One Guard

"You must be Yi's mother, right? Come on madam, the luxurious private room is here." When Cuban saw Wen Xue for the first time, he was a little surprised. The chubby owner of the Mavericks didn't expect that Yiyang's mother looked so young.

Because of living in a poor environment for many years, Yiyang's mother looks petite and thin. But now she is wearing a beautiful dress, so you can't tell that this is a woman from the Wood District.

"Luxury box? Oh, sir, I thought my seat was on the sidelines." Wen Xue was a little flattered. The Mavericks not only reimbursed her all expenses for watching Yiyang's game today, but even specially arranged a box for her. This kind of treatment, a year ago, Wen Xue would never have dared to think about it.

Cuban is a very humane boss, he knows how to control the hearts of players. "Of course not, ma'am. Actually, I also like to watch the game from the sidelines. It's more atmospheric. But today, it's the first game of the new season for the Mavericks. There are too many fans and they are all too enthusiastic. Go down, I'm afraid We're going to be overwhelmed."

"Thank you so much, Mr. Cuban. My son he..."

"Your son should be in the locker room now. I believe he will be able to make you proud today." Cuban smiled and made a "please" gesture. Since even Kidd and Terry kept praising Yiyang in front of him, then Cuban believed it. The Tanhua who he robbed will definitely not let him down!

Inside the home team's locker room at the American Airlines Center, the atmosphere wasn't as lively as it was outside. All the players were quietly changing gear and receiving relaxing massages from masseurs.

As a newcomer to the team, Yiyang naturally sat in front of his own cabinet honestly. The luxury of this locker room far exceeded Yiyang's imagination. His jersey and sneakers have already been neatly placed in the cabinet. The security chief named Brock Andy stood conscientiously at the door of the locker room, whenever Yiyang glanced at him, he would always smile back.

"Hey, why are you in a daze!? Have you memorized the tactics assigned by the coach?" Terry, who was shirtless, walked up to Yiyang, snapped his fingers, and then pulled Yiyang, who had dull eyes, back to reality Come.

This season, Yiyang's locker is next to Terry, and the two will always be next to each other in the locker room. For such an arrangement, Terry is quite satisfied.

"I remember." Yiyang replied simply.

"Hey, haven't you shown them your new tattoo yet?" Terry smirked at Yiyang.

"New tattoo? Hey, why didn't you tell us earlier!" Mavericks' starting center "Boxing Champion" Tyson Chandler was immediately interested. This defensive champion also seemed to be a tattoo lover.

Terry raised his arms, flexing his muscles. Since the inside of the arm was turned outward when doing this action, it was only then that people discovered that this guy had tattooed a small O'Brien Cup and the word "champion" on the inside of his arm.

Yiyang also imitated Terry's movements and started to do it. On the exact same position, Yiyang also tattooed a small O'Brien Cup and the word "champion". This tattoo is almost invisible when the arms are drooping, but it is very conspicuous as long as it moves.

"Hahahaha, you're so fucking arrogant. But seriously, you're a good fit for a tattoo. Cool, buddy." Chandler gave Yiyang a light hammer on his chest, and this tough center instantly fell in love with Yiyang up.

"We also invited Dirk that night, but he rejected us cruelly." Immediately afterwards, Terry made a joke about Nowitzki.

"You know I don't have tattoos, Jeter. Also, you're the first Chinese player I've seen with tattoos." Nowitzki remembered the Chinese player Wang Zhizhi who once worked with him in the same locker room. Wang Zhizhi's honest and honest image is Nowitzki's perception of all Chinese people.

But some wicked Yiyang turned everything upside down.

"The tea party time is over, gentlemen! Hurry up and change the equipment, we should go to the court to warm up!" Mavericks coach Carlisle shouted and the players stopped chatting. Everyone began to work mentally, and Yiyang also took his own No. 1 jersey from the cabinet. Still a familiar number, or a familiar name. It's just that the jersey has become blue and white, and the letters on the chest have also become "".

"Hey, they didn't write your name wrong, did they?" Terry pointed to the place where Yiyang's name was written on the back of Yiyang's jersey with a serious face.

Yiyang turned over his jersey to take a look, then shook his head.

"Then what are you waiting for? Put it on, rookie! We're going to have a blast!"

Yiyang followed Terry in the player tunnel. Although he hasn't played yet, the warm atmosphere has already rushed to his face.

Yiyang has experienced the baptism of the NCAA finals, but the atmosphere of the NBA game is even more shocking than the NCAA.

"Just follow me out later, no matter what the fans say to you, no matter what the Bobcats mob looks at you, you have to straighten my fucking back!" Terry turned around , supported Yiyang's shoulders with both hands, and yelled at him.

"Are you ready? We're going!" After that, the German, who was still very docile in the locker room, turned into an angry golden-haired lion in an instant!

"Ready!" The Mavericks responded.

"Let's go!" Nowitzki waved his hand, led the team to a trot, and rushed out of the player channel.

