One Guard

A genius remembers the address of this site in one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! Last season, the Mavericks became a hero in the hearts of countless fans. "The poor overthrow the landlord and sing", what a perfect script, what a dream experience. But just two days after the start of the new season, the Dallas Mavericks have become the laughing stock of the world.

"The Dallas Mavericks lost two games in a row, although we can clearly see the huge improvement. However, the overall strength of the Mavericks has declined, but it is also an indisputable fact."

"It's not just a question of strength. I even heard some discordant voices in the Mavericks locker room. I heard that after yesterday's game with the Nuggets, Odom and Ye also had some quarrels. Last season was the same. He was born and took away Lamar Odom’s best sixth man trophy. The two guys may not be as friendly as we thought. Last season, Odom was not in the playoffs. Be less targeted. Now that he is a teammate, Lamar may not plan to let go of the past."

"The next game will face the mighty Oklahoma City Thunder, and the split Dallas Mavericks may be extremely rare. You know, the Thunder, which lost to the Mavericks in the Western Conference Finals, are also eager for revenge. Oklahoma City The lads of Homer, may not be able to sleep now, all they are thinking about are how to tear the Mavericks to pieces!"

"Hahahaha, the flavor of Dallas veal is still very delicious."

Vignali turned off the TV. He couldn't bear the cynicism of the two hosts on the Mavericks. Competitive sports is so cruel. When you succeed, everyone will follow you behind your **** and praise you. But once it fails, those former praises will become more vicious insults.

It's been the third day since the start of the new NBA season, but Yiyang didn't even call Vignali. After the game last night, there was even news that Yiyang and Odom had an argument in the locker room. The loss of the game and these discordant gossip made Vignali very worried about Yiyang's current state. Not only the state of the game, but more importantly, the boy's mental state.

Thinking that Yiyang must be very upset now, Vignali couldn't help but dialed the Chinese boy's phone. At first, she was afraid to disturb Yiyang, so Yiyang didn't contact her, nor did she call Yiyang. But after seeing so much negative news, Vignari could no longer suppress the eagerness to care about Yiyang.

To Vignali's surprise, the call was quickly connected. Fortunately, Yiyang didn't shut it down directly because of these recent incidents.

"Sorry, I was so busy after the start of the new season that I didn't even call you. I heard that you and Lazio have won two consecutive victories. Congratulations." On the phone, Yiyang's voice was very calm. But this guy is like this, you can never hear the true emotions in his heart from his expression or voice.

"Also, how are you... okay lately?"

Yiyang paused, then sighed. "Actually, not very good."

"I read the news and said that you had a quarrel with Lamar Odom? Is this true?" As a professional basketball player, Vignali knows very well that the contradiction in the dressing room is better than that on the court. The lack of strength is even more terrifying.

The lack of strength can be compensated by hard work and diligent training on the court. But the contradiction in the dressing room involves complicated interpersonal relationships and chemical reactions.

"Well, I broke his locker, and then he quarreled a few words with me." Yiyang said lightly on the phone, but his fists were already clenched unconsciously.

Yesterday, Odom returned to the locker room and found that his locker was smashed. He yelled in the locker room and asked everyone who did it.

Yiyang stood up unwillingly, after he smashed the locker, he didn't want to escape. Although the two did not get started, they still cursed each other. Although under Carlisle's timely intervention, Yiyang apologized to Odom, and Odom also said sorry to the team for his poor performance. But once a crack appears, it is difficult to sew it again.

"Everyone is teammates, and we will talk well in the future. It's okay, don't worry about it. It's normal for the boys to be together and squabbling. Don't affect your state. Tomorrow's game against Oklahoma City Thunder , I will cheer for you at home!"

Hearing Vignali cheering herself up, Yiyang felt both warm and disappointed.

I feel warm because this girl's thoughtfulness has made Yiyang feel warm in this cold season. Feeling disappointed is that I hate that I am already a professional player. In the end, you still want others to worry about yourself. Yiyang immediately decided that this matter must be completely resolved! Moreover, you have to take the initiative to solve it!

"I see, Vignali. Don't worry, I won't keep losing like this. I have to go to training and I have time to call you."

"Well, come on! You are the defending champions!"

After hanging up the phone, Yiyang, who was sitting on the side of the training court, stood up and walked straight to Carlisle's office.

