One Guard

Retiring after winning two more championships is indeed Yiyang's true thoughts. Even if he is only 30 years old in two years, this is still a very golden age for professional basketball players, but even so, Yiyang has begun to think about quitting. Now he wants to slowly shift the focus of his life from basketball to family. From now on, Yiyang must also prepare for such a transformation.

In the summer, Yiyang found his old friend Iguodala and consulted him on some investment matters. Iguodala is definitely a smart guy. He has many assets in Dallas and Oakland. This guy's business empire is already very large. When he was with the Mavericks, Yiyang knew that Iguodala was good at business, but Yiyang didn't have much interest in business at that time.

However, if you want to transform, business investment is essential. But don't think that Yiyang has made so much money over the years that he will never be able to squander it all in his lifetime. Looking at those sports stars who quickly went bankrupt after retiring, Yiyang didn't want to live in such a miserable state after retiring.

"Business investment? I thought you would come and discuss with me the last shot I made against my defense." Iguodala looked at Yiyang across the dining table with a look of surprise in his eyes. This guy who used to only think about basketball is now thinking about business issues.

"Speaking of that goal, you were really merciless. You defended it so hard. It was definitely the best defense in the series!"

"It turned out that your kid was invested in it. Let's not talk about it. Are you really interested in doing business?"

Yiyang nodded, and in the next week, he studied with Iguodala in Oakland.

Of course, Yiyang will naturally consult his manager Bill Duffy on business issues. Duffy is definitely a business veteran, and as a well-known manager, his connections are even wider than Iguodala's.

"Business? I thought you were here to talk to me about contract extension. You only have the last year left in your contract with the Mavericks. Now is the time to talk to Cuban about extending the contract in advance." Duffy said for himself Over a glass of red wine, the last contract Yiyang signed with the Mavericks was 108 million for five years. Five years ago, this was a very scary number. And Cuban also used the 108 million to "buy" four NBA championship trophies!

But from the current perspective, 108 million is indeed not a big price tag. After all, even Kangli gets more money than Yiyang.

This five-year contract is almost the last big contract in Yiyang's career, so Duffy must be cautious. He has made all preparations to win a shocking super contract for Yiyang.

However, Yiyang himself seems not too worried about renewing the contract.

"You can take your time to renew the contract. I believe Mark Cuban will not be stingy with his offer. You know, Mark and I are not just bosses and employees, we are friends." Yiyang was full of confidence. Cuban is not Pat Riley, and he will definitely pay a price that is sincere enough.

Moreover, Yiyang didn't think about how many years he would be able to play, so even if the contract is renewed this time, Yiyang may not renew the contract for five years.

"That's right, what Mark doesn't care about the most is probably money. And with you, he can make money. After all, you are the city hero of Dallas and the box office guarantee of the American Airlines Center Arena. Well, if you If you want to invest, I do have a few suggestions. But I have to say that all investments are risky, so you must be cautious. This is the first thing you need to remember."

"Let's get started, Mr. Duffy!"

So this summer, in addition to still sweating profusely in the training hall, Yiyang also appeared in various business situations in suits and ties.

Due to its good reputation in Dallas, many of Yiyang's business investments in Dallas went very smoothly. Many wealthy people were so happy that they couldn't open their mouths from ear to ear when they saw that their partner was Yiyang.

At the same time, Yiyang did not relax on the basketball court. After all, retirement is just a plan.

Now his task is to do his best to build a second dynasty for the Dallas Mavericks!

This guy Yiyang is going to challenge Michael Jordan.

In the new season, the Mavericks' lineup has almost no changes. However, even so, the Mavericks have actually completed reinforcements. Because Kuzma and Mitchell are two rookies, it is absolutely impossible to stay still. Their growth will allow the Mavericks, who are already strong in their own right, to reach a higher level.

This summer, the Mavericks have not made any big moves, but the teams in the Western Conference have been racking their brains in order to "resist".

Anthony joined the Houston Rockets after a terrible season in Oklahoma City, adding another dimension to the Texas Civil War. LeBron James moves to Staples, does this mean the Purple and Gold Dynasty is about to rise? No, this means that James, like Yiyang, is already planning for retirement. LeBron came to Los Angeles not to win a championship, but for greater business purposes.

The East is equally lively. The exchange of clubs between Leonard and DeRozan will definitely change the league's structure.

Of course, the signing that put the Mavericks under even more pressure and shocked the whole world was that the Warriors acquired DeMarcus, one of the best insiders in the league, for only a "cabbage" price of 5.3 million. .Cousins! Although Cousins ​​will not be able to play until halfway through the season, and his status after his return is not guaranteed. But with this signing, the Warriors will definitely make a profit but not a loss. In last season's Western Conference Finals, Gobert's comeback caused the Warriors to completely collapse in the interior. Now with Cousins, the Warriors have the ability and capital to gain a foothold in the interior.

