One Guard

The genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads! At the end of September, another offseason officially ends. When the Mavericks' preseason training camp began, reporters didn't see Howard and Deron Williams in Dallas. Instead, Mayo, who had fallen from the "next superstar" position, and Super Kaman, who is completely unrelated to the center.

"It's really good luck. A month ago, the Mavericks' formation of the Big Four lineup was almost a certainty. But looking at it now, I think their lineup is not as good as last season." Mu Ran raised his camera on the training ground I took a few photos casually, and not many reporters came to Dallas for interviews today. Compared with the teams that completed shocking signings or trades in the summer, the Mavericks really have nothing to stand out about. If it weren't for the fact that Yiyang and Yi Jianlian were here, Mu Ran wouldn't leave teams like the Lakers and Heat behind and come to Dallas.

"The NBA is like this. Every team is eager to change the status quo through a summer of operations. However, every year, there are only one or two teams that can succeed. Mark Cuban's ambitions are too great. He wants to take the biggest Both fish were brought to Dallas, but how is this possible?" Beside Mu Ran, an American colleague spread his hands. The Mavericks did not hope to form a luxurious lineup in recent years. Cuban has been aiming to recruit enough stars to Dallas since he took over the Mavericks. However, after so many years, the Mavericks' lineup has not improved much. Even when they won the championship the year before last, the Mavericks' lineup was more "grassroots" than the Heat.

Since today is the first day of training, the players don't look too familiar. Nowitzki and Kaman are teammates of the national team, so there is no problem in communication between the two. Mayo admires Nowitzki very much in his heart, so the relationship between him and Nowitzki is quite harmonious. But Mu Ran observed from the sidelines for so long, he found that from the beginning to the end, Yiyang didn't seem to have said a single word to Mayo.

Mayo doesn't get along with everyone, otherwise, he wouldn't have received a contract extension from the Grizzlies this summer. As a potential stock that can contribute 18+3+3 in his rookie season, Mayo should sign a long-term contract close to the maximum salary now. However, his negative news off the court and problems getting along with his teammates have caused his statistics to decline year by year.

Cuban chose to sign Mayo, which was also a helpless move. In order to wait for Deron, the Mavericks have missed too many signing opportunities. When Cuban reacted, Mayo was the only choice.

"This year, the outside world is still very optimistic about the backcourt combination of Yi and Mayo. Their upper limit is the most scoring backcourt partner in the league." Looking at the two who did not speak to each other on the court, the American counterparts muttered to themselves.

"What about their lower limit?" Mu Ran asked.

"Their lower limit is that it is very likely that the Mavericks' 12-year record of making the playoffs will be terminated." The American counterparts tilted their heads. Who can say clearly about the NBA?

During the days of the training camp, Yiyang felt that every day passed quickly. Although I can't play around with Vignali, I can't enjoy my mother's healthy afternoon tea at home. But on the sweaty basketball court, Yiyang is the most fulfilled.

In a few days, Yiyang gradually became familiar with his new teammates. Although Yiyang doesn't like to talk, he is not that kind of weird person. In addition, he is now considered one of the "veterans" of the Mavericks, so people will not reject Yiyang like a rookie. You know, in the lineup of the Mavericks team that won the championship last year, only Yiyang, Nowitzki and Marion were left. This shows how much the Mavericks have changed in the past two years.

The cabinet that once belonged to Peja, after experiencing the "destruction" of Delonte West's hidden gun, now falls into the hands of Mayo. And Yi Jianlian moved to Yiyang's side and took possession of the locker that originally belonged to Terry. This point was requested by Yiyang himself, he was used to sitting next to him with his best friend.

So he applied to Carlisle to let Yi Jianlian move next to him, and Kaman went to use the cabinet that belonged to Yi Jianlian before.

After participating in the training camp for nearly a month, there is actually no sense of barrier between Yiyang and the new players. But there is one exception, this guy is Mayo who was once compared with Jordan.

"Hey, the change of direction you swung over Darren today is really beautiful! If you have time, you have to teach me that move." After another day of training, everyone went back to the locker room to change their clothes and prepare to leave. During this period, the locker room is bound to be quite lively. The players may meet up where to relax later, or chat about family matters. Mayo also took the initiative to talk to Yiyang. In fact, on the surface, the relationship between the two seems to be pretty good.

"Of course it's okay. I'm going to practice more later. Will you stay? If you stay, I can practice that move with you." Yiyang actually has no prejudice against Mayo, but the two treat basketball The completely different attitudes are the reason why they always have a gap.

