One Guard

In the latest MVP rankings, Yiyang ranked first, James Harden followed closely behind and ranked second, and Warriors' Stephen Curry ranked third. And last season's MVP winner Russell Westbrook fell to fourth.

The Mavericks and Oklahoma City game, the reputation of Westbrook was discredited. The same point guard, the same MVP level player. But the gap between Westbrook and Yiyang is visible to the naked eye.

Westbrook's meaningless triple-double data can no longer excuse him, and fans even hate him for his data-swiping behavior. Now, in addition to local Oklahoma fans, almost the whole world is besieging Westbrook. A "tortoise slaughter conference" is going on all over the world like a fire like tea.

This year's 29th birthday, Westbrook must be unforgettable for a lifetime.

While Westbrook was besieged by people, the Dallas Mavericks' winning streak has reached the 14th game. In 14 games, 13 teams, the Dallas Mavericks swept almost half of the league!

It is not surprising that Yiyang averaged 29.2 points and 11.3 assists per game and ranked first in the league in efficiency. This is Yiyang, he has never disappointed any season.

Hayward averaged 19.5 points, 4.5 rebounds and 4.2 assists per game, which is what he deserves. As Yiyang's left and right arms, Hayward is undoubtedly very competent.

Rudy Gobert has averaged 0.5 points less points per game so far this season than last season, but no one thinks this guy has regressed. After all, his real role is on the defensive end. In the selection of this year's best defensive player, Gobert will definitely be more competitive than last year.

Of course, the most surprising thing about the Mavericks is the rookies Mitchell and Kuzma. Mitchell was selected with the 13th overall pick and is currently averaging 17.3 points per game. Kuzma was selected with the 27th overall pick, and his current scoring average is 15.6. These two rookies are not high, but in the league rookie report, they appeared at the top of the scoring list along with super rookies such as Ben Simmons. And it is believed that the performance of these two little guys will get better and better.

No one could have imagined that the Mavericks, relying on two stars and a group of young and old, could actually play a 14-game winning streak. In the playoffs, veterans such as Dirk, Carter, Tony Allen and Deron Williams will certainly play a huge role.

Some Dallas media can't wait to define the Mavericks as a championship winner. The Dallas Mavericks this season seems to be impeccable in every way.

Facing the overwhelming praise from the outside world, Yiyang was not stunned by victory. He knows that the Mavericks' ceiling is more than that. Although this team has achieved 14 consecutive victories, it has not yet become its final form.

Mitchell and Kuzma have already played two first-year rookies, but Mudiay's third-year "old rookie" has not yet met Yiyang's requirements.

Unlike Mitchell, who is already firmly in the starting position, and Kuzma, who can occasionally start, Mudiay has been acting as a substitute since he entered the Mavericks.

In this regard, Mudiay did not feel wronged. As a point guard that overlaps with Yiyang, Mudiae is destined to be unable to start unless Yiyang is injured. However, Yiyang may be the star with the highest attendance rate in the entire league. This guy has nearly 8 years of professional career combined, and has missed less than 15 games in total. Everyone says that Westbrook and James are steel and iron bones, but in fact, Yiyang is the real "iron man."

But on the Mavericks bench, Deron Williams, the organization master, is still sitting. Although Deron has been unable to play in the state of previous years, this year's scoring average has also fallen below double digits. But as long as Deron is on the court, the Mavericks second team offense will not be chaotic.

So Mudiay is not Yiyang's substitute more often, but Mitchell's substitute. When he played, he played the shooting guard position most of the time.

This is the result of mutual discussions between Yiyang and Carlisle. Mudiay may not be suitable for the first position, but more suitable for the second position. This guy's ability to control the overall situation has not yet reached the standard of an excellent No. 1 position. But if he only focuses on scoring and defense, Yiyang believes that Mudiay can do it.

Compared to Barea, Moody's advantage lies in its ability to break through and create damage. And compared to Tony Allen and Carter, Mudiay is also more malleable. Mudiay has averaged no more than 8.2 points per game. But in Yiyang's mind, Mudiae's role is the sixth person, the sharp knife that continues to hit the opponent during the rotation time.

