One Guard

The Dallas Mavericks chose Gobert as they wished. In the eyes of Yiyang and Carlisle, this is part of the Mavericks summer reinforcement. But outside, not many people would have hope for a rookie with the 27th overall pick.

People are expecting Bennett and Irving to lead the team to glory, Dallas Mavericks? Those guys always thunder and rain in summer. Just a rookie with the 27th overall pick can't make them break through the Western Conference Finals.

Yiyang doesn't care what the outside world thinks of the Mavericks. As Cuban often said, what kind of player is the most suitable team, those who play on the court know best. Those reporters are simply messing around. When Cuban introduced Odom the year before, reporters said that the Mavericks would soar into the sky. What happened?

Facts have proved that whether a team's signing is good has nothing to do with the media's response. Until the start of next season, no one can jump to a conclusion.

Therefore, even if the media is indifferent to Cuban's choice, the Mavericks still showed their enthusiasm. Cuban also said that he would formally sign a contract with Gobert soon, and Gobert can't wait to start his revenge plan. All teams that missed him or abandoned him on draft night, Gobert will make them look good.

Before leaving Brooklyn, Gobert took the initiative to call Yiyang, which made Yiyang feel extremely happy.

"Do you want to train with me in the summer?" Yiyang did not expect that a rookie who had not formally signed with the team would actually make such a request.

"Well, I hope to seize the time to improve myself. And everyone knows that you are the most trained player in this league!" Gobert said bluntly, he always likes to hone himself with the strong.

What impressed Yiyang and Cuban the most about Gobert was not his height and arm span, but his drive. He will never be satisfied with the status quo, and will never be left behind. What if the other party is the best in America? What Gobert thought in his mind was how to surpass his opponent forever!

"Training with me is very hard. I'm not sure if you can adapt to this level of special training intensity." Yiyang naturally welcomes Gobert to go to Brickley's training camp with himself for "reform". , But can Gobert, a player who has never played any official game in the United States, be able to withstand the exercise method Brickley prepared specifically for the superstars?

"Is your training exhausting?" Gobert asked back, his serious tone didn't sound like he was joking with Yiyang.

"Puff, do you think we are doing body modification surgery in the training camp? Of course not! Our special training is tiresome!" Yiyang replied cried and laughed. Gobert, this guy, sometimes I don't know if it is really stupid or pretending stupid. He is fierce on the basketball court, but under the basketball court, he looks like a cute kid.

At this point, the 2013 draft is officially over for Yiyang and the Mavericks. At this time, the general managers of the 30 NBA teams are waiting for the opening of the free agent market.

At this time of every summer, although there are no games in the NBA, the issue of the ownership of the stars and the fierce competition between the teams are even as exciting as a soap opera at eight o'clock.

Every twenty-four hours, reporters from all walks of life will have a variety of different news. And this year, the three biggest fish in the free agency market are also the three with the most news. Undoubtedly, they are Howard, who is depressed by the Lakers but still has outstanding personal abilities. He played his peak performance in the Jazz, and is now looking forward to a maximum salary contract for Al Jefferson and Andre Iguodala, who has already announced that he has stepped out of his contract and became a free agent.

Of these three, Howard and Al Jefferson are Cuban’s biggest goals this summer! He believes that if he can get any of these two All-Star centers, the Mavericks will return to the finals!

But are Howard and Al Jefferson really the best system for the Mavericks? I am afraid that is not the case...

At 0:00 on July 1, the NBA free agent market officially opened. The Mavericks received good news on the first day after the free agent market opened.

O.J. Mayo, who chose to jump out of the contract, accepted the Bucks' offer of $24 million for three years and moved away from Milwaukee. In the new season, Mayo will continue to play in the league wearing the Bucks jersey.

Although this is only a signing between the player and the team, the Mavericks did not get any substantial benefits from it, but the fans are still ecstatic about it.

Even leaving a player can make fans happy like this, O.J. Mayo is probably the first person the Mavericks have ever won this "honor."

The departure of Mayo has further expanded the Mavericks' already generous cap space. Of course, it also freed the Mavericks locker room from trouble. In a collective like the Mavericks, any player who does not seek to improve and has no desire for victory is a detriment to the team atmosphere. Now, this damage has been successfully cleaned up.

If someone leaves, someone has to come in. Cuban didn't want this to be another empty summer, so on July 2, he got in touch with Howard's manager Feigen early, and the two sides also reached a preliminary cooperation intention.

Howard has already let out a word, saying that he may not necessarily renew his contract with the Lakers. After visiting the Atlanta Hawks, Houston Rockets and Dallas Mavericks, he will return to Los Angeles to negotiate with the Lakers and finally make a decision among the four teams. And almost all experts predict that the cities Howard is most likely to choose are Houston and Dallas!

