One Guard

When the referee blew the whistle to end the game, there was already mourning in the Sleeping Train arena. But the players of the Mavericks didn't seem very happy, because the process of winning this game was too thrilling. Moreover, their All-Star rookie was ejected.

Westphal, who lost the game, left without turning around. After all, he is also an old man, and he still understands basic courtesy.

But neither coach could say, "Your team is playing well" after a game full of gunpowder. So the two of them just nodded lightly at each other, touched their hands casually, and regarded it as a handshake.

Today, there are not as many reporters still on the field to interview players than in the past. In addition to the current serious shrinkage of the Kings market, there is another very important reason-the two most eye-catching guys today are not on the court at the moment.

? In the post-match press conference, when the media was waiting to see the two clashing players spar. The reporters discovered that neither Cousins ​​nor Yiyang was present.

Yiyang himself did not want to attend, while Cousins ​​was because Westphal did not dare to let him attend. That guy may be able to say anything after being provoked by the reporters.

"Basketball is a confrontational sport. It is normal for players to have physical contact. I believe that the referees of the league can control the situation of the game." Carlisle flattered the league, and naturally hoped that the league would not add more to Yiyang. punishment.

"The two young people are full of anger. Who hasn't been young? I don't blame them. This is just a proof of their dedication to the game. But on the basketball court, they still have to speak in a basketball way." As for Westphal , His last sentence was obviously for Cousins.

Although Cousins ​​is only ranked third in the rookie rankings, there is one statistic that neither Yiyang nor Griffin can match, and that is the number of technical fouls.

In his rookie season alone, the guy had the potential to break the 30 mark for technical fouls. Westphal can see that Cousins ​​is a good big man, but if he continues to lose control of his emotions, not only him, but the team will be seriously affected.

The press conference that the reporters had been looking forward to ended with this tepid ending. But they still refused to give up. Most of the reporters found Yiyang and Cousins ​​immediately after the press conference.

"He's just a piece of soft cake. If it weren't for the referee's protection, this guy would never have survived!" Sure enough, the reporters finally got what they wanted from Cousins.

It seems that Cousins ​​did not "smile away the grudge" with Yiyang. I believe that the next time the two meet,

It will definitely make the game more exciting.

On the other hand, Yiyang was not as aggressive as Cousins.

"We won the game, that's it, that's the only thing I care about." Yiyang answered sophistically, so that the reporters couldn't find any faults.

And the group of reporters who went back and forth between the two of them also felt that although they were both rookies, the mental maturity of Yiyang and Cousins ​​was completely inversely proportional to their body shape.

When Yiyang returned to the locker room to change after accepting the reporter's interview, Stevenson appeared next to Yiyang which was rare.

"Listen buddy, I will teach you a few tricks in the future. With these methods, no one will dare to bully you again!" Stevenson looked mysterious, like a drug dealer trading on the street.

"Come on Deshaun, I bet you can't beat him!" The old boy Terry started to "pull hatred" everywhere again.

"Of course I can't beat him, but I can try with you!" After finishing speaking, the two veterans who were full of snark quarreled wildly together.

Yiyang on the side shook his head, these two guys looked more like children than himself.

"Boom!" At this moment, Carlisle pushed open the door of the locker room and walked in, his brows were tightly furrowed, serious.

It stands to reason that Carlisle should be very happy that the Mavericks won today. Although the team will go to the Denver Plateau to play the Nuggets back-to-back tomorrow after a night of hard work, it will not make Carlisle so serious. After all, the Mavericks have played back-to-back games more than once or twice this season.

"Also!" Just as everyone was guessing what the academic coach was thinking, he yelled Yiyang's name.

Yiyang raised his head and looked at Carlisle.

"For tomorrow's game, you should take a truce first."

"Ah!?" Yiyang was a little surprised, there was no reason why there was a truce.

"Has the league added a suspension to the opponent?" Still, the experienced Kidd reacted quickly and immediately raised a possibility.

"No, it's not." Carlisle waved his hand, his brows still frowning. "I have already discussed with Cuban. Tomorrow, you have to go back to Dallas for a concussion test. After you are sure there is no problem, you will come back and continue playing the game."

"Concussion detection? No, I'm fine." Yiyang spread his hands, and from the beginning to the end, he felt that he was normal.

"I can assure you boss, this guy is fine. Just now, he was still able to play with DeShawn." Terry also chimed in.

"It's up to you whether there's anything wrong. Everyone saw it. Cousins' elbow hit Yi's forehead directly. And he couldn't stand up immediately after he fell to the ground, and he still staggered when he stood up. A few steps. Believe me guys, this matter is not trivial." Carlisle's serious expression made what he said so unquestionable.

With the increasing maturity of sports medicine, people began to realize that concussion is a very serious injury for athletes. At the same time, whether or not people think basketball is as intense as concussion-prone football, the impact of concussions on basketball players is equally undeniable. In the NBA, there are not a few players troubled by concussions. In order to protect their players, Carlisle and Cuban certainly didn't want Yiyang to take any risks.

Now the owners and general managers of many NBA teams have begun to apply to the league to establish a complete concussion detection system, but this system will not be officially introduced until next season at the earliest. But Cuban doesn't care about these, the players are his own, and he has to cherish them himself.

"How long will this inspection take?" Yiyang asked while changing clothes.

"Two or three hours, it won't take long. After the test is over, you can go home and rest."

"Can Denver do this kind of test?" Yiyang continued to ask.

"Of course, this kind of technology is everywhere..."

"Then I will go to Denver for a test. If there is no problem, I will go to the game after the test." Before Carlisle could finish speaking, Yiyang made his own decision.

