: Six hundred and eighteenth. The Christmas War begins!

Sorry to be a bit busy these two days and write less, it will be fine after the end of this week.
...
Liu Ren took three women to the banquet. One of them was a pregnant woman, and then there were two little loli... Not only that, Abby and Ajiali who happened to live in Beverly Hills were also invited, Abby Fortunately, she glared at Liu Ren and went to interview some players, and Ajiali immediately got into the woman in Liu Ren's house.
Liu Ren felt a deep envy and hatred.
Since everyone brought their family members, Warriors players dare not ask any Los Angeles ladies, celebrities, or some models, unless they are single, and most of them are not single, so they can only bring His girlfriend or wife are of course monogamous, and only Liu Ren is carrying a bunch of girls.
"Eh eh eh, Zach, these women are bosses? I have heard that bosses are love saints a long time ago, but I didn't expect them to be so powerful!" Barnes asked when he approached Lavin.
If it’s just a good pick-up, Barnes still doesn’t think so. Klay Thompson and Kobe are both good girls, but they still have only one wife, and they never dare to be ambiguous with other women in front of their wife, but Liu Ren, three or four directly come together!
"Forget it, they all live in the boss's house." LaVine is not easy to say, because Liu Ren looks really serious. He has never acted in front of him with Monica or Loli, but so An ascetic beauty and a two-dimensional beauty are at home, Lavin does not believe it has nothing to do with Liu Ren.
"It's really great! Zach, your girlfriend is so beautiful, and Los Angeles is great!" Barnes, who didn't find a female partner today, said enviously.
"By the way, Harris, where's your girlfriend? You won't be without a female companion today!" LaVine asked in surprise.
Barnes nodded aggrievedly.
"No! You are a Warriors player. God saw that a bunch of Hollywood celebrities went to Oakland to have a party with you, but you didn't get any of them? Or are you three seconds faster?" Lavin asked weirdly, and then used He joked with a word that most Americans did not understand from Liu Ren.
"Those women are here for Stephen and Clay and Andre. I'm just a small part of the team. How could those ladies look after me." Barnes laughed at himself.
"It seems better for the Lakers. Now even Robert has a bunch of women around every time. Although he is as poor as me, he doesn't even have the money to go to a more expensive hotel." LaVine sympathized with Barnes.
"Yeah, your place is really great, everyone has the opportunity to perform, everyone is very welcome." Barnes said from the heart.
LaVine was a little surprised. Barnes seemed to be looking forward to playing for the Lakers...
...
On the other side, Kobe and Curry, Iguodala, Green, Gasol, Monroe, Whiteside, Mercy, Durant, Westbrook... a group of big-time guys began to gamble.
Clarkson, Thackeray, Randall, Livingston... These are young or lower-status players who have also made up a table to play small cards. LaVine and Barnes are talking about Liu Ren. After that, I got involved.
Women are all together or show off their clothes and bags, or discuss life, or start betting on small money like men, and there are two relationships between Vanessa and Curry’s wife Ayesha that are good for chicks. Surrounded by Monica and asked if the child was Liu Ren's, and then discussed the parenting experience together...
Only Klay Thompson and Liu Ren started to fight each other again, and they didn't even play cards.
"Boss, see it! This is called inviting guests. Look at us, everything is ready, and we have invited a five-star chef from the hotel, as well as all kinds of entertainment. Think about how you entertained me. ?" Klay Thompson despised while showing off.
"Oh, a five-star chef, he scored three points. Are you saying that the dishes made by Xiao Ai and Mary are not delicious? I will tell them." Liu Ren seemed to answer casually.
"Damn! You are so mean!" Klay Thompson's eyes widened.
If you go to Liu Ren's house and can't even eat the Japanese food made by Da Lolita and the Chinese food made by a chick, it will be boring to death! And Klay Thompson can't not accept Liu Ren's invitation, because being invited by Liu Ren is a very face-saving thing in the NBA. I heard that even Westbrook and Durant have never been invited, and they are still not recognized. How could he give up such a face-saving thing as a superstar?
Klay Thompson did not continue to frustrate, but looked at Liu Ren with faint eyes...

