Two years and $28 million is almost the maximum price Cuban can offer. He must leave some room and cannot spend all the remaining money on Wade. Because once the salary space is locked, it will be very detrimental to the team's operations.

Although the price of 28 million for two years is still not high for a player like Wade, it is at least more sincere than Pat Riley's damn 16.5 million.

"I feel your sincerity, Mr. Mark. But I have to be honest, Dallas was not originally in my plan." After hearing Cuban's offer, Wade spread his hands. Frankness versus honesty is the most basic respect.

"I know how you feel about Miami, but I also heard about Pat Riley. Let me put it bluntly, he doesn't respect you. In Dallas, you not only get respect, you get honor. ." After Cuban finished speaking, he looked at Yiyang.

"Yeah, think about what we can do together, Dwayne. We might... I don't mean to offend, but if we join forces, we might be able to do better than the Heat in the era of the Big Three!" Yang was excited. He had never wanted a player to join the Mavericks so urgently.

Yiyang No matter what Riley thinks of Wade, the guy sitting across from him is still one of the greatest stars in the world! At least in Yiyang's eyes, Wade is still a big killer!

"I really want to cooperate with you, too." Wade showed his white teeth.

For some reason, Yiyang always found Wade's smile attractive.

"But, I hope to cooperate with you in the Heat, hahahahaha." Heat, Heat, even though he has been humiliated by Riley, Wade is still thinking about the Heat.

Is this how a person and a city feels?

"In short, we still hope you can seriously consider this offer, Dwayne. We are the defending champions, and we need all capable warriors to join. As they said during the championship parade, we have just hit the road!"

"Of course, of course I will seriously consider it, otherwise I would not make the trip in person. Thank you for your trust and hospitality in me. I will reply to you at the appropriate time." After Wade finished speaking, he stood up. He seemed ready to leave.

"We expect you to make the right decision, Dwayne." Cuban shook hands with Wade first, followed by Yiyang.

Finally, Cuban sent Wade to the entrance of the parking lot. Yiyang followed him until he sent Wade to his car.

"Seriously, do you think I will defect to the enemy? Do you think I will join a team that just defeated me in the finals?" The two of them chatted wordlessly along the way.

"I don't know, Dwayne. But I don't think it's called surrendering to the enemy. You are a great star, and you should make some great decisions to create greater things. When LeBron and Chris joined the Heat Do you think they are defecting to the enemy? What's more, you still move from the East to the West. This is the only way to avoid encounters with the Heat as much as possible."

Wade didn't say anything, but Yiyang's words made sense. If this is the case, then Wade will only have to play two games with his old club in a season. Unless, the Heat can still reach the finals. But to be honest, the chances of that are extremely small.

When he reached the car, Wade stopped and came face to face with Yiyang. "Okay, you should go back quickly. But I must say, don't expect too much from this matter."

"No matter what, we are all friends. By the way," Yiyang said, reaching into the inner pocket of his suit, taking out the exquisite red envelope and handing it to Wade's hand.

"Vignelie and I will have a wedding in Venice on September 19th. If you have time, I hope you can come."

Wade looked at the envelope and then at Yiyang, the surprise on his face difficult to conceal. "You're getting married!?"

"I am also 24 years old,

Dwayne. Is it possible that you thought you were the only one who would grow old? "

Wade accepted the invitation, smiled and shook his head. Time, I really can’t catch it. The little devil who was still called "Dwayne Yi" at the beginning has now reached the age of talking about marriage.

"Don't worry, I will definitely be there!" Wade agreed without even looking at his schedule.

“Thank you so much, it’s a great honor to have you here!”

"Hahahaha, don't say that, I'm starting to feel embarrassed!"

Afterwards, the two said goodbye, and Wade got in the car and was about to leave, but just when the car started, Yiyang stopped the man who was deep in thought.

"What's going on?" Wade rolled down the window and stuck his head out.

"I really, really want to create something with you, Dwayne."

Yiyang's sincere expression touched a certain chord in Wade's heart. In this utilitarian alliance, sincerity is already very rare. But in Dallas, he discovered this rare thing.

"Well, I will seriously consider it. Now, you should go home and spend time with your fiancée." Wade ended the meeting with his charming smile.

After the car disappeared from the parking lot, Yiyang still did not move away.