"What!?" Carlisle wondered if he was too old-fashioned. During the exhaustion period before the start of the All-Star Game, some players would voluntarily give up paid vacations.

"I don't want to miss any games." Yiyang can only watch his teammates fight on the field in the locker room today, but he can't do anything. This feeling, which lasted only half the game, made Yiyang disgusted. At that time, he told himself silently in his heart that he never wanted to miss any games again. How did he know that just after he finished speaking, Carlisle and Cuban gave him this one.

"Silly boy..." Carlisle relaxed his brows and smiled softly. "Come on, let's go to Denver!"

"How did you feel yesterday?" In front of you, a doctor wearing gold-rimmed glasses was asking about Yiyang's condition.

Recalling the time when he was knocked down by Cousins ​​yesterday, Yiyang only felt that his eyes were staring at gold stars, and it was difficult for him to stabilize his body balance. But after a few seconds, Yiyang returned to normal, and until now he feels that there is no problem.

"Everything is normal." Yiyang replied simply.

After that, the doctor stretched out a finger and waved it back and forth in front of Yiyang's eyes, and asked Yiyang to follow his finger to move his gaze. Such a scene made Carlisle who was sitting next to Yiyang laugh.

This is just the simplest and most basic concussion test. This test cannot prove that Yiyang is completely fine, but at least it can be sure that he is indeed fine.

"Okay, next, let's do some kinematic concussion tests. Go to the locker room to change first, and you may sweat a little later." The doctor smiled at Yiyang, and Carlisle responded to Yiyang. Yang spread his hands.

"Do as he says."

At this medical center in Denver, athletes are tested for five concussions. The first is the computer test, which is the most intuitive test. Of course, it is not prudent enough to rely on the computer test alone. The other four are physical tests. It is necessary to observe the changes in the physical data of athletes during exercise.

Cycling for 30 minutes, running for 30 minutes, without stopping in between, and your heartbeat should be accelerated to more than 160 beats. After a short break and returning to the court, Yiyang will have 30 minutes of one-on-one training without stopping, and then 30 minutes of training with the team without stopping.

After hearing the test plan, Carlisle swallowed. The intensity of the entire test may not be much lower than playing a complete nba game.

"Are you sure you can still play the game after doing this?" Carlisle looked at the test plan, then at Yiyang.

"If you fail one item, you have to start all over again. I hope you can do it once." Yiyang responded very easily, even a little eager to try.

In this way, Carlisle accompanied Yiyang to start the test. As for today's game against the Nuggets, it's not as important as Yiyang's health.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, two and a half hours before the start of the game, Yi Yang appeared on the visiting team's training field in the Pepsi Center wearing electronic equipment.

"Wow, what is this? The Terminator?" Seeing that Yiyang was wearing a lot of equipment for testing, Terry inevitably went to him again.

Yiyang gave Terry a white look, but ignored him. Under the guidance of the doctor, Yiyang started one-on-one training.

Yiyang has passed all the previous physical tests. Now the doctor will observe whether there will be any problems with Yiyang's body during normal training.

Several trainers were holding thick mats across the basketball court. What Yiyang had to do was to complete breakthroughs and layups under the push and physical confrontation of the trainers.

At this time, everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at the half court for Yiyang's training. Yiyang holds the ball in the middle circle and starts to drive towards the basket.

Dribbled the ball and took two steps to find the feeling, Yiyang suddenly accelerated! The doctors who tested Yiyang were all shocked. He had treated many Nuggets players. But the speed can be as fast as him, I have never seen it.

The first trainer went up with the cushion, Yiyang took the impact with his shoulders, and rushed towards the next target. The second trainer picked up the pad and placed it across the gap between the free throw line and the three-point line. After Yiyang passed by, he turned around deftly and easily passed the "stake".

In the end, when Yiyang made a layup, there was another trainer under the basket holding a pad to block Yiyang. Yiyang leaned against the trainer and hit the layup effortlessly, completing a set of movements in one go.

The doctor hurriedly turned his head and saw Yiyang's current body data through the sensors on Yiyang's body. Breathing, state of mind, and consciousness are all normal.

After 30 minutes of training, the trainers were exhausted and out of breath. As for Yiyang, he just sweated a little.

Afterwards, Yiyang also joined the team training. Carlisle could clearly see that although Yiyang had undergone a series of physical tests before, his vitality on the court was still much better than others.

Originally, the Mavericks were exhausted playing the game yesterday, and today they have to experience a back-to-back away game. The exhaustion of the players is self-evident. But Yiyang, although he didn't say he wasn't affected at all, was much less affected than others.

The last two tests came to the end under Yiyang's insistence.

When the 30 minutes were up, the doctor smiled and walked up to Carlisle, shaking his hand.

"How is Yi's situation?" Carlisle couldn't understand the complicated data on the instrument. What the doctor said next would directly determine whether Yiyang could continue the game.

"He suffered a severe elbow from Cousins ​​yesterday, and he felt unwell at that time..." Hearing what the doctor said, Carlisle was ready to let Terry serve as the sixth man today.

"But he is a tough guy, and there is nothing wrong with him. If I hadn't seen the video of him being elbowed by Cousins ​​yesterday, I would have thought you were kidding me! He is very healthy and has no problems! You can even say, He is healthier than you and me!" The doctor smiled, that Chinese man, is it possible that he is made of stone?

"what do you mean......"

"He can play, of course that's your decision, I mean, his physical condition can definitely support him to complete the game. Your player has a body of steel!"

Carlisle showed his white teeth and shook hands with the doctor. Man of Steel? This is really good news.
