One Guard

During the Christmas period, many shopping malls will hold large-scale promotional activities. No matter how frugal people are usually, at this time, the whole family will rush into the shopping malls to make big purchases. . For more latest chapters visit: ШЩЩ.⑦⑨XS.сОМ. The exaggerated picture of tens of thousands of people queuing up to wait for the mall to open and then rush in to sell out the goods is a true portrayal of the crazy shopping of Americans on Christmas.

Although the temperature in Dallas has now reached the lowest time of the year, the low temperature still cannot stop people's enthusiasm for shopping. ?The shops in the business district of Dallas are brightly lit, and all the shops have advertised discounts and discounts, attracting more customers to shop. This time of year is the peak season for people's consumption.

Yiyang watched people carrying packages pass by him one by one, and the frenzied festive atmosphere completely surrounded this black-haired and yellow-skinned guy. The holidays are like this, no matter how many unhappy and unsatisfactory things happened in the past year, people believe that those have passed and a new page is about to be turned.

Yiyang and his mother are naturally part of the shopping mall, but after shopping for a long time, they still have nothing in their hands.

If it's for them to buy things for themselves, then Yiyang doesn't know how to write. But Yiyang is not very good at picking gifts for others.

After all, having lived in this world for so long, Yiyang has never had the experience of giving gifts to others.

"How about... let's give each of the three brothers of the Mudiay family a set of basketball equipment." Walking to the door of the Adidas store with his own poster hanging, Yiyang stopped in his footsteps .

"What about their mother?" Wen Xue was also a little distressed, she couldn't give her a scarf as well. Last night when the Mudiay family came to dinner, the little Mudiay's mother gave Wen Xue and Yiyang scarves, which were woven by others.

"Their mother...maybe, a Christmas potted plant?" Yi Yang was also undecided.

Not just the Mudiay family, but the Nowitzki family, Terry, Kidd, Hayward, Stevens, and Vignelli...Although Yiyang did not intend to give Everyone returned the salute, but these few people were absolutely unavoidable.

However, choosing gifts for each of them is enough to give Yiyang a headache for a while. He would rather think about where to pass the ball in the last 2 seconds, and he doesn't want to think about whether it is better to give Terry a lighter or a leather jacket.

In this way, the mother and son circled the field several times. It took two hours to finally get everyone's gifts ready.

For other people's gifts, Yiyang entrusts the store to send them directly to the door of other people's homes. But for the gifts for the Nowitzki family, the two naturally had to bring them in person.

Nowitzki's villa is located on the shore of White Rock Lake.

This is the largest wealthy area in Dallas. Therefore, Nowitzki's neighbors are not simple characters.

When Wen Xue got out of the car and looked around the beautiful community again, she remembered a time when she was wandering here and was stopped by fans for a group photo. Unexpectedly, now she and her son would come to this kind of place to visit friends.

Yiyang looked up at the windows of Nowitzki's house, the curtains were drawn, and the warm orange light made the whole house look very cozy. The snowman with the crooked nose at the door of the house is Dirk's masterpiece at first glance.

The mother and son stepped forward and rang the doorbell. As soon as the 'door' opened, Yiyang saw Nowitzki with his sleeves rolled up. Apparently, the big, tall guy had just been busy in the kitchen.

"Merry Christmas! Also!" As soon as the 'door' opened, Nowitzki embraced Yiyang warmly, and then saluted Yiyang's mother in a gentlemanly manner.

"Merry Christmas, ma'am."

After walking into the 'door' of the house, the mother and son and Nowitzki's family greeted each other. This family gives Yiyang the feeling that they are all "long"!

That's right, the word "long" couldn't be better. Nowitzki's mother was a professional basketball player, and Dirk's first basketball teacher was her.

Although his father did not play basketball, he was a professional handball player. But his figure is no worse than that of a basketball player.

As for Nowitzki's older sister, she is the only member of the family who is not a professional athlete. But thanks to the genes of his parents, Dirk's sister is also very tall. Although she is not an athlete, her career is also related to professional sports. Dirk's sister is a staff member of an international TV station, specializing in reporting NBA news.

The dinner went very harmoniously, the two families exchanged gifts with each other, and people chatted very happily at the dinner table.

Dirk's father seemed to be very interested in everything in China, and he thought that everyone in China was as good at fighting as Bruce Lee.

Dirk's mother was very shocked by Wen Xue's experience, and the two women chatted very speculatively, although their English was a bit broken.

