One Guard

Genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! On January 2, 2012, the day after Cuban and Nelson Jr. signed the contract with Yi Jianlian, about Yi Jianlian joining the Mavericks The news quickly occupied the entire basketball circle.

Although Yi Jianlian is not a big-name player, his special skin color and the fact that the Mavericks recruited two Chinese players for the first time at the same time have attracted too many people's attention.

Especially in China, the news of Yi Jianlian's return to the NBA and the first team with Yiyang has exploded among the fans. Countless Chinese tourists flocked to Dallas just to see Yi Yang and Yi Jianlian team up on the same stage in a live game.

Two Chinese players played on the same NBA team, which has never happened before. No one knows how big a storm these two Chinese can make in the NBA.

During the Asian Championships, the perfect cooperation between Yi Jianlian and Yiyang made everyone full of infinite reverie about their cooperation in the NBA. Although the Mavericks have officially announced that Yi Jianlian will play a few games in the Development League, this still cannot reduce the heat of this matter.

After knowing that Yi Jianlian had decided to join the Mavericks, Yi Yang also took the initiative to call Yi Jianlian, hoping that he could come to his house for a meal. Although Yiyang and Yi Jianlian are not friends yet, he still understands the basics of how to behave in the world. Moreover, it is rare to have a compatriot to accompany him far away, so Yiyang is naturally very enthusiastic.

It's a pity that Yi Jianlian left Dallas quickly after signing with the team. Because today, he will play an away game with the Mavericks' Development League team in Houston.

Although it is a pity, it will be a matter of time before Yiyang and Yi Jianlian meet again. At this time, almost all Mavericks players are looking forward to Yi Jianlian's performance in the development league, and then quickly return to the team to solve the team's employment crisis at the fourth position.

But Odom obviously didn't think so. If Yi Jianlian came and played well, he would be completely marginalized, and he could only watch the court from the end of the bench every day. Odom doesn't want to be down to this point, not to mention losing to a Chinese!

"Did you see the news? Cuban signed a player who is in the same position as you." In Odom's home, Kohler Kardashian was holding a newspaper and dangling in front of Odom. The headline on the front page of this newspaper was the news that Yi Jianlian had officially joined the Mavericks.

"It's okay baby, I promise you, he can't shake my position in the team." Odom hugged Kohler, rolled over and pressed him on the bed. Tonight, the Mavericks will play against the Thunder again at home, but Odom doesn't seem to have the slightest intention to restrain himself.

But this time, Khloe Kardashian didn't give in. She pushed Odom away and stood up from the bed with the newspaper.

"Save your strength for tonight's game. If you can't perform well again, you don't have to wait for the Chinese to come, and your status in the team will be lost."

Kardashian's words surprised Odom himself. When did this woman start caring about her career?

In fact, Kardashian certainly doesn't care about Odom's career. Even if Odom becomes a "water cooler administrator", Kardashian will not be disappointed.

The reason why he hopes that Odom can regain his status is because after leaving Los Angeles, the exposure rate of him and Odom has dropped greatly!

When they were in Los Angeles, the two of them would be in the newspaper every three days, and they would also participate in a reality show or something from time to time. But since coming to Dallas, that feeling of being under the spotlight has completely disappeared.

The gossip magazines here are not interested in a Lakers waivers, and the sports media will not spend time reporting on a player who performs poorly. Kardashian not only enjoys the feeling of being noticed, but more importantly, high exposure is the basis of high income. Without exposure, Kohler and Odom's income plummeted.

And these are the real reasons why Kardashian is "worried" about Odom's career.

"Don't look at me with such surprised eyes, I am also for your own good. Go to training today and perform well in the game tonight. After the game, you can do whatever you want..." Kardashian said , Charmingly twisted his fat buttocks at Odom.

Odom slapped Kardashian's ass and smiled maliciously. This is the first time Odom wants to train properly since joining the Mavericks.

※※※

Early in the morning, Yiyang was still the first person to come to the training ground. After Vignelli, who had finished the early training in Italy, called Yiyang, it was still early in the morning in the United States. But after Yiyang made the phone call, he couldn't sleep anymore, which is probably one of the reasons why Yiyang can come so early every day.

Starting today, the Mavericks will face another round of back-to-back intensive schedule. Compared with the last time they faced the Raptors and Timberwolves and other underdogs, this time, the Mavericks will face the Thunder who are currently No. 1 in the West, the Suns who are No. 8 in the West, and the Spurs who are No. 2 in the West. Three games, three strong opponents, this is undoubtedly a new round of challenges for Mavericks and Yiyang.

Tonight, facing the vengeful Oklahoma City Thunder, the Mavericks will definitely not have an easy game at home. So Yiyang started preparing for the battle early, he didn't expect to be beaten by Westbrook on the field.

After Yiyang trained by himself for half an hour, as always, Nowitzki was the second to appear on the training ground. The third one to arrive was Carlisle who stayed up all night watching the video.

Originally everything was the same as usual, but when Odom walked into the training ground energetically and fourth, everyone was stunned.

Odom noticed that Yiyang and Nowitzki were staring at him in surprise, he smiled slightly and waved to Yiyang and Nowitzki. "Morning, too, Dirk."

This time, Yiyang and Nowitzki were even more stunned. This seems to be the first time Odom has greeted his teammates since he joined the team. Odom seems to have completely forgotten about the quarrel with Yiyang before.

"Morning...morning, Lamar." Dirk responded falteringly, but Yiyang didn't say anything.

"Tonight against the Thunder, those guys are not easy to deal with. So today, I have to prepare early. Later, let's practice shooting!" After Odom finished speaking, he went into the locker room to change clothes. Yiyang and Nowitzki looked like "Damn it". Did Odom take the wrong medicine today?

