I am Really an Insider

NBA Christmas Game, this is a game that pushes the commercialization process of the game to its peak.

The Christmas fight doesn’t have to be good-looking, but it must have a gimmick.

And gimmicks are exactly the specialty of Stern, the master of the art.

This year's two Christmas battles were personally arranged by Stern.

The most important game is undoubtedly the Los Angeles Lakers' away game against the Miami Heat.

Shark and Feixia have been facing each other for so long, and they can finally knock each other's heads off in an official game.

Although the Lakers' record this season is incomparable to that of the Heat, it's just a gimmick, and it's just an operation.

What does the NBA look at? Isn’t that just personal sophistication?

Putting the two teams with the best records together to play, fans may not necessarily buy it.

But when two teams full of grievances are put together to play, fans will not miss it.

So in the first game of the Christmas game, Stern arranged for the Pacers and Pistons, old enemies from last season's Eastern Conference finals.

At that time, Stern just wanted this game to be the appetizer and dessert between the Lakers and the Heat.

Although the Pistons and Pacers played excitingly in the Eastern Conference Finals last season, the Pistons were still the defending champions.

But to be honest, before the start of the season, Stern did not think the influence of these two teams could be compared with that of Kobe and Shaq.

But now, everything has turned around.

Due to the impact of the previous incident at the Palace of Auburn Hills, the game between the Pacers and the Pistons attracted more attention than the Lakers VS Heat and became the real highlight of the Christmas game!

Logically speaking, he should be happy to be able to create such a lucrative competition.

But at this time, seeing that the Christmas War was about to begin, Stern was very nervous.

Well, compared to last time, the lineups of both teams in this game only lacked one Ben Wallace.

Although it is missing an important combat force, but... this fight is not impossible!

Scared, Stern was really scared.

He doesn't want the Pacers and Pistons to have another brawl in a nationally broadcast game.

Especially when the two guys, Wayne and Rasheed, started to be at war with each other before the game.

Basketball doesn't lie, I will use basketball to solve problems.

Wallace once again brought out his classic mantra at the regular press conference before the game.

Basketball doesn't lie, so the last time the Pistons lost to us by so many points is a testament to the strength of both sides. Maybe Rasheed has forgotten what happened last time, it doesn't matter, I am willing to let him recall it.

Faced with Rasheed's provocation, Wayne fought back. He did not become a good kid because of his 15-game suspension.

Seeing Wayne and Rasheed exchanging blows in the air, although they did not wave their elbows, the Pacers fans still cheered: Ye Qing is back!

This is the Pacers, this is the temperament this team should have.

Fake Pacers: Afraid of losing before the game even starts, losing two games in three days.

Real Pacers: I felt like I could win the game even before the game started. Well, at least I didn’t lose in terms of momentum.

Wayne is very good at temperament.

Stern felt that he was even more nervous. You guys have just started school and you want to take a vacation again.

I might as well ban you for 70 games next time to avoid any trouble!

In order to ensure that the game can go smoothly, Stern specifically told the referees on duty that day: Pick up your Italian whistle and blow it hard! If their confrontation becomes even slightly fierce, just stop the game!

To be honest, Stern no longer cares whether the game is good or not.

It doesn’t matter if this is the final scene of this Christmas war.

Safety first, safety first!

It's too difficult for Stern. He feels that what he is organizing is not a basketball game, but a crowd fight.

In this way, the two sides arrived at Christmas Day on the 25th in a noisy manner.

This time last year, Tony treated Wayne to a slice of pizza.

At this time of year, Tony can only watch Wayne's game at home while eating pizza.

In this game, the battlefield between the two sides changed from the Palace of Auburn Hills to the Bankers Life Arena.

Although it was Christmas Eve, there were still crowds of people outside the arena before the game started.

Many of them didn't even buy tickets for the game, but they just wanted to gather here to build momentum for this battle.

During the interview, the reporter discovered that many people who came to watch this game were not actually Yincheng fans.

Some people traveled thousands of miles to come here just for this unprecedented battle.

This made the reporters very strange: Since you have to travel far to watch the game, why not go to Miami? The games there are obviously more star-studded. As a neutral fan, watching the games there will make you more attentive. Experience it?

However, the fans' answer left the reporter speechless: Miami? There was nothing interesting about that game. You didn't think Kobe and Shaq could really compete, did you? They just had a bad fight. It really depends on the long-standing duel. , but also to see Wayne and Rasheed!”

