One Guard

Blue Bar, Dallas, Texas, USA.

All the beer in people's glasses was spilled into the sky, and all the fans in blue T-shirts raised their arms and clenched their fists and shouted loudly. The voice in the TV was covered by their roar, but no one cared what the narrator said at this time.

"I am undoubtedly the hero tonight! The protagonist! His performance today is perfect in both the process and the result!" one of the Mavericks fans who watched in the bar shouted.

"I've known since the day of the draft! I will also become a hero of Dallas!" Another thin fan shouted with a toast.

"Come on, Bill, I remember that on the day of the draft live, I saw Cuban traded Butler to choose Ye, you are the one who scolded the most." After the thin man finished speaking, someone took down the stage immediately.

"I...Hey old George, I think the space left on the wall on the left side of the bar can be kept. Tomorrow I will get a photo that is also on the court. You take the photo frame and hang it there. How's it going?" The thin man was speechless, so he immediately chatted with the barkeeper and broke the subject.

Unlike the bar where football fans gather, this bar is not set up specifically for basketball fans of the Mavericks. In fact, most of the guests tonight did not come for the Mavericks game.

But now no one will stop the group of drunks wearing blue T-shirts and yelling in front of the TV. The charm of competitive sports is just that.

Dallas, U.S. Route Center Arena scene.

The timer on the backboard returned to zero, and the referee blew his whistle. At the end of the game, the Mavericks fans celebrated happily one by one. Although the game entered garbage time long ago, it was obvious that not many people left the game early.

86 to 100, the Trail Blazers lost by 14 points in the away game. And if it wasn't because the Mavericks gave up resistance during the garbage time period, it would be impossible to "only" have 14 points.

"Really a good game." When McMillan came to shake hands with Carlisle, the smile on his face was uglier than crying. "Your team is great, Mr. Carlisle."

"More compliments." Carlisle simply responded to the opponent with a single sentence. In the case of the opponent losing by a big score, it is better to say less.

Watching McMillan leave, Carlisle turned to look at the players behind him.

At this point, although the game is over, there are still many fans who did not rush out, especially some fans in the front row.

They were all shouting Yiyang's name, and stretched out their hands, hoping that Yiyang could shake hands or sign their own.

Even Nowitzki, who is standing on the sidelines in a suit and leather shoes, has no such treatment today. Carlisle smiled, at least today, Yiyang is the real hero!

"Go kid, go and sign the little girl." Nowitzki saw the crowds in the stands, but Yiyang was indifferent, so he went up and patted the shoulder of the No. 1 guard.

At this time, the German talent found that Yiyang's jersey was wet. It seems that this guy on the court really tried his best to fight. In this game, Carlisle played Yiyang for a full 38 minutes, and Kidd spent most of the time wearing training clothes and chatting with himself off the court.

Nowitzki smiled, such a jersey is worthy of such a big victory.

Yiyang nodded, then walked to the edge of the stand, took the little girl's pen, and then signed her Chinese name on the small card she handed over.

If it was Nowitzki, he might touch the little girl's head, and then say a few warm and beautiful words to her.

But Yiyang didn't. The Chinese just squeezed a smile at the little girl. Although he has been playing in the NBA for more than two months, Yiyang is still not very good at this kind of thing.

After Yiyang signed his name, he walked back to Nowitzki like completing a task.

Seeing Yiyang's mechanical performance, Nowitzki was really dumbfounded.

"Remember, also. Don't be downcast when you lose, and enjoy when you win. Believe me, they love to see your smile." The German said, pointing to the fans who were reluctant to leave.

"Yeah." Yiyang nodded slightly, this guy is still the same, not interested in anything other than basketball and victory at all.

"Do you know Charles, before this game, 70% of the sports media may not be optimistic that the Mavericks can win at home. They believe that a team that loses to the Raptors and Bucks has no strength and good condition at all? The Blazers contend. But the result of today’s game...I think the press conference will be very exciting later." Kenny Smith looked at the huge difference on the big screen. Tonight, the news The conference will not be peaceful.

※※※

"I am very satisfied with the performance of our players in this game, very, very satisfied." Looking at the reporters who dare not say anything in the audience, Carlisle confidently said several times in succession.

Even a relatively elegant person like Carlisle will get a strong sense of revenge when he wins when he is looked down upon by others.

To be honest, when Nowitzki and Barea were injured successively, and the morale and state of the team plummeted, even Carlisle himself had no idea about this game. If it weren't for Yiyang, Carlisle might be in a different mood now.

