One Guard

Seeing Yiyang running wild on the training ground, Nowitzki can clearly feel it. Recently, Yiyang's playing has always revealed a fierce energy.

On weekdays, the taciturn guy's style of playing on the court seems to be as tepid as his character. But recently, he has been playing very hard.

Take the game against the Eagles against the Mavericks on January 29, for example, Yiyang dunked a total of 4 times on the head of Mike Bibby, a veteran, and dunked 4 times in a game. This is a match for Yiyang's playing style As far as the defender is concerned, it's really rare.

Usually, Yiyang is determined not to dunk if he can make a layup. And this is why people often ignore his jumping ability. But that day, it was obvious that Yiyang wanted to show himself very much. His dunk also made the fans in the American Airlines Center Arena scream. It's just that Bibby is pitiful, and the veteran can only make a wry smile every time Yiyang completes a dunk.

Nowitzki shook his head. It turns out that this guy is not a robot either. Being selected for the All-Star team definitely brought him a lot of pressure. You don't need to ask to know how much the outside world is skeptical about this. And Yiyang's way to release pressure is to completely ignite himself on the basketball court.

Actually Nowitzki didn't know that there was another reason why Yiyang played so actively recently. It was January 31st, and he was about to face an "old friend" who would never lose to the other side. Yiyang didn't want to have a problem with his state on that day.

"Dirk! What are you in a daze!?" Carlisle's roar from the sidelines made the German come back to his senses. He smiled apologetically, then picked up the basketball on the ground to continue warming up.

Speaking of training, a brand new face appeared on the Mavericks training ground today.

Peja Stojakovic, when the legendary shooter met Yiyang again this morning, he no longer had a suit and leather shoes, but put on the Mavericks training uniform.

In order to get into the form quickly and adapt to the field, Peja is the first player to come today besides Yiyang. Before the training officially began, Peja also enthusiastically accompany Yiyang to practice three-pointers.

Carlisle believed in Yiyang's learning ability, and many of Kidd's abilities have now been learned by that Tanhuaxiu. So Carlisle also believes that the arrival of Peja, a legendary shooter, will also benefit Yiyang a lot.

"Your shot speed is still too slow. In college, it may be useful to take such a steady shot. But in the NBA..." Peja Chong Yiyang said, shaking his finger. "Slow shots will make you easily interfered by the opponent. This is why you are very accurate on the training field, but not very accurate on the field. On the training field, no one will interfere with you."

Although it was only the first day of joining the team, Peja, who has worked so hard in the league for so many years, quickly became one with the players. Even Yiyang's "smelly and hard stone" is now obediently listening to Peja telling himself the three-pointers.

The team has recently won four consecutive victories, and the players still look good today. Carlisle nodded with satisfaction, hoping that the game against the Wizards would not have any surprises.

During the training gap, it was the media opening time required by the NBA official mandatory requirements. The media burst out all at once, and most of the reporters' goals are Yiyang!

"Also, are you surprised to be selected for the Western Conference All-Star team?"

"Do you think your ability is qualified to be an All-Star!?"

"Will being selected for the All-Star team increase your pressure or motivation?"

Although Yiyang is not the only one selected for the All-Stars in the Mavericks this year, in the eyes of reporters, Nowitzki's selection is nothing news at all. Ke Yiyang, a rookie from China was selected to the All-Star team in the strong West in the first year. This topicality is not comparable to Nowitzki.

In 2003, Yao Ming, who had just entered the league, overpowered O'Neal to become the starting center of the Western Conference All-Star team. It was the first time that this alliance was made aware of the terrible Chinese market.

But this year, although Yiyang did not exaggerate to directly enter the starting lineup. But a Chinese defender can achieve such an achievement, and its shock is not bad compared to Yao Ming's selection of the All-Star starter.

The reporters looked at Yiyang with anticipation, hoping that this guy could say a few more words. However, Yiyang remained the same, talking about everything in just a few seconds.

"I am very happy to be selected as an All-Star. That was my childhood dream."

Seeing Yiyang's expressionless answer, Peja on the side almost couldn't hold back a laugh. This extremely official response must have been taught by his manager. That Chinese rookie is really interesting.

