One Guard

Chapter 180: Battlefield: Los Angeles

Nowitzki looked at his phone, it was already 12:30 in the morning, but Yiyang on the training ground didn't seem to want to stop at all.

This guy has been practicing extra shooting since the end of the game, and Nowitzki was able to practice extra shooting with Yiyang at the beginning. But in the end, the Germans were already exhausted, but Yiyang was still full of energy. Regardless of the fact that shooting is the most basic technical action in basketball, continuous shooting is also a huge test of a player's physical fitness.

"Tomorrow morning, there may be a lot of media coming out to ridicule us." Nowitzki, who was sitting on the sidelines, chatted with Yiyang, who was on the court. Remembering that he scored 7 points with a 25% shooting rate, the Germans can probably guess the unsightly headlines in newspapers and websites tomorrow.

"It doesn't matter, when we win the game, they will always shut up." Yiyang doesn't care what the outside world thinks of the Mavericks or himself, he only knows that the team can't continue to lose. As for the media, those guys always have a lot to say, and they don't have to be responsible anyway.

"Tomorrow we are going to Los Angeles, and that will be a tough battle." Thinking that he will soon fight that paranoid Kobe the day after tomorrow, the German couldn't help but hold his forehead.

"The Lakers are amazing." Yiyang seldom admits that his opponents are very strong. After all, he was a fan of the Los Angeles Lakers before he became a professional player. "But we're not without a chance to win."

Nowitzki looked at Yiyang, did that guy know what he was talking about? Defeat the defending champion, defeat Kobe Bryant? In his mouth, it seems to be an easy thing. But after thinking about it, Yiyang is such a guy. Even if you move out the dynasty bull in his prime, he won't be bluffed.

"By the way, the boss of the game the day after tomorrow may even form a lineup with two point guards. At that time, you may face Kobe directly."

Hearing what Nowitzki said, Yiyang's eyes lit up...

※※※

Nowitzki is right, when people wake up overnight, most of what they see when they open their eyes are news reports about the Mavericks. Of course, most of these reports have only one theme, which is to criticize the big defeat of the Mavericks against the Grizzlies yesterday!

"Facing a team on the verge of the playoffs, the Mavericks actually lost their underwear. This is the Dallas Mavericks. They are always soft at critical moments. Don't forget, the Mavericks were blacked out by the Spurs last season. Eliminated. I am not optimistic about this team, they can't fight tough battles. They always lose the chain at critical moments and can't go far in the playoffs."

"Los Angeles Lakers? I can only pray Kobe doesn't take it too easy or it messes with his nature.

Can you long for the Mavericks to beat the Los Angeles Lakers? Just relying on a rookie from China? "

"Instead of watching the Mavericks being played around by the Lakers, I might as well watch the game between the Jazz and the Wizards. At least the Wizards will not be crushed by the Jazz."

"We all know that Dirk has just returned from injury, and it's normal for him not to be able to find his form. But the Mavericks can't do anything when Dirk's state is not good. Such a team that relies on stars in the transition, can do it again in the playoffs." How far do you go?"

 …

Sure enough, almost all of the Dallas Mavericks' "criticism conferences" were overwhelming. If the Mavericks players' mental quality is not good, they may be directly drowned by these saliva.

No matter how brilliant your previous achievements are, when you fail, everyone will point their guns at you. This is the cruel world of the NBA. In this world, history is worthless, and only ready-made victories are your capital to speak.

Tomorrow, the Mavericks will go to Los Angeles to challenge the mighty Zijin Army. It would be too wasteful to waste this precious time in verbal battles with the media.

Under the leadership of Carlisle, everyone in the Mavericks is making every effort to train. As for the NBA's official media opening hours, Carlisle allowed a few fringe players to deal with the media.

This kind of "encounter" naturally made the reporters very upset. They couldn't get the news, so they started to create "news" with their own imagination.

"Dike and Yiyang can't cooperate?"

"Carlisle yelled at Nowitzki for sleepwalking!"

"The Mavericks practice poorly because of him!"

It has to be said that the American media are far inferior to the Chinese online editors when it comes to brain-filling news.

But as long as there is a market, these news are not afraid that no one will read them. The news can be as bizarre as the fans want it to be.

In half a day, the contradictions in the Mavericks locker room turned into a well-known fact in the entire league.

Even Kobe, who was preparing for the game in Los Angeles, couldn't help picking up his phone and flipping through the news.

Of course, Kobe didn't treat these words as news at all. To him, each piece of news is simply more exciting than a novel!

"Okay, let's practice defense again!" After reading these "news", Kobe put down his phone, stood in the middle of the training ground, and was anxious for everyone to gather. ..

"You can't believe a word of these bullshit media! Tomorrow's game, everyone must do their best! The Dallas Mavericks are not soft!" Kobe waved his arm. The No. 24 in Los Angeles is not an idiot!

