After playing UCLA, the Sun Devils played another away game. While they continued to remain undefeated, they ushered in the annual Christmas, which is one of the most important holidays in the United States. For American students,

This is a long vacation.

Lin Ri didn't feel anything. This was his first Christmas in the United States. It was not a traditional Chinese festival, so he didn't think it was important.

Of course, the dormitory was already empty. Chris went home for the holidays, which made the whole dormitory a bit cleaner.

Not to mention, Lin Ri was a little uncomfortable without this guy making noises in his ears. It seemed that he had unknowingly become accustomed to this guy making noises next to him.

All members of the team have also gone back. This is a day to reunite with their families. No one on the team has a bad relationship with their families.

Sandek had been worried about this for a long time.

Because the team's holiday means that training is interrupted, and if there is no training, it will be a question whether the Sun Devils' great momentum can continue after the holiday.

Of course, as long as Lin Ri and James Harden can maintain their form, there will definitely be no problem.

After the previous 17 games, James Harden averaged 27.76 points, 16.96 assists, 4.5 rebounds and 4.47 steals per game. Lin Ri averaged 23 points, 13.35 rebounds and 3.35 blocks per game. The Sun Devils averaged 74 points per game in 17 games.

Around 70% of the scores were directly accounted for by the two of them!

This ratio is a bit exaggerated even in the NCAA, but it is enough to show how much the Sun Devils rely on these two guys!

It is also for this reason that Sandek has the idea that as long as Lin Ri and James Harden can maintain their form.

Therefore, he specifically asked Lin Ri and James Harden to send daily training videos to his mailbox. He did not ask too much. He just asked James Harden and Lin Ri to ensure a basic amount of training every day and not let them go.

It will be fine if the current feeling disappears.

In fact, he didn't need to worry about Lin Ri, because he didn't change his schedule because of Christmas. He still commuted between the dormitory and the arena every day, and the amount of training didn't decrease in any way. On the contrary, because he didn't have to train with the team, he gave

I have increased my training volume quite a bit.

Lin Ri's plan is to use this holiday to increase some of his main capabilities.

If the All-Star Weekend is a dividing line for the NBA regular season, then Christmas is a dividing line for the NCAA regular season. After Christmas, the intensity of the NCAA will enter another level, especially for those whose own records have already been

Teams that are not very good but can still enter the playoffs will work hard to pursue a good ranking, and then after entering the playoffs, they will go as far as possible, in case they feel good in the playoffs.

Maybe we can actually win the championship by ranking third or fourth in the regular season.

Because the NCAA playoffs, like the subsequent "March Madness", are all determined by one game, there are too many uncertain factors.

It is for this reason, so don’t really think that the first place before Christmas is definitely the first place. In the history of the NCAA, the team that ranked first in the regular season of its league before Christmas will not overturn after Christmas.

Few more!

Otherwise Sandek wouldn't be so worried!

For Lin Ri, his extra training is also to cope with the more intense NCAA regular season and the subsequent playoffs.

During this period, Lin Ri's third uncle actually called him. He was afraid that he would be too lonely at school, so he wanted to take Lin Ri to his house to stay for two days at Christmas. It happened that Lin Ri's cousin was also on vacation.

Lin Ri thought about it and refused, and made an appointment with his third uncle. He would find time to go after this season is over. The NCAA finals will end in early April, and the draft will be in June, and then in July.

After the summer league is over and the new season starts, there will be a long period of time during which he can take some time off.

His third uncle saw his plan and didn't force it anymore.

Lin Day is destined to spend this Christmas by himself... He has also arranged some relaxing activities for himself, such as watching the "Christmas War". This year's Christmas War has already attracted a lot of fans' attention since the schedule was announced.

Well, after all, after just meeting in the Finals in June this year, the Purple and Gold Lakers are about to meet the Boston Green Army again. This is a game called "Finals 2.0", plus this

The two teams are still the favorites to win the championship this season, which makes the meeting between the two teams destined to be a thunderous collision from the beginning.

Writers from all major media outlets are ready. They are building momentum and making predictions. Judging from the current situation, this year's Christmas war is likely to hit a new high in ratings.