No. 1, wearing the white home jersey of the Mavericks, entered the penalty area and attracted the defense of three opposing players. Finally, the guy threw the ball high into the air. But it wasn't a layup, it was a pass.

Then, a No. 3 wearing a Mavericks jersey came out and clicked the basketball in the air into the frame.

No. 3 landed and high-fived No. 1. After that, the two of them returned to defense at the same time, preparing for the next round of fighting.

Yiyang smiled, this scene is really beautiful, so beautiful...

Wade's incident is just a small episode in this busy holiday. Yiyang and Vignali are still making perfect preparations for the wedding. After all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime event that cannot be taken lightly.

For the sake of the wedding, the Chinese Basketball Association even approved that Yiyang could join the national team one week before the start of the World Championships. But even so, their time is very, very tight.

It wasn't until July 23 that Yiyang and Vignali finally decided on the wedding dresses they would wear on their wedding day.

In Barcelona, ​​Spain, when Vignali appeared in front of Yiyang wearing the sky blue wedding dress of Pronovis, Yiyang could not even look directly at the beauty of this woman.

Compared with the same white wedding dress, this blue one looks even more eye-catching. Moreover, it matches the colors of Venice very well.

"Yi, does it look good?" Vignali turned twice in front of Yiyang. The reason why Yiyang didn't answer for a long time was because he was already stunned.

The wide, low-waisted skirt made of layers of tulle hugs the hip line and is connected to a sheer bodice with appliqués. The collar and long sleeves are decorated with floral patterns, perfect for the discerning bride.

"I think Mr. Yi must have been so stunned by you that he was speechless." The clerk made a joke, but this was a true reflection of Yiyang's heart at this time.

Finally, the two settled on this beautiful and unique wedding dress. Of course, the price of $250,000 is also expensive. The wedding dresses of this Spanish royal brand are even loved by the Queen of England, which shows its exquisite workmanship.

In addition, Pronovis's high-end wedding dresses are all hand-sewn, and Yiyang and Vignali have to be in a hurry, so the labor cost will be more expensive.

But for the wedding, Yiyang, who has always been frugal, didn't feel sad at all when he spent the $250,000.

After all, $250,000 is nothing compared to the diamond ring worth $1 million and weighing 8.5 carats that Yiyang has secretly prepared...

It wasn't until mid-August that Yiyang and Vignali finally prepared everything needed for the wedding. Now, all Yiyang has to do is to finish the World Championships in peace and contentment, and then come back to take the beauty home.

When bidding farewell to Yiyang at the airport, Vignali was very reluctant to say goodbye. This young man and woman are not married yet, but they are already inseparable from each other...

Speaking of the World Championships, no, it should be called the Men’s Basketball World Cup now. Originally, China was very active in applying to become the host, but was defeated by Spain. In the end, Spain became the venue for FIBA's first Men's Basketball World Cup.

As agreed, Yiyang met with the team on time one week before the start of the World Championships. And when he entered the training camp, Yiyang was shocked.

Except for Yi Jianlian and Liu Wei, Yiyang could no longer find a third person he knew in the entire national team. Looking at a group of players with black hair and yellow skin like himself sweating on the court, Yiyang felt a strange feeling.

Chinese basketball has also begun to replace the old with the new. Young players such as Guo Ailun, Zhou Qi, Wang Zhelin and Ding Yanyuhang have begun to serve as the faces of national brands. The position of head coach is held by Gong Luming, a "firefighter".

Yiyang's arrival made the young people in the national team very excited. After all, they have never seen with their own eyes the power of the NBA's most valuable player!

As a result, on the first day of team training, Yiyang "scared" the children of the Chinese team to the point of peeing. Even Yi Jianlian, the strongest member of the team, could not withstand Yiyang's attack. Under Yiyang's defense, the Chinese defenders couldn't even dribble past half court!

Guo Ailun is the boldest of all, he is the only player who dares to do tricks in front of Yiyang. Yiyang appreciated Guo Ailun's courage, but he also unceremoniously completed three steals on Guo Ailun's head.

Looking at Yiyang on the training ground, Gong Luming couldn't help but shake his head. Even though Yiyang is already so strong, he is still the player who practices until the end every day. His strength is not at the same level as other Chinese team players, so there is really no need to train together.

