"You've been fighting the Christmas war for so many years, aren't you used to it?"

James came to the door with his own initiative, and Link couldn't ignore him. So Link could only look at Durant leaving with resentful eyes, and then started chatting with James.

"I won't get used to this kind of thing when I don't spend Christmas with my family for many times. And in the past few years, I played Christmas games at home, but this year I went to Memphis. My family won't be with me. To be honest, I'm really irritable."

"There's no way. I remember we were lucky last Christmas and had several days off. But this year, we're going to play games on Christmas." Link didn't want to play games on Christmas, but who is the Grizzlies are now the hottest team in the league?

So, Link told George this summer that as long as you have strong strength, even if you play in a small city, you are not afraid of not paying attention.

Among the teams participating in the Christmas game this year, the Thunder, Spurs and Grizzlies are all small-scale teams. As it turns out, this is not accidental.

Of course, if you want to consider factors other than basketball, it is indeed better for big cities. For example, in the original history, Iguodala chose to go to the Warriors, and in addition to basketball reasons, he also had his own business reasons. In San Francisco, Iguodala created his own business empire.

But for those who only want to play basketball like Link, it is no different in Los Angeles and in Memphis.

"Yes, yes, this Christmas, I'm the only one with you, hahaha. Dwyne often mentioned you this season. He participated in your training camp this summer and benefited a lot. He told me every day, tell me how powerful you are. In a week, can I feel that strength? Link."

James said, his smile gradually fading away.

The throne of the league number one is threatened. Do you think James is really willing? He just doesn't show his unwillingness directly like Durant and Bill Simmons.

He has always been committed to being a "perfect" athlete and being a good man. But this does not mean that James doesn't want to kick Link's butt.

"I think you will, LeBron. By the way, tell Dwyne and tell him Merry Christmas."

James is a little confused. Merry Christmas? What does it mean?

It is really unpredictable to two competitors who do not want to bring the conflict to the open.

But it doesn't matter, a week later, when Link and James met again.

They no longer have to treat each other so restrictively.

※※※

Before the Christmas game begins, the Grizzlies have two games to play. Both games are away games, against the Mavericks and the Knicks respectively.

In these two games, the Grizzlies achieved one win and one loss. Even if Nowitzki and Monta Ellis jointly scored 38 points, they still couldn't escape the misfortune.

Under Ellis' absent-minded defense, Conley easily scored 25 points. Adding Link's 28 points was enough for the Mavericks to have a drink.

The Mavericks have fallen rapidly since their peak in 11 years, and are one of the fastest defensive champions in NBA history. They can still play in the playoffs in the first year after winning the championship, and the Mavericks simply didn't even make it into the playoffs last season.

This season, the Mavericks' playoff prospects are still worrying. Faced with this team that once eliminated themselves, the Grizzlies have no mercy and can easily win.

But the battle in New York was not going well. Anthony finally won a game on Link this time, and he scored 38 points in the whole game, which was the highest score he had ever scored against Link in his career!

Anthony is in good shape today. Although the shooting rights are still unbalanced, unlike in the past, Anthony was able to shoot the ball this time and his shooting percentage was high.

In addition to Anthony, J.R. Smith, who "as long as he doesn't get fucked, all-stars every day", also performed bravely, making 4 of 5 three-pointers and scoring 22 points in the game.

On the other hand, although Link played against Anthony with 32 points, the Grizzlies lacked a role like J.R. Smith today. Nick Young got a lot of playing time today, but failed to draw.

In the end, the Grizzlies lost 4 points at Madison Square Garden and lost the second loss of the season.

After this game, Anthony was so excited. Since Link entered the league, he has no good results every time he faced Link.

From the Nuggets to the Knicks, from the West to the East, Link has always been an lingering haze for Anthony. As a "social person", Anthony has been repeatedly humiliated by Link's trash talk.

Today, Anthony finally got proud. In the Christmas game a few days later, the Knicks' opponent is the Thunder, and Anthony will also face off against another new era super forward Durant.

The victory of this game undoubtedly gave Anthony great confidence. Link got it done, are you afraid that Durant can't be dealt with?

As for Link, he was not as unwilling to accept the defeat in this game as he lost to the Thunder. After all, the Knicks are not the Grizzlies' mortal enemy. He and Anthony have not encountered each other a few times in a season, so there is no need to worry about it.

This is an ordinary defeat in 82 regular season games, that's all.

But that guy Bill Simmons didn't think so. It was rare to encounter such a thing, so Simmons naturally took advantage of the problem and started to break the blame.

But beyond Simmons' expectations, his attack on Link did not cause any trouble this time. His column did not become popular because of this, but instead had some meaning of a decline in clicks.

Simmons realized that when he went to Black Link, he would no longer get the support of the fans. Because everyone knew that Link would not keep losing like this.

Simmons just posted an article about Black Link. The next day, the NBA officially announced the results of everyone's second round of the All-Star Game.

In Simmons' article, he predicts that Link will be surpassed by James, Durant and Kobe, and will "collude" with Jeremy Lin in the fourth and fifth position.

However, the result was that Link still led the league with 854,000 votes. James, who ranked second, was not much different, only 4,000 votes. But even so, he could only rank second.

As for Kobe and Durant, they have not even reached 800,000 votes, and are still in the range of 700,000. Not to mention surpassing Link, they can't do anything even if they connect close.

Durant, ranked third, lost 70,000 votes, while Kobe, ranked fourth, fell 120,000!

Link and James are completely unique, so you don’t have to worry about being surpassed by others.

At this point, Bill Simmons was completely speechless. Even if Link didn't take action, he would still deal with him.

NBA legendary superstar, Hall of Fame member, Isaiah Thomas, one of the top 50 superstars, satirized Simmons after the results were announced.

"Do you think you are really omniscient and omnipotent? No, you are just a speculator. Sensationalism is the way you make money. And Link, he is a truly great player. You are not at the same level as him. So, shut up your stinky mouth!"

It was not surprising that Isaiah Thomas spoke for Link. As a result, he was also the target of Bill Simmons for a long time. Thomas' poor performance during his time as general manager was still teased by Simmons from time to time even though so many years have passed.

The second reason is that Link asked Jordan to lose money in the bet, which made Thomas admire Link even more.

Overnight, Bill Simmons became the object of despised by everyone. Simmons knew that he had to be quiet for a while this time. Otherwise, it would be like pushing himself into the fire pit.

"This kid is so popular now. There are so many people who have defended him after losing the ball." Seeing Bill Simmons being pissed by all parties, James felt sad for Simmons.

"The number of votes is more than you, can you not be very popular? But after today, people are paying more attention to the Christmas battle. The final showdown between the All-Star vote first and second is a gimmick just thinking about it." Wade smiled beside James. This year's Christmas battle may be more tragic than in previous years.

"By the way, Link asked me to send you a message. He asked me to tell you, Merry Christmas."

"Merry Christmas?" Wade frowned. After this summer, his personal relationship with Wade was good.

Yes, Link's personality, he probably won't say good things to his opponent before the war.

And just a Merry Christmas, can you make someone else tell me? If Link really wants to bless him, you can send text messages and call me.

"What does it mean?" Wade was confused.

James spread his hands and shook his head, "Who knows, anyway, Dwyne."

James clenched his fists and his expression became serious, "This season, I will not be destroyed by him again."
