Originally, it was Charlize Theron who was silent, but after Charlize Theron said this, Xu Yonggan was silenced.

Counting it up, he and Charlize Theron had their in-depth communication in mid-September, and it is only late October now.

So there was no doubt that the child was his.

Of course, this is the only possibility. Otherwise, if Charlize Theron was pregnant with someone else's child and called him, it would be a magical operation.

He was totally unprepared.

Because that day Charlize Theron said that she was not planning to get married or have children, and she even adopted the child, so it is impossible to say that she deliberately wanted this child and deceived Xu Yong.

So the only explanation is that Theron did it that day, but it didn't work.

This is possible, because this kind of post-event treatment is usually secretly post-event medicine, but that kind of medicine is not 100% successful.

So at this moment he didn't know whether he should be grateful for his high shooting percentage or regret that he shot too many times that night.

Or maybe the lack of safety measures, not getting married, and adoption, all kinds of buffs piled up, ultimately led to this result.

"I'll take care of it."

After a while, Theron's voice was heard from the other side.

Theron has previously said that she doesn't plan to have children, so this is not a surprising result.

"Do you need me to come with you?"

"No, let's leave it like this for now."

"Well, take care of yourself."

That didn't answer, and Theron just hung up.

After putting down his phone, Xu Yong gradually came back to his senses from being caught off guard.

Although Charlize Theron said that she didn't want a child, she obviously had some thoughts about it. Otherwise, she could have just gotten rid of the child secretly and there was no need to make this phone call.

But she must have some concerns that prevented her from having children.

But if he does, the key is his relationship with Theron.

Getting married is somewhat unrealistic. Compared to having children, Charlize Theron is more determined not to get married. Otherwise, with her conditions, she would have been married at the age of 39.

Moreover, their actual age gap is a bit too big. A 26-year-old marries a 39-year-old. They can't just get married just because their peak years overlap.

Marriage is more than just that. If it is not handled properly and ends in divorce, that would be bad.

After thinking for a while, he called Theron.

The call was picked up quickly.

"Let's meet first, where are you?"

"Los Angeles."

…

The next day was a day off, so Xu Yong flew to Los Angeles, and the two met at Charlize Theron's personal estate.

"My current idea is to give birth to the child first, but this is just my idea and I respect your personal wishes." Xu Yongxian expressed his attitude.

He hardly slept last night and was thinking about it all the way here.

Although the child was an accident, he is his blood after all.

Sharon looked at Xu Yong and said nothing.

The fact that she did not refuse directly showed that Xu Yong's previous judgment was correct.

"Do you mind telling me why you don't plan to have children?" Xu Yong asked.

When Theron heard this, she withdrew her gaze, lowered her head, picked up the coffee on the table and took a sip.

Xu Yong could see that she didn't want to say it.

Now he was in a dilemma, because after all, the child was in Theron's belly, and Theron was the one who had the final say.

"I grew up living on a farm with my parents, my mother was French and my father was German."

But after putting down her coffee, Theron spoke.

"My father used to be a good man, but I can't remember when he started drinking. Every time he drank, he would beat my mother. My mother once thought about divorcing him, but when my father was not drinking, he was still the person my mother loved, so my mother always tolerated him. Later, my father became worse and even beat me."

Xu Yong's eyes widened when he heard this. He didn't expect that Charlize Theron had such a childhood experience.

Although he has not had similar experiences, he has seen alcoholics go crazy, and if domestic violence occurs due to alcoholism, it is even more terrifying.

As Theron continued to talk, she didn't seem to mind telling this story too much.

"Until I was 15, my father became an alcoholic again. To protect me, my mother took me into the room and closed the door. My father knocked hard on the door. When he found that we did not open the door, he found a gun."

When Xu Yong heard this, his eyes widened. This was no longer just domestic violence.

"My father fired three shots into the house. One bullet flew over our heads. My mother finally found another gun in the house and killed my father through the door."

After hearing the end, Xu Yong looked at Charlize Theron with eyes full of heartache and admiration. How strong a 15-year-old child must have to accept all that and grow up to be the world superstar she is today.

After hearing this story, he also understood why Charlize Theron chose not to get married and even didn't want children.

In Theron's outlook on life, a stable environment is the most important thing for a child's growth.

But this is somewhat fragmented, because Theron is adopting a child, but the adopted child has no father, so it doesn't even count as having a family.

