Lisco's American Life
1127. The History of the Christmas Battle of the NBA League
After all the hard work, he finally achieved his goal. Lisko's mood suddenly became comfortable, and he immediately ran to his study room with great joy. At the same time, he contacted the manager of the team about bringing his family to the scene in person.
, and at the same time, I am also preparing to temporarily add the rising stars who are currently performing relatively well in the league and the main opponents on Christmas Day.
Speaking of the concept of the Christmas game, it seems that it has been widely circulated in various sports league competitions that have attracted much attention since 1980. Not only the managers of the league itself are also hyping this concept, but also the teams
Members and team owners also love this artificial gimmick that can bring them significant attention and revenue.
The NBA is even more enthusiastic about this concept. It can be said that the development of this league itself is closely related to the hotness brought by the Christmas game, and even the feedback received from creating this kind of heat.
It should be said that basketball is not ranked very high among sports competitions in the United States. Above it is not only football, but also baseball.
As for the Holy Land of Basketball, which is eagerly watched by fans from all other countries, the ranking of basketball in the United States only occupies the third place. Even this ranking is somewhat precarious. Boxing and ice hockey are always eyeing the third position.
May surpass this ranking.
As the number one competitive sport, baseball is a household name in terms of attention and audience in the United States. The annual Super Bowl is the most anticipated game in the United States. Even the halftime performance of the Super Bowl is higher than that of the NBA Finals.
It’s even more exciting. The NFL is the most popular league in the United States. There are even many parents in American families who expect their children to grow up to be good baseball stars, not basketball players.
The popularity of baseball began in the early 20th century and has never been far away from the United States. If we look at it from a historical and cultural basis, baseball is America's favorite sport. As time goes by, it will not be affected by anything.
Social conditions change this hobby and concern.
Speaking of the NBA's Christmas war, we have to mention the most outstanding classic battles in the past history. It is precisely because of the emergence of these classic battles that the league's popularity in the entire United States has been completely launched.
The popularity and attention it received from all over the world, and even the publicity of these classic battles, were able to completely bring an unknown small league to its current position of third place.
I believe that there are quite a few people who like basketball and even pay attention to basketball. Even if they don’t pay attention to basketball, as long as they have heard about it, there is always no way to omit the existence of a person in their impression of basketball, and the other party is also called
The God of Basketball is our legendary Michael Jordan.
In 1992, 18,676 fans at the United Center in Chicago went to the scene on Christmas Day to support their favorite team. It was precisely because this day allowed them to witness the most exciting battle in the entire history of the NBA.
.
The league's dominant Bulls faced the New York Knicks, their opponent in last year's Eastern Conference semifinals after seven bloody games. During the game, the Knicks relied on their defense and rebounding advantages to take control of the game. Ewing, Oakley and Anthony Mason completely dominated the game.
Without rebounds, the Bulls' two inside players, Horace Grant and Bill Cartwright, lost their ability to protect rebounds. Under the opponent's tough defense, the team's shooting percentage was very low, and they fell behind throughout the first half.
10 points.
Originally, everyone thought that this game would definitely end with the Bulls' defeat, and some fans were even preparing to leave the game. However, in the second half, a man wearing No. 23 jersey completely became the God who saved the game.
.
Jordan was like a god in the second half, and Starks and Blackman who were responsible for defending him were useless. Under the leadership of Jordan, the Bulls launched a desperate counterattack, and Pippen's 5 steals and 3 blocks completely disrupted the opponent's attack.
Due to the offensive rhythm, the Bulls only allowed their opponents to score a pitiful 28 points in the second half. In the end, the Bulls came back to win 89:77. Jordan led the team with 42 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals.
He had the last laugh despite being at an absolute disadvantage in rebounding at 35:54.
Americans have always liked this kind of desperate counterattack in desperate situations. A lone hero defeats all the villains when the whole situation becomes difficult. This routine has appeared countless times in Hollywood movies.
But as long as the routine is changed and the skin is changed, all movie fans can still watch it with gusto and even shout with joy.
The main candidate for the second classic battle is still our Bulls. At that time, because of the presence of Jordan, this team was simply the undefendable and uncrowned king of the entire league.
However, compared with last time, our opponent has been replaced by the Miami Heat, the opponent in last year's Eastern Conference finals. Although the Bulls are strong, the Heat's player lineup at this time cannot be underestimated. They have center "Vulcan"
"In addition to Mourning, there is also an offensive and defensive front line composed of P.\nJ.\nBrown and Jamal Mashburn, as well as the popular point guard Tim Hardway.
The Bulls' roster is just missing one more important starting member, Jordan's best assistant Pippen. The two teams in this state are very similar in strength, even the most experienced basketball commentator.
I dare not speak directly to comment on the final winner of this game.
In the first three quarters, the score between the two sides was very fierce, and there was even a situation of being evenly matched. There was even a tie situation at one time, and in this state, the Heat began to enter a comprehensive situation.
Defense, try every means to contain the offense of Jordan, the current Bulls' most dominant player.
Because they put all their attention on Jordan, they neglected to defend other members of the Bulls. The Heat made a strategic mistake and were directly led by another player Kukoc to play a 13:2
The climax of the offensive gave the Bulls another Christmas victory.
With the foreshadowing of these two games, the entire league and other team owners seem to have suddenly become enthusiastic about the concept of a Christmas war. After all, as long as there are people paying attention, there will be a steady stream of benefits.
After the Bulls era disintegrated, the league leaders began to support another team, and with such support, the other team successfully established its own dynasty, including the Lakers with Sharks and Kobe Bryant.
He also performed very well in the following Christmas battle, adding an even hotter flame to this holiday concept.
