One Guard

With a day off after the win over the Knicks, the Mavericks will play another game against Boston and the Celtics. In the past two days, the topic between Jeremy Lin and Yiyang is slowly cooling down, and the atmosphere of the All-Star Game has become more and more intense.

But the All-Star thing doesn't seem to be anything special to Dallas fans. The selection of Yiyang and Nowitzki is completely as it should be, and the fans are actually not very excited. For Mavericks fans, the only highlight of this All-Star Game may be the matchup between Yiyang and Kelly Irving in the Rookie Challenge.

Irving is the only one who scored a game-winning goal on Yiyang this season, and he happens to be a young point guard. Mavericks fans have long been accustomed to discussing who will become stronger between Yiyang and Irving in the future.

For Mavericks fans, nothing interesting seems to be happening lately. For the Mavericks' team reporters, it is even more difficult to dig out some breaking news these days.

Mu Ran stood helplessly at the entrance of the Mavericks' training hall. Two security guards blocked the gate with their hands behind their backs. They looked straight ahead, as if the surrounding reporters were all empty.

Like Mu Ran, there are not a few reporters waiting outside the training hall. These team reporters will wait here every media open day, so that they can get first-hand news about the Mavericks directly from the training ground.

Just when the reporters were drowsy, the door of the training hall was opened. Mavericks assistant coach Terry Stotts beckoned to the reporters, and two security guards finally moved out of the way through the gate of the training facility. The reporters all rushed in like vicious dogs that saw food.

"Boom!" As soon as they stepped into the training hall, the reporters heard a loud noise. Looking up, I realized that it was Yiyang who had just dunked and landed.

It's not uncommon to see players dunk on the training ground, but Mu Ran still felt that something was wrong with that one just now. In the half court when Yiyang dunked, there were only himself and Carter. And when they saw the reporter coming in, the two of them immediately stopped all actions, and walked to the sidelines with towels, as if they were afraid of revealing something.

A large group of reporters rushed towards Yiyang, but no one asked about the dunk just now.

Mu Ran spread his hands, maybe he was thinking too much?

Today's media open day was the same as usual, and there was no special news happening. The only thing that counts as big news may be Brandon Haywood announcing that he will return in the next game.

While Haywood is certainly important to the Mavericks, the player himself is not a star. Therefore, the news of Heywood's comeback is indeed not exciting enough for reporters and fans.

I thought today's interview was coming to an end, but the reporters heard good news from the Mavericks' chief press officer.

"Ten minutes later, we will hold a simple press conference in the media reception room, and we hope everyone will actively participate."

After the press officer finished speaking, he returned to the media reception room to prepare. The reporters are facing each other one by one. Is it possible that there is finally a big news about to happen?

"What's the situation!? Could it be that the Mavericks have a new player?"

"Wouldn't Odom be traded out?"

"How is it possible? I saw him in the training hall just now!"

"Could it be Delonte West? He is also very popular in the transfer market recently!"

The reporters started discussing one by one, and Mu Ran felt that it was not very reliable after hearing it. The Mavericks have a good record now, and there is no reason to change the lineup. Although Odom continued to slump, Cuban has signed Yi Jianlian to fill the vacancy, and Yi Jianlian has done well.

As for Delonte West, Mu Ran didn't believe that that crazy guy could be associated with the word "sought-for" in the transfer market. If West was directly laid off, Mu Ran would think it would be more reliable.

Suddenly, the image of Yiyang dunking and landing just now flashed through Mu Ran's mind! maybe,

Does this press conference have anything to do with the unusual scene just now?

With doubts, the reporters walked into the media reception room full of expectations. They are like a group of movie fans with popcorn, ready to watch the big show in Cairo.

A few minutes later, Yiyang, Carter, Carlisle, and Mavericks owner Mark Cuban walked in, and the reporters were surrounded. These few people had nothing to do with the "big news" they had in mind.

