Chapter 68 The Easy Christmas War

Beating the Rockets is not a big deal, nor is it news that LeBron James scored 27 points, 9 rebounds and 5 assists.

But this game, the ratings in China exceeded [-] million.

How true this number is is unknown, but there is no doubt that after this game, the league once again saw the power of Chinese fans.

The most obvious change is that next to the Cavaliers' home court, there are many more Chinese advertisements.

The Cavaliers uniform team is very happy about this.

This is an unexpected income.

For Qin Yang, this game did not bring any changes to him.Rest, training, competition, rest, training, competition... This is a cyclical process.

In a foreign country, Qin Yang persisted in this way.

Of course, it's not without changes.

For example, Christmas is here.

Christmas is one of the most important holidays in the United States. On this day, almost every American will shop, have a big meal and rest.

But for NBA players, Christmas means games.

The Christmas battle has attracted a lot of attention in the alliance.

Teams that are even close will not get a chance for the Christmas game at all.

As a small city team, the Cavaliers can get a lot of attention because of James, and the opponent in the Christmas game is the Wizards.

After a day off, the Christmas battle is coming.

This game is actually very boring. Although the Cavaliers declared that they attach great importance to this game, but within the team, they did not pay much attention to the Wizards.

The core of the Wizards this season, the general Arenas, one of the three outside guns, was reimbursed for the season and played less than ten games. In this case, it is difficult for the Wizards to pose a great threat to the Cavaliers.

Arenas, who has been on fire for three seasons, was supposed to have a match of the century with the Cavaliers on Christmas this season, but who knew it would fail.

But after the first quarter, the Cavaliers trailed by 2 points.

Nothing is impossible in the NBA.

Caron Butler faced James and was suppressed in all directions, and his performance was very different. It stands to reason that the only person on the Wizards who can stand out is Antawn Jamison.

But the role players of the Wizards were in excellent condition in this game and hit one after another.

In the first quarter, James mainly focused on assists, but his teammates hit the iron one after another, obviously a little careless.

After Qin Yang played in the second quarter, the situation changed.

In the Christmas game, no one wants to play a defensive game. The Cavaliers not only want to win at home, but also win beautifully.

Originally, before the league's next season, the plan was a duel between General Arenas and LeBron James. Now that the gimmick is gone, it is already very embarrassing.

During the break, the coach gave instructions:
"This game played a smooth offensive coordination and played beautifully. Otherwise, will the fans watch a defensive game at Christmas?"

When Coach Brown said this, the other players were very happy.

But Qin Yang didn't say a word: "How come the coach has changed, isn't he always focusing on defense?"

After saying this, Coach Brown looked at Qin Yang and said, "Bruce, in this game, you should control the ball more, pay attention to passing the ball more, and play wonderful cooperation."

"Ok sir."

Qin Yang answered yes.

At the beginning of the second quarter, Qin Yang broke through the defender directly, attracted the defense after entering the basket, and assisted James to dunk a score.

This ball was just the beginning, and the Cavaliers' scoring frenzy began soon.

Mo Williams made a mid-range hit, Big Z made a low-post wipe, Delonte West made a three-pointer, and Qin Yang made a super long-range three-pointer.

In a wave of 16-7, the Cavaliers not only moved back the score, but also widened the point difference.

The Wizards' lineup has a lot of flaws, the outside line is slow, and the inside line is not hard enough.

In other words, the Wizards are really a lineup of five forwards and guards. Almost all of them are a combination of forwards and guards. They are strong to some extent, but as long as their weaknesses are caught, they will be beaten easily.

Except for some troubles caused by Antawn Jamison to the Cavaliers, the normal game is in the rhythm of the Cavaliers.

In this game, Qin Yang scored 13 points and 14 assists, and the Cavaliers were more successful. Mobuchuan and James scored 20+ points, Delonte West scored 15+ points, two other players scored 10+ points, and four players scored more than 5 points. Almost all the Cavaliers played well.

The Christmas battle passed in a hurry, and after two days of rest, the game continued.

The Cavaliers host the Heat.

The day before the competition, Qin Yang rarely reduced his training and went to the hotel for a party.

When he first arrived at the hotel, Qin Yang saw an idle player at the door. This player had tattoos, looked arrogant, and was far away from other players.

"Bruce, here."

James shouted loudly from afar, with a smile on his face.

Qin Yang walked up quickly and greeted the others.

"Dwayne, this is Bruce, the best rookie of the year." James pulled Qin Yang to make an introduction, which made Qin Yang secretly happy.

James is good at being and talking.

"I know, you are outstanding, and I was just like you in the first year." Wade said with a smile, shaking hands with Qin Yang.

"Thank you, you know, I have good teammates." Qin Yang also made a joke.

This good teammate refers to LeBron James.

The three immediately laughed, and the atmosphere was extremely harmonious.

The party started quickly, with players from the Heat and Cavaliers nearly all coming.Qin Yang also knew a lot of players, such as Sean Marion the Gibbon, Cook who was good at three-pointers, Haslem who was undrafted and became the team's starter, Mario Chalmers, the former NCAA champion point guard, and so on.

But when Qin Yang saw Michael Beasley, the No. [-] pick in this year's draft, he realized that this person was the player who looked at him with disdain at the door.

"You are Bruce, the so-called best rookie of the year?"

Beasley walked over with a pooh smile and said.

James and Wade and other core members were absent, and the others did not dare to say anything.

Beasley is a high-ranking draft pick in the league. No matter how you say it, his status is much higher than the average player.

Qin Yang was slightly upset, and said, "Who told you? The best rookie, are you talking about the best rookie? I think it's Derrick Rose's stuff. Besides, do you care about these things?"

Beasley was taken aback for a moment, and said angrily:

"Derrick Rose, no, Rookie of the Year is definitely mine."

"If you want to fight for it yourself, I don't want to. What I want to do is to become a superstar. As for the best rookie, that's nothing."

Qin Yang didn't care about expressing his goal.

Beasley's expression froze for a moment, but he felt bored instead.

"You're very interesting!" Beasley smiled and said something ambiguous, and Qin Yang curled his lips: "You're very boring."

"Ha ha!"

Beasley laughed and handed over a cigarette: "Would you like to try it, it's very refreshing."
