Chapter 39 You know, Zheng is my best brother (Please subscribe)

The Mavericks eventually won the game. The outcome of the game was already in doubt early on, as the Mavericks had maintained a ten-point lead since the third quarter.

Even though the Nuggets went on a 10:0 run in the early fourth quarter, the Mavericks still widened the gap.

But it was still a very exciting game because both rookies performed well today and showed their talents in front of the fans.

Zheng Yang only took 11 shots today and scored 18 points and 12 rebounds, in addition to 3 blocks and 3 steals. Except for the lack of assists, his performance in other aspects was perfect.

Although Anthony scored 25 points, he took 20 shots and his hit rate was not high.

However, there were some wonderful goals in the process.

Although Anthony scored more points in the end, anyone who watched the entire game would know that Zheng Yang was undoubtedly the more outstanding one.

He looked very relaxed today and was able to score the ball easily no matter he was facing Anthony or other defenders.

At the same time, he also made great achievements in defense. For example, in the third quarter, he blocked and stole the ball from Anthony in single defense, causing the latter to have to use pick-and-roll to avoid Zheng Yang.

Even Anthony expressed helplessly in the interview after the game.

"You ask me which of us is better?

Can't you see he beat me in the third quarter?
I have to admit that I didn't respect him enough before. What I mean is that he is indeed a better player than me, or in other words, he is currently the best player in our class.

If he wins the Rookie of the Year award, I think I will support him with both hands.

But I will continue to work hard to get stronger, and I am looking forward to our next game and hoping that I can perform better. "

Anthony is not a stubborn person. If he loses, he loses. There is no need to find all kinds of reasons to explain it.

After the game, Zheng Yang followed the team bus back to the hotel where they would rest for the night. They would fly back to Dallas tomorrow.

Zheng Yang had just finished taking a shower when he received a call with the name "Cameron" on it.

They just exchanged contact information after the game. After all, the previous verbal attacks in front of the media did not mean anything. The end of the game meant that all those things were over.

But why did Melo call him at this time?
“Hey Cameron, I just got out of the shower!

Going out for a walk?
Well I guess it was a good decision, but I can't come back too late.

You know our head coach is going to kick my ass if he finds out I'm not here when he's leaving tomorrow morning.

OK, I'll go downstairs right away!"

After changing his clothes, Zheng Yang went downstairs. Although he didn't know why the other party suddenly asked him to go out for a walk, he thought that nothing bad would happen.

There wasn't any big dispute between them, they just had some verbal spats with each other in front of the media.

If he were to target Zheng Yang for this, Anthony wouldn't have any chance of playing in the NBA anymore.

After a few verbal disputes, if he can't win on the court, he will fight off the court. Who would dare to play basketball with him?

Zheng Yang also went to the appointment with the mentality of making friends. After all, in addition to fighting and killing, the NBA also has human relationships and social etiquette.

As a yellow man, while he needs to prove himself with his strength, he also needs to build good interpersonal relationships.

Instead of seeing enemies everywhere!
When he went downstairs, Anthony was already waiting there. When he saw Zheng Yang, he took the initiative to step forward and gave him a hug with a smile.

“Hello Zheng! I’m sorry for what I said in front of the media before.

That's really disrespectful to you.

How about we go get something to eat and forget all about this? I think we could sit down and talk. "

"Cameron, you don't have to feel sorry for those things. You and I both know that we are the same kind of people. We just don't want to admit defeat.

There's nothing wrong with that.

I think this experience will help us understand each other better, which may not be a bad thing.”

"I like your point of view, that's correct. Haha! Get in the car, let me take you to a nice place!"

Anthony really likes this way of chatting with Zheng Yang. He behaves completely different from how he does on the court. He is much more mature and calm than his peers.

This made the young and energetic Anthony instinctively want to get close to him.

Anthony drove to a restaurant not far away and prepared to go in for a midnight snack. In fact, in the United States, the bar is a place that is more suitable for young people to communicate and many social activities can be carried out more conveniently here.

But there was no way out. One of them was 18 and the other was 19 years old, and neither of them met the minimum requirements to enter the bar, so they had to give up.

After ordering some food, the two sat in the corner of the restaurant and started chatting.