※※※

7th, an ordinary Monday, for most people, today is the beginning of a new week and the beginning of a painful working day.

But for Mavericks fans, today was more than just an ordinary Monday. They are all waiting for this battle to play out, and they are all waiting for the Mavericks to get back on track in Los Angeles.

Mavericks fans are not the only ones who are looking forward to this game. Kobe Bryant himself has already been excited before the game.

Kobe still remembered that a few days ago, a reporter asked him what he thought of the price that Coach Carlisle offered Yiyang.

At that time, Yiyang's price tag was two James, or Kobe, Gasol and Bynum. Kobe naturally didn't think much about the rationality of this question, after all, it was just a joke by Carlisle. But this problem made the general of the Purple and Gold Army start to notice the Mavericks' third pick.

After watching Yiyang's match video, Kobe really appreciates Yiyang's strength. A guard who can organize the team's offense in an orderly manner in his rookie season is really rare in this world.

Therefore, Kobe has been looking forward to playing against the Mavericks. But this is not because of Nowitzki, but because of Yiyang! This guy who is so thirsty for victory is almost perverted, no matter you are a rookie or not, as long as it is an enemy worthy of his attention, he will try his best to defeat it!

"Paul, Andrew, you guys have to perform well today. If we lose, the three of us may be sent away." In the locker room, Kobe also joked with Gasol and Bynum. The fact that Yiyang was the three of them had already spread in the locker room. Kobe's words also caused everyone to laugh.

At this moment, Phil Jackson with serious face and gray hair walked into the locker room. It can be seen that the experienced "Zen Master" like Kobe, is very concerned about the incoming Dallas Mavericks. Although the Mavericks have always won or lost since January, they have not played a long winning streak. But I have to admit that the Mavericks are still one of the best teams in the league.

"If you guys lost today, maybe I would really do that!" Phil Jackson obviously heard Kobe's joke just outside the door.

"Hey Phil, shall we still insist on defending Dirk?" Kobe casually communicated with "Zen Master". The relationship between the two is not like a coach and a player at all, but like a pair of friends.

"Of course, Paul, you must stick to the German on the defensive end today. He is not in good shape recently. As long as the defensive strength improves, that guy should not become a threat. As for the troublesome Chinese rookie in the Mavericks... ’” Jackson said, eyes falling on Bryant.

"Use your attack to destroy him!"

Yiyang was about to put on his jersey when he found his phone vibrated. He turned on his mobile phone and saw that it was Vignali who sent him a cheering text message again.

The two sides haven't seen each other for a long time since Vignali was injured and stopped racing to come to the United States last time. But the connection between the two has never been broken.

Vignali's text message was nothing special, it was still about cheering Yiyang up. But thinking of a girl watching his game in front of the TV in the middle of the night, Yiyang felt a little grateful.

Putting the phone away, Yiyang opened the cabinet and saw the Lakers championship commemorative baseball cap that Stevens gave him for Christmas the year before last. This time for the away game, Yiyang intentionally brought this hat.

Of course, Yiyang didn't want to ask Kobe for his signature with this hat. He wears the hat just to keep reminding himself. The Lakers are the defending champions, and Kobe is his idol! So today, no matter what, I must do my best to win the game!

"Okay guys, let's review the tactics we practiced yesterday!" Carlisle clapped his hands, and everyone listened intently. After the humiliating loss to the Grizzlies, this battle of reputation has already begun from inside the locker room!

※※※

If you are a basketball fan, then when you see these names appearing on the court as your opponent at the same time, you may be a little dizzy, because you know what their strength represents.

Andrew Bynum, known as the "Little Shark", was the hero of the Lakers' two consecutive championships. The guy's explosive physicality allows him to open things up for the Lakers on both ends of the floor.

Pau Gasol, Spain, and the pride of the entire European basketball community. The combination of him and Kobe directly led to the current dominance of the Lakers in the league.

Ron Artest, the top one-on-one wing defender, the man who once dared to fight Kobe on the basketball court. The villain who once fought from the stadium to the audience and then back to the stadium from the audience. Now, he has also become Kobe's right-hand man.

Derek Fisher, the point guard who knows the triangle offense best in the league. 9 members of the golden generation, and also the only veteran player in the team who has experienced the glory of the "K" period.

Of course, there is the scariest guy, Kobe Bryant. The leader of the Zijin Legion continues to create brilliance with the ancient giants of Los Angeles on his back. As long as the "Black Mamba" is present, the Lakers will always be full of fighting spirit and will not be afraid of any opponent. His opponents have always hated him, and they can't even kill this guy. But you have to know that on the basketball court, he is the "God of Death" who holds a sickle and dominates life and death!

When the players from both sides stepped onto the court, when Yiyang on the bench saw five people wearing golden jerseys standing in front of him, he took a deep breath.

In the battle of Los Angeles, you can either win vigorously or die terribly!