Cuban was ecstatic about this. The Rockets and the Hawks are not necessarily more willing to spend money than themselves. Besides, the Mavericks who reached the Western Conference finals last season are more competitive than the Rockets who failed to make the playoffs and the Eagles who were only seventh in the Eastern Conference. For Dwight Howard, Cuban is bound to win!

"Have you heard the news? Ye!" Yiyang received a call from Cuban when he was at home with his mother to tidy up the backyard garden. On the phone, the fat boss's voice was as excited as he had picked up 5 million dollars out of thin air.

No, if the guy in Cuban sees 5 million dollars falling on the ground, he might choose to ignore it and walk away because it is too difficult to get.

"What's the news?" Yiyang was confused, all he thought of now was the **** weeds and the beautiful smile of his mother.

"Dwight Howard! He is coming to Dallas tomorrow to meet with us!"

"Oh, isn't it?" A cold wind blew through, making Cuban standing in the office shiver.

Cuban originally thought Yiyang would be very excited, but after waiting for a long time, he only waited for a cold response.

"This... is over? You don't plan to persuade Howard to stay by yourself tomorrow?"

"No, I'll leave it to you to sign the contract." From the bottom of his heart, Yiyang doesn't have a good impression of Howard. This guy's pursuit of honor and desire for victory are not as real as Gobert's rookie. If it was Howard in the magic era, Yiyang would be very welcome. But after that season in Los Angeles, Howard not only declined in form, but also changed drastically. Now Yiyang can't flatter his personality that could detonate the locker room at any time.

But after all, Cuban is the owner of the team, and Yiyang is sometimes not very good at interfering with the operation of the management.

Cuban didn't take Yiyang's reaction too much to his heart, because the guy Yiyang talked less. Maybe he's not too good at recruiting teammates personally.

After hanging up, Carlisle next to Cuban rushed to ask his boss. "What do you say?"

"He said he won't come, it doesn't matter, we can handle Dwight by ourselves!" Cuban smiled, Yiyang was just like this.

"He's not coming?" Unlike Cuban, Carlisle's performance was somewhat surprised.

"Yes, it's not the kind of guy who can talk about things, he shouldn't like it very much in this kind of situation."

"No, not for this reason. Mark, I think we have to reconsider negotiating with Dwight again."

"Reconsider? What is there to consider!? Dwight is now the league's first center. Does anyone still need to consider in front of the first center?" Cuban spread his hands and grabbed Howard's ball. There are a lot of teams, and if the Mavericks miss it, there is a real possibility that there will be no chance. After waiting for a long time, I was finally able to make waves in the free agent market. How can I just give up and give up! ?

"Dwight is indeed the best center in the league, but he is really suitable for the Dallas Mavericks, suitable for Dirk, is it suitable?" Carlisle said three consecutive questions, and Cuban was speechless.

"I know I have made the wrong decision, but this is Dwight Howard after all!"

"Stop being superstitious, Mark. I know that now the world is gathering stars. The success of the Heat has shown everyone a shortcut to winning the championship. But not all teams can be like the Miami Heat. Good luck. The Lakers’ downfall last season is the best proof of this. The stars get together, but they can’t be directly equated with the O’Brien Cup. What we need is not the most famous, but the most suitable team. Yes!" Carlisle patted Cuban on the shoulder. If Yiyang was embarrassed to say, Carlisle helped him.

Cuban did not rush to refute this time, but turned his chair to the floor-to-ceiling windows and looked at the panoramic view of the city of Dallas.

Cuban does have a "hobby" to collect superstars. For the sake of a fantastic lineup, Cuban even did not hesitate to throw out green bills. Those bright names are inexplicably attractive to Cuban. But as Carlisle said, can superstars really help the team?

As we all know ~www.novelmtl.com~ Howard likes to attack with the ball in the low post, and does not like the tactics of high pick and roll. Furthermore, Howard's attitude towards basketball is completely different from Yiyang and Dirk. Such a guy joining the team is likely to make the Mavericks locker room crack again.

But when he thinks of the famous name "Dwight Howard", Cuban is not willing to give up. No matter what, he is the number one center in the league!

"If you don't believe me, then you should believe it? Why not, this summer, we will let Elastos personally choose our teammates. Then we will see if the player chooses the better or we choose!"

"Yina kid's character I know, he wouldn't do that." Cuban waved his hand. In this regard, Yiyang is a thin-skinned person.

"What if all this is for the championship? I think he would be very happy to do it!" Carlisle was confident. This year Yiyang offered to choose Gobert. Isn't it a good start?

A team, after all, has to be handed over to the players...The advice of a leading star can sometimes be more useful than ten scouts.
