One Guard

New season, new fight, new glory, new battlefield... Even though this is Yiyang's fifth season since he entered the professional league, he was still so excited that he fell asleep the night before the new season started. Not.

"What's wrong? There's a competition tomorrow." Vignali's confused voice suddenly made Yiyang react, and it seemed that his hand couldn't help but touch her chest again.

Yiyang quickly took his hand out and shook his head. I really don’t know if I am excited because of the new season, but because I have a beautiful girl sleeping next to my pillow every day?

In fact, if you think about it carefully, this season is really more challenging than last season.

For the young heroes who are new to the league, they need to make a name for themselves as soon as possible and make a splash in the world. For those veterans who have become famous, they also need to prove that they are still in the dark. This new NBA season is a year when everyone needs to clear their name.

Kobe Bryant is back and reappearing in the world. As the most watched player in the NBA, Kobe Bryant's performance in the new season attracts the most attention. How good can he play? How long can it last? Generally speaking, the offensive and defensive tasks of seriously injured veterans will always be reduced after returning, but it is difficult for the Lakers to control Kobe. Firstly, the Lakers lack offensive talents. Secondly, Kobe has a paranoid personality. I am afraid it is not a matter of how long he plays every night in the regular season. Len Scott can control it.

Moreover, Kobe's performance in the preseason also impressed Yiyang. He averaged more than 30 minutes per game in the last two games, which shows that Kobe is very confident in his body. He scored more than 25 points in three consecutive games and scored goals at critical moments many times, which also made the fans happy. The Lakers may no longer be as competitive as they were back then, but Yiyang really can't guarantee that the Purple and Gold are no longer a threat.

Wherever there is Kobe, there is a threat.

Let's talk about the Clippers. They ranked fourth in the Western Conference with 57 wins and 25 losses last season. If they hadn't encountered Yiyang's Mavericks, they should have been able to go further. After this summer's operation, they have become stronger on paper. Spencer Hawes is the best space-based inside man, and he is exactly what the Clippers need. Because neither Jordan nor "Big Baby" Davis can open up space for Griffin. With the addition of Hawes, the Clippers' tactics will be more flexible.

Jordan Farmar is a better backup point guard, and he has become one of the most accurate shooters in the league. Coupled with the Clippers' increasingly mature system, it cannot be said that the Mavericks can easily defeat this "Los Angeles Second Team" this season.

What about the Rockets? The combination of "Moden" will definitely be stronger than last season, there is no doubt about it. Howard's dominance is still there, and Harden is also growing. The Rockets, who were eliminated in the first round last season, may not be so easy to deal with this season.

Although the Thunder’s ranking will be affected due to Durant’s temporary absence,

But as long as Durant returns, the Thunder will still be the first team in the Western Conference. The Warriors have made minor repairs and have a balanced and stable lineup. The Grizzlies acquired Chandler Parsons in the offseason, and their offense is exciting. The Trail Blazers, who retained their strength, signed Chris Kaman in the summer, and they also made steady progress...

The entire west is still full of dangers, and any mistake will leave you behind. In the playoffs, the fighting is destined to become more terrifying.

What about the east side? Although the Heat are no longer a threat, the Cavaliers and Bulls both have hopes of advancing to the finals.

After Paul George broke his leg, the only player in the Eastern Conference who could compete with the Cavaliers was the Bulls. The premise is that the Bulls must have a healthy Rose.

Since winning the MVP, Rose has embarked on the completely opposite path to Yiyang. Yiyang has climbed up the ranks and won the championship trophy last season. Rose, however, suffered a series of injuries and was in a state of confusion. But if Rose can perform at an MVP level, the Cavaliers or even the Mavericks may not be absolutely safe.

Of course, the Mavericks' biggest opponent this year is the opponent they will face tomorrow, the San Antonio Spurs!

As the most successful team in the post-Jordan era, they have proven that age is not a stumbling block for the Spurs to win the championship. Although the GDP is old, Duncan, Parker and Ginobili are all well maintained. Coupled with the rise of Leonard, the Spurs' future is also full of expectations.

Moreover, Popovich strictly controls the playing time of core players, and combined with a deep rotation lineup, they can still dominate the league. The Spurs retained last year's team during the offseason, and their advantage seems unbreakable. Many media even predict that the Spurs will win the cup this year!

This is by no means alarmist. This is the only team in this league that will not be affected by age.

After thinking so much, Yiyang is even more looking forward to tomorrow's game. What will it be like to join forces with Wade for the first time? How will the Spurs perform? Not to mention the fans, even Yiyang himself wants to know the answers to these questions.

But as he thought about it, Yiyang felt that his eyelids were a little heavy. He fell asleep amidst the faint fragrance of Vignali's hair.

The last peaceful night ended in a peaceful atmosphere. After tomorrow, the smoke of the basketball world will spread all over the world...

※※※

On the afternoon of October 28, 2014, outside the American Airlines Center Arena, fans wearing Mavericks jerseys began to check in and check in.

Reporters on the scene pointed their cameras in the direction of Wade's poster outside the arena. For everyone, Dwyane Wade's performance will be the biggest highlight today.

In the preseason, Wade showed a completely different state from last season's finals. His breakthrough became sharp again, and his running without the ball became more exciting.

But preseason games and regular seasons are never the same thing. In the former game, everyone just practices and doesn't take the outcome too seriously. But the regular season is different, especially in the fiercely competitive Western Conference. From the first game, you have to do your best to win every game.

Can Wade adapt to the intensity of the Western Conference? What kind of performance will he have in the regular season? These constitute the biggest suspense of today's game.

