One Guard

Yiyang walked in front of his locker full of expectation, he took a deep breath and opened the locker. Inside, except for the Mavericks jerseys and NBA socks. On the bottom floor, there are three pairs of brand new Adidas basketball shoes.

Yiyang carefully took out one and held it in his hands. This is the same white and blue basketball shoe as the main colors of the Mavericks. It is the first pair of shoes that Yiyang obtained as the spokesperson of Adidas. Yiyang still remembers how strong his envy was when he saw people wearing these shoes on the field.

However, now he gets these not only without spending a penny, but Adidas has to pay him back. Yiyang suddenly felt that the change in his life was really unbelievable. Basketball, his favorite thing in life, completely changed the fate of this poor boy.

"Look, our rookie has also become a spokesperson." After Terry pushed open the door of the locker room, he complained "habitually".

"Your advertisements are everywhere in Dallas now. I thought you would choose Nike." Nowitzki also took the choke this time, after all, he himself is a spokesperson for Nike.

"Put down your sneakers first, buddy. I just heard outside that Conley is trying to make you look good!" After sitting down, Terry took out his mobile phone and shook it in front of Yiyang.

Yiyang took a closer look, and what was broadcast on the phone was the interview with the Grizzlies starting point guard Mike Conley just now.

On the screen, Conley, who just got off the team bus, was wearing a suit. Although he has only been in the league for a few years, this kid already looks like a star.

"Excuse me, how would you deal with the Mavericks' Tanhua Xiu Yiyang on the basketball court?" Kidd is too old, and comparing him with Conley does not satisfy the fans' appetite. Therefore, the reporters took advantage of the trend and pushed Yiyang to the forefront.

"Also? I thought my opponent would be Jason!" Conley's answer aroused the interest of the reporters. He obviously looked down on the No. 1 of the Mavericks!

"Of course, Jason Kidd will continue to be the starter for the Mavericks. But you're going to have to have a game against that, and people say he's going to be the best 1 in the new era. Yes. So, what do you think of the same young man?" The reporters knew that Conley was hooked, so they continued to prod him to speak.

"I've never heard someone comment on him like that. I only know that he has a nickname, Summer League Jordan! Hahaha, just wait, we will see the outcome on the court." Conley blinked at the camera, and then said I hurriedly followed my teammates into the American Airlines Center Arena.

"Like your new friend?" The video ended, and Terry also took his phone away.

"Take care of yourself, Jeter, O.J. Mayo may break your old bones." Yiyang did not respond to Terry directly, but confronted the big brother in the locker room with a cold tone up.

"Stop pretending, boy! If you don't like him, embarrass him on the basketball court! This is the NBA, no one can ride on your head and play wild! Play hard, I bet five hundred dollars, Mike That bastard Conley is going to suffer." Terry's grinning right hand clenched his fist and stretched out to Yiyang's side.

"Cut." Yiyang snorted coldly, but the corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he reached out to touch Terry's fist.

Although the way the two communicate may be special, Rick Carlisle is still very happy that Yiyang Neng and Terry are getting so close. Terry can be said to be a stepping stone, as long as Yiyang can have a good relationship with Terry, Carlisle doesn't have to worry that other people will not like Yiyang.

"Okay, okay, hurry up! Do you all remember the tactics deployed yesterday? The defense of the Grizzlies is their most powerful weapon. You must be patient when attacking, and patiently look for gaps! As long as people , you will definitely make mistakes!" Carlisle's loud voice,

Let the players officially enter the game state. A great threat from Memphis looms. Dallas Mavericks, but don't want to send the first defeat of the new season so early!

"23 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds. These are the data Mike Conley handed over in the opening game. By the way, it is worth mentioning that Conley's shooting percentage in this game is as high as 60%. In exchange for a mindless move."

"What do you want to say Charles? Everyone of us can see the data, so you don't need to describe it." Kenny Smith interrupted his partner.

"What I want to say is that whether it is for the old Kidd or the young Yi, they will encounter unprecedented trouble today! Let us see, the No. 1 position that Cuban is proud of , Will you be messed up by Conley today!" After Barkley finished speaking, the data comparison between Yiyang and Conley was displayed at the bottom of the screen.

Of course, Yiyang's statistics in the opening match cannot be compared with Conley's, but this did not dampen the fans' enthusiasm. Dallas fans really want to see how far Yiyang can play against a real strong opponent, while Grizzlies fans hope that their rising star can reveal the true nature of the recently hot prospect!

Playing the national anthem, warming up, final deployment...everything is going on step by step. When the game started, Yiyang was still placed on the bench by Rick Carlisle.

As far as Yiyang is concerned, Carlisle doesn't want to act too hastily. With Terry and Kidd around, he believed that Yiyang's progress would not be too slow. Kidd is 38 years old. He is still very capable, but he is no longer the omnipotent legend he was back then.

The Mavericks' future starting vacancy will be left to Yiyang sooner or later. Now Carlisle only hopes that everything can be carried out step by step.

Yiyang sat on the bench obediently, and he was not particularly resistant to this as he was used to sitting on the bench in high school.

