One Guard

Mudiay obediently reported to Butler University, and the news that Wade joined the Dallas Mavericks became the last depth bomb of this offseason. After everything is settled, the pre-season training camp for the 2014-2015 season will officially begin.

Because Wade's decision was so sudden, he didn't even have time to buy a house in Dallas. Of course, the cars are still on their way to be transported by air. So on the day the training camp started, Yiyang left the house early, drove to the hotel, and then took Wade to the training facility.

Driving on the streets of Dallas, Yiyang could clearly find that there were many elements of Wade in this city. Some high-rise buildings have official promotional posters made by the Mavericks for Wade, and huge posters of Wade's sneakers hang in shopping malls. Sales of the Mavericks' No. 3 jersey are also rising.

The car radio was still replaying Wade's speech at the press conference when he joined the Mavericks yesterday. When he passed a large LED screen, it was playing a picture of Wade holding up his No. 3 Mavericks jersey. Cuban stood next to Wade and smiled. I couldn’t smile from ear to ear...

"I strive to contribute to the Mavericks and bring more honors to this city."

What Wade said at the press conference yesterday also received crazy attention from the media.

The new season hasn't even started yet, and Wade hasn't officially appeared on the basketball court yet, but his popularity in this city is already high.

Yiyang smiled and shook his head. It seemed that he was not the only one who was fascinated by Wade's personality charm.

When Yiyang drove to the hotel gate, Wade was already waiting on the street with a big bag. Yiyang still can't believe that he actually has to take a guy like Dwyane Wade to the training ground with him. And a month later, they will be wearing the same jersey and playing side by side.

"Is there something on my face?" Seeing Yiyang staring at him for a long time, Wade couldn't help but touch his cheek. Well, apart from the fact that my cheeks have gotten a little bigger, it’s nothing.

"No...it's nothing. Come on, Dwayne, get in the car. It's your first day. There are a lot of things to prepare."

"Really? What do you need to prepare?" Although Wade is already a veteran in this league, he is an out-and-out rookie when it comes to transfers.

"For example, put all your things in the locker...and then there seems to be nothing else." Yiyang spread his hands. For things like transfer, Yiyang couldn't give Wei either. Germany what experience.

Wade got in the car and took off his sunglasses. I looked at the sky in Dallas,

and his own poster on the building in front.

A sense of belonging. Wade has only been in Dallas for a few days, but he already has a sense of belonging. It seems that leaving Miami is not as bad as I thought...

Along the way, Wade asked Yiyang many questions, but most of them were about the Mavericks' tactics. This guy is afraid of the world for just one month and that he will not be able to integrate into the Mavericks system.

But Yiyang is not worried at all. Wade may be one of the best off-ball superstars in the league. Although three-point shooting is indeed Wade's weakness, his finishing ability in the mid-range and penalty area is still the best in the league.

What Yiyang is worried about is not Wade's ability to adapt, but his knees.

However, no matter how much Yiyang and Wade think about it now, it is all in vain. All these things will be answered once you step onto the court.

Yiyang drove into the underground parking lot, and then took Wade into the player tunnel. Along the way, he also introduced Wade to the American Airlines Center Arena.

Although this is not Wade's first time playing here, as a guest player before, he really doesn't know much about this arena. The location of the visiting team's locker room was all Wade knew about this arena.

After introducing everything, Yiyang led Wade into the home team's locker room. The cabinet in the middle of the locker room next to Dirk is now used by Wade.

At this time, there was not a single player in the locker room. After all, Yiyang had always been the first to arrive. Afterwards, Yiyang began to clean up the scattered benches in the locker room as usual. Wade smiled. If he hadn't joined the Mavericks, he might never have known that the triple MVP had such a side.

Wade opened the locker and found three brand new Mavericks training jerseys hanging inside. Although it is not an official game jersey, the player's number and name are still written on the back of the jersey.

Looking at the word "" on the chest of the training jersey, Wade was really not used to it.

No. 3 is still No. 3, and No. 3 still has the name "Wade" written on it. But Wade knows very well that from today on, everything changes.

Then, the two began to change equipment. Wade's equipment change speed is slower because Benjamin needs to wear protective gear on many places on Wade's body. Among them, protecting Wade's knees is the most troublesome and important.

It's much simpler for Yiyang. He has recovered and now he only needs to put on his jersey and shorts like before.

But Yiyang did not leave after changing his clothes. Instead, he continued to accompany Wade in the locker room, chatting with him word by word.

"By the way, I shouldn't have to face you on the training ground." As they chatted, the topic of the two fell to training again.

"Either with me or with Tony." Yiyang smiled.

