One Guard

Chapter 369: Some people are happy while others are worried

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! "Welcome to the NBA, rookie!" When Marion smiled and said this to Rubio, the Spaniard only felt There was a chill on the back of the spine, and a huge sense of fear spread from the soles of the feet to the top of the head.

What kind of perverted guy is able to complete the blocking under such circumstances. Rubio swallowed, is this the NBA?

"Hey, don't be dazed, keep attacking!" Adelman's roar off the court made Rubio, who had empty eyes, recover a little. After Yiyang completed the block, the basketball rebounded beyond the three-point line. Carter knocked the ball out of bounds during the fight with Ridnour, so the ball still belonged to the Timberwolves, and they still had a chance to continue attacking.

Milicic sent the sideline ball again. When Rubio faced Yiyang again with the ball, he no longer had the calmness and confidence he had just now.

Yiyang, who stretched his arms across Rubio's face, was like a lion protecting his territory, and the Spaniards didn't dare to approach him rashly.

So, instead of trying to attack himself again, Rubio passed the ball. Milicic, who cuts inside and catches the ball, intends to go straight to the rim, but Haywood ruthlessly blocks it. Now Milicic is so mediocre that he couldn't be more mediocre. Blocking his layup was effortless for Haywood, who is good at blocking shots.

With two consecutive blocks, the Mavericks defended their basket with tough defense. The Spaniard just caused a little bit of trouble after he came on the field, and was forcibly suppressed by Yiyang, the "Sea King".

After the attack passed, Yiyang relied on Rubio to get inside. Although Yiyang's physical confrontation ability is not ranked high in the entire league, after a summer of training, it is still no problem to win Rubio.

Just now, Yiyang successfully scored with a hand-changing lever. This time, Yiyang used a fake fax to trick Milicic and Love, "slid" between the two strong men, picked the basket and scored again.

Adelman shook his head helplessly, Tanhuaxiu is always Tanhuaxiu.

In the following games, Rubio completely lost his rhythm under Yiyang's defense. When Rubio's rhythm was chaotic, the rhythm of the entire Timberwolves also became chaotic.

The Timberwolves' offense was hit and miss, while the Mavericks were hitting high percentages from the floor in a tired state. Because most of the Mavericks players can receive Yiyang's wonderful pass and score easily without too much effort.

Nowitzki played like a duck to water inside, and Carter and Terry also hit three-pointers repeatedly. In this game, Carlisle even replaced Delonte West, a mentally unstable defender. However, he and Yiyang's double point guard partner is surprisingly good.

West scored 13 points with running and shooting. There seems to be a tacit understanding between this guy and Yiyang.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, Carlisle replaced Odom. Odom played, representing the Mavericks have lit their victory cigars.

What about Rubio? In front of Yiyang, the Spaniard had no chance at all. He can't protect himself, let alone help the team complete the reversal.

Rubio only scored 8 points and 5 assists in the whole game. Under Yiyang's pressure, Rubio's turnovers reached 6 times. Such a result is obviously seriously inconsistent with the expectations of Timberwolves fans.

In stark contrast, Yiyang scored 25 points, 2 blocked shots, 4 steals, 6 rebounds and 12 assists in one fell swoop to revitalize the team. The gap between the two is huge, both in terms of scenes and statistics.

25 points, this is Yiyang's lowest scoring game since the beginning of the season. However, this "lowest score" has already overwhelmed Rubio.

Even Mike Breen said during the game: "All of us expected too much from this game."

Yeah, what people want to see before the game is Kidd vs. Nash. But the actual game turned into a game of "the eagle catches the chicken".

Rubio may become stronger in the future, but right now, he and Yiyang are not at the same level.

Without any effort, Yiyang defeated Rubio, the "Yiyang killer" that people expected, and by the way, helped the team take away the victory in the ice and snow of Minnesota.

102 to 82, the Mavericks ended up on the road, giving the Timberwolves a four-game losing streak. The arrival of Spain's golden boy seems to be unable to save the Timberwolves from the fire.

Back to back, three consecutive games, the Mavericks have won three consecutive games. The running and intensive schedule across the United States did not break them. The Mavericks' strong resilience allowed them to get back on track after experiencing two consecutive losses at the beginning of the season.

After the game, Timberwolves fans left disappointed. When Adelman shook hands with Carlisle, his eyes were full of envy. If he could also have a Yiyang, then it would be...

At the press conference after the game, countless reporters crowded into the media reception room to interview Rubio. This is the first time the Spanish golden boy has encountered so many setbacks since he came to the NBA. A lot of Spanish media are complaining, is it because Yiyang's playing is too rough, which makes you play abnormally.