After that, Coach McMillan also praised Yiyang's excellent performance and relentlessly said that his players' performance on the defensive end tonight made him very dissatisfied.

McMillan also hopes to motivate his players in this way. After all, for the Trailblazers who are hovering on the edge of the playoffs, every loss in the game is quite fatal.

After the two coaches, Yiyang, who scored a career high of 30 points and scored 13 assists tonight, was also invited to the media reception room.

At this time Yiyang has changed his casual clothes. Most NBA players are either in suits or sportswear. But Yiyang, his dress style does not belong to the above two.

A blue down vest was approved for the loose pullover sweater, and a pair of Adidas casual running shoes were stepped on under the camouflage pants. As soon as Yiyang entered the arena, a strong street breeze rushed into his face.

Mourin raised the camera and pressed the shutter. This guy is a hero from the street.

At the press conference, the reporters did not ask Yiyang too many sharp questions, and Yiyang's answer was quite satisfactory, and the reporters did not grasp any handle. In terms of getting along with reporters, Yiyang has made considerable progress.

The next day, the scene of Aldridge hitting the hardwood floor with his dark face and hands was put on the front page of major websites and newspapers. No way, who made Yiyang's emotionally insufferable photos so that the reporters had nothing to take?

At least Aldridge is like this, but also allows people to see how unbearable he lost. If you put a photo of Yiyang's expressionless face on it, it would be impossible to highlight the subject.

On the way to work the next morning, Carlisle even saw some girls standing in front of the American Airlines Center Arena holding signs related to Yiyang. Perhaps these young girls hope that Yiyang will see them by chance and go down to interact with them.

If other rookies are so popular with women, Carlisle may be a little worried. After all, most of the private lives of NBA players are very messy. When faced with young girls who were sent for nothing, few men can control their lower body. And women are also one of the reasons why many NBA stars quickly degenerate.

But this kind of thing happened to Yiyang, but Carlisle was not worried at all. Maybe the Chinese are just shy. In short, Yiyang stays for training almost every day. For those enthusiastic female fans, it seems that there is not much reaction.

Of course Yiyang is not unresponsive to women, but this guy who can't even deal with a little girl, how can he deal with a passionate female fan?

When Carlisle walked into the training ground with the newspaper and breakfast, Yiyang had already started training inside.

"Morning." Carlisle greeted him skillfully. Two months later, Carlisle would not be surprised to see that Yiyang was the first to come to the training ground every day. If Yiyang is not the first one to come, maybe this coach will be surprised instead.

"Morning, coach." Yiyang nodded to Carlisle, and then quickly plunged into training.

"By the way, if someone calls for me later, you just say I'm in the office."

"Ah? Oh." Yiyang was at a loss. Don't any of the Mavericks players know that he is in the office?

After Carlisle walked into the office, Yiyang didn't think much, and started training on his own.

After a few minutes, the gate of the training ground was pushed open, and a big white man walked in. Yiyang thought it was Nowitzki~www.novelmtl.com~ but Yiyang took a closer look at this guy in a suit and leather shoes. I am not familiar with myself. And beside him was another older middle-aged man, it was the middle-aged man, Chao Yiyang walked over.

"Hello, may I ask Mr. Rick Carlisle for him..."

"He's in the office." Before others could finish asking, Yiyang pointed his finger at the office door, and then answered.

"Are you practicing three-pointers? Kid." The middle-aged man just wanted to leave after thanking him, but the big white man behind him walked up with interest.

"Hmm..." Yiyang felt that this strange face became more and more familiar to him, but for a while, he couldn't remember who this guy was.

"Maybe... maybe in the future, I can be with you. Believe me, your performance outside the three-point line will not stop here." The white man in a suit smiled and followed the middle-aged man. The man walked towards Carlisle's office.

When both of them disappeared on the training ground, Yiyang scratched his head and carefully searched for the name of the bearded man.

Suddenly, Yiyang's mouth grew wide, and he looked at the closed office door.

The guy just now is no one else, but Peja Stojakovic, one of the legendary European strikers and once the representative of the gorgeous king!

How could this guy appear in the training ground of the American Airlines Center Arena? Shouldn't he play in Toronto now?

Also, he said he could practice three-pointers with himself...Is it possible?

Yiyang swallowed. With the Mavericks in a state where the front line is in a hurry, Cuban, a boss who is eager for victory and willing to spend money, can't just sit back and watch.

Yiyang instantly understood that there might be another heavyweight teammate beside him.
