Chapter 575: Christmas present

"I'm a big boss in the NBA(

......
The first victory of the NBA's 2016-2017 Christmas season came out. The Boston Celtics who played away were even better, beating the New York Knicks to win.
I didn't look at anything after the game, Frank went directly to a live arena, and the two teams were the Chicago Bulls and the San Antonio Spurs.
This game has a high degree of attention. According to the Spurs staff, the attendance rate of the ATT arena today has reached 100% and there is almost no vacancy.
The Spurs took the lead in opening the situation in the first half. The first quarter started with a 17-2 climax and established a lead. At the end of the first quarter, Adelaide scored 9 of 9 shots and scored 20 points and 5 rebounds to help the Spurs lead 36-25.
In the second quarter, under the leadership of Wade, the Bulls struggled to chase and gradually narrowed the point difference. Aldridge stepped up to stabilize the situation. At the end of the half, he scored 25 points and 6 rebounds to help the team lead 55-50.
In the second half, Kawaii led the team to continue to expand the lead. After the three quarters, the Spurs netted the Bulls by 6 points in a single quarter and entered the final quarter with an 11-point advantage. The Spurs always held a double-digit lead in the final quarter, 2 minutes and 23 seconds before the final. With a lead of 115 to 99 by 16 points, time passed and the game lost suspense. In the end, the Spurs beat the Bulls 119 to 100 to win the Christmas War.
Statistics show that Tony Parker has 13 points, 3 rebounds and 8 assists for the Spurs.
Kawaii had 25 points, 10 rebounds, 4 assists, and 3 steals.
LaMarcus Aldridge had 33 points and 9 rebounds.
Pau Gasol 12 points, 7 rebounds and 2 assists.
Manu Ginobili 3 points, 2 rebounds, and 3 assists.
For the Bulls, Jimmy Butler had 19 points, 5 rebounds, and 3 assists.
Dwyane Wade has 24 points, 3 rebounds, 6 assists, and 2 steals.
Ty Gibson has 12 points, 7 rebounds, 2 assists and 2 blocks.
Rajon Rondo 6 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists.
Nikola Mirotic has 11 points and 5 rebounds.
Doug McDermott has 5 points and 2 rebounds.
The Spurs are playing very well with both virtues, especially Ade, who really rubbed a few of the Bulls' inside lines on the floor, quite like Duncan back then.
Kawaii is also very stable, shooting 7 of 14, 50% shooting and 60% three-point shooting, in addition to 3 steals, perfectly showing his DPOY strength.
Wade, the best performer on the Bulls side...this was unexpected.
The main reason is that Wade’s condition has really declined in recent years. When he came to the Bulls, everyone thought that he was here to "give care". Just like Gasol, he went to "giving care" everywhere. "Hold your thigh."
Butler did not perform very well. His 8 shooting percentage of 19 shots can only be said to be mediocre, and the rest of the Bulls also performed mediocrely, which led to the direct push by the Spurs... Is there a flat push team that is more stable and mature than the Spurs?
It seems to be gone... They are the kind of team that can be transformed into a victory by grabbing a little advantage, a very abnormal attribute.
And Long guides, 6 points, 6 rebounds, 2 assists... the normal level is that the assists are a little bit less, and the scoring ability of Long guides is limited, but the assist ability is still very strong, but only today Getting 2 assists can only show that the Bulls are really iron, or that the Bulls players are all playing...
......
Everyone was a little tired after watching two games in a row.
Frank waved his hand to indicate that everyone can go to rest and return to activities.
At this time, the third battle, which is also the focus of this Christmas battle, has begun!
Of course, this game cannot be one after another. Although the time is staggered, the specific time will be concentrated in those hours.
Otherwise, a game can be seen from the beginning to the end, two hours can not be stopped, five games is ten hours... how can it be possible to watch a ten-hour game here, you can only watch every game Look at a part.
Xu Xuan also got up and took a bottle of Gatorade, loosened his muscles, and smiled and said to Frank next to him: "How about it, have you figured out the tactics? Think about how you will beat the Clippers to the ground."
