One Guard

The battle with the Mavericks can be said to be the worst of Embiid's career. Not only did this guy lose the ball, but he didn't even win Yiyang.

For Gobert, this game made him famous. Originally the famous person was Embiid, but Gobert was so embarrassed to guard Embiid, he took over Embiid's popularity.

Especially when Gobert assured Yiyang before the game that he would not let Embiid score more than 15 points after the episode was exposed, Gobert's popularity soared.

Before the start of this season, people said that the dual-core combination of Yiyang and Hayward would make it difficult for the Mavericks to do anything this season. After all, no Big Three is ashamed to call themselves a championship team.

However, it is different from the stars of other teams whose reputation is greater than their strength. Most of the Mavericks players are more powerful than famous.

Gobert was known as the "half giant" before the season, but his performance this season is extremely good. Not many people knew Mitchell before the start of the season, but now people see Wade's shadow in him. Rudy Gay may have been forgotten by people, but he still shows great strength...

This is the case with the Dallas Mavericks. They always look mediocre, but in fact they are extremely tough.

After defeating the 76ers, the Mavericks had only one opponent left in October, the Utah Jazz.

Although the Jazz has a strong Hood and the "Spanish Golden Boy" Ricky Rubio who has just joined the team, their hard power is still not enough to compete with the Mavericks.

Hood and Rubio scored 45 points together, it can be described as doing their best. The Mavericks used five people to score in double figures and easily won an away victory in Salt Lake City.

As one might expect, the Mavericks scored a complete victory in the first month of the new season! Although there is only half a month in October, it is still not easy to get an 8-game winning streak at the start.

You know, this is almost a brand new Mavericks team. Compared with previous seasons, their starting lineup has changed a lap except for Yiyang and Gobert.

And this brand-new team almost didn't have to run-in, and it went straight to its best condition.

After October, the Mavericks soared from fifth to number one on the ESPN power index rankings! This team, which was not optimistic before the start of the season, is now ranked ahead of the Warriors, Rockets and Thunder. It is not unbelievable.

Now the whole world knows that the Mavericks are a super strong team, they are completely different from the old age before. And every opponent who tried to win over them failed without exception.

On November 1, the Mavericks challenged their old rival Clippers away. Although the Clippers are old rivals, after losing Paul, the Clippers' strength is naturally not as good as that of the past.

Just relying on Griffin's "pseudo champion" who has barely improved over the years, the Clippers "wrecked" in just three quarters. The Mavericks still scored in double figures with 5 players, Yiyang 30 points, Hayward 19 points, Mitchell 18 points, Kuzma 15 points, Nowitzki 13 points. Sore holes.

On the other hand, the Clippers, without the guidance of Paul, the "captain", Griffin and Jordan can only do their best on the inside, and the inefficiency is known.

During the game, Griffin also deliberately smashed Kuzma's head with the ball in order to vent his aggrieved heart. But in the end, he still lost. This once-fascinating white beast is now losing and losing, and it is very disappointing.

118 to 105, Yiyang led the Mavericks to a nine-game winning streak, and they are still unbeaten!

On November 3, the Mavericks ushered in the challenge of Cousins ​​and Anthony Davis to the league's first twin towers. Since Cousins ​​joined the Pelicans in the middle of last season, the Pelicans have always had high goals. This season, the running-in between Cousins ​​and Davis has been very mature, and the Pelicans have also allowed people to see a lot of surprises.

Before the game, Yiyang's old rival Cousins ​​also threatened to end the Mavericks' undefeated golden status. However, this remark did not cause any trouble among the fans. Because the few people who said this before were all killed without exception.

Although the Pelicans have improved a lot this season, people still don't think they can wrestle with the Mavericks. If you can't turn talent into real power, the Pelicans have no chance of winning.

In this game, Cousins ​​and Davis teamed up to score 50 points and 35 rebounds! This explosive data made Gobert feel ashamed!

Gobert would not be so embarrassed to single against Davis or Cousins, but facing two super insiders at the same time, Gobert seemed a little powerless.

The explosive data of the two looked very enjoyable. It stands to reason that if the two cores of a team are like this, it should be impossible for this team to lose.

However, this is the magic of the Pelicans. The statistics of Cousins ​​and Davis have always been very good, but the Pelicans have always missed the defeat.

Because apart from these two big guys, the Pelicans don't have the third person to stand out. In order to serve these two super insiders, the rest of the Pelicans seem to be out of the system and out of step with the game.

When the commentators praised the magic of Cousins ​​and Davis, Yiyang led the Mavericks to quietly win the game.

