Chapter 510: Bull's Ambition
The three of them chatted while eating, and before they knew it, they had eaten for more than two hours.
Rose rarely said so much, and even with his family, he was generally silent.
It seems that the Splash Brothers have a very high status in Rose's heart, and they have surpassed ordinary friends.
Otherwise, if Ross's words were really spread, it would cause an uproar.
Not to mention the media, James will make Ross unable to take care of himself.
After eating, Rose saw Zhou Yang and Curry yawning constantly, and then realized that they had just finished back-to-back games and urgently needed to rest.
"I'm sorry, you two haven't slept well, so you asked me to bring you over for dinner, sorry, sorry."
Rose was an honest man, and he felt that he couldn't go, so he quickly settled the bill and drove the two back to the hotel.
Zhou Yang and Curry returned to the hotel, they didn't even take a shower, they fell asleep, and slept until the next morning, almost a dozen hours.
Nelson Sr. didn't schedule a player practice, and he knew the Warriors players had been too tired lately.
It wasn't until more than three o'clock in the afternoon that the team came to the game arena and sat for a while to warm up for training, and then Zhou Yang and Curry were interviewed by the media.
Probably because the media took photos of the three of them eating, so as soon as the reporter came up, he asked about the relationship between the three people.
Zhou Yang and Curry glanced at each other and replied with a smile: "That's right, we are very good friends, and he, as the host, invited us to have a meal and did our best to be a landlord."
The reporter tentatively asked, "Then did you talk about some topics?"
Zhou Yang and Curry's brows furrowed.
It's rude to casually inquire into someone's privacy.
But they are the media, and this is the money they make, so Zhou Yang couldn't help but not get angry, and replied lightly: "I didn't talk about anything, even if I talked about important things, I wouldn't tell you, this is a private party, right?"
The reporter could only laugh wryly and hide behind.
At half past seven in the evening, the Bulls host the uncrowned champion Warriors.
The Warriors' starting lineup remains the same: Zhou Yang, Curry, Chandler, Turkoglu and Barbossa.
The Bulls' starting five are Rose, Ruhr Deng, Boozer, Noah, and Hinrich.
In the parallel world before Zhou Yang crossed, Rose had been sold by the Bulls because his injuries were too serious.
But the butterfly effect, Rose is still very healthy under Zhou Yang's advice, so the Bulls still maintain a strong competitiveness.
In the first quarter of the game, Rose played very steadily, he did not attack wildly, but through his strong breakthrough, tore apart the Warriors' defense, distributed the ball to his teammates, and boosted the morale of the whole team.
This style of play makes it difficult for the Warriors to defend.
In fact, according to Rose's rookie season, the Warriors are relatively simple to defend, Zhou Yang is chasing behind, and Chandler is blocking on the inside, which can completely limit him.
Because everyone knows that when Rose arrives in the penalty area, he will definitely throw himself out and fight for his life.
If you score a goal, it will be a five-best ball level, and it will be shocking.
If you can't get in, you will be pressed down by the other party and fall on the floor.
This style of play is very fan-attracting and enjoyable to watch, and it will make countless fans crazy.
But Rose's body will also consume too much under this style of play, and there is a risk of injury at any time.
And now Rose, his playing style is much smarter, although there are fewer violent dunks, but his vision is better, and his teammates can also twist into a rope.
The first quarter played more than 8 minutes, and the Bulls took advantage of the power of the home court to take a five-point lead.
Nelson Sr. knew that the Warriors players were tired after back-to-back games, so he made frequent substitutions.
Zhou Yang and Curry played more than 6 minutes in the first quarter and went to rest.
The Warriors' bench players were very good, played well, and didn't let the margin open too much.
Everyone knows in their hearts that as long as they survive until the second half, Zhou Yang will definitely be able to take away the game.
The second quarter began, Zhou Yang
took the initiative to ask to appear, and old Nelson saw that Zhou Yang was in good shape, so he agreed.
On the Bulls bench, there is a player who is only 1.75 meters tall, and that is the little potato - Nate Robinson.
Old fans know that there is also a superstar nicknamed Potato in NBA history, named Webb.
He is 170 tall, but he has won the slam dunk contest!
You can see how good his jumping ability is.
And this new generation of "potatoes" is not too much, and the bounce is amazing.
If Zhou Yang hadn't been born in this parallel world and won the championship of the slam dunk contest, Nate Robinson Jr. would have won two slam dunk contest championships.
In addition, Nate is not only only dunked, his breakthroughs and shots are top-notch.
However, among the Warriors' bench players, there is one person who is not convinced, and that is Thomas Jr.
Thomas Jr. is a few years younger than Nate, but he is also understated, almost 1.78 meters.
Although he is not as explosive as Nate's physicality, his power and speed, as well as his projection, are also among the best among short players.
Now that the two sides are playing against each other, the scene has become a bit hilarious and funny.
Nate and Thomas Jr. also seem to know what the audience likes to watch, so the two of them often play against each other.
Zhou Yang does not steal the limelight, he only does defensive and organizational work on the field, and the breakthrough and projection are handed over to his teammates.
Here, Nate made a breakthrough, passed Thomas Jr., and then hit the penalty area and scored a violent dunk.
Thomas Jr. over there accelerated to the right with the ball, made a pull-up jumper, and scored two points.
These two elves, who did their best in the game, seem to be trying their best to prove that they are the better "little potato"!
Zhou Yang is also secretly helping little Thomas, but it is not obvious.
For example, when Thomas Jr. broke through, Zhou Yang helped Thomas Jr. open up space in advance through his own cover, or interspersed with running.
On the defensive end, he'll be quick to help defend and not give Nate Robinson an easy chance to get to the basket.
After more than 5 minutes in the second quarter, the Warriors tied the score again.
Bulls head coach Thibodeau shook his head angrily, of course he knew that Nate wanted to prove himself too much, so the tactics of the bench lineup were too simplistic and fell into a single game.
And the Warriors seem to be playing around Thomas Jr., but the Warriors are obviously playing more reasonably, and their teammates are more tacit.
Thibodeau had no choice but to call a timeout and prepare to change to the main lineup.
Zhou Yang and his teammates walked up to Thomas Jr. to congratulate him and encourage him at the same time.
Thomas Jr. felt warm in this team, and he kept high-five his teammates, saying "Thank you!"
The Warriors also made personnel changes during the timeout, with most of the main players coming on, and Barbossa was replaced by Tony Allen.
