One Guard

Sponsorship contracts are usually confidential. Unless disclosure is required by law, both parties to the contract are obliged to keep the contents of the contract confidential, and the same is true for Yiyang's contract.

But in the world of sports, commercial contracts are often exposed. Both athletes and sponsors should be aware of this and accept the reality that confidentiality in contracts is not as strict as what is written in the contract.

Just the day after Adidas successfully renewed its contract with Yiyang, the market was flooded with news related to this contract renewal.

"Yiyang signed a ten-year contract with Adidas, with the contract value exceeding US$100 million!"

"Big contract extension! Adidas officially announced that it will also join forces with Derrick Rose to become its main spokesperson!"

"A 100-million-yuan contract has been signed, and Adidas will soon launch Yiyang's first-generation exclusive sneakers!"

Although this news has nothing to do with the playoffs, its popularity is no worse than the news about the playoffs.

Before that, only Yao Ming was the only Chinese player to launch signature sneakers after entering the NBA. But the cooperation between Yao Ming and Reebok was not actually a success. There is no way, the embarrassment of center forward sneakers not being sold is inevitable even for a historical behemoth like O'Neal.

But this time, Yiyang, as a point guard, had no such worries. If Yiyang's signature shoes can sell explosive sales, it will be another record that is difficult to surpass.

Yiyang, who had just been pushed to the peak of popularity because he led the team to an easy victory over the Grizzlies, is now continuing to be popular by renewing his contract with Adidas at a sky-high price.

Outside, most people speculate that Yiyang's contract is 110 million for ten years. If they knew that Yiyang's contract price was far higher than Rose's 250 million, they would probably explode.

Even before Yiyang's signature shoes have been officially put into production, many people have spread rumors and petitions on the Adidas official website. "Give us Yi's sneakers, quick!"

Such world-class influence is exactly what Adidas desires to see. Their crazy promotion and momentum seems to have turned Yiyang into a real superstar.

However, the sports world is different from the entertainment world. Celebrities are indispensable for publicity and packaging, but sports stars cannot stand out by relying on publicity and packaging alone. Your status in the league and in the world depends entirely on whether you can win the game!

The second game of the playoff showdown between the Grizzlies and the Mavericks attracted much attention because Yiyang signed a 100 million yuan contract. Before the game started, Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins said that the Grizzlies will definitely show a better defensive performance today and will not let the Mavericks play an extremely smooth offense.

Although trailing 1-0, it is obvious that the Grizzlies have not surrendered yet. They still want to advance, they still want to climb up by stepping on Yiyang's body. Moreover, they really have this confidence.

"Our whole team didn't play well, but they did the opposite. We didn't defend as well as usual, and there are still a lot of things that need to be adjusted. But we will forget the last loss and return to the court to play our own game. level." Zach Randolph also expressed his determination when being interviewed by an ESPN reporter.

The opponent becomes famous for defeating him, and no one wants to watch this happen. The Grizzlies want to make a comeback, not only for the playoff situation, but also to restore their dignity.

Didn't you just happily sign a 100 million yuan contract with Adidas before the game? Now, I'm going to let this newly promoted "Mr. Billion Dollar" taste the taste of failure!

As soon as the second game between the two sides started, even Carlisle, who was sitting off the court, experienced the change in defensive intensity on the court. Today, the Grizzlies no longer used double-teaming tactics against Yiyang, but used man-to-man defense to the extreme.

The Mavericks have a hard time getting offensive opportunities no matter who has the ball. Facing the aggressive Randolph, Nowitzki played much harder than in the previous game. The most powerful fire support point of the "German tank" was lost.

It is also difficult for Yiyang to drive the entire team's offense.

Therefore, Yiyang can only use his crazy personal scoring to make up for the shortcomings of his teammates, just like he did in the second half of the regular season. The result of this was that Yiyang was exhausted under the Grizzlies' tight defense!

In the eighth minute of the third quarter, Yiyang held the ball and went inside to prepare for a layup, but was directly knocked down by the strong black bear Randolph.

After Yiyang fell to the ground, he didn't get up as usual. This scene undoubtedly shocked Carlisle. However, when Nowitzki and Carter went to help him, they discovered that Yiyang was not injured, but because he was too tired and wanted to lie down on the floor to breathe for a while.

