One Guard

The Dallas Mavericks have been a powerful force in the Western Conference since the 21st century. After winning the championship for the first time in 2011, the Mavericks have entered the ranks of the most successful teams in the NBA.

This team has many impressive stars, including Jason Kidd, "Jet" Terry, Steve Nash, and Dirk Nowitzki. Of course, when the Mavericks are mentioned now, everyone's first reaction is Yiyang!

Yiyang, he has become a new symbol of Dallas after Nowitzki. And he is what makes Shelvin Mark think the most interesting thing about Dallas.

Are you going to fight side by side with your college teammates?

The night Shelvin Mark received the call from his manager on January 6, he rushed to Dallas to complete the contract with the Mavericks.

According to the provisions of Mark's last contract, the Hawks and Mavericks will each bear 50% of his salary. Therefore, the two parties reached a cooperation intention very simply without much negotiation.

At the signing site, in addition to Mark, Mark's manager, Cuban and Carlisle, Yiyang also witnessed the moment when his college teammates joined the Mavericks.

The moment Mark signed the contract, Yiyang gave Sherwin Mark a big hug. Compared to signing "leftovers" who don't know their condition in the free agent market, Shelvin Mark is indeed more trustworthy. Moreover, he is still Yiyang's "one of his own" and will certainly not have any impact on the atmosphere in the locker room.

"I'm glad you can join the Mavericks, Shervin. This is definitely the most correct decision you've ever made. From now on, we can bullfight every day again!" Yiyang patted Mark's shoulder excitedly. Others didn't understand Mark. Yiyang definitely understands.

Maybe Shelvin Mark is not a master of organization, and his athletic ability is not as powerful as Westbrook.

But as a tall point guard with a height of 1.91 meters, Mark's strong body and never-giving spirit can definitely make him a defensive gate for the Mavericks' bench. And this is exactly in line with Carlisle's tactical requirements. It can even be said that on the defensive end, his performance is better than the two potential targets Terry and Jeremy Lin!

Tony Allen paired with Shelvin Mack, just thinking about this lineup is enough to put the substitute perimeters of the other 29 NBA teams to shame.

Mark was also very excited. A few hours ago, he thought he was destined to be relegated to the Development League. But now, he has become a member of the defending champion!

"Thank you for your trust in me. I will never let it down!" Mark felt nothing but gratitude. At this time, perhaps only the Mavericks still believe in themselves.

And facing himself in such a downturn, Yiyang didn't show off at all. Mark even feels that Yiyang is still the same college teammate he was before, and this has never changed.

Otherwise, the addition of a substitute player elsewhere will never alarm the team's star player.

But in Dallas, Mark felt respected. A respect that I have never felt in other teams!

"Okay, we made it very clear on the phone. We may need you to play in tomorrow's game against the Pistons. So, you have to train normally with the team tomorrow. Although the time is a bit tight, don't be nervous. We believe you can do a good job." Carlisle patted Mark on the shoulder. Defense should not be a big problem for this guy.

"Okay, coach, I will be there on time!"

"By the way, Mark. You don't have real estate in Dallas yet, so today, we will book a room for you..."

"No, Mark can stay at my house! It's more comfortable to live at home than in a hotel! Besides, we can also catch up on old times! Tomorrow morning, I can also bring him to familiarize himself with the environment in advance!" Yiyang immediately interrupted Ku When Ban said this, he glanced at Mark excitedly.

When Sherwin Mark saw Yiyang's small villa on the bank of Baiyan Lake, he couldn't help but sigh.

Also a basketball player,

He also came from the same school. But the income of the two of them is now skyrocketing. However, Mark is not jealous. Instead, he is happy for Yiyang.

"There is still an empty room at home, hehe. After so many years, I have never had the opportunity to fight with you. To be honest Mark, I miss the time when I could bullfight as I pleased. Now, we have plenty of opportunities! "

"Hehe, I can't beat you now, Yi."

"That's not necessarily true! You know Mark, I think you've been underestimated!"

Seeing Yiyang say these words seriously, Sherwin Mark froze on the spot. Not everyone in this world looks down upon themselves.

"What's wrong Mark? Come in!"

When Sherwin Mark walked into Yiyang's house, Wen Xue had already prepared dinner for him.

"Eat quickly, my mother's craftsmanship is super good. I know you ran to the American Airlines Center Arena as soon as you came to Dallas. You must not have eaten. If you don't eat enough, you won't have the strength to train tomorrow. I don't know if the Eagles are No matter what the situation is, our training intensity is still quite high, hehe."

Looking at the steaming dinner on the dining table, the kind smile of the hostess and the warm hospitality of his brothers... Mark was in a daze, and even felt his nose was sore.

