One Guard

In the fourth season of his career, Yiyang finally came to his home in the Western Conference of powerful guard Rulin and was selected as the All-Star starting lineup. In the first two seasons, the Western Conference was still dominated by Chris Paul. But this year, Yiyang has undoubtedly won the crown on Paul's head.

This is also the first Chinese player to become the All-Star vote leader after Yao Ming in 2006.

In the past, some ignorant media would often question Yao Ming's winning of the vote. Because of China's huge population, Yao Ming has an innate advantage in votes. But when it was put on Yiyang, this kind of questioning was very small.

Most Chinese fans are sure, but Yiyang's strength is enough to support his title of All-Star ticket champion.

In addition to China, the local fans in Dallas have also fallen into madness. This is another All-Star starter coming out of Dallas after Nowitzki!

From December 14 Yiyang scored 53 points to start the Mavericks' 23-game winning streak, then broke the team's winning streak, the battle of Yiyang flu, and after that, is now selected as the vote king in the All-Star starting lineup.

It seems that from the beginning of this season, the news about Yiyang has never stopped. Every once in a while, Yiyang is able to stuff some "explosives" into the alliance.

Last season, Yiyang handed over the first masterpiece of his career in terms of personal data and performance. Then this year, he will grow into a well-deserved superstar in the eyes of public opinion and the public.

Yiyang is naturally very happy to be selected into the Western Conference All-Star lineup as the vote king. This shows that his efforts have been recognized by the huge fan base. Yiyang did not disappoint the fans, nor did the fans disappoint Yiyang.

Happy, but Yiyang didn't really care about the All-Star Game. Although the All-Star Weekend is full of stars, it is just an entertainment weekend. Since it is an entertainment system, it will not have any impact on the results of the season. At this time, Yiyang didn't care much about anything other than grades.

Compared with the All-Star Weekend itself, Yiyang is looking forward to the reunion with Vignali during the All-Star Game!

"You are really my hero! All-star ticket king, Western Conference starting point guard, hahahahahaha, I knew you were the best!" Vignali's scream came from the telephone receiver, looking like , This Italian girl is even more excited than Yiyang herself.

Vignalie has participated in the NBA All-Star Weekend many times, and she is even an old face in the NBA Masters. But this time, Vignari was surprisingly excited.

When I went to the All-Star Weekend before, the stars who were racing on the court were just stars. They are unattainable, they seem to be thousands of miles away from themselves. But thinking of this time, the most highly anticipated character in the All-Star Game turned out to be his boyfriend! This kind of excitement is completely different from watching others.

"Don't worry, I will only participate in the All-Star Game this year, and I won't participate in the others. So, I should have a lot of time to accompany you." Yiyang smiled into the receiver, I really hope the All-Star Weekend will come soon.

In fact, fans are eager for Yiyang to participate in the skill challenge and dunk contest. Yiyang's performance in the dunk contest the year before last, so far no one has been able to hire beauty. And Yiyang's lightning-fast speed and precise passing skills also make fans want to see what Yiyang can achieve in the skill challenge.

The league officials really contacted Yiyang on this matter, but Yiyang refused without even thinking about it.

First of all, participating in these two seasons will take up his and Vignali’s few alone time. Secondly, Yiyang, who has devoted himself to the championship plan, has no intention of preparing for the skill challenge and dunk contest. And Yiyang is also a person who strives for perfection. If you don't do it, you don't do it. If you do it, you must do it well.

If he signs up for the dunk contest and skill challenge, he will definitely spend a lot of time preparing. Just play if you don't care, so it's not Yiyang's style of acting.

Therefore, Yiyang directly declined the invitation. Fans want to watch him perform, it is estimated that they will have to wait a few more seasons.

Hanging up the phone call with Vignali, the matter related to the All-Star Game was also "hanged up" by Yiyang's mind.

Compared with the All-Star Game, the results of the regular season are what Yiyang values ​​more.

In the last game lost to the Rockets, Yiyang was actually quite aggrieved. Obviously the team played normally, but because the opponent's state was too good and lost. Although after losing, the Mavericks' record of 41 wins and 5 losses still ranks first in the league. But in this game the Rockets also let other teams know that the Dallas Mavericks are not unbeatable!

Therefore, Yiyang became a big hit, and Yiyang has just led the team to achieve the third longest 23-game winning streak in NBA history. The Sacramento Kings, ranked only third from the bottom, dare to challenge the Mavericks!

DeMarcus Cousins, the famous "problem boy" in the NBA sometimes does have a problem. In the past, every time he met Yiyang, Cousins ​​would open his mouth and play sideways before the game. This time is no exception. In addition to the Mavericks just losing, Cousins ​​also has a arrogant capital.

The Sacramento Kings, a big-bodied team, is one of the five teams that have beaten the Mavericks this season by mistake!

"Everyone is afraid of playing against the Mavericks, but we won't! You know, the last time the Dallas Mavericks ran into us, they lost a full 11 points!" Cousins ​​did not hide his arrogance when interviewed by reporters.

The five games the Mavericks lost this season were lost to the Heat by three points, lost to the Trail Blazers and Warriors by two points, and lost to the Rockets by four points. The Sacramento Kings are the only team to beat the Mavericks by a double-digit lead.

