There is no doubt that Rose is a qualified leader.

However, he showed his leadership ability more on the court. His introverted personality made it difficult for him to yell on the court or give chicken soup to his teammates off the court.

But these are actually a very important part of a leader.

Noah had added this part before, and after Xu Yong came, he did not fight for Noah's power.

But now it's Noah who's in frustration, so he has to show his leadership style.

In fact, it really works.

Because after Xu Yong said this, in addition to shock, there was a look of recognition in Noah's eyes that came from nowhere.

Although, the person who said "We can't lose" was just a rookie.

Not only him, but other people on the Bulls team didn't think there was anything wrong with what Xu Yong said.

Because Xu Yong is one of the two best performers tonight.

And Ross would never talk like that.

This gave them great confidence.

After the timeout, the Cavaliers' final attack.

A large number of fans at the scene stood up, with nervous expressions on their faces.

This is a life-and-death ball. If they can defend it, they still have a chance to play overtime. If they can't defend it, they will be defeated.

Although the team's performance tonight was good enough and even exceeded their expectations, the most painful thing in a basketball game is to be defeated by the buzzer beater.

The Cavaliers passed the ball from the backcourt, and Williams advanced to the frontcourt and passed it to James.

James holds the ball and presses the time.

The strategy for this ball is very simple. It would be best if we could make the buzzer beater, but even if we can't make it, we can't leave the Bulls with another chance to make it.

Time passed by second by second, and with about 9 seconds left in the game, James launched an attack.

Because the person defending him was Deng, not Xu Yong, James chose to break through directly, which is his best finishing method.

Moreover, he has a superstar whistle, so even if he cannot score directly, he can still create damage and end the game with free throws.

His breakthrough was determined and Deng was unable to stop him, but the Bulls' defense contracted faster than expected.

During this timeout, the Bulls' morale did not seem to drop, but instead improved a lot.

James had no chance to attack the basket directly, and with little time left, he faced two choices: either a quick stop jump shot or a pass.

He chose the latter without hesitation.

This was a very smart choice because when the Bulls' defense shrinks, they will inevitably miss the defender on the outside.

Helping teammates at critical moments is his most straightforward understanding of the word "team".

Moreover, his passing vision is very good. After he jumped, he quickly found his teammate, Anthony Parker, who was in the best position.

Parker made 3 of 4 shots from beyond the three-point line tonight and played very stably.

There is no reason for Parker to miss this kind of open ball.

The ball flew straight toward Parker, who showed the qualities of an excellent shooter, stretching his hand out in advance to get into shooting position, ready to catch the ball.

but!

At this moment, a figure rushed quickly towards the middle of the passing route, and it was obviously predicted in advance.

“Bang!”

Amid the exclamations of the fans at the scene, a figure rushed out from the side and completed the steal!

What followed was unstoppable cheers.

It’s Xu Yong!

After the steal happened, everyone could see clearly who made the steal.

The Bulls' bench was already boiling with excitement, and even DeNagro clenched his fists in excitement.

All they expected was to defend the final round, and even when James passed the ball and saw that it was Parker in the open position, their expectations seemed to be dashed.

But Xu Yong directly completed the steal!

Xu Yong dribbled the ball and ran towards the front court.

He was betting that James would pass the ball and pass it to the teammate who was most confident.

It turns out that he knows James very well.

After using his teammates to provide him with visual cover, he pounced quickly and made a successful attack like a cheetah crawling in the grass.

"Hurry! Hurry!" Zhang Weiping shouted quickly from the commentary booth.

Although Xu Yong's steal was beautiful, because the Cavaliers attacked until the last minute, he obviously did not have enough time to cross half court.

When Xu Yong fast-break across half court, there were less than 3 seconds left until the end of the game.

Xu Yong actually knew it too.

The moment he completed the steal, he looked up at the time and counted silently in his mind.

When he rushed to the front three-point line, he knew it was too late to fast break to the basket.

He chose to jump, then pulled the ball up and started shooting, gliding forward.

