One Guard

Chapter 438: Transformation Plan

Genius remembers the address of this site in a second: (Apex Chinese), the fastest update! No advertisements! The time has just come to June, and no one will choose to start their own holiday training before the season is over. But to Brickley's surprise, Yiyang, who became popular in the playoffs, became the first NBA star to do so.

The NBA season is still going on, and the youthful and invincible Thunder defeated the veteran Spurs and reached the finals like history. The Heat's Big Three led by James also defeated the Celtics, the old Big Three, as expected, and appeared on the stage of the finals for the second consecutive year.

When Durant and James were still fighting, Yiyang had already begun to sweat in Los Angeles. Of course, Yiyang is still not Brickley's only customer this year.

"Aren't you going to go fishing by the White Rock Lake? Or, go on a trip with your girlfriend?" When Brickley met Yiyang for the first time in Los Angeles this year, he asked Yiyang two questions. Because Yiyang came too early, only half a month after the end of the season, Yiyang started training, which seemed to Brickley an extremely crazy thing.

However, Yiyang just shook his head, even serious. "I'm not interested in fishing Chris, as for girlfriends. Did you forget that I said I would bring someone to train with me this year?" Just as Yiyang finished speaking, the tall Vignari pushed herself The luggage walked to Yiyang's side.

Brickley, a young and promising trainer, was completely stunned. He had seen many NBA stars, but it was the first time that Brickley provided the service of "couple package".

"Vignali also wants to receive some high-level training, so I brought her along." Yiyang said, putting his arms around Vignali's shoulders.

Brickley shook his head and smiled, though it was a very special way to spend the holidays. But looking at the sincere smiles of a man and a woman in front of him through the sunset, Brickley is sure that this special way of vacation should be very happy for them...

Yiyang wasn't the only one struggling after the Mavericks were eliminated. At this time, Cuban, Nelson Jr., and Carlisle were already sitting in the office and began to plan for this summer's team construction.

Influenced by the Heat and the Celtics, all teams in the league now hope that they can form a "Big Three" lineup. Facts have proved that patching together superstars is indeed the fastest way to win the championship. Cuban is naturally also deeply influenced by it. In fact, this boss who is willing to spend money has always been committed to building a luxurious star lineup.

"After Jason retired, our team now only has two not-for-sale items, Dirk and Yi. This summer, our goal is to build a team around them." Cuban turned on the projector and entrusted himself to the scouts to work hard. The produced PPT is placed on it. It can be seen that Cuban is quite hardworking for this summer. He has thoroughly researched this summer's free agency market and put red circles on several players' heads. There is no doubt that the marked guys are Cuban's key signings this summer.

"You mean, Jeter..." Carlisle only heard that Yiyang and Dirk were not for sale, but he didn't hear Terry's name.

"I know I know that Jeter has played for the Mavericks for eight full years, and he is also one of the most popular stars of the Mavericks. But you also said that our team is aging. And Jeter is also part of the aging. I am very grateful for his contribution to the Mavericks, and I will even consider retiring his jersey in Dallas in the future. But for now, it is not good for us to renew the contract with Jeter!" Cuban put himself this time I told the head coach Carlisle all my thoughts. "15 million in 3 years, to be honest, I don't think Jeter is worth the price now. How old will he be in 3 years? 38 years old! By that time, I will have to pay more than 5 million US dollars for a 38-year-old veteran At that time, no one can guarantee what Jeter can do.

It's not that I don't want money, but his existence is likely to hinder the development of the team. "

"No no, Mark, maybe you haven't figured out the situation. In the season just passed, Jeter was our third scoring point! After Yi and Dirk, Jeter contributed the most to the team on the offensive end You tell me now that you don’t plan to renew the contract with the team’s third scoring point, so what about a substitute?” Carlisle knew that Cuban was not the kind of unreasonable boss, so he dared to speak out his dissent .

"Let me ask you a question first, Rick. Also, is he a combo guard?" Cuban didn't answer Carlisle, but asked instead.

"There is no doubt that he is an excellent combo guard. Everyone saw the effect when he and Kidd played a dual point guard lineup last season." Carlisle didn't know what Cuban wanted to express, so he could only follow his train of thought. Walk.

"So, what if I told you that we might have him and Yiyang in the backcourt this summer? Do you still think it's not worth letting Jeter go?" Cuban pressed the computer keyboard, and the projector displayed A photo of Carlisle's eyes widened.

