One Guard

Chapter 353: Personnel Change

Genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! The 2011 Asian Championships came to an end with Yiyang's excellent performance and the Chinese team winning the championship. Whether it is against Yiyang For the Chinese team, this is a perfect ending.

After the Asian Championships, Yiyang did not return to Beijing with his teammates holding the championship gold cup. Yi Yang was not interested in those celebration dinners organized by the organization. On the second day after winning the championship, Yi Yang said goodbye to the team, and then took his mother Wen Xue to another place for sightseeing.

Neither the Chinese Basketball Association nor the General Administration of Sports interfered much with Yiyang's failure to return to Beijing with the team. If it was replaced by other players, they would definitely be furious. But for Yiyang, who can help the Chinese team gain a firm foothold in the world in the next ten years or even longer, they don't dare to mess with him.

Yiyang himself is not a player born in the system, so Yiyang has the right to refuse every invitation from the Chinese national team after that. If it makes Yiyang unhappy and causes him to break with the Chinese national team, it will only be the Basketball Association and the General Administration of Sports themselves who will suffer. Therefore, when Yiyang wanted to leave the team, the Basketball Association not only did not stop it, but gave the green light all the way, and even booked air tickets for the mother and son.

In the next half month, Yiyang accompanied his mother to play all over China's great rivers and mountains. Of course, during this period, Yiyang also held a China tour with Adidas in Guangzhou. This time in Guangzhou, Yiyang finally let Yiyang know what an empty alley is.

Every morning, when he wakes up from the hotel and looks out the window, he always sees a dense crowd of fans gathered at the hotel entrance. This formation is no worse than when the Mavericks held the championship parade.

And Adidas also took advantage of this China tour to open the door to the Chinese market. Some economic experts even predict that after the first three-year contract between Yiyang and Adidas ends, Adidas is likely to directly offer Yiyang a super contract worth 200 million US dollars. After all, with Yiyang's help, Adidas will definitely be able to make a lot of money in the huge market of China. An investment of 200 million US dollars is not worth mentioning at all.

During the trip to China, Adidas even invited Vignelli from Italy to do activities with Yiyang. Although the two have never disclosed their relationship, fans know that there is something going on between Yiyang and Vignali. Therefore, this pair of basketball players has become the most popular rumored couple in the entire circle.

Adidas and Bill Duffy are firmly grasping the huge business opportunities. Half a month later, when Yiyang left China with his mother. The huge billboards in major first-tier cities in China are all occupied by posters of Yiyang and Adidas. This summer, Adidas and Yiyang set off a commercial frenzy in China.

When other players had to go overseas to play for a living due to the suspension of the league, Yi Yangguang already earned a lot of money by relying on the business activities he did while playing. This is the value behind a Chinese player, and people believe that Yiyang's commercial value will continue to rise with his subsequent outstanding performance.

After returning to the United States, Yiyang started his own preparations for the new season. Normally, the NBA should be ready to start preseason training camp by now. But because the labor negotiations still have no results, so now in mid-October, even Bill Duffy, a "know-it-all", doesn't know when the new season will start. The only thing he can tell Yiyang is that the league cannot allow the lockout to last too long. Every extra day that is delayed is a loss of hundreds of millions of dollars for the owners of 30 teams.

Even if the league and the team are for themselves, they will do whatever it takes to make the labor negotiations quickly reach an agreement.

During this period, the only thing Yiyang can do is to participate in various large and small training camps to maintain his state. During the Asian Championships, Yiyang maintained his physical condition very well. After returning to the United States, Yiyang needs to re-adapt to the intensity of physical confrontation in the United States.

As Aaron Brooks, Wilson Chandler and J.R. Smith and other NBA stars have joined the CBA gold rush,

The outside world's news about Yiyang's joining the CBA team is also intensifying.

Bill Duffy has indeed received offers from many CBA teams, and they all have an opt-out option in their contracts. In other words, once the NBA schedule resumes, Yiyang can terminate his contract with China at any time and return to play in the NBA. This kind of treatment is not even enjoyed by many American stars.

But Yiyang still rejected these teams one by one, and Duffy later issued a statement saying that Yiyang would not play in any league other than the NBA. Whether it is CBA or Europe, they will not go.

The reason is simple, Yiyang is not in a hurry to make money. The only thing he wants to do now is to continue to hone himself in the high-quality training camp in the United States.

Even Brickley, a young trainer, confessed. "I've never seen an NBA star so obsessed with summer training camp. No, it's already fall!"

Yiyang trained under Brickley for another month. Apart from shooting, Yiyang also mainly trained his physique this month. Now Yiyang's athletic ability is more powerful than last season, and his muscles are also stronger. Brickley believes that if Yiyang was just a super rookie last season, then next season, Yiyang will become a veritable super player.

