Lisko’s American Life

Chapter 1127: The History of the Christmas Battle of the NBA League

After exhausting his efforts, he finally achieved his goal. Lisko's mood suddenly became more comfortable, and he immediately rushed to his study with a high mood, while contacting the team's manager to bring his family to the scene in person. , but also prepared to temporarily supplement the relatively outstanding performance of the current league star and the main opponent on Christmas Day.

Speaking of the concept of Christmas battle, it seems that it has been widely circulated in various sports league competitions that have attracted more attention since the 1980s. Not only the operators of the league itself are also hyping the concept, even the team Members and team owners also appreciate the man-made gimmicks that bring them significant attention and benefit.

The NBA league is even more enthusiastic about this concept. It can be said that the development of the league itself is closely related to the hot spot brought by the Christmas war, and it has even received feedback from creating this heat.

To say that the sport of basketball is not very high in the sports competitions in the United States. Above it, there is not only football, but also baseball.

And the holy land of basketball, which is eagerly followed by fans of all other countries, the ranking of basketball in the United States actually only occupies the third place, and even this ranking is a bit precarious. Boxing and ice hockey are always eyeing the third place. may surpass this ranking.

As the No. 1 sports competition, baseball is a household name in terms of its scope and audience in the United States. The annual Super Bowl is the most anticipated game in the United States, and even the halftime performance of the Super Bowl is better than that of the NBA Finals. More expected. The NFL is the most popular league in the United States, and there are even many parents of American families who expect their children to grow up to be good baseball stars, not basketball players.

And baseball's popularity began in the early 20th century and has never been out of sight in the United States. If you look at it on a historical and cultural basis, baseball is America's favorite sport, and with the development and passage of time, this hobby and attention will not be changed by any social situation.

Speaking of the NBA's Christmas battle, I have to mention the most outstanding classic battles in these past history. It is precisely because of the appearance of these classic battles that the league's popularity throughout the United States has been thoroughly launched. The popularity and worldwide attention, and even the promotion of these classic battles, were able to completely bring the originally unknown small league to the third position now.

I believe that a considerable number of people like basketball, and even pay attention to it. Even if they don’t pay attention to basketball, as long as they have heard a little about basketball, there is always no way to omit the existence of a person in their impression of basketball, and the other party is also called The **** of basketball is our legendary Michael Jordan.

In 1992, 18,676 fans at the United Center in Chicago went to the scene to support their favorite teams on Christmas Day, and it was precisely because of this day that they thoroughly experienced the most exciting battle in the entire history of the NBA. .

The Bulls, the league's dominant bulls, faced off against the New York Knicks, who had a **** 7-game match in the Eastern Conference semifinals last year. During the game, the Knicks dominated the game by relying on the advantages of defense and rebounding. Ewing, Oakley and Anthony Mason completely monopolized the rebounding. The Bulls' two insiders, Horace Grant and Bill Cartwright, lost their ability to protect the rebound. Under the opponent's tough defense, the entire team The shooting percentage was low, trailing by a full 10 points in the first half.

Originally, everyone thought that this game must end with a loss to the Bulls, and some fans even began to prepare to leave the game, but in the second half, a man wearing the No. 23 jersey completely became the God who saved the game. .

Jordan was possessed by the gods in the second half, and the Starks and Blackman who were responsible for defending him were useless. The Bulls launched a Jedi counterattack under the leadership of Jordan, plus Pippen's 5 steals and 3 blocks, which completely disrupted the opponent's offensive rhythm. The Bulls only allowed the opponent to get a pitiful 28 points in the second half. 89:77 Turned defeat into victory. Jordan scored 42 points, 8 rebounds, 5 assists, and 3 steals, leading the team to have the last laugh when they were at an absolute disadvantage in rebounding 35:54.

Americans have always liked this kind of Jedi counterattack in a desperate situation, a character who seems to be a lonely hero when the whole situation is difficult. Defeating all the villains, this kind of routine has appeared countless times in the entire Hollywood movies, but as long as you change the routine and change the skin, you can still make all movie fans watch it with relish and even shout with joy.

The main candidate for the second classic battle is still our Bulls. At that time, because of Jordan's existence, this team was simply the undefended and uncrowned king in the entire league.

However, compared to last time, our opponent was replaced by the Miami Heat, our opponent in the Eastern Conference finals last year. Although the Bulls are strong, the Heat's lineup at this time is also not to be underestimated. "Besides Mourning, there is another one written by P. J. Brown and Jamal Mashburn formed the offensive and defensive line, and the smash hit point guard Tim Hardway.

The Bulls' roster is just missing a more important starting member~www.wuxiamtl.com~, which is our Jordan's best assistant Pippen. The two teams in this state are very similar in strength, and even experienced basketball commentators would not dare to comment directly on the final winner of the game.

In the first three quarters, the score between the two sides was very fierce, and there was even a match between you and me. There was even a tie situation for a time, and in this state, the Heat began to enter a comprehensive defense, trying every means to curb the attack of Jordan, the current Bulls' top player.

Because all the attention was paid to Jordan, but the defense of the rest of the Bulls was neglected. The Heat made a strategic mistake, and was directly led by another player, Kukoc, to play a 13:2 climax offensive, which in one fell swoop won the Bulls another victory in this Christmas battle.

With the foreshadowing of these two games, the entire league and other team owners seem to be eager for the concept of Christmas battle.

With the disintegration of the Bulls era, the managers of the league began to support another team, and the other team also successfully established their own dynasty era with the support of the Lakers with Sharks and Kobe Bryant. It also performed very well in the next Christmas battle, adding a hotter flame to this holiday concept.