It has been more than half a month since I came to Brickley's training camp, and Yiyang feels that his shooting stability from beyond the three-point line has made great progress. And what about Vignelli? Accompanying Yiyang to practice three-pointers, she is more often "anthropomorphic", so her progress is very limited.

During this period, Brickley naturally ate a lot of "dog food". When Yiyang was tired, Vignali, who was wearing a basketball uniform, would always hand over towels and water in time. When they are bored, they can also fight bulls on the basketball court. Of course, this kind of bullfighting is carried out under the laughter of the two. Even once, Brickley accidentally saw Vignali stepping on a basketball and kissing Yiyang passionately.

Since then, Brickley has vowed that he will never take this kind of "couple package" job until he also finds a girlfriend.

Of course, seeing the daily life of Yiyang and Vignari, Brickley was more envious. How many men who like basketball dream of a girlfriend like Vignali?

She is wearing a ponytail, wearing a large jersey, wearing sneakers, standing on the sidelines holding mineral water, silently playing basketball with you. On the court during the day, she can be a basketball titan, and at 1.83 meters, he is proficient in all sudden jump shots.

And when she walks out of the court, she will transform into a hot girlfriend who makes "little brothers hold their heads high".

While eating "dog food", Brickley secretly felt lucky for Yiyang in his heart. With such a girlfriend by his side, his training quality has always been good, and after a summer, he will definitely improve a lot. Of course, the disadvantage is that Yiyang may have to put in extra energy at night. No, wait? Is this a disadvantage?

After today's training, Yiyang and Vignali, as always, prepared to go to downtown Los Angeles. This city carries many fond memories of the two, and Santa Monica Beach is a must-see for them every night.

However, the originally peaceful training life was broken by a phone call from Yiyang. At first, Yiyang thought it was the Basketball Association urging him to return to the team. However, when Yiyang picked up the phone, he was stunned for a moment.

"Why didn't you answer the phone?" Seeing that Yiyang was staring at the phone in a daze, Vignali hugged Yiyang from behind and poked her head forward.

Yiyang didn't answer, but silently pressed the answer button, and then slowly put the phone to his ear. "Jet, buddy, what's up?"

"Hey, also..." On the other end of the phone, Terry's voice was a little less passionate than usual. "I think the Mavericks probably won't re-sign me."

"Ah?" Yiyang was stunned, the Mavericks won't renew Terry's contract? What are you kidding? Terry was the team's third scorer last season! "It's not April Fool's day, man, don't make such jokes."

"Today, I'm not kidding, eh. Yeah, I was very, very, very surprised," Terry continued with a sigh. "Everything I've done for the team, everything I've done for the community...I thought they'd sign me back and they didn't, so that's life and I'm going to teach those things to me daughters."

Hearing Terry's heavy tone, Yiyang believed that it was true!

"No, no, it's impossible!" Yiyang hurriedly shook his head, which startled the ignorant Vignali. "There's... no reason at all, why don't they renew your contract!"

Yiyang was in a hurry. During the playoffs, he had already lost Kidd in the team. Now, he doesn't want to lose Terry again!

"The Boston Celtics called me and Rivers said on the phone, 'We need you, you're our number one target,' and if I got the same call from the Mavericks, I'd still be Mavericks. But..." Terry was so obviously down that he couldn't even get the whole thing out in a row. "But ... Mark said he wasn't going to renew my contract."

"Damn it, I'm going to ask him, ask Mark. We have to be on the same team, and we're going to win the championship together!" Yi Yang finished speaking and hung up the phone. Without hesitation, he called Cuban immediately.

Cuban is in his office at this time, studying the team's construction plan for this summer. When he saw the name on the caller ID on his mobile phone, Cuban actually knew the purpose of Yiyang's call.

"Hello, how was your vacation?"

"Mark, Jeter said that you don't plan to renew the contract with him, is that true!?" Yiyang, who was in a hurry, didn't beat around the bush, and got straight to the point when he got on the phone.

"It's a pity, too. I'm also sad that Jeter is leaving, and we have a very good relationship. But... yeah, it's true. We can't re-sign him for the team's summer plans. " Cuban is also quite frank, everything he does is for the good of the team, so he is not afraid of any doubts.

"But..." Yiyang didn't know what to say, the operation of the team is the boss's business, so what can he change?

"Don't worry, Jeter will not leave in vain. If all goes well, you may have to partner with Deron Williams in the backcourt in the new season."

"Who?" At this moment, Yiyang's mind went blank.

"Deron Williams, believe me, you guys will become the most threatening backcourt combination in the league." Cuban raised his mouth slightly, he was still secretly proud of his plan...
