One Guard
Final Chapter: Continuing the Legend
Joel Embiid wanted to end Yiyang's era, but when the Finals played four games and the 76ers lost three games, Embiid found out. Only he himself can end Yiyang's era.
On June 12, Game 5 of the NBA Finals, at the American Airlines Center Arena in Dallas. Today, fans all over Dallas gathered at the scene and around the stadium. The ratings of this game created a record high in the history of the NBA Finals, and fans all over the world are waiting to watch this game. Watch Yiyang lift the O'Brien Cup, watch Yiyang establish his second dynasty, watch Yiyang's last duel...
Before the start of the game, a short film of paying tribute to Yiyang was played on the big screen in the American Airlines Center Arena. From the beginning of the draft to the moment when he is about to win the O'Brien Cup for the seventh time, every bit of Yiyang's life has been integrated into that short video.
Mavericks fans are so confident, they firmly believe that Yiyang will definitely win the 76ers in this game. Although before that, the total score of the series was 3 to 1. But many people felt that if it wasn't for Yiyang to play the last leg of his career at home, the Mavericks might have won the championship as early as when they were in Philadelphia.
Of course, such a statement is nonsense. The 76ers can win that game, relying on their strength. But in the finals, winning a game won't do much.
Yiyang's name is printed on the floor of the American Airlines Center arena. Before the start of the game, Cuban also personally unveiled the red cloth of the bronze statue of Yiyang outside the American Airlines Center arena. As early as last year, Cuban was already preparing the bronze statue. If Yiyang wants to retire, he is absolutely willing to do anything for Yiyang.
You know, even the bronze statue of Dirk Nowitzki is still in the planning stage. And before Yiyang retired, his bronze statue had already been made.
This game is not like the finals at all, but a farewell party for Yiyang fans. No matter how potential Embiid, Fultz, Simmons and others have, they can only experience all this as a supporting role today.
When Yiyang entered the stadium, fans all over the world cheered wildly for him. Last summer, people were still imagining that Yiyang might win three or four more championships. But now, Yiyang has come to the end of his career.
Maybe the NBA is no longer a challenge for him, maybe he wants to transform from a good player to a good father, a good son, a good husband. No matter what the reason is, as long as Yiyang makes a decision, the fans will respect it immensely.
Facing the cheers from the fans, Yiyang just waved to the stands, and a "huge wave" was set off. The entire stands of the American Airlines Center Arena are covered in blue, and Yiyang is the "Sea God" standing in the middle of the sea!
"I have never seen such a legendary star! If he can retire with the O'Brien Cup today, his career is simply too romantic and perfect! Does Yi have any regrets in his career? If so, That is, he has never experienced the feeling of losing in the finals!" Mike Breen stared at the court intently, and this was his last chance to witness this legendary performance.
After the start of the game, the 76ers did not release water because today is Yiyang's retirement performance. Unlike Kobe's retirement performance, this is the finals, but the finals that the 76ers have spent more than ten years in exchange for! But since Allen Iverson, the 76ers reached the Finals for the first time!
With such a rare opportunity, the 76ers will not give Yiyang this favor because of his retirement.
Embiid showed his aggressiveness as soon as he came up. His offense today was only violent, which made it difficult for Gobert, the two-time best defensive player.
But soon, under Yiyang's organization, the Mavericks began to counterattack. Their offense played so smoothly that the 76ers couldn't grasp the focus of defense at all. The defense is also very tacit, and the timing of switching defenses and assisting defenses is just right.
With Yiyang here, the Mavericks and the 76ers are completely different teams.
The Mavericks can firmly grasp the court situation, and what the 76ers can do is to try to overtake the score in the chaotic battle. In the last game in Philadelphia, the 76ers won a game in such a way.
The game went very smoothly. After three quarters, the Mavericks led the 76ers by 12 points. Although the difference of 12 points is not too big, it is almost an insurmountable gap for a team like the Mavericks that will hardly collapse!
In the fourth quarter of the game, the fans cheered and their eyes were rosy. Carlisle was also very face-saving and didn't replace Yiyang in advance. This guy's last show, let him have a blast!
In the last second of the game, Yiyang made a long shot at the buzzer with his iconic step-back three-pointer, fixing the score at 113-101! At that moment, the crowd surged, and many fans wanted to rush into the stadium, but they were stopped by extra security personnel! Blue confetti fell from the sky, and Yiyang knelt on the ground, weeping with joy. Of course, I don't know whether he cried for the championship or for his career that has ended.
As for Embiid and Simmons? No one cared about them, and the moment the game ended, the 76ers players seemed to disappear.
Everyone came over to hug Yiyang, and everyone had tears on their faces. Even Gobert, who has always been tough, cried like a child when he hugged Yiyang.