Frank shook his head and chewed with the pen in his mouth: "The problem now is that we don't know if Chris will play. If Chris doesn't play, there is nothing to consider for this Clippers. If Chris does play, , You need to be cautious."
The Clippers are more injured... Griffin and my cannon were both injured in the truce before. Griffin is temporarily out of action. Recently, there has been news that my cannon is coming back. I just don’t know if it will be. Comeback in this Christmas battle.
"It doesn't matter if he comes back, doesn't come back, doesn't come back, blows them up, doesn't come back, or blows them up, it doesn't make any difference to me." Xu Xuan drank saliva, feeling his throat moisturized, and turned I saw Ci Shiping over there still gnawing oranges, and there was a jiao up there, "Atay, how many oranges did you eat today? Are you afraid of eating it?"
The fierce man named Artest wiped his mouth, sat up from the chair, and looked at Xu Xuan... Just when everyone thought something would happen, Artest suddenly bent over his face An almost flattering smile appeared on the face, and he helped Xu Xuan to his position and asked him to sit down: "Eh? Brother, sit down and sit down. I told you that these oranges are really good. I bought several boxes. They are not sour and sweet. , Do you want one?"
"..."
With an ups and downs, I can see other Lakers players. It is said that in this league, only Kobe can subdue Artest, and now there is another Xu Xuan.
Xu Xuan scolded a few words with a smile, picked up Ci Shiping's orange and put it in his mouth. It really didn't matter, the orange tasted really good, no wonder this guy ate so much.
On the projector, the Cavaliers and Warriors game began.
This game is undoubtedly a battle of focus!
Before the Celtics beat the Knicks, the Celtics had tight coordination, clear routines, open space, and perfect pass, except for Thomas, the wrists were not hard enough.
The Knicks have no routines, less cooperation, and the ones who are familiar with the horns are someone who has a high position to block and cut, and the flanks have crossed, but after opening the field, they are all singled out... Boshen...In the second quarter, the Celtics relied on the Knicks’ leak defense, scored six three-pointers in three minutes, opened the gap in one breath, and decided in the fourth quarter. At the time of life and death, the Knicks relied on Rose's gorgeous breakthrough and strong shots from me and Boshen to hit a wave of 11 to 2 to get the score back.
In the last round, the Knicks' defense missed Smart on the flank, and the ball was copied offensively. The game ended like this.
This kind of competition is very character, the ups and downs of winning and losing are all in the personality.
The Knicks had no brains, and the Celtics were unhappy.
The game between Cavaliers and Warriors is the other side, they know each other very well.
After the game began, the first half was evenly matched, and Durant entered the state early and scored 12 points in the first quarter. The Warriors relied on Thompson's final goal to get a 2 point lead.
In the second quarter, the Warriors still had the upper hand. Durant hit a key three-pointer in the final period. The Warriors got a three-point advantage and entered the second half. Durant broke out again in the second half. He scored 11 more points in this quarter. The Warriors took a 7-point lead at the end of the third quarter.
In the final 12 minutes of the battle, the Warriors took the lead. Durant continued the start and scored 5 points. The Warriors relied on a wave of 7-0 offensive to establish a 14-point lead. However, the Cavaliers quickly reversed the situation. Irving scored 5 points to stabilize the situation. Veteran Jefferson completed a dunk by Klay, and the Cavaliers responded with a wave of 23 to 8 to overtake by 2 points.
At the final critical moment, Curry hit a key three-pointer in the downturn, but the Cavaliers responded quickly. Irving hit the key consecutively, including a difficult back turn against Thompson's defense in place at the last moment. The shooting completed the lore, and in the end, with Irving's fiery play of 14 points in the final quarter, the Cavaliers reversed the Warriors 109 to 108 and won.
Quasi lore!
A very powerful quasi lore!
The scene just now is still playing back on the screen.
After an unbelievable chase, Irving made a fold-up layup-this kind of chase, copy back the ball, layup, it was Wade, in the end he had 11.1 seconds, when he singled out Clay, his attitude Easily, he didn't sway Clay, but he was not nervous at all, nor did he try to pass the ball.
"This defense can't be better..." Barnes shook his head. He is also a defensive champion. This comment from his mouth shows that Clay's defense is really the ultimate.