99 to 94, the Super Twin Towers of the Pelicans provided a visual feast for the fans, but failed to add a win for the team. The Mavericks used the strength of the team to defeat the Pelicans Twin Towers, which can only fight alone. The data of Yiyang and others may not be so bursting, but in the end, what fans remember is the winner with not so good data.

After the game, the stands of the American Airlines Center Arena were churning. The 10-game winning streak started. Although this season has just begun, fans seem to be able to foresee that the Mavericks will once again win the O'Brien Cup after a year.

※※※

At the end of the game, the Mavericks, who had won 10 consecutive victories, played or made jokes in the locker room, and the atmosphere was full of joy.

The setbacks of last season made the entire Mavericks look weak. But this year, after a lot of fresh blood joined, the team has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

The entire locker room has become more energetic, and because of consecutive victories, the players get along quite harmoniously.

After Yiyang returned to the locker room, he didn't rush to take a shower, but chatted with his teammates one by one. Some team leaders will let the whole team cater to them, but Yiyang will never do this.

He will take the initiative to understand his teammates' views on the game and their attitude towards the status quo. It is for this reason that the Mavericks will become one of the most united teams in the league.

When Yiyang finished this and took a shower and was about to leave, the dressing room was empty. Tomorrow, the Mavericks will fly to Minnesota to play a back-to-back game with the Timberwolves after having Jimmy Butler.

Before that, Yiyang just wanted to go home early to see his wife, mother and children. Although Vignali doesn't have to run around now, Yiyang still doesn't have much time to spend time with his family.

This summer, in order to train and build a team, Yiyang did not have a home for a long time, and did not even take his family out for travel. Now that the season has started, Yiyang is even more busy. In addition to competitions, various commercial activities and training also occupy a lot of time in Yiyang.

Unlike a few years ago, who only knew how to play and train desperately. Compared with the basketball court, Yiyang is now more eager for family.

When Yiyang walked out of the locker room door and walked through the player tunnel to go to the underground parking lot, he was surprised to find that the training hall door was still open, and there was a "boom" sound from basketball hitting the wooden floor.

This season, Yiyang has rarely practiced. Apart from him, no one else on the entire Mavericks team will practice until this late. What's more, there is a back-to-back match to be played tomorrow. So who is it that is still sweating at this time?

When Yiyang pushed open the gate of the training hall, only a tall figure covered with tattoos was seen on the court, shooting non-stop outside the three-point line.

"Kyle! What time is it, and I have to play tomorrow!" Yiyang yelled, but he didn't expect it to be Kuzma.

"Today, my shooting was not good enough. I don't want to be tomorrow, but I can only show this kind of performance!" Kuzma did not look back, but continued to focus on training.

In today's game, Kuzma made only 1 of 5 three-pointers, and there are many opportunities for large open spaces. Regarding this, Kuzma was worried. Although the Mavericks won the ball, Kuzma was not satisfied with his performance.

Poor three-pointers ~www.novelmtl.com~ Today, he is desperately practicing three-pointers, and he must feel his hands!

Yiyang, who had originally planned to go home, walked straight towards Kuzma. At this time, Kuzma was shirtless and sweaty. He seemed to have been training for a long time.

Before the draft, Yiyang had heard of Kuzma's deeds. When this guy was in college, his training was usually pulled from 7 in the morning to 7 in the evening. As a mediocre player, the only thing Kuzma can do is to pay more sweat than others.

After all, as an older rookie, Kuzma has already lost on the "starting line" as soon as he entered the league. Therefore, he is willing to work harder than everyone else, and he wants to prove himself incomparably.

After watching Kuzma shoot a few baskets, Yiyang shook his head, "Stop it, Kuz. Your muscles are already extremely tight because of exhaustion, and training like this is not good for you."

After listening to Yiyang, Kuzma really stopped his movements, "But I heard that you used to practice like this."

"That's because I'm stupid, Kurz. I can only catch up with them if I spend more time than others."

"Have I said I'm smart?" Kuzma smiled, and then continued to cast.

The No. 0 striker seems to have lost the draft and is practicing all the time. Some people take a breath after earning the first big contract in their lives, but since he was selected, he has never slackened, and he will not stop working hard.

In Kuzma, Yiyang seemed to have seen himself.

Shaking his head, Yiyang walked out of the training ground. Before leaving, I did not forget the probe came in and said, "Don't train too late, remember to take a good rest."

On the night seven years ago, Dirk told Yiyang the same way. From Dirk to Yiyang, and from Yiyang to Kuzma. Maybe, this is the heritage of a team...
