One Guard

Genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! Time flies by day by day. After Cuban finalized the lineup of the Mavericks for the 11-12 season, Carlisle's tactical arrangements also quickly unfolded. What is known is that next season, Yiyang will definitely secure his position as the starting point guard for the Mavericks. Yiyang's excellent performance as a starter in last season's playoffs has fully proved that he is ready to take the lead. Kidd will take a back seat, and the nearly 40-year-old will do more off-court than on-court.

Two days before the start of the new season, the Mavericks officially asked the players to take a set of makeup photos before the start of the new season.

Yiyang, Terry, Marion, Nowitzki, Kidd, Carter and Odom were called by Cuban to take a photo together. These seven people will be the core lineup of the Mavericks next season.

In the photo, Terry still opened his arms and posed his signature "jet" action. Kidd holds a basketball and looks at the camera with a faint smile. All but these two players put their hands behind their backs and smiled for the camera. Among them, only one person was expressionless. There is no doubt that this guy is Yiyang.

After the group photo of the seven ended, the smile on Odom's face disappeared instantly. He didn't say hello to anyone, and walked towards the locker room by himself. Terry, who was still smiling brightly just now, also looked at Odom's back with malicious eyes, still cursing.

"Damn, why did he wrong him so much when he played in Dallas? Fuck, he's just a softie who lives by Kobe's side!"

"Okay, Jeter, what if people just don't like to talk? Don't look at others with prejudice. Everyone plays well on the court, that's enough." Kidd patted Terry's chest and signaled "Jet "calm down. Kidd is not interested in what Odom means, nor does he want to try to figure it out. As long as that guy is still willing to work hard on the court, he can still play at the level of the best sixth man. Then it doesn't matter if he doesn't talk in the locker room. Isn't it the same when Yiyang first came to the team?

Yiyang shrugged, but didn't take Kidd's words. The reason why he didn't smile when the photo was taken just now is because he didn't want to be as fake as Odom. If you don’t want to smile, you just don’t want to smile. The smile disappears immediately after the photo is taken. What’s the matter? In fact, if Odom was not in the lineup that was just photographed, maybe Yiyang would really smile from the bottom of his heart.

"The new season is about to start in two days. I don't want you to affect your competitive state because of these shitty things! We will face the Miami Heat in the first game of the new season, and those guys want revenge. Crazy! If you don’t work closely together, how can you resist the strong enemy? Give me cheer up, and forget about everything except basketball!” After hearing the conversation of the players, the gentle Carlisle said, It was also uncommonly serious. The reason why the Mavericks were able to win the championship last season without being favored by everyone is that the closely connected team is one of the important reasons.

Everyone is willing to work hard for the team after they play, and they are willing to pay for their teammates. But this season hasn't even started yet, and the atmosphere in the Mavericks' locker room seems to have gotten worse.

"Yeah, I have to face a psychosis after returning to the locker room! I really don't know what Cuban thinks."

"Jet!" Seeing that Terry was still chattering, Carlisle had to raise his volume and shouted to Terry.

Seeing that Carlisle was really angry, Terry didn't continue to complain.

"Okay, okay, at least the few of us are closely connected, hehe. Jeter, take me to the mall in Dallas tonight, I have to buy some gadgets for my new home." It was still Carter, the old fritter standing Come out, quickly end this topic, and ease the tense situation.

"I'm fine, buddy. I'm sorry, boss." Terry also knew that he had just lost control,

Shaking his head, he walked to the locker room.

Encountering such a thing, Yiyang is also very helpless. He wanted to calm everyone down, but he was not good at talking, so he was not suitable for such a thing.

Now Yiyang only hopes that when he is on the court, everyone will not be in a mess like this. After all, the eyeing Miami Heat will not give up any gap to defeat the Dallas Mavericks.

The problems inside the Mavericks locker room, only the Mavericks themselves know. But in the outside world, there are still some people who are still very optimistic about the Mavericks, which created a miracle last season.

In ESPN's preview program for the new NBA season, Charles Barkley analyzed the situation of the Mavericks' new season in detail.

