Basketball: Beginning with a double-kill high school James

Chapter 118 The Timberwolves Strike

The girl named Katie wasn't pretentious either, and started to stand on both sides of Li Qi with Hai Lin. After Li Qi signed a pair of sneakers, the two of them sent them to the fans. Although there were two more shields, the Portland female fans still went forward.

On the 24th, Li Qi signed a total of more than 1 pairs of sneakers. In the end, his signature was no longer written, it was just scratching, but the fans still flocked to it. It is worth mentioning that more than 1 pairs of the 4000 pairs of sneakers are women.

James' side signed [-] pairs less than Li Qi's side, but considering the price of the other side's sneakers, the sales in Portland still had an advantage on the other side.

After the sneaker signing, James returned to Cleveland without staying in Portland. After all, he had to play the Christmas game.

As for the matchups in the Christmas game, just as Stern thought, the fans did not buy into the third group.

'Why the first two groups are dialogues between the strong and the strong, and the last group is the dialogue between the bottom ones. "

"Tracey's pull-up is very good-looking, but his pull-up can't help Orlando make the playoffs this season."

………………

Stern threw these comments from the fans in front of Silver. Silver's face was very ugly. He always felt that Stern valued the Eastern market too much. No one in this world is indispensable. Michael Jordan retired, but the NBA has not collapsed, right? That guy Stern, why does he care so much about the distant Eastern market? After all, the NBA is still a league in North America.

But Xiao Hua didn't say anything. He knew that this was Stern's ultimatum to him. He made a mistake this time. Compared with Yao Ming, Stern valued Li Qi more, because Li Qi was an outside player, and he led the team.

On the other hand, Li Qi had a very comfortable Christmas. The helper Katie did not leave, but spent Christmas together with Li Qi. Of course, Li Qi’s family was not only Li Qi and Hai Lin, but Milicic and others also came together. Everyone chatted while watching the Christmas battle, and the atmosphere was very happy.

Li Qi also knew the name of Hailin's best friend—Katie Hudson, which was not the name Li Qi remembered, but it was understandable, after all, the name Katie was quite common in the West.

The duel between the Lakers and the Bulls was scheduled to start at 08:30 prime time in the evening. Whether it was Yao Ming or O'Neal, they performed well in this game, especially O'Neal made 18 of 12 from the free throw line, which completely disrupted Skiles' strategic deployment. The game, but it can be seen that the Lakers are deliberately playing back. Except for Kobe in the F26 combination, the other three players do not have a strong offensive desire.

For the Bulls, Crawford, Yao Ming, Hinrich, and Chandler all played well, especially Crawford, who came off the bench and scored a game-high 30 points, which can be said to be the biggest contributor to the Bulls' victory.

The current team configuration of the Bulls is much better than the mosaic in the historical space. There are all types of players, and Skiles is not a very rigid head coach like Xiao Fan who does not know how to adapt.Although he is not a top coach, at least he didn't make Yao Ming gain weight inexplicably.

The Cavaliers and Magic were placed at 02:30 in the afternoon during the day. As a result, the attendance rate was the lowest among the three Christmas games. Although Tracy McGrady and James scored high scores, the two teams did not play fiercely, far less good than those two games.

Around Christmas, except for the Orlando Magic who were frantically shaking their wits in the transfer market, the other teams were very quiet, because the Magic didn't plan to coax Tracy to play anymore. The seven-year $00 million contract signed in 9000 was so far away, so it's better to trade this guy.

The Trail Blazers ushered in their post-Christmas opponent, the Minnesota Timberwolves, at home.The Timberwolves have an 18-9 record this season, and Garnett has a good chance of getting his first MVP. However, with the three-team deal with the Mavericks more than a month ago, his MVP was in turmoil. This away game with the Blazers cannot be lost.Because the Portlanders are their rivals in the same district, the Nuggets and Jazz are currently in a loose state this season, especially the Jazz. If the Trail Blazers get the first place in the division, then it will be very passive for the Timberwolves in the playoffs.

This game was not broadcast live nationwide. The teams in the Northwest Division were notoriously unpopular with the league. The Sonics and Trail Blazers were a little bit better, but the Timberwolves and Jazz were really miserable.

Because of Li Qi's relationship, Garnett did not usher in a madman, but the CIC king Alan Houston seemed to play better in the Timberwolves system than Sprewell, because the CIC king is better off the ball, and Garnett himself is not a core that particularly needs the ball, so it is not surprising that the Timberwolves have a record of 18-9.

The starting lineup sent by the Timberwolves is very targeted, Cassel, Alan Houston, Trendon Hassell, Garnett, Irvin Johnson, the Blazers are still the previous five players Li Qi, Madman, Corey Maggette, Randolph, Milicic.

During the jump ball between the two sides, Garnett still passed the ball to Cassell in front of Milicic, and Cassell passed the ball to Garnett in front of him. Garnett was in the paint at this time, and Randolph used his strong bottom plate to support him. slightly inferior.So Sanders replaced Szczerbiak with Trendon Hassell. As for the opponent's dissatisfaction?Garnett directly punches you.

The CIC king took the ball and passed the madman in one step with the rhythm. Li Qi let go of Cassel and made up the defense. attack.
