Every Christmas, the NBA arranges several heavyweight games, known as the Christmas Wars.

Many classic battles have also occurred in the Christmas Wars over the years.

The Bulls in the Jordan era, the 76ers in the Iverson era, the Lakers led by the "OK" combination, and the Cavaliers led by the Little Emperor are all regulars in the Christmas war.

It can be seen from the games that the NBA officially arranges every year that the most important grudges and grudges in the Christmas war are gimmicks, not just strength.

There is no world without grudges!

David Stern, who is good at hype, hopes to use the Christmas holiday to make the NBA more topical.

This year's Christmas war, this little Jewish old man specially arranged a few more interesting games.

The first is the grudge showdown between the Cavaliers and the Magic.

Last season, the Cavaliers led by James were eliminated in the Eastern Conference Finals by the Magic led by Howard.

When the two sides meet for the first time this season, there will naturally be some different sparks.

Next is the contest between the Lakers and the Warriors.

At this stage, the Lakers have achieved a record of 22 wins and 5 losses, ranking first in the Western Conference.

The Warriors achieved a record of 15 wins and 13 losses, ranking eighth in the Western Conference.

This kind of matchup can be regarded as an advance stage for the first round of the Western Conference playoffs.

Moreover, the showdown between the league's popular superstar Kobe Bryant and the league's popular rookie Sun Yi is also quite interesting.

It can be said that this Christmas war is no less than the grudge showdown between the Cavaliers and the Magic.

As for the other Christmas games, they are basically just a handful, and the popularity cannot be compared with these two games.

As the Christmas war approaches, David Stern uses the resources at his disposal to vigorously promote and report on this year's Christmas war.

In order to pursue the popularity, some media reporters specifically approached Kobe and asked him what he thought of this Christmas war.

"I believe this game will be great. I am very interested in the No. 9 rookie of the Warriors. I heard that he is the same type of person as me. I am looking forward to playing against this guy."

Regarding Kobe's answer, media reporters did not find a gimmick and could only dig out some bad information from Sun Yi.

But the media reporters were dumbfounded. The Warriors conducted closed training and could not interview Sun Yi at all, so they had no choice but to let it go.

At the same time, Sun Yi, who was in the midst of a public opinion storm, was practicing hard, trying hard to improve his strength before the Christmas war.

The progress was good. When he practiced with Curry, he used 5x training bonus cards and 10x training bonus cards to gain a large number of training points. He finally accumulated 1 million training points on the eve of the Christmas game.

.

"Ding! The system upgrade conditions have been met. Do you want to upgrade?"

"upgrade!"

Without any hesitation, Sun Yi made a decisive choice.

"Ding! The system has been successfully upgraded. Congratulations to the host for obtaining 10 non-attribute points and unlocking an additional badge equipment slot."

After the system's prompt voice ended, Sun Yi couldn't wait to open the personal properties panel to check.

"After upgrading, attributes such as speed can be increased."

Sun Yi felt happy when he saw the number appearing again behind the speed attribute.

By adding points this time, he will definitely give priority to improving his physical attributes to make up for his lack of talent.

Immediately, Sun Yi began to add points.

"Ding! Warm reminder, after each attribute exceeds 80 points, every 1 point increase will cost 2 points."

Sun Yi was stunned when he heard the system prompt voice, and then showed an expression of "I knew this would happen."

After complaining about the system in his mind, he started to add points.

First, spend 1 point addition to increase the bounce attribute to 80 points.

Then, spending 8 points to increase the speed attribute by 4 points.

The remaining 1 extra point is spent on the rebounding attribute.

After adding points, Sun Yi checked his personal attribute panel.

Personal attributes:

Technical attributes; ball control: 72, passing: 70

Offensive attributes; three-pointers: 55, mid-range shots: 82, layups: 75, free throws: 90

Defensive attributes; rebounds: 73, steals: 70, blocks: 65, lateral speed: 80

Physical attributes; Speed: 861, Endurance: 922, Jump: 802, Strength: 811

"The training in the past few months is still effective. Each attribute has almost improved by 1 to 5 points. Only when you make progress will you be motivated to train."

