NBA: Be the GOAT starting today!

Off-season day, Los Angeles.

At the Clippers' training facility, the players are practicing diligently on the court.

Camby is teaching DeAndre Jordan positioning techniques, while Baron Davis and James Harden are having a one-on-one match.

Inside the coach's office, Mike Malone was with Nick Nurse and Tyronn Lue, the Clippers' newly recruited assistant coaches, discussing tactics for the next game against the Lakers.

Nurse was recommended by Zhou Yi. This future Raptors championship coach is currently coaching in the G League and was discovered and recommended to McMalone by Zhou Yi.

As for Tyronn Lue, he didn't join the Celtics as a director like Zhou Yi did in his previous life. By a twist of fate, Lue also came to the Clippers, just a decade or so earlier.

The Clippers haven't had a good time lately. Although they beat the Bobcats, they lost their next two games.

The Clippers lost to the Toronto Raptors 114-90 at home.

Without Zhou Yi's offensive firepower, the Clippers' scoring dropped significantly.

The Clippers lost 98-101 to the Hornets, who were missing Chris Paul due to injury, in New Orleans.

Baron Davis scored 31 points, but in the crucial moment, no one could stop Peja, who hit a game-winning three-pointer.

With the Clippers losing two games, they have fallen to sixth place in the Western Conference standings.

Roy, Aldridge, and Oden led the Trail Blazers to fifth place.

Of course, this young Trail Blazers team isn't having an easy time either. God always seems to be playing tricks on the Trail Blazers' center, as Oden got injured again in the most recent game.

Zhou Yi participated in both games with the team for training and tactical meetings, but once the games started, he could only cheer for his teammates outside the arena. (During the NBA suspension, players are not allowed to remain in the arena.)

After several days without a match, Zhou Yi was itching to get back on the court.

Not only because the Clippers desperately needed a win after two consecutive losses, but also because of the comments made by that old viper in front of the media.

"The Lakers are ready this time, and we will have our revenge week against the Clippers at Staples Center."

"What? You're saying that was the Clippers' home court that day? No! Staples Center will always be the Lakers' home court."

In yesterday's Lakers' victory over the Raptors, Kobe Bryant delivered a stellar performance, scoring 38 points. This was mentioned in a post-game interview when discussing their next opponent, the Clippers.

After hearing Kobe's interview, Zhou Yi angrily ran to the court and shot three hundred three-pointers before going to bed.

In Los Angeles, Zhou Yi disliked the Lakers' aloofness and hated that the Staples Center was filled with purple and gold.

At the same time, just last night, Zhou Yi also received a new random task issued by the system.

[Win at home against the Lakers: Reward with a random Lakers player skill pack]

Looking at the task issued by the system, Zhou Yi clenched his fist.

This time, at the Clippers' home court in Staples Center, Zhou Yi must secure this victory.

......

The next day, June 10th.

VIP entrance to Staples Center, Los Angeles.

"The Kardashian sisters are here, Taylor Swift is over there, and Leonardo DiCaprio and Jay-Z just passed by here too."

Elena, a reporter for the Los Angeles Times, said in front of the camera that she saw an old man wearing a baseball cap.

"It's Steven Spielberg. He's also at Staples Center to watch the game tonight. The Clippers vs. Lakers game has attracted a lot of stars, and..."

Elena's eyes were already overwhelmed; tonight's game was not only a basketball duel, but also a glittering arena of fame and fortune.

Inside the stadium, Zhou Yi experienced for the first time the troubles of having too many celebrities.

On the sidelines, many celebrities were taking photos with Zhou Yi before the match.

Beckham's two sons have completely switched from Lakers fans to Zhou Yi fans, and they are now wearing Zhou Yi's number eight jerseys.

"Will you win this game, Zhou?"

Four-year-old Cruz, Beckham's youngest son, said in a childish voice.

"Yes, Cruz, the Clippers will beat the Lakers."

Zhou Yi scratched Cruz's nose, and the boy happily raised his hand and cheered.

After socializing with the celebrities on the sidelines, Zhou Yi gave an interview to TNT under the ball hoop.

The Clippers vs. Lakers game is being broadcast live across the United States, and Barkley and Kenny's TNT duo were arranged to be present at the game.

Looking at Fei Zhu's plump rear end, Zhou Yi couldn't believe the torment that players from the 80s and 90s had endured.

"Zhou, before the game, Kobe was determined to win. What are your thoughts?"

Barkley asked Zhou Yi, a smug smile spreading across his fat face.

Zhou Yi did not disappoint Barkley's expectations; he chose a tough stance to respond to Kobe's remarks.

"Tell that mamba that it's December, and I'll personally put the snake into hibernation."

"Oh! Hahaha, Zhou, I will definitely pass on the message."

Barkley and Kenny looked surprised; Zhou Yi's remarks were well received by these two veterans.

He doesn't have fake brotherhood; he's just as competitive as the stars of the 80s and 90s.

This is so rare in today's NBA.

......

The fans have finished entering the stands.

The once purple and gold Staples Center has now turned into a blue and white ocean.

To prevent Lakers fans from infiltrating and disrupting the Clippers' home arena, the wealthy Steve Ballmer used his financial power.

He voluntarily gave up a portion of the ticket revenue, giving away tickets for the area behind the two basketball hoops to Clippers fans who couldn't afford to enter at an extremely low price, just to create a Staples Center home court without Lakers fans.

At this moment, the billionaire was also sitting in the stadium, wearing Zhou Yi's jersey and cheering with the fans.

As the game time approached, all other lights in the stadium were turned off, except for the lights in front of the players' tunnel, which flickered.

"Let's welcome the guard from UCLA, who is 6 feet 3 inches tall, Clippers number 1, Baron Davis."

After the bearded man was introduced by the Clippers' home commentators, a tall figure appeared in the player tunnel.

The moment he appeared, all eyes in the stadium turned to him.

That was the foundation upon which the Clippers set sail, and the secret to their current position in the top eight of the Western Conference.

"Next, let's welcome the Clippers' key player!"

"A Chinese forward from Davidson College, the 2008 NCAA Major Championship winner (MOP), the 09 number one draft pick, 6 feet 8 inches tall, and the Clippers' number eight!"

"Captain ~ Zhou ~ Yi ~"

Clippers home commentator Ralph Lawler shouted with a passionate, trembling voice.

The moment Zhou Yi's name was read out, all the lights in the room shone on him instantly.

"Zhou! Zhou! Zhou!"

The decibel level in the arena instantly rose, and the Clippers fans in the stands offered their most enthusiastic cheers and applause at that moment.

Across the court, Kobe's serious expression froze for a moment, then his eyes regained their fierceness.

This was the first time he had ever seen the Clippers' home arena like this. They were different now; the former underdogs had been brought together by Zhou Yi.

Regardless, Kobe, eager for revenge, is determined to win this game.

On the court, when the lights came back on, the starting players for both the Clippers and the Lakers had already taken to the court.

Zhou Yi looked at Kobe. The two Los Angeles team leaders had serious expressions and their eyes were filled with an extreme desire for victory.

Kobe's revenge, the Clippers vs. Lakers rematch, is about to begin.