The Mavericks' only signing this summer was to win the youngest MVP in NBA history, Derrick Rose!

Cuban's motive for signing Rose is clear, which is to fill the void left by Deron's departure. The former "Jordan successor" is now a substitute in the Mavericks. Rose's state in the first two seasons was indeed very bad, which is why people say that the Mavericks' lineup has "almost" remained unchanged, because everyone did not take Rose seriously at all. Compared with the signings of other teams, what is Rose?

However, in the training camp, Yiyang discovered that this guy, who was about the same age as him but had experienced ups and downs in his career, was in pretty good shape during training. Rose is a guy who really wants to get better and is willing to work hard for it. If others suffered injuries like Rose's, they might have chosen to retire long ago. And what about Rose? In Yiyang's view, that "rose" clearly wants to continue blooming.

After the start of the new season, the Mavericks are still the most promising championship candidates. Although the Warriors introduced Cousins, Cousins' status is still a mystery after all.

In the first month, the powerful Mavericks once again posted a complete victory record. Mitchell and Kuzma already look like stars. With the help of these two guys, the pressure on Yiyang is very small. At the end of October, Yiyang suffered a minor ankle sprain and was out of action.

Just when everyone thought the Mavericks' undefeated streak was about to come to an end, Derrick Rose seized the starting opportunity in that game and scored a career-high 50 points in front of the astonished eyes of fans around the world. Helped the Mavericks win the game!

After the game, Rose cried, the commentator cried, and countless fans who had followed him also had red eyes. After the bad times in New York and Cleveland, there was no hope that the rose would ever bloom again. However, this unyielding rose took on a new lease of life at the American Airlines Center Arena.

Yiyang, who was sitting on the sidelines in a suit, was completely stunned. Rose's step-by-step progression from youthfulness in the first quarter to the end perfectly reproduced his growth history.

After this game, Derrick Rose's condition did begin to improve. Although he cannot score 50 points in every game, he has become an indispensable sixth man role in the Mavericks.

The youngest MVP in the past finally became the sixth man, which sounds quite miserable. But judging from Rose's experiences in recent years, it is a blessing among misfortunes that he can still become a sixth man.

With Rose's outstanding performance and the Mavericks as strong as ever, they once again won 70 games this season and once again entered the playoffs as the No. 1 seed in the Western Conference.

In the playoffs, the Dallas Mavericks blocked and killed Buddha and reached the Western Conference Finals with two games 4-0. Facing their old rival James in the first round, the Mavericks defeated the Lakers 4-0, leaving no suspense. In the second round against the Thunder, Westbrook and Paul George also failed to win a game and were unfortunately eliminated. The Mavericks easily reached the Western Conference Finals, and their opponent was the Golden State Warriors with Cousins.

This season, Cousins ​​is still in good shape after his comeback, and the Warriors signed a superstar for US$5.2 million. Without the disadvantage of being inside, the Warriors performed very well in the Western Conference Finals this year.

But even with the Warriors having Cousins, the Mavericks are not lacking in depth. This year, the Warriors successfully pushed the game into a tiebreaker, but were killed by Yiyang's four-pointer in the last 4.3 seconds of Game 7, and missed the finals again.

Mike Breen commented at the time: This may be the most valuable four-point goal in NBA history!

With this miracle of four-point play, the Mavericks entered the NBA Finals for the second consecutive year. This year, the Eastern Conference championship finally no longer belongs to James and the Cavaliers. Yiyang's mentor Brad Stevens has been in the league for many years and finally got his wish and brought the Celtics back to the finals stage.

But facing the stronger Mavericks, Stevens eventually lost 1-4. Kyrie Irving once again competed with Yiyang for the championship after many years, but still failed to take revenge.

Just like that, the Dallas Mavericks won two consecutive championships. The whole world is crazy, because if the Mavericks continue to play like this, it is not impossible for them to win a third championship.

If this is the case, Yiyang will be the first "god man" after Jordan to create two dynasties in the league!

Yiyang's name is increasingly associated with Jordan, and many media even claim that Yiyang is the contemporary Jordan!

Cuban was naturally very excited. At the beginning of the offseason, while stroking his sixth O'Brien Cup, he offered Yiyang a five-year, 180 million super contract!

Just when Cuban thought Yiyang would definitely sign without hesitation, Yiyang smiled and shook his head.

"What!? Five years is too long!?" Cuban's eyes widened. He thought he was deaf.

"Yes, I just want to sign a one-year contract now, Mark." Yiyang looked at the contract and the figure of 180 million, but was not moved at all.

"Why!?"

"Because... I may not be able to play for five years. I think the countdown to my career is about to begin."

Cuban couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear, he was completely frightened. (https:)