As for Nowitzki and Yiyang, after the two men finished their meal, they walked to the balcony where no one was there. Even though it was the Christmas holiday, there were still some work matters that had to be discussed.

"How is it? During the time in the Mavericks, everything is okay." Holding a glass of red wine, Nowitzki looked at the Baiyan Lake in the distance, and half of the lake was covered with snow.

"'Pretty' is not bad." Yiyang's answer was still simple, not even a change in tone.

"Have you seen the media's comments on you?" Nowitzki refers to the many reports he saw this morning. It seems that people agree that he will become the future leader of the Mavericks after Dirk.

After all, this first-year rookie has been performing well in the past two months since the start of the new season. If nothing else, Yiyang's growth will be worthy of his selection in the "Flower" show.

After listening, Yiyang nodded slightly. "Over and over again, isn't it all those words."

Nowitzki smiled, Yiyang is different from many rookies. This guy never seems to care whether there are reporters paying attention, nor does he care about questions from the media. ??Doesn't care if he is popular or not, and what people think of him. Whether it is anticipation or disappointment, he never thinks about these things that have nothing to do with him.

This guy has only two things on his mind, family and basketball. It is precisely because of this that Dirk agrees with those remarks in the media. Maybe "handing over" the Mavericks to him would really be an option.

"Do you know, after this year, I will be 33 years old. 33 years old, this is not a lucky age for a professional athlete." Dirk's gaze retracted from Baiyan Lake, and fell It reached the face of the Chinese in front of him.

"Jason is almost 40 years old, isn't he still starting? You are still young."

"Pfft!" Nowitzki almost couldn't hold back his laughter. This silent guy sometimes speaks unexpectedly funny.

"Seriously, also. I may be overwhelmed to step down at any time and give you the position of leader. You also know that our lineup is no longer young. Every year a professional player gets older, his physical condition will turn upside down Change. I also want to be like the Spurs, don't have to go through rebuilding, the next leader will come naturally. And you, also, if you want, Cuban will fully support you, Mavericks fans will always love you. I mean... I hope you can stay in Dallas forever, this is destined to be a team that belongs to you." The gathering of the Heat's Big Three this summer gave Nowitzki a great impact. He knew that Yiyang, who showed 'color', would sooner or later become a favorite in the eyes of other team managers. And in this extremely utilitarian era, there are very few leading stars who will be loyal to their teams.

The Mavericks have lost too many good point guards. Once Kidd, Nash, and even Devon Harris.

On Cuban's side, Nowitzki will naturally talk about it. After all, the fate of a player cannot be decided by the player alone. But Dirk had to make sure that Yiyang didn't want to leave.

"My rookie contract has only been executed for two months, Dirk." Yiyang smiled, but Nowitzki looked serious, as if he didn't want to end the topic so hastily.

"I just...hope to fight with you all the time, do you understand what I mean?" After finally seeing a player who can represent both the present and the future, Dirk really doesn't want to lose such a teammate . When his own group of people is getting old, Dirk really doesn't want to see the Mavericks relying on poor performance to complete the reconstruction. If Yiyang can play for the Mavericks for a long time, then the Mavericks may really be able to skip the rebuilding stage and complete the replacement directly.

"I don't care so much about the position of leader. I have never been a leader. Money and victory are very important, but they are not the most important part. I just hope to play for the team I like." Yiyang did not give Nuo directly. Nowitzki's answer, but in Nowitzki's ears, this is already a good answer. With Cuban here, Dirk can guarantee that the Mavericks will become Yiyang's favorite team forever!

Nowitzki in a good mood raised his wine glass, looking through the red wine glass at the face of the prospect, Dirk seemed to see the hope of the rise of the Mavericks.

"Merry Christmas." Raising his wine glass, Dirk drank the liquid in the glass.

First Yao Ming, now Dirk. Yiyang didn't know why these two great insiders would bother about other things for their own sake.

Yao Ming is no longer a player of the Chinese national team, and Nowitzki is just a player of the Mavericks. The future fate of the Chinese national team and the Mavericks has nothing to do with them. But both of them are thinking about their own team. Even in the future many years later, they are no longer playing for their favorite teams.

Perhaps, this is the so-called leader, this is the so-called true love for the team.

Yiyang looked at the distance thoughtfully, and the shore of Baiyan Lake was already covered in white. Leader and love, for the things that these two words carry, it is not easy at all...

Can I become a guy like them? Yiyang doesn't know, but he is already full of beautiful yearning for this sense of responsibility.
