One Guard

Tyson Chandler 14+20, Nowitzki 25+8, Marion 14+4, Yiyang 18+8. The Mavericks used a near-perfect performance at home to turn the total score of the series into 4-1.

So far, the "soft persimmon", which was originally not expected by people, has become the second team in the league to advance to the second round of the series after the Celtics.

In addition to sitting on the home field advantage, the early promotion to the second round also means that the Mavericks players get more rest time than the next opponent.

Currently, the defending champion Lakers ranked second in the Western Conference and the Hornets ranked seventh in the Western Conference are still in a fierce battle. The winner of these two teams will be the opponent of the Mavericks in the next round. However, neither "Queen Bee" Paul nor "Black Mamba" Kobe is a "good" opponent for the Mavericks.

Although the series with the Trail Blazers is over, Carlisle has to continue to study the game tapes of the Lakers and Hornets. For this academic coach, winning the first round is just the beginning of hard work.

But the players of the Mavericks don't have to get into work right now. Now, the Lakers and Hornets are tied 2-2, that is to say, no matter who will qualify in the end, both teams still have at least two games to play. According to nba's official game arrangement, the Mavericks players will also get at least 5 days of rest.

So Carlisle, a coach who believed his players could play better by relaxing, decided to give his players a day off the day after the series win.

Of course, the holidays belong to the holidays, and Carlisle still has the basic rules. For example, you are not allowed to leave Dallas on the day of the holiday, you are not allowed to drink alcohol, you are not allowed to overeat, and you are not allowed to ride a motorcycle.

Of course, generally speaking, the players who made it to the playoffs would not do such a thing, not to mention that the goal of everyone in the Mavericks is the championship.

"Hey, also, come with me to go fishing at Baiyan Lake tomorrow." After the game, they returned to the locker room. When Carlisle announced that tomorrow would be a holiday, the players began to invite each other. After all, a rare day of vacation should not be wasted like this. Nowitzki called Yiyang first, hoping that he could go to the lake with him to relax tomorrow.

"Tomorrow...I'm afraid it won't work tomorrow, Dirk." Yiyang shook his head shyly.

"Hahahahaha, did you hear that Dirk, you were rejected mercilessly." Terry, who was sitting in the cabinet next to Yiyang, laughed deliberately.

Nowitzki rolled his eyes at Terry, who was deliberately making trouble, and continued. "You can bring Vignelli with you, it's fine."

"No, it's not Vignali. Mr. Bill Duffy just sent me a text message, saying that Adidas will hold a dinner in Dallas tomorrow. As its spokesperson, I must attend." Yiyang held up his phone helplessly. The text message from Bill Duffy was on the screen. It was not easy to have a holiday, and it just went to waste.

"Business dinner? God, then I can only wish you luck." As one of the greatest basketball players in Europe, Nowitzki has participated in countless business dinners. What he has in common with these dinner parties can be summed up in one word: boring.

The top executives of various companies will tout each other at the business dinner and talk about business by the way. Some politicians will also show up at the dinner in an attempt to break into the business world. Or a businessman trying to break into politics. As for brand spokespersons like Yiyang and the others, they are usually just there to support the scene. After all, if there are not many stars in a high-end dinner, it seems that there will always be something missing.

so,

Sports stars or entertainment stars usually look a little out of place at such a dinner party. But you can't express dissatisfaction yet, and you have to wear an official smile on your face throughout the dinner.

"When you signed the contract with Adidas, was there such a clause in the contract? If not, you can ask your manager to politely refuse it." Thinking of what Yiyang will face tomorrow, Nowitzki immediately told him My little brother made a move.

"It's a pity, Dirk. It was written in the contract that I should attend at least three such dinner parties. My manager thought that attending such dinner parties would expand my network, so he didn't refuse the offer." Now Yiyang finally understood, Why is something like attending a dinner party written into the contract.

"Then...have fun. Well, I hope..." Nowitzki's sympathetic expression made Yiyang even more afraid of tomorrow night.

"... What makes us very interested is that the one who won the best sixth man and achieved such an achievement in the playoffs is actually just a rookie! Although there are talented young people everywhere Yes, but compared with Wall, Derek Rose and others, his complexion is so special..."

On the TV, programs related to Yiyang are being played. Several hosts are using wonderful language and rich body movements to tell the incredible moments of Yiyang.

Now during the playoffs, the Mavericks advanced to the second round yesterday. So, maybe half of the ten local TV stations in Dallas are talking about basketball.

"Take off your clothes." While Yiyang was sitting on the sofa watching TV, Vignelli, who was only wrapped in a towel, came out of the bathroom.

