Reverse Growth Superstar

"You have been in the Christmas War for so many years, are you not used to it?"

James took the initiative to come to the door, and it was impossible for Link to ignore them. So Link could only watch Durant leave with a bitter look, and then chatted with James.

"If I don’t spend time with my family at Christmas, I won’t get used to it no matter how many times. In the past few years, I played Christmas battles at home, but this year I went to Memphis. My family will not walk with me, saying To be honest, it's really irritable."

"No way, I remember that we were lucky last Christmas and took a few days off. But this year, we are going to play games on Christmas." Link also doesn't want to play games on Christmas, but who calls the Grizzlies is now in the league What about the hottest team?

So, Link told George this summer. As long as your strength is strong enough, even if you play in a small city, you are not afraid of not paying attention.

Among the teams participating in the Christmas game this year, the Thunder, Spurs and Grizzlies are all small ball teams. It turns out that this is not accidental.

Of course, if you have to consider factors other than basketball, it is indeed better for big cities. For example, in the original history, Iguodala chose to go to the Warriors, in addition to basketball reasons, but also his own business reasons. In San Francisco, Iguodala created a business empire of his own.

But for Link, who just wants to play basketball, there is no difference between Los Angeles and Memphis.

"Yeah, yeah, this Christmas, only I have spent with you, hahahaha. Dwyane often mentioned you this season, he participated in your training camp this summer and benefited a lot. He tells me every day, Tell me how strong you are. Can I feel that strength in a week? Link."

As James spoke, his smile faded away.

The league's top spot is threatened, do you think James is really willing? He just isn't like Durant and Bill Simmons, who will directly show his unwillingness.

He has been committed to being a "perfect" athlete and being a good gentleman. But this does not mean that James does not want to kick Link's ass.

"I think you will, LeBron. By the way, tell Dwyane by the way, tell him Merry Christmas."

James is a little confused, Merry Christmas? What do you mean?

It's really unpredictable that two competitors who don't want to bring the contradiction to the surface are spraying each other.

But it doesn't matter, a week later, when Link and James meet again.

They no longer need to treat each other so restrained.

Before the Christmas War begins, the Grizzlies have two more games to play. Both games are away games, against the Mavericks and the Knicks.

In these two games, the Grizzlies scored one win and one loss. Against the Mavericks, even if Nowitzki and Monta Ellis combined to score 38 points, they still cannot escape bad luck.

Under Ellis' absent-minded defense, Conley easily scored 25 points. Coupled with Link's 28 points, it's enough for the Mavericks to drink a pot.

The Mavericks have fallen rapidly since their peak in 11 years and are regarded as one of the most depressed defending champions in NBA history. In the first year after winning, they could still play the playoffs. Last season, the Mavericks simply didn't even make it to the playoffs.

This season, the Mavericks' playoff prospects are still worrying. Faced with this team that once eliminated themselves, the Grizzlies have no mercy and won easily.

But the battle in New York did not go smoothly. Anthony finally won a game against Link this time. He blasted 38 points across the court, the highest score he has ever scored against Link in his career!

Anthony is in very good shape today. Although his shots are still unbalanced, what is different from the past is that Anthony can shoot the ball this time and his hit rate is high.

In addition to Anthony, "As long as there is no convulsions, all-stars every day". Smith also performed bravely, shooting 4 of 5 three-pointers and scoring 22 points.

On the other hand, the Grizzlies, although Link's 32 points against Biao Anthony, the Grizzlies lack a role like Smith today. Nick Young got a lot of playing time today, but he couldn't get it.

In the end, the Grizzlies lost 4 points in Madison Square Garden and won their second defeat of the season.

After the game, don't mention how excited Anthony was. Since Link entered the league, every time he played against Link, he had nothing to eat.

From the Nuggets to the Knicks, from the west to the east, Link has always been Anthony's lingering haze. As a "social man", Anthony was repeatedly humiliated by Link's trash talk.

Today, Anthony finally exhales. In the Christmas War a few days later, the Knicks' opponent is Oklahoma City, and Anthony will also play against Durant, another new era super forward.

The victory of this game undoubtedly gave Anthony great self-confidence. Link has done it. Are you afraid that you won’t get Durant?

As for Link, he is not as unwilling to lose this game as he was when he lost to the Thunder. After all, the Knicks are not the Grizzlies' mortal enemy. He and Anthony can't meet several times in a season, so it's not a cause for trouble.

This is an ordinary defeat in 82 regular season games, nothing more.

But Bill Simmons didn't think it anymore. It was rare to encounter this kind of thing, and Simmons naturally took advantage of the problem and turned the black.

But to Simmons's expectation, this time his attack on Link did not cause any waves. His column did not become hot because of this, but it meant that some of the clicks fell.

Simmons realized that he could no longer get the support of fans when he went to Black Link. Because everyone knows that Link won't keep losing like this.

Simmons just posted an article about Black Link. The next day, the NBA officially announced the results of the second round of the All-Star Game.

In Simmons's article, he predicted that Link will be surpassed by James, Durant and Kobe, and will be "cooperating" with Jeremy Lin in the fourth and fifth position.

However, it turned out that Link still led the league with 854,000 votes. The second-ranked James and Link are not far behind, only 4,000 votes behind. But even so, he can only be second.

As for Kobe and Durant, they have not even received 800,000 votes, and they are still in the 700,000 range. Not to mention surpassing Link, they couldn't do it even if they were connected.

Durant, who is ranked third, has 70,000 votes from Link, and Kobe, who is fourth, is 120,000!

Link and James are completely unique, so there is no need to worry about being overtaken by others.

At this point, Bill Simmons was completely speechless. Even if Link didn't make a move, he still went to clean him up.

NBA legendary superstar, member of the Hall of Fame, and one of the top 50 superstars, Isaiah Thomas, satirized Simmons after the results were announced.

"Do you think you are really all-knowing and omnipotent? No, you are just a speculator. Grandstanding is how you make money. Link, he is a truly great player. You and him are not at the same level. Come on. So, shut your mouth!"

It is not surprising that Isaiah Thomas helped Link speak. As a result, he was also the object of long-term slander by Bill Simmons. Thomas's poor performance as general manager, even after so many years, is still teased by Simmons from time to time.

The second reason is that Link made Jordan lose money in the gambling game, which made Thomas appreciate Link even more.

Overnight, Bill Simmons turned out to be the object of spurn by everyone. Simmons knew that this time he had to be quiet for a while. Otherwise, it is equivalent to pushing yourself into the fire pit.

"This kid's popularity is scary now. There are so many people defending him after losing the ball." Seeing Bill Simmons being angry from all sides, James felt sad for Simmons.

"There are more votes than you, can it not be popular? But after today, people are paying more attention to the Christmas battle. The final showdown between the first and second All-Star votes is full of gimmicks just thinking about it." Wade Smiled beside James~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This year's Christmas war may be more tragic than in previous years.

"By the way, Link asked me to give you a word. He asked me to tell you, Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas?" Wade frowned. After this summer, his personal relationship with Wade is good.

Like Link's character, he probably wouldn't speak kindly to his opponent before the war.

And just a Merry Christmas, does it need someone else to bring it? If Link really wants to bless him, he can send text messages and call.

"What do you mean?" Wade looked dumbfounded.

James spread his hands and shook his head, "Who knows, anyway, Dwyane."

James clenched his fists, his expression became serious, "This season, I will not be destroyed by him again."

LeBron never shows his desire to win, but this guy is smiling, his hands are black.