Wade's face is full of black lines. There is no difference between playing against Yiyang and playing against Tony Allen. The defense of these two guys is enough to drive people crazy.

But equally, Wade feels lucky. At least this season, I am on the same side as them. In official games, he no longer has to suffer from the Mavericks' tight defense.

After a while, the door to the locker room was pushed open again, and the tall French center Gobert walked in wearing headphones.

Gobert swallowed when he saw Wade sitting in the Mavericks locker room.

"God, I still can't believe this is true!" The French boy looked very excited.

"D. Wade! Are we really teammates from now on!?" Gobert looked at Wade and then at Yiyang.

Then, the Frenchman began to rummage for something in his locker. Finally, he pulled out a pen and a crumpled piece of paper.

"Give me...sign your name for me, Dwayne!" Gobert sat next to Wade, his expectant gaze making it difficult for Wade to refuse.

"What!?" Wade smiled. This was the first time he saw a teammate asking for his autograph.

"Rudy, you're so fucking disgraceful! Don't you know how to get a Wade jersey and have him sign it for you?"

After hearing what Yiyang said, Gobert patted his forehead! "yes!"

"You don't mind!?" Gobert reached for Wade's locker, but stopped in front of the door and asked Wade again.

Wade smiled and shook his head, and Gobert immediately took out another training jersey from Wade's locker. Later, Wade signed his name on the jersey. Gobert raised his jersey, as happy as a child.

At this moment, Nowitzki also walked into the locker room. When seeing Wade, the Germans were not as excited as Gobert. After all, they have been in contact with Wade in this league for so many years.

Dirk greeted him friendly and shook Wade's hand. "Is Dallas okay? Dwayne."

"It's very good. I have begun to like this city." Wade never thought that one day he would cooperate with Dirk, his biggest rival at the time. It is really unpredictable.

Subsequently, more and more people rushed into the locker room, including old players and new blood like Wade.

But there seems to be no barrier between everyone at all, and even newcomers can quickly integrate into the good locker room atmosphere.

Everyone is joking with each other, and everyone can get along with each other regardless of their seniority or ability.

Comfort and relaxation, these are Wade's two biggest feelings in the Mavericks locker room.

Compared with the tense and serious atmosphere in the Heat locker room last season in order to win the championship, this environment is obviously more favored by Wade.

It wasn't until this moment that Wade finally realized why the Mavericks were so successful.

They are not a team, they are a family! Everyone is a member of this family, and everyone is an indispensable part of this family.

People always like to make harmless jokes about Gobert, a rookie. Dirk and Yiyang chatted about newlywed life without restraint. Iguodala was discussing his success in the business field with his teammates, while Tony Allen, Carter, and Marion were discussing whose house they should go to play cards tonight...

Of course, in addition to these trivial matters, their discussion of basketball is equally serious. Everyone is praising Gobert's performance in the World Cup, and people are jokingly saying that after Wade came, Iguodala finally didn't have to be "forced" to score.

Even when Carlisle walked into the locker room, the players didn't become inhibited. Some people even made jokes about the "boss".

Turns out, this is how the Dallas Mavericks succeed. Last year, the Heat faced internal and external troubles, and everyone internally had inconsistent ideas, which naturally made it difficult for everyone externally to work together.

But in the Mavericks, Wade didn't see such a problem at all. This good locker room atmosphere has made Wade's favor for the Mavericks skyrocket.

Playing in such a team is a complete enjoyment!

"Okay, the chatting time is over, guys. Have you changed your equipment? Our first day of training is about to begin!" Carlisle clapped his hands, and everyone fell silent instantly.

It seems that although this academic coach can get along well with the players, his prestige is still there. When he spoke, no one would interrupt.

Spoelstra does not have this. In the Heat locker room, James has a stronger voice than the Filipinos.

"We won the championship trophy last season. This is the result of the hard work of all of you. I am proud of you, but I will never be complacent. Hard work and dedication are the key to winning the championship trophy. So, let us start from Starting today, just fight hard. Are you ready to defend your title?" Carlisle shouted, raising his arms suddenly.

"Ready!" the Mavericks players responded loudly.

The sound gave Wade goosebumps. How long has it been since I experienced this kind of passionate feeling?

"Okay, let's go on the field! Don't just talk and don't practice, do it!" Carlisle continued to clap, and the players quickly rushed out of the locker room one by one.

Wade was the last one to walk out. He had never seen this kind of energy in the Heat!

A new team, a new environment and a new challenge. Wade, who is already 33 years old, seems to have rekindled his despair after being infected by others...

Dallas Mavericks? Then start over here!
