One Guard

Steve still remembers that when he found Yiyang, Yiyang had just been kicked out of the college basketball team for fighting with his teammates. -- The reason is because his teammates insulted Yiyang's mother outspokenly.

At that time, Yiyang was rebellious and didn't like being bound by rules. He knew that only when he became fierce, others would shut up obediently. The fist is the best weapon to make yourself fierce.

It was hard for Steve to imagine what Yiyang would have done to that teammate in Gao if he had violated Yiyang with physical contact instead of words.

But at least now, Smith has an answer. As he grew up, Yiyang used his fists less and less. Raja Bell's violation today, if it was in college, Yiyang would probably rush to beat this guy up.

But now Yiyang knows that the fist can no longer help him solve all the problems. On the basketball court, it is obviously a better choice to use basketball to solve problems.

"Brat, you've finally grown up." Seeing Yiyang handling the reporters who came to interview with ease, Shi Si was not relieved. This guy Yiyang has grown not only in his skills, but also in his heart.

"Eight consecutive victories, the Dallas Mavericks have achieved a remarkable result. In eight games, they also averaged 16.6 points and 8.8 assists per game. If you only look at the data, you must think that this is played by a top point guard in the league But also, he is only a first-year rookie. And unlike other high-ranking rookies, he is not the first choice for the team to score. Even so, it is still unstoppable! Today, Coach Sloan is considered I have seen the horror of the rookie. I think from now on, he will continue to increase Hayward's playing time." After the game, Mike Breen made a summary of the data of Yiyang's eight games. As expected, the statistics produced by Yiyang are very good, and this is not the final form of Yiyang.

If you want Mike Brin to evaluate it, Cuban's draft this summer is simply the best draft for the Mavericks after Dirk Nowitzki!

On the field, Yiyang and Hayward, two young men who performed very well, embraced in the circle. After talking a few words, the two sides exchanged their jerseys.

Unlike the green field, in the basketball world, there seems to be no tradition of "exchanging" jerseys after the game. Moreover, the whereabouts of the NBA players' jerseys after the game are all planned in advance. This also indicates that Hayward and Yiyang will exchange jerseys with each other, and they will have to pay for the jerseys out of their own pockets.

But that still doesn't stop Yiyang and Hayward from acting, they respect each other and see each other as worthy opponents. What is the money for a jersey?

"You played well today, buddy. You are lucky." Hayward, who lost the game, was a little unwilling, but at the same time he was glad that Sloan really gave him so many opportunities to perform today.

"Don't be so stubborn, Gordon is 10, next time we meet again, I will continue to draw points."

Since the Mavericks have to go to Sacramento to play back-to-back away games tomorrow, Yiyang has to hurry back to the locker room, after all, the Mavericks still have to catch a plane.

Therefore, the two of them broke up without talking a few words. The world of professional basketball is destined to make it impossible for these two young guys to have long and carefree conversations like before. Everyone has their own way to go, and there is no stopping.

Yiyang hastily pushed open the door of the locker room, fearing that he would make his teammates wait for a long time. However, when he pushed open the door, he found that his teammates had a bottle of Gatorade in their hands and poured all of them on Yiyang.

"Hahahaha, congratulations, boy, you beat Deron dizzy today!" Terry was naturally the one with the most "firepower".

"My best player was snatched away by you again, you made the donuts for tomorrow!" Dirk also joined in, giggling.

Carlisle, who was sitting in a chair, didn't urge his players. What's the problem with this group of outstanding lads relaxing a little bit?

"They make such a fuss, can we still catch the plane?" The assistant coach Stotts looked at the players who had a good time and couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"It's okay, let them make trouble. These guys have their own measure." Carlisle smiled, and in the dense NBA schedule, he still allowed it in the short time to celebrate the victory.

The Mavericks are full of joy, but the Jazz's home locker room is very depressing.