Yiyang followed behind Terry, his hands were tightly clenched into fists, and his heart was beating wildly.

"...Let's welcome~~~~Dallas~~~~~~ Mavericks!" The moment Yiyang rushed out of the player tunnel, the DJ on the scene also yelled. After this roar, there were more than 20,000 fans shouting overwhelmingly!

"Come on, Dirk! Beat 'em up!"

"Come on! Cowboys!"

"Don't be nervous, rookie, you can do it!" Yiyang even heard many fans shouting for himself.

"The atmosphere at the scene is really warm. In Dallas, people will never lack enthusiasm." At the same time, in the commentary booth, the commentary work of T.NT TV station also officially started.

"Today's game has a lot to watch, "Elvis" Gerald Wallace is very eager to prove himself in Dallas. The German will also express his desire for a championship in the first game! Of course, The Mavericks acquired Yiyang Tanhua at a huge price, and it is also a highly anticipated feature!" Kenny Smith, an experienced commentator, skillfully introduced the general situation of the two teams.

"Tanhuaxiu? Yiyang? Oh, I remember, you mean Jordan in the summer league, right?" Beside Kenny Smith, Charles Barkley, who was fat and fat, began to sarcasm the rookie again.

"Summer League Jordan? Hahahaha, who got the name." Even Kenny Smith was amused by Barkley.

"Everywhere on the internet, you've got to keep up with the times, Kenny. He was absolutely dominant in summer league, but he didn't live up to people's expectations in five preseason games. You know, The NBA preseason is completely different from the regular season. So, I don’t think that No. 3 player can perform at a better level today.” Charles Barkley is blunt, and it’s hard to say whether he hates it for the effect of the show or really. .

In short, everyone's appetite has been whetted by now. People really want to see what happened to the "Summer League Jordan" that Barkley called.

"This idiot." Marshal Stevens, who was watching TV at home, had already prepared beer and popcorn. After hearing Barkley's remarks, Stevens smiled disdainfully.

"Watch Charles, he'll show you how scary Jordan is in summer league!"

"Establish the advantage from the start! Dirk! Don't give Boris Dior that old and cunning guy a chance to foul! Sean! You show me Gerald Wallace, if he is restricted, then the Bobcats The team will have no threat! The opponent has nothing to fear, let them see our strength!" Rick Carlisle made the final deployment on the sidelines, and after that, the referee urged the players from both sides to gather in the middle circle to prepare for the kick-off.

Yiyang was sweating profusely and sat back on the bench. Today he will come on as Kidd's substitute. Just the atmosphere at the scene already made Yiyang a little impatient.

After the two sides jumped the ball, Yiyang did not expect that the already huge cheers on the scene could still soar!

"How does it feel in the NBA!?" Terry, who was also sitting on the bench, yelled at Yiyang loudly. Only by yelling could he ensure that Yiyang could hear him.

As soon as the game started, the Mavericks played smoothly. Dior, who is only 2.03 meters tall, has no way to limit Nowitzki on the defensive end.

Nowitzki gave the Mavericks the lead with two turnaround jump shots at the beginning of the game. Yiyang couldn't help but marvel, the performance of this German on the court was even better than on the training ground!

Later, "Elvis" Gerald Wallace also came up with a response. Although Sean Marion has rich experience, he is never young. Facing an impact forward like Wallace, Marion's lateral speed is obviously a bit overwhelming.

The two sides played back and forth, but the Mavericks always maintained the lead. Finally, five minutes into the first quarter, Rick Carlisle called a timeout because Diaw hit a 3-pointer.

Yiyang hurriedly got up from his seat and high-fived his teammates one by one. Although the Chinese boy is not very talkative, he is not unreasonable. He can still manage the most basic relationship with his teammates.

"Dirk! I told you not to get fouled by Dior, but I didn't tell you to just let him shoot!" It was obvious that Rick Carlisle was dissatisfied with Dior's recent scoring streak.

"I know the boss, that guy is too cunning, but I will not take it lightly!" The German did not play big cards in front of the coach, but accepted the criticism humbly.

"Sean, if Gerrard uses the pick-and-roll to attack, you don't hesitate to switch defenses with your teammates! You can't get around Wallace when you go around the pick-and-roll!" Afterwards, Rika Carlisle arranged something for Marion.

Finally, Carlisle's eyes fell on Kidd. But Kidd, who was almost 40 years old, began to breathe shortly after playing for five minutes.

As a result, Carlisle's gaze moved away from Kidd, and finally, it fell on the face of the third talent.

"Also! Ready to play!"

"Boom!" At this moment, Yiyang's mind suddenly went blank. But he took off his training suit and disposable training pants reflexively.

"Your goal is simple, send me the ball to Dirk and Sean, and let them score easily!" After Rick Carlisle finished speaking, the electronic buzzer also sounded. The timeout is over, Yiyang, it's time to play!

Yiyang stood on the sidelines and took a deep breath. Afterwards, he swaggered onto the highest stage that countless players dreamed of!

NBA, here I come!
