One Guard

Bill Duffy was woken up by the alarm clock on his mobile phone that he set. He had just returned to New York from dilapidated Detroit last night for Jennings' business contract, and it stands to reason that he should have a good rest. But so many things still forced Duffy to wake up early in the morning sunshine.

Duffy walked out of the room. His virtuous wife had prepared coffee and newspapers for him. Although we are now in an era of Internet information explosion, Duffy still maintains the habit of reading newspapers every day. It's a good thing that Duffy has a wife who manages the house, otherwise his busy life would definitely be a mess.

Daffy picked up the coffee and the newspaper, his eyes quickly searching for information on it. As a professional manager, it is no exaggeration to describe Duffy's reading speed as one glance and ten lines. He can read various information on contracts quickly and accurately, not to mention reading newspapers.

Without much effort, Duffy read the entire sports section of the newspaper. As expected, those voices questioning Yiyang "disappeared out of thin air" again.

"Humph, a bunch of idiots!" The experienced manager smiled. Yiyang may be the first player in history who doesn't have to worry about external public opinion with Duffy. The Chinese man has a strong heart and never seems to care what others say about him. And he will always shut up all those who doubt him with his outstanding performance.

It is really hard to imagine that 24 hours ago, there was overwhelming negative news about Yiyang. The media simply portrayed him as a playboy who ignored his work for women.

But what about 24 hours later? No one dared to speak out anymore. Yiyang's beautiful response after yesterday's game made all those who doubted him have their mouths swollen.

But Duffy also knows that Yiyang's commercial value lies there after all. No matter when, no matter how good he is, there will always be people who will give him trouble. However, this is exactly a symbol of his excellence. No one cares about an unknown player. Only true superstars will become the focus of public opinion. Duffy only hopes that boy Yiyang can maintain his good condition.

Although Yiyang is now Duffy's biggest cash cow, on the contrary, he is also the player who gives him the most peace of mind. When it comes to Yiyang, Duffy has almost nothing to worry about. Of course, it would indeed be more troublesome to convince Yiyang to participate in business activities.

Yiyang didn't know that in New York on the east coast, there was a middle-aged man who was "thinking about" him. But he knew that far away in Italy, a young and lively girl must have missed him.

Early this morning, Vignelli’s Twitter exploded. The reason is simple. This sexy and innocent Italian women's basketball player has posted several intimate photos of herself and Yiyang in Italy.

Although Yiyang and Vignali's relationship was announced a long time ago, the two rarely interacted on social media. Some male fans who are obsessed with Vignali even believe that the relationship between Yiyang and Vignali is just a "commercial" romance and not real.

However, after Vignelli posted a bunch of loving selfies and captioned the photos with the word "miss you," many male fans left desperate messages under the tweet.

"I never want to play basketball again!"

Seeing their beloved goddess being held in the arms of another man, and there was even a photo of Yiyang's hand on Vignali's chest intentionally or unintentionally, these poor male fans undoubtedly suffered a lot. A critical hit of 10,000 points.

As soon as Vignali's tweet was posted, she and Yiyang instantly became another hot topic in the basketball circle.

"The most beautiful couple in basketball."

"The best couple for basketball."

"Proud on the court, BA's most special MVP, and won the heart of the goddess."

This time, not only sports magazines, but also many 18th-line gossip magazines in China published news about Yiyang and Vignali. Originally, the cross-border romance between Chinese athletes and foreign athletes was very special, and Vignali's actions undoubtedly made her famous in China.

Yiyang's only good thing is that Terry is now playing in Brooklyn. If that old boy was still in Dallas, he would definitely be complained to death today.

However, when Yiyang stepped into the training hall today, his teammates all gave him a bad smile. Even Gobert, a rookie, came up and joked with Yiyang: "When will your girlfriend introduce her sisters to me?"

Seeing that the atmosphere in the team became more relaxed, Carlisle was actually quite comfortable. The pressure on the Mavericks has indeed been too great recently. Don't think that it is comfortable to sit at the top of the league. Once you sit on it, you are always worried about whether you will be picked off by others.

Today, the players are obviously much more relaxed. Carlisle believes that in the long regular season, occasional de-stressing measures are still necessary.

One of the most significant changes after the players relaxed their mood is that the team's training quality today is very high. Everyone swept away their fatigue and completed all plans while talking and laughing on the training ground.

Whenever Yiyang failed to score a goal, everyone would tease him: "Man, are you thinking about your Italian girl again?"

Afterwards, the training ground is always filled with laughter. In this way, after a day of training, not only did everyone not feel tired, but they also became familiar with the tactics without knowing it.

With this relaxed state, on December 28, the Mavericks faced the Bulls at home. The Chicago Bulls, who are eager for revival, have no longer been favored by people since losing Derrick Rose, and their strength is no longer among the top in the league.

Facing such a leaderless enemy, the Mavericks, whose mentality and body had been adjusted to the best condition, naturally played smoothly and encountered almost no difficulties in the 48-minute game.

Kirk Hinrich, a veteran white guard who had performed well in Chicago, was no match for Yiyang. Yiyang's speed left Hinrich helpless on the defensive end. Joakim Noah, a center who is not good at offense, and Carlos Boozer, who is past his peak, failed to make any big waves in the three-second zone guarded by Gobert. As for Jimmy Butler, the 30th pick in 2011 who has made significant progress this season and has high hopes, he was taught a lesson by Tony Allen today.

