One Guard

phone-reading

Mudiay and his family excitedly lined up outside the American Airlines Center, where giant posters of all the Mavericks players hung on the walls. This young man from Congo also very much hopes that one day his own photo can be hung there.

Of course, this is the fantasy that every ordinary little boy would have. How many people who like basketball have never imagined that they will be able to play in the NBA one day?

But Mudiay is different from others. Since meeting Yiyang, Mudiay has really regarded entering the NBA as his goal, not just a fantasy. For this reason, he spends more and more time on basketball every day. This little boy seems to have found the hope of changing his destiny.

Following the long queue to enter the arena, the Mudiay family finally reached the entrance of the gymnasium. Mudiay and his two older brothers both like basketball very much, but when they stepped into the American Airlines Center Arena, the basketball world presented here was something the three boys had never seen before.

There are authentic jerseys of Mavericks players hanging in the NBA store, and in a jewelry store, the boss is proudly showing people a high imitation championship ring. The Mavericks mascot is interacting with people for photos, and the Adidas store is full of Mavericks colorways...  

Just when the three boys were dazzled, a staff member wearing a Mavericks blue T-shirt patted Mudiay on the shoulder.

"Guys, put on a Mavericks T-shirt and cheer on your team! Don't worry, it's given out to fans for free by the team!"

The Mudiays, wearing Mavericks-issued T-shirts, followed the crowd into the arena.

Immediately, the noisy sounds from the stands filled Mudiay's ears. The huge spotlight illuminated the entire court as bright as a mirror. On the court, several players had already started shooting to warm up. Close-ups of the players' faces are shown on the big screen at the scene.

Seeing this scene that had only appeared on TV, Mudiay felt his whole blood boil. In this enthusiastic atmosphere, Mudiay instantly entered a state of extreme excitement. NBA, here I come!

"Don't take it lightly, don't make mistakes! The Nets have lost five straight recently, there is no reason for them to take away the victory in Dallas! I not only want you to win, but also to win beautifully! If you want to play against a team like the Nets If you are anxious, then it is even more impossible for you to have a share in the championship!" Rick Carlisle mobilized in the locker room. Compared with playing against a strong team, when playing against a weak team, the head coaches may be more serious .

It doesn't matter if you lose to a strong team, but if you lose to a team from the bottom of the league, no one can afford to lose this person. Therefore, it is often difficult for a big team to win. In addition to their own lack of strength, there is another reason that no one wants to lose to them, and each of their opponents will prepare very seriously. This undoubtedly made it more difficult for the big teams to win.

So far this season, the Nets have only a poor record of 6 wins and 16 losses. It is completely understandable to say that it is a big team. When Chinese player Yi Jianlian was still playing for the Nets last season, the impression that the Nets were a "bad team" was deeply ingrained in the hearts of Chinese fans.

Even though the Nets now have All-Star forward Butler, who was traded from the Mavericks, the Nets' record has not improved significantly.

Butler is indeed an All-Star, he may be a good piece of puzzle in a championship team, but the general manager of the Nets, Billy King, uses him as a giant, which is definitely inappropriate .

Judging from the current situation, Billy King should regret it very much. If I had known it now, it would be better if I chose Yiyang to use myself. The draft is like a gamble, and Billy King obviously lost his bet this time. But now, he had to bear the consequences of losing the bet.

At 7:30 p.m. on December 9, the Nets' away game against the Mavericks officially started under the referee's whistle. before the game starts,

Caron Butler had a very happy chat with his former teammates. Although he had only been with the Mavericks for less than a season, Butler still misses the team very much.

Will this all-star small forward blame Yiyang? of course not. This is not the first time Butler has experienced a transfer in his career. For him, this is just part of the business.

After the start of the game, he sprained his foot with the ball in the last game, and the "boxing champion" Tyson, who was able to come back in this game, easily won the ball from Lopez's head. Although Big Lopez is tall and has long arms, but helplessly, this guy really can't jump up very much.

On the first attack, Kidd assisted Marion with a breakthrough goal to score a goal in front of Caron Butler, his former teammate.

And this easy goal also became the keynote of the whole game.

After five minutes in the first quarter, the Nets called a timeout. At this time, the difference between the two sides was as much as seven points.

Mudiay's eyes were fixed on the Mavericks' bench, waiting for that person to play.

Sure enough, after the timeout ended, Yiyang took off his training clothes and stepped onto the court. At this time, countless fans of the Mavericks held up the signs and Yiyang's big cardboard head, cheering for this outstanding performance!

