One Guard

　　 The first day of the fierce playoffs passed. On that day, there were a total of 4 NBA games, and almost every game was full of energy.

The Chicago Bulls, led by mvp candidate Derek Rose, defeated the Pacers as expected. Rose's all-around data of 39 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists made this 22-year-old guy happy.

People are eager for this one to become the next Michael Jordan belonging to Chicago. Judging from now, Chicago fans may not be disappointed.

On the same day, the Heat, with the Big Three, easily defeated the 76ers. Evan Turner's performance continued to decline, scoring only 2 points. But Yiyang, who was selected after him, scored a double-double.

In another game, "Warcraft" Howard, who scored 46 points and 19 rebounds, lost to the Atlanta Hawks in the absence of helpers. The loss of this game may make it more difficult for the Magic to renew Howard.

Of course, to talk about the most eye-catching game of the first game day, it had to be the battle between the Trail Blazers and the Mavericks.

Until the last minute before the end of the game, no one dared to predict who would be the final winner. The two sides fought very hard, the game was ups and downs, and suspense abounds. Aldridge's stable performance, Yiyang's perseverance in the first three quarters, and Nowitzki's 18-point miracle in the final quarter all made this game full of endless topics.

Of course, the most unique thing about this game is the war of words between the two sides at the press conference after the game. Although the two teams did not attend at the same time, the words of McMillan and Carlisle made the headlines of the major sports newspapers the next day.

"Nate McMillan: Losing to the Mavericks was just bad luck."

"Rick Carlisle: The Trail Blazers win it is an upset!"

The highly offensive language of these two coaches naturally made the entire series attract much attention.

So, the day after the game, when Mavericks assistant coach Stotts knocked on the door of Carlisle's office, he saw a very strange scene.

"Rick, what are you doing?" Carlisle's desk was full of newspapers, and Carlisle was reading one of them with relish.

"As you can see, read the newspaper." Carlisle didn't turn his head and continued to read the newspaper in his hand.

"You didn't have this habit before, buddy."

"You take a copy too? I just found out today that these newspapers are more exciting than novels! McMillan and I simply said a few words, and the reporters will be able to stretch out a whole page of text!" It turns out that this is why Carlisle is so keen on reading newspapers today. He never knew that reporters had such a powerful ability to supplement news.

In the writings of various newspaper reporters, Carlisle and McMillan have almost become a pair of unshakable enemies. But actually? There was no personal grievance between the two of them. They said those things just to win the victory.

"How are the players?" After reading the newspaper in his hand about the spat between himself and McMillan, Carlisle got up from behind his desk and walked to the French window where he could observe the training ground. While watching the players on the training ground, he talked with Stotts.

"They are all pretty good. The veterans who did not perform well in the last game have not been affected psychologically." Stotts, who stood beside Carlisle, replied.

"Also, how is his health?"

"The team doctor has thoroughly checked and there is no injury hazard. Hey, Rick, the words at the press conference yesterday are not your style." Stotts is still puzzled. After talking to Carlisle for these years, this guy can Never took the initiative to choke others. But yesterday, he actually made such a fierce response to McMillan's remarks.

"I just hope that the media can focus their attention on me, and then leave some room for the players. Especially Yi, he is just a rookie and is very susceptible to external factors. Now it seems that I am doing well. Carlisle finished speaking, turning his head and showing white teeth. Stortz shook his head. Sure enough, Carlisle, this guy, would never do something for no reason.

anger? No, Carlisle would never make a decision based on his emotions. Even if McMillan's words really made Carlisle angry, he wouldn't do it.

"Let's go buddy, we should also go to the training ground." As Stotts was thinking, Carlisle patted his assistant on the shoulder.

The two guys walked out of the office and only stayed with the players to truly understand the players' state at this time.

After yesterday's fierce battle, the Mavericks have two days to adjust, until April 19, the two sides will start the second game of the contest.

Due to ample time, the players' consumption was too great yesterday. So today, Carlisle did not arrange any high-intensity training. Everyone mainly does some restorative exercises. After noon, the players can move freely.

Although it is now during the playoffs, it stands to reason that the training should be tighter. But Carlisle didn't think so, and the nervous mood was detrimental to the game. Excessive training will cause players to perform abnormally on the court.

So after simply eating the nutritious lunch provided by the team, the players all left the arena, and it was enough to come and train on time the next morning.

Yiyang did not go home directly today, but went to Mudiay's house in person and handed over the playoff package to his "little" friend.

Originally, Yiyang wanted to send tickets to Mudiay from the beginning, but at that time, Mudiay was also playing in his own continental final, not in Dallas. Therefore, in order to make Mudiae feel at ease to prepare for the game, but also to allow Mudiae to receive the tickets in person. Yiyang chose to give the ticket to this guy who is very similar to him today.

Mudiay led the team to win the continental championship yesterday, and today he received such a perfect gift. This guy can't tell how happy he is.

Yiyang is also very happy, because compared to the Christmas meeting, Mudiay seems to have grown a lot taller, and he has also grown a lot stronger. Although the body is not the whole of basketball, it is definitely the foundation of the foundation.

Judging from the current growth rate of Moody's, in the future, Moody's will at least have a physique that can play professional basketball.

The Mudiays were naturally very enthusiastic to keep Yiyang to finish the meal, but Yiyang still tactfully refused. Because today, Mudiay’s house is not Yiyang’s last stop...