David Stern should be very happy. After all, the "Christmas Game" is a signature that he has been trying to promote to basketball fans around the world for so many years. He hopes that the "Christmas Game" can become as well-known as the NBA's "representative program" during the All-Star Weekend.

”.

Of course, now it seems that his prediction is feasible. After several years of ups and downs, the reputation of "Christmas War" is indeed getting bigger and bigger!

As for a battle that is destined to be a classic like the Lakers vs. Celtics, Lin Ri naturally cannot let it go.

…

The approach of "Christmas Day" also means the approach of Christmas. When Chris returned from school this year, he also brought his girlfriend Britney with him.

Taking Britney back on such a festival, Chris didn't need to say much about what he meant. What he didn't expect was that his father Williams was not most concerned about this matter: "Chris, I heard that your roommate

It’s the sun, is this true?”

"..." Chris didn't respond. He just looked at his father, waiting for what his father would say next.

Williams could sense that Chris' reaction was not positive, but he still said what he wanted to say: "The company has recently extended its business and is preparing to sign some NBA players. After all, the development momentum of the NBA has been getting better and better in the past two years.

The number of players with tens of millions of annual salary contracts is constantly rising. This league has become more and more commercialized, and we need to grab a piece of the cake!"

Williams looked at Chris again as he spoke, paused, and said bluntly: "The Sun is becoming the most talked-about rising star in the NCAA this year. Moreover, like Yao, he comes from China, and the market behind him has proven his commercial value.

Yes, if we can sign him, our company will expand its business to the NBA very quickly, which will help us quickly gain a foothold in the NBA market..."

Chris listened quietly, but finally said lightly: "What do you need me to do?"

These words were so pretentious that Williams frowned a little. He didn't expect that his son would be so inactive in this kind of matter.

"I brought Britney back this time to confirm our relationship, not to talk about other things!" Chris replied again.

Williams' last bit of patience seemed to have been exhausted, and his tone was very obviously dissatisfied: "Chris, you should know who will own this company in the future! Who am I working for again? This time you can contribute a lot."

Great power, you should have this awareness, you must know..."

"Sorry, you go ahead and eat! I've finished..." When Chris heard that his father was still insisting on talking to him and wanted to continue talking about work, he directly put down the knife and fork in his hand, stood up and left the table.

.

He really didn't like to hear his father talk about these things, and it had been like this since he was a child. It was obviously a family dinner, and it was obvious that he came back to tell him about his life-long events, but his father's reaction clearly meant that career was the key to success.

It was his father's lifelong event, and this was something Chris was unhappy about.

"Britney, I hope you can advise Chris. He should know that if he wants to have a stable home with you, he must first have a stable job, and his current stability comes from me, the

Sun is of great significance to us entering the NBA and building the Chinese brand! And after completing this matter, I will give him a large commission, and this case will also be a stepping stone for him to enter the company's senior management in the future.

I hope he understands the importance of it!"

"Okay, uncle, I will convey all this to Chris." Britney listened quietly and nodded obediently.

This attitude satisfied Williams very much.

"If you are here to persuade me on behalf of my father, then we may have to calm down for a while before talking..." Chris said this when Britney appeared behind him on the balcony.

Britney showed a disapproving expression and stood beside him with a smile: "I think you should listen to your dad."

"What?" Chris showed a surprised expression. He really didn't expect Britney to actually come to persuade him for his father, and she was so direct...

"Sooner or later you will enter this industry. This is a sure thing. The Sun is your opportunity... an opportunity to get rid of your father's name. You don't have to fight for your father to fight for The Sun, but from your father's view of The Sun

You should know how much you value the sun, how marketable a guy the sun is, this is really an opportunity, an opportunity for you to make a name for yourself! If you become the agent of the sun..."

When Britney said this, she glanced at Chris. The lights were dim at night, but Britney's eyes were as bright as a cat, full of cunning, "Think about it, if your dad knew about it, you would directly

If you sign the sun instead of being a lobbyist on his behalf, he will be much more angry, and you will be much relieved!"

The last paragraph made Chris's whole expression immediately filled with light. He hated that his dad always talked to him about things at work. He also always wanted to give his dad a stumbling block, but he never thought of anything good.

Method, but now, after Britney's words, he immediately felt that if this thing was really done, it would definitely be very interesting!