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows of the office, Carlisle naturally saw the positive side of Odom. Maybe it was Yi Jianlian's arrival that made that guy feel the pressure?

Afterwards on the training ground, Odom practiced really conscientiously. Although he has been abandoned for a long time, he still can't reach the level of the Lakers before, but his attitude has changed 180° from before.

On the training ground, Odom completed all the items today. In the locker room, the gloomy face no longer continued. Kardashian is right, I need to take the initiative to change, so as not to let the Chinese threaten me!

In the evening, the game between the Mavericks and the Thunder started as scheduled. Before the game started, people were talking about Yiyang and Westbrook, Nowitzki and Durant, and even Delonte West, who performed well in the last game. But absolutely no one would think of going to Theodore's name.

After several games of snow, Odom has faded out of people's sight. At the beginning of the season, people also regarded him as an important force in the Mavericks. But now, the commentators automatically ignore the "all-round fighter" who can only play in garbage time.

Compared with Odom himself, the appearance of Kohler Kardashian is more eye-catching. This is the first time Kardashian has come to watch her husband play live since Odom joined the Mavericks. It was precisely because the camera lens of the on-site photographer happened to scan Kardashian that people remembered that there was such a person as Odom in the Mavericks.

After the game started, the two sides played very fiercely. A few days ago, the Thunder just lost at home to the Mavericks. Today, they also hope that they can take the victory away from the home of the Mavericks.

Unfortunately, however, the Thunder hit consecutive strikes midway through the first quarter, giving the Mavericks a chance to take the lead.

Yiyang and Nowitzki played left and right, and before the end of the first quarter, the score became 26 to 20. The Mavericks led by 6 points and entered the second quarter, and the Thunder did not take advantage of it.

In the fifth minute of the second quarter, Dirk Nowitzki, who was sweating profusely, left the field early to rest. Carlisle doesn't just have to think about this game, after all, the Mavericks still have games to play in the next two days. If Dirk Nowitzki is exhausted in the first game, then the Mavericks will only struggle more.

Cardinal continued to be ordered in the face of danger. Before Yi Jianlian returned to the team, he was Dirk Nowitzki's first substitute. In the last game, Ibaka was humiliated under Cardinal. And today, Ibaka decided to double everything back!

After Nowitzki left the field, Ibaka immediately leaned on Cardinal's hook and scored a goal. Cardinal relies more on small skills and experience on the defensive end, but Ibaka, who has been fooled once, will not suffer a second loss in front of Cardinal.

After the Mavericks attacked, Ibaka stood close to the basket to prevent Yiyang from breaking through. Seeing the open space, Yiyang broke through to score the ball and sent the basketball to Cardinal who was completely emptied outside the three-point line.

Cardinal holds the ball openly, but Ibaka has no intention of rushing forward! The Congolese knew that if he really rushed forward, he would be fooled by Cardinal!

Cardinal made a three-pointer in desperation, but Cardinal, whose ability has been greatly degraded, did not make a shot, and the basketball knocked out of the frame. It seems that it is almost impossible to expect Cardinal to become a stable output point.

Subsequently, Durant used the cover to attack the basket. Cardinal struggled to take off, but was tricked by Durant into a three-pointer instead.

Watching the team give opponents consecutive chances because of Cardinal, Carlisle stood up and looked at the bench. That guy who is actively preparing for the battle, can you let him try again?

Taking advantage of the dead ball, Carlisle walked up to Odom and got him ready to play.

Excited, Odom jumped up. In fact, what he was thinking about now was not the victory of the game or his own career, but the mouth-watering buttocks of Khloe Kardashian after the game.

"Lamar Odom, Coach Carlisle has brought up this man we've almost forgotten! A few days ago, there was a lot of talk about his relationship with Yi. Let's see, return to normal rotation Lamar, can he and Ye coexist?"

Durant's extra penalty was naturally a steady hit. He successfully hit a three-pointer, and the Thunder also closed the point difference to only one point.

Yiyang received the baseline ball from Haywood and pushed forward. After Odom came on the court, Yiyang felt that every time the Mavericks attacked, the Mavericks would play 4-5. But today, Odom's running position on the offensive end is very active!

As soon as Yiyang passed halftime, Odom threw Ibaka away with a back run, and went to the left corner to raise his hand for the ball.

Ibaka's defense against Odom was a little absent-minded. In the eyes of the Congolese, Odom is not even as good as that named Cardinal.

Yiyang didn't want to pass the ball, but seeing Ibaka's defenselessness, Yiyang decided to give it a try!

Eyes fixed on Carter who cut in, Yiyang flicked his wrist and passed the ball to Odom in the opposite direction to Carter.

Odom received the basketball and his expression became serious. He jumped high, and pushed the basketball out before the surprised Ibaka took off.

It has been a long time since I experienced such a comfortable shooting feeling. Watching the basketball gradually approaching the basket, Odom felt as if he had pulled off the last layer of Kardashian's veil.

The basketball hit the left side of the rim, but fell into the net on the second drop. Odom hit a three-pointer, which was his first three-pointer in the Mavericks, and it was also the most serious shot by Odom.

"The goal was scored, and the young Ibaka paid the price for his mentality of underestimating the enemy! What he faced was the hero who helped Kobe win the championship!"

For the first time this season, there was a commentator, who used compliments on Odom.

Khloe Kardashian in the stands smiled and clapped. As long as Odom plays well, a lot of dollar bills will return to her bag.

After that, Kohler's eyes fell on the young Chinese who assisted Odom in the goal. In the NBA recently, Yiyang has been in the limelight, very popular, and has a high exposure rate. Moreover, the huge Chinese market behind him also has unlimited potential.

Kohler smiled, Yiyang, this guy, maybe he can also be used well by his family...
