After all, this is just an ordinary regular season game.

The Christmas War is just a concept created by the league to offend the common people. Losing it will not affect the overall situation of this season.

Therefore, Popovich decided to play a serious game of basketball in the next game.

If the Spurs and Suns meet in the playoffs, it won't be too late to be ruthless!

Li Ang also thinks so. Although Popovich is purely slandering Gill, if he really takes the initiative in the next game, he will definitely be caught and blackmailed by the media.

Isn't this exactly what the old thieves want?

Therefore, Li Ang decided to adopt the principle that the enemy cannot move and I cannot move in the next game.

If the Spurs are honest, then Li Ang will play serious basketball with the Spurs for the time being.

But if the Spurs are dishonest, Li Ang will have a serious UFC fight with the Spurs.

Anyway, whether it's playing ball or hitting people, Li Ang knows a little bit about it.

Should we say it or not, this may be the most tacit understanding between Li Ang and the old thief.

An agreement on the mutual non-use of nuclear weapons was signed across the air.

Finally, on the 25th, the Christmas war that fans have been waiting for is finally here!

Tonight, the American West Arena is packed with people.

Every seat and every private room was packed to the brim.

In China, today also happens to be Sunday. Needless to say, the result is that the ratings of CCTV5 immediately exploded.

The show Pig Princess on the next station didn't have that high ratings.

Rose didn't even watch the Bulls game today, but stayed by the TV early, preparing to watch his idol.

The most exaggerated thing is that Yao Ming, in order to maximize profits, allows fans to watch two games at the same time. The Bulls game and the Suns game are staggered one after another.

Therefore, after Yao Ming finished the game, he turned around and ran back to the locker room just to watch the live broadcast of the Suns-Spurs game from the beginning.

People say that this is the most successful Christmas game in the NBA!

Stern was also present in person today. Although Stern doesn't like the Spurs' boring style of play, from the bottom of his heart, Stern still hopes that the Spurs can end the Suns' winning streak today.

The Suns' 21-game winning streak, the second in history, is really exaggerated. You have to know that since the 1970s, no team has been able to win more than 20 consecutive games in the league.

This shows that the balance of the alliance has been destroyed.

The sun is too strong, which is not the result Stern wants to see.

It's time for someone to step up and interrupt this crazy winning streak.

This game did not disappoint everyone. From the whistle, the two sides went tit-for-tat, and the score was extremely tense.

The Suns are still relying on their good offense to maintain the situation.

Moreover, it can be seen that Li Ang is in particularly good condition today.

The shooting is accurate and the hit rate is very high.

After all, in this game, the Avengers badge came into play.

Li Ang's shooting attributes and physical attributes have been strengthened to a certain extent.

The Spurs, on the other hand, still relied on giving up offensive rebounds and quickly retreating in a disciplined manner to contain the Suns' seven-second offense.

The Spurs are the third team in defensive efficiency this season, second only to the Bulls and Pistons, two defensive meat grinders.

Many people remember the defensive battle between the Spurs and the Pistons in the 2005 Finals. In that series, it was common for the Spurs and the Pistons to each score more than 60 points in a game.

The Spurs' defense is definitely not weak.

The Spurs' strong defense lies in their discipline and execution.

I will never let the sun seize the opportunity because of slacking off.

Moreover, the Spurs players' condition in this game was as good as ever.

Kidd showed all his strength today. On the defensive end, he can immediately stop the speeding Nash. On the offensive end, he can always feed the ball to those who need it.

Moreover, some of the Spurs' rare counterattack opportunities became as smooth as the Suns under Kidd's management.

Although Li Ang always teases Kidd, he is actually very capable.

It is worth mentioning that such a capable player failed in the tiebreaker in the playoffs last season. Is it annoying or not?

Kidd: That's enough!

Duncan continued to make waves in the paint, showing strong dominance.

The last time the Spurs won a championship was already in the last century.

I thought it was just the beginning, but little did I know it was the peak.

Since the turn of the millennium, the Spurs have not even made it to the Finals, let alone a championship.

The key is that the Spurs were just a little bit behind every time.

If there hadn't been Kobe's explosion in 2003, and if there hadn't been Fisher's 0.4 seconds in 2004...

It's always a little bit close. This is the cruelest way to lose. It's more cruel than not being able to enter the playoffs directly, and it's more cruel than being eliminated in the first round every year.

To be honest, Duncan has become increasingly impatient.

Even though the idiot keeps silent all day long, he is actually a very competitive person.

He also longs for a championship.

Unless he is bent, no man is not good at this.

Therefore, Duncan becomes particularly irritable whenever he encounters the sun this season.

Because he knows very well that if he cannot defeat the Suns, he will certainly not be able to break out of the Western Conference.

If we can't break out of the Western Conference, how can we win a championship?

The Flying Devil doesn’t want to wait any longer!

Thanks to the outstanding performance of the Spurs, the Suns' offense was much better than the last time they met, but the score was still tight.

The two teams took the lead alternately, and the fight was inextricable.

The turning point came at the end of the fourth quarter. Amid Popovich's roar, Kidd regained control of the ball and pushed up, passing the ball to Duncan.

As soon as Duncan caught the ball, he was double-teamed by Stoudemire, O'Brien and Li Ang.

Even though Lao Dengtou has great abilities, it is difficult for him to hit stably when double-teamed.

So, he passed the ball to Devin Brown, who was released by Leon.

However, Li Ang's quick replacement caused Brown's shooting opportunity to disappear instantly.

In desperation, Brown handed the ball to Kidd to reorganize.

Li Ang's quick rotation allowed the Suns to stay in position even when Duncan was double-teamed by three people, which made the Spurs very embarrassed.

After Kidd got the ball, he didn't know how to attack for a moment, and he really couldn't attack at all.

At this time, seeing Nash taking a big step forward, Kidd decided to give it a try!

He did not continue to pass the ball, but fired directly from outside the three-point line after receiving the ball!

Nash was shocked, Kiki can't be here!

Many people may not believe it, but Kibu's three-point shooting percentage this season is actually as high as 36%. Moreover, he averages a career-high 5.4 three-pointers per game.

It can be said to maintain both quality and quantity.

Kidd's three-pointers now are actually the same as Ajan's three-pointers in the future. It's not that it's inaccurate, but it's not stable enough.

Kidd's three-pointers are limited to wide-open fixed-point shots. You can't count on him for difficult three-pointers, and he won't be able to make them if there is any interference.

But on this ball, although Nash was guarding Kidd, he seemed to have no defense at all. He put Kidd so wide, and Kidd actually got an open opportunity.

This is Nash's unique stealth skill. He also has the same skill on the offensive end.

Kidd's three-pointer passed through the net, giving the Spurs, who were already 2 points ahead, a 5-point lead!

There is not much game time left, only more than two minutes.

This time it was time to fall behind by 5 points, which made the Suns fans sweat.

Kidd roared excitedly. As a calm commander, you rarely see Kidd so excited.

"This three-pointer is really crucial. It may be the turning point of the game. The Spurs lead by 5 points. Let's see how the Suns respond!"

After Nash took possession of the ball for half the game, Kidd immediately puffed up his chest and pressed against him.

Li Ang sank into the bottom corner, Stoudemire and O'Brien put up double screens, and the Suns prepared for a V-shaped attack.

For this ball, after Nash used the screen to break through, he habitually hit the ball to the ground and passed it to Xiao Ou.

But after the basketball rebounded, it didn't fly directly into Xiao O's hands, but was intercepted by Kidd!

He guessed Nash's passing route!
