On December 25, the league arranged three Christmas games, two in the east and one in the west.

The Christmas battle has always been a stage for stars, and only teams or players that are favored by the league are eligible to participate. The worst-popular among them are the Celtics. They participated because of the team's giant gimmicks. Stern has always hoped that the Celtics would rise again, but unfortunately Walker and Pierce Gemini are not very successful.

The Wizards led by Michael Jordan did not participate in the Christmas game. Jordan's popularity this season is so low that even if he shouts that he will retire, fans will not feel much emotion.

The Wizards in the Summer introduced two players, Larry Hughes, and an outstanding veteran. The media hyped for a while, but the Wizards' record was still very bad and ranked outside the playoffs.

In the Eastern Conference defender selection, Jordan is currently ranked fourth behind McGrady, Kidd and Iverson. In all positions, even the Pistons blue-collar Wallace is more popular than Jordan.

In the two games that the Eastern Conference started first, the Nets beat the Celtics 117-81. Kidd led the team to score in double digits. The Celtics Wang Zhizhi came on as a substitute for 11 minutes, scoring 6 points and 1 rebound.

The Magic defeated the Pistons 104-99, and McGrady scored 46 points, 6 rebounds and 1 assist, and was in the limelight.

Then, the Lakers vs. Suns game started at the Staples Center.

Guo Xu was the first to play for the Suns. Before the game, Lakers boss Jerry Bass presented Guo Xu with the championship ring from last season. The two hugged each other and the fans cheered and cheered together.

Guo Xu's first match against his old club, Los Angeles fans were not disgusted, but just missed him a little. Many people think that if Guo Xu hadn't been there two years ago, the Lakers might not have won three consecutive championships.

This is the most gimmick game today, and it was David Stern's proposal. The president felt that the Kings failed to cause much trouble for the Lakers last season, and the stars were easily injured. It would be better to replace it with the "Civil War between the Three Lakers".

The president has a strong crow mouth. Kings point guard Bibi just returned, and Weber was injured again. Injury caused Weber to be unable to reach the top of the NBA. If he only looked at the data, he could compete for the regular season MVP for several seasons, and then he would be finished by looking at the attendance rate.

Many TV stations broadcast the game live, espn, cctv5, tnt, etc.

TNT Radio's ratings have increased a lot this season. They found retired stars Kenny Smith and Charles Barkley to comment on the commentary. The effect was unexpectedly good. The style of their talk show was deeply loved by the audience.

Sometimes, they also perform sketches.

Before Yao Ming first played against the Lakers for the Rockets, Barkley and Smith bet that if Yao Ming could score 19 points in a game, he would kiss Smith's butt. As a result, Yao Ming quickly made Barkley's "dream come true" and scored 20 points on 9 shots with O'Neal absent.

Later, Smith found a donkey to replace him. A sign hung around the donkey's neck with "Kenny" written on it. Barkley is an honest person and really kissed the donkey's butt in the live broadcast room.

Before the game started, "Big Mouth" Barkley commented on Guo Xulai.

"There are many people on the Internet discussing Jason Guo's historical status. Oh my god, this kid is only 21 years old. He recently led the Suns to 6 consecutive victories, but I want to say that this is just the regular season, and his basketball career has just begun. This is so exciting. Only a person like me who has retired for several years can be called history."

Smith smiled: "If he brings the Suns to win the championship, you will surpass you, you have only played in the Finals once."

"I hope he can lead the Suns to the championship. He is a very amazing player, and his nickname is much cooler than I did back then." Barkley touched his big belly, wondering if he had eaten less, would he have a better career?

Smith said: "I think the Lakers will definitely strive to win today. Bass and Kupchek also hope that the home team will win. If the OK combination loses to Jason, fans will definitely be even more dissatisfied with the management's decision not to keep Jason."

At this time, Old Bass didn't regret it so much. Guo Xu's commercial value is high and Kobe is not bad either. He felt that when he encountered injuries, Guo Xu led the Lakers might not be able to do better than Kobe.

Head coach Phil Jackson has been depressed for a long time. He can't continue to pretend to be 13 quietly on the sidelines. He has difficulty communicating with Kobe. Without Guo Xu doing things in the locker room, the OK group has conflicts.

These things made Jackson feel a headache, and now he can't trade Kobe. Kidd, who he values, and Guo Xu, led the team to achieve good results, and it must be the team's non-selling products.

After warming up, both sides appeared, and the Suns played small ball tactics again. The five were Guo Xu, Joe Johnson, Kirisek, Marion and Stardameier.

Five Lakers: Fisher, Kobe, Fox, Samaki Walker, O'Neal.

When everyone looked at the lineup, they felt that O'Neal was about to explode. Sir lost two laps and could not withstand people at a low post. The Lakers also had to withstand major tests on the defensive end. They were not easy to defend Guo Xu, and Fisher would definitely not be able to do one-on-one.

O'Neal won the jump ball and the game began.

Kobe received the ball from the right and faced Joe Johnson. The Suns were defending by man and did not take joint defense as usual. There were many people who could shoot three-pointers.

As soon as he saw Guo Xu, Kobe became selfless and gave O'Neal a ball to the low post on the right.

Kobe will pay attention to the news at home. Many basketball experts believe that Kobe and O'Nealdo's cooperation are the only way out for the Lakers, saying that it is easier for him to win like Guo Xu.

Kobe occasionally listens to some opinions. This season he has increased his three-point shooting, with a good shooting percentage of 38%, setting a career high. People say that Guo Xu is highly offensively efficient, so Kobe wants to prove that he can also shoot three-pointers.

After receiving the ball, O'Neal pushed Xiao Si and turned around in the middle, bent his knees and lowered the center of gravity, raised the ball with his hands and swayed, Xiao Si was shaken.

O'Neal stepped forward and forced Si to shoot with one-handed shot from close range and caused a foul. Si's center of gravity was unstable and sat on the ground.

Compared with O'Neal, Sir is too thin, and the strength of the two is not on the same level.

The referee blew 2+1, and O'Nealga made a free throw. He was in good shape today, 0-3.

At this time, a funny behind-the-scenes footage appeared on the court. When O'Neal was on a free throw, Guo Xu walked up to him and hit him, which received warm applause from home fans.

Barkley smiled and said, "Jason is completely different from other players when playing against his old club. Everyone else holds up their energy and shows off. This is what he is coming back to play."

Smith smiled and said, "I'm here to visit my relatives. Los Angeles fans like him. Unfortunately, the Lakers really can't renew their contract. If he gives him a maximum salary contract, the team's annual salary will be more than 70 million."

Barkley was stunned for a moment and smiled and said, "More than 70 million is not very high. The Knicks are almost 100 million. Of course, the rules are destined to be renewed, so there is nothing we can do about this."

The Suns attacked, and Sir went out of the three-point line to cover Fisher. Guo Xu moved horizontally to the right and made a jump shot from the three-pointer, but O'Neal did not replace the defense.

Fisher was slow to chase the defense, Guo Xu made a quick shot, and the ball was hollowed into the net! 3 to 3.

When facing other teams, O'Neal hated defending pick-and-rolls, and when facing Guo Xu, he didn't change defenses and just focused on the center. He developed bad habits in the past two years and often got off work in three quarters. How could he be active in defense?
