One Guard

　　 The nba playoffs have slowly hit, and the participating teams and fans are ready to enter the bloodiest and most brutal arena.

Stevens, who ended his March Crazy Work, took his wife and children on the plane to Dallas. At this time, Stevens had an envelope in the inner bag of his suit. This envelope is sent by Yiyang. Inside, there are several sets of tickets for the Mavericks playoffs.

As the coach who introduced Yiyang into the field of professional basketball, Stevens naturally hopes to see his proud protégé in the nba playoffs. And Yiyang also hopes that his mentor can personally witness his growth.

Of course, Gordon Hayward also received the ticket from Yiyang. Although Hayward's Jazz failed to make the playoffs, this did not affect Hayward's enthusiasm for the playoffs. Because his best friend is about to fight in that arena.

But for the current Yiyang, there are more important people. There is also a professional basketball player who has also been invited by Yiyang.

"Is the Italian league all over?" During the training break, Yiyang picked up the phone and dialed the number that he had played more and more since the All-Star game.

?? Vignali knew what Yiyang was going to do, but she deliberately didn't answer immediately, but instead asked Yiyang "Is there anything wrong?"

This girl, hope Yiyang personally invites herself.

? "Well... I want you to watch my game. The nba playoffs, you know... the playoffs are usually, usually more exciting." Although the courage and Vig were plucked up at the airport last time Nari kissed each other, but Yiyang realized that she would still be embarrassed to talk to her now.

"The day after tomorrow, I should be in Dallas."

"Dallas!?" Yiyang yelled in surprise, attracting the attention of several teammates.

"I bought a ticket to Dallas a long time ago. How could I miss your game?" The **** the other end of the phone smiled, like a queen who had won "victory". Although I had prepared for it, at least this time, Yiyang took the initiative to invite her to go.

"Hey, thank you very much for coming." Yiyang felt very grateful when she heard what Vignali said. The feeling of being paid attention to all the time is an experience that Yiyang has never had in the first 20 years of his life.

"Also, let me ask you a question."

"What's the problem?" Yiyang thought that Vignali asked about the game.

"Do you miss me?"

?Yiyang will never cope with Vignali's open and hot personality. He was a little shy, his face flushed. "What should I say...I..."

"Hahahaha, okay, I get it. You go to train, I don't want to go to Dallas to see you get beaten."

"You can't say something good."

"If it's good, I want to say in your ear..."

When Yiyang returned to the basketball court after making the phone call, people found that this guy who was just normal was flushed now.

You don't need to ask to know that Yiyang must have been on the phone with his girlfriend.

"Look at how good you are, where someone would blush on the phone with a girlfriend." Seeing this, Terry started to catch Yiyang again.

"I just...too hot!" Yiyang said, taking off his training jersey.

"Okay, put on your clothes, I don't want to have intimate contact with your wet body later." Kidd also joined Terry's camp this time. Of course, he really doesn't like being with his upper body. People playing ball.

This episode of training proves that the Mavericks players are still relatively relaxed. What Carlisle hopes to see is this result. If everyone's nerves are tense now, the string will break sooner or later.

The pressure of public opinion on the Mavericks may be the greatest of all teams participating in the playoffs. They rank third in the Western Conference, but they are regarded as a "weak team" by everyone. No way, who makes the Mavericks' performance in the playoffs unsatisfactory? In the face of heavy pressure, if the Mavericks players don't know how to adjust, it can be very troublesome.

The two-day truce passed quickly. With training in the morning, middle and evening, everyone had a very fulfilling life. Carlisle also made sure that this group of guys had no other strength to go to the field besides playing games. Troublesome troubles.

The time has finally come to April 16. Tonight, the Mavericks will host the Portland Trail Blazers to start their playoff journey.

At eight o'clock in the morning, Yiyang was awakened by the ticking rain outside the window.

Dallas is not a city with a lot of rain. Today's hot game has attracted many fans, but unfortunately, the heavens are not beautiful. I wonder if this heavy rain will extinguish the heat of the game?

"Yiyang, breakfast is ready!" Wen Xue's voice came to Yiyang's ears on time, and Yiyang walked to the living room, where milk, eggs and two pieces of bread were already on the table.

"How are the preparations for the game?" Wen Xue asked with concern when Yiyang sat down. She knows that today is a big day for her son!

"Very good, I will play in today's game." Yiyang turned on the TV while eating breakfast.

"really?"

"Well, Coach Carlisle has already decided." Yiyang nodded slightly.

At this time, sports news on TV is also broadcasting news related to today's game. Seeing this, Yiyang picked up the remote control and increased the volume of the TV.

A host in a suit and leather shoes sat in front of the stage and began to read the information in his hand.

