One Guard

In the dimly lit room, the projector and the large cloth screen cast the only light. 【】This faint light shone on everyone's faces. Through this faint light, it was obvious that the expressions of the group of people in the room were very serious. It seemed that no one would desert in this dark environment.

The projector went dark for a moment, and then immediately projected another screen. On the big screen, a yellow-skinned player wearing the Mavericks' No. 1 jersey has just received a foul from a teammate. He broke through directly after holding the ball, and No. 1's head looked around, as if planning to find his teammates. But it's a pity that all his teammates are watched to death. Even the people sitting there can't find a completely safe passing route through the third-person perspective.

This No. 1 seemed to be cornered, but he took off calmly and directly, and threw the basketball while keeping his movements intact.

After that, the number on the timer turned to 0, and the red light on the backboard flashed on. The basketball, too, falls into the net amidst the tension created by these two things.

"Click!" A crisp sound freezes the picture on the big screen. A white-haired old man came out and stood in the center of the screen. His stern eyes made all the millionaires and even multi-millionaires below listen obediently.

"Yiyang, other teams may ignore this guy's role in the Mavericks, but we won't! The scene just now was that guy's shot to kill the Celtics in the game on November 6th. It can be clearly seen that this lore tactic was not specially arranged for him. In other words, the rookie took on the heavy task of lore temporarily. Even if it is Wall, he may not be able to perform at the last moment So calm!" After the white-haired old man finished speaking, he pressed the remote control in his hand. The projector started to work again, and on the screen, it became the training hall of the ATT Center, and the person training here was none other than Yiyang, who is currently playing for the Dallas Mavericks!

"I also came to the team for trial training, and Tim was there that day. If you don't believe me, you can ask Tim. The strength of this Chinese is definitely underestimated too much! If it wasn't for the Mavericks traded to Tanhua sign, then we would have won him! I know how much this Chinese man has, so I don’t allow anyone to despise him, even if he is just a rookie! In tomorrow’s game, you must treat him like a real The star treats him like that! Defense at every step, timely blocking, and tacit defense... If we can’t do these things, and it’s not the German’s turn to make a shot, we will be dragged into the abyss by this rookie!” Bai The serious tone of the old man is unquestionable. Now, none of the guys below will continue to treat Yiyang as a rookie.

In the next second, the lights in the room were turned on. It turned out that it was none other than the San Antonio Spurs sitting here studying the footage of the Mavericks game. And the white-haired old man who spoke in front of him just now is undoubtedly the legendary NBA coach, the 61-year-old Greg Vicki.

"Tony, I'll leave the Chinese to you tomorrow. If you can't handle it, I'll replace it with someone else!" **Vich won't be gentle with Parker just because he's a veteran of the team.

If Vicki spoke to Parker very gently, the French might not be able to stand it.

"I will do my best, boss." The Frenchman smiled confidently. In fact, for a European defender who is nearly 30 years old, not tall and physically strong, Parker is basically the same as the word "defensive champion". insulation.

But after all, after so many years of starting under the watchful eyes of Vicky, Parker's characteristics of not losing his position, not gambling steals, and being able to follow people still make him extremely efficient on the defensive end.

And the Spurs' defense has never been a matter of one person. In a highly integrated team like the Spurs, as long as Parker does what he is good at, it is enough for Yiyang to drink a pot.

No wonder the Frenchman with mediocre physical condition is so confident, because behind him is a whole great team!

Unlike the usual joking and joking, when preparing in the locker room today, even Terry, who is usually the most "unscrupulous", had a serious face and put on his equipment seriously.

If the Mavericks were not in San Antonio today, Terry would definitely use Yiyang's newly bought "tank car" to drive. But before the Spurs game, Terry was in no mood for jokes. This is exactly what Yiyang wants, sometimes he really doesn't know what to do with that old naughty boy Terry.

Not only Terry, but Marion, Chandler, and even Dirk Nowitzki and the old Kidd are quite serious today.

Since stepping into the locker room, Nowitzki's brow has not been relaxed. And Kidd was also confirming his physical condition over and over again, for fear of any accidents during the game.

This serious atmosphere infected almost everyone, and Yiyang was no exception. Bulls and horses, as the two rivals of Texas, although it is only the regular season, the Spurs and Mavericks still don't want to lose to each other.

Both sides value the experience of playing against each other, because they are very likely to become opponents in the playoffs. The experience and experience of each match between the two teams will directly affect how far each other can go in the playoffs.

After a while, coaches Rick Carlisle and Terry Stotts also began to emphasize tactics for the players, even though these things had been repeated countless times in the past two days.

Finally, Carlisle led the players onto the court to warm up. Although it was just a warm-up, when the Mavericks players wearing blue away jerseys appeared, the stands at the ATT Center immediately booed again and again.

Yiyang even saw several slogans about himself in the stands. Of course, the words written on those signs were not good.

"This is the Texas Derby! The atmosphere of this game is much hotter than the sunshine in Texas! Enjoy it, kid." Seeing Yiyang looking in the stands, Terry came over and patted his younger brother on the shoulder. Any Mavericks player must play this as his last game, and Terry feels that he has the responsibility to bring Yiyang into this team culture.

In the next second, the boos in the stands turned into cheers. Yiyang followed the eyes of the fans and turned around to see a group of big men wearing white and black home jerseys coming out of another player tunnel.

Duncan, Ginobili and Tony Parker stood in a row and slowly stepped into the field. Just looking at these three guys from a distance, Yiyang felt majestic.

The stone-like man seemed to have noticed that Yiyang was looking at him. Suddenly, the tall No. 21 opened his mouth at Yiyang.

Yiyang didn't know if that ugly expression was a smile or something, but he knew that that guy would not be so "interesting" on the court.

"What are you doing Tim?" Seeing Duncan's "smile" that was scarier than horror movies, Ginobili almost couldn't hold back.

"It's nothing, just to scare the rookie. Maybe, because he saw my smile, he lost his performance?" Despite the low-key and serious appearance of the Spurs, this team is full of humor from top to bottom people. Even Duncan, who is usually silent, and the serious Vitch, are no exception.

"Don't scare the rookie, you almost scared me!" **Vichitch reprimanded Duncan and Ginobili loudly when he saw Duncan and Ginobili whispering to each other.

"Hurry up and warm up! Otherwise, I'll let you two old guys sit on the bench!"

Duncan and Ginobili knew that ** Weiqi was not alarmist. If he's really upset, whether you're a star player or whatever, he'll really let you sit on the bench. Parker was a few years ago because he took too many shots in one game and was directly turned into a substitute player in the next game.

The two stopped joking, but quickly and seriously devoted themselves to training.

Seeing the warm-up of those two old guys, **Vichitch also turned his head to look at Carlisle in the other half.

"Come on, let's stage the playoffs in advance!" The white-haired old man muttered to himself, "The battle between the bull and the horse" is bound to not end hastily!