Perhaps what Theron is really worried about is that her partner will be like her father.

Although this idea is a bit extreme, according to her, her father was originally a good person.

In other words, what Theron fears is not children, but marriage.

"This is my first pregnancy," Theron continued.

This statement didn't surprise Xu Yong that much, because if it wasn't the first time, Charlize Theron probably wouldn't have called him.

He looked at Theron and said, "If you also want this child, we can not get married and raise it together. Of course, if you still feel that this is not possible, I still say what I said before, I respect your personal choice."

Raising a child together without getting married is legally called an illegitimate child, or an illegitimate child in the general sense. This is very common abroad.

With their ability, raising a child is not a financial problem.

It's just that Xu Yong is a Chinese, and his ideas are different from these. What he said at this time was already a kind of concession.

But this is the only possible way to keep the child given their current relationship.

Theron looked at Xu Yong for a long time, and finally said, "I need some time to think about it."

Xu Yong did not force it. This was not a decision that could be made easily. Moreover, Charlize Theron having a baby was not just a matter of her personal wish. For a female star, childbirth has a huge impact on her career, and Charlize Theron is a very career-oriented person.

"If you have any questions, feel free to contact me." Before leaving, Xu Yong also reminded Charlize Theron.

…

"Xu Zai leads the Bulls to start a new dynasty"

"Xu's era is coming, no one can stop him"

No One Has Ever Been So Close to Michael Jordan

After the opening game, TNT, FOX, and even ESPN used extremely exaggerated slogans to describe the game between the Bulls and the Heat.

Deng's post-match interview video also became a hot topic.

That was when Deng was asked by a reporter: "Do you think you can defend Xu one-on-one?"

Deng's reaction was to turn to look at Wade next to him: "Is she serious?"

Then he looked at the reporter and asked three questions in a row: "What are you asking?", "Do you play basketball?", "Do you know what question you are asking?"

Finally he said, "I mean, he is Xu Yong."

At this time, Wade on the side said: "I tried, but failed."

Although in the eyes of some fans, it is not important to judge by one game, but the reactions of the players and the media are the most real, because the dominance of that kind of game can be fully felt in just a few rounds, let alone one game.

Moreover, ESPN's uncharacteristic behavior is also closely related to the outcome of another game.

The Cavaliers lost to the Pacers 90-95 in their opening game.

James made 5 of 15 shots, 17 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and 8 turnovers; Irving made 8 of 15 shots, 22 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists and 4 turnovers; Love made 6 of 14 shots, 19 points, 10 rebounds and 4 assists; Davis made 4 of 10 shots, 10 points, 7 rebounds and 3 blocks.

The Cavaliers handled the ball possession issue that Xu Yong had thought about and Griffin had worried about quite well.

But the crux of the matter is that the Cavaliers' offense was not up to par at all, and it was outrageous for a team with four giants to score 90 points.

And it's not just an offensive problem, they also lack continuity on the defensive end. Anthony scored 15 points in the third quarter and 34 points in the whole game, and he blew up James in the matchup.

Although Paul only scored 14 points, he made 15 assists and taught Irving a good lesson.

In this case, ESPN's approach is understandable. After all, increasing Xu Yong's popularity is ignoring the attention on the Cavaliers.

A week later, the Bulls won four straight games.

After four games, Xu Yong averaged 26 points per game, which was not high, but his shooting percentage was a terrifying 62%, and his three-point shooting percentage was 42%.

Although this is only a sample of one week, it can be seen that his current state is indeed as O'Neal said, and he has entered his personal peak.

Of course, in addition to the form, there is another very important reason, which is that the form of the entire Bulls team is at a very high level, which makes Xu Yong play much fewer offensive balls in the game than before.

Or to put it another way, most of Xu Yong's shots in the game were "real.easy.ball" for him.

Moreover, Thibodeau's distribution of the ball to Rose and Butler is really wonderful. The Bulls have not had any internal conflicts since the start of the season. The whole team is like a precision machine, each doing its job and pushing the team forward at high speed.

Then, the hurt of comparison came.

Although ESPN has been downplaying the Cavaliers' performance at the beginning of the season, a week later, the Cavaliers' record of 1 win and 3 losses is too eye-catching.

On social media, Blatt has been greeted countless times by James fans, with titles such as [the worst head coach in NBA history], [European liar], and [not as good as O'Neal's grandmother] coming one after another.