Christmas Eve was still very happy. We all dressed up a huge Christmas tree together, watched talk shows together, ate and played together, but couldn't drink, because there was a Christmas battle tomorrow.
The Warriors’ hospitality was also very appropriate. There were enough rooms for people to stay overnight. Liu Ren stayed with Kobe, Monroe and others and went home.
Finally, Christmas came. When the Lakers came to the Staples Center, the arena also had a strong Christmas atmosphere.
The Lakers’ new president of team operations, Magic Johnson, put on Santa’s clothes to give gifts to the players. This is probably the first time that the team’s quasi-leader has actually become a team player. The players are very excited. , Magic is worthy of being a magician, a small move made the team's cohesion improved.
Today is a carnival for basketball fans in Los Angeles. There will be two Christmas games at the Staples Center, especially for the Lakers and Warriors. The scalpers have already fired their tickets to a terrifying point. Tickets for the regular season have been fired up by the scalpers as hot as last season's finals.
The first Christmas war started at 3 pm New York time, and the first Christmas war started at 12 noon when it was changed to Los Angeles time.
The Cavaliers and the Knicks played very well. The matchup between Anthony and James is never lacking, and the lineups of the two teams are not very different. Each match between them is regarded as a preview of the Eastern Conference finals this season.
However, the Cavaliers led by James are still better after all. In the first Christmas game this year, James led the team to 102 to 97 Mr. Knicks.
The game between the Cavaliers and the Knicks was very exciting, and it was a good start for this year's Christmas War.
However, the next game between the Eagles and the Raptors was not so good. Both sides played similarly, the lineup strength was similar, and they were too familiar with the opponent's offense. Originally, both teams were brisk overall offensive, but because they were too familiar with each other. , Turned into an ugly defensive game, it was a replica of the 2005 Spurs hitting the Pistons.
Just when the fans guarding the TV were about to fall asleep, the commentary lineup composed of two big fat guys and a scheming man squeezed into the TV screen, and the fans were instantly energetic. These three appeared and dressed like that. Clothes, that means their most anticipated game is coming!
The scheming man Kenny Smith looked helplessly at his No. 1 Lakers short-sleeved jersey. If he couldn't beat the two fat guys, O'Neal and Barkley, he would definitely pull it off immediately and then fight the two fat guys.
But Barkley and O'Neal’s arms are thicker than Kenny Smith’s thighs. Kenny Smith thought about it and felt that wearing Liu Ren’s jersey would not be a big problem. What a big deal! And he also appreciates Liu Ren.
"Welcome everyone to watch the best Christmas game in history. Just today, the boss Lakers are about to end the Warriors' 29-game winning streak!" O'Neal exclaimed.
"Eh eh, the game hasn't started yet..." Kenny Smith couldn't listen anymore.
But without giving Kenny Smith a chance to finish speaking, Barkley interrupted directly: "Let's guess what position the boss will use to defeat the Warriors today?"
"The Lakers may not be able to beat the Warriors, they lost the last game against the Warriors..." Kenny Smith continued to say weakly.
But Kenny Smith is destined to be unable to finish the whole sentence, and O'Neal is here again: "My Lake will definitely take revenge on the last time, and will defeat the Warriors as the team with the longest winning streak in history. Will give the Warriors a chance to surpass my lake! Just the Warriors' small arms and legs, without me, the boss can crush them with the super offensive skills of this great mentor..."
Kenny Smith looked at the producer with grief and indignation, but the producer held a sign in his hand that read: "Charles, Shaq, go on, don't stop!"
It turned out that because of Barkley's and O'Neill's "contemptuous words", the ratings have been rising.
Kenny Smith is desperate, the world is unfair, how come these two fat guys are the most popular commentators...

Today's game is very interesting, not only the Warriors' brutal record this year and the Lakers' brutal record last season, but also not only the Lakers and the Warriors are basically determined to meet in the Western Conference Finals this year.
Another very important point is that the victory of this game will be related to whether the Warriors can become the second team in NBA history to win 30 consecutive victories.
The NBA's historical winning streak is the 33-game winning streak the Lakers have maintained. It is also the only time in NBA history that the Warriors have won more than 30 games in a row. If the Warriors defeat the Lakers, even if they lose the next 31st game, even if their record suddenly changes. Bad, it will still be recorded in the history of the NBA.
