One Guard

No matter how the outside world views Yiyang's only one-year contract with the Mavericks, Yiyang still bids farewell to his family with reluctance and longing, and begins his new year's campaign.

At this time, Yiyang was already the father of two children. Just as he and Vignali had imagined, the second one was a girl.

The child inherited Vignelie's blond hair and delicate facial features, but also had some oriental features. Both mixed-race babies are very good-looking. People even say that if Yiyang's two children don't play basketball in the future, they will definitely become famous figures in the entertainment industry in the future.

But Yiyang couldn't spend time with his wife and newborn daughter. As soon as the new season started, Yiyang became the workaholic again.

This season is still not easy for Yiyang. In addition to the rise of many teams in the Eastern Conference, Yiyang also suffered the first major injury in his career.

A professional player's physical condition will decline day by day starting from the age of 30. Yiyang deeply feels this change. In January, during a game between the Mavericks and the 76ers, the tired Yiyang accidentally tore the anterior ligament of his left knee when landing a layup. When Yiyang fell, Mike Breen, who was commentating on the game, Didn't even react. Because in the past ten years, Yiyang has never suffered a major injury.

People thought that Yiyang would come back after a few minutes of rest. People also thought that Yiyang would return to the court after taking a break of at most three days. But the official result of the Mavericks is that Yiyang will miss at least three months and will be reimbursed for the regular season!

The whole world exploded! A player who has been working hard on the court for ten years suddenly suffered a major injury! All Mavericks fans and Yiyang fans fell into panic. Yiyang missed the entire regular season and may not even make it to the first round of the series. So where will the Dallas Mavericks go from here?

The hospital where Yiyang is located is surrounded by a large number of reporters every day. Anyone who comes in and out of Yiyang's ward is bound to be overwhelmed by the crowd.

The biggest question for everyone now is: After Yiyang returns, how much better can he perform?

There are countless superstars who have been troubled by major injuries. Names such as Greg Oden and Brandon Roy make people shudder when they are mentioned. A torn anterior knee ligament is no ordinary injury. Can Yiyang still rule the alliance after recovering? Can he still lead the Mavericks to a championship?

But in Yiyang's ward, Vignali took care of him day and night every day, never asking a question. Isn't there a saying that says so? Others only care about whether you win or not, but I care about whether you are tired or not.

"You are not yet 30 years old, just do this for me." When Cuban came to visit Yiyang, it was obvious that the boss was very sad.

"There's nothing I can do about it. Maybe my luck has run out in the past ten years." Yiyang spread his hands, still with a smile on his face. Regarding this injury, Yiyang is actually quite optimistic. He firmly believes that he can still show his previous form after his comeback. He will not be restrained by injuries, nor will he become afraid of confrontation because of injuries.

The reason is simple. After other players are injured, what they need to consider is their own careers for the next ten years or so. But Yiyang, all he needs to consider is this season!

"Mark, there is something I want to discuss with you."

Cuban looked at Yiyang, he already knew what was going on. But when Yiyang really wanted to tell him, he was not mentally prepared.

"I know what you are going to say, but don't say it yet. You are only 30 years old, and if Dirk were here, he would definitely not allow you to retire! He entered the league so many years earlier than you, but he is only 30 years older than you. Retiring one year early is not in line with the norm at all!" Cuban's attitude has not changed. He hopes that Yiyang can continue to play for the Mavericks.

Even if you give him 200 million, 300 million, or 1 billion! Cuban is willing!

"I feel exhausted, Mark."

What Cuban didn't expect was that Yiyang actually said such a sentence.

“I didn’t take a break for almost ten years straight;

Playing ball all the time. Moreover, along with the fame comes the fact that he has no private life at all. Every word, every move I make is put under a microscope and scrutinized by people, and it becomes the talk of the streets. Even my family is implicated and anything about me will be made public. As you can see, this hospital is packed with reporters everywhere except this room. Vignali would be surrounded by reporters even if she just went out to buy something. You know Mark, I feel like a fish in a glass tank. For people to watch, there is no freedom. "

Hearing this, Cuban said nothing. Yes, a superstar like him, no, a superstar among superstars, is under pressure that he cannot imagine.

"I never spent my son's birthday with him because his birthday was always during the playoffs. My honeymoon with Vignali was only a week long, and I could only communicate with him by phone when my mother was sick in the hospital. That's all. In 2006, it was Vignali who exchanged her hard work for my willfulness. I fought willfully on the court and spent all my time on basketball. When I got married that year, I had promised to Vigne Nali's father, I said that after getting married, I would put my family first. But to be honest, I broke my promise. But now, I want to make up for all this. If there is anything I need most now, it is family. ! So, I have made up my mind. I will not tell you again that I haven’t decided how long I will fight. What I want to tell you is. Choose a day and let us make this matter public!"