To be honest, although Xu Yong anticipated that the Cavaliers would have some problems with ball possession, he did not expect the Cavaliers to have such a good start.

For this purpose, he even studied the Cavaliers' game videos.

Then after watching the opening game against the Pacers, he quickly discovered the problem: James played too deliberately.

What this means deliberately is that James plays without the ball most of the time, even squatting in the corner. Even when he has the ball, he rarely attacks the basket, but mostly passes the ball to his teammates, many of which are hard passes.

This directly exposed his weaknesses of having no ball control and lack of flexibility in passing.

Obviously, the outside world's doubts about the Cavaliers, including Bosh's previous tweet against Love, made James extremely sensitive about the issue of ball possession.

Then, in order to avoid being questioned, he adjusted his playing style, but it was obviously a bit too much.

This also made the other three players of the Cavaliers, especially Irving and Davis, very uncomfortable.

You know, James’ speech when he returned home was very touching, but how did the agreement of “lead us” turn into “we lead you”?

Xu Yong even remembered that James contributed two of Shaq's five embarrassing moments in the opening game, which showed that he was going to replace McGee as O'Neal's "my boy".

However, after watching the four game videos, his opinion changed again, and he felt that James is worthy of being the GOAT in the smart world.

Because James gradually increased his shots in the next three games, especially in the win over the Raptors, where he took 30 shots and scored 36 points.

The other three Cavaliers players did not show much reaction.

I have to say it’s high.

This is actually equivalent to the difference between boiling a frog in boiling water and boiling a frog in warm water.

If James took on too much responsibility from the beginning, then Bosh's previous remarks would be a time bomb. Even if Love has a mild temper, he would definitely feel uncomfortable. Davis and Irving would also have some thoughts. After all, they had no problem with shooting rights before.

But now, James gave up the ball from the beginning and was very humble, which made the other three people embarrassed to grab the ball.

Therefore, it is foreseeable that Love and Davis will slowly accept the fact that their ball possession will decrease, because they find that this is the only way they can win. If the Cavaliers can successfully run-in, their strength should not be underestimated.

…

Time flies and it's another week later.

The Bulls' winning streak continues. They have already started with 8 consecutive wins, which is the best record in the league.

In these 8 games, the Bulls beat their opponents by an average of 15.8 points per game, and most of the games were decided in three quarters.

If the victory over the Heat in the opening game and even the winning streak in the first week might have been seen by some fans as a matter of luck or form, then after two weeks of games, that voice has basically disappeared.

"No one wants to face us next season."

Xu Yong's words have become a classic pretentious quote among fans, on par with Bird's.

And the key is that Xu Yong has been maintaining a highly efficient performance. He gives people the feeling that "my teammates are too strong and I don't need to use my full strength."

Against this backdrop, [Who can stop the Bulls] has become a hot topic.

In the latest episode of TNT, Barkley and O'Neal had a heated discussion on this topic.

Barkley's answer perfectly reflects his No. 1 calling card: "The Bulls."

Yes, he feels that given the strength the Bulls have shown this season, only the Bulls themselves can stop him.

O'Neal on the side said that you stole my lines, but still gave some possible answers objectively.

First of all, in his list, the Warriors ranked first.

So far, the Warriors have a record of 7 wins and 1 loss (lost one game to the Mavericks), surpassing the Thunder and Mavericks to top the Western Conference standings.

Kerr's appointment as the Warriors was met with great skepticism from the outside world, and many people believed that he was taking advantage of the situation. However, the changes he made to the Warriors after he took over were very bold, and the key is that they worked.

Last season, the Warriors' starting lineup was Curry, Thompson, Iguodala, David Lee, and Bogut, but in the new season, the Warriors' starting lineup is Curry, Thompson, Harrison Barnes, Draymond Green, and Bogut.

This change is both active and passive. For example, Kerr took the initiative to put Iguodala on the bench and let Barnes, who has a more stable three-point shooting, become the team's starting small forward. The core inside player David Lee was injured in the playoffs last season and was unable to play at the beginning of the season. Kerr let Green start directly.

This adjustment has greatly improved the Warriors' offensive space on the court (Barnes' three-point shooting percentage is over 40%, Green has taken more than 4 three-pointers with a 35% shooting percentage), and has also greatly improved the quality of the Warriors' interior defense, with the frequency of defensive counterattacks and offensive rhythm constantly improving.

Although Barkley was very disdainful of this first place, his evaluation was: "Jump shot teams will never succeed."