The reporter just wanted to say something nice at this time, Co-author, you are not a basketball fan, but a fighting fan! Excuse me.

At home, Chinese fans finally saw the Chinese God of War Wayne again after more than a month.

The live broadcast of today's game has just begun, and the ratings have reached a season high.

Since his last fight, Wayne has become a legendary figure in the country.

After all, everyone has only heard the news about Yao Ming being bullied by others. This time it is a Chinese player who bullied others. How can Chinese fans not like it?

What a long face!

Therefore, no Chinese fans are willing to miss Wayne's first game back.

Today's Christmas game is a very coincidental one! Wayne met the Pistons in the first game after his comeback, hahahaha. People are really looking forward to the process of this game.

I just hope Xiao Wei can control his emotions this time and win with basketball.

Zhengping and Weiping kept talking to each other, almost lifting the commentary table to talk about cross talk.

A small sixth man came back after a suspension, but the situation was like the comeback of an old gangster.

From this point of view, there is nothing wrong with banning Big Ben for 20 games.

For a player like Wayne who has a high ability to attract money, banning him for more than one game will be a loss!

The fighting atmosphere outside the stadium is so strong, let alone inside the locker room.

I must take revenge today! Zitai kept shouting in the locker room, making it seem like no one knew that he dared to be so arrogant because the opponent didn't have a strong player.

Yeah, okay, okay, I know you're good, so stop yelling. Carlisle felt reassured about Artest, after all, he was the least threatening person the last time they really fought.

Moreover, Artest must have been very heartbroken when he was recently suspended for 15 games. If he is suspended again, Artest's salary losses this season will be too great.

Even the most impulsive person will never have trouble with money.

Therefore, the coward should just be the one who shouts the loudest and hides the furthest away.

Don't worry, duck doesn't have to worry.

In this way, after being suspended for 15 games, Wayne finally put on the Pacers jersey and stepped onto the court.

Under the gaze of hundreds of millions of eyes around the world, the two sides reunited again!

After Wayne came on the court, he took a deep breath of air in the stadium.

It’s really been a long time!

At this time, behind the commentary desk, Mike Breen was already chatting with the fans about the game.

“The biggest highlight of today’s game is to see if Ron and Wayne’s comeback can pull the Pacers out of the mud.

As we all know, the Pacers' record during this period is very bad. Even after Jermaine and Stephen came back, the situation didn't get better.

But today, the key pieces of the Pacers' puzzle pieces came together. Let's wait and see whether they can return to the top of the Eastern Conference.

After Wayne stepped onto the court, he looked at Rasheed.

When Rashid saw Wayne looking at him, he put on an expression like Come and try? If you try, you will die.

To put it bluntly, he is tough with a hint of nervousness. He is calm on the surface but panicked on the inside.

Rashid let out a sigh of relief when he saw that Wayne did not continue to walk towards him, but began to interact with a female fan in the stands.

I was scared to death. I thought I was going to be beaten again. I thought I was going to be suspended again.

On the other side, Wayne didn't even bother to confront Rasheed.

Today, he had an important guest, and he had no time to spar with Tianzun who was being chased and beaten by him.

Hello, I'm glad you're here.

Wayne approached the stands and shook hands with Sharapova, whose face was covered in collagen behind the Pacers bench.

Of course, Merry Christmas, Wayne.

Merry Christmas. Well, if I am unhappy, it depends on whether I can win this game.

You can definitely do it, work hard. Everyone is waiting for you to come back, including me! Without your games, the NBA will lose a lot of fun.

Fun are you talking about the fun of basketball or some weird fun?

After a few brief greetings, Sharapova sat down silently and looked at Wayne, while Wayne's eyes fell on the opposite half.

On the other side, Artest looked at Wayne's back with gloomy eyes.

This seems to be a large Shura field.

Damn, this kid really asked me out. And, it's actually a bit intimate. For some reason, Artest felt so unwilling!

Can a guy like Wayne get a date with a girl? There is no justice!

Oh, little girls nowadays just lose their most basic judgment when they see a handsome boy.

It's hard for you to meet a truly outstanding man like me!

Hey, what are you muttering about? Why don't you warm up quickly? At this time, Wayne turned around and called Artest.

Come on, come on, come on. Hey, Wayne, if something happens today, you must run to me quickly so that I can protect you, do you hear me? Artest's face suddenly changed, and he was pissed. I ran to practice ball like crazy.

It's true that you are strong behind others but cowardly in front of others.

Twenty minutes later, the starting players of both sides stood in their designated positions and the game was about to begin.

