One Guard

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! Just one day after the start of the Mavericks' pre-game training camp, the Knicks and the Mavericks officially announced that the Knicks passed a three-way deal , In the form of signing first and then trading, he got the "boxing champion" Tyson Chandler, the hero of the Mavericks' championship last season.

After seeing the news, Yiyang immediately called Chandler, and soon Chandler admitted the fact that he was traded.

"Cuban doesn't think I'm worth a four-year, $56 million deal, and he's thinking about next summer's free agency as if we can just skip this season. Seriously, I'm giving it my all for the Mavericks , I won the first championship trophy in my career in Dallas. I love the city of Dallas and the team of the Mavericks from the bottom of my heart. The problem was ruthlessly abandoned by the Mavericks! I can't understand, and to be honest, what Cuban and the team did broke my heart!"

On the phone, Chandler didn't hide his disappointment with the Mavericks. Originally at the championship parade in the summer, Chandler also boasted that he would continue to bring more championship trophies to the Mavericks. Ironically, he is no longer playing for the defending champions.

"Tyson, is there no possibility of you coming back?" Yiyang still couldn't accept this fact. If he broke up with the Bulldogs and Hayward, it was because he had to go further. Now that he is breaking up with his brother who won the championship together, Yiyang doesn't understand. A championship lineup, why can't it be preserved and continue to compete next season?

What Yiyang doesn't know is that the NBA, a major business league, is much, much more complicated than the NCAA.

"It's impossible. When we meet again next season, I will wear the New York Knicks jersey. But don't worry, I will treat you to dinner when I arrive in New York, hahaha."

Chandler's hearty laughter relieved the sad atmosphere a bit. As Carlisle said, there's nothing they can do about personnel changes. The only thing you can do as a player is to continue to perform well and lead the team to move forward.

Two hours later, DeShawn Stevenson, a strong defensive player, called Yiyang. But what Ling Yiyang didn't expect was that Stevenson called to say goodbye.

"I've already signed with the Nets, and Cuban's head is full of superstars next summer. But I also understand that after all, for an old player like me, it would be nice to get a job, haha. Work hard, also. This season, Cuban will definitely support you. At that time, you will be the top spot of the Mavericks. If the Nets and Mavericks meet, I will not let you score easily. Don't relax, Boy!"

Stevenson is different from Chandler, the veteran sees it very openly, and didn't get angry because the Mavericks didn't renew his contract. After all, this is already the fifth transfer in Stevenson's career. His mentality is even better than that of an outsider like Yiyang.

"I heard from Jeter that you lost your temper on the training ground because of our departure?" Seeing that Yiyang hadn't spoken for a long time, Stevenson continued to chat.

"It's not a tantrum, it's just..."

"It's nothing to be surprised about, kid. Over the course of your long career, you've sent one teammate after another and welcomed one after another. Maybe yesterday's enemy may be yours the next day. This is professional basketball, not a college game, boy. If you want to survive in this league for a long time, you have to get used to it. Don't let these things affect your preparation status, I heard you boy This season has grown a lot. On the court, I really want to see how your confrontation ability is."

Don't look at Stevenson's image of a gangster on weekdays,

But in fact, he sees many things more thoroughly than those guys in suits and ties. It's hard for you to imagine that a guy who usually hangs out in street gangs can say enlightening words to Yiyang, but this is Stevenson, he only says important things to those important to him.

After hanging up the phone, Yi Yang let out a long sigh. He never expected that the birthday party at Nowitzki's house in the summer was actually the last goodbye with some teammates. People have feelings, but business is cold. Yiyang has now gradually begun to understand why people say that the NBA is a cruel and cold league. The reason why Yiyang didn't feel this way last season was not because the league wasn't cold enough, but because the Mavericks last season were too warm.

The current situation is just two common cases among thousands of transactions in the NBA. In professional basketball, Yiyang's understanding of these four words seems to be becoming more and more thorough.

Although for Chandler and Stevenson to leave, Yiyang feels very disappointed. But the young guard packed up his mood and headed for the training center at the American Airlines Center Arena.

The footsteps of the arrival of the new season are getting closer, but the Mavericks have not even formed a complete lineup yet. As the starting point guard for the Mavericks next season, Yiyang must adapt to various tactical changes and staffing. How can a team be effective if its brains don't know what to do on the field?