Then ranked third on O'Neal's list is the Thunder.

Although the Thunder's record this season is temporarily suppressed by the Warriors, that is largely because Ibaka has not yet returned.

Durant and Harden are both in hot form in the new season, especially Durant. He is also consciously reducing his ball possession and increasing his offensive efficiency.

And the team's rookie Capela surprised them and his defense was impressive.

"If Serge (Ibaka) returns, the Thunder will be No. 1 on my list."

Then in between them, the second place is the Cavaliers.

This is also the team that has caused the most heated debate between the two.

As Xu Yong judged, the Cavaliers and the team have achieved good results in running-in. In the past week, the team had a record of 3 wins and 1 loss, and the record has improved to 4 wins and 4 losses.

O'Neal believes that the Cavaliers' lineup on paper is there, and as long as they are fully integrated, they will be the team in the East most likely to compete with the Bulls.

Barkley disagreed with this. He felt that O'Neal's assumption was not valid because there was only one ball in a basketball game. If four players averaging 20+ points per game stayed on the same team, someone's stats would always drop significantly, and conflicts would naturally arise over time.

Moreover, he, who was silenced by O'Neal's five championships every day, also made a big move: "Isn't it the same as the F4 Lakers back then? They didn't succeed in the end."

This made O'Neal break down his defense, and the quarrel between the two was a show of maximum effect.

Their quarrel also heightened the heat for the Thanksgiving Day battle between the Bulls and the Cavaliers a few days later.

Xu Yong has been training more than usual these days.

No matter how Barkley and O'Neal argue, the Cavaliers' strength cannot be underestimated, and this game that has been hyped up must be won.

In other words, even if we lose to other teams unexpectedly, it is better than losing this game.

This day was the day before the competition. After finishing training, Xu Yong went back to rest and also checked social media.

It was also very lively at this time. Many of the James fans who had disappeared at the beginning of the season due to the Cavaliers' poor record came back to life at this time.

"The Bulls have strength except for the opening game against the Heat. Aren't they just enjoying the benefits of the Eastern Conference? This is all an illusion created by the schedule!"

"The Heat are not doing well this year either. Their record is worse than the Pacers'!"

"So, the media started to hype the Bulls just because they had a few wins at the beginning of the season with little change in their roster. That's bullshit!"

"That's right, the Eastern Conference still depends on the Cavaliers. At the beginning of the season, they didn't have a good run-in. Now that they have run-in, who can compete?"

"Just wait and see. This Thanksgiving Day match will be the Cavaliers' battle to establish their prestige. From now on, the championship will belong only to Cleveland!"

…

And at this moment, he also saw a piece of news related to the Cavaliers.

James posted a personal status on social media. He selected a picture of throwing magnesium chalk when he played for the Cavaliers and wrote: I can't wait to resume that ritual!

A group of James fans were partying below.

"We're back, we're all back! The King of Cleveland!"

"Pay your respects, the King will finally be crowned in Cleveland."

"It's time to get excited!"

…

Xu Yong was amused. He suddenly found that watching these people chatting was quite interesting.

Since I know these people are brainless, I don't have to use my brain at all.

Xu Yong put away his phone with a smile and prepared to take a break.

Just then, the phone vibrated and a text message came.

"I have decided..."

It was from Theron.

He was leaning against something, but when he saw this he sat up.

Click in to see for sure that Theron is talking about deciding to have a baby!

His face suddenly became excited.

He's really going to be a father!

Although this approach was very different from what he understood, the feeling of becoming a father was exciting.

He called back and asked about Theron's status and arrangements.

After hanging up the phone, he became more and more excited and couldn't help jumping up excitedly.

He and Charlize Theron had agreed on the phone that he would come up with the Chinese name and Charlize Theron would come up with the English name, so it was time to think about it.

…

The next afternoon, Chicago was bustling with activity.

The streets around the United Center were bustling with fans. Even the nearby shops were occupied by fans who failed to buy tickets. Even if you were watching the live broadcast, the atmosphere was better if you were closer to the stadium.

On this day, surrounding consumption around the stadium was fully stimulated.

A promotional photo of the Bulls was hung in the center of the United Center, with Xu Yong in the center, Butler and Rose on both sides, and Adams and West on the outermost edge.

In the square below the poster, fans began waiting to enter early, and the crowded scene was spectacular.

