On December 24, Beijing time, the annual Christmas war is coming. For the NBA league, it's a big event, not only for showdowns of more popular teams, but also for ticket revenue. There are also huge revenues such as various events, television broadcasts, advertising and so on. So the NBA office is looking for ways to make the Christmas war work. A few days ago, the league issued a policy: the Christmas war needs to adopt a more stringent testing method, not only the players, but also the fans, staff, etc., all need to test negative many times before they can enter the field. In many Christmas wars, there is one game with high attention: the Lakers host the Nets. These are the two most popular teams, but they have both suffered from the severe impact of the epidemic, and the excitement has dropped a lot. 9 players, Nets play Lakers! Harden has less power to soar, Warcraft makes an emergency comeback, and Emperor Zhan shows his might.
Nine players play, the Nets play the Lakers
The Nets have postponed three games because of the health and safety agreement triggered by multiple players on the team: Nuggets, Wizards, and Blazers. According to Nash, Harden, Millsap and Jerwan Carter have lifted their health and safety agreements, we've got eight people together, and the plan now is to fly to Los Angeles tomorrow and get ready for a Christmas fight.
According to the Nets' official list, there are 9 people who can play in the Christmas war. They are: Harden, Mills, Griffin, Millsap, Carter, Clarkston, Galloway, Ennis, harrison. Only the top 3 are the team's regular rotations, so the Nets' game against the Lakers may be more sinister. Although the Lakers have also suffered from the epidemic and injuries, their core James, Westbrook, and Anthony can all play.
Harden vs. Soar
Nets vs. Lakers, Harden and Westbrook meet again. Both began their careers with the Thunder, competing for the title in the Rockets, and then going their separate ways. In fact, Wei Shao and Harden have known each other since they were very young, and the two can be said to be small, teammates, friends, and brothers. When he left the Rockets, the contradiction between Westbrook and Harden was exposed. Although the tactical concepts for the team are different, it does not affect their private feelings.
This season, the two men have played almost the same personal data with "sharp minds". Westbrook averaged 19.5 points, 7.8 rebounds, 8.2 assists and 4.6 turnovers per game, shooting 45.5 percent from the field. Ha averaged 20.8 points, 7.9 rebounds, 9.6 assists and 5 turnovers, shooting 40.4%. On the list of mistakes, they are number one and two. Harden vs. Soar, who is better?
Warcraft made an emergency comeback
For the Lakers, they also ushered in a good news: the emergency comeback of the Warcraft Howard. After the thick eyebrow injury, Howard was isolated, Jordan Jr. was useless, and James was too tired to play as the Lakers' main center. Now, the comeback of warcraft has freed James, who can move to position 4 or 3, and the consumption will be greatly reduced. In today's game against the Spurs, there's a good chance Howard will play.
Against the Nets, Howard's comeback will dominate the interior. According to Nash, Clarkston will most likely not play against the Lakers. Then, the Nets' interior line is only Griffin, and Howard's role will be highlighted.
Emperor Zhan showed his might
There's been a lot of news about James lately, but most of it's been negative. For example, the former knight said to Shumpert on the show: James ruined the game of basketball and opened the group mode. Cavaliers reporters, US media, including domestic reporters have reported: James is expected to return to the Cavaliers, but it is uncertain whether it is a transaction or a contract expiration and then return. In the face of these "gossip", James's best response is to lead the Lakers to win the game.
The Christmas Battle is a nationwide live game against the Nets, and james leads the team to victory. In this game, James should show his might and show his dominance.
