super small forward

Chapter 618 618. The Christmas War Begins!
Sorry for being a bit busy these two days and writing less, it will be fine after this week is over.

……

Liu Ren took three women to the banquet, one of them was pregnant, and there were two little lolis... Not only that, Abby and Ajiali who happened to live in Beverly Hills were also invited, Abby Fortunately, after glancing at Liu Ren, he went to interview some players, and Ajiali immediately joined the women in Liu Ren's family.

Liu Ren felt deep envy, jealousy and hatred.

Since everyone brought their family members, the Warriors players dare not invite any Los Angeles ladies, celebrities, or some models, unless they are single, and most of them are not single, so they can only bring With his girlfriend or wife, of course they are all monogamous, only Liu Ren brings a bunch of girls.

"Hey, Zach, these women are all boss women? I've heard that the boss is a lover, but I didn't expect it to be so powerful!" Barnes asked in front of LaVine.

If it's just that they are good at picking up girls, Barnes doesn't think much of it. Klay Thompson and Kobe are both good at picking up girls, but they still only have one wife, and they never dare to have ambiguous affairs with other women in front of their wives, but Liu Ren came here directly in three or four!
"Well, they all live at the boss's house." It's hard for Lavin to say, because Liu Ren seems to be really serious, and has never crossed the line with Monica or big Lolita in front of him, but so An ascetic beauty and a two-dimensional beauty are at home, Lavin doesn't believe it has nothing to do with Liu Ren.

"It's really great! Zach and your girlfriend are so beautiful, and Los Angeles is great!" Barnes, who didn't find a girlfriend today, said enviously.

"By the way, Harris, where is your girlfriend? You won't be without a girlfriend today, right?" LaVine asked in surprise.

Barnes nodded aggrievedly.

"No way! You're a Warriors player. God saw the news that a bunch of Hollywood ladies went to Oakland to hold a party with you, but you didn't get any of them? Or are you three seconds faster?" LaVine asked strangely, and then used He teased a word learned from Liu Ren that most Americans don't understand.

"Those women are all here for Stephen, Clay, and Andre. I'm just a small player in the team. How could those ladies like me." Barnes laughed at himself.

"It seems that our Lakers are better. Now even Robert is surrounded by a bunch of women 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 a chance to perform, and everyone is very popular." Barnes said from the bottom of his heart.

LaVine was a little surprised, and Barnes seemed to be looking forward to playing for the Lakers...

……

On the other side, Kobe and Curry, Iguodala, Green, Gasol, Monroe, Whiteside, Metta World Peace, Durant, Westbrook... a group of big guys started to gamble.

Clarkson, Thackeray, Randall, Livingston... These are either young or low-status players. Then also participated in it.

The women are all together or showing off their clothes and bags, or discussing life, or starting to gamble for small money like the men, and Vanessa and Curry's wife Ayesha, who have a good relationship with the chicks Surround Monica and ask if the child belongs to Liu Ren, and then discuss parenting experience...

Only Klay Thompson and Liu Ren began to fight each other again, and they didn't even go to the poker game.

"Boss, you see! This is called inviting guests. Look at us, we have prepared everything, and even invited a five-star chef from the hotel, and there are all kinds of fun. Think about how you entertained me ?” Klay Thompson sneered while showing off.

"Oh, five-star chef, you voted for 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're so despicable!" Klay Thompson's eyes widened.

If you go to Liu Ren's house and can't even eat the Japanese food made by the big loli and the Chinese food made by the little girl, it will be boring to death!And it is impossible for Klay Thompson not to accept Liu Ren's invitation, because being invited by Liu Ren is a very face-saving thing for the NBA. I heard that even Westbrook and Durant have never been invited, and they are not recognized yet. How could he, who is a superstar, give up such a face-saving thing?
Klay Thompson didn't continue to complain, but looked at Liu Ren with faint eyes...

……

……

Christmas Eve was still very happy, everyone decorated a huge Christmas tree together, watched talk shows together, ate and played together, but they couldn't drink, because there was a Christmas battle tomorrow.

The hospitality of the Warriors is also very good, there are enough rooms for those who come to play overnight, Liu Ren lives close to Kobe, Monroe and others, but they go home to live.

Finally, Christmas came, and when the Lakers players came to the Staples Center, the arena also had a strong atmosphere of Christmas.

The Lakers newly promoted team operations president Magic Johnson put on Santa Claus clothes to give gifts to the players. This is probably the first time that the team's quasi-leader actually got along with the team players. The players were very excited , The magician is worthy of being a magician, and a small move has improved the cohesion of the team.

Today is a carnival for basketball fans in Los Angeles. There will be two Christmas games at the Staples Center, especially the game between the Lakers and the Warriors. Tickets for a regular season game have been sold to the scalpers as hot as last season's finals.

The first Christmas battle started at 12:[-] pm in New York time, and the first Christmas battle started at [-]:[-] noon in Los Angeles time.

The game between the Cavaliers and the Knicks was very exciting. The confrontation between Anthony and James will never be short of highlights. The strength of the lineups of the two teams is not far behind.

However, the Cavaliers led by James are still better after all. In the first Christmas game this year, James led the team to the Knicks 102 to 97.

The game between the Cavaliers and the Knicks was very exciting, which made a good start for this year's Christmas game.