However, Rubio on stage just shook his head helplessly. "I don't want to make any excuses for myself. He is too strong, otherwise he would not be able to help the team win the championship in his rookie season. He is a great player, and I hope I can reach his level in the future. "

Rubio's speech was not aimed at his opponent at all, but at his idol. But in fact, Yiyang only played one year earlier than Rubio. Sometimes the gap in strength really cannot be measured by age.

So far, Yiyang has successively killed the explosive Westbrook, the experienced Calderon and the talented Rubio. All the media are discussing a question, who can stop Yiyang's crazy steps!

Once the Mavericks are on the right track, it's hard to go wrong.

"It's a good day today. The team won the game and we signed the contract. Believe me, the Dallas Mavericks are unlike any team you've ever been on! Full of desire. Most importantly, we have the best point guard in the league. You know him better than I do. After all, you two won the Asian championship together in September. Welcome, Yi! As of today, you are a member of the Dallas Mavericks!"

Just as Yiyang and the others took away the victory from the Target Center, Cuban and Nelson Jr. brought a new player to the Mavericks office.

Opposite the two was a big yellow man with an obscure smile on his face. Yi Jianlian signed his name on the contract. He was once selected with the sixth overall pick and has attracted much attention. Now he can only get a basic salary. But this is no longer important to Yi Jianlian. Being able to return to the NBA is what Yi Jianlian desires most.

"We will have a great time working together. The Mavericks need players like you. Of course, because you were injured in your country's league and you are just coming back. So, we need you to go to the development league to play a few games first, adapt Take a look at the rhythm and intensity of the game here in the United States. But it won't be long, as long as you are doing well, we will call you back soon."

"No problem, I really need to get used to it first." Yi Jianlian clenched his fists involuntarily. Whether he can seize the opportunity is up to him!

The day after the win over the Timberwolves, the Mavericks got a day of respite. After a day off, they will face another back-to-back schedule.

On the day after returning to Dallas, Carlisle did not arrange any high-intensity training plan for the players. The players arrived at the training ground in the afternoon, and after a while of recovery training, they announced their disbandment.

When the players returned to the locker room to change clothes and prepare to leave, Carlisle suddenly received a call.

"New player?" Carlisle said this to the phone, which immediately attracted the attention of others in the locker room.

"Okay, okay, I see." Hanging up the phone, Carlisle found that everyone's eyes were on him. Obviously, everyone wants to know what that "new player" really means.

"Guys, there will be a new partner in the locker room soon."

"Who did Cuban sign again?" Nowitzki asked while changing clothes, as long as he did not bring negative impact to the team's locker room, he would welcome them all.

"Yeah, it's your compatriot who came here this time. Yi Jianlian, you should be familiar with him."

"Yi Jianlian? Has Yi Jianlian joined the Mavericks?" After Carlisle said Yi Jianlian's name, it was not Yiyang who reacted the most, but Carter, who had been teammates with Yi Jianlian for a short time.

"That's right, Vince, by the way, you were teammates with Yi before. With you and Yi here, he shouldn't have any problems integrating into the team."

"Leave it to me. Yi is a good guy. Although he struggled with the Wizards last season, I think he is still very capable. It's just that he bears too much pressure. After all, people all over China are Look at him. But now, he doesn't have to bear it anymore. Because the eyes of Chinese fans are also attracted, hahaha."

Regarding the joining of Yi Jianlian, Yiyang did not make any comments in the locker room. Like Yiyang, Yi Jianlian is the type who is not good at talking. So although they won the Asian Championships together, Ke Yiyang and Yi Jianlian didn't actually have much overlap. He and Yi Jianlian were not friends, but ordinary colleagues.

However, having two Chinese in the locker room of an NBA team at the same time, Yi Yang thought it would be quite interesting.

Everyone in the locker room is looking forward to Yi Jianlian's arrival, but Odom feels the exact opposite. The guy had a sullen face and didn't join in with the others.

Originally, Odom's position is already extremely unstable, and if Yi Jianlian comes again, I'm afraid he will become even more marginalized. He is a knight of the Purple and Gold Legion, and he was the second choice for the best sixth man last year! I came to Dallas by myself, not to sit on the bench! Moreover, he was still sitting on a bench under a Chinese!

The Mavericks can't do this, Yi Jianlian can't do this! He wants to make the Mavericks regret, and let the Mavericks know that signing Yi Jianlian is a completely redundant operation!

This guy who had already given up on basketball, at this moment, seemed to have a little flame of war in his heart...