Maybe Moody's is not like Kuzma and Mitchell, which can make people see results quickly. But his progress, Yiyang can be seen in his eyes.

In the last training session of each day, after the end of the team match, the players returned to the locker room talking and laughing, ready to check in and get off work.

Today's confrontational training made Carlisle very satisfied, and the players are in excellent condition as always. And Yiyang still saw the changes in Mudiay.

In the confrontational training, Mudiay overcame several Mitchells and caused Gobert to foul several times. In terms of shooting, under Deron's organization, Mudiay will not make strong shots in interference, but will only shoot when he encounters an open position.

With 12 points and 1 steal, Mudiay's stats are very simple. He goes on the court for scoring and defense. As Yiyang and Carlisle expected, Mudiay might be more suitable for the second position. He can't accomplish complex organizational tasks, but Mudiay can accomplish a simple goal very well.

The Congolese themselves are not in a hurry. In the two years with the Nuggets, Mudiay has also been confused and anxious. However, anxiety and confusion are of no use. Mudiay must follow Yiyang's words, step by step, to have hope for his career.

After changing his clothes, Yiyang was about to leave. Just when he was about to get up, Mudiay leaned forward.

"also."

"What's the matter? Moody."

"Um... Mom asked me to tell you in advance, this Christmas, if you have time, just come to my house. You haven't been here for a long time." Moody's eyes were erratic when he spoke. Dare to see Yiyang's eyes.

Because he knows that Yiyang hasn't been here in the past few years. Isn't it because he had a big fight with him? That is his biggest disrespect to Yiyang, so if Yiyang refuses, Mudiay will not be surprised.

"Well, okay, I'll take my family with me." However, what Mudiay didn't expect was that Yiyang agreed heartily, without even saying a word of nonsense.

"Really!? That's great. Mom must be very happy to hear the news! If you refuse me, Mom will definitely be nagging for a long time when you go home."

Yiyang smiled, although this is already the third year of Mudiay's career. But he still looked like the middle school boy back then.

"Then I'm leaving first, mother must have been unable to wait. See you tomorrow, too!"

"Well, see you tomorrow."

Mudiay ran out of the locker room excitedly, as if he had received an A+ test paper, and couldn't wait to go home to show off to his mother.

"Hey, Moody!"

Just when Mudiay pushed open the locker room door~www.novelmtl.com~Yiyang suddenly stopped him.

"Ok!?"

"Don't give up, everything will be fine."

Moody's nodded slightly, giving up? It is impossible to give up, he is the pillar of the family! I may indeed make progress slower than others, but as Yiyang said, as long as I work hard, there is nothing I can't do.

On November 14, the Dallas Mavericks, who started their 14-game winning streak, met the San Antonio Spurs with an 8 wins and 5 losses. The former "Duncan successor" Leonard of the Spurs is still missing due to injury, and LaMarcus Aldridge must be on his own.

The game was tepid and both sides were very cautious. But the Dallas Mavericks, who attacked more points, eventually won by 6 points.

Aldridge scored a game-high 32 points alone, and he is also the only player in the Spurs team to score 20. The Spurs scored in double figures, including Aldridge, but only four.

The Spurs are indeed a force that cannot be ignored in the West, but now no one thinks that they are still champion contenders.

On the Mavericks' side, today, six people scored in double figures. Yiyang's 27 points and 13 assists are very dazzling, and Hayward's 24 points are not inferior. After the game, these two men naturally became the target of journalists' pursuit.

Under Aldridge's 32 points and Yiyang and Hayward's excellent performance, no one noticed. That substitute came on the stage, broke through dunks twice, and made accurate open shots. Mudiay, the former top high school student in the United States, also silently scored 11 points...

All roads lead to Rome, and some people may be born in Rome. But some people can appreciate the beauty of Rome even more after experiencing the thorns.

Yiyang believes that it will not be long. The final form of the Dallas Mavericks will surely surprise everyone.