However, the next game between the Eagles and the Raptors was not so good. , It turned into an ugly defensive game, which is simply a replica of the Spurs playing the Pistons in 05.

Just when the fans in front of the TV were about to fall asleep, a lineup of commentators composed of two big fat guys and a scheming man squeezed into the TV screen, and the fans instantly regained their spirits. These three people appeared, dressed like that Clothes, that means their most anticipated game is coming!

Kenny Smith, a scheming man, looked helplessly at his No. 1 Lakers short-sleeved jersey. If he couldn't beat O'Neal and Barkley, two fat guys, he would definitely pull it off immediately, and then duel with the two fat guys.

But the arms of Barkley and O'Neal are thicker than Kenny Smith's thighs. Kenny Smith thought about it and thought that wearing Liu Ren's jersey is not 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's Lakers are about to end the Warriors' 29-game winning streak!" O'Neal said loudly.

"Hey, 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 posture 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 weakly.

But Kenny Smith is destined to be unable to finish a sentence, and O'Neal came again: "My Lake will definitely avenge the last time, and will defeat the Warriors as the team with the longest winning streak in history. It will give the Warriors a chance to surpass me! I don’t even need me to attack those warriors with small arms and legs, and the boss can smash them with the super offensive skills of this great mentor..."

Kenny Smith looked at the producer with grief and anger, but the producer held a sign in his hand, which read: "Charles, Shaq, keep going, don't stop!"

It turned out that because of Barkley and O'Neill's "nonsense", the ratings have soared.

Kenny Smith is desperate, the world is not fair, why are these two fat guys 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 Warriors are basically determined to meet in the Western Conference Finals this year.

Another very important point is that the outcome 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 record is 33 consecutive victories maintained by the Lakers, and it is also the only time in NBA history that exceeds 30 consecutive victories. If the Warriors beat the Lakers, even if they lose the next 31 games, even if their record suddenly changes. Bad, it will still be recorded in NBA history.

And the Lakers naturally don't want the Warriors to share the glory of the only 30-game winning streak in history, just like the Celtics are desperately trying to trade draft picks to strengthen the lineup and try to return to the championship ranks to snipe the Lakers. They all just want to monopolize the glory, not share it with each other.

By 04:30 in the afternoon of Los Angeles time, the game between the Eagles and the Raptors was coming to an end, and the Lakers and Warriors had entered the arena to start pre-game preparations.

Lakers head coach D'Antoni and Warriors interim head coach Walton came to the technical stage to greet each other.

"Luke, I didn't expect you to be stronger than Cole. Sure enough, Jenny is right." D'Antoni said pointedly.

"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 only an assistant coach now, and the head coach is all temporary." Wharton looked like I couldn't understand.

"Haha, I am looking forward to our match today. I want to see how you can 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 are indeed the best coach, and you have already got some of my things to you?" Walton laughed. Speaking of the style of death five, Walton is most worried about being learned by D'Antoni, but What does it matter?Only the Warriors and Lakers with Green and Randall can play that style of play.

Today is Christmas, and the opening pre-game activities are quite special. The Lakers invited the most famous country singer in the United States, Josh Turner, who has a perfect baritone, to sing the American national anthem before the start of the game.

Finally, a series of pre-match activities are over, the game between the Eagles and the Raptors is also over, and the Christmas battle between the Lakers and the Warriors is about to begin.

The starting lineup for the Lakers is 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 are too strong to start. It is difficult to win without starting from the second team. The first time this season and the Warriors have proved up to this point.

The Warriors started Curry, Klay Thompson, Barnes, Randall, Jason Thompson.

The starters of the two teams came to the court, and Randle and Gasol came to the middle circle to jump the ball.

Gasol lost the jump ball, he was very embarrassed!Whiteside hits the starting jumper so well he wins it at least eight times out of [-], but once he's back in the lineup... it's embarrassing.

However, Randall's physical talent is indeed no one, and he easily put the ball into Curry's hands.

After advancing to the frontcourt, Curry continuously changed directions and passed Clarkson to the free throw line. When the main defensive force on the Lakers side, Yili, was on Curry, Barnes used Randall to pick and roll to get an open opportunity. Riley returned the pass to Barnes.

Barnes was really accurate 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 one, so Clarkson and Liu Ren defend Curry and Ke Lay Thompson, Kobe went to defend Barnes, but Kobe was caught by a pick-and-roll and couldn't keep up.

But the Lakers had expected this, and Green immediately picked up the ball and made a quick serve after Barnes hit.

Liu Ren and Clarkson went down quickly, but Walton seemed to be ready for a long time. After Barnes made the shot, except for Randall who stayed in the frontcourt to grab the rebound, the other four, including Barnes who had just shot, all directly Retreating did not give the Lakers a chance to counterattack.

The Lakers still fell into a positional battle.

D'Antoni's eyes lit up, and he got another way to defend the Warriors.

The Lakers' quick offense after scoring a goal was originally invented by D'Antoni, but was learned by Wharton and integrated into the death five tactics, and then carried forward to the extreme, making opponents feel difficult.

In fact, it is not that no team knows to return to the defense quickly, but the five players of the Warriors are all fast, and other teams always have a center, and it is impossible to be as fast as the Warriors with the speed of a small forward. After all, the team can easily form a 4v3 or 5v3 situation, so no one thought of returning to defense in this way.

But the Lakers are different!They can simulate the Warriors' style of play in the most complete way!