If he were in high school, Yiyang might have a fight with Odom directly. But now, he must use a more rational method to solve the problem.

Yiyang knows exactly what kind of person Odom is and what kind of mentality he plays. Therefore, he must make this request to Carlisle-to reduce or even clear Odom's playing time!

Even in those brilliant seasons in Los Angeles, Odom didn't see him 100% devoted to playing, and occasionally he took his wife to a reality show or something. But in a metropolis like Los Angeles, for players like Odom, in addition to joining a strong team and winning the championship, the more important thing is that the city can provide him with a place to make money and win fame and fortune. So you can see that after Odom married Kardashian, he not only got a good deal in the NBA, but also gained a place in the entertainment industry and other fields. So in Los Angeles, Odom, whether the team wins or loses, is generally a happy Odom.

And Dallas, although it is not a place where birds don’t shit, but compared to the glittering Los Angeles, even if you are the defending champion, even if Cuban is willing to give everything for you, in Odom’s heart, he always thinks it is. It's a little bit.

When the Lakers could put him on the shelf for Chris Paul, when the Lakers threw him to Dallas, which is a thousand miles away from Los Angeles, just for a 9 million trade exception. Odom couldn't figure out why the Lakers would abandon themselves. So after arriving in Dallas, no matter how the Mavericks coach player management communicates with him, he still doesn't understand why the Lakers don't want me? What should I do in the future? What about my family and my other careers? He is full of these things, not how to continue his career in Dallas. As a result, a depressed Odom appeared in the Mavericks locker room.

For people like Odom, he himself does not have the aggressiveness of Jordan Kobe, and coupled with the various blows brought to him by the transaction, he has recently heard that there is another marriage problem. Therefore, this former "all-round fighter" has no intentions to play.

But in Yiyang's view, those things are not an excuse for Odom to be irresponsible to the entire team. He is a professional player, and his job is to play in the NBA. The things in Odom's life are also out of control, and don't want to. But on the court, Yiyang could not turn a blind eye to what Odom did.

Seeing Yiyang walked into the door of his office, Carlisle actually knew the purpose of the young man. But in order to get to the point, he still asked knowingly. "Do you have anything to do with me? Also."

"I'm not questioning your employment arrangements, boss. But Lamar's state, I think he really shouldn't have so much playing time!" Yiyang also straightforwardly said the purpose of his trip.

Yiyang didn't want to wait any longer, waiting for Odom to get better by himself, or waiting for Carlisle to be intolerable to Odom. Now Yiyang is eager to only want the Mavericks to win, and the way to make the Mavericks win is to let all the troublemakers sit honestly on the bench!

"I know there is a contradiction between you and Lamar, and I also know that the guy is in bad shape recently. But as a head coach, I can't suddenly abandon him. You are now the core of the team, also. If you say, I I will definitely consider ~www.novelmtl.com~ if Lamar’s performance continues to decline in the next game, I guarantee that he will no longer be a stumbling block to our victory.” In fact, without Yiyang, Carlisle also has. Plan to reduce Odom's playing time.

Everyone can see Odom's bad attitude and state after coming to the Mavericks. If Carlisle abandons Odom, everyone will raise their hands in favor.

But this will not solve the problem, it will only make Odom's hatred of Dallas intensified. If it eventually breaks out, the locker room will be completely messed up. Therefore, Carlisle decided to step by step and let Odom gradually marginalize. If Odom is still thinking about playing, he will definitely be alert and show excellent performance to win a place for himself.

Carlisle's abacus was very loud, but the young defender, who was eager to win and craved, didn't see it.

"The next game is against the Oklahoma City Thunder. If we lose, we have to swallow a three-game losing streak. Trust me, too. You are not the only one who wants to win."

After listening to Carlisle's last words, Yiyang was relieved. If Odom can play out, that's the best. But if they can't play out, the Mavericks leave him, and they can win the game as well!

"If my performance in the next game is not good, please replace me too! I don't want the guy from Los Angeles to talk about me." Before Yiyang walked out of Carlisle's office, he added another condition for himself. . He hopes that Carlisle treats himself and Odom equally, so that Odom's playing time is reduced to be the most convincing.

Seeing Yiyang eager to enter the training ground, Carlisle smiled.

Now like this, where might you be in a bad state? Unlucky Westbrook, maybe revenge, maybe not as cheerful as he imagined...
