One Guard

On April 19, when the Mavericks had another victory at home. The battlefield of the series will be moved to Portland and to the Rose Garden.

There is not much time left for the players to breathe. On April 20, the officials gave the players of both sides a day of flight and rest. On April 21, the two sides must play again and give a wonderful performance to the fans.

Therefore, in the morning after the end of the game, Yiyang said goodbye to his mother and friends and boarded the plane to Portland early.

It doesn't take much time to get from Dallas to Portland, but the players take a break after getting off the plane, and they will start non-stop training in the afternoon.

Although after playing two games, both sides are very familiar with each other. But it is precisely because they are familiar with them and proper training can make the players perform better on the court.

As soon as Carlisle took the players off the plane, the cell phone in his pocket rang without warning.

The academy coach took out his cell phone and took a look. It was not someone else who called, but his boss, Mark Cuban.

Carlisle is a little confused, what can Cuban do if he calls him at this time? But in doubt, Carlisle got on the phone.

"Rick! Man, have you landed safely!?" Cuban's voice sounded a little excited.

"Of course, there is no problem with the plane you bought." The planes the Mavericks players took were not ordinary flights, but the private planes Cuban bought for the players' comfort and free departure. It is not common to buy private jets for players to use even in money stacks like NBA. What's more, Cuban bought large passenger planes like Boeing 757.

"I know, of course, there will be no problems with the plane I bought. I mean... at four o'clock this afternoon, when you are training, I need you to arrange a press conference for you."

"Oh? Can you tell me why?"

"Hey, what do you need to say?..."

The city of Portland gives Yiyang a feeling of beauty.

Unlike the beauty of the modern metropolis of Dallas, the beauty of Portland is more of a natural beauty.

Portland is of course also a big city, but in the case of the Great Northwest and Canada to the north, Portland is more like an unknown "small village".

Looking out the window on the team bus, Yiyang can see green trees. The fallen leaves fell all over the ground, seeming to paved a green avenue for the city.

The bus crossed the St. John's Bridge, and the water of the Willamette Valley was like a huge mirror, containing the sky in it.

The perfect combination of reinforced jungle and natural scenery, in Yiyang's view, only Portland can be worthy of such a reputation.

If you are visiting Portland, you will definitely be quite happy. It's a pity that Yiyang didn't come to Portland as a tourist. He came here to fight a war!

The beauty of the moment has nothing to do with Yiyang's life in the next few days. Rose Garden Stadium, hotel, Rose Garden Stadium... these two places are the only places Yiyang will visit in the next few days.

Therefore, after enjoying the beauty of Portland, Yiyang did not feel more comfortable. Unless the victory is taken away in Portland, even the beautiful scenery cannot relax Yiyang.

After arriving at the hotel where I was staying, the entrance of the hotel had been surrounded by reporters. But the hotel security still held hands to build a human wall, to force a way for the players.

Carlisle was the first to get off the bus. From that moment on, the camera's "click" shutter sound and continuous flashes never stopped.

The reporters asked a lot of questions. Of course, few people had the time to answer their questions in this place. Most of the Mavericks players smiled and waved at the reporters, but most of them, like Yiyang, stepped directly into the hotel without expression.

"Coach Carlisle, may the Mavericks just officially announced that you will be holding a press conference at 4 this afternoon. What are you going to announce?" But a reporter's loud question caused both Carlisle and Yiyang to stop. pace.

Yiyang froze for a moment, and held a press conference for himself? Why don't you know?

"As for the content of the press conference, you will know at that time, and I welcome everyone to come together. Now, please let me and my players take a break. You know, long-distance travel is not easy for anyone." After Carlisle had dealt with the reporter, he pulled Yiyang and walked into the hotel.

The security guard closed the door of the hotel, and the noisy sound was also locked out of the door.

"Why hold a press conference for me?" This time, the one who asked Carlisle became Yiyang.

"Hey, listen to me. Take a good rest later and train well this afternoon. When the press conference is held, you will know everything." Carlisle smiled and patted Yiyang on the shoulder, and Yiyang spread out Hand, did not ask any more.