This is a scene that only appeared in the playoffs before.

Moreover, a large number of their fans are wearing Xu Yong's No. 6 jersey. Xu Yong's popularity in Chicago now is no different from Jordan's in the past.

By the time night came, all the fans had already entered the stadium, but the number of people in the square did not decrease, but increased. They were crowded outside to watch the live broadcast on the stadium's large LED screen.

At this time, the stadium was already full and the commentators in the media area had started to warm up the atmosphere very early.

Even league commissioner Stern came to the scene, followed by vice president Adam Silver.

This will be Stern's last season in charge of the league. He will officially retire in February next year and be succeeded by Silver. Tatum will become vice president.

Although Stern wanted Tatum to succeed him, the NBA Board of Directors had its own way of choosing a successor, and in the end, in an anonymous vote, Silver defeated Tatum with a vote of 34 to 13.

This is understandable. Tatum is in charge of overseas markets, but most bosses don't see that Silver, who has more business acumen in labor-management negotiations, is more favored by them.

Half an hour before the game started, players from both sides began to enter the field in large numbers.

When Xu Yong appeared, the camera gave a close-up, which attracted a lot of cheers from the fans.

With Xu Yong officially entering his prime and the Bulls' strong season, tickets for Bulls games both home and away are now hard to come by.

Soon, there were louder cheers from the fans at the scene.

Because Xu Yong performed his signature 360-degree turn and slam dunk before the game.

It can be seen that he is a little excited tonight, which also makes the fans look forward to tonight's game more.

After the warm-up, the starting lineups of both sides were announced one after another.

Cavaliers: Irving, James, Marion, Davis, Love;

Bulls: Rose, Butler, Xu Yong, David West, Adams.

This summer, the Mavericks traded for power forward Dwight Powell, so they did not renew the contract with veteran Marion. Marion chose to join the Cavaliers. At the beginning of the season, the Cavaliers used Alonzo Gui as the starter, but the effect was not good, so they switched to Marion as the starter.

The game is about to begin and players from both sides are coming on stage one after another.

At this moment, James walked to the technical table, saw that there was enough magnesium powder on it, and began to signal to the media reporters in front.

Once the camera was in place, he poured magnesium powder onto his hands and threw it directly into the air.

Two years later, James resumed the ceremony.

And after throwing the ball, he quickly turned around and went on court, not giving the fans more time to react.

But soon, there was a burst of boos from the audience.

James' choice to resume this ceremony at the Bulls' home court is extremely provocative.

Although James' behavior is understandable, after all, the Bulls used an empty bottle to trick him at home, he is now taking revenge.

Xu Yong was also a little surprised. He thought that James would at least wait until he returned to his home court before throwing the ball, but now he did it in advance, obviously thinking that the Cavaliers had a chance tonight.

However, if the Cavaliers really win tonight, this magnesium powder throw will definitely become a hot topic after the game.

Of course, the same is true in reverse. He doesn't mind making James another hot search after the game.

Adams won the ball for the Bulls, and the NBA Spring Festival Gala officially began.

The Bulls used the pindown tactic at the beginning of the game. Marion, who was experienced, bypassed Adams' screen in advance and rushed directly to Xu Yong who received the ball.

However, Xu Yong had already made the shooting action, so he could only dive upwards.

But at this moment, he was passed by Xu Yong who received the ball.

In his prime, Marion was the most versatile defensive player in the league, truly able to defend from the one to the five positions. But now that he is older, he can probably post up to the basket with the ball, but his ability to defend against breakthroughs is clearly not up to par.

Of course, this definitely depends on the person, otherwise the Cavaliers would not use him as a starter. Xu Yong's shooting this season has basically no interference, so he has to block the shot, but if he blocks it, he will be dribbled past.

Xu Yong's steps were big and fast, and he had entered the penalty area in almost the blink of an eye.

Adams and Love were fighting fiercely under the basket. In the end, Adams, who had greater strength and weight, successfully blocked the offensive channel for Xu Yong, and Xu Yong flew up and was about to perform a gliding slam dunk.

But at this moment, a figure flew over from the side and tried to block Xu Yong's shot.

That's Anthony Davis.

Davis is tall and has long arms, and especially has the flexibility that is not available at this height, and his ability to assist in interior defense is maximized.

Seeing that it was about to happen, Davis' eyes sparkled.

Just like who didn’t want to block Jordan back then, who doesn’t want to block Xu Yong now?

