The verbal battle between Embiid and the Grizzlies has been going on for a while.

This also made this Christmas battle, which was originally of great attention, attracting much attention.

As we all know, Embiid is a big mouth and loves to cause trouble.

Link has always been a person who is not afraid of trouble. He doesn't like to mess with others, but he will not easily let go of opponents who take the initiative to cause trouble.

Fans all believe that these two "dangerous elements" are so strong now that they may really start the Christmas battle.

The incident of Embiid and Towns forcing each other to lock up men has just passed.

Fans are definitely not looking forward to this game because of this. After all, in a fighting game, it is inevitable to occasionally take some basketball moves.

No, it's against

The fans just wanted to watch a wonderful basketball game, and they never expected Link and Embiid to face each other on the court.

This game is full of gimmicks. Canadian fighting superstar "GSP" George St. Pierre said that he would be on the scene that day, after all, this "game" requires a professional referee.

Connor McGregor, one of UFC's most successful superstars, also posted tickets for the Christmas battle and said: "I'm very much looking forward to this cross-border battle."

Link was speechless when he looked at the various reports on the news. Why did the direction of this game become more and more strange? Why are the fighting superstars coming?

I'm a serious basketball player!

Who do you think of me?

Am I the kind of person who loves fighting? It's just that I was fined tens of thousands of dollars for fighting.

Well, compared to Artest who hit the audience from No. 1 position and Cy Shiping who beat Harden to the point of defense with one elbow, Link felt that he was quite obedient.

No, these two seem to be one person, who deserves to be the "King of Fighters" of the 21st century alliance.

Link put down his phone, and at this time, Rachel had already packed his luggage for Link.

Since this Christmas vs. Grizzlies went to Philadelphia to play away games, it is very unfortunate that Link could not be at home with his wife and children.

Memphis and Philadelphia are quite far apart, and it takes about three hours to fly directly.

Therefore, it is definitely too late to fly on the day of the competition.

Jogel decided to lead the team to Philadelphia in the afternoon, have a good rest, and then play with the 76ers the next day with full energy.

"Link, Pennsylvania is colder than Tennessee now. I brought you a few thick clothes. Remember to change it when you arrive. By the way, don't have any conflicts with that guy. Your daughter can watch you. Be a good role model, okay?"

Rachel pushed the suitcase in front of Link, then looked at her little daughter who was playing not far away.

"Don't worry, you don't really think I'll have a cross-border boxing match with Embiid, right? You'll only spend this Christmas yourself. But it doesn't matter. After this year, we can be together every Christmas."

Link smiled, and said that this is the last Christmas battle in his NBA career

Link no longer remembers when the first Christmas battle began. He only knows that he has never enjoyed the holidays over the years.

Christmas battle, this is a special performance of the strong team and a stage for the stars, but Link doesn't miss it at all.

When he remembered that this was the last Christmas battle in his career, Link felt relieved.

"Dad, come on tomorrow. Here is my holiday gift!" At this time, Lin Ling also rushed over and held a small gift box in his hand.

Link was very surprised. He really didn't expect his little daughter to give him a gift.

Link was about to open the gift box, but his daughter stopped him.

"Tomorrow is Christmas, so Dad can only take apart before the game starts tomorrow."

"Okay, Dad will see you tomorrow." Link squatted down and touched his daughter's head, then took the suitcase and gifts and prepared to go out.

Outside the window, there are Christmas trees in front of the doors of every household, and the decorations are hung, making the festive atmosphere very strong.

But Link must stay away from his family on such days.

Although he has been in the United States for almost 10 years, Link actually has no interest in the holidays, so he doesn't care about the Christmas battle before.

But after having family, he always hopes to spend time with them on this special day, but he has no chance every year.

Fortunately, this is the last time.

"Then, I'm out." Link stood up. Since it was the last time, let's do a big fight!

※※※

On Christmas night, December 25, the Vachovia Center Arena in Philadelphia was very lively.

During the darkest period of the Sixers, Vacovia Center Arena was almost one of the most deserted teams in the league.

In any Philadelphia 76ers game, there will definitely be blockbuster gaps in the stands.

Even if a superstar arrives, it cannot save the low attendance rate of the arena.

After all, who likes to watch basketball games without suspense?

In the 15-16 season, the 76ers won only 10 of 82 games in the year. Think about it from the perspective of others and you will know how desperate Philadelphia fans are.

What family is it to spend this money to watch the team lose?

But now it’s different. Although tickets for this year’s Christmas game are expensive, they are still hard to get.

Philadelphia fans flocked to the stadium to see the style of the game.

In the front row, there are even a bunch of celebrities from all walks of life.

In addition to the two previous fighting superstars, the legendary 76ers guard Aaron Iverson will also visit the game in person today.

The 76ers and the Grizzlies, Embiid and Link made the box office of this game very impressive.

In an interview with reporters, Ai, who was unruly, also said bluntly: "No one will miss this heavyweight duel. It is very likely that this is the preview of this year's finals. I don't want to make any predictions, I just want to enjoy it."

Iverson rarely leaves the country in NBA occasions now, unless the game is destined to be very exciting.

Everyone was waiting for the fierce battle to start, and the atmosphere of the war enveloped the entire city.

But in the visiting team locker room at the Vachovia Center, the Grizzlies players were happier than the outside world thought.

"Merry Christmas guys!" Howard, wearing Christmas clothes and fake beard, rushed into the locker room with a scream, shocking everyone.

He was carrying a big bag on his back, which contained Christmas gifts for his teammates.

Howard's performance in the Grizzlies this season is obvious to everyone. Although he naturally cannot play in his peak state, he has indeed worked diligently and played his own blue-collar role well.

Therefore, the Grizzlies also converted Howard's contract to a guarantee system some time ago.

Howard doesn't have to worry about not getting a penny after being cut.

With money, Howard naturally has to thank his teammates who trust him.

So, Howard dressed up as Santa Claus and distributed gifts to everyone.

Howard is now a pistachio among the Grizzlies.

Amid the laughter and joy, the teammates exchanged gifts with each other.

Link has prepared his last season of commemorative sneakers for everyone this year. Although these shoes are all sponsored by Nike, Link didn't spend a penny.

However, considering the value of these sneakers themselves, Link is full of sincerity.

Finally, Link sat in front of the cabinet and took out a small gift box.

Although everyone gave a variety of gifts this year, including mobile phones, computers, and even cash.

But what Link is most looking forward to is the gift in his hand at this time, the gift his daughter gave him yesterday.

He carefully opened it and found that there was a small wrist guard in the gift box, plus a card.

A sentence is written crookedly on the card.

"Be careful, if you wear this wrist guard, you won't get hurt like the fat uncle~"

Well, Fat Uncle, this is what Lin Ling calls Jokic.

Although it was just an ordinary wrist guard, Link's heart was very warm.

After working hard among this group of men for ten years, now that I occasionally feel this delicate warmth, Link really feels that his heart is about to melt.

Link put on his arm guard silently and instantly felt his whole body full of energy.

He stood up, jumped around for a few times, and then clapped his hands.

Suddenly, everyone stopped removing gifts and looked at Link neatly.

"This is my last Christmas battle, guys. I won't say anything to enjoy it. If you can't win the game, what can I enjoy? If you want to fight, we have to win. If you want to win, we have to win! Come on, don't leave me regrets. By the way, let Embiid know that he shouldn't mess with us!"

"roar!"

The entire locker room let out a loud roar.
Chapter completed!