After being pulled up by his teammates, Yiyang rarely missed a free throw, making only 1 of 2 free throws. It can be seen that severe physical exhaustion has begun to affect Yiyang's hit rate.

On the other hand, the Grizzlies, today they are all on board and use defense to drive offense. Randolph, Gasol, Conley and even Tony Allen all performed well on the offensive end today.

It seems that the Grizzlies really have the momentum to drag the Mavericks down. You may face defeat in your first game after becoming Mr. Billion Dollar. Many people with bad intentions are already waiting to see Yiyang's jokes.

The Grizzlies did not disappoint. They persisted until the last minute under Yiyang's powerful offensive. In the second half of the fourth quarter, Yiyang's shooting percentage began to decline significantly, and his breakthrough speed was also greatly reduced. If Yiyang hadn't been training with Brickley for two consecutive summers, he might not even be able to run now.

Seizing the opportunity of Yiyang's declining shooting percentage, the Grizzlies launched an offensive and clung to the score.

With 1 minute and 30 seconds left in the game, an exhausted Yiyang passed the ball to Nowitzki. The German missed the shot under Randolph's tight defense, and the Grizzlies gained the ball!

Conley called for a pick-and-roll, and both the Black and White Bears moved to the high post. A double-pick-and-roll attack made it difficult for Yiyang to judge the direction of Conley's breakthrough.

In the end, Conley chose to go to Randolph's side. Yiyang, who was almost physically exhausted, failed to get around the defense quickly, allowing Xiao Conley to hit a pull-up jumper.

At this point, the score on the field was moved to 89. With one minute left before the end of the game, and with Yiyang having difficulty hitting shots, the Memphis fans were ready to celebrate the victory.

"Adidas may be the company that regrets signing billion-dollar contracts with players the fastest." The local commentator in Memphis even used Yiyang's endorsement contract as a reason to lose the game just after signing a big contract. What could be worse than this? A slap in the face?

The Grizzlies are bound to win, and Yiyang can only drag his tired body forward again. This offense, the Mavericks played as hard as ever. The Grizzlies blocked all Yiyang's ball routes, and there was a defensive player in front of everyone who was pressing hard.

Yiyang panted, sweat dripped into his eyes, but Yiyang didn't even dare to blink. He was afraid that with one thought, Conley would take the ball away from him.

After adjusting his breathing, Yiyang pulled the ball with one hand, causing Conley to lose his center of gravity. Conley didn't dare to reach out and grab it easily, because in this situation, even sending Yiyang to the free throw line would be very fatal.

Just when Yiyang was about to push on the ground to break through, he suddenly slipped! It turned out that Yiyang had stepped on his own sweat that had just dripped on the hardwood floor!

Yiyang lost all his center of gravity and leaned forward suddenly. If Yiyang lost the ball, it would undoubtedly be a fatal mistake!

But with no center of gravity at all, Yiyang passed the ball steadily while being almost parallel to the ground. Prince, who was attracted by Yiyang, failed to take a good look at Marion. Marion got an open mid-range shot. He made the ball with his weird posture, and the American Airlines Center Arena cheered!

"You can still pass the ball when you lose all your center of gravity! God, who can stop that guy!"

Prince held his head with his hands regretfully. His defensive mistake ruined the good situation for the Grizzlies!

There are 33 seconds left in the game and the Grizzlies are two points behind! Yiyang's key assist turned the situation around instantly.

However, after holding on for an entire game, the Grizzlies were unwilling to give up the victory. They will never allow themselves to return to Memphis with a 2-0 score, otherwise the series will be too dangerous for them.

Yiyang's rapid rise to fame has undoubtedly made many people jealous, and they all hope to see someone break Yiyang's magical performance. In the last 33 seconds, even if the Grizzlies just dragged the game into overtime, they could still drag the Mavericks to death!

Marc Gasol, the undisputed number one star of the Memphis Grizzlies, decided to take on this responsibility. But as a seven-foot center, you can't expect Gasol to dribble past Kaman and make a pull-up jump shot by himself. To complete this attack, Gasol needs the help of his teammates. This person is Conley who is controlling the ball!

