One Guard

Genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! On the first day in Milan, Yiyang fully felt the great charm of this city. That night, he and Vignelli returned to the hotel after playing in this fashion capital until late, and they still had more to say.

So the two young men vented their excess energy on each other. The tumultuous night in Italy made the two finally fall asleep honestly.

Every day after that, Yiyang felt that it passed quickly. Sforzesco Castle, Via Manzoni, Santa Maria Monastery, the Arch of Peace...every famous scenic spot in Milan left a deep impression on Yiyang.

When Yiyang visited the San Siro Stadium, AC Milan officials also invited Yiyang to their internal showroom. And specially printed an AC Milan red and black sword-striped jersey with No. 1 and his name on it for Yiyang. Yiyang held up his own AC Milan jersey, and the two sides took pictures together. After uploading to social media, it attracted the attention of a large number of fans, forming a win-win situation.

Yiyang did not expect that he would be treated like this in Milan. In fact, the reputation of this guy has far exceeded his imagination. After all, he was also the No. 2 man on the Mavericks' championship team.

It's a pity that it's the offseason of Serie A, so Yiyang couldn't feel the charm of Italian football on the spot. But to receive the warm hospitality of AC Milan, Yiyang is already satisfied.

In the next few days, Yiyang and Vignali moved to another city. Florence, Turin, Rome, Venice... They have traveled all over Italy, and Yiyang has changed from knowing nothing about Vignelli's hometown to now loving it.

Although on July 1st, the labor negotiations between the players union and the league officially announced a breakdown, the suspension of next season is a foregone conclusion, and the players are facing a situation where they have nothing to ask for. But even so, it still cannot stop Yiyang's enthusiasm for traveling in Italy. Playing with Vignali until July 15th, Yiyang finally said goodbye to this girl, and boarded the flight back to Dallas.

Although they are very reluctant to part with each other, Ke Yiyang must also take some time to spend with his mother. Besides, the two young people who are already very close will definitely meet again soon.

Saying goodbye to Italy, which is full of heritage, Yiyang's body and mind have also been greatly relaxed. After half a month of adjustments, he will plunge headlong into the holiday training. For Yiyang, that is the most important thing for him this holiday.

"Why are there so many presents?" When Wen Xue opened the door to welcome her son back home, she thought she saw a Santa Claus from China. Yiyang, who was standing at the door of the house, was holding a large number of gifts, big and small, like a Christmas tree full of gift boxes.

"I brought some things to many people, Mom, and you too!" Yiyang smiled and put the gifts by the door, Wen Xue, Mudiay, Carlisle, Nowitzki, Terry, Stevens, Hayward...Yiyang brought souvenirs bought from Milan to almost all his friends. This kid usually looks cold. But in his heart, he remembered all the people who treated him well.

When he was in the Wood District, what Yiyang saw was almost the darkest side of the world. But after joining the NBA, a so-called "cold" league, Yiyang discovered the warmth in human nature.

That night, Yiyang visited the Mudiay family with a gift. Compared to the last time we met, Mudiay was much taller and, of course, stronger.

As usual, before dinner, Yiyang and Mudiay singled out a few balls on the backyard basketball court. Although Yiyang won very easily, he is also very clear that Mudiay's strength is far better than himself at the same age.

"Do you want to go to college in the future, or go straight to professional basketball?" After dinner, Yiyang and Mudiay chatted seriously. Of course Yiyang knew that Mudiay's family needed money very much.

But he also knows how important a college basketball experience is to a player aspiring to make it to the NBA.

High school geniuses such as Garnett, Kobe, and Howard are just exceptions. Most people still have to go through college basketball to truly stimulate their full potential.

Facing Yiyang's inquiry, Mudiay hesitated. Of course he wanted to go to college, but his family conditions and his grades in school made it difficult for him to do so.

Yiyang didn't continue to ask, but patted Mudiay on the shoulder. This guy is still too young, when he really needs to make decisions and choices, it's not too late to give him advice.

In the next half month, Yiyang took his mother Wenxue to play in the surrounding cities. At the end of July, when Yiyang returned to Dallas, Bill Duffy already had news of a personal trainer.

"Los Angeles, buddy, we're going to Los Angeles!" Duffy's tone on the phone was very excited, as if he was going to attend the training camp and not Yiyang.

"Los Angeles? Is the trainer in Los Angeles?"

"Which star doesn't love Los Angeles in the summer? There are not only training camps, but also a variety of commercial activities. I have arranged everything for you. You just need to pack your bags and fly to Los Angeles. That "City of Angels", leave the rest to me!" Duffy patted his chest, he believed that his arrangement would definitely satisfy Yiyang.

"Training camp? A training camp with only me?"

"No, man. To improve yourself during the holidays, in addition to a good trainer, you also need a group of strong opponents! Believe me, whether it is trainers or opponents, they will not let you down!" Said , Duffy laughed badly. Being able to train with those guys for a holiday, Yiyang's strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds!

In the midsummer of Los Angeles, the embellishment of bright stars is always indispensable!

In the eyes of many, "Magic" Johnson entered the league in 1979 as the standard for the beginning of the modern NBA. The league has shaken off its once financial and off-field woes to become the multibillion-dollar running machine it is today. The "Magician" himself also made Los Angeles the center of NBA offseason activities.

Johnson invites his Lakers teammates and NBA buddies to Los Angeles every summer to train and play together to stay in shape during the holidays. Back in the early '80s, players still had the notion that training camp was for getting back in shape. "The Magician" wanted to stay in shape, and everyone listened to him. Many players in the league will come here to play, everyone will be inspired by the magician every summer, this is their own summer training camp. And this is also the beginning of a large number of summer training camps in Los Angeles.

Until now, many stars and managers will join forces and gather in Los Angeles for training camps and games. Bill Duffy has a lot of powerful superstars, and the cooperation with others allowed them to hold a large-scale training camp in Los Angeles this year.

Just as Yiyang walked out of Los Angeles International Airport, he saw Duffy waiting for him in the lobby. It seems that the lockout didn't make this guy overwhelmed. After all, the players under him seem to have nothing to worry about. Take the youngest Yiyang and Jennings as an example. As long as they want to, many CBA and even European teams will extend an olive branch to Duffy.

"Hi, Mr. Duffy, I didn't expect you to pick me up in person."

"Don't be so surprised, boy, the surprising thing is yet to come!" Duffy took the luggage from Yiyang's hand and put it in the trunk of the special car.

Greed, cunning, scheming, unscrupulous methods... These are not the magic weapons for Duffy's survival. The almost zero distance between him and the players is the key to Duffy's success. Although picking up the luggage is only a small action, but subtly, he has already narrowed the distance between himself and Yiyang.

"Is there anything more surprising?" Yi Yang really couldn't think of how an ordinary personal trainer could surprise Yi Yang. Could it be that Duffy invited Jordan to guide him? If this is the case, then Yiyang's jaw would indeed drop from shock. But the fact is that extremely talented players like Jordan are not good coaches or trainers. Because their understanding of basketball may not apply to other people.

"This is the kid from Los Angeles. There will never be a shortage of superstars here!" With a mysterious smile, Duffy drove Yiyang towards the training ground.

Who has the most stars on the All-Star Weekend? Don't worry, this summer's training camp may be even more exciting than the All-Star Weekend!
