One Guard

Chapter 411: Stabhead

Yiyang's hard work during the All-Star Weekend finally got him some rewards. Don’t think that 2.6 million US dollars seems worthless compared to those sky-high endorsement fees, but you have to know that Yiyang received the 2.6 million US dollars for taking a few photos and at most a few short videos.

Yiyang's current salary for playing in the Mavericks is "only" 4.13 million US dollars. Taking a few photos, Yiyang can easily earn the salary equivalent to playing for more than half a year. It can be said that the cooperation that Duffy discussed on behalf of Yiyang is a deal that only makes money but not loses.

And what makes Yiyang feel refreshed the most is that Griffin, who was always targeting him, was snatched by him of the fat contract that he was about to get. All debts must be repaid, this is Yiyang's code of conduct. And sometimes, this "taste" does not necessarily have to happen on the basketball court.

Receiving such good news early in the morning, Yiyang's exhausted mind was greatly encouraged. The 2012 NBA slam dunk king sat up from the bed at once, looking at the sunshine of the new day outside the window, feeling that he was also full of vigor.

The day after the All-Star Game, all teams in the league will have a one-day truce. Starting tomorrow, the battle of the NBA regular season will enter the most intense sprint stage.

Yiyang roughly looked at the schedule for the next month or so. It can be said that they will almost spend the rest of the season in back-to-back games. As far as he is concerned, consecutive back-to-backs can barely persist. What Yiyang is worried about is whether the group of old guys around him can withstand the impact of consecutive back-to-back schedules.

After eating the simple and healthy breakfast made by Wenxue, and carrying a big Adidas basketball bag on his back, Yiyang went out, preparing to adjust his state after the All-Star Game.

In the past, Yiyang was always the first to come to the locker room. When he came every day, the door of the locker room was closed tightly, and after Yiyang went in, he would tidy up the bench like Cardinal did.

But today, when Yiyang walked to the door of the locker room, he found that the door of the locker room was ajar. Looking in through the crack of the door, the lights in the locker room were not turned on.

"It's rare that someone forgot to close the door when he left yesterday?" Yiyang scratched his head, this was the only possibility he could think of. Thief? No, there is no possibility of thieves here. First of all, there is nothing particularly valuable in the locker room. The players' jerseys and sneakers will not be prepared until the day of the game. Secondly, the security measures in the player tunnel are very tight, and ordinary thieves have no chance to patronize here.

With curiosity, Yiyang quietly pushed open the locker room door. As soon as I walked in, I was greeted by the smell of alcohol. Yiyang subconsciously covered his mouth and nose, then turned on the light in the dressing room in the dark.

When the bright light completely drives out the darkness, everything becomes clear. I saw that guy Delonte West fell asleep leaning against his cabinet with a wine bottle in his hand, and in front of him was a pool of horrific vomit.

"Oh my god, damn it!" Seeing this disgusting scene, Yi Yang felt a little sick to his stomach. He rushed out of the locker room and called for a few cleaners to clean up.

"George! George!" Afterwards, Yiyang rushed to the security center of the stadium with his bag on his back. There, he found George Plath, the chief security officer of the American Airlines Center Arena.

"What's the fuss? Did some fans rush in and ask for your autograph?" When Yiyang found George, the black security chief was joking with Yiyang with a cup of coffee. The American Airlines Center Arena has not had any major safety accidents for so many years, and the peaceful days have made this guy relax his vigilance.

"God, don't you know? Last night, a player stayed in the locker room! According to the regulations, shouldn't you make sure that there is no one in the locker room?"

"hat!?" Hearing what Yiyang said, George was taken aback. When he was patrolling the player tunnel last night, he did see that the lights in the locker room were completely turned off.

If anyone is inside, he has to turn on the light. If you don't turn on the lights, the surrounding area is completely dark.

"You and I go to see George, and take a look at what our locker room has become by the way."

The two hurried through the player's tunnel with seven bends and eight turns, and quickly came to the door of the locker room.

