I'm really strong in basketball

The Eagles started the offense with Joe Johnson and Harrington holding the ball.

The offensive drought was broken, and the Eagles began to increase points again.

Of course, because the point difference is not small, the Knicks firmly control the situation on the court.

In the end, 107:93.

The Knicks continue their winning streak.

After the game, Paul put his hands on his hips and looked at the scoreboard, somewhat unwillingly.

This guy is an extremely competitive person with a very strong desire to win.

Liu He said from the side: "You will get used to losing to me!"

……

12 month 21 day.

The Knicks encountered the Spurs and ultimately lost the game 103:106. This was also the Knicks' second defeat this season.

The next day, the Knicks beat Salt Lake City.

Because Boozer is still recovering from his injury, the Jazz are missing an important part and are no match for the Knicks.

Then, it’s Christmas again.

This year, after careful consideration, director David Stern arranged a total of three Christmas battles.

Spurs vs Pistons.

Fans who like to watch Ball Planet may not necessarily like this game, but for those who like to watch team basketball and hand-to-hand combat, this will be a basketball feast.

The two opponents in last season's finals have plenty of cards and strengths.

Lakers vs Heat.

There's no end to the league's hype around the "OK" pairing, but the matchup between this pairing is really fascinating to fans.

Moreover, the Lakers and Heat are also the favorites to win this season. This is also a battle between Mars and the earth, which is very worth looking forward to.

To this end, Stern even gave up on the "New York and Los Angeles" drama.

It's just that there is only one Kobe Bryant in the world, otherwise two big plays would have been staged at the same time.

Knicks vs. Cavaliers.

There is no doubt that the Knicks have the strength and popularity to make it to the Christmas Day game.

As for the Cavaliers, after changing coach Larry Brown and trading for Hughes and Marshall, the Cavaliers have indeed improved a lot this season.

Stern did not give up on James and wanted to use the popularity of the Knicks to push James.

But the people in Cleveland don't think so. They think they can fight in the Christmas War because of their strength.

Clevelanders feel like they’re celebrating the New Year.

Well, Christmas in the United States is Spring Festival, the most important holiday of the year.

After two years, James once again appeared on the stage on Christmas Eve.

I still remember that in his rookie season, James played in the Christmas Day game. At that time, the Cavaliers he led and the Magic team led by Tracy McGrady were pecking at each other, which left a deep impression on the fans.

Although the Cavaliers were weak at that time, James' talent left a deep impression on the fans, and everyone felt that James had a bright future.

Then, James was dealt with by Liu He again and again, and the Cavaliers failed to reach the playoffs for two consecutive years... James can be said to have fallen behind the team in the 03 generation.

In particular, Liu He's performance is getting better and better, which makes James worse.

And tonight, James once again got a chance to prove himself.

Although Liu He dealt with him countless times, James regained full confidence this time.

You have the famous coach Nelson, and I also have the legendary coach Larry Brown.

You have strong teammates, and so do I.

This time, I want to take back everything that belongs to me.

The day before the game, James said in an interview: "People in Cleveland, tomorrow night, I will give you a Christmas gift!"

Christmas Eve night.

Madison Square Garden.

Players from both sides play.

The Cavaliers’ starting lineup tonight is:
Position [-]: Big Z.

No. [-]: Drew Gooden.

No. [-]: LeBron James.

No. [-]: Larry Hughes.

Position [-]: Eric Snow.

The Knicks’ starting lineup is still:

Chandler, Randolph, Liu He, Hill, White Chocolate.

Liu He ran out of the player tunnel, first waved to the fans on the sidelines, and then pointed at Scarlett Johansson on the sidelines.

Buckley started talking about the gossip: "Liu He changed his girlfriend again. This guy changes his girlfriend too fast. He changes his clothes even more frequently than I do."

Smith immediately pretended to be disgusted, covered his nose, stayed away from Barkley, and said disgustedly: "Oh, Charles, let me tell you why the studio smells bad. Your clothes are all rotten!"

Buckley raised his arms and smelled his armpits, and said with confusion on his face: "It doesn't smell! Come on, Kenny, I shower and change clothes every day, and I also spray perfume. That was just a joke. I just wanted to It’s said that Liu He changed girlfriends so quickly.”