But in the next moment, the ball in his eyes disappeared.

After Xu Yong noticed Davis's help defense, he pulled up in the air and changed his dunk into a layup to successfully avoid the opponent.

After successfully avoiding Davis' block, he dribbled the ball into the basket with a light layup.

The United Center was boiling.

This kind of ball was played at the beginning of the game. Their hunch during the warm-up turned out to be correct. Xu Yong was very excited tonight!

Xu Yong's opening attack ignited the emotions of the fans at the United Center, but in turn, James also made a sudden pass to assist Love to hit a three-pointer at the 45° angle on the right.

The biggest change for the Cavaliers in the past week and the first week of the season is that after clarifying the ball handler, their offensive ability finally improved.

There are four finishing points on the court, and Love, as a center, can also pull directly to the three-point line, which makes it really difficult for opponents to defend.

But immediately, Xu Yong responded with a mid-range shot after receiving the ball.

Marion was dribbled past and didn't dare to block the shot, but as soon as he didn't block it, Xu Yong shot directly and it went in.

When the camera turned to Marion, there was only helplessness on the "old hacker's" face.

Deng's previous remarks in front of the media were by no means flattery as a former teammate. Given Xu Yong's form this season, it is impossible to defend him alone.

And after retreating to the defensive end, Xu Yong turned around and made a gesture to Adams and West to switch defense.

As a result, after Adams did not rush to block Love, he performed a wonderful one-on-two defense drama in the interior. He first blocked James' breakthrough, and after James passed the ball to Davis at the baseline, he turned around and withstood Davis' attack on the basket, and also protected the defensive rebound.

This immediately made the fans at the scene boil. One defending two, this Adams is too tough!

Xu Yong was not surprised by Adams' performance.

The main content of Adams' training this summer is how to defend against flexible inside players, which is actually training skills such as defensive footwork and turning.

He can't defend Love like he did in the opening game, but he is very capable in protecting the rim in the penalty area.

Moreover, Davis' offensive skills during this period were relatively limited.

The Bulls advanced to the frontcourt, Butler continued to organize, and Xu Yong continued to come out to receive the ball.

Marion was fully focused this time and was not dribbled past or directly shot at. After seeing Xu Yong preparing for a back-to-the-basket shot, he finally had the opportunity to show his defensive ability.

Xu Yong leaned his back against Marion. He knew that Marion was strong and he used his whole body to exert force when he attacked from behind.

After two consecutive powerful confrontations forced Marion to lower his center of gravity, he turned and leaned back directly outside the three-point line.

Marion relied on his experience to make accurate judgments, successfully predicted the situation and rushed forward.

This was a similar round to the one Wade played in the opening game. Wade was 1.93 meters tall with a wingspan of 2.10 meters, while Marion was 2.01 meters tall with a wingspan of 2.20 meters. The interference Marion provided was greater than that of Wade at the time, and was basically only half a palm away from Xu Yong's shooting point.

However, in the end, like Wade, he did not stop Xu Yong from making the shot.

Xu Yong scored 6 points in a row at the start.

The fans at the scene cheered again. Xu Yong's condition was exactly the same as in the opening game.

No, it's even better, because he is facing Marion, who is good at defense.

Blatt rubbed his forehead and finally realized that he could not defend Xu Yong alone.

Fortunately, Irving changed direction and dribbled past Rose and made a layup to help the Cavaliers score more points.

The main reason why Irving's team has a poor record is because he has no organizational ability and his offense is not enough to change the defense.

This makes it difficult for him to be the leader of a team, but if he is just the second in command in scoring, then he is still very suitable.

Then the Cavaliers turned around and began to double-team Xu Yongshang.

But this one clamp makes the problem even bigger.

Because the double-team had just started, Xu Yong passed the ball in his hand.

The past two seasons for the Bulls were tough times in the short term, but they were a process in the long term.

Because in these two seasons, one and a half seasons were given to Xu Yong to develop his organizational ability, and he has become very experienced in dealing with double-teaming.

As soon as James came over to help defend, Butler received the pass from Xu Yong and assisted West to hit a 17-foot jump shot.

Blatt couldn't help but call a timeout.

It’s unstoppable, the Bulls’ offense is simply unstoppable!

Compared to the net score, the Bulls' average of 110 points per game in the past eight games is a more terrifying statistic.

This is data from before the league changed the second offense to 14 seconds!