A big white monument was horizontally in front of Vignali. The girl took out her mobile phone and took a selfie with the monument. The monument is designed to be suspended up and down and surrounded by four sides. There is only a piece of black marble on the internal floor of the monument, and the name of former US President Kennedy is carved with gold on it.

That's right, the monument in front of Vignalie is the famous Kennedy Monument in Dallas. At this time, Vignali was waiting for the arrival of Yiyang in the crowded Kennedy Memorial Plaza.

When Yiyang saw Vignali, Vignali was dressed like an ordinary girl. Simple black t-shirt, ordinary skinny jeans. To say that the most distinctive place is that besides high heels, the girl wears most of the basketball shoes.

Today, Vignali just put on a faint makeup, long hair and shawl. Perhaps the only thing she used to hide her identity and face was a pair of large sunglasses.

"It's not good to let the lady wait every time." Vignali found Yiyang who was staring at her not far away, so she walked up generously.

Yiyang raised his hand and was about to say "Hi" to Vignali, however, he felt that two **** of meat suddenly pressed against him. Looking down, the Italian girl didn't say hello to Yiyang, but gave him a big hug directly and enthusiastically.

In the crowded Kennedy Memorial Plaza, the embrace of a man and a woman is not noticeable. What's more, no one could guess that celebrities like Yiyang and Vignali would go on a date in such a "down-to-earth" place.

The date was decided by Yiyang. He did not hesitate to report the name of the memorial square on the phone, because for Yiyang, who is training every day in addition to training, this is the only date he can think of in Dallas. location.

Now during the playoffs, Dallas naturally attracts many foreign tourists. And this square does not charge any tickets, it is famous and affordable, so there will always be a large number of people here.

But it is precisely because too many people come here to visit, so there is no connection between this place and "romance" at all. It might be okay to see from a distance, but when I approached, I found that it was all people, noisy and bustling. But the good thing is that in the crowd, no one will find out what the identity of the pair of men and women wearing sunglasses is. Yiyang and Vignali don't have to worry that they will be disturbed.

"I feel your heart beating, what are you nervous about?" Watching Yiyang's face turn red slightly, Vignali hugged her tighter.

"No, let's... let's go!"

The two walked around the square arm in arm, and Vignari was always easily attracted by the little things on the side of the road.

Buying an ice cream, or seeing a handicrafts stall, this Italian girl will go over and take a look in excitement.

Whenever Vignali left Yiyang, Yiyang always took out her mobile phone to take pictures everywhere.

Vignali couldn't believe that Yiyang had lived in Dallas for more than half a year. Seeing him taking pictures around, it was like a Chinese visiting Dallas for the first time.

The two chatted like this, while shopping arm in arm. Stop every now and then, and then move on again.

When the two walked to a place surrounded by crowds, they both stopped their steps.

Due to the start of the playoffs and the Mavericks' victory, the basketball atmosphere in the city of Dallas is also quite strong at this time.

And this place surrounded by crowds is exactly a street court with only half a court and a basketball hoop.

Inside the venue, the famous NBA star "Gloves" Gary Payton is hosting with a microphone. This seems to be a street basketball game sponsored by Sprite, and at this time, the game enters halftime. During the intermission performance, Payton was holding the microphone, preparing to choose a dunk guy from the crowd to perform for everyone.

Interacting with the audience on the sidelines is a very important part of the good basketball atmosphere in the United States. And the basketball talents of this place in the United States are Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, maybe among this group of audiences, there are really some guys who can perform beautiful dunks.

"Who can surprise me? You can come up! I can cooperate with you, but you must come up with a dunk that makes everyone's eyes shine!" Payton appeared here as a former NBA superstar, it must be very eye-catching. There are also many people who want to dunk in front of Payton and countless cameras, but not everyone has such courage.

"Yi, you go try it!" Vignali suddenly yelled in Yiyang's ear excitedly.

"Ah? I'll be recognized!" Yiyang waved his hand quickly.

Vignali looked around, borrowed a Mavericks baseball cap from a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy and put it on Yiyang's head.

"Baseball cap and sunglasses, they won't recognize you! Go, I want to see Payton's surprised expression!"

Before Yiyang could react, Vignali grabbed Yiyang's hand and held it high.

"Oh~www.novelmtl.com~ It seems that we have volunteers!" Payton saw the arm raised in the crowd, and when he said that, everyone's eyes focused on Yiyang.

"Come on, buddy! Now that you have raised your hand, don't be afraid!" Payton in the venue took the microphone and waved to Yiyang, and the people around started shouting and gave way for Yiyang.

"If I'm recognized, none of us want to leave this place." Yiyang shook his head, and then handed her mobile phone and other belongings to Vignali.

Under the yelling and pushing of everyone, a yellow-skinned "masked man" walked onto the court.

Vignali found that Yiyang's mobile phone screen was still on, and wanted to help him turn it off. But when the Italian girl saw the content on the still-exit album on Yiyang's phone, her smile froze.

It turned out that Yiyang held up his mobile phone to take pictures, not the scenery. The subject of Yiyang's shooting today is only one protagonist Valentina Vignali.

She wears sunglasses and looks around, she frowns and talks, she licks ice cream happily, she twiddles her hair, she smiles... Where is the view on the streets of Dallas? I can't find it, and there is no shadow of the city in a single photo. It's all her, in Yiyang's eyes, it's all her...

Looking at it, Vignari smiled, very happy. This cold boy had such a side.

"Can you do it? Dude." At the same time, Payton on the court began to draw the scene to mobilize the atmosphere, Yiyang is about to start dunking...
