On December 26th, the NBA ushered in the much-anticipated Christmas War, but I didn't expect that in the first three games, the league's signature players James, Brother Alphabet and Curry's team all lost, the opening game of the Christmas War Bucks lost to the Knicks, the Warriors lost to the Nuggets, and the Lakers surrendered early to the Celtics. The Bucks, Warriors and Lakers are all popular teams in the league, but unfortunately they all lost in the Christmas game.
For the NBA league, it is natural to hope that the top superstars and popular teams can play well on a key game day like the Christmas game, but unfortunately the Bucks, Warriors and Lakers all lost, and the performance of the signature players was not satisfactory. In addition to Brother Alphabet's 32 points, 13 rebounds and 6 assists, James and Curry performed poorly, James was 5 of 14, and was replaced early after a mistake in the final quarter. Curry was 7-of-21 from the field and complained after the game about the unfairness of the referees.
If the team with high popularity and traffic can win the battle of life and death, the superstar also has a good performance, and it is also good for the promotion of the NBA and the Christmas game, but as of now, the league must be disappointed, the popular team is gone, and the top and signature stars are not performing well.
James set another record, as the highest scorer in the Christmas game, James surpassed Kobe Bryant in free throws and moved to second all-time. At the same time, James has now participated in the NBA Christmas War for 18 consecutive years, the first person in history, unfortunately he has suffered 3 consecutive defeats in the Christmas War, the last three losses to the Nets, Mavericks and Celtics, and every game his Lakers score 115 points, and the opponent scores more than 120 points, which is ridiculed as the Lakers' "Christmas War 115 Losing Law".
In this way, the Warriors and Lakers are still on the verge of the playoff tournament, although these two teams have a number of top superstars, but the overall performance is disappointing, and it is considered that there is little hope of hitting the championship, after all, there are too many strong teams in the West, and the core of the Warriors and Lakers is also old. After the Bucks ended their winning streak, they were gradually widened by the Celtics, who were the first in the East.
