Chapter 148
Chapter 145 The Battle of Christmas
In the NBA, there are four kinds of games that attract the attention of fans the most, and the ratings are generally very high. First, the finals; second, the playoffs; third, the All-Star Game; fourth, the Christmas game.

The first three need not be repeated.

The Christmas War is a game played by the NBA on Christmas night in the United States.

In the United States, Christmas is equivalent to the Chinese New Year. If there is a competition today, it will be a dialogue between strong players. It can be said that there will be a gathering of superstars. The Christmas game has always been a grand event in the NBA, and the ratings have always been high.There are not many games that can be arranged, usually four to five games.

Like the Chinese Spring Festival Gala, not every team can participate in the Christmas game. The NBA also has a certain criterion for the selection of the annual Christmas game, and this criterion lies in the word "gratitude and hatred".

There is no world without grudges, and the NBA itself is a world.

Here, the so-called "grievances" can be the beams formed by the poignant playoff battles, the riots caused by the fight of fists and kicks, or the open arena where popular stars compete for popularity and market. Everything is designed to attract attention.

In order to attract attention and create the greatest comprehensive benefits, the NBA even spared no effort to artificially concoct the so-called "enmity". The "Yao Shark War" is the best example.Although Yao Ming performed extremely well in his rookie season, it is nonsense to say that he can compete with Sharks.

Therefore, the alliance is well versed in the way of "if there are conditions, it must be done, and if there are no conditions, it must be done". This is also an important reason why there is such a gimmick as the "Yao Shark War".

Although, most players are not very interested in the Christmas game. On such an important festival, not being able to be with their families is as annoying as having to work overtime on a statutory holiday.

Another point is that no one likes this kind of gimmick. For example, Yao Ming and Shaq O'Neal themselves are extremely resistant, and they know how to avoid conflicts with each other on various occasions, but they are kicked away by the profit-seeking alliance. On the front desk.

For this reason, in the history of the league, countless classic games have emerged on Christmas Day.

公牛VS尼克斯(1992年)、公牛VS热火(1997年)、湖人VS76人(2001年)、湖人VS国王(2002年)、湖人VS火箭(2003年)……等等这一些比赛都被球迷奉为经典圣诞大战了。

This year's Christmas War also has this trend.

This year's Christmas game is also very interesting. The match between the Heat and the Lakers, that is, O'Neal VS Kobe, is a sensational matchup. At the same time, it is accompanied by the Pistons and Pacers, two powerful teams that entered the Eastern Conference Finals last season.

So no confrontation, enough gimmicks.

The most powerful OK combination of this century disintegrates, each is king, and encounters as opponents on the court, such a gimmick is enough.

People are eager to see what kind of sparks will be created in the process of encountering the team that once created the dynasty as opponents in the game.

In addition to the Lakers vs. Heat, another thing I have to mention is the Pistons vs. Pacers.

No one will forget this season. At the end of the season, the biggest "boxing match" in the league will be staged at the Palace of Auburn Hills. No one will forget the grievances between the Pistons and Pacers last season. The Pacers fought seven games.

Therefore, this year's Christmas, the Pacers' Christmas game against the Pistons is also known as the most exciting and emotional "Christmas game" in NBA history.

For, after the battle at the Palace of Auburn Hills, the two sides moved to Indiana again.

Fans have never cared about the outcome of this game. They are more concerned about whether the second season of "Championship" will be broadcast in Indiana. This is what fans care most about.

The Pistons and Pacers have had a long-standing grudge, and although they haven't been able to describe it as a "feud" like the Celtics and Lakers once used this time, their games can't be achieved without any "pre-game mobilization". Classic duel, Pistons and Pacers do not have these dramas, however, they are real 'enemies'.

It's the 'enemies' who are naturally extremely jealous when they meet.

Pacers fans will never forget how the Pacers eliminated the Pistons last season, and they will never forget how the Pacers eliminated the Pistons this season because the Pistons Ben Wallace punched the Pacers' main force who should have been the favorite to win the championship. Area suspension, dropped from powerful to middle and low level.

No one will forget this.

The Pacers have had a long history of grudges.

It is also for this reason that on the day when the Pacers played against the Pistons, Indiana's Conseco Arena was on the verge of a big enemy, and a hundred additional security guards were temporarily deployed in a circle around the arena. Behind the Pistons bench were even more 10 security guards were arranged to watch every move of the fans; a layer of oilcloth was set up on the aisle leading to the locker room in the arena to prevent fans from throwing things when the Pistons players entered and exited.

Seats around the field were tied together, and impulsive fans couldn't pick up their chairs like they did in Auburn Hills.

The Pistons brought three bodyguards to Indianapolis, and usually they only have one bodyguard with the team when they go to other away games.

Although the battle between the Pacers and the Pistons has not yet started, all these things make the battle between the Pacers and the Pistons heat up rapidly.

Indiana and Detroit are not big cities like Los Angeles and Miami, but because of the grievances between the Pacers and the Pistons, this also led to the Pacers vs. Pistons game, which attracted countless fans to watch the game. The number of spectators even surpassed the Lakers vs. Heat , The duel between Kobe and the Sharks.

Fans are bad, and they are also looking forward to the second season of 'Champions of the Rings' to start.

Many of the Pacers fans who came to watch the game were holding blue plastic cups with a small placard next to it that said, "Hey, throw the Pistons fans' cups. I'm going to lose my temper!"

Of course, this is just a joke. If these people really dare to do this, it would be strange not to be thrown out by the bodyguards around the court. These fans were embarrassed by the bodyguards, and explained with a smile, "It's completely Don't worry, the glass is empty, there's no beer in it."

Even though he said so, the bodyguards present were still extremely worried. If the more than 1 fans really rioted, the consequences could be imagined.

Although, the game has not yet started, but because of the superposition of the previous grievances and grievances between the Pistons and the Pacers, although this game has not yet started, the sidelines are already extremely hot.

Pacers fans are also looking forward to the Pacers being able to avenge the Pistons at their home court.

However, it is not easy to get revenge on the Pistons.

One of the most important reasons is because the Pacers are short of manpower.

Although, in this game, Jermaine O'Neill came back for the Pacers.

But it's still not enough.

There is also the question of how the Pacers should deploy the inside line when Xiao Ao is back. It is indeed a problem.