"Damn it, what does it smell like!?" As soon as he reached the door of the locker room, the smell of alcohol mixed with vomit stimulated George's sense of smell.

George fought to forget the disgusting smells, then looked into the locker room. Although several cleaners have already started cleaning in the locker room, Delonte West is still slumped in front of the locker like a piece of rotten meat.

"Yesterday...Yesterday I really didn't know this guy was in there! Damn it! Did he just spend the whole night in the dark!?" Looking at George's surprised expression, Yiyang could only helplessly shook his head.

When Delonte West first joined the team, the old players often told Yiyang that that guy was a mentally unstable psychopath.

At that time, Yiyang didn't take this sentence seriously. After most of the season, West's performance was normal. Although West is always a maverick, at least he never caused any trouble to the locker room. But now, Yiyang knows it. What the old team members said to him before was not a joke at all!

West's hangover made it almost an hour late for the players to finally use the locker room. And this undoubtedly greatly affected Carlisle's training plan.

When West woke up, his eyes were still hazy. He was directly called to the office by Cuban, and he came out of there after nearly an hour.

That day, West did not practice, but went straight to the locker room to get dressed and went home. It is reported that Cuban and Carlisle gave him a day off. This time, the Mavericks dealt with West relatively gently. Apart from fines, there is almost no punishment.

But this incident also indirectly led to a significant decline in the quality of the team's training that day. Carlisle was very dissatisfied with the players' training that day, which also made him yell directly on the training ground.

The bad mood of the players has become worse, and tomorrow, they are about to take this not-so-good state to face the attacking New Jersey Nets.

※※※

"Brook Lopez may be the center with the richest scoring methods in the league. Brandon Haywood has nothing to do with the star of the Nets!"

As soon as the commentator finished speaking, Lopez hit the board with a hook and scored again. Haywood vented his anger by hammering the cushion on the basketball hoop, which was already his 28th point for Lopez!

After this goal, the Nets once again overtook the score. In this game, the two sides took the lead alternately 18 times, and the process was quite tragic. But before the game, even Nets coach Avery Johnson said the Nets wanted to beat the Mavs on the road unless God helped them.

Could it be that God really appeared?

No, God the old man is not possessing Lopez today. The reason why this game, which had no suspense at first, was so tense was entirely because everyone on the Mavericks team, except Yiyang, performed really badly!

The Mavericks re-attacked, and facing the panting Deron, Yiyang easily made a breakthrough through the pick-and-roll. After Deron came to the Nets, he seemed to have completely changed himself, and he could no longer play the court control ability he had during the Jazz period.

If the Nets hadn't traded with the Mavericks back then, it might be Yiyang who is partnering with Lopez now.

After Yiyang broke through, Nets power forward Humphries and Deron both chased after Yiyang, while Nowitzki was completely let go.

Humphries didn't defend Yiyang because he was jealous of Kardashian's favor, but Nowitzki felt very cold today. He would rather leave Dirk behind than defend Yiyang!

Yiyang forced a layup under the attack of the two. Of course, he was directly knocked down by Humphries in the air, and the basketball naturally failed to hit.

Although he got two free throw opportunities, Carlisle was not happy at all. Today, Yiyang is fighting ball by ball with his own body. He fell down again and again, and stood up again and again, which ensured that the score could remain anxious.

If it was normal, Yiyang would definitely give the ball to Dirk. But today, Yiyang knows that if he wants to score, he has a better chance of breaking through.

"Nobody on the Mavericks shot better than 40 percent today, except for that guy. Dirk Nowitzki is the best of the rest of the field, but he's only shooting 36.8 percent. I don't know what happened to the Mavericks , Their state has plummeted. Perhaps, they have not recovered from the cheerful atmosphere of the All-Star Game?"

The commentators didn't know that West, who was sitting on the bench with sleepy eyes, was one of the reasons for the poor state of the Mavericks.

Yiyang fought so hard that his whole body was bruised and scored two points. On the defensive end, Lopez easily overtook him.