If Yiyang wants to integrate into the Chinese team's system, it will be effortless!

At the end of August, the World Cup officially started. China, as the Asian champion, is in the same group as Brazil, France and Spain. I have to say, this is really a death group. The Chinese team must win against two less powerful teams, Egypt and Serbia, to have any hope of qualifying. However, their "not so strong" is only relative to Brazil, France and Spain.

Facing France in the first game, the Chinese team suffered a big defeat at the beginning. Gobert has experienced the baptism of the playoffs and is completely different from last year. In the international arena, he is simply an insurmountable mountain.

Of course, as Gobert's "boss", Yiyang still scored 28 points on that kid. It's just that the huge gap between the young people of the Chinese team and the top level forced China to swallow the defeat.

"I defeated your team, hahaha!" After the game, Gobert showed off in front of Yiyang arrogantly.

"In this year's pre-season training camp, I will take revenge on you, Rudy!" Yiyang said harshly.

In fact, Gobert is definitely the most exciting thing for Yiyang in this World Cup.

In the second game of the World Cup, France played against Spain, Gobert guarded both Gasol brothers at a loss!

His brilliant performance in the World Cup is enough to prove this guy's huge progress! You know, even if the Gasol brothers were placed in the NBA, they would still be top insiders!

Yiyang is already looking forward to Gobert's more and more exciting performances.

Finally, as expected. The Chinese team has never played against the top three teams of Brazil, Spain and France. In the game against Spain, Yiyang even scored 38 points in 32 minutes! 38 points, which is also the highest scoring record in the history of the Men's Basketball World Cup!

However, the Chinese team still lost. Even Yi Jianlian couldn't cope with the game, and others were even more at a loss.

Yiyang now understands that what the Chinese team wants in this competition is not results at all, but for him to lead the young people to the big stage.

Yiyang is also very helpless. Several of these little guys do have great potential, but now, they simply do not have the ability to survive in high-level competitions.

In the end, China narrowly defeated Egypt and Serbia, barely qualifying from the group and reaching the top 16.

Even the American media reported that without Yiyang, the triple most valuable player in the NBA, the Chinese team would not be able to win a single game in the World Cup.

However, the Chinese team’s journey this year stops here. In the first knockout match, the Chinese team, as the fourth in Group A, met Greece, the first in Group B.

"Greek Freak" Antetokounmpo was the player Cuban dreamed of last year, but unfortunately he was picked up by the Bucks early. Although in Yiyang's opinion "Antetokounmpo's" skills are very rough, facing China, he simply comes and goes with ease.

With the height of the power forward, the terrifying wingspan and the flexibility of the small forward, the Chinese team has absolutely nothing to do with him. His repeated attacks made it difficult for Yi Jianlian to resist, let alone Zhou Qi and Wang Zhelin. In the end, Greece defeated China by 5 points and advanced to the quarterfinals. Yiyang's 32 points in a single game made China's loss less embarrassing.

In this way, the Chinese team's World Cup journey ended early. Even so, Yiyang still has countless fans in China. After all, he really tried his best during the World Cup. It's just that his wonderful passes cannot be converted into points most of the time. This is no wonder Yiyang.

To Yiyang's surprise, France and Spain met again in the quarter-finals. And Gobert once again let the Spanish Twin Towers suffer a big defeat. He sent out 5 blocks in a single game, nailing the two Gasol brothers to the pillar of shame. It seems that the Mavericks did not gain nothing after missing "Antetokounmpo" last year.

Looking at the momentum of the French team, Yiyang was still a little worried that Gobert would not be able to attend his wedding in time.

In this way, Yiyang's "warm-up" World Cup journey ended. Yiyang didn't gain much from this World Cup, and he didn't have any feelings. He couldn't even find a goal to fight for. Yiyang is not very willing to do this kind of "passing on and guiding others".

However, just think of it as just to maintain your condition. After all, in order to prepare for the wedding this summer, Yiyang's training volume is completely incomparable to that in previous years.

On the day when he said goodbye to the national team, to be honest, Yiyang was very emotional and excited. It's not that the Chinese team did anything bad to him, but after returning this time...

After returning this time, this Asian boy from the Wood District will grow into a man and build a family of his own...