After entering this cruel league for so many years, this is the most heartwarming moment he has ever experienced!

"Thank you, and... of course, ma'am."

After dinner, Yiyang and Mark chatted a lot. From college, to the two completely different experiences after entering the NBA, and now.

Although they haven't gotten together for many years, there seems to be no barrier between the two. Yiyang has become a superstar, but he is still the "bastard" who broke a locker in the locker room on the first day he came to the locker room and challenged the team captain to a duel. Mark is still the responsible "model worker" who is willing to dedicate himself to his team.

After chatting happily, the two looked at each other. Afterwards, they all smiled knowingly.

"mark."

"Um?"

"Let's... go play some basketball."

The basketball court in Yiyang's backyard is very simple. It doesn't even have any wires. It's just a basketball stand standing in the backyard, and that's it.

Yiyang threw the basketball to Mark, and time seemed to go back to five years ago, when he had just joined the Bulldogs.

"Come on." Shervin Mark started dribbling.

Yiyang nodded and the game began!

In the first attack, Sherwin Mark wanted to use his body to eat Yiyang. But now Yiyang is no longer the skinny bamboo pole he was in college with no physical resistance.

Although Yiyang's body is still not strong, his physical confrontation ability is also above the average level of the league's point guards.

Mark had no choice but to turn around and pass by.

But Yiyang made a quick move and cut the ball away. Don't forget that during last year's All-Star Game, Yiyang was someone who was even willing to risk Vignali. How can a guy who doesn't know how to show mercy to a man be merciful?

Whether it's for fun or for formal competition, Yiyang's serious attitude will never change.

Then, it was Yiyang's turn to attack. Mark gave Yiyang a great sense of oppression. He used his strong body and excellent awareness to block Yiyang's breakthrough route time and time again.

The players who come through Stevens' defense are not too bad. What's more, Mark still played under Stevens for three years.

Yiyang smiled, Mark's defensive ability was more than enough to deal with substitute players. However, when it comes to dealing with yourself...it's almost too hot!

Yiyang took a step back to open up space for sprinting. Then immediately switch hands to dribble behind his back to accelerate the breakthrough.

A gust of wind passed by Mark's ears, and before he could move sideways, Yiyang had already disappeared from his eyes. This feeling is exactly the same as when I was in college!

As soon as Mark turned around, he saw that Yiyang had already scored a dunk with one hand. Mark smiled and shook his head, a superstar is a superstar.

"Too careless, Mark!"

"Don't be so proud, I will fight back!"

Along with the sound of the basketball hitting the concrete floor, Yiyang and Mark also laughed from time to time. Yiyang and Mark have not experienced this kind of purest happiness for a long time.

After sweating profusely, Mark naturally lost the bullfight 10 to 2, and the score was not very good.

But Mark's defensive ability and enthusiasm impressed Yiyang. It is true that Sherwin Mark couldn't guard Yiyang, but this does not mean that his defense is not up to par. Because looking at the entire league, there are almost no defenders who can guard Yiyang.

At night, lying on the bed on the spare floor of Yiyang's house, watching the faint moonlight reflected from the center of Baiyan Lake, Mark kept thinking.

After experiencing separation from so many teams, Shelvin Mark seems to have already become accustomed to the experience of starting over in another place.

From the Development League to the NBA, from Philadelphia to Washington, from Washington to Atlanta, and from Atlanta to Dallas in the West.

At least when it comes to transfers, Mark has countless more experiences than Yiyang.

But this is the first time that Mark has developed feelings for a city. He doesn't just want to work here and make money, he also wants to do whatever he can to make the team better.

Although his power cannot be compared with Yiyang, it can even be said that he is insignificant in front of Yiyang. But even so, he will be the first to stand up and play his value when the team needs him!

You must never live up to the expectations of others for you!

No wonder so many stars are eager to join the Mavericks and become a member of this big family.

This team is definitely the kind of team that everyone is eager to fight for and make it better.

Mark hasn't even practiced with the team yet, but now, he can't wait to step into the arena and contribute to the Mavericks.

Tomorrow, the Dallas Mavericks take on the Detroit Pistons. Carlisle said he hoped he would be in action tomorrow.

Thinking of this, Mark smiled. He is always ready for a fight. If he wants to fight, he can fight at any time!

Just when his hopes were about to be dashed, the Mavericks gave him sunshine. When his self-esteem was almost wiped out, it was Yiyang who gave him respect.

So what should I repay the Mavericks? Everything, everything that can be done on the basketball court, is what Mark intends to give to the Mavericks!

The first NBA show after getting together with college classmates must not be a mess! Even if it's not for himself, Mark can't embarrass Butler, Stevens, or Yiyang.

Thinking of this, Mark slowly closed his eyes. Tomorrow is the big day in my career...
