One Guard

"You mean, Stojakovic is in the boss's office right now?" Nowitzki, who has already begun recovery training, pointed to the closed door and asked.

"Yeah." Yiyang nodded.

"That guy Mark moves really fast!" Nowitzki smiled, it seems that Cuban will really not let go of any players who are useful to the team this year.

"Stojakovic, isn't it just being traded to the Raptors by the Hornets?" Although Yiyang doesn't care much about the transfer news in the league, the transfer of Stojakovic in the past few weeks It still occupies the headlines of many sports news websites and newspapers, which makes Yiyang even want to ignore it.

"That's an old thing for you kid, the Raptors bought out Peja's contract yesterday. Now he appears in Dallas, he should be looking for his next home!" Nowitzki said about NBA business operations. The set is very clear. If nothing happens, the Mavericks' forward line can be replenished before the start of the All-Star Game. And Stojakovic's style of play is also very consistent with Carlisle's system of shooting as the main scoring method.

When Nowitzki and Yiyang were talking, the door of Carlisle's office was suddenly opened. After Stojakovic and his manager shook hands with Carlisle and Cuban, they quickly walked out of the training ground.

When passing by Nowitzki and Yiyang, the Serb smiled and nodded at them. Maybe in the future, they will really work together under the same roof?

When Stojakovic left, Carlisle patted his palm vigorously and blew the whistle around his neck.

"Get together, guys, let's start today's training!"

The training ground is busy again...

※※※

After playing for the first half of the season, Carlisle naturally has a new assessment of the current Mavericks lineup. But how to strengthen is a matter for Carlisle and Cuban. What players need to consider is how to play the game well on the court.

After defeating the Trail Blazers by a big score at home, the Mavericks' half-month devilish game has just begun.

After a day off, on January 6, the Mavericks ushered in a stronger opponent than the Trail Blazers, the old enemy Oklahoma City Thunder.

Nowitzki was injured in the last game against the Thunder. The Thunder players thought that the Mavericks without Dirk would be without threat. Then Yiyang used 25 points, 13 assists and 2 steals. The data led the Mavericks without Nowitzki to top the Thunder in the away game, allowing the team to achieve five consecutive victories as they wished.

Durant and Westbrook could not forget the shame ten days ago. Today, Dirk is still not there, and he can't play for a minute. Therefore, these two young people who are eager for revenge also bombarded the Mavericks' basket at the beginning.

Durant's performance is very brilliant, defending him is much harder than defending Aldridge. Whether it's Carlisle or Marion, they can't help this "monster" with the height and arm length.

Westbrook, like Durant, also hopes to use his excellent performance to win the team, not to mention that this No. 0 guard has deflated on Yiyang twice.

Durant played well, but Westbrook didn't show much performance. Yiyang's defense once again made the defender, who is a little too strong, play extremely low efficiency.

Durant took 22 shots and scored 28 points with a 50% shooting rate. Westbrook made 16 shots, but only hit 5 goals. Yiyang's hit rate was once again limited to about 30%, and the scoring number only stayed at 15.

It seems that the Thunder seem to be losing to Texas again. But at the last moment, relying on Durant's personal ability to frequently singles successfully, the Thunder gained a valuable 4-point lead and kept the advantage to the end.

99 to 95, the Thunder finally won a victory from the Mavericks. But in the absence of Nowitzki, the Thunder can still only win with difficulty.

Yiyang scored the second-highest 25 points in the game today, with 10 assists and 7 rebounds, almost hitting a triple-double. Although Yiyang made 0 of 2 shots from outside the three-point line today, his high shooting percentage of 12 of 17 still made Yiyang the focus of today's game.

The Mavericks missed the Thunder, but the fans were not angry. Yiyang once again blasted Westbrook, and if it wasn't for Durant's sudden attack at the last moment, who would be the final winner.

This may be the so-called glorious defeat.

After losing to the Thunder, the Mavericks' record became 27 wins and 8 losses. In the next game against the Magic, which had already won 8 consecutive victories, Carlisle did not have too many requirements for winning or losing. As long as Yiyang can continue to play, Carlisle will be very satisfied.

However, this flower-searching show once again gave Carlisle a surprise!

On January 8, the Mavericks continued to play at home against the Orlando Magic.

The Magic started the season with ups and downs, and Howard, the man who could change James alone, has also been questioned.

But the recent wave of the Magic’s 8-game winning streak has completely eliminated all doubts about Howard, and the Magic’s record has become an impressive 24 wins and 12 losses.

The Magic in the right state faced the Mavericks who lacked major generals. This seemed to be a duel without suspense.

However, Yiyang's almost omnipotent performance in the game made Howard, who dunked so softly, could only show a helpless smile.

Tonight, the Mavericks played a total of 10 players, of which 7 scored in double figures. Yiyang's career high of 15 assists has been able to reflect the game's picture.

This probing show on the court with continuous offensive passes, allowing the Mavericks to play an extremely smooth offense. The Mavericks have no offensive strength on the court, because everyone can be that offensive strength. Yiyang's unexpected passes tore the Magic's defense to pieces.

