Chapter 205: The Strongest Team vs. The Strongest Player.
On Christmas night, the FedEx Forum was packed to capacity.
Notably, this was the first time in franchise history that the Grizzlies were featured in a Christmas Day game.
Coincidentally, this year marked the debut of special Christmas Day jerseys co-designed by Adidas and the league. The Grizzlies' jerseys prominently displayed their team logo—a bold, fierce bear head—oozing wild energy.
During warm-ups, the arena cameras panned across the crowd before settling on the front-row seats.
When Scarlett's face appeared on the LED screen, the crowd erupted in cheers.
Scarlett waved gracefully at the camera, her charm and poise on full display. As Marvel's reigning queen, her popularity was unquestionable.
Of course, the cheers weren't just for Scarlett herself—they were fueled by the explosive headlines from earlier that month.
Why had LeBron mocked Durant with the now-infamous line, "Do you want to drink Han Sen's bathwater?" Because Scarlett and Han had been in the bath together, of course!
And during the Grizzlies-Thunder playoff series, Han had taunted Durant with trash talk, saying Scarlett was too tired to attend the game. Now, Scarlett was here in person!
The camera quickly cut to Durant, who was looking up at the screen. When he lowered his head, his face had turned a distinct shade of green.
Han's [Hater System] lit up with a whopping +1.5 hater points, the notifications seemingly endless.