Jimmy took 10 shots in the game, but only hit 2 goals. From beyond the three-point line, he was even blocked from shooting 1 of 7. The Bulls are misfiring both inside and outside, and they don't have a superstar like Rose to help them attack the city. Facing a calf in excellent condition and with a relaxed mind, such a bull will only be slaughtered.

105 to 83, a huge 22-point difference truly reflected the situation on the court. Facing the excellent Mavericks, the Chicagoans were completely helpless. Yiyang scored another double-double with 28 points and 13 assists. Without Rose, Yiyang would have no opponent at all in this game.

Winning the battle with Chicago, the Mavericks also achieved seven consecutive victories. Showing affection and winning games, Yiyang can be said to be one of the players who has had the smoothest life during this period.

Under this good momentum, in the last game of 2013, the Mavericks naturally won the Huskies who were hovering on the edge of the top eight in the Western Conference in the ice-cold Minnesota... no, it was the Timberwolves. Although the Timberwolves' performance on the court is almost as good as the Huskies.

Love completely turned into an anti-shooting fort today, but his three-point shooting rate of 2 of 7 obviously failed to meet the needs of the Timberwolves.

Pekovic scored 18 points in the game. The Montenegrin center has indeed had the momentum to kill everyone recently. But he is not a super scorer anyway, and the Timberwolves cannot expect to rely on Pekovic's scoring to lead the team to victory.

Compared to the petty fights between Love and Pekovic, Yiyang is not so childish. If you don't take action, that's it. Once you do, you'll naturally have to get a high score.

With 32 points, 10 assists, 4 rebounds, 3 steals and a big block that knocked Brewer to the ground, Yiyang's personal data is still dazzling, and the Mavericks also put a perfect end to their 2013 in Minnesota. period.

So far, the Mavericks have a record of 26 wins and only 4 losses, leading the pack. The eight-game winning streak is likely to continue.

People say that the Western Conference Player of the Month award for December has been reserved by Yiyang. What's more, Yiyang has been regarded as the regular season MVP winner this season.

This is competitive sports, as long as you win, everyone will be on your side.

Looking at Yiyang's many achievements, some people will be surprised and some will be jealous. And there are so few people who just feel unwilling...

While Yiyang defeated the Timberwolves, a game was also in full swing at the Palace of Auburn Hills in Detroit.

At this time, the situation of the game is completely controlled by a point guard. He gritted his teeth and persisted until the end, not wanting to see a comeback at a critical moment.

As a result, the defender resolutely broke through on the offensive end. His speed was so fast that the player defending him had no time to move laterally. This scene of overtaking by force of speed is so similar to Yiyang!

Breaking into the paint, the defender flicked the ball, and the basketball fell into the net under the desperate eyes of the big man.

Suddenly, the whole place fell into silence. Only the defender who scored the goal showed a satisfied smile.

Do you think the guard who dominates games at the Palace of Auburn Hills is Brandon Jennings, who is currently playing for the Pistons? No, the man who just did those things is named John Wall!

"Wall, a beautiful breakthrough. His speed makes Jennings and even the entire Pistons unable to defend! It's 26 points. Wall has scored 26 points in this game. There are still 40 seconds left in the game. , and Wall's goal gave the Wizards a critical 4-point lead. Let's see who can have the last laugh in this game that is related to changes in the Eastern Conference rankings!" Reggie Miller was on the commentary desk. Dancing with joy, he thought this game would be very dull. After all, neither the Wizards nor the Pistons were particularly strong teams. But to everyone's surprise, Wall put on a great show!

At the critical moment, the Pistons still chose to trust Jennings. Although Jennings' performance this season is far less impressive than when he was with the Bucks, at least this guy was once a superstar, and Jennings has more experience in what to do at critical moments.

However, what disappointed Pistons coach Maurice Cheeks was that Jennings finally chose to force a shot against Wall's defense!

"Damn it!" After seeing Jennings' incredible shot selection, Cheeks really regretted giving him the power of the final attack. Maybe it would be better to try Cadwell Pope instead!

The basketball came out of the frame. "Polish Hammer" Gortat grabbed the defensive rebound and threw a long pass to Wall.

Wall broke into a three-pointer, but suddenly took a step back and returned to outside the three-point line. In the astonished eyes of everyone, Wall directly shot a chasing three-pointer!

"Is the No. 1 pick also stupid!?" Cheeks was overjoyed when he saw Wall give up the opportunity to hit the basket and shoot a three-pointer. God, haven't sentenced him and the Pistons to death yet.

But the next second, the basketball passed through the net, leaving only the still shaking net. All the Pistons fans in the audience were stunned. Did Wall kill the game just now?

"John Wall! He hit a decisive three-pointer and widened the point difference to 7 points! It's over, the game is over. There is no way the Pistons can catch up with 7 points in less than 30 seconds. Let us congratulate you. The Washington Wizards, at the end of 2013, they won two consecutive games in the regular season!" Reggie Miller shouted passionately from behind the commentary desk. Wall's way of ending the game was so exciting.

The game was indeed, as Miller said, ultimately won by the Wizards, and the ending did not change.

Wall, who scored 29 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds in the game, was also surrounded by reporters.

After answering a few reporters' questions, Wall, who was in a good mood, was preparing to return to the locker room. But a ****** reporter stopped him, obviously wanting to conduct an interview.

Wall did not refuse, but waited for the other party to ask questions.

"Congratulations Wall, this is the Wizards' second consecutive victory. In the next game, facing Yi, who has performed well recently, can you guarantee that you will still perform well?"

The reporter put the topic to Wall's lips, but the smile on Wall's face gradually disappeared.

Yiyang? The guy I've been chasing is finally here...
