On December 25, the Christmas battle for the NBA 10-11 season officially arrived.

In this game, the Thunder's record also reached 26 wins and 2 losses, ranking first in the league without any suspense.

As a Christmas battle broadcast across the United States, the Thunder's opponent is naturally equally eye-catching.

Although the Miami Heat only scored 21 wins and 7 losses, this did not affect the fans' love for this team at all.

Because both LeBron James and Wade are one of the most popular stars in the league.

What's more, the Heat's style of playing also made the fans exclaim. The entire game was filled with various aerial relays and fast breaks, which made people excited.

It’s just that the Big Three basically locked down the team’s salary space, so the Heat are a bit shabby in terms of role players configuration.

Apart from the Big Three, the only team is Mike Miller who has a $5 million contract this year, followed by Joel Anthony and Haslem to 3.5 million respectively.

As for the remaining nine players, the salary is under $1.5 million, and three of them are even less than 1 million, and only a poor double-digit number can be obtained.

If we look at this point, then the Thunder is indeed much more reasonable than the Heat.

There is no way. The Thunder cultivated a large number of young talents through drafts. These players are carrying rookie contracts and basically do not occupy salary space.

The Heat are combined together by recruiting soldiers. Although the team looks like a star, the disadvantages are also obvious, that is, the rotation lineup is very weak.

In addition to the average playing time of the Big Three must be higher than 35 minutes, the Big Three dare not be injured.

Otherwise, if one of the Big Three is missing, it will definitely be a big test for the other two.

In addition, although the Heat's current record is not particularly outstanding, no team in the league dares to underestimate this Heat.

Even in ESPN's latest combat power rankings, the second-ranked Heat is not much different from the first-ranked Thunder.

Even though the Thunder's record is obviously much better, everyone knows that the Heat is a temporary team, so his running-in period will definitely be longer.

Once the season enters the middle of the season, the Heat's strength will definitely show.

…………………

"It's unbelievable that I could actually see such a luxurious showdown. It's no exaggeration to say that when these two teams met, the players who had been selected as All-Stars in the two teams had two hands!!"

"I definitely couldn't imagine this situation before, because it sounds so fucking nonsense."

"There turned out to be in front of me now, and I will also explain the game myself. It was an unforgettable experience." commentator Coney Freck said slightly excitedly.

"Indeed, if it weren't for knowing in advance that this was the Thunder's game against the Heat, the fans who suddenly walked into the court would probably think it was an All-Star game."

"The Heat have six players who have been selected into the All-Star lineup, and the Thunder are even more exaggerated, with eight!!"

"This means that there will be 14 players who have been selected into the All-Star lineup in this game."

"I have to say, this is a crazy game!!" partner Tom Hovas shouted with an exaggerated expression.

That's right, both teams have multiple veterans, and many players are no longer in their peak period.

For example, McGrady, O'Neal and Big Ben of the Thunder, the "Big Z" Ilgoskas, Uncle Huo Er, and Starkhouse.

But this cannot hide the light of this game at all.

This game is the first time the Heat and the Thunder have played this season, and in a live broadcast across the United States like Christmas, this game is destined to be recorded in history.

After all, in the history of the NBA, there has never been such an exaggerated scene except for the All-Star Game.

These are 14 former All-Star players!!

Here fans can see the past, the present, and even the future.

In short, the ratings of this game have reached an unprecedented level.

40 minutes before the start of the game, the online viewership had already exceeded 15 marks. If nothing unexpected happens, the ratings of this game are likely to break the highest record in the NBA in recent decades!!

…………………

"Relax, guys, don't forget that we are the real league number one, and the Heat can only follow us and eat ashes."

"It is undeniable that this Heat is really strong, and they have their own style of play."

"But as long as we play our advantages on the offensive end, we will be the strongest existence in the league."

"Remember, it's the only one!!" Before the game, head coach Yang Fan shouted to the players with high morale.

Yang Fan has obviously been looking forward to this game for a long time, because Yang Fan also wants to see what kind of sparks can be produced when the thunder in his hand meets this three-time Heat, which is cross-age.

"Du~Du~Du"

After the game started, the ball was first obtained by the Thunder.

The starting lineup of the Thunder in this game is Curry, "Martial Saint" Jackson, Durant, Anthony, and Yao Ming.

The Heat are "magic boys" Arroyo, Wade, James, Bosh, and 35-year-old "Big Z" Ilgoskas.

In this game, Yang Fan chose "Martial Saint" Jackson in the starting shooting guard, rather than Cameron Anthony, who has been using before.

Because Wade's breakthrough speed is very fast, his nickname is "The Flash", especially the European step during the breakthrough process, which can get rid of most defenders.

Although Anthony can deal with most shooting guards in the league, including his own old rival Kobe, facing a defender like Wade who uses speed to score, Anthony's speed is still too easy to be targeted.

That's why Yang Fan chose to take "Martial Saint" Jackson back to the starting lineup, allowing Anthony to reach the fourth position to fight Bosh. Although there will be some disadvantages in height, the tonnage that is even heavier than Bosh is enough to prevent him from falling behind.

After the game started, the Thunder were still making dynamic attacks, with Yao Ming standing at a high position and holding the ball as the core, and then other players created offensive opportunities through constant movement and pick-and-roll.

It can be said that after more than 20 games in the early stage of the season, the entire Thunder team's offense has been very smooth.

Not only can it be controlled very well in terms of mistakes, but it can also achieve the goal of the offensive end by getting a person and a ball, which basically perfectly replicates the Nuggets' playing style in later generations.

However, the thunder under Yang Fan is very different from the Nuggets in later generations.

That is, this Thunder team has many stars and can play indiscriminate individual singles when necessary.

Simply put, the current Thunder can not only play smooth teamwork, but also allow five players to participate on the offensive end.

At the critical moment of the game, the Thunder can also use their personal abilities to kill the game.
