Rachel and Link walked in the bustling mall, holding hands.

Because of "full armed", Link and Rachel were not recognized by many people.

Even if several people occasionally recognize the most famous couple in Memphis, they are very politely not coming forward to bother.

Link's position in the eyes of the citizens of Memphis is extremely noble. After all, he brought honors to this originally dilapidated city that they once dared not imagine.

Therefore, the citizens here respect Link very much. Sometimes, not disturbing is the greatest respect.

Since Christmas is approaching, the mall is very lively. It was because of Christmas that Link and Rachel decided to go out and buy some things.

"It's really rare. You're about to face the critical battle that starts with 25 consecutive victories. You still have time to go shopping with me." Rachel was very happy because she hadn't been out with Link for a long time.

Don’t mention going out shopping together, due to work reasons, the two even spend much less time together than normal couples.

"The game is important, but you are also important." Link smiled. He didn't think that going shopping could affect the game against the Rockets.

Besides, after getting married, Link even lost her honeymoon with Rachel because of work, and Link has always felt a little guilty.

So whenever he has time, he will accompany his wife and make up for it as much as possible.

The two of them had been shopping in the mall for a long time and had bought a lot of things. They ordered two Christmas trees to be transported home.

But looking at the dazzling array of goods in hand, Link was still very distressed.

Until now, he hasn't decided to give his teammates what Christmas gifts to him.

Over the past few years, Link has been a habit of giving Christmas gifts to his teammates. As a team leader, this is one of his ways to enhance the atmosphere in the locker room.

Over the years, Link has given a lot of gifts.

Expensive watches, their own signature shoes, mobile phones, game consoles, headphones... Link has given away everything.

This year, we can't give each person a box of drinks we endorsed...

"By the way, Link, are you going to have dinner at home this Christmas Eve?" Just as Link was at a loss, Rachel's question took Link's attention away from the gift.

"Of course, I can't accompany you on Christmas Eve, it's okay the day before Christmas Eve." Link scratched his head embarrassedly. Due to the Christmas War, Link and Rachel could not spend the first Christmas Eve together after their marriage.

This year, the match between the Grizzlies in the Christmas battle, Nai Lao's rival Cleveland Cavaliers. Link and James will not be outdated in any season.

Speaking of which, Link and James spend Christmas more times than anyone else...

No wonder fans joked that Link and James were "loved and killed each other". After all, except for the closest people, who would spend Christmas together every year together?

Every Christmas, Link and James are accompanying each other.

"That's good, I have a surprise for you!" Rachel said, smiling mysteriously.

"Oh? What surprise?"

"Can you tell you about the surprise in advance? Stupid. Okay, let's go back and we can't get it anymore. We have bought enough things."

It would be fine if Rachel didn't say it, but after saying that, Link was even more looking forward to this year's Christmas.

It seems that this year, LeBron James is more than just his Christmas Eve.

Finally, Link didn't have to worry about a strong man who was big and thick every Christmas.

After James Harden arrived in Memphis, he found that the city was already wrapped in a strong Christmas atmosphere.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Harden curled his lips unwillingly.

Speaking of Christmas, this year's Christmas battle, the Rockets have been removed from the league.

The Houston Rockets are not named in the five Christmas games arranged by the league this year.

Although this means Harden can spend the holiday with his family, it also means that the Rockets have been looked down upon by the league.

After all, only teams that predict that the league has "double high popularity" and record next season will be arranged to enter the Christmas game. It is obvious that the Houston Rockets are not on this list.

Harden was a little indignant about this.

No one wants to be looked down upon, so does Harden.

Maybe he didn't care much about victory in the past, but now it's different.

James Harden now has a desire to win more than any previous period. He knows that if he wants to become great and not be looked down upon, he needs a championship trophy to support him!

This season, the Rockets' performance surprised everyone. Harden believes that this is also a revenge for people's contempt.

The Rockets bus shuttled through the streets of Memphis. In addition to Christmas posters and advertisements, Harden also saw many promotional posters related to the "25-game winning streak".

It seemed as if the Memphis had just celebrated the Grizzlies' breaking their winning streak in the opening game.

This feeling of being ignored and being looked down upon made Harden clench his fists.

"James, are you nervous?" At this time, Mike D'Anthony sat next to Harden. He knew that the game against the Grizzlies was of great significance to Harden.

If Harden was just an All-Star under McHale before, then Harden has undoubtedly become the best superstar in the league this season.

But even so, there are still many criticisms about Harden. What Harden has to do is to continue to prove himself.

Before, the Rockets and Harden had defeated the Warriors and proved themselves. Now, they only have the Memphis Grizzlies as the obstacle!

If the Rockets can double-kill the Warriors and the Grizzlies, everyone will shut up.

"Nervous? No, I can't wait. I really want to see what the Memphis people look like when they crush their records with their own hands." Harden looked at the Memphis citizens with a smile outside the window, and suddenly a strong desire to destroy them surging.

Destroy all this with your own hands, well, it should be quite fulfilling!

"Haha, then I'm relieved, James. Listen, I think you are not worse than Link now. I believe that at this time tomorrow, you will defeat him on the court. If we can defeat the Grizzlies and Link, no one in the league will underestimate us again. Prove it to them, James. Tell them that you are the best now!"

After hearing D'Anthony's words, Harden nodded silently.

Although the surface is very calm, D'Antoni knew that Harden's heart had begun to heat up.

Why doesn't D'Antoni himself want to prove himself? Since the Suns, his career has begun to decline and has fallen very badly.

The Lakers are leading the Lakers F4, and they are a mess.

Although the Knicks created the legendary story of "Lin Crazy", his feud with Anthony still made him leave New York in a mess.

Before taking over the Rockets this summer, D'Antoni once reached the point where he could only be an assistant coach at the 76ers.

From top coaches in the league to assistant coaches, not everyone can withstand such a big gap.

People have begun to question D'Antoni's previous achievements, and people say he is a coach who only plays beautiful offenses but doesn't know how to win.

The Rockets were looked down upon this year. In addition to the departure of "Warcraft", there is also a large part of the reason because the Rockets' head coach is D'Antoni!

In most people's inherent impression, the team led by D'Antoni is basically incredible! The lessons of the Lakers and the Knicks have only been a few years since then.

This mustache, which was once admired by the media and fans as a top coach, is now being beaten up as a third-rate coach!

Is D'Antoni willing? Of course not!

At this time, he encountered a better opportunity in the Rockets. He was confident that he would build this Rocket even stronger than the Suns at the time.

As long as he can win the championship and defeat strong teams like the Warriors and the Grizzlies, no one will question his ability again!

D'Antoni was still very confident. He knew that the reason why the Warriors lost to the Grizzlies a few days ago was not only because of Link's strong personal ability, but also because the Warriors' inside line could not resist the impact of the Grizzlies' double towers at all.

But the Rockets are different. Capela, who has made a lot of money and experienced Nene, Ryan Anderson and others are not as vulnerable as the Warriors' inside line.

Especially Capela, the 25th rookie in 2014, is already one of the best centers in the league!

As long as the impact of the Twin Towers is curbed, the rest depends on who can dominate the game by Harden or Link!

And for Harden now, D'Antoni is relieved.

D'Antoni and Harden, the master and apprentice, were full of resentment and resentment at this time.

These resentments may not have originated from the grizzly bear, but at this moment they are all focused on the grizzly bear.

The big tree attracts wind, and the Grizzlies, who have won 24 consecutive victories, have become the Rockets' most ideal stepping stone.

Harden and D'Antoni were both aiming at Link's head in their hearts. In tomorrow's game, they would pull the trigger on Link without hesitation!