On the court, the aged Kidd is not as relaxed as Yiyang. After the game started, Marc Gasol beat Chandler on the jump ball.

Conley attacked with the ball. Although the opponent was just a kid, Kidd had to take it seriously. I am degenerating, but this group of young people are constantly improving!

Although Conley is only a third-year player, he is already very experienced on the court. He casually raised his hand, and "Big Black Bear" Zach Randolph rushed out immediately!

"Pick and roll!" The experienced Kidd understood Conley's intentions at a glance. He was ready to bypass the pick and roll. It would not be so easy to defeat Kidd, an old guy.

However, before Randolph's pick-and-roll was in place, Conley suddenly started, holding the ball and walking to the side without the pick-and-roll!

Kidd's brain reacted quickly, but his legs and feet could no longer keep up with the speed of his brain. He tried his best to take a step laterally, but was still a second behind, and Mike Conley made a breakthrough!

Conley looked at it, and saw that his eyes were extremely open. So the hopeful star of the Grizzlies didn't hesitate, and he stopped and jumped to shoot! After all, in the last game, Conley's touch was scorching hot. Today, he has no reason not to make a move.

Kidd took off with all his strength, but was still a little short. Conley took the shot calmly, and the basketball went into the net!

"Good shot, it seems that Conley has continued his excellent state in the last game. If his performance is still so good, it will be quite difficult for the Mavericks."

After the ball, although Kidd assisted Nowitzki to single Randolph successfully. But soon, Conley repeated his old tricks, using his own speed to break through Kidd and successfully scored points again.

"Damn it!" Kidd couldn't help cursing as he watched Conley score points against him twice in a row. He wasn't scolding Conley, he was hating the damn time. If he could be three or four years younger, Conley's breakthrough would never be successful!

Time is always merciless, and it is true for everyone. Even though Kidd is one of the greatest point guards in NBA history, there is no preferential treatment to speak of.

The game lasted more than four minutes. Although Conley's frequent breakthroughs did not continue to score, they still hit the Mavericks' defense.

Such an anxious situation is not what Rick Carlisle wants to see. The longer the game drags on, the greater the physical consumption of the players, and the better the defense that the Grizzlies are good at!

Carlisle was walking back and forth on the sidelines, not sure if Yiyang could still perform well against the Grizzlies' impregnable defense, and whether he could find teammates in the gap like Kidd did. But at this moment, watching Conley make waves on the court, Carlisle seems to have no choice.

This typical academic coach walked in front of Yiyang, and immediately, all the fans burst into cheers.

"Hahaha, this kid is very popular, boss." Terry, who was sitting next to Yiyang, smiled, and even Carlisle loosened his frown after seeing this scene.

"Go to the technical desk to register, it's time to play!"

As soon as Carlisle finished speaking, Yiyang immediately took off his training clothes, tore off the disposable training pants, and trotted to the technical stage.

On the field, Dirk Nowitzki, who was playing post-up singles with the ball, was violated by Randolph, and the game entered a dead ball state. Kidd looked at the sidelines and walked slowly to Yiyang's side.

"Be patient, kid. Their defense is not indestructible." After saying this, Kidd patted Yiyang on the back, took the towel and walked to the bench. The arena is always left to the young people.

After listening to Kidd's instructions, Yiyang took two big strides to the court, and now the Mavericks serve the sideline. Before the ball was sent out, Conley with curly hair clung to Yiyang's side.

Yiyang looked at the court. Nowitzki was being watched by Randolph from beyond the three-point line, and Gasol was in front of Chandler to interfere with the serve. As for Barea and Marion, they also both serve as backup catch points outside the three-point line. In case Yiyang is blocked, the Mavericks can pass the ball through their hands for a while.

It seems that the Grizzlies stared at everyone very hard, even if Yiyang received the ball, he had no chance to pass it out.

Before Yiyang could figure out a strategy, Tyson Chandler threw the ball from the sideline, and the ball went straight to Yiyang!

Maybe it's because I want to prove myself too much, maybe I overestimate my own strength. In short, after beating Kidd without temper, Conley is now full of confidence. Instead of staying by Yiyang's side, he took a step forward, intending to intercept the pass midway!

Yiyang didn't give Conley a chance. He held up Conley with his left hand, then stretched out his long arms to hold the incoming ball firmly.

The moment Yiyang caught the ball, his arm supporting Kangli suddenly lost strength! Conley, who was moving forward with all his strength, did not control his center of gravity well, and took a sudden step forward. Just one step forward of the center of gravity is enough for Yiyang to grasp!

Yiyang turned around right next to Kangli, and with one step, he passed Kangli cleanly!

The Dallas No. 1 who had just played went straight to the basket, and Randolph and Gasol wanted to make up the defense. But how could the slow-moving "Double Bears" outrun Lightning?

With the Mavericks drawing all their defensive attention to the perimeter, Yiyang broke through easily and layup lightly. It seems that it didn't take much effort to score two points against the Grizzlies, which are known for their defense!

"Too fast..." Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins shook his head helplessly. He knew that this No. 3 show would be a threat!

After scoring the goal, Yiyang looked at Kangli coldly and pointed out two fingers.

It's 2-0, are you going to fight back?