"Additional training? No, also, I will ask you for advice tomorrow when I have time. Hey, a new nightclub opened in Dallas today. I heard that many beauties and big names will go there. Are you coming? I just know the people in it, You can book a table for me!" Mayo said, blinking at Yiyang. He and Yiyang are both young people, so they are actually the most likely to hang out together.

But Yiyang just shook his head silently, rejecting Mayo's invitation. "I'm sorry Mayo, I think I'll stay and practice more."

"Oh." Mayo spread out his hands. "That's a pity."

In this regard, the dialogue between the two young people came to an end. And the two usually can't talk anymore after they can't say a few words. This is why the two young defenders seem to have a good relationship, but there is always a gap. Yiyang only hoped that the estrangement between the two would not affect the tacit understanding on the court.

"Are you going to practice more tonight?" After listening to the conversation between Yiyang and Mayo, Yi Jianlian became interested instead. He communicated directly with Yiyang in Chinese, and every time at this time, all the players in the locker room would look at the two of them with great interest.

"Yes, how about you?"

"I'm fine tonight, stay and practice shooting with you."

"Hey, what are you two talking about?" Carter couldn't help interrupting their conversation. "Teach me a few words of Chinese, too. If Chinese reporters want to interview me in the future, I can show my hand!"

"Hahahaha, come on, Vince, you probably will make Chinese fans laugh out loud when you speak Chinese." Marion laughed loudly. The pronunciation of Chinese seemed unbelievable to him.

"Don't slander me, Sean. When I watched kung fu movies, I still learned a few sentences of Chinese. For example, I am a grasshopper!"

After Carter yelled this sentence, both Yiyang and Yi Jianlian almost couldn't hold back their laughter.

"Hey, what does this sentence mean? I see people yelling this sentence before they start fighting in kung fu movies. Wait, don't say it, does this sentence mean, let the horse come!"

"Do you really want to know the meaning of this sentence, Vince?" Yi Yang looked at Canada Flying in front of him, he had never realized that this guy was so cute.

"Of course, I am still very confident in my language talent."

"fxck."

"Ah!?" Carter was stunned.

"I mean, that sentence translated into English is fxck." Yiyang smiled and shook his head.

"Hahahahaha! Vince, your language talent is really amazing!"

"That's right, you won't be able to understand the referee when you swear at people on the court! In this way, you don't have to worry about technical fouls."

The atmosphere in the locker room instantly became joyful again, and Yi Jianlian, a shy guy, couldn't help laughing too.

It's just that I don't know how long such a happy atmosphere can last after the start of the new season? Some people get better with each other, but for others, it's just the opposite.

Time flies, and under Yiyang's day-to-day practice, the time soon came to the end of October. At this time, Carlisle has confirmed the main tactics of the Mavericks this season, and the offensive focus will shift more from Nowitzki to Yiyang and Mayo. The schedule for the new season has also been released. The first opponent the Mavericks will meet on their new journey will be the Los Angeles Lakers, who formed the Super F4 in the summer!

This summer, after failing to recruit Yiyang, the Lakers immediately changed their target and obtained another super point guard with great strength, "Son of the Wind" Steve Nash from the Suns in a sign-and-trade.

So far, an f4 lineup composed of Kobe, Howard, Gasol and Nash has emerged. Although Nash and Gasol are no longer in the same state as they were back then, the partnership between Kobe and "Warcraft" still makes people daydream. The latest issue of "Sports Illustrated" magazine is even discussing how likely the Lakers are to create another dynasty!

Arranging such a matchup at the beginning of the new season will undoubtedly make the league a lot of money. Although judging from the lineup on paper, there is no way to compare the Mavericks with the ultra-luxury Lakers f4. But because the Lakers had a scandal with Yiyang in the summer, the focus of this game was actually more on the entanglement between Yiyang and the Lakers.

You chose to stay in Dallas in the summer, and the Mavericks' roster didn't improve. But the Lakers, who were rejected by you, have formed perhaps the strongest lineup in history. This level of conflict makes the fans look forward to this game.

Whether Yiyang will reap the consequences of his own decision will undoubtedly whet everyone's appetite.

Yiyang didn't think about so many things in his mind. The only thing he was doing now was to train hard, and then try to help the team win the opening game.

That's right, although the Mavericks are about to face a very strong opponent. But in Yiyang's mind, he was still thinking about victory. Yiyang has long been used to being underestimated. In the end who wins and who loses, how do you know if you don't play?

A season that is destined to be turbulent will begin again. I wonder what kind of performance Yiyang will bring to the world this year?

Los Angeles people don't get too excited, the Dallas 1 is in Los Angeles, and there has always been no shortage of victories