In mid-November, Mavericks players attended a party where Peja officially announced his retirement. This gathering not only has members of the Mavericks, but many former Kings stars have also attended. Yiyang even saw NBA legend Chris Webber and his childhood idol "White Chocolate" Williams. Yiyang's astonishing elbow pass at the beginning was exactly imitating Williams.

It was not until November 25 that the NBA's new labor negotiations finally came together. On the afternoon of the same day, the NBA officially announced that the new NBA season will start on December 25. On December 1st, the NBA free agent market and transfer market will officially open!

After the league announced the end of the lockout, the Mavericks immediately recalled all players to start the summer training camp before the new season. No, now, it should be called winter training camp.

With full of enthusiasm and stronger skills, Yiyang returned to the American Airlines Center Arena with great interest. A new beginning will continue here!

※※※

On December 8, two weeks after the NBA officially announced the end of the lockout, the Mavericks' official preseason training camp finally started.

Yiyang drove his heavy-duty pickup into the stadium with great interest, and then excitedly pushed open the locker room door.

In the locker room, only Nowitzki was sorting out the equipment. Yiyang felt that something was wrong in the whole dressing room, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"God, where have you been this summer? How did you become so strong!?" Dirk's first feeling after seeing Yiyang was that the boy had grown stronger by more than a circle. Yiyang used to be thin and thin, but now, his physique is quite well-proportioned.

"Hey, the new season hasn't started yet, so I stayed in the training camp for an extra month. What about the others? Why haven't they come yet?" Yiyang looked around, but he found that on the cabinet that belonged to Chandler before, there was His name is gone.

At first, Yiyang didn't pay attention to it, he thought it was the stadium staff who dropped Chandler's name when cleaning the locker room. But when the training officially started that day, he still didn't see Chandler. Not only Chandler, but Barea, Stevenson and others also disappeared.

Curious, Yiyang went to Terry's side during the training break, ready to inquire about the whereabouts of these teammates. I haven't seen them for a summer, and Yiyang really misses them a little bit.

However, after hearing Yiyang ask this question, Terry opened his mouth in surprise. "Why, why are they not here, you don't know yet?"

"I know I'm still asking you?" Yiyang thought that Terry was joking with him again. Unexpectedly, Terry, an old and unruly guy, couldn't smile today.

"If it doesn't go well, yes. They will never come to the training." Terry's tone was very serious, and he didn't seem to be scaremongering.

"What are you talking about Jeter, even if they go overseas to play, they will always come back."

"No, Cuban has already given up on contract extensions with Tyson, Barea, and DeShawn in order to pursue Dwight Howard and other superstars next summer! If things really go like this, the next time you see the above three , you are opponents!"

"What? Opponent!?" Yiyang's mind suddenly went blank. The people who won the championship together a few months ago, how could they just leave? In the championship parade speech in June, Chandler also said that he would continue to stay in Dallas and win more and more championships. But this plan has not been implemented yet, is he going to leave?

There is also Deshaun Stevenson, the naughty No. 92 guard. Although he only played for Dallas for one year, Yiyang can see that Stevenson really likes the Mavericks team. The scene of him and James fighting each other in the finals is still vivid in Yi Yang's memory. Now that he finally won the honor he wanted, should he leave?

"That's right, boy, opponent! You gotta get used to that, rookie. NBA teams are so fluid that I might not even be able to sit in this gym and talk to you next month. Someone Come, someone will go, this is the basic law of the NBA. Even a great player like O’Neal, didn’t he change several teams in his career?”

"No, Cuban must have made a mistake!" Yi Yang, who valued friendship, still couldn't accept the fact that the comrades who won the championship together just left like this. He stood up, as if preparing to head for Cuban's office.

"What's the use of you going!?" Little did he know, Terry also stood up and yelled at Yiyang. And Terry's roar made everyone in the audience stop their actions.

"What's wrong?" Carlisle had to step forward to question. In his team, any conflicts between players will never be allowed.

"Nothing, I just want to know where Tyson and the others have gone."

Seeing that Yiyang and Terry were not arguing, Carlisle also let out a sigh of relief. "The change of team personnel should be left to the management, also. What we have to do is to train well and then play every game well. I also feel very sorry about Tyson, but the team has a team. strategy. I believe that Cuban will not let us sink here."

Yiyang turned his head and looked at Terry and Carlisle. He suddenly discovered that in the NBA world, not everything is under his control. On the court, he can fight for every ball possession and every scoring opportunity. But in the NBA world off the court, Yiyang is helpless about these things.

Tyson Chandler, Deshaun Stevenson, Jose Barea...  

If I can see you on the court again in the future, I will definitely give you a big hug.

But now, I can only say goodbye to the brothers who once fought side by side.

No matter who is there or who is not, the journey will eventually continue.