The water on Vignali's body has not been completely dried, and her hair is also wet. At this moment, a thin bath towel is the only cover for this Italian girl. Seeing this, Yiyang swallowed.

"Undress?"

"Hurry up and take off your current clothes and put on a suit? You won't just go to the dinner party like this. Although I don't want to, but this kind of business dinner, it's better for us to dress formally." Vigna Li smiled and brushed her hair.

Yiyang blushed, so that's the case, what was he thinking just now!

Yiyang just learned this morning that Vignali, who stayed in Dallas to watch Yiyang's game, was also invited by Adidas. As one of the spokespersons of Adidas, will go to the dinner party.

So this afternoon, Yiyang came to the hotel where Vignali was staying, and the two of them would set off together later.

When Yiyang came to the room, Vignali went to take a shower, and then Yiyang watched TV on the sofa. But during this period, Yiyang's attention was not on the TV at all...

"But... I didn't bring my suit." For a poor kid who came out of a slum, don't expect Yiyang to have any idea about business dinners. Moreover, Yiyang doesn't really like to wear formal clothes.

"I knew it, so I bought it and put it on the bed, you can change it in your room." Vignali said and climbed onto the sofa, her face was getting closer and closer to Yiyang, the Italian girl who only had a little cover at this time Just like a sultry kitten.

The lips of the two lightly touched each other, and Yiyang suddenly "bounced" off the sofa as if he had been electrocuted.

"Then... I'm going to change clothes." Yiyang stammered into the suite bedroom and closed the door. Looking at the mysterious protrusions on his pants, Yiyang shook his head vigorously.

"Also" when Yiyang was half dressed, Vignali's voice came from outside the door. "Remember to wear a bow tie, I put it on the bedside table."

"oh oh......"

After a while, Yiyang came out of the bedroom, wearing a black suit and a black bow tie on the white shirt collar. Under the loose trousers, she stepped on a pair of clean and shiny black leather shoes. Of course, for Yiyang, this is far less comfortable than basketball shoes. "I think I look stupid now." Yiyang stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself with open arms.

"No, you look so good! Believe me, those guys at the banquet today will be surprised!" Vignali approached Yiyang with a smile, and straightened the collar of his shirt for him.

It was only at this time that Yiyang discovered that Vignali had already changed into a black evening dress. In the past, I was used to seeing Vignali wearing loose basketball uniforms, but when this Italian girl put on a dress, she didn't violate the harmony at all.

Vignali is worthy of being a model, so she doesn't have her inappropriate dressing style.

"We're going out, too. We can't be the last ones to arrive."

Yiyang bent down like what he saw on TV before, and then stretched out his hand like Vignali. "Please, miss."

"Hahahaha, you're a quick learner!" Vignali put her hand on Yiyang's palm gracefully, and the two looked like a noble couple.

Driving a Ford pickup, Yiyang and Vignali arrived at the place where the dinner was held in a short while.

At the entrance of the hotel, a waiter stopped Yiyang's car. This kind of high-end hotel usually has a parking service. You just need to get out of the car, give the key to the waiter, and then forget about anything.

It can be seen from the surprised eyes of the parking boy that he has seen countless luxury cars today, and he has been deeply attracted by this "heavy tank". After all, it might be the most unique car he's seen today.

On both sides of the entrance of the hotel, it was crowded with the media who had heard the news and the fans who were looking forward to it. After all, today, not only Yiyang and Vignali, but also some entertainment stars will gather here. Adidas' spokesperson lineup is not limited to sports stars.

When Yiyang appeared in front of the public with Vignari in his arms, the flash lights that had stopped for a while just started to get busy again and flashed together.

This is not the first time Vignali has appeared on this occasion, and she smiled skillfully at the reporters. But Yiyang, this guy walked into the hotel door with a poker face on his face.

After the two entered the hotel, the person in charge of the Adidas Dallas branch warmly greeted Yiyang and Vignali, and introduced them to many guests who came to the dinner.

Among them, there are movie stars, oil tycoons, and handsome politicians.

Yiyang was always smiling, but in fact, this had already made his face stiff.

After saying hello in a circle, Yiyang stood in the middle of the crowd with a glass of juice. As for Vignali, she had to leave Yiyang temporarily, and spend a while with the celebrities she knew well.

Yiyang doesn't like the false associations created by people in the Hall of Brilliance for their own benefit, and he doesn't want to take the initiative to get to know people who have nothing to do with his career. Yiyang would rather listen to the shouts of tens of thousands of people on the court at the same time, and he could not bear the faint noise at the dinner party.

So Yiyang went to the balcony by himself, watching the night view of Dallas, and blowing some air by the way.

"Yeah, it looks like you didn't have much fun." Just when Yiyang was bored, a man walked towards Yiyang.