Yiyang had 23 points, 15 assists and 1 steal. DeShawn Stevenson scored 20 points, Terry 16 points, Kidd 13 points, "Boxing King" Tyson was also "feeding the cake" situation in Yiyang. Down, scored 11 points on Howard...

The state of the Magic is indeed not bad, Howard once again scored a large double-double of 20+10, Turkey organization forward Turkoglu's assists are also in double digits. But it's a pity that the Magic in excellent condition ran into a Mavericks in even better condition.

107 to 117, no one could have imagined that the Mavericks would have become the guy who prevented the Magic from continuing their winning streak, and still had such a huge difference of 10 points.

After the game, the reporter found the Magic coach Van Gundy, who was full of black lines. This fat guy just opened his hands.

"What can I say? Yi's performance is phenomenal. Don't tell me that in the future, he is already one of the best guards in the league."

Big Van Gundy is not talking pretty. Think about the rookies who can score 20+15 in NBA history. What kind of guys have they become afterwards? Van Gundy shook his head. This year's Magic is really unlucky...

Yiyang's outstanding performance allowed the Mavericks to unexpectedly win the magic of blocking and killing people for nearly half a month. How unexpected was this victory? Even Carlisle admitted frankly that this was not a planned victory.

The victory of this game also completely let go of the boulder in Carlisle's heart.

Breaking the Magic means that the Mavericks only need to play one more game from Nowitzki. Regardless of whether the game against the Pacers was lost or won, the Mavericks have successfully avoided the expected losing streak.

I thought that after defeating the Cavaliers, the Mavericks' worst result in the next few games would be a series of losing streaks.

However, under the explosive performance of Yiyang, facing the Blazers, Thunder and Magic three strong teams, the Mavericks unexpectedly won two of the games.

Yiyang's outstanding performance has become a topic of the entire league. The day after the victory over the Magic, Carlisle was surrounded by reporters during the opening hours of the media during training.

Because reporters know that there is nothing to interview Yiyang, only by starting with people around Yiyang, can it be possible to get news of that Chinese rookie.

"Excuse me, Mr. Carlisle, are the rumors about the team's contact with Stojakovic true?"

"Peja is a good player, we are indeed actively approaching him, but the current situation is nothing more than that." Carlisle expertly dealt with the reporters by the training ground.

"Is Dirk's injury recovery going smoothly?" The second question is still painless.

"Very smoothly. He will return as planned in our away game against the Grizzlies on January 15. Thank you for your concern." Carlisle kept smiling, but the next question made Carlisle's expression solidify. Up.

"Hello, Mr. Coach, we all know that many NBA teams are showing great interest in it. The Mavericks are undoubtedly a team competing for the championship this season. If a team uses experience With a wealth of star players as the bargaining chip, would you choose to trade Yiyang, a rookie with no playoff experience? Or, Yiyang is one of the Mavericks’ not-for-sale products?” As soon as the question came out, the reporters immediately Coming hard, he desperately stretched the microphone to the mouth of the academic coach.

Regarding the recent popular figures, his every move and any information about him can attract the attention of the public. Therefore, reporters are also very concerned about how Carlisle answers this question about Yiyang.

"Not for sale? I have never said that it is also not for sale." However, Carlisle's answer caused the reporters to grow their mouths one by one! Everyone is overjoyed, maybe they can really take away a big news today?

Is it because the generals are at odds? You know, Carlisle is a stubborn academic coach, which also means that it is almost impossible for him to give Yiyang, the point guard, too many opportunities to play freely. All tactics must be executed according to his arrangement. But reporters who are familiar with Yiyang know that when the Huaxiu show played the NCAA, there was a strong street style. UU reading www.uukānshu.com can say that playing has his own style and personality. These two guys are obviously very difficult to be compatible. Is it because of this that Carlisle and Yiyang have broken up?

"As long as the chips are right, I don't deny that other teams can also take away from Dallas." Carlisle continued to add, but his smile returned to his face. Since these reporters want to dig a hole for themselves, let him dig a hole for these reporters too!

"Then Mr. Carlisle, what kind of bargaining chip is the right one?" The reporters were all very excited, and this trip was finally not in vain!

"Maybe... two LeBron James? Or, package Kobe Bryant and Paul Gasol with Bynum, I might think about it."

When Carlisle finished speaking, the reporters were stunned. What is this bargaining chip? This is simply another way to say that Yiyang is not for sale!

"Hahaha, Mr. Carlisle, are you kidding me." The reporter who asked the question smiled awkwardly, but he didn't expect that he would be fooled by the coach in the end.

"No, I’m very serious. It’s worth the price. Whoever can come up with such a chip, Mr. Cuban and I will let him leave the American Airlines Center Arena. But if you can’t come up with such a chip, everyone Don't waste time. This is the attitude of the Mavericks towards Yi!"

After Carlisle finished speaking, he turned and returned to the training ground, leaving only a group of reporters stupefied.

Nowitzki, who listened to all of this, laughed from ear to ear, and there are things that can't be measured by a bargaining chip.

At least now the Germans can rest assured, at least Yiyang will no longer be like Kidd and Nash at the beginning, and will eventually be just a passerby for the Mavericks.

Only this kid can carry the future of Dallas!