Conley gave orders from beyond the three-point line. He first signaled Tony Allen and Prince to open up, and then asked Randolph to come out and set up a screen. It seems that the Grizzlies still hope to use Conley and Randolph's pick-and-roll cooperation to break the deadlock.

Yiyang's attention was all on Conley, Carlisle's attention was all on Conley, and everyone on the scene was focused on Conley, except Gasol!

Just when Conley was about to start a breakthrough, Gasol, who was leaning on Kaman under the basket, suddenly turned around. Kaman, who didn't react in time, was like a wooden stake, and was swept cleanly by the nimble-footed Kaman!

Seeing that the time was right, Conley pushed the ball straight into the penalty area. The basketball was fast and accurate, and the timing was just right when Gasol turned around and smeared it into the basket. Kaman still wanted to defend, but to no avail. The big white bear jumped up on the spot, raised the basketball, and slammed the ball into the frame!

A powerful two-handed dunk on the spot, let people see the wildness of the grizzly bear!

"Boom! Mark's dunk made the Mavericks' victory disappear again! 91 to 91, there are 13.3 seconds left in the game. For the Mavericks, their next offense will be tested!"

Carlisle shook his head helplessly. Today's game was really not smooth, so he had just used up his last timeout. Now, the Mavericks have to rely on themselves if they want to win the game.

What tactics should be used and who should take the final shot all have to be decided by Yiyang, the on-court coach. However, this Dallas No. 1 has only played in the league for three seasons. Can he really make the most correct decision in place of Carlisle at this critical moment?

"How to hit?" Nowitzki asked Yiyang specifically before serving the baseline ball.

"Help me bring out the defense, Dirk." Yiyang simply replied, then stretched out his hands to ask for the ball.

As soon as Yiyang touched the ball, the numbers on the backboard timer began to beat crazily. Hayward in the stands is also a professional player, but now he is so nervous that he is holding his breath.

Whether Mr. Yiyang, a billionaire, is worth it all depends on this last attack!

After halftime, Conley did not press Yiyang. Conley had tried it countless times in this series. He did not want to be passed by Yiyang at the critical moment.

On the other side, Nowitzki and Kaman played an off-ball screen inside the block, diverting some of the Grizzlies' defensive attention. Although Nowitzki, who missed half of the season, has scored a career low this year, this guy is still likely to kill the game at any time.

Yiyang observed Nowitzki's movement, and Conley opened his arms without slacking off. God knows if that guy Yiyang really intends to pass the ball.

Time passed by minute by minute, and the heartbeats of the fans at the scene gradually accelerated.

When the game was about to end with 4.3 seconds left, Yiyang, who was leisurely controlling the ball, suddenly accelerated!

The speed of this first step made the well-informed Mike Brin open his mouth. How could this guy still have some energy left? ?

Yiyang had no energy left, but he had to use all his strength on this most critical step.

Gritting his teeth, Yiyang surpassed Conley by half a body. But Conley did not give up, but blocked Yiyang's path with fierce confrontation!

"Conley's defense was very successful, and he put a lot of pressure on Yi! The Grizzlies' leading defender is very likely to defeat Mr. Yi, a billionaire, in this duel!"

Countless people clenched their fists, and countless people wanted to see Yiyang fail. Why should a Chinese get a contract worth 100 million yuan? Why do so many strong players succeed in the NBA?

Randolph was pulled to the outside by Nowitzki, and Gasol couldn't be released for the time being. Yiyang now faces only Conley, which is exactly the result he wants.

As a result, Yiyang took off directly during the breakthrough process! Against Conley's defense, he raised the ball with one hand and threw it toward the basket!

The air around them froze, and they just stared blankly at the basketball, hoping that God would not be on Yiyang's side today.

However, when the ball went in and the lights came on, the most desperate thing happened!

93 to 91, one day after signing a ten-year contract, Yiyang staged a winning show in the playoffs!

The fans pointed at the court and imitated Yiyang and shouted: "Thisismyhouse!"

Conley sat on the ground in pain. Mr. Billion Dollar is not someone who can be knocked down so easily.