Sloan did not lose his temper today, but sat in the locker room without saying a word. This also led to the players not daring to speak, but also not daring to leave. In this atmosphere, Sloan was furious and uncomfortable.

"Maybe I should choose to leave like you, old man." Sloan thought of the late old Miller, but no one would care what the old man was muttering...

※※※

Another back-to-back away game, another back-to-back. This fast-paced life of running around the United States and playing games made Yiyang, a rookie, feel a little tired.

Fortunately, the Sacramento Kings are not a strong team, and they have just returned to Sacramento, and they are also fighting back to back today.

The king, who was brutally abused by the Lakers yesterday, must have low morale today. If nothing else, it will not be difficult for the Mavericks to win 9 consecutive victories in Sacramento.

During the adaptive training that afternoon, the players were not in good condition. But looking at the Kings' half court again, it seems that they are equally divided.

The coach of the Kings, Paul Westphal, did not have a good solution for this. This group of players is too young to fight tough battles. They just lost to the Lakers yesterday, and today there is another Mavericks with a better record. The game has not actually started yet, and most of the suspense has been lost.

Looking at the bleak occupancy of the Sleepy Train Arena and the large vacancy in the commentary booth, it seems that everyone thinks that this will be a one-sided game.

However, the process of the game was beyond everyone's expectations.

The Kings hopeful, last year's Rookie of the Year, Tyreke Ace, acted like a true superstar.

This guy shot suddenly, and frequently hit outside the three-point line, playing the Mavericks in a mess.

If there is only one Ace, then the Kings are not terrible. But the team's little-known power forward Dante Green embarrassed the exhausted Nowitzki today!

Dante Green grabbed 6 offensive rebounds today and scored 10 points in the penalty area by using the opportunity of the second attack.

And the Mavericks' outrageously low hit rate on the outside kept the Kings clinging to points.

Fortunately, Yiyang became Nowitzki's right-hand man again today. Against Slonia defender Benno Udry, Yiyang's advantage in athletic ability was fully reflected.

Originally, the Kings' defense was abysmal, but after Yiyang broke through Udrih, there were basically no obstacles. Although the rookie forward Cousins, who was in the same class as Yiyang, was very active, but his impetuous defense more often only became a springboard for Yiyang to stand at the free throw line.

In the end, Nowitzki's 25 points and Yiyang's 23 points, the second highest in the game, helped the Mavericks escape in Sacramento without any danger. After the game, Carlisle was still in shock when he shook hands with Westphal. Because the score of the game was 9593, the Mavericks won the game by only two points. If the game time is extended by another minute, the Mavericks' winning streak may really be broken.

Yiyang's performance of 23 points, 7 assists, 1 steal and 2 turnovers is still outstanding. It can be said that without him, the exhausted Mavericks would not be able to win.

When Yiyang hits bright numbers again, Mavericks fans will no longer be surprised by it. Because, this is just Yiyang's routine performance. This guy's status in the fans' hearts is no longer as simple as an ordinary rookie.

In Sacramento, the Mavericks finally won their ninth straight game. And it is only one step away from the hurdle of 10 consecutive victories.

I don't know if it's the will of the emperor, but if they want to win ten consecutive victories, the Mavericks must defeat their mortal enemy three days later.

Three years ago, the Golden State Warriors who had humiliated the "sex" defeated the Mavericks in the playoffs and completed the black eight!

Although the Golden State Warriors today are quite different from those at the beginning, Nowitzki and others and the fans of the Mavericks have not forgotten the humiliation of the Black Eight.

For Yiyang personally, playing against the Warriors is also a big challenge.

Starting from Udrih today, the Warriors' two young double guns Monta Ellis and Stephen Curry in the backcourt will not let Yiyang pass the test so easily.

The fateful duel between the Mavericks and the Warriors made them meet at the hurdle of ten consecutive victories.

Presumably, the "cowboys" who return to the home court in three days will definitely have a warm "welcome ceremony".
