~5 min read 956 words

"Hahaha~"

Pippen couldn't help but laugh, "Looking at Su Yan's blank expression, I find it so interesting. Are people from the Dragon Kingdom all this innocent?"

Da Yao:???

I understood it instantly, okay.

"Drink water~ drink water~"

Da Yao gave a sheepish smile and took a tactical drink of water.

"Drink water? Drink water?!"

The bewildered Su Yan also drank water, feeling lost in the clouds.

"Hehehe~"

Chandler laughed, his brain turning, and continued: "Compared to plain water, I still prefer well water, the well..."

"The wells are all the same, it just depends on the water output."

Before Chandler could finish, Pippen took over.

"Haha!"

Chandler laughed; the two exchanged a glance, raised their eyebrows, both wearing an expression of 'you understand me'.

"Well water is delicious, clean, and hygienic."

Su Yan smiled.

"Are we sure we're talking about well water?"

Da Yao was a bit unsure this time.

Su Yan:???

Not well water? Then what is it?! What are you talking about?

Do you think you're very humorous?!

If I don't understand, shouldn't I be in the cafeteria, or should I be in the restroom?!

One day later.

8:00 PM.

United Center Arena.

Back on their home court, the Bulls would start their duel with the Mavericks in half an hour; both teams were actively warming up.

"Besides this game, there's also the game against the Heat this week. As long as I play well in these 2 games and win Rookie of the Week, it shouldn't be a problem.

The main quest can be completed.

I must stay steady."

Su Yan gave himself psychological hints while warming up.

At the commentary desk.

Eli Ott said: "The Bulls have put up a good performance at the start of the season. This year, they are no longer a bottom-tier tanking team in the East.

At the very least, they will push for the playoffs.

And the Mavericks are also a traditional powerhouse, with the combination of "Son of the Wind" Nash + "German Tank" Nowitzki, who broke into the Western Conference Finals last year.

They fought a 6-game series against the defending champion Spurs.

This kind of combat power is truly impressive.

Nash + Nowitzki, one focuses on passing, the other on scoring; the chemistry between the two is excellent, and their combined combat power is astonishing.

Tonight.

Can the "Dragon Kingdom Twin Stars" win against Nash and Nowitzki and harvest a three-game winning streak for the season?!

Let us wait and see."

Soon.

The main game arrived.

The starting lineups for both sides took the court.

Chicago Bulls starters: PG: Hinrich, SG: Su Yan, SF: Pippen, PF: Antonio, C: Da Yao.

Dallas Mavericks starters: PG: Steve Nash, SG: Michael Finley, SF: Josh Howard, PF: Dirk Nowitzki, C: Antoine Walker.

"Jump! Ball!"

The jump ball between Da Yao and Nowitzki.

Although Nowitzki is a power forward, he has a height of 213 cm, which is definitely not short, and in tonight's jump ball... he beat Da Yao.

Nash received the ball and pushed forward; the Mavericks executed their first attack.

"Bang bang bang!"

After pushing it over, at the right arc, Josh Howard came up for a screen; Nash went around the screen, shook off Hinrich, and Pippen came to cover.

How to attack?

"Shoo~"

Nash made a quick bounce pass, the ball went through Antonio's crotch and was accurately delivered to Antoine Walker, who was cutting to the left.

A center cutting?

No.

Antoine Walker is only 203 cm.

He has the height of a small forward, but can attack on the perimeter like a guard and protect the rim in the paint like a center.

As a guard, he averages 4.5 assists per game, and when playing inside as a center, he also averages 8.3 rebounds per game.

He also averages 14.5 points per game.

Quite useful.

He caught the ball and cut.

Da Yao, who followed him out, was half a beat slow and couldn't keep up; Antoine Walker made the layup.

【Bulls 0:2 Mavericks】.

Transition offense.

Hinrich pushed it over, wanting to find Su Yan, but seeing Da Yao successfully establish position in the paint, he immediately lobbed the ball to him.

He hammered Antoine Walker hard.

He had a height advantage, but Antoine Walker, as a short and sturdy forward, was truly tough in terms of physical confrontation and was happy to defend.

"Bang bang bang!"

He gave Da Yao plenty of resistance; Da Yao, unable to hammer him much, turned for a near-rim hook shot, which wasn't the most comfortable attack, and it clanked off the rim.

After all, he's still a sophomore.

Da Yao's offense is clearly not particularly mature yet; he is still growing.

"Pa!"

Nowitzki protected the rebound and passed it to Nash to push the counterattack, moving like a gale in a fast break.

A small body with huge energy, and as agile as an elf; when Hinrich followed him into the paint.

"Whoosh~"

Nash, holding the ball for a layup, seemed to have eyes in the back of his head, passing to Michael Finley following behind, who caught the ball and took three steps to leap.

"Boom!"

A violent dunk was served.

It didn't end there; in the very next possession, Nash drove the offense again, finding Michael Finley in the right corner with a beautiful no-look pass.

An open three-point opportunity.

"Hah!"

Antonio roared as he rushed over.

"Whoosh~"

Finley wasn't in a hurry, transferring it to Nowitzki at the high post; this was truly wide open, and Nowitzki's two-pointer.

"Swish!"

Steadily into the hoop.

A clean swish.

And a minute later, Nowitzki, at the right high post, faced Antonio, gave him a bump, and then turned for a fadeaway jumper.