"Of course I am eligible to be selected for the All-Star team! You ask me why Wall was not selected for the Eastern Stars team? Do you still have to ask? Because ours is also stronger!" Yiyang did not leave the reporters with anything worth digging. , But here at Big Mouth Buttery, the reporters finally got some rewards.

Terry's appearance in front of reporters made it as if Yiyang was trained by him. In fact, this guy Terry was only happy for Yiyang, but he habitually showed his unruly appearance.

"This kid is very talented. In a few years, you will see him become an All-Star starter." Peja, who joined the Mavericks on the first day, was not spared and was surrounded by reporters. But the veteran's evaluation of Yiyang came from the heart.

During the entire media opening hours, reporters talked about Yiyang. This rookie seems to have become the most newsworthy player of the Dallas Mavericks.

Yiyang was selected for the All-Star, just in time for the Mavericks to face the Wizards. No wonder the reporters are so excited, this is simply a way to make money that God pointed out to them.

But when Carlisle was pleased, after the reporters left, Yiyang, who became a topical figure, did not float away, but quickly entered a state of serious training.

What news value, what all-star lineup... these things seem to be unimportant to Yiyang. He only cares about the game now, the game with the "old friend".

※※※

On January 31, showers, outside the Dallas American Airlines Center Arena.

Although Tiangong is not beautiful, it can't stop the Mavericks fans from coming to watch the game. Colorful umbrellas form a long line in front of the entrances of the stadium. Even if the heavy rain drifts, it can't extinguish the enthusiasm of the Mavericks fans.

When queuing outside the stadium, reporters found that many fans were holding signs with the word "All-Star." And under the word All-Star, the number "1" is written.

Perhaps the outside world is more skeptical about Yiyang's selection to the Western Conference All-Star team, but in the hearts of Dallas fans, there is only joy!

This is just an ordinary regular season. The Mavericks, one of the league's best teams, face the Wizards of one of the league's worst teams. Perhaps for other fans, this is a nothing special game, whether to watch it or not. But for the fans on both sides of the competition, this is a crucial game!

Although in China, the hottest topic is "Chinese Derby". Because the Wizards have Chinese player Yi Jianlian, and the Mavericks have Yiyang.

But in fact, everyone knows that Yi Jianlian has lost his position in the Wizards. Whether he will play today will be another question, let alone a Chinese derby.

The real attraction of this game is the two young defenders, Yiyang and Wall!

The home team's locker room was quiet. The players are seizing the time to replace clean jerseys. Carlisle writes and draws in front of the tactical board, watching his players do it in an orderly manner.

After everyone changed their equipment, Carlisle also told the players tactics for the last time. In fact, there is nothing special about playing the Wizards~www.novelmtl.com~ The Wizards offense is very messy, most of them are fighting on their own, and they may be messed up without Carlisle doing anything.

But because of Yiyang's relationship, Carlisle's emphasis on this game is also very different. Everyone hopes Yiyang can win, including his teammates and coach.

After talking about the tactics, Yiyang was the first to get up and leave the locker room, and began to warm up on the court.

Coincidentally, Wall is also the first player on the Wizards side to come out to warm up. Yiyang shot the basket on his own, but Wall took the initiative to come over and talk to Yiyang.

"Hey, congratulations, for being selected to the All-Star team!" Wall smiled. This party looked more friendly than the media who questioned Yiyang.

"Um...Thank you." Yiyang didn't know how to respond for a while, his expression was very stiff.

"Haha, I didn't expect it. When I played against you in high school, I knew you were not easy. In the summer league, you won a round. Now, we met again in the NBA. Actually, I too. I don’t care about the content of those reporters’ hype. I’m not jealous of you being selected to the All-Star team before me. basketball. "I just want to have a good fight with you, nothing can explain the problem better than victory!"

"Like the summer league, I will win again." After listening to this, Yiyang did not remain silent. He thought of the defeat in high school and the victory in the summer league. Now, he finally has the opportunity to defeat the nation's No. 1 high school guard in the NBA's official game in front of everyone.

"Let's see, man." With a friendly smile, Wall turned and returned to his own half.

This rainy night is destined not to be spent peacefully.
