On a cold winter day, the sky is overcast and there is no sunlight.

The campus of Oklahoma State University is very empty.

Even the entire Jingshui City, which was attached to the school, seemed to have become an empty city.

At Christmas, most students choose to go home for reunion, and major cities become very lively and full of festive atmosphere.

As a university town, Jingshui City actually became deserted.

There are not many local residents here. Without students, it is equivalent to suddenly losing a part of the population.

It was on this empty campus, on the basketball court below the No. 4 men's dormitory at Oklahoma State University, that two students playing basketball stood out.

They attract attention not only because they are almost the only two people on campus, but also because they are now the most famous basketball players in Oklahoma.

At this time, Tony Allen was staring at Wayne intently.

If he loses this round again, then according to the bet, he will be responsible for today's Christmas dinner.

That's right, on Christmas Day, Wayne and Teacher Tony's way of celebrating the holiday was to keep warm by having a passionate fight in the cold winter.

At this time, the 21-point bullfight has reached the last ball of the last game. Wayne only needs to score 1 more point to win this final game.

As long as Tony Allen defends this goal, he has hope of equalizing the score.

To put it bluntly, the game has reached a critical moment!

Wayne holds the ball outside the three-point line, and he has been intercepted by Tony Allen over 100 million times today.

Although Wayne has been practicing ball control since the beginning of the season, his ball control attribute has increased to 32.

But this value is still weak in front of Teacher Tony.

For a guy who averages more than 2 steals per game and can steal ball players from the opponent's point guard, it is very easy to steal Wayne who is too focused.

However, Wayne also had a way to deal with it. He pushed directly behind the three-point line and tried to separate Tony Allen.

Although this cannot 100% prevent Tony Allen from completing the steal, it is better than directly facing the frame and breaking through.

"Bang!"

Wayne pushed hard, but Tony Allen didn't retreat too far.

Although it is a big mismatch, don't forget that Wayne's ability to fight is not that strong yet.

At this time, Tony Allen took the opportunity to reach out in front of Wayne and prepare to dial the ball. Fortunately, Wayne reacted quickly and immediately put the ball away with both hands and raised it to his chest, thus avoiding a mistake.

In a duel with Tony Allen, Wayne felt like he had to tense his nerves all the time.

If you are distracted even a little bit, you will fall short of your success.

To be honest, this is much harder than the regular season.

Wayne was really lucky to have such a strong defensive teacher Tony beside him. He had played so many easy games in the regular season. He was really afraid that he would retreat instead of advancing.

What's the Chinese saying? Play chess with a stinky chess basket, and the more you play, the stinker it gets.

Fortunately, every time he faces off against Tony Allen, Wayne is reminded that he still has many shortcomings.

The confrontation between the two was very fierce, and it didn't look like a joke between friends at all.

After all, the outcome of this game is directly related to the wallets of two poor guys.

Wayne held the ball with both hands, which meant that he was completely nailed.

He couldn't continue dribbling, and his only option was to turn over and shoot a jumper one step behind the free throw line.

Tony Allen is full of confidence, even though he is only 1.96 meters... I'm sorry to get into the drama, but his height is actually only 1.93 meters.

Although he is only 1.93 meters, it may be difficult to interfere with Wayne. But Tony Allen also knows that this kind of mid-to-long-range turnaround jumper is not Wayne's strength.

Wayne's catch-and-shoot shooting is very good, and his pull-up against the defense is also excellent.

But Wayne doesn't often use his back-to-the-basket turnaround jumper because his hit rate is not high.

Therefore, by forcing Wayne to stop at the free throw line with the ball behind the basket, Tony Allen believed that his defense was half successful.

True. The strategy of a defensive master.

Wayne couldn't help it. He didn't know whether the attribute of turning over and jumping was included in the low-post offense or whether it was a special attribute.

But no matter which one, Wayne estimates that his turn-over jump shot attributes are not high. Because he has tried it, when he turns over and jumps, he will feel more awkward than ordinary shots or even pull-up shots.