The Lakers naturally don’t want the Warriors to share the only glorious victory of more than 30 consecutive victories in history, just as the Celtics are desperately trying to trade draft picks to reinforce the lineup and try to return to the championship to attack the Lakers, everyone. All just want to monopolize the glory, not share it with each other.
By 4:30 in the afternoon Los Angeles time, the Hawks and Raptors game was drawing to a close, and the Lakers and Warriors had entered the field to prepare for the game.
Lakers coach D'Antoni and Warriors interim coach Walton came to the technical stage to greet.
"Luke, I didn't expect you to be even better than Cole. As expected, Jenny didn't misunderstand the person." D'Antoni said intentionally.
"It turns out that Jenny is also very optimistic about me as a coach? I thought no one was optimistic about me. You see I am just an assistant now. The head coach is temporary." Wharton looked like I didn't understand.
"Haha, I am looking forward to our fight today, I want to see what you can do to beat your own system, I am looking forward to it!" D'Antoni did not continue the slightly gunpowder topic, but talked about the game. Things.
"Haha, you deserve to be the best coach. Have you got something from me?" Wharton laughed. Speaking of the game of Death Five, Wharton is most worried about being learned by D'Antoni, but What does it matter? Only the Warriors and Lakers with Green and Green can play that style.
Today is Christmas, and the opening pre-game activities are quite special. The Lakers invited the most famous American country singer, Josh Turner, who has a perfect baritone, to sing the American national anthem before the game.
Finally, a series of pre-game activities are over, the Hawks and Raptors games are also over, and the Christmas battle between the Lakers and the Warriors is about to begin.
The starting lineups of the Lakers are Clarkson, Kobe, Liu Ren, Green and Gasol.
Antetokounmpo and Whiteside were placed in the second team to enhance the strength of the second team. The Warriors started too strong and it would be difficult to win without starting from the second team. The first time this season played against the Warriors has proved Up to this point.
The Warriors start here with Curry, Klay Thompson, Barnes, Randall and Jason Thompson.
The starters of the two teams came to the court, Randall and Gasol jumped to the center circle.
Gasol lost the jump ball, he was embarrassed! Whiteside played the starting jumper so well, winning at least eight times out of ten times, but once he returned to the starting line... he was embarrassed.
However, Randall's physical talent was indeed lacking, and he easily dropped the ball into Curry's hands.
After Curry advanced to the frontcourt, he continuously changed directions and went off Clarkson and went near the free throw line. When the Lakers' main defensive team Erie was on Curry, Barnes took advantage of Randall's pick and roll to get an open opportunity. Li turned his head back to pass the ball to Barnes.
Barnes was really a thief this year, and the ball fell into the Lakers' basket with a "swish".
This is really helpless. Kobe can’t keep up with any of Curry, Klay Thompson, and Barnes, but Barnes is the weakest, so Clarkson and Liu Ren defended Curry and K. Ly-Thompson, Kobe went to defend Barnes, but he didn't expect that Kobe would still be unable to keep up with a pick and roll.
But the Lakers had expected this~EbookFREE.me~ After Barnes hit, Green picked up the ball and served quickly.
Liu Ren and Clarkson went down quickly, but Wharton seemed to be ready long ago. After Barnes took the shot, except for Randall who stayed on the frontcourt to grab rebounds, the other four, including Barnes, who had just shot the shot, were all directly. Withdrawal, did not give the Lakers a chance to counterattack.
The Lakers still fell into a battle of positions.
D'Antoni's eyes lit up and he got another way to defend the Warriors.
The Lakers' rapid offense after scoring was originally invented by D'Antoni, but it was learned by Wharton and integrated into the five death tactics, and then carried forward to the extreme, making the opponent feel difficult to entangle.
In fact, it’s not that no team knows to return to defense quickly. It’s just that the Warriors’ five players are quick, and other teams always have centers. No matter how fast it is, it is impossible to be as fast as the Warriors with small forward speed. Warriors The team can easily form a 4-on-3 or 5-on-3 situation, so no one has thought of returning to defense in this way.
But the Lakers are different! They can simulate the Warriors' play in the most complete way!
