One Guard

"The 3rd overall pick in the 2010 NBA draft, the New Jersey Nets selected...Yiyang from Butler University, China!"

When Jeremy Lin saw Yiyang on the TV, this player with yellow skin and black hair was selected, the top Harvard student stood up from his heart and applauded Yiyang.

Unlike Yiyang, Jeremy Lin is a Chinese-American who was born and lived directly in the United States. But he also understands how difficult it is for an Asian to survive on the American basketball court! It has nothing to do with nationality, only skin color.

Although Jeremy Lin played in an institution of higher learning like Harvard, when he played away games, the fans would not speak civilized words just because he was facing Harvard.

"What can an Asian do? Don't they play table tennis?" This is most people's evaluation of Jeremy Lin after seeing him.

In fact, Jeremy Lin didn't know that what Yiyang experienced was even more difficult than him. At least Jeremy Lin has a happy family and living environment. But Yiyang can only associate with crime.

After seeing Yiyang being selected, Jeremy Lin has been looking forward to his name being read out by the white-haired old man on stage. The Chinese-American man began to pray to the heavens, even if it would take up all the luck in his life, it would not hesitate!

However, it turns out that God does not favor everyone. When the Suns selected Miami forward Dwayne Collins with the 60th overall pick, Lin knew he would never hear his name from Stern again.

Jeremy Lin suddenly felt extremely sad when he saw Yi Yang taking a photo with other lottery rookies on the TV. Why? Why is the basketball dream always so far away from me...

"Yi's advancing speed is too fast! On a stage like the summer league, no one can keep up with him! There is no skill at all, and Yi directly breaks through! It's easy, and Yi also comes in with the ball. He wants to attack the frame Is it? No, it was a breakaway goal. It also distributed the ball beyond the three-point line, where Jeremy Lin had been lying in wait for a long time. Good shot, the Mavericks scored another three points, from the cooperation of two Asian guards, it was really beautiful !"

A few months ago, when Jeremy Lin saw Yi Yang was successfully selected on TV, he never imagined that one day he would be able to fight side by side with the Chinese on TV.

Jeremy Lin, who made a three-pointer, happily extended his hand. Yiyang did not refuse, and gave the yellow-skinned American a high-five.

"It's 20 points. Under the leadership of Yi, the Dallas Mavericks have already led the Lakers by 20 points! If they win this game again, the Mavericks will usher in their fourth consecutive victory!"

"This kind of game is too easy for Yi. Looking at the entire summer league, only Wall's performance can be compared with Yi. This MOP in the NCAA Final Four last season is worthy of the name!"

The narrators praised Yiyang fiercely. At the scene, countless Chinese burst out with enthusiasm that was no worse than that of foreigners.

Because there are two Chinese players in the Mavericks team, their games always attract many local Chinese groups to watch.

At this point, the summer league has played three games. Yiyang lived up to expectations, averaging 23.6 points, 12 assists and 2.8 steals in three games. The Mavericks, of course, also made great strides, winning three games in a row.

Today, facing the Los Angeles Lakers, Yiyang has no intention of stopping. Although Yiyang is a Lakers fan, the Lakers team in the summer league has almost nothing to do with the real Lakers, so naturally Yiyang will not show mercy. Halfway through the fourth quarter, Yiyang has already scored 28 points, and after assisting Jeremy Lin to make a three-pointer just now, his assist count has officially become 10.

Assistant coach Terry Stotts, who led the Mavericks to summer league, was ecstatic.

If this guy Yiyang trains properly, maybe he can really lift the banner from old Kidd's shoulders!

After that, the Lakers weakly launched another offense. Yi Yang didn't even recognize the point guard wearing the Lakers practice jersey. His movements are more fancy than Yiyang's when he first entered Butler, good-looking but full of loopholes!

Yiyang has already begun to feel that the game is a little boring. The level of this summer league may not be as good as the NCAA. He didn't give the opponent's defender another chance to perform, so Yiyang saw the timing and sprinted straight away! Extend the long arm and intercept the basketball.

The Lakers point guard just felt a gust of wind blow by, and then, the basketball was swept away by that one.

After Yiyang made the steal, he started to speed up immediately, but what surprised Stotts was that Jeremy Lin could barely keep up with Yiyang's speed and participate in the fast break!

In fact, Jeremy Lin's speed is indeed not slow. In the official NBA data, you can even see his speed test results, which are not far behind Yiyang and Wall! These data are facts that can be found. But when Jeremy Lin stands in front of people, his yellow skin always makes people think, "This guy is too slow."

Or "he just has speed for nothing".

Although Jeremy Lin followed closely behind Yiyang, there was no need for Yiyang to pass the ball when faced with an empty basket.