In the NBA, there is no shortage of examples of defeating the strong by the weak. Every season, there are always a few strong teams that just can't beat the weak ones. Weak teams are not weak, and strong teams are not strong. This is also the biggest attraction of the NBA.

At this time, Cousins ​​must have thought that his Sacramento King was the Mavericks' No. 1 nemesis in the league.

Seeing the video of Cousins's interview on the Internet, Yiyang did not speak, and even wanted to laugh a little. He didn't know how Wall became friends with that stupid big guy. If he would be in a team with Cousins ​​in college, they would have to fight every day!

Although Wall told Yiyang more than once, Cousins ​​is actually quite cute. But Yiyang didn't think Cousins ​​was cute, and stupid was really stupid.

The Kings are indeed the only team that can only beat the Mavericks so badly this season, but that is also related to various reasons. The last time the two sides played against each other, the Kings' performance was clearly above their average. Even a guy like Derek Williams who averaged single-digit points per game scored more than 30 points that day, and we know how "exceeded" the Kings played. And there is another very important factor, Yiyang did not play because of the suspension!

This time, the Mavericks are in good shape, and Yiyang has no possibility of a truce. He really didn't know where the stupid big guy Cousins ​​came from his self-confidence!

Sure enough, on January 31st, BA's latest match was the duel between the Dallas Mavericks and the Sacramento Kings.

Before the start of the game, Cousins ​​showed off his power, facing the camera of the reporters, wishing to lift his chin to the sky.

Between this big guy and Yiyang, there is really nothing to share. But after the game started, the identity of the Kings' underdog in the West was immediately beaten back to its original form!

Rudy Gay also wanted to use his own shock to create damage like the last game, but Iguodala's defense made this guy unable to rush.

Gay may think he is the star of the Grizzlies, but now he is no longer as brave as he was.

Cousins ​​also wanted to play inside, but Gobert, who was more mature than two months ago, made Cousins ​​very uncomfortable.

That big guy's arms seem to be waving in front of your eyes all the time, making you unable to attack comfortably.

As for Derek Williams, who scored 30 points on the Mavericks in the previous game, he has played his true level today and disappeared like air on the offensive end. This is the result of Derek’s normal performance. .

The offense was blocked, and the Kings also lost a streak on the defensive end. The offense led by Yiyang couldn't keep up with the Kings' team of the worst guys in the West.

In addition, Isaiah Thomas, who is facing Yiyang today, is only 1.75 meters tall. As a high point guard, Yiyang is naturally able to play in front of Thomas. In many cases, even if Yiyang shoots directly, Thomas is helpless.

From the first minute of the first quarter to the electronic buzzer that represented the end of the game, the Kings did not get even a one-point lead.

Cousins ​​made 21 crazy shots in the game, but he was impatient and only hit 8 of them. Although scored 19 points, 38.1% of the field goal percentage appeared on an inside player, which is undoubtedly quite embarrassing.

Rudy Gay still has 20 points under Iguodala's defense, but 20 points can't help the Kings win at the American Airlines Center Arena.

As for the improvement this season, Thomas Jr., whose scoring average has risen to 20.3 points, was defended by Yiyang and made 0 of 10 shots. Yes, Yiyang relentlessly sealed little Thomas. In a basketball game, it is definitely not easy to be able to seal an opponent, even if it is just an opponent with a height of 1.75 meters.

112 to 101, the Mavericks also gave the Kings an 11-point victory. Yiyang scored 36 points and 8 assists in the whole game. Facing Isaiah Thomas's defense that was better than none, Yiyang increased his number of shots, so the number of assists declined.

After the game, Cousins, who was so bullish, frowned and refused to interview all reporters. However, Yiyang ~www.novelmtl.com~, who was silent before the game, happened in front of the camera.

"I have to thank the Sacramento Kings and DeMarcus Cousins, sincerely. Because without them, we would not have won another game so soon! This is after losing. A very good'appetizer', thank you King and DeMarcus for their hospitality!" Yiyang replied solemnly, making the reporters shook their heads.

If the guy Cousins ​​saw this interview video, he would probably go crazy at home.

Overtaking the Kings at home, which allowed the Mavericks to avoid repeating their losing streak. And this game also became the beginning of another series of winning streaks for the Mavericks.

After entering February, none of the Mavericks' opponents were too strong.

They first defeated the Cavaliers at the bottom of the East, and then defeated Tony Allen's old club Grizzlies. Finally, in Salt Lake City, Yiyang met his old friend Hayward. However, the record of the battle between the two sides has always been that Yiyang has won more, and this time is no exception.

Easily, the Mavericks' winning streak came to four games without knowing it. After the game, Hayward congratulated Yiyang on being selected to the All-Star starting lineup and playing well. But this time apart from fighting each other, they have one more topic to talk about.

"The day after tomorrow's game, we must be more careful."

"Do you know who I will fight with the day after tomorrow?" Yiyang smiled, Hayward this guy is still as meticulous as before.

"Of course I know, I was looking forward to that game at the beginning of the season. I only give you a suggestion, don't think of them too simple!" Hayward patted Yiyang on the shoulder, his expression was not at all It's like joking.

Yiyang couldn't help but put away his smiling hippie expression. It seemed that the retreating battle of Boston might be more difficult than he thought.

right? Coach Brad Stevens.
