One Guard

After eating dumplings, the players did not play with each other, but had a good night's rest at their hotel in Washington. Early the next morning, the Mavericks players packed up their luggage and rushed to the airport.

Of course, Yiyang’s luggage was all taken care of by Gobert. In this league, it is almost an unwritten rule for rookies to help veterans carry their luggage. Not to mention Gobert, even if a star who has been famous in Europe for a long time comes to play in the NBA for the first time, he still has to help an "old player" younger than himself carry his luggage.

This is not bullying, it is just a habit that every team has. When Yiyang first came to the Mavericks, Kidd and Terry's luggage basically hung on him.

However, Gobert, who is 2.15 meters tall, does not seem to be burdened by having a few extra luggage on his body. This guy followed Yiyang as if nothing had happened, as if he wasn't too heavy at all.

Since the Mavericks players flew on Cuban's private jet, they did not have to go through security with ordinary passengers, but had a special VIP channel.

In addition to saving time, VIP channels also have the advantage of eliminating harassment by reporters.

Yiyang didn't know why, but there were a lot of reporters at Washington Dulles International Airport today. Under normal circumstances, if an NBA team leaves the local area, it will not attract so many reporters. Because the reporters had already finished their interviews yesterday, so even if they asked again today, they wouldn’t be able to come up with anything new.

"That's weird. Could it be that they still want to interview us about the taste of yesterday's dumplings?" Yiyang looked at the dark crowd of reporters blocked outside the VIP channel. Even if they were here because of yesterday's dumplings, The large number of people is probably a bit exaggerated.

"Dumplings? Don't tell me you don't know about that yet." After listening to Yiyang's words, Gobert, who was carrying a lot of luggage, looked at him like a monster.

"What's going on?" Yiyang was confused. After eating the dumplings yesterday, everyone went back to rest. Except for the three old oil players Marion, Iguodala and Tony Allen, who agreed to play cards together, everyone else went to bed early. Could it be that something happened after I fell asleep yesterday?

"Open your phone and see if Vignali has called you, and then take a good look at Twitter!" Gobert did not tell Yiyang directly, but showed a mysterious smile.

Having said that, Yiyang did not look at his phone after waking up today. Because he was walking in a hurry, Yiyang basically didn't have time to look at his phone.

After hearing what Gobert said, Yiyang immediately took out his phone and looked at it. Vignali didn't call. It was noon in Italy, so maybe she was playing outside with her mother. Then, Yiyang clicked on Twitter. As per usual, there are a bunch of tips of its own. But Yiyang has become accustomed to it. As a public figure, your reminders are almost endless.

Afterwards, Yiyang saw a name that was a good omen among a bunch of hot tweets, Blake Griffin!

Yiyang glanced at Gobert, who raised his eyebrows at Yiyang. So, all of this is related to Griffin’s Twitter?

"The Los Angeles Clippers have won 3 games in a row. We have been unstoppable recently! Come and get beat up by our next opponent!"

Griffin's naked provocation made Yiyang's eyes widen. Yes, after this guy said these words, he even killed Yiyang directly at the end! That guy Griffin has such a big tone.

Below this sentence, Griffin also attached two pictures very appropriately. One is his own data chart. It seems that he is very proud of his 31 points and 12 rebounds last night. The other one is a photo of Griffin leaning on Yiyang for a layup. In the photo, Griffin is looking very aggressive, while Yiyang looks a bit embarrassed. Because it was a snapshot, Yiyang's eyes and mouth were closed tightly due to conditioned reflex, making him look extremely ugly.

"Now, you should know why those reporters came, right? Seeing that you haven't responded yet, the reporters want to know what you think.

Gobert said, placing all the luggage at the security checkpoint.

Yiyang shook his head. The Mavericks have indeed not played against the Clippers this season. But even if he plays against the Clippers, Yiyang's biggest target is Paul, not Griffin, the silly big guy who can only trample the basket.

However, based on previous experiences between the Clippers and the Mavericks, the Clippers did not take advantage at all. Yiyang has not forgotten the shocked reaction from around the world when the Clippers were swept out by the Mavericks in the first round last season.

Really, if you don’t fight for three days, you will have to go to the house and uncover the tiles?

If Yiyang and Wall are still friends and foes, then Yiyang and Griffin are simply enemies!

From the beginning of their rookie season to now, the two have never liked each other. Griffin always thought that Yiyang had taken away many things that belonged to him, so he always wanted to teach Yiyang a lesson. And Yiyang will naturally never show mercy in the face of such provocation.