Haywood was about to be psychologically shadowed by Lopez. This time, Lopez used an unconventional action to suddenly throw in the three-second zone. Although this throwing action is a bit ugly and looks like an amateur action, it cannot hide the fact that Lopez has a soft touch. The basketball passed through the net, and the two sides took the lead alternately for the 20th time!

At the end of the game, Yiyang no longer had the energy to go inside. Originally, he didn't get any rest during the All-Star weekend, but today he was the hardest one. Carlisle, who was off the court, was worried because he was afraid that Yiyang would be injured due to exhaustion. But he also knew that if Yiyang was taken down, the game would be over!

At the last moment, Yiyang cut off Lopez's layup, ran all the way to the basket with all his strength and made a layup, allowing the Mavericks to catch up to 1 point.

But then, Lopez fired at the middle distance, and the point difference was opened again.

In the final attack of the Mavericks, Yiyang was double-teamed. There was no way, he had to hand the ball to Nowitzki, who responded outside the three-point line.

But Nowitzki's cold touch is still there, and his three-point shot knocked out of the frame. Meanwhile, the red light on the backboard comes on and the game is over...

After the game, Yiyang slumped onto the wooden floor. He was so tired, this might be one of the most tiring games he's ever played in the NBA. Others couldn't stand up, so Yiyang had to take the lead alone. But it is a pity that Yiyang cannot save the team from fire and water every time.

"Brandon Haywood actually allowed Lopez to score 38 points! 38 points! If Tyson is still here, the victory of the game may belong to the Dallas Mavericks!"

"I don't know what Dek is doing. Maybe he thinks he can retreat into the background? If he behaves a bit more normal today, the Nets will not get a chance! Hey, I hope the Mavericks can get back to back in tomorrow's back-to-back battle." Let's go to the city."

"Yi also scored 28 points, 8 assists, 4 steals and 2 blocks today, but there is no way, basketball is a team sport. Yi's performance alone still cannot cover up the downturn of the entire team."

The commentators were in a bad mood. Counting the loss against the Lakers before the All-Star Game, the Mavericks had already lost two consecutive games. I hope that the "post-All-Star syndrome" will not drag down the advantages that the Mavericks have built up for most of the season.

Although this night was very unpleasant, the Mavericks players did not have the slightest time to adjust. As soon as the game was over, the crowd boarded a flight to Memphis. Facing Lopez today, tomorrow, there is a little Gasol waiting for them.

On the plane, everyone was in a low mood. Carlisle could clearly feel that there was something wrong with the atmosphere of the team. This season, the team's life is really uneven.

Odom has been completely marginalized by the team, and his influence on the team has gradually decreased. But who would have thought that another Delonte West would appear now.

On the second day at the FedEx Arena, the progress of the game was also very unsmooth.

The back-to-back games made the Mavericks' veterans a little overwhelmed. The most heart-wrenching thing was that Kidd sprained his ankle again in a breakthrough in the second quarter and was forced to end.

Kidd is injured, which means that Carlisle can only use Delonte. West to replace the vacant position after Yiyang's departure.

In an attack in the fourth quarter, Terry prepared to pass the ball to Yi Jianlian who was open, allowing Yi Jianlian to shoot a jumper from the mid-range position.

However, this guy Delonte West suddenly rushed to the passing lane, "stealed" Terry's pass, and killed himself in the three-second zone.

This time, Gasol Jr. got a blocked data for nothing. Terry gritted his teeth angrily, this guy West is a complete cancer on the court!

After that, West's performance was still a mess. There is no way, now that Kidd is not here, Carlisle has to let Yiyang overload the game and continue the game.

Even so, the Mavericks still couldn't carry it through. Yiyang's performance of 25 points, 9 assists, 5 rebounds and 2 steals could not stop the losing streak.

The Mavericks' aging lineup and the inability to withstand the intensive schedule is one of the reasons for the loss, but the conflict between the players is a more terrifying fuse...

I thought everything would be smooth after the All-Star Game. But for now, I am afraid that things are backfired.