"Is there really no room for redemption?" Cuban asked for the last time.

"Don't worry, Mark. This season, even if I work hard, I will bring you the O'Brien Cup!" Yiyang replied firmly.

Five days later, the Dallas Mavericks officially held a large press conference in the media reception room of the American Airlines Center Arena. People thought that the Mavericks would announce the latest status of Yiyang's injury, but Mark Cuban shocked the entire basketball world with a heavy tone.

"Yiyang has decided to officially retire after this season."

There was a fuss underneath, but Cuban didn't want to answer any questions at all. This fat boss, who usually smiles, had red eyes today in front of reporters from all over the world.

Yiyang announced that he will officially retire. This news became a hot topic around the world. LeBron James is still helping the giants revive in Los Angeles. Rose, who was injured more seriously than Yiyang, is still serving as a substitute sharp knife for the Mavericks. Wade, once Yiyang's right-hand man, only retired this year, and Nowitzki left the American Airlines Center Arena in less than half a year.

At this juncture, Yiyang suddenly announced his retirement. People speculate that it must be because of this injury, which is very unsatisfactory. Who is Yiyang? That's a paranoid even more paranoid than Kobe. This guy's desire to win is greater than anything else! A person with such a strong self-esteem will definitely not be able to accept his own sinking. Wade and Rose may be able to accept their new roles after injuries, but Yiyang, the superstar who has dominated the league for the past seven years, will never compromise.

Random speculation and irresponsible reporting by the media have made such claims widely circulated. Yiyang is gone, an era has ended, and the Mavericks are destined to be unable to establish a second dynasty.

But in addition to cynicism, there were also many fans' actions that moved Yiyang extremely. The number of comments on Yiyang's official Twitter and the Mavericks homepage skyrocketed, even causing the servers to crash. The content of the fans' messages can be summed up in one sentence: "Don't leave Yiyang."

In addition, many Mavericks fans spontaneously organized street parades, hoping that Yiyang could stay and continue playing.

Parading for a professional athlete, Yiyang's influence is so great that it seems even slightly inferior to Jordan back then!

Seeing these actions of the fans, Yiyang really felt a little soft-hearted. But looking at the growing children, the aging mother and the physically and mentally exhausted wife, Yiyang still made up his mind. A family cannot be supported by women alone.

As for those rumors, Yiyang didn't show up to answer them at all. At this time, Yiyang had already started doing some restorative training. And his promise to bring the championship back to Dallas is more than just words. This guy Yiyang has always kept his word!

In the end, the Mavericks, led by Mitchell, Kuzma and Hayward, still won 60 games and entered the playoffs as second in the Western Conference. The Golden State Warriors finally had the opportunity to taste the taste of No. 1.

At this time, reporters had already photographed Yiyang training on the training ground. But the specific status is not clear.

In the first game of the series, facing the rising Phoenix Suns, the Mavericks fought hard for 6 games before finally advancing. Ayton and Devin Booker have brought too much trouble to the Mavericks. Without Yiyang, the Mavericks seem to lose their absolute dominance over the game. Mudiay and Rose performed well, but these two guys have never been able to fill the gap left by Yiyang. Looking at the entire league, who can replace Yiyang?

After the first round, people were most concerned about Yiyang's injury. After all, in the second round they faced the Los Angeles Lakers led by LeBron James. Without Yiyang, the Mavericks might have had a very difficult time.

In the first game of the series, Yiyang finally returned to the sidelines and warmed up with his teammates, but he did not play from the beginning to the end, but watched silently from the sidelines.

In this game, Lonzo Ball, who was carefully trained by the Lakers, locked up the Mavericks' defense line. This guy is now known as the best defensive number one position in the league after Yiyang! Brandon Ingram made a huge splash on the offensive end with 8 three-pointers. He is becoming more and more like Durant! In the end, coupled with LeBron's violent impact, the Lakers defeated the Dallas Mavericks 108-100! It seems that the once arrogant Mavericks and Yiyang are about to fall from the altar!

After the game, reporters ignored Ball, Ingram and even James. Instead, they all rushed to Yiyang and asked him what he thought of the game.

Yiyang, who returned to people's sight after three and a half months, still looks majestic, and every word he says seems to be unquestionable.

Yiyang scratched his head and said: "I reiterate, our goal this year is the O'Brien Cup!"

"So, will you come back in the next game?" The reporter asked anxiously. If Yiyang really retires, then he will have one less game to watch.

"In the next game," Yiyang looked at the camera and paused, "I will score at least 40 points on Lonzo Ball."

Amid the surprised looks and shouts of the reporters, Yiyang turned around and walked into the locker room. (https:)