Turning off the phone screen, Yiyang followed the large team onto the plane. There’s no point in talking more. See you in Dallas, Mr. No. 1 pick!

※※※

On the evening of January 2, when Yiyang was still practicing for himself after returning to Dallas, Blake Griffin, the recently famous Los Angeles star forward, had already appeared on a program called "Los Angeles Welcome Party" on the talk show.

"Los Angeles Welcome Party" is a very popular evening talk show on local television in Los Angeles. The guests of this program come from a wide range of sources. In addition to entertainers and sports stars, news personalities are also among the candidates, and even talk show hosts will support each other's programs.

Today's show invited Griffin to appear on the show, and the audience was not surprised at all. If Yiyang's recent performance has dominated Dallas, then Griffin's recent performance has undoubtedly dominated Los Angeles!

"Welcome Blake, it's your first time to participate in a talk show, let's say hello to the audience." Host Barry Hickson introduced today's guests to everyone. Since there has been a preview of this show before, everyone Everyone knows that Griffin will be on the show today. Therefore, the ratings of the show are also soaring.

Griffin, wearing a hoodie, waved confidently to the camera. It can be seen that the recent outstanding performance has made the No. 1 pick in 2009 very proud.

The two chatted about everything from Griffin's girlfriend to his puppies. And this also greatly satisfies the public's desire to peep into the private lives of celebrities.

Of course, since basketball stars are invited, in the end, we have to talk about some basketball-related topics.

"Blake, the Clippers have recently won three consecutive games, and you have also performed incredible performances in three consecutive games. How does it feel to be a highly anticipated NBA star?"

"Wow, when you can score 40 points in a game, man, you feel like the whole world is under your control!" Griffin looked up at the ceiling and thought about it over and over in his mind. Just the past three games.

On December 28, the Clippers played against the Jazz at home. Yiyang's old friend Hayward performed poorly today, making only 3 of 11 shots and scoring only 9 points. And Blake Griffin became the brightest star of the day.

Facing the inside combination of Favors and Marvin Williams, Griffin took 20 crazy shots and scored an incredible 40 points and 10 rebounds! He helped the Clippers defeat the Jazz, and that was the beginning of Griffin's unstoppable run.

On December 30, they will face the Suns at home. Facing Plumlee and Channing Frye, Griffin scored 38 points with dunks one after another and grabbed 14 rebounds.

With Griffin bombing wildly in the paint, the Suns simply couldn't slow down. The Clippers almost established a victory at the beginning of the fourth quarter, 107 to 88. The biggest contributor to this victory was none other than Griffin.

Finally, yesterday, January 1st, the Clippers faced the Bobcats at home. Al Jefferson, who is not good at defense, has no way to deal with the highly mobile Griffin. Griffin scored 31 points and 12 rebounds, helping the Clippers win three consecutive victories.

What happens after that? After that, the news of Yiyang eating dumplings with his teammates actually made the front page headlines. But Griffin himself was drowned under each dumpling!

"In the next game, you will face the Mavericks, who are number one in the league. We have all seen your Twitter, and you seem to be very confident about tomorrow's game. Then, the Clippers' winning streak will continue. Right?" Barry continued to ask, and this topic undoubtedly made many sports fans who never watch talk shows turn the channel.

"There is no problem with tomorrow's game. The reason why the Mavericks are still first in the league is because they have never played against the Clippers this season. We have Chris Paul, DeAndre Jordan, Jamal, Dudley, and many, many more Awesome ruthless characters. So, of course, we will still win."

"What about you? What role will you play in tomorrow's game?" Barry found that Griffin had mentioned many people just now, but he did not mention himself.

"I will continue to perform well. The Mavericks' restricted area defense cannot stop me. Be prepared. I will probably score 30 points, maybe 40 points at your home court!" Griffin pointed at the camera fiercely. , as if Yiyang was really in front of him.

"Hoho, it seems that you and Yi really have a close relationship. By the way, has Yi replied to your tweets so far?"

"He hasn't spoken out until now because he's afraid! He will definitely say tomorrow, oh, I didn't see Blake's tweet. But don't believe it, it's all nonsense, and he's doing it for his own cowardice. Excuse! I know the Mavericks haven't lost at home this season, but that record ends there!"

In the joyful atmosphere of the show and surrounded by Los Angeles fans, Griffin seemed to think that he was really on top of the world!

Yiyang didn't watch this show, so he didn't know that Griffin was already so arrogant.

Now, fans all over Los Angeles are waiting to see Griffin beat China.

However, judging from past experience, it seems that it is not certain who was beaten violently.