Indeed, Clay did not lose any position, even if he was facing Irving, but Irving was confident and scored a fall-back jumper, leaving only 3.4 seconds for the Warriors.
It's a pity a game...In the end, Curry missed a three-pointer, and the Warriors lost the Christmas game.
Technical statistics, the Warriors here KD23 shot 11 and scored 36 points and 15 rebounds.
Clay had 24 points and 2 rebounds.
Curry had 15 points, 3 rebounds, 3 assists, and 3 steals.
Draymond Green had 16 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 5 turnovers.
David West had 5 points and 5 assists.
For the Cavaliers, James had 31 points, 13 rebounds, 4 assists, and 5 turnovers.
Irving had 25 points, 10 assists, 6 rebounds, and 7 steals.
Love 20 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists.
Veteran Jefferson had 8 points and 2 rebounds.
Iman Shumpert had 7 points and 5 rebounds.
......
This is a wonderful game, speaking of the key point of this game is not the offense, but the defense.
The first is the Cavaliers. The offense was tossed by the Warriors' excellent defense system. The shooting percentage was only 38.9%, but the Cavaliers still made it to the end to give Irving a chance to play the heroic qualities. What does it rely on?
Excellent defense.
In this game, the Cavaliers did a very good job of protecting the backcourt, with a backboard rate of 83.9%.
Through the team's oppressive defense, the Warriors made as many as 19 turnovers and 14 steals.
And let Curry only get 11 outings, 2 of 7 three-pointers, in limiting Curry, Liggins plaster-style defense is indispensable. By the way, so far this season, his opponents have shot 39.8%, including 34.1% from three-pointers, which is 3.3% and 1.3% lower than usual.
Second, the Cavaliers scored 18 offensive rebounds in this game.
You know, the Cavaliers' 23.9% offensive rebound rate this season is only 13th in the league.
In fact, if only the starter is counted, the Cavaliers' offensive rebound rate is the sixth in the league-this is still in the case of James closing the game, this game, James grabbed 5 frontcourt!
The Warriors' backcourt rebound rate, whether overall or starting, is in the lower reaches of the league. When they encounter a strong offensive rebounding team, they often have troubles. In fact, it is not just them. The Lakers also have this weakness. Against those who have big centers, rebounding is definitely weak.
......
"Papa!" After a wonderful game, everyone stood up and stood up.
Frank clapped his hands, attracted everyone's attention, and said solemnly: "Actually, I am not going to arrange for you to watch the game today, but it's okay to see the current state and strength of these strong teams at any time. I thought that after winning them one or two games, I felt that we were invincible~EbookFREE.me~ We can win the Warriors, the Cavaliers can also win, we can lore, and others can lore, don’t be complacent just because of a little achievement, you It’s awesome, there are people who are more powerful than you, and, most importantly, you are not that powerful, Xu Xuan is the most powerful...
Everyone on the Lakers has a sima face: "..."
Coach, you're too shameless, you are heartbroken!
"So, my purpose in organizing you to watch a few games is to let you know that there are people outside the world, there are days outside the world, and every game needs to be treated with caution. You have no proud capital!"
After listening to Frank's words, everyone was silent for a while, but Frank immediately clapped his hands and changed his tone: "However, I also believe that you can, under the leadership of Xu Xuan, move towards victory step by step and towards the last. Palace, this is not just my dream, Xu's dream, but also your dream!
Today is Christmas, and you all have received Xu’s gifts, but my gift has not been given to you. My gift is very special. Whoever drops the chain on me today, I will reward him for washing socks for all of us for a month! "
"Huh? Isn't the coach? You played so hard?"
"Coach, no, let's change a gift, this gift is too brutal."
"I seem to have smelled something bad, Fak! Isn't it me who washed the socks last?"
"..."
Frank watched this scene with a smile. Xu Xuan was also smiling. This group of guys must put some pressure on it. If no pressure was given, it would be very easy to float, especially after the "devil training week" arranged by Frank before. The guy feels even more invincible.
This mentality is not good.
It can be despised strategically, but it must be taken seriously tactically!