Cuban sat on the far side, then threw a smug smile at the reporters. You will definitely be unexpected about what I will announce later!

After everyone was seated, the reporters raised their cameras. Yiyang and Carter attended. When Yiyang dunked just now, Carter was standing beside him. Could it be possible! ?

Mu Ran seemed to have an answer in his mind, but it was impossible. All the contestants in the dunk contest had been confirmed.

"Girls and gentlemen, thank you very much for coming to this brief press conference. There is nothing special today. I just want to officially announce on behalf of the league that I will also participate in the slam dunk contest in this year's Orlando All-Star Game!"

After Cuban finished speaking, the reporters were stunned. Did this guy get his head clamped when he went out this morning?

"Mr. Cuban, today is not April Fool's Day." Below, a reporter seriously looked at the date on his phone.

"of course not."

"Since today is not April Fool's Day, how can it be possible to participate in this year's slam dunk contest? The list of participants in the slam dunk contest has long been determined. Budinger from the Houston Rockets, Paul George from the Indiana Pacers, Derry from the Timberwolves K. Williams and..."

"And Shumpert of the New York Knicks, I know sir, I know what you said." Before the reporter finished speaking, Cuban interrupted him confidently.

"Then, please explain how to participate in the slam dunk contest. Didn't you say that he will make a cameo appearance to help others lift the ball or something?"

As soon as these words came out, there was a burst of small laughter from below. The reporters even wanted to leave. Although there is no big news these days, Cuban doesn't need to make such jokes to increase the popularity of the Mavericks.

In the face of the ridicule of the reporters, Cuban and everyone on the stage did not particularly resist. Because they know that the final "winner" must be themselves!

"Then what if, among these four people, someone was injured before the slam dunk contest?"

Cuban's rhetorical question made the laughter below disappear without a trace in an instant. The reporters all stared wide-eyed. In the next second, like clockwork puppets, they all raised their cameras and pressed the door open button. There is a flash in Cuban's eyes, and now, no one will feel that his head has been caught.

"Is this true?"

"Who will replace you in the competition!?"

The reporters immediately became excited, and each of them had countless questions to ask.

"It will also replace Shumpert in the competition. This is the first time in NBA history that an Asian will stand on the stage of the slam dunk contest! At that time, it will definitely bring you a lot of different things."

As Cuban spoke, he patted Yiyang on the shoulder, seeing the expressions of the reporters as if they wanted to eat Yiyang alive, Cuban gave him the right to speak.

"It's only a few days before the slam dunk contest at the All-Star Weekend. How do you design and show your moves in such a short period of time?" Mu Ran raised his hand and asked the question he wanted the most.

Although the slam dunk contest is mainly about entertainment, players still have to prepare carefully to show their best side in front of the fans. Yiyang, as the first Asian to participate in the NBA Slam Dunk Contest, don't expect to be eliminated in the first round.

Time was really tight for Yiyang, but Yiyang just pointed at the guy next to him lightly, and the reporters instantly became more excited.

"Vince is responsible for assisting me in designing the moves, so I'm sure I can get ready in the next few days!"

Carter smiled and waved at the reporters. This "half-human, half-god" who once blew up the audience in the slam dunk contest is about to bring his "reissue" to the stage of the slam dunk contest again!

No wonder when Yiyang dunked just now, there were only Carter and Yiyang in that half. It turned out that these two guys really trained alone!

After so many days of silence, there is finally another big news in Dallas! Originally, the reporters were complaining that the lineup of this slam dunk contest was too mediocre, and there was nothing to watch at all.

But now, what the fans have been waiting for has become a reality! The originally gloomy slam dunk contest suddenly became star-studded.

Once the news was released, Stern burst into laughter watching the news. In 2000, the "half-human, half-god" Carter saved the declining slam dunk contest. I hope this year, under Carter's guidance, that Chinese can also save the dying dunk contest!

Orlando in 2012 is destined to leave a deep memory for people!
