Tonight and tomorrow night, the Bobcats are playing back-to-back home games against the Hornets and Kings, with the Kings having flown to Charlotte from Milwaukee this morning.
Paul was invited at home, Rondo was invited at a restaurant. This difference is not about closeness of relationships but based on the style of the guests being invited.
Paul cares about appearances, but more about the substance behind the appearances, ambitious yet casual about attire, food, and housing, as long as it's not lacking. Zhang Yang's home certainly isn't lacking, so he wouldn't feel embarrassed.
Rondo is aloof, concerned about outward appearances. Previously low-profile as a junior, he showed his true nature after being traded to the Kings — eager to show generosity by spending money, liking to embellish himself with luxurious lifestyles.
Therefore, Zhang Yang and Felton choose different locations to host these two good friends.
