NBA's No. 1 guard

Chapter 162 Fighting the Pelican

The whole day on the 23rd, Xu Xiang and Mallory were preparing for Christmas!
In the United States, Christmas can be said to be their most important holiday, which is equivalent to the "Spring Festival" in our country, and it has extraordinary significance to them.

Xu Xiang compared whether it was a special cold, but "people are in the rivers and lakes", many things can't be controlled by themselves.
At 8 o'clock in the evening, after finishing the final "Christmas tree", the two lay on the sofa exhausted.

"Honey, where are Mom and Dad?" Mallory asked weakly.

Today they finished off the last bits of the attic, plus "handmade" a "Christmas tree", and they're exhausted.

"I don't know, I didn't call, but it should be soon, and I will be there tomorrow at the latest." Xu Xiang looked at his phone, it was already past 8 o'clock in the evening, and it would be soon anyway.

"Tomorrow, I have a game. If my parents come earlier, I need you to pick them up. I will come back immediately after the game." Xu Xiang looked at the Pacers' schedule on his phone.

This year's "Christmas War" has already been arranged. On December 12th, US time, there will be five games starting from the morning, namely:

New York Knicks vs. Washington Wizards
San Antonio Spurs vs. Oklahoma State Thunder

Miami Heat vs. Cleveland Cavaliers

Chicago Bulls vs. Los Angeles Lakers
Los Angeles Clippers vs. Golden State Warriors

The current vane of the league is still on Lao Zhan and Nao Ke. The Warriors, who have joined the T1 series, have gradually become the hot target of the league. The Knicks and Wizards are all because of the city. One is in Washington, the capital of the United States, and the other is in New York, the most famous and prosperous city in the United States!
The Spurs are the defending champions and must give this face. In addition, most of the members of the Spurs are "old guys", which is in contrast to the "double young" of the Thunder.

Needless to say, the Cavaliers are fighting the Heat, the "old friends" are together, and it is at the Heat's home court, Xu Xiang feels that something should happen
The Bulls have Rose. This year, Rose has not encountered any injuries.

In the last game where the Clippers played the Warriors, the "traditional point guard" vs. the "unreasonable point guard" was also very visual!
It's a pity that although the two teams in Los Angeles have a "Christmas Game", they only have one stadium. In the end, the Clippers will be at the Staples Arena at home, while the Lakers need to go to Chicago!

Xu Xiang looked at this comparison table with disdain, why is there no Pacers?why?

Who are you looking down on?

"Why didn't you guys play in the Christmas game? I think you played well!" Mallory, who was next to him, came over and asked suspiciously.

Xu Xiang smiled wryly and said, "Maybe there will be us next year, but this year's schedule is already arranged by them. They didn't expect that the Pacers, who were supposed to be a "salted fish", could achieve such results."

"It's fine if you don't have one. We can be together as a family at Christmas, otherwise you have to go to the game." Mallory turned his head and said softly.

"Are your parents coming over tomorrow too?" Xu Xiang asked as he stroked her hair.

"Yes, they will come over tomorrow, and they won't go back until Christmas is over, and then they will invite your parents to Milwaukee." Mallory said comfortably while lying in Xu Xiang's arms.

"Okay, then you can follow, I don't necessarily have time." Xu Xiang slid it off his hair as he touched it, skillfully unbuttoned it, and stretched it in. The instant slippery feeling almost made him cry out comfortably.

"Oh, it's so cold, take your hands away." When Mallory saw Xu Xiang's appearance, he was out of breath. It was already winter, although the floor heating was turned on in the room, but when Xu Xiang's cold hands touched her skin, she was still shivering from the cold!
"Come on, girl, let's go and see how it feels to sleep in the attic today!"

"Let's go!"

December 12 at 24 a.m., Bankers Life Arena.

Xu Xiang received a call from his parents in the morning, saying that he had already arrived in Chicago and would take a connecting flight to Indianapolis later.

Mallory didn't come to the game today either, she was waiting for a call at home.

"Today, the Pacers and the New Orleans Pelicans are playing against each other. Both sides are people with "super rookies". I don't know what kind of sparks will be created." Teacher Wang said in the studio.

"Nongmei is a really talented person. His long arms and big hands are simply too terrifying, and we all know that Xu Xiang is leading the team with a single core. The result of this game is really hard to say." Teacher Su said with a smile.

"Tomorrow is Christmas. This year's Christmas game must be very good, but when it comes to breaking the Heat against the Cavaliers, I don't know how many people will pay attention to it. It's a pity that the Pacers didn't make it. If Paul George hadn't been injured, it would have been possible."

Mr. Wang said this to feel sorry for the Pacers. Every Christmas game will improve the reputation of many stars. You must know that there may be many celebrities and stars that can only be seen on TV when you go to the game that day.

"But it's okay. Not this year, but next year for sure. I'll leave that here." Teacher Su said firmly.

"Here it comes, the two sides have given the starting lineup, the Pacers: George Hill, Xu Xiang, CJ Myers, David West, Roy Hibbert."

"Pelicans:Jrue Holiday, Austin Rivers, Luke Babbitt, Anthony Davis, Omer Asik"

"There is no problem with the lineups on both sides. They are very routine. It depends on how they play."

"Here came the jump ball and Hibbert once again won the ball for the first attack!"

On the court, Xu Xiang slowly dribbled the ball and stared intently at Austin Rivers in front of him. That's right, this guy's father is the son of the famous coach Doc Rivers.

Xu Xiang remembers that soon, he will be forced to join the Clippers by the old Rivers. This is also the first time that NAB's father and son have played in the NBA with a master-apprentice relationship!
The game ended quickly. With 7 minutes left, Pacers coach Frank Vogels replaced the bench and announced that he had given up the game.

The final score was 99-92. Xu Xiang basically didn't play in the fourth quarter. He played 21 minutes and only scored 16 points, 3 assists and 0 rebounds. On the opposite side, Brother Nongmei bombed indiscriminately. Finally, he scored 30+10 and took away the Pacers in a wave.