When Anthony learned that Zheng Yang also came from the slums, he felt that he and Zheng Yang were really compatible and that it was a great fortune for him to meet him.

Therefore, they started chatting even more enthusiastically. Naturally, when two people were together, they couldn't help but talk about basketball.

"To be honest, Zheng, you are really the best player I have ever seen in this age group. I am not a person who likes to admit that others are stronger than me, I mean people of the same age.

Of course, such people basically do not exist. Even for LeBron, I think he is at most an athlete of the same level as me, but saying that he can beat me is just a lie by the media.

Only you, after watching your games and playing against you, am I willing to admit that you are really better than me.

And I love what you do on the court, I mean, I’m actually a fan of yours.

It is a great pleasure for me to be your friend." Anthony expressed his true feelings. This 19-year-old boy may have many shortcomings, but it must be admitted that he is indeed a person of true character.

"It is also my honor to be able to compete with you on the same stage."

"Zheng, can you tell me why you came to play in the NBA?"

"Honestly, my answer may sound corny, but it is true.

I love basketball. It occupies a very important part of my life and I can't live without it.

So when I had this talent, I wanted to come to the NBA and create my own story.

Like Michael, he is called the God of Basketball.

But I hope that in another ten or twenty years, the media and fans will say that the basketball god of the NBA in the 21s was Michael, but in the st century, the basketball god is Zheng. "

Zheng Yang smiled, revealing some of his youthful spirit, his eyes full of determination.

No matter how many championships or scoring titles he wins, his goal is to surpass Jordan.

Since you want to play in the NBA, then make yourself the best in the NBA.

Don’t be the tail of a phoenix, just be the head of a dragon!
Cameron looked at him in a daze, suspecting that he had heard it wrong.

Growing up, he had only heard people say that their idol was Michael and that they grew up watching Michael play, but he had never heard anyone say that they wanted to be Michael, or even surpass Michael.

After all, the achievements he has created and his influence on the field of basketball are really hard to shake!
"Zheng, that sounds too difficult!"

"Cameron, anything is possible."

Seeing Zheng Yang's determination, Carmelo Anthony pursed his lips and nodded, while also setting higher goals in his heart.

He is also talented and he wants to create his own story in the league.

"Zheng, if you have any training plans during the off-season, please be sure to call me. I want to train with you.

Only by being with you can I make faster progress! "

Anthony urged.

"Yes, Melon! I'll call you up."

Zheng Yang smiled. Why did he feel like he was recruiting younger brothers?
It seems like a good idea to take Anthony in as his younger brother. After all, he will need some younger brothers to show off for him in the future, just like Magic Johnson praising Jordan every day.

As long as Anthony develops normally, this amount will be enough.

"Hey Zheng, what did you just call me? Melon?"

Anthony suddenly reacted and asked with some confusion.

Zheng Yang smiled and nodded.

“Yes, that’s the nickname I gave you, I think you are very suitable for this name.

After all, your name sounds like melon, and you are very sweet when you smile.

What do you think of this title? "

"Melon? Melon!

Hey that sounds great, I love the name!
From now on my nickname will be Melon!"

……

The two chatted until late at night before going back home. When Anthony was interviewed by some media the next day, he immediately smiled when he mentioned his relationship with Zheng Yang.

"Haha, you know, Zheng is my best friend in the league! I like him very much, he is really good, and there are many things in him that I can learn from.

By the way, you can call me by my nickname – Melon – from now on.

That was given to me by Zheng. He said I look very sweet when I smile. That name sounds really good. I like it very much. "

He quickly shared his new nickname with others, he really liked it.

Media: Wang Defa? You two were arguing with each other before? The game just ended yesterday, and now you two are best friends?
What about LeBron who is far away on the Cleveland Cavaliers?
And what are we?
Is it part of your play?

The media may never understand that sometimes friendships between men come so suddenly.

Well, not only the media couldn't understand it, but when LeBron saw the news, he also couldn't understand it.

Cameron, wasn't I your best friend in the league before?

How come your heart changed after you just had one match with that big boss?

Shouldn't you hate him and try every way to defeat him?

Also, what the hell is a melon?

Why did he give you such an intimate name? What do you think of me?

　The first order has just reached 200, so just update it normally.