Smith shook his head: "That's a person's right. He's not married and he's handsome. What's wrong with changing his girlfriend?"

Buckley nodded: "If I had Liu He's earning power, I would be more handsome than him."

But Smith complained: "No, no, no! Even if you make as much money as Liu He, those female stars won't like you, an old and ugly fat guy."

Barkley: "..."

That's very well said, don't say it again.

If you can't speak, speak less.

The game is about to start.

Players from both sides walk to the midfield logo area.

James greeted Liu He warmly and showed off his excellent communication skills.

In fact, ever since Liu He ruined James's show of throwing magnesium powder, the two of them were no longer dealing with each other.

James had no contact with Liu He in private, and even regarded Liu He as an enemy.

Of course, Liu He didn't care either.

I'm here to play ball, not to recognize my brothers.

But tonight, James was so enthusiastic...

Haha, Liu He knew it by heart. He knew James' tactics very well: warm embrace when winning, player tunnel when losing.

James looks like he thinks he can win tonight.

The sky cleared, the rain stopped, and James felt like he was okay again.

James also said specifically to Liu He: "Liu, Merry Christmas! I'm so happy to spend Christmas Eve with you."

Liu He replied: "LeBron, I hope your good mood can last all night."

Soon, the game begins.

Beep!
Chandler relied on his excellent jumping ability to leap high and return the basketball to the Knicks half.

White Chocolate advanced to the frontcourt and still passed Liu He's hand first.

Liu He relied on his height to easily hoist the basketball low.

Randolph caught the ball, faced Gooden, made a feint and then broke through, then got to the basket and forced a shot.

However, Gooden was very strong and firmly held his defensive position, never letting Randolph get out of the way.

Moreover, Gooden always raised his arms high and stood in front of Randolph, which caused enough interference.

It is obvious that under the guidance of Larry Brown, the defensive awareness and attitude of everyone on the Cavaliers have improved a lot.

No matter how many problems Old Brown has, his accomplishments on the defensive end are indeed great.

Due to Gooden's interference, Randolph failed to open up the situation with his first shot tonight.

And James retreated to the basket early, collected the rebound, and launched a fast break immediately.

James is still the same James, and the fast break is always one step faster than others.

Once he enters the rhythm of a fast break, James goes berserk and you can't hold him back.

In fact, even James, who is nearly 40 years old, still ranks among the top in the league in fast break points.James went down quickly with a single-arm tomahawk and violently bombed the basket.

boom!
0: 2.

As soon as James landed on the ground after completing the dunk, he imitated O'Neal's dominating step, roaring loudly as he walked, looking extremely excited.

Those who didn’t know thought he won the finals.

The Knicks attack.

Liu He reminded his teammates loudly: "Don't be anxious, everyone, keep your pace and play slowly. The game has just begun!"

Liu He took his time and continued to drop the ball low.

Randolph leaned against Gooden, using his big ass to dig in little by little.

However, Gooden was strong enough and never lost his position. Instead, he gave Randolph another chance to strike.

Bang!

James shrank to the basket early, got the rebound, and then launched a defensive counterattack, scoring another 2 points.

0: 4.

Liu He was still not in a hurry, and silently glanced at the sidelines. The Cavaliers bench silently adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and looked confident Larry Brown.

It has to be said that the Cavaliers' defensive capabilities have indeed improved to a great extent this season.

This is also the key to the Cavaliers' ability to stand out in the Eastern Conference this season.

Therefore, we can no longer underestimate others!
The Knicks attack.

Liu He summoned Chandler from the top of the arc to come out for a pick-and-roll.

Chandler used his tall body to block Hughes.

Liu He took the opportunity to speed up the breakthrough and get rid of the defender.

Da Z was forced to switch to defend Liu He.

But Big Z, who is 221cm tall, has always been known for his clumsy steps.

Big Z is one size smaller than Yao Ming, but he is not as flexible as Yao Ming.

Besides, Big Z, who was born in 1975, is also 30 years old this year.

The bodies of white big men often start to decline at this age.

Liu He accelerated violently, forced his way past Big Z, and headed straight into the penalty area.

But at this moment, Gudeng came to help in time.

This year, under the guidance of Larry Brown, the Cavaliers' defense has indeed improved a lot.