But for the San Antonio media, Wade has little hype value at all. Yiyang, who averaged only 11 minutes per game in the preseason, was the focus of their attention!

"I bet he's either injured or in poor condition. Otherwise, Coach Carlisle has no reason to hide an MVP!"

"Maybe last night, he vented all his energy on his beloved wife in advance."

"It is difficult for a hero to be a beauty. He is not the first NBA star to fall at the feet of a woman. What's more, Vignali is not an ordinary woman."

The media in San Antonio began to make fun of Yiyang's wedding. If it weren't for the lessons learned, they would definitely elevate this matter to the level of racial insult.

For example, a headline like "The famous Italian women's basketball player is confused by the length of her XX that is a few inches shorter" will definitely spread throughout the United States.

But after Yiyang and Bill Duffy resisted such humiliation with tough measures many times, the media's words were more tactful, but they didn't sound much better.

The nonsense reports from the San Antonio media made Wade grit his teeth after reading them. It doesn't matter if someone doesn't send blessings to others on their wedding, but they still talk nonsense behind their back. It's really not a thing.

But what about Yiyang? But he was still preparing for the game step by step as if nothing had happened.

The longer Wade was teammates with Yiyang, the more incredible he seemed to Wade. Everyone knows that this guy is good at using actions to silence people, but he can still remain calm in the face of these reports. This is something that not everyone can do. At least Wade himself couldn't do it.

"Yeah, how do you feel?" Wade couldn't help but worry a little, whether this guy was pretending to be calm or really calm.

"It's great, Dwayne. I fell asleep late last night."

After hearing this, Wade let out a big sigh of relief. At least Yiyang is still a normal person, and he still feels upset when faced with attacks from the media.

"Because I can't wait to shut up those idiots!" However, the second half of Yiyang's words made Wade's eyes widen again.

But then I thought about it, this guy was last year's triple MVP winner. If this little thing can stump him, then he won't lose so miserably.

"Okay!" Carlisle walked into the locker room and clapped his hands. "Do you remember what we arranged yesterday? Implement man-to-man defense and don't let them play as a whole, and we will win. Dwayne, you will still start today. But considering your knees, I will control Your playing time.”

Wade nodded, expressing understanding. "No problem, I listen to you."

"Okay, those old guys in San Antonio are yelling about killing us, and they seem to have forgotten who they were eliminated by last season. Go on the court, remind those forgetful old guys, tell them who is Boss! Let’s go, everyone go on the field. This is our home court, there is no reason for him to run wild here!”

With a wave of Carlisle's hand, Yiyang led everyone out of the locker room. Wade was a little nervous as he followed Yiyang. Following in MVP's footsteps? I’m really looking forward to it!

Seeing that Wade was still starting the game after the preseason renewal, the cameras focused on the "Flash" wearing the Mavericks jersey. But few people noticed Yiyang's focused eyes.

Subsequently, the awarding ceremony of last season's championship ring was held on site. Although Yiyang had already received the ring in advance, for the completeness of the ceremony, Cuban still awarded it to Yiyang again in front of all the fans. Of course, the ring is still the same one. No matter how rich Cuban is, he will never squander it.

Subsequently, a pennant with the words "2013-2014 NBA Championship" was raised to the dome of the arena. This is the second championship pennant in the American Airlines Center Arena, but all fans know that soon, they will have the third, fourth or even fifth flag!

As long as Yiyang doesn't leave, the Mavericks will always remain competitive. If you win a championship, you will always be connected to Dallas.

Wade watched all this silently with mixed emotions. These are all what the Mavericks got by stepping on the Heat's corpse last season!

However, Wade is a professional player and he knows which team's jersey he is wearing now. Since I am now playing for the Dallas Mavericks, I must do my best for this team!

After all this was over, the lights on the scene gradually turned on, the players stood at the designated positions, and the opening game began immediately!

The Spurs are already an old rival for Yiyang, and he has no worries. The referee's whistle was like touching a "switch" on Gobert, causing him to jump up and get the basketball into Yiyang's hands.

Under the cheers of the fans in the audience, Yiyang began to dribble forward. Although Wade's official debut with the Mavericks attracted much attention today, in Dallas, Yiyang is the only protagonist!

Wade knows what he has to do, and off-ball offense is something he must be familiar with in the Mavericks. After passing Dirk's screen, Wade headed towards the right side of the court. Danny Green didn't expect Wade to be so active. This was completely different from his state in the finals!

Yiyang has quick eyes and quick hands, and with a through ball, he delivers the ball to Wade accurately and quickly!

"Dwyane Wade, will he score the first point of his Mavericks career!?" The commentator grabbed the microphone tightly and stared intently.

But Wade's mid-range shot at a zero-degree angle seemed to go too far. The basketball went directly over the basket. This is a no-stick! ?

Of course not, just when the basketball started to fall, the defender wearing the No. 1 jersey jumped out, caught the basketball before Duncan, and then slammed the ball into the frame!

Wade's not shooting, but passing! As for the extent to which Yiyang stretches in the air, it is enough to show that there is no problem with his body at all because he has a beautiful wife!

"Boom!" The fans cheered instantly. In the first attack of the new season, Wade and Yiyang completed a fantastic connection and scored an alley-oop!

"There is no problem with Wade and Yi coexisting, and there is no problem with Yi's health! Now, it is the San Antonio Spurs who should be worried about problems in the game! Because this year's Dallas Mavericks will become even more brutal than last season!"

Yiyang and Wade retreated at the same time, high-fiving each other on the way. The fantasy about No. 3 and No. 1 has become a reality at this moment.

Yiyang smiled and felt that his whole body was full of strength. Let’s start the new season by stepping over the corpse of the San Antonio Spurs!
