One Guard

Yiyang's refusal to sign the Mavericks contract became the biggest news in the entire league this summer. After that, Cuban offered a five-year, $201 million contract, hoping to let Yiyang play in Dallas for another five years. However, Yiyang still didn't sign.

"You haven't understood that it's not about the money, Mark. I may be able to play for five more years, maybe one more year. Even I don't know how long I can play, so I decided to fight you year by year. Renew the contract. Don't worry Mark, if I want to retire, I will definitely tell you a year in advance." Yiyang sat at Cuban's desk and pushed back the $200 million contract.

200 million US dollars, many players will never make that much money in their lifetime. If they saw Yiyang pushing $200 million to Cuban, they would definitely think that there was something wrong with Yiyang's mind.

"I know, too, but I'm afraid..."

"What? Do you think I will leave Dallas?" Yiyang smiled, and Cuban's expression already told Yiyang the answer.

It's not without reason that Cuban has such concerns. Even James left Cleveland for the second time and Leonard left the Spurs. In this league now, how many stars are willing to play for the same team for their entire careers? loyalty? Loyalty is worthless in the face of business! As long as Yiyang wants to leave, all the remaining 29 teams in the league are willing to take over with a bloody hand, as long as he says a word!

Yiyang didn't wait for Cuban to answer, and continued talking to himself, "I was selected by Dallas, and I promise you that I will lead everyone back to the top. I started from the bench until I made a big splash in the playoffs." Amazing. I saw Dirk fighting for rebounds for me in the paint, and Carter steadily turning my passes into assists and three-pointers. I felt like they were teammates in the same trench as me, not just one. Name, not just a role player with miserable statistics in the broadcast. Later, the management gave me a great contract, and there were more and more messages and support from local fans on my Twitter and Facebook. I saw this city A huge poster of me hung on the most eye-catching billboard. I integrated into the city and everyone began to love me.”

Cuban didn't know why Yiyang said this, but he didn't interrupt Yiyang's speech.

"Then, you started to build the lineup around me. I was slowly selected as the Player of the Week, Player of the Month, MVP, All-Star, and even broke several team records. I led my team to build a dynasty. One summer later, the management based on my advice, traded for my right-hand man. My old guys and I were gearing up to prepare for the new season. We all vowed to win another championship! We won one championship after another. , and then it starts all over again... You understand? Mark. This is Dallas, this is the Mavericks, here are my brothers, my teachers, my family, this is what I love and am willing to sacrifice for. All the teams! In a place like this, how could I possibly think of running away?"

Yiyang rarely spoke so much to one person. After hearing this, Cuban suddenly felt his nose was a little sore. Because he knew that what Yiyang told him was from his heart...

Yes, when the Dallas Mavericks are mentioned, or even the city of Dallas is mentioned, the first person that people think of is Yiyang! He is more than just a basketball player to this city. He is the hero here, he is the symbol of this city! Others may leave for the championship and money, but Yiyang, if he leaves Dallas, he will not be a complete Yiyang.

"I...I get it, too. But...you're not even 30 yet, man. You know what you're talking about? Retirement? LeBron James got in seven years before you. Alliance, but he hasn't even thought about quitting yet. Vince only decided to quit this year, but he is already 42 years old!" It can be seen that Cuban is still trying his best to retain.

"I just want to focus on my family and once I get on the court, I have to do my best. If I had a big contract and played half-heartedly... I couldn't do it.

I have promised my wife that if I win another championship, I will retire. So, Mark. We will sign for one year, and after one year, I will decide whether to continue playing on the basketball court. Besides, even without me, the Mavericks still have Mitchell, Gordon and Kuzma. It's easy for you to get back to the top. "

Yiyang has not had a complete family since he was a child, so he attaches great importance to his family. As a professional player of this level, as long as he continues to play, he is destined to not be able to spend too much time with his family.

"Okay, Yi. I respect your choice, but I still want to say that I hope you can play for a few more years. I will give you a new contract tomorrow. Next season... we will definitely Want to win the championship!"

Yiyang shook hands with Cuban and discussed business with this guy. There was no sense of oppression at all when facing the boss. Cuban is so approachable, otherwise, how could he be considered the most humane owner in the NBA?

The day after Yiyang had a chat with Cuban, when the entire league was speculating "Where is Yiyang going?", the famous sports reporter Wojnarowski broke a piece of bombshell news.

"The Dallas Mavericks are offering Yiyang 40 million a year, and the two parties are close to signing a contract."

As soon as this news came out, fans and reporters felt nothing but surprise.

40 million a year, which works out to almost 201 million in five years. Since the price has not changed, why was Yiyang unwilling to sign the contract in the first place? Wouldn't signing a five-year long-term contract be more secure for Yiyang?

One day after the news broke, Mu Ran went to Yiyang's home very puzzled and conducted a one-on-one interview with Yiyang.

When Mu Ran entered the house, Yiyang was teaching his youngest son to play basketball. Vignali's belly has swelled, and it looks like Yiyang's second child will be born soon.

For a moment, Mu Ran seemed to understand something. But he told himself in his heart, don’t be what you think!

"Also, was it because he refused to renew his contract with the Mavericks this time because he had contact with other teams?" Mu Ran got straight to the point. Apart from this reason, there is no explanation why Yiyang didn't want the five-year, 201 million contract.

"Have you been in contact with other teams? Are you awake yet? Mu Ran, I won't go anywhere except Dallas." Yiyang spread his hands. He never thought about leaving Dallas, leaving... ..That’s also leaving the basketball court completely.

Mu Ran wrote down exactly what Yiyang said in his column, so people were even more puzzled.

Since he doesn’t want to leave, and it’s not about money, could it be that Yiyang is having a fool’s errand?

At this time, some completely different voices appeared on the Internet. Apart from Yiyang's funny brain, there is another possibility. That means Yiyang probably doesn't want to fight!

At first, people found this statement a bit incredible. But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't make sense. 6-time NBA championship, 6-time regular season MVP, 5-time Finals MVP, 1-time Defensive Player of the Year, 2-time league scoring champion, 7-time league assist leader, 6-time All-NBA First Team selection, 6-time All-NBA selection Best defensive first team, 8-time NBA All-Star selection, 7-time All-Star starting lineup...

Although Yiyang's career is not that long, the honors he has won over the years are something that most players cannot achieve even after 20 years of playing. It can be said that he only used half the time of others to achieve the honor that others may have struggled to pursue throughout their lives! This alliance no longer poses many challenges to Yiyang. Didn't Jordan announce his first retirement at the age of 30?

This "brain-breaking" inference instantly caused the fans to panic, but Yiyang did not make any comments on the matter...

"In short, I just want to work hard to create a second dynasty."

This is what Yiyang said most often when facing reporters.