On the Pistons side, since the most severely beaten Ben has not yet passed his suspension period, they can only use 36-year-old veteran Eldon Campbell as the starting five.

Campbell had a peak performance of his career in the 1991 Finals, scoring 21 points in 27 minutes. He was a typical example of pretending to be dead in the regular season and pretending to be in the finals.

But at this time, Campbell, who has reached the end of his career, is just an ordinary blue-collar insider with no real threat.

Therefore, Carlisle has already decided - Wayne will start today and O'Neill will play the fifth position!

This also means that Wayne and Tianzun will meet from the first second of the game!

Looking at Wayne's half-smiling expression, Tianzun was really a little panicked.

Carlisle did this on purpose!

I just said it casually before the game, why did you take it seriously?

You're going to beat me to death as soon as you come up! ?

There's nothing wrong with it, we're all old acquaintances.

The game officially started, O'Neal won the first attack ball for the Pacers.

The cheers at the scene were deafening, and the complete lineup that the fans had been waiting for finally appeared on the court again.

As soon as he came up, Wayne set up a screen for Artest, who took the opportunity to shake off the little prince and hit a mid-range pull-up jumper.

Artest, who returned from a 15-game suspension, scored the first point of the Christmas Day game for the Pacers.

The Pacers are in good shape. Although Wei and Ron have been away from the game for a while, they entered the state very quickly!

Is it possible that I'm in bad shape due to a duel with Wayne every day?

When the commentator praised Artest, Artest himself was already floating.

We will win this time too, no one can stop me, no one!

After Artest scored, there was a lot of ridicule. Billups looked at No. 91 and couldn't help but shook his head.

It’s not up to you to get the horse egg.

The Pistons quickly counterattacked. Why did they want to lose to the Pacers?

I have never fought before, so I have to find my way back to basketball.

Billups used Wallace to cover the breakthrough, but after just two steps, he used a breakthrough ball to give the ball to Hamilton.

Facing Miller, Hamilton wanted to fight directly.

But at this time, he saw Rasheed occupying a position in the low post!

Rashid and Wei, they started a duel as soon as they came up!

The on-field referees were so nervous. I guess the last time they were so nervous was the day their wife gave birth to a baby.

Stern clasped his hands in front of the TV. These two guys had better not cause any trouble today!

Rashid received the ball and tried to get closer to the basket.

The last time the two sides faced off, although Rashid was beaten in the fight, he remembered that he had the advantage in the low post.

Wayne seemed to have a hard time resisting his own onslaught.

Well, in Rashid's eyes, falling down in embarrassment after being removed from the bench is called taking advantage.

So today, Rasheed repeated his old tricks, preparing to attack Wayne from the low post.

The first time Rasheed leaned back, he deliberately saved his strength. It can be seen that the last time he was thrown to pieces, it still left a psychological shadow on Tianzun to some extent.

The result of sparing effort is obvious. Tianzun didn't even push forward half a step this time.

Didn't you eat? You must have exerted your strength. Wayne began to whisper in Tianzun's ear. If he refused to fight, everyone would try to be more elegant.

Well, he is really elegant in conversation and fragrant in speech.

Fuck. Rasheed was indeed a little angry. In that case, don't blame me for bullying!

So for the second time, Rashid leaned back with all his strength.

Then

boom!

There was a loud bang, and Rashid himself almost dropped the ball due to the fierce confrontation!

This Tianzun couldn't help but look back. It was Wayne who was guarding him, right?

When did this kid become so capable in the low post?

Are you using too much force? Don't kid me, Rasheed. Wayne was extremely proud. I rounded up the strength to 110. Are you kidding me?

Um? Why do you feel like it wasn't this high when you rounded it last time?

whatever!

Seeing that he couldn't get through, Rashid used his signature straight-arm turn over shot.

But Wayne blocked it immediately. Even for Tianzun, who had a high shooting point, this ball was quite guarded and the shot was very difficult.

The basket made a crisp sound, and Tianzun's first shot over Wayne's head hit the frame!

Tough defense, Wei's performance in this defense was impeccable!

Wayne quickly grabbed the rebound and shook his head at Rasheed.

Basketball never lies, boy.

You are the boy, your whole family is all boys, no matter how big or small! Tianzun was so angry that he started to curse on the spot.

Of course, this time his roar was all silently cursing in his heart.

On the field, the roar of the roaring Tianzun could no longer be heard.

It seems that being beaten up is quite memorable.