So this year's pre-season training camp, Yiyang is the one with the most tasks. As personnel changes occur, Carlisle's tactics will also change. As Carlisle's tactics change, Yiyang's organization and rhythm control on the court will also change accordingly.

Yiyang and Carlisle are trying a variety of different tactical possibilities every day. Fortunately, with the assistance of Kidd, Yiyang can change freely under various tactical requirements. If it were any other young point guard, the player might have messed up himself.

Of course, in addition to training and tactics, the Mavericks' locker room has also undergone earth-shaking changes in the past few days.

※※※

On December 13th, early in the morning, Yiyang came to the locker room as usual. There has been a lot of training in the past few days, and Yiyang also feels very tired. After all, if you want to transition from a relaxing vacation to a state of season preparation, it still takes a process to adapt.

The locker room was empty, Yiyang arranged the benches in the locker room neatly one by one, and then began to open his own locker to change clothes. His unique habit is still thanks to "administrator" Cardinal. Of course, this is also because Yiyang really regards the locker room as his home, so he attaches so much importance to the environment inside.

Just as Yiyang was tying the laces of his sneakers, the door of the locker room was suddenly pushed open. In the past, Yiyang was basically the first to come, and Nowitzki was the second. So today, Yiyang thought it was Nowitzki who walked into the locker room, so he didn't look up to see who it was, so he spoke.

"Shall we shoot 300 baskets first?" Yi Yang said while tying his shoes, talking to the visitor. 300 warm-up shots, this is his and Nowitzki's "reserved project" for the second pre-season training camp.

"300? God, no wonder you're progressing so fast!"

After hearing this answer, Yiyang, who was tying his shoelaces, suddenly raised his head. This voice does not belong to Dirk! Not even anyone he knew well.

When Yiyang saw the smiling man standing in front of him at the moment, he felt both familiar and strange. Familiar, because this man Yiyang has met before, and has seen countless times. And strange, because this man should not belong to this locker room.

"What's the matter, boy, don't you know me?" The bald man with a big beard still kept smiling kindly, while Yiyang was stunned on his seat.

"Car...Carter!?" Yiyang said the man's name hesitantly.

"Hahahaha, I thought young people nowadays don't even know who I am. That's right, it's me, Vince Carter. We'll be teammates this season, too." Carter enthusiastically Shaking hands with Yiyang, this historic buckle general is also not the first time he has experienced a transfer. How to get along with new teammates, Carter is very experienced.

"Teammate?" Yiyang turned around and looked up at the cabinet that belonged to Peja before, only to find that a brand new name had been written on the cabinet: "Vince Carter".

"Is there any need to be so surprised? The rumors about me and the Mavericks have not been around for a day or two." Seeing that Yiyang was speechless for a long time, Carter continued to joke with Yiyang.

"I...I don't know about this..." Yiyang as a whole is training wholeheartedly except for training wholeheartedly, knowing nothing about all kinds of rumors about the league. That's why he was so surprised by Carter's arrival. Before that, Yiyang never thought that this would happen.

Although Vince Carter has not yet won a championship trophy, he is not as dazzling as Kobe and others in terms of personal honor and statistics. But in the eyes of many fans, Carter is still one of the best basketball players in the world. His astonishing aerial performances when he was young have been talked about by a generation of fans to this day.

Although Carter, who was born in January 1977, is almost 35 years old, although he has rarely staged shocking dunks for the fans. But last season, Carter was still able to contribute 13.5 points in an average of 27 minutes per game. This is already a very good result for a veteran. Carter's arrival also announced that Cuban had found a perfect candidate to replace Stevenson.

"I've basically watched your dunks last season. To be honest, your explosiveness is really amazing. Hey, when you're on the training ground later, maybe I can teach you a few moves?" Carter Blinking at Yiyang, when he mentioned basketball, the distance between Yiyang and Carter instantly narrowed.

Another legendary name appeared in the same dressing room as Yiyang. What changes will Carter's joining bring to Yiyang and the Mavericks?

New teammates, new season. Everything around me seemed to have changed. For the next new year, Yiyang is already looking forward to it...