"The Mavericks let go of Chandler, Barea and Stevenson during the offseason... Cuban was unwilling to spend unreasonable money on them and replaced them with Odom and Vince Carter. From a financial point of view Look, this is indeed a very smart approach, but it is not conducive to defending the title. The Mavericks must count on the return of Heywood to carry the defensive burden, but in fact, it is difficult for Haywood to reach the height of Chandler last season. So I I think it will be very, very difficult for the Mavericks to defend their title this season." In the program, O'Neal, who has retired and signed with TNT, is not at all optimistic about the prospects of the Mavericks in the new season. But his words were quickly refuted. The one who refuted O'Neill was none other than his "nemesis" Charles Barkley.

"No, no, no, you're talking nonsense, Shaq. The Mavericks have built the most powerful bench in the league while keeping the starting lineup unchanged! Odom and Jason Terry And Kidd, listen to these three names, no team can match the offensive power of the Dallas Mavericks on the bench. And next season, the performance will definitely be even better. With him on the court, the Mavericks There will be no problem with the offense! People always think that the Mavericks have no stars, but in fact, the combination with Dirk is already very, very strong!" Barkley said while poking his finger at the document in front of him for emphasis .

"It's not that I'm talking nonsense, but you are too optimistic! At the age of nearly 35, Carter has returned from a half-human half-god to the world, and it is difficult to play a good 30 minutes in a starting role. As for Odom, he is The 31-year-old has played a career masterpiece, which is good news. The bad news is that he is one of the seven players who are most likely to decline in the new season. His efficiency value may decline by more than 90%, and the range is not small. "

"Since when have you ever believed in shitty stats, Shaq? 90 percent? Come on, one of the things the stats guys never figured out is. Basketball is played by players, not a bunch Cold Arabic numerals!"

On the TV show, O'Neill and Barkley were in a fight. Yi Yang, who was watching TV at home, pressed the off button on the remote control and leaned tiredly on the sofa.

Both O'Neal and Barkley had a point, but they both overlooked one very important thing. After a summer of changes, how can the players of this Mavericks team fit together perfectly?

Far away in Italy, Vignali has already started her new season journey. Her Lazio team also defeated their opponents in the opening game and got off to a good start. Vignali himself also performed well, scoring 14 points and 6 assists, and was elected the best player of that game.

While feeling happy for Vignali, Yiyang is worried about himself and the Mavericks. I hope that everything will go well for me in the opening game against the Heat the day after tomorrow...

On December 25, 2011, after a long suspension and waiting, the flames of war in the NBA reignited. The shrinking season has 66 games per team and the schedule is frequent, which indicates that this will be an extremely lively and topical season.

On the day of the opening game, NBA officials arranged a total of 5 games for fans. One of the most high-profile is undoubtedly the Miami Heat's revenge battle against the Dallas Mavericks.

The plot of last season is very attractive, the reason is close to the 2003-2004 season Pistons defeated the Lakers F4 to win the championship, because everyone loves to watch the "David kills Goliath" drama. Although the Mavericks were praised by the outside world, what made many onlookers raise their hands was that the Heat failed to win. Unlike the Lakers who failed to win the F4 back then, the Heat can have another chance, which makes the 11-12 season full of sequels. And the first game of the new season, let this brand new sequel be staged quickly.

In the American Airlines Center Arena, enthusiastic fans have filled all the seats in this modern stadium. Although due to the shortened season, Cuban, who does not know when the season will start, did not prepare the championship rings belonging to the Mavericks players on the opening day. So today, the championship ring presentation ceremony of the NBA new season champion team will also be put on hold.

But even so, the fans are still all present. After a long offseason, everyone couldn't help but want to see on the spot whether this brand new Mavericks can withstand the invasion of the Miami Heat.

Accompanied by the cheers of the fans, Yiyang finally stepped into the NBA game again after half a year. He enjoys the frenzied atmosphere brought by the fans, but at the same time, the Miami Heat, which has the Big Three, have been waiting for this day of revenge, and they have been waiting for a long time.

"LeBron James said before the game that they are bound to win this game! LeBron has not forgotten the pain of losing the championship last season. Although the Mavericks will not award the championship ring at home today. But there is no Doubtless, seeing the championship pennant hanging in the arena of the American Airlines Center, LeBron will also be greatly stimulated! This beast will definitely become very violent today!"

On the commentary stand, O'Neal, who appeared as a commentator for the first time, has obviously voted for his former teammate James. And LeBron James on the court is also eager to try.

After all, will the performance of the Mavericks on the court be as messy as in the locker room? Yiyang can't care about the locker room and team chemistry anymore. Soldiers come to block the water and cover them with earth, and try their best, that's the only thing Yiyang can do.
