One Guard

The one-day vacation did let Yiyang relax physically and mentally. The bloody battle with the Trail Blazers has completely become a thing of the past, and now Yiyang is using a brand new mentality to meet the next challenge.

Not only Yiyang, but the entire Mavericks team seems to be like this. After a day of training after returning from the holiday, the players of the Mavericks did not relax because of this, but they practiced even better.

"Yeah, how was the business dinner yesterday?" During the break of training, Nowitzki leaned over to Yiyang and asked curiously about Yiyang's experience last night.

"It's okay, it's boring. However, I talked to the producers of the nba2k series of games, and they want me to be a cover spokesperson."

"Then you have gained something. I read the newspaper. Did Vignali go with you yesterday?" Nowitzki asked, which suddenly caught Terry's attention.

The old boy immediately came over and looked at Yiyang a few times. "Boy, yesterday...didn't come home!"

"Of course I'm home!" Yiyang answered quickly, and then ran to the training ground with the basketball in his arms to shoot.

Seeing Yiyang's reaction, Terry and Nowitzki smiled at each other, this guy can't even lie.

Since the Hornets and the Lakers have not yet decided the outcome, Carlisle also made two-handed preparations.

Now, the Mavericks players have to practice two sets of tactics against two different opponents. In order to win, they must be fully prepared.

In other words, in the next few days, Yiyang and the others will train very hard.

After the training that day, Carlisle also led everyone into the tactical meeting room. In the past few days, he watched a lot of videos of the Lakers and Hornets games, and he also adjusted some of the opponent's more classic tactics for the players to watch.

"The series between the two sides is very fierce. The current score is 3 to 2, and the Los Angeles Lakers have won the match point. But I can't guarantee that Kobe will be able to lead the team out of the tight encirclement. Because of this series of Chris Paul The performance in the game was simply perfect!" Carlisle said, pressing the play button on the remote control. The picture projected by the projector on the screen immediately moved. At this time, it was Paul who was holding the ball.

"Paul averaged 22 points, 6.7 rebounds and 11.5 assists per game in this series. In the playoff series, there were only three people in history, namely Michael Jordan, "Magic Division "Johnson and Steve Nash."

Hearing what Carlisle said, Yiyang couldn't help clenching his fists. If the Hornets really counterattack the Lakers to win, then it is really a challenge to play against Chris Paul.

Although Yiyang also played against Paul during the regular season, he knew that Paul did not show his full strength during the regular season. But in the playoffs where the championship is decided, Paul will not be relentless.

"But the Hornets are not invincible. If we meet the Hornets. Well, first of all, I want you to do a good job of defending against Chris Paul. Second, I want everyone to focus on the inside of the offensive end! Inside, yes The weakest point of the Hornets." Carlisle pressed the remote control in his hand, and the picture on the screen immediately changed to the scene of the Lakers attacking the Hornets' basket to score easily.

"Landry and Okafor, these two are insiders who are more offensive than defensive. As long as we seize the opportunity of the inside, we can gain a great advantage."

"But if our opponent is the Los Angeles Lakers..." Carlisle said,

He helped himself to his forehead.

"Then, there is no shortcut. Fighting with these guys is the only way to win!"

Yiyang stared at the curtain, and Kobe's resolute expression appeared on the screen. Playing the playoffs with a guy like Kobe? What a nightmare!

The day after tomorrow is the last game against the Hornets. As soon as Kobe arrived at the training ground, Phil Jackson greeted him.

"The day after tomorrow, let Bynum hold the ball more." Although Jackson is the coach of this team, but in the Lakers, any tactical changes of the coach must let Kobe know in advance.

"It's okay, I can still play." Kobe said, picked up the basketball in the frame and shot it.

At this time, Kobe's physical condition was not good. His right index finger was injured, and it was still wrapped in gauze. The left ankle was also sprained to some extent. These things will affect Kobe's performance on the basketball court to a large extent.

If it were someone else, maybe the truce would have been long ago. But Kobe... Sometimes Phil Jackson even suspects that he is not human at all!

"Listen, no matter what, I want you to stay healthy. Without you, even if we pass the first round, it will be useless in the end!" Jackson warned Kobe righteously, his tone sounding unquestionable.

However, Kobe, who was shooting the basket on the court, just smiled. "Don't worry, Phil, I still want to play with that kid. The game against the Mavericks must be very interesting, and I won't miss it."

Jackson shook his head, turned and walked back to his office. The smile on Kobe's face disappeared instantly, and this guy became that paranoid "Black Mamba" again.

Of course we will beat the Hornets and enter the second round of the playoffs. Then beat the Mavericks and move on. In the end, it doesn't matter who the opponent is, whether it's the Heat or the Celtics. The championship belongs to the Lakers!

Kobe has no intention of giving up on the dream of building a dynasty with three consecutive championships!

Meanwhile, in New Orleans, the Smoothie King Center.

The atmosphere on the training ground was very solemn, even to the point of depression. Hornets leader "Queen Bee" Chris Paul had a gloomy face, as if there were always dark clouds above his head. The usual chatter and laughter during training were all gone at this moment.

Paul had a gloomy face, and no one on the training ground dared to talk too much. Just kidding, the Hornets, a group of guys who are not considered stars, dare to hit the gun when the team boss is in a bad mood.

Originally, the Hornets were expected to hit the top three in the Western Conference this season. However, Paul's injury caused the Hornets to fall quickly.

After Paul returned from injury and tried his best, he barely pulled the Hornets to seventh in the Western Conference.

But what was even more unfortunate was that the Mavericks, who were originally ranked second in the Western Conference, suddenly dropped to third in the last month of the regular season, so Chris Paul had to lead his team to an early encounter with the defending champion Lakers.

The Mavericks were the opponent Paul had fancyed at the beginning. For him, neither the old Kidd nor the too young Yiyang will bring him too much trouble.

Until now, Paul still thinks so. So, as long as the Los Angeles Lakers are defeated, then the Dallas Mavericks will be taken as a matter of course. Then, the Western Conference Finals and even the Finals may become a reality for Paul!

So, the guy just kept silent and sweated silently on the training ground. The day after tomorrow's match must not be lost!

After a one-day holiday, the situation in the entire league immediately became tense again. As for Yiyang and the Mavericks, they have already been closely watched by the two tycoons.

give up? Of course not. No matter how strong the Lakers and Hornets are, Yiyang will let them know that we are not weak!

Three teams, three completely different destinies. I don't know in the end, which of these three teams will compete for a seat in the Western Conference Finals?

The Mavericks have to get ready, the two beasts in the jungle have cast their eyes on them...