But there is no other way. Now, turning over and shooting is Wayne's only option.

Wayne then turned over, jumped up, and threw the ball a little stiffly.

Tony Allen really didn't interfere with Wayne, but he didn't care. He could tell from his shooting movements that Wayne's shooting form just now was very average!

Teacher Tony looked back at the basketball confidently, ready to enjoy the scene of the basketball hitting the frame.

Toni thinks it's better to prevent others from hitting the target than to score a goal himself.

However, the ball that Wayne threw with his slightly stiff posture bounced into the net!

"This..." Tony Allen covered his chest.

This goal made Teacher Tony, who was not well off, even worse.

"Hahahahaha, I won't be polite tonight Tony!" Wayne was ecstatic because even he thought the ball just now would not be scored.

It seems that the purple "Big Heart Killer" badge played a role.

Don't tell me, the effect of this purple badge is really incredible.

Because Wayne discovered that as long as he played with Tony Allen to the stage where the outcome was determined by one ball, his shooting percentage would be very high.

Even in the face of tight defense, there is a high probability that a goal will be scored, and this has happened more than once or twice, so it is definitely not a coincidence.

Although this badge has not yet played a role in official competitions, at least today, this badge won Wayne a dinner.

"Damn, this goal must have been scored." Tony Allen shook his head, this Christmas was too difficult.

Even if he was caught playing ball by Wayne, he still had to take care of the food!

Speaking of which, a few months ago, Wayne and Tony Allen didn't have to fight at all.

But now, Wayne's winning percentage is half or half that of Tony Allen.

"Don't worry, I can't eat too much now. Just buy a pizza. I'll make an exception and have some tonight." Before Teacher Tony could recover, Wayne had already started ordering.

.

"Okay, I'm willing to admit defeat, Wayne. Let's go buy it now, so that we can eat while watching the Christmas War at night!"

"Yeah, that's it, let's go!"

Wayne would never have imagined that the first Christmas he spent in the United States would be with Tony Allen.

Don't tell me, two people who can't go home can quite resonate with each other by trying to warm each other up.

But according to the plot of a third-rate novel, shouldn’t Christmas be an exclusive holiday for the male protagonist and the female protagonist?

Where is the promised heroine?

Wayne shook his head.

Forget it, it's good to be with Tony.

There are growth points to get and free pizza, this Christmas Eve is already perfect.

After buying the pizza, the two ran wildly on the empty street. When they returned to the dormitory, they immediately stood in front of the TV.

Since Tony Allen has a second-hand TV in his dormitory, the two of them usually watch games here.

Although the picture quality of this TV is impressive, for Wayne, who is used to 1080P or even 4K resolution, it is simply a full-screen mosaic.

But at least the picture is movable, so you can still see it.

"Huh... luckily I caught up. Turn on the TV, you can't miss today's Christmas game!" Tony Allen was extremely excited. Today's Christmas game between the Lakers and Mosaic is what he has been looking forward to for a long time.

the match of.

Although Wayne was unfazed, he was also very interested in the game.

Christmas war + Yao Shark showdown, nothing could be more gimmick than this.

This game is probably the first time most Chinese fans are aware of the concept of "Christmas War".

Because this was Yao Ming's first and only Christmas Day performance in his NBA career, it was quite popular in China at the time.

After Wayne turned on the TV, the ball just started jumping. So the two of them took a piece of pizza and watched the game intently.

As soon as the game started, Chairman Yao received a pass from "Big Brother Francis" Steve Francis, made a flexible and beautiful shoulder swing shot in the low post, and shot Shaq hard, giving the team the lead.

Soon, he interfered with No. 8 Kobe's shots twice in a row under the basket, causing Kobe to hit two irons in one round.

After passing, he took advantage of his height advantage to shoot a pull-up jumper from close range, directly against Shaq's raised arm and scored.

Looking at this touching game, Wayne's hands holding the pizza were shaking.

How long has it been since he saw Yao Ming play like this? How long has it been since he was so excited because of Yao Ming?

All the feelings I had while watching the NBA came back to me in an instant.