Not only personal defense, but also the team's assist defense and supplementary defense have been greatly improved.

But this defense is not enough to deal with Liu He.

Liu He was not impatient and waited for Gooden to pounce in front of him, then flicked his wrist and gave the ball to Randolph who was emptied under the basket.

At this moment, Big Z was taken out by Chandler, and Gooden was also attracted by Liu He.

Only Randolph was left under the basket. The round-faced fat man was not in a hurry. He gently put down his soft little hand and scored two points.

Swish!
2: 4.

The Knicks scored and the Cavaliers needed to serve a baseline kick.

This gave the Knicks enough time to return to defense and gave James no chance to counterattack defensively.

This time James could only slowly advance to the frontcourt and play with the Knicks.

James held the ball at the top of the arc and tried to break through.

But Hill firmly stood in his defensive position and stood between James and the basket, preventing James from breaking through.

James failed in his attempt and almost lost the ball. He could only retreat to the three-point line and continue dribbling to look for opportunities.

Here, James reacted quickly and summoned Gooden to come out for a pick-and-roll.

Gooden used his strong body to block Hill.

James took the opportunity to speed up the breakthrough and get rid of Hill's defense.

Randolph was forced to switch to guard James, but his huge weight obviously couldn't keep up with James.

James accelerated past Randolph, rushed into the paint, and rushed to the basket.

But at this moment, Chandler, who was nimble on his feet, had returned to the basket and stood in front of James.

Chandler, who is tall and has long arms, jumped up high, causing enough interference.

Due to Chandler's interference, James failed to score.

Bang!

The basketball came out of the hoop, and Chandler even took off a second time after landing to protect the rebound.

Chandler immediately found Liu He who was not far away.

Liu He went further and found Hill who was already on a fast break.

Hill caught the ball, made a three-pointer and rushed to the frontcourt in two steps, soared into the air and scored a dunk.

boom!
4: 4.

The Cavaliers attack again.

Facing Hill, James continued to look for opportunities, suddenly pulled up the ball while dribbling, and fired a cold arrow.

However, Hill was fully focused and did not give James a chance to play, but still interfered.

Bang!

James hit his second iron in a row.

Liu He collected the rebound and pushed forward slowly, but he knew it in his heart.

The Cavaliers have the famous coach Larry Brown and their lineup has improved a lot, but James is still the same James.

He is still invincible in fast breaks, but it is still difficult to achieve anything in positional battles.

Well, tonight, Cleveland fans may be disappointed because James will not be able to send them a Christmas gift package.

Liu He advanced to the top of the arc, continued to call Chandler to come out for the pick-and-roll, and then misplaced the position to deal with Big Z.

Big Z was passed by Liu He in one step in the last round, and this time he deliberately retreated to increase the defensive distance.

But this step was also a flaw in Liu He's eyes.

Liu He directly pulled up and shot a mid-range jumper right in front of Big Z.

When Big Z saw this scene, he rushed to block the shot, but he didn't have time.

The basketball drilled steadily into the basket.

Swish!
6: 4.

Unconsciously, the Knicks had launched a 6-0 attack wave, successfully turning defeat into victory and becoming the leading side.

The entire Madison Square Garden Arena became lively in an instant, with the beaming New York fans jumping, shouting, and enjoying their Christmas dinner.

The Cavaliers attack.

Led by the on-site DJ, New York fans shouted in unison to cheer for the home team.

"Knicks, defense!"

"Defense, Knicks!"

"Knicks, defense!"

James faced Hill. This experienced veteran still failed to find a suitable opportunity. He broke through to the mid-range and was blocked by Hill.

James forced a takeoff against Hill, but this was not the way he was good at scoring.

James missed his third consecutive shot due to interference from Hill.

Randolph collected the rebound and threw a long grenade-like pass into the frontcourt.

Liu He caught the ball and reached the basket in a few steps. Seeing that there were no defenders around him, Liu He slowed down, charged up his strength, and suddenly jumped into the air, completing a windmill dunk in the air.

boom!
8: 4.

"Hey guys, do you like it?"

Liu He, who landed on the ground, pointed at the fans on the sidelines and asked loudly.

The New York fans instantly became agitated and kept cheering for Liu He. (End of chapter)