When training in the afternoon, Yiyang always felt that his teammates would gather to discuss themselves from time to time. From time to time, there are still a few people who smile inexplicably at Yiyang.

"Hey, Jason, what happened to everyone today?" Yiyang asked Kidd who was sitting on the sidelines to rest while shooting.

"You'll know later, man, you'll know later." Unexpectedly, even Kidd was secretive.

In this way, Yiyang trained for an afternoon under the circumstances full of mystery.

At four o'clock, Yiyang walked into the media reception room under the leadership of the Mavericks chief press officer.

At this point, it was full of reporters. On the stage, Carlisle, Kidd, Nowitzki and Terry were already seated.

In front of Carlisle, Yiyang saw a small bronze trophy. This trophy is the appearance of a player shooting, but Yiyang can't remember exactly what the prize is.

"Is it impossible..." Just when Yiyang just realized what was going on, Carlisle picked up the trophy and walked to Yiyang.

"On behalf of the NBA and the Mavericks, I officially announce to you that after 117 sports reporters and TV commentators from the United States and Canada voted. Also, I was elected the best sixth man of the 2010-2011 season!" Carlisle finished, will The trophy was handed to Yiyang, who was stunned in place. "That guy in Cuban said he wanted to give you a surprise, so we didn't tell you! Take it, it's your honor!"

Yiyang stared at the small copper cup in front of him, and was fascinated. On the large base of the trophy, his name was indeed engraved. And this is the first time that a Chinese name has been engraved on this trophy.

"What are you waiting for?" Carlisle reminded softly, and Yiyang stiffly took the trophy from Carlisle.

Suddenly, the audience became a vast expanse of whiteness. Under the shining of countless flashes, this trophy seems to really sparkle.

"Hey, congratulations, man!" After that, the players waiting for Yiyang in the media reception room all stepped forward to hug their Chinese teammates.

No wonder these guys look so strange in their eyes today, it turns out they knew it a long time ago...

"Also, what do you think of winning the honor of the best sixth man in the rookie season?" Below, the reporters have long been unable to bear it.

"I...I am very excited. I have to thank my teammates and fans. Without their help, I would not have won such a trophy." Yiyang has played basketball for so many years, the only personal honor that Yiyang has ever won. It is the ncaa semi-finals mop. But at the time when they won the ncaa championship at the same time, a mop didn't seem to be very exciting, it was more like an accessory after winning the championship.

But now, when a personal honor appeared before his eyes without warning, Yiyang was more excited than he thought.

As a rookie this season, Yiyang played all 82 games without being bothered by injuries. And throughout the season, he only started a few times. Although his playing time is longer than that of the starter Kidd, it also meets the criterion of the number of substitute appearances than the number of starts.

Odom, ranked second on the best sixth-man voting list, averaged 14.4 points, 8.7 rebounds and 3 assists per game this season. Although Odom ranked second, this data is completely incomparable with Yiyang. Elected as the best sixth person, Yiyang naturally deserves his name.

After the press conference, the reporters saw Yiyang answer everyone's questions with a smile for the first time.

While answering questions from reporters, the Yiyang Association on the stage glanced at his trophy from time to time and confirmed that his name was engraved on the trophy. Up to now, Yiyang still can't believe that he is the best sixth person!

From the problematic teenager who went astray on the street and didn't know the direction of his life, to the best sixth man in the NBA~www.novelmtl.com~Yiyang did it all in only two years. But these two years have been fantastic two years. It is precisely because of the great changes in his own life in a short period of time that Yiyang has an incredible feeling.

At the end of the press conference, Yiyang will hold the trophy and take a photo with the teammates who came to the press conference.

Yiyang stood with his coach and teammates, and everyone had a smile on their faces. In the fierce playoffs, this is undoubtedly a great encouragement to the Mavericks.

The flash is a masterpiece, and Yiyang stands in the center with the golden cup high. At this moment, he is the focus of everyone's attention.

Carlisle knew that in the past season, Yiyang had already received the honor he deserved. But in the future...and will continue to belong to him.

The best sixth man? This will only become the tip of the iceberg of personal honor in Yiyang's career.