After checking, Sun Yi turned off his personal attributes, and then spent the few remaining training points to enter the virtual dreamland for special training to adapt to the skyrocketing speed.

December 25, Los Angeles, Staples Arena.

It can be said that tonight is a star-studded event, with celebrities and superstars from all walks of life coming to the scene one after another to watch this highly anticipated Christmas battle.

Sitting in the front row on the left are handsome guys such as DiCaprio, David Beckham, and Jason Statham.

Sitting in the front row on the right are Scarlett, Jessica Alba, Taylor Swift, Megan Fox, Anne Hathaway and many other eye-catching beauties.

The exclusive area for Warriors relatives is also filled with beauties.

Lily Collins, Ayesha and other teammates' girlfriends sat in the exclusive area for players' relatives behind the Warriors bench to cheer on the Warriors.

Amid the cheers of the fans, players from the Lakers and Warriors came to the court one after another.

After Sun Yi stepped onto the court, he went straight to the Warriors bench and went up to say hello to Lily Collins.

"Why didn't you bring your friends to play with you?" Sun Yi asked curiously.

"They are unable to come because of something unexpected, so Ayesha and I are here to cheer you on." Collins said with a blushing face.

"Merry Christmas, have fun tonight." Sun Yi said with a smile without thinking too much.

Collins was stunned when he saw Sun Yi's innocent smile. He came back to his senses and hurriedly replied: "Sun, I also wish you a Merry Christmas."

"If I can win this game, I will definitely be very happy." Sun Yi said jokingly.

"Work hard, you can do it, I believe you can do it."

"Then let me lend you some good words."

After a few simple greetings, Sun Yi said goodbye to Collins and went to the court to warm up.

During the warm-up activities, Kobe, as the owner of Staples, stepped forward to exchange a few words with the two rising stars Sun Yi and Curry.

"Sun, Stephen, welcome to Staples Arena." Naochi said enthusiastically.

"Kobe, nice to meet you." Sun Yi and Curry replied in unison.

"I heard that your training was so intense that even Ellis couldn't bear it and got injured. I'm very interested in this." Naochi said with great interest.

"It's all rumors from the outside world. Ellis' injury has nothing to do with me. If the training intensity is indeed a bit intense." Sun Yi scratched his head and said.

"Oh, then I'd like to see it. Let's train together if we have time during the offseason." Kobe invited him.

"Okay, if I have time, I will definitely come and train with you."

Sun Yi felt very happy, training with a superstar like Kobe, the training bonus would definitely be incredible, such a good opportunity would not be wasted.

After Sun Yi and others finished their exchange, they left each other's phone numbers and then returned to their respective warm-up halfs to continue their warm-up activities.

Not long after, the warm-up activities ended and the players from both sides returned to the bench one after another.

At the same time, the starting lineups of both sides were displayed on the big screen.

Warriors starting lineup: Curry, Ellis, Maggette, Sun Yi, Randolph.

Lakers starting lineup: Fisher, Kobe, Artest, Gasol, Bynum.

The referee blew the whistle and signaled the starting players from both sides to come to the center circle and prepare for the jump ball.

Sun Yi stood up from the bench and followed his teammates to the court.

At this moment, the system prompt voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

"Ding! Random mission triggered: Battle with the Black Mamba!"

"Goal 1: In the game against the Lakers, the host hits 3 fadeaway jumpers in front of Kobe; Reward: 1,5000 training points in white wristbands."

"Goal 2: In the game against the Lakers, the host's personal score is no less than that of Kobe Bryant; reward: green sneakers and 11,000 training points."

"Goal 3: Host gets 3010 data in the game against the Lakers; reward: green knee pads, 11,000 training points."

After the system's prompt voice ended, Sun Yi smiled and walked quickly towards the center circle.

When ready, the referee blows the whistle and throws the ball into the air.
