmas?

Is this considered harmful?

Anyway, Zuo Li doesn’t celebrate Christmas in the first place. Who would be a serious person to celebrate Christmas?

Of course, this is not the whole reason. In addition, this is also a key battle for Zuo Li's ability to compete for this year's regular season MVP!

Although Zuo Lixiong currently ranks first in the mvp prediction list given by major media, due to the momentum created by the media and CAA, James is only slightly behind.

And James is indeed the biggest competitor. After all, his record is currently second in the league. Although the gap is five games, he is still second after all.

James' personal statistics are also very good, at least not worse than when he won the MVP last season, although there is some gap between Zuo Li's statistics.

But in this way, James does have a chance to win again. After all, the media buff bonus is not easy to mess with.

The Christmas game hasn't even started yet, but the media has already started to hype up this game. The Kacun media is the first to bear the brunt. They even said that whoever wins this game will mean who is more qualified to win this year's regular season MVP.

throne!