Since the start of the season, only the Warriors next door have achieved this data.

But the Warriors' pace was obviously much faster than the Bulls', and the Bulls relied entirely on their success rate to win.

Nine minutes into the first quarter, both teams began to rotate, and the score on the field was already 30 to 20, and the Bulls had widened the gap to double digits.

The strength shown by the Cavaliers is indeed stronger than that of the Heat, but it is still not enough.

This doesn't look much different than the opener against the Heat.

However, after the game entered the rotation stage, the situation of the game changed.

Because in this period, the Bulls were caught up.

There are two main reasons for this. One is that the Cavaliers have a Big Four lineup, and Blatt has a lot of room for adjustment. He put James and Davis on the court one inside and one outside during the rotation, and the Cavaliers are still strong.

Another thing is that Rose is restricted. The person who restricts him is Dellavedova, a small character who is easily overlooked. He is a non-draft player and this is his second year in the NBA. If it was Rose before his serious injury, this type of defensive player would be ineffective against him, but now Rose is very uncomfortable being defended by him.

Xu Yong didn't notice Della when he was resting on the sidelines, but when he really restricted Rose, he didn't seem that surprised. After all, as someone who witnessed the 2015 Cavaliers-Warriors battle, he was very impressed by the scene where Della restricted Curry.

It can be said that half of the reason why Curry did not win the FMVP that year was because of him.

At the end of the first half, the Bulls and the Cavaliers were tied at 58.

The Bulls have an offensive advantage in the main stage, while the Cavaliers can catch up in the rotation stage.

This situation continued in the third quarter, with the Cavaliers and the Bulls evenly matched in all three quarters.

Facts have proved that there may be nothing wrong with Barkley using the Lakers F4 as an example, but that is for the longer term future. At least for now, the Cavaliers have strong hard power.

This also boosted the morale of the Cavaliers.

"Get it done (win the game)! Let's get it done!" James also shouted excitedly to the Cavaliers players during the timeout between the third and fourth quarters.

He could already see the scene after the team won the game. The magnesium powder he threw before the game was the beginning of his change of offense and defense in the confrontational relationship with Xu Yong.

"beep!"

After the fourth quarter, players from both teams came on the court one after another.

James continued to travel during off-peak hours, but when he came on the court, he suddenly realized something was wrong.

The Bulls actually sent out Xu Yong in advance!

Thibodeau certainly did not hold back. The reason why he did not put Xu Yong on the bench when Rose was defended in the first half was simply because he felt that the time was not right yet.

Now in the second half, Xu Yong still has plenty of energy. He took the lead in a wave at the beginning of the fourth quarter, which was much better than the alternating back and forth in the first half.

It turns out that Thibodeau has been coaching the Bulls for so many years and is very familiar with this team.

Hinrich, Foye, Xu Yong, West, Hawes.

Yes, he even thoughtfully replaced West during this period of time so that Xu Yong could burst out with points.

And at this time we have to say how correct the Bulls' decision to keep Hawes in the summer was, because after Yi Jianlian left, Xu Yong can finally play a one-star style of play again.

Blatt was totally unprepared for Thibodeau's move. All he basically did was switch defenses, using James and Davis, but he couldn't defend against either.

He still didn't remember that he couldn't defend Xu Yong alone, especially Xu Yong in this state tonight.

However, he didn't dare to use a pincer attack against this star-studded lineup.

13 to 2.

Xu Yong scored 13 points in a row explosively, using his personal wave with a strong heroic color to help the Bulls widen the score.

Blatter had no choice but to call a halt.

Because the two teams are at best evenly matched tonight, it is unrealistic to expect the Cavaliers to catch up with a double-digit score difference in the final moments.

Then, at this time, there were sporadic shouts at first, but then they began to spread to the entire venue.

At this moment, Xu Yong was drinking the energy drink handed to him by the staff.

He didn't hear it clearly at first, but when he heard it clearly, he spat out a mouthful of drink.

Because the fans were shouting so clearly, so loudly, and so continuously, it was clear that:

"Who.is.your.daddy!"

The reason for this statement was probably due to James' provocation of throwing magnesium powder before the game.

There can be many interpretations for this sentence, but at this time, when he shouted such words after he had made a personal wave of attacks, there is only one explanation: it is an extension of Butler's trash talk at the time.

Who.is.your.daddy?

Xu.is.your.daddy!

He is going to be a father, but not this father!