After Yiyang came on the field, he did not disappoint those who supported him. As soon as this guy stepped onto the field, he stole Devin Harris, made a long-distance attack, and completed a tomahawk-style dunk that ignited the entire Dallas.

Although Yiyang's dunk was not as exaggerated as Westbrook's, it was exciting enough. At that moment, Mudiay couldn't help but raised his arms and stood up. Watching the game on the spot is really different from watching the game in front of the TV!

As soon as he came up, Yiyang gave Harris enough "face". This No. 1 guard is different from Harris' former Chinese teammate Yi Jianlian. He played more bloody, but also more courageous!

Harris, who was once abandoned by the Mavericks, is also excited and is about to have a good fight with Yiyang. However, contrary to expectations, the war was over before it even started.

In the ninth minute of the first quarter, Nets guard Devin Harris suddenly fell to the ground during a breakthrough, clutching his ankle in pain, and couldn't even stand up.

It can be seen from the playback on the big screen at the scene that Harris slipped on the sole of his foot during the breakthrough, and his ankle bent at a terrible angle. The injury this time was purely accidental, and had nothing to do with Yiyang who was defending him.

Originally, the Nets were playing very hard, but now that Devon Harris is still injured and has left the field, the suspense of this game is suddenly less than half.

Sure enough, without an important offensive organization point, the Nets became more and more chaotic. After the offense was messed up, the defense also began to collapse.

Although Lopez and Caron Butler finally teamed up to score 45 points, the scattered Nets still lost by a huge 89-102 point difference.

Carlisle couldn't help laughing when he shook hands with the general manager of the Nets after the game. Although it was a bit impolite, Carlisle's happy mood made him unable to stop smiling. His players did it, not just winning, but winning beautifully.

Yiyang scored 18 points, 11 assists and 3 steals in this game without opponents, scoring a double-double again after seven days. Sitting in the stands and witnessing all these wonderful performances, Mudiay made up his mind to regard Yiyang as his goal.

11 consecutive victories, with a total record of 19 wins and 3 losses. People are guessing how long the Mavericks' winning streak will last!

After the game, Mudiay took off the Mavericks' blue T-shirt and approached Yiyang to sign it. Yiyang naturally did not refuse Mudiay's request, he not only wrote down his name, but also added a sentence on it.

"Chase your dreams bravely, Moody."

※※※

Mudiay is starting to chase his dream, and Yiyang and the Mavericks must continue to move forward for the dream of the championship.

Two days after winning 11 consecutive victories at home against the league's bottom Nets, Yiyang once again met Hayward and the difficult Deron Williams.

This time, Hayward played 20 minutes, but his scoring data has always been "0". This time, Carlisle specifically studied Hayward's style of play and made special arrangements for him. Marion performed all of this very well, so under Sloan's scolding, Hayward was replaced again and again. After being replaced again in the third quarter, Hayward, who hadn't scored a point in the whole game, didn't get another chance to play.

In addition to Hayward, Yiyang also had a very hard time in this game. Deron Williams is determined to avenge his shame, and his condition today is really good enough.

Throughout the game, Deron scored 34 points on Yiyang. This is also the time Yiyang has scored the highest points against himself since he joined the NBA.

Facts have proved that there is still a gap between Yiyang, a rookie, and a real top guard in the league. But fortunately, such a gap may disappear within a few years.

Although Deron scored 34 points, the Mavericks defeated the Jazz for the second time 103 to 97, continuing the winning streak at home.

Nowitzki's 31 points and Terry's 22 points allowed Deron to score high and lose to Texas.

Although Yiyang was completely suppressed by Delong today, his score of 15 points and 6 assists is not terrible. Although 15 points is Yiyang's lowest score since December, people will not worry about the state of this rookie at all. They know that the strong No. 1 guard will soon recover.

12 consecutive victories, 20 wins and 3 losses. The results of the Mavericks surprised all the teams and critics in the league.

In the beginning, everyone wanted to play against the Mavericks, because from fans to opponents, no one thought the Mavericks were a real strong team.

But right now, everyone wants to avoid the Mavericks. It would definitely be bad luck to meet them.

Although the Mavericks won all the way, Yiyang, who was beaten by Deron in this game, became the only black spot of the Mavericks in the eyes of many critics.

Isn't it just creating topics? The news of the Mavericks' victory is no longer enough to be topic and news. So this time, the media and experts will bring something different to the fans...