This guy jumped directly on one foot, exerted force on his hand, and once again staged an earth-shattering dunk. The Lakers point guard reluctantly picked up the basketball from the ground. He knew that his NBA career was completely shut down by Yi Yang.

After the dunk, the Lakers ceremonially called a timeout. Everyone knows that this timeout doesn't mean much to them.

After the end, Terry Stotts also replaced Yiyang. Jeremy Lin, on the other hand, was left on the court. That guy from Harvard still has to prove himself.

"How do you feel?" After making the arrangements, Stotts sat down beside Yiyang with ease. As long as Yiyang is not the kind of guy who drives high and low, then Cuban has made a deal this time that only earns but not loses!

"It's too easy. This kind of game should not help me play in the NBA." Yiyang answered bluntly.

"Hahahaha, it seems that the summer league is really not the place for people like you to come. But don't worry, you will have to play in the next game." Stotts had a smirk on his face.

"Next game?"

"Boom!" The cheers on the scene overshadowed the conversation between Yiyang and Stotts, although the simple venues of the summer league can only accommodate more than 1,000 people, which is one-tenth or even twenty-tenths of the NBA arena one. But the combined roar of more than a thousand people is enough to deafen the ears.

On the field, Jeremy Lin's breakthrough caused a foul by Lakers rookie Devin Ebanks. His killing is the reason why the fans cheered.

The camera showed Yiyang on the bench, but Yiyang wasn't too excited. Just now, when coach Stotts told him about his opponent in the next round, Yiyang instantly lost the last trace of interest in the game in front of him.

In the end, although Yiyang left the field early, the Lakers were powerless. 86 to 65, the Mavericks beat the Lakers with a huge difference of 21 points, and achieved four consecutive victories since the beginning of the summer league!

Although it was only the summer league, due to the particularities of Yiyang and Jeremy Lin, after the game ended, many Chinese media still gathered around and interviewed Yiyang and Jeremy Lin.

"Congratulations on winning another game! Also, today you scored a new league high of 30 points! Can your state continue to climb?" A Chinese reporter asked excitedly. Yang's performance has already made the domestic fans ecstatic. You know, when Wang Zhizhi and Yi Jianlian played in the summer league, they only averaged around ten points per game. And the national team defender Sun Yue, who is currently participating in the summer league, is even more difficult to find!

"The joint efforts of my teammates made the victory, I just did what I had to do." The boy from Woodlands is not as quiet as before, but he still doesn't talk much.

"How do you evaluate Jeremy Lin's performance?" Another Chinese reporter directly called out Jeremy Lin's Chinese name.

"Jeremy?" Yiyang was stunned for a second before he realized it, because he usually called Jeremy Lin Jeremy Lin instead of his Chinese name. Even Jeremy Lin himself felt a little awkward hearing that Chinese name.

"Jeremy...well, Jeremy Lin scored 13 points today, which is enough to explain everything."

Finally, Mu Ran who also came to the scene raised the topic, and Chao Yiyang leaned over. Seeing Mu Ran, Yi Yang suddenly relaxed for some reason. This reporter seems to have an inexplicable affinity.

"Congratulations on your victory, but we all know that in the next game, you will play against the Washington Wizards. I believe this game will be a real challenge for you!"

It wasn't until Mu Ran asked the question that the other reporters knew that Yiyang's next opponent was the Wizards. and many more? Isn't Sun Yue playing in the Wizards summer league now?

The reporters looked at Yiyang's gaze again, and it turned out to be different! All of them raised the topic, hoping to hear good words from Yiyang who are eager to beat the seniors of the national team.

"It is indeed a challenge. I played against John Wall in high school. Now that he has become the No. 1 pick, I think he should be even more difficult to deal with."

After Yiyang finished speaking, the other reporters were disappointed. After a long time, Mu Ran and Yi Yang were discussing Wall! Maybe they don't even know who Sun Yue is. Mu Ran smiled, this kid is not even afraid of the champion!

"Okay, thank you for accepting the interview." Mu Ran put down the microphone, turned sideways, and let Yi Yang walk into the player tunnel.

"Brother Mu, why didn't you tell us earlier?"

"That's right, the next game will be against the Wizards, and Yiyang will be against the No. 1 pick. That's very worthy of a close-up!"

""Summer League Chinese Derby"!"

""Yiyang Declares War on the Number One Scholar!""

Exaggerated headlines even appeared in the minds of the reporters.

Mu Ran didn't answer his colleagues, he just turned around and watched Yiyang's back disappear into the depths of the player tunnel.

Yiyang is already full of fighting spirit at this moment, and he is about to face a terrible opponent, but Yiyang is very excited!

Summer League, finally something interesting. The corner of the Chinese boy's mouth is slightly raised...
