LOS ANGELES -- NBA star Derrick Rose testified Friday in a lawsuit accusing him and two friends of raping his ex-girlfriend, saying he interpreted a text message from the woman as consent to have sex with her later that night.Their text message exchange in August 2013 started with a text from the woman to Rose, saying he was the reason she wakes up horny. She included a photo of herself in her nightshirt and continued the exchange with other texts about sex throughout the day.Rose said Friday he surmised that the initial text had triggered consent from that point on, and said his assumption was reinforced by their sexual history, sex acts she engaged in with him and one of his friends that night at his house, and an invitation hours later to her apartment.I was assuming that all of us going over there that she wanted to have sex with all of us, Rose testified.His description of the incident differed dramatically from the womans testimony, which lasted a day and a half in Los Angeles federal court.The 30-year-old woman denied having sex earlier in the evening at Roses Beverly Hills mansion, although she also said she blacked out and could only piece together the evening through short flashes of memory and by reviewing a flurry of text messages she was able to send despite being drunk and possibly drugged.At the end of Fridays testimony, Roses lawyer asked the judge to declare a mistrial because of a profane text message that he said the womans lawyers had failed to reveal until Friday.The judge said he would take up the issue Tuesday morning before the Knicks point guard is scheduled to resume testimony. The judge ordered Rose to return to the stand even if it means missing a preseason game the night before in New York.Rose, 28, was called to the stand by the plaintiffs lawyer on Friday as a hostile witness to help make the plaintiffs case that the woman never gave consent to have sex with him and his longtime friends and assistants, Randall Hampton and Ryan Allen.Consent is the main issue for the jury of six women and two men. The defendants, all friends since their adolescence in Chicago, have denied the allegations and said the woman consented.ESPN is not naming the woman because it generally does not identify people who say they are victims of sexual assault.Rose said the only time the woman said, Stop, was after she let the three men into her apartment and they all headed for the bedroom together.She told us, One at a time, Rose testified. He said that he and Hampton waited on the sofa while Allen was in the bedroom.The woman testified she never let the men into her place and remembers waking to see them all in her bedroom. She recalled Allen on top of her at one point and, at another, Rose pulling her to the side of the bed as she tried to roll off.Rose said he never received any text message from the woman telling him she wanted to have sex with him and the two others. He said he assumed consent from what had transpired previously and the fact that she had never told him no.In my mind, she consented every time we had sex. Why wouldnt she do it that time? he said.The plaintiffs attorney, Waukeen McCoy, suggested Rose had no remorse about the night in question.Im sensitive to it, Rose replied, but added, I feel I didnt do anything wrong.Rose hadnt seen the woman since breaking up months earlier but invited her over for drinks that night. She came with a friend, and after a shot or two of tequila, she became sexually aggressive, which turned him off, Rose said.Rose retreated to his room, where he rebuffed further advances until a friend removed her from the room, he testified.About 20 minutes later, he said, he walked outside and saw Hampton having sex with her by the side of the pool, and she pulled Rose over to join them, although he broke away and returned to his room.Rose said the woman was acting a bit abnormally but he didnt think she was drunk.Rose said he once had feelings for the woman and thought they had a bond. He was once asked whether he thought she was after his money.Not at that time, he said Friday.Defense lawyers have suggested the woman sued for financial gain. The lawsuit seeks $21.5 million.The woman denied she was motivated by money in filing the suit, saying: I didnt wish him any harm; I wanted him to be accountable.The woman didnt report the incident to police until she filed suit more than two years later. Los Angeles police still have an open investigation.Also Friday, Knicks coach Jeff Hornacek said he is unsure whether Rose will play in Saturdays preseason game against the Brooklyn Nets.Hornacek said the decision about whether Rose plays will be Roses. The Knicks have home games against the Nets on Saturday and the Washington Wizards on Monday.He has to take care of his business. If hes got to stay there and get it done, go through that process, and then come back and be focused on basketball, its up to him, Hornacek said. Were allowing him to take care of that. And when he comes back, well be ready.Hornacek acknowledged that not having Rose around the team might affect his ability to learn the Knicks new offense. He said Rose is missing the aspects of the offense that coaches have installed the past two days.He understands the game, so he should be picking it up pretty quickly, Hornacek said.ESPNs Ian Begley and The Associated Press contributed to this report.

MANAUS, Brazil -- Known simply by her first name, Marta Vieira da Silva is one of the best women ever to play soccer.And with the Olympics in Brazil, people in her home country are finally getting familiar with her.While Brazils other No. 10 -- Neymar -- is struggling with the mens team, Marta is seeing success. And the locals are noticing.For her two goals in a 5-1 victory over Sweden, Marta was showered with cheers. And it wasnt just her goals, one of which came from the penalty spot. She also displayed stunning footwork that wowed spectators.Better than Neymar! the fans at the Olympic Stadium in Rio de Janeiro chanted.She brings so much passion to the game. So much enthusiasm. And I think her teammates thrive off that passion, U.S. goalkeeper Hope Solo said. We always have to game-plan for her.With the victory, Brazil assured itself of a spot in the quarterfinals. The United States and Canada also have already secured sports in the knockout round with one more day of group play on Tuesday. The Brazilians face South Africa at Amazonia Arena in Manaus, following a match between the United States and Colombia. The event is already a sellout.When Brazil arrived in Manaus on Sunday, a small crowd of about 100 was there to greet the team at the airport. Some chanted for Marta and a few young girls even wore her No. 10 jersey.Marta grew up playing street soccer with the boys in Dois Riachos, a town about 1,250 miles north of Rio de Janeiro. She was only 17 when she appeared at the 2003 World Cup in the United States.For the 2006 season, Marta won the first of an unprecedented five straight FIFA World Player of the Year awards.Dubbed Pele in skirts, Marta scored seven goals at the 2007 World Cup in China, but Brazil finished as runners-up in the tournament after falling to Germany 2-0 in the final.With Marta, the Brazilians have won the silver medal at both the 2004 and 2008 Olympics. Her duel with Solo in the final at the Beeijing Games was considered epic.dddddddddddd Carli Lloyd scored the game-winner in extra time for the Americans, but it was Solo that fended off a point-blank shot from Marta in the 72nd minute.One of their biggest showdowns came at the 2011 World Cup in Germany. Solo came out the victor on penalty kicks after a dramatic 2-2 draw. Marta had both goals for Brazil, including a controversial penalty kick, but Solo was able to stop Daiane in the shootout. The Americans would go on to the final.With Marta you have to have a little extra attention to her, even though our team defense is really good and really organized. Thats a compliment to her, Solo said Monday. I have played for coaches in the past who thought we could just play our style of soccer against Marta, and weve been punished for it. So Im very aware that we have to pay extra attention to her.Marta has scored 104 goals in 105 international appearances. She has the most World Cup goals with 15. She has 10 Olympic goals, tying her for third on the career list with Abby Wambach.But what Marta doesnt have in her storied career is a major international title.Given the struggles on the mens side, the Brazilians seem to be pinning their hopes on Marta and her teammates at the Olympics.Neymar was taunted by fans chanting Marta! in a 0-0 draw against Iraq on Sunday at Mane Garrincha Stadium in Brasilia. Brazil also played to a scoreless draw with South Africa in the opener and next face Denmark on Wednesday.Mens coach Rogerio Micale said despite the teasing from the fans, the team was proud of its womens side and the other No. 10.For her part, Marta brushed off any comparison to her famous male counterpart. Her focus is elsewhere.This comparison we leave to the fans, Marta said. We all cheer for the mens team and we know that they cheer for us. ' ' '