Doing this will save as much time as possible while also getting as close to the basket as possible.

After he completed the shot in the air, he immediately threw the ball out.

"beep!"

Almost at the same time, the red light on the sidelines came on.

Everyone at the scene held their breath, even the excited people in the commentary booth stopped.

The huge United Center is exceptionally quiet at this moment.

After Xu Yong completed the shot in the air, he also looked at the ball.

“Tick-tock~Tick-tock~”

At this moment, one can seem to hear the sound of time passing.

Everyone's eyes moved with the movement of the basketball, as if it were in slow motion.

"Bang!"

The moment the basketball hits the backboard, the time barrier is broken in an instant.

This kind of ball drifting forward is likely to hit the board due to inertia.

And the ball bounced off the backboard.

“Swish!”

With a hint of violence, it went straight through the net bag!

"A decisive kill! It's a decisive kill! Xu Yong made the decisive kill!" Yang Yi in the commentary booth jumped up first.

Zhang Weiping beside him was so excited that he was speechless.

The next second, the entire United Center was filled with the cheers of fans.

Those fans who stood up raised their hands high in an instant.

Those fans who had not yet stood up suddenly jumped up from their benches.

They all raised their hands high, especially the gangster bosses with tattoos on their arms, they looked extremely powerful!

Even Jordan stood up and applauded.

I thought no one could be better than Xu Yong in the first quarter when he stole the ball from James and then dunked.

Unexpectedly...Xu Yong: I’m still here!

With this steal and buzzer-beating three-pointer, Xu Yong imprinted himself into the history books in his NBA debut!

Jordan's reaction said something more.

Although the AJ brand belongs to Nike, they are essentially two sneaker brands.

Now that Xu Yong performed so well in his debut, it is a foregone conclusion that AJ will sell well in China. How can we not be happy?

On the court, Xu Yong was also very excited after seeing the ball go in.

Especially after seeing Jordan applauding him, he was even more excited than when he defeated Jordan in the training camp.

His adrenaline was surging, and the image of James throwing magnesium powder at the technical table at the beginning of the game emerged uncontrollably in his mind.

He felt an irresistible urge in his heart, and rushed directly to the technical desk.

At this time, his teammates on the court and off the court were rushing towards him to celebrate.

But after a few flexible dodgments, he led his teammates to the technical table halfway through the court.

Then, in the astonished eyes of the technicians, he jumped up lightly.

Then, to the cheering fans, just as he once did at Arizona State University's field, he pointed to the floor and shouted, "This.is.Chicago!"

“This.is.Chicago!”

He shouted it twice, as if to declare the specialness of this field, because it was the home of the Bulls dynasty;

Or maybe it was a response to James, Chicago is a special city, Chicago fans will not salute any self-proclaimed king, they will only cheer for the Bulls!

In response to Xu Yong, there were the crazy cheers of Chicago fans and the spotlights of reporters rushing to the sidelines.

This scene of Xu Yong will definitely become a classic moment of this season.

Just at this moment, a player from the Cavaliers walked towards the player tunnel without looking back.

Because of his identity and the number "23" on the back of his jersey, he quickly attracted the attention of fans.

The classic drama "Winners hug each other, losers go through the tunnel" is now being performed.

Xu Yong did not stay at the technical table for too long. After venting his emotions, he jumped off the table and hugged his teammates one by one.

The teammates still looked very excited. They were thought to be unable to enter the playoffs, but they defeated the Cavaliers, who were ranked first in the strength list, in the opening game. This victory was very important to them.

After Xu Yong hugged Ross, he was suddenly hugged tightly by someone, and the other person buried his head directly in his shoulder.

After realizing it was Noah, he patted the latter on the back.

After the two separated, Noah looked at Xu Yong with eyes full of respect.

There was no verbal communication between the two, but at this moment any language seemed redundant.

Xu Yong said they would not lose, and he really did it.

At this moment, Noah was conquered by Xu Yong from the bottom of his heart!