"You are gone, who will lead us to win the championship!" Gobert has been inseparable from Yiyang since the beginning of his career. Together, they avenged the entire league and became one of the greatest duo in the league. Now, Gobert suddenly wants to take Yiyang away in his career, and this tough French guy is still very reluctant.
"I can't take you with me forever, Rudy. Work hard, without me, you are still champions!"
Old Dirk, Kidd, Terry, Peja, Stephenson... Almost all of Yiyang's friends came to the scene. They stood on the sidelines in suits and leather shoes, and their eyes were full of Yiyang when he first entered the league. look.
It's just a blink of an eye, and I haven't recovered yet. That Asian boy in the Wood District has turned into a man in his 30s!
Standing at 30...
"Okay! No one is allowed to cry! How many times have I said this! When we win, we should laugh!" Yi Yang shouted loudly, he didn't expect that this day would turn out like this. After all, even he himself was sobbing.
He thought he was mentally prepared, ready to leave the basketball court and throw himself into the arms of his family. But at this moment, when the electronic buzzer sounded on the backboard, everything that happened in the past ten years, those blood and sweat, those broken halberds and heavy sand, flashed before Yiyang's eyes.
At that moment, Yiyang finally understood what it means to be reluctant! But sometimes, a man should let go of some reluctance and do what he should do! Men standing at 30 can no longer use emotional things like reluctance to influence their decisions and judgments.
The Mavericks may no longer need him. They have Rudy, Mitchell, Kuzma, and their college comrade Gordon. But that family did not have a second husband, a second father and a second son.
Standing on the podium, Dang Yiyang received the O'Brien Cup from the NBA president seven times. The strangest photo in BA history was born like this.
Everyone in the Mavericks team had smiles on their faces, but everyone had rosy eyes and tears running down their cheeks.
A dynasty was re-established, but a legend came to an end.
Looking at those people laughing or crying, watching the noisy stadium, watching the big screen, watching the O'Brien Cup in his hand, there is always a voice in Yiyang's mind, a voice that pulls him back to the scene ten years ago. sound.
In the 2010 NBA draft, the Nets lost Evan Turner and were worried that there would be no more suitable candidates. At this moment, Nets general manager Billy King received a call from Cuban...
Yiyang sat under the stage nervously, his whole body trembling slightly. And beside him are those talented players who have already become famous.
Boom! Back to that night in 2010, David Stern had a kind face and muttered...
"In the 2010 NBA draft, the New Jersey Nets chose..." The old man paused for a second, and then he read out the name of the "god" who would dominate the NBA in the future, even comparable to Jordan.
"Yiyang! From Butler University!"
Yiyang jumped up and hugged his mother, just like today, with smiles and tears running side by side.
The curtain opens, it's your turn to play!
※※※
17 years later...
The Dallas Mavericks were once again blocked from the playoffs. Watching the 40-year-old Kyle Kuzma break his calf and fail to lead the team to the playoffs, the fans in the stands couldn't help but sigh.
"That ungrateful guy Mitchell, if he hadn't defected to the Houston Rockets..."
"It can't be blamed on him. After all, Mitchell can't refuse Chris Paul's call. You know, one of the conditions for Paul to become the head coach of the Rockets is that the Rockets must get Mitchell."
"I really miss that time. 17 years ago, Yiyang led us to establish a second dynasty in this place! Who knows that since he retired...we have only won one championship... "
"Yeah, every time I see that No. 1 jersey hanging in the arena, I miss him so much. On the day of the jersey retirement ceremony, I cried like a three-year-old child."
"What are you doing now? I heard that his cigar business in Los Angeles is getting bigger and bigger."
"That's right, with Dirk, an old smoker, helping Yiyang to check, it must be a good job!"
Although almost 20 years have passed, although the huge poster of this city has changed from Yiyang to Kuzma, although the No. 1 jersey hanging on the American Airlines Center Arena has become obsolete, although Yiyang The bronze statue has also undergone dozens of maintenances, large and small. But Yiyang, a name that has not often appeared in front of the public, is still mentioned by the fans here from time to time.
Don't people say that? As long as a player's name is still remembered, he has never "retired".
"It would be great if we could win Yiyi this year. A tiger father has no sons. Although Butler University fell in the semi-finals this year, Yiyi's performance really has his father's demeanor!"
"I hope, Mark Cuban must not miss this opportunity, that fat old man must choose Yiyi to come to Dallas!"
Two months later, the NBA Draft.
"Third pick in the 2037 NBA Draft, the Dallas Mavericks selected...Yiyi, from Butler University!"
Fans all over Dallas fell into the carnival, as if they had found their own savior. At this time, in the luxurious private room, the bearded Yiyang lightly clinked wine glasses with the white-haired Cuban.
The legend of Dallas may be about to continue...(https:)