"During the regular season this season, the Mavericks have played against the Trail Blazers three times. The record is 3-0 and the Mavericks have never missed. But we all know that the playoffs are completely different from the regular season. The regular season, everyone is the same. Flying around by plane, opponents are constantly changing, so there will not be too many targeted studies. And the playoffs are 7 games of 4 wins, and the same opponents continue to fight against each other. Naturally, there will be a large number of games in the playoffs. In this way, the team’s weaknesses will be revealed in various data videos. The strengths and weaknesses of the team’s star will also be infinitely magnified. Therefore, the regular season’s engagement record can only be used as a reference. It cannot be used as a basis for predicting the outcome of this round of the series."

Hearing this, Yiyang turned off the TV. Sure enough, almost no one is optimistic about the Mavericks prospects. In the regular season, the Mavericks are indeed great, there is no doubt about this. But when it comes to the playoffs, they are two completely different concepts.

"Hey, don't pay attention to what they say. You and your teammates are not playing for them." Although Wen Xue doesn't usually ask Yiyang Studio more than anything, Wen Xue has reported on the Mavericks in the past few days. Look, most of the media have not very good comments on the Mavericks. As a result, this mother is also rare to cheer up Yiyang once.

"Don't worry, mom, I won't be affected by these sounds." Yiyang held his mother's hand, and then gave her a confident smile.

After eating breakfast, under heavy rain, Yiyang drove his heavy pickup to the entrance of the American Airlines Center Arena. At this time, huge posters of players have been hung around the arena. The posters of Nowitzki, Yiyang, and Kidd are hung on the front, which also illustrates Kuban’s expectations of these three people from the side.

Although it is still very early to the start of the game, the entrance to the US Airline Center has been surrounded by fans. The fans stood in front of the stadium and sang loudly, and the colorful umbrellas were made together, which looked very spectacular.

Yeah, now, it's really only Dallas people who believe in themselves.

The atmosphere of today’s dressing room is different from weekdays. There is less joking and more seriousness.

Nowitzki has been frowning since entering the door, and Terry, the pistachio, did not joking with anyone today.

This serious atmosphere undoubtedly created a strong smell of gunpowder in the air. A few days ago, the players were relatively relaxed, but now, as the playoffs are about to start today, no one will hang around anymore.

In the morning, Carlisle took the players to study tactics, and then did some warm-up training.

In the afternoon, the players receive a massage to relax their bodies, and then take shots from time to time to find the feel.

Two hours before the start of the game, fans had slowly poured into the stadium, and the Portland Trail Blazers team bus also arrived at the US Airline Center Arena. Mavericks owner Mark Cuban pushed open the locker room door before the players entered the field.

The boss's face is as serious as the players, as if later, he is also a member of the game.

"Guys, are you ready!? The Blazers are here!" Cuban squeezed his fist and waved in the air.

"Ready, we can't wait!" Nowitzki stepped forward and gave Cuban a hug.

"Listen, everyone thought we were good bullies in the playoffs! But this year, we want to show them that the Dallas Mavericks are not the background board!"

"Roar!" After Cuban finished speaking loudly, the players responded with a roar. Now Yiyang feels that he is not in the Mavericks locker room, but in the barracks. And soon, this "army" will go out to fight a war where either you die or I die!

"Are you ready, Cowboys! Are you ready!" Nowitzki changed from his usual calm appearance, and angered his teammates one by one in the locker room and gave them high-fives.

In the past, Terry and Kidd told Yiyang that Dirk would sometimes be angry. He was furious in the locker room when he was hacked by the Warriors before and kicked the locker of Oracle Arena. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

When I heard this, Yiyang didn't believe it. Because in the regular season, you always feel that Nowitzki is very peaceful, unlike the kind of person who bursts out fierce emotions. But now, looking at the "German chariot" that started the engine, Yiyang was convinced.

"Are you ready!? Cowboy!" Finally, Nowitzki walked to Yiyang and reached out to give Yiyang a high-five.

"Ready!" Yiyang was also infected by this atmosphere. This time, his response was no longer cold, but sonorous!

"Let's go! Let's go! Let them see and see, whose site is this!"

Nowitzki took the lead and walked out of the locker room with a group of yelling "bandits".

In the dressing room, only Carlisle, Stotts and Cuban were left.

"Are they too excited?" Cuban looked at the string of figures disappearing from the exit of the player's passage, and smiled with his arms akimbo.

"They will burn the enemy, but they will never hurt themselves." Carlisle looked calmer than the players. This is also the difference between the coach and the players when facing the game.

"Win together, Rick."

"They can win, man, they can win..." Carlisle finished speaking and walked out of the locker room.

As soon as he opened the locker room door, even if he was still in the player tunnel, Carlisle heard cheers on the court.

It must be the heroes of Dallas, just debuted. 8)
