One Guard

　　 The NBA came to Dallas 30 years ago. The city welcomed this team very much and named it the "Mavericks."

　　 In just four seasons, the Mavericks have become a strong team. Since that season, this NBA upstart has reached the playoffs for 5 consecutive years.

　　 The team’s first climax came in 1988. They have never gone so far in the playoffs. The Dallas Mavericks successfully reached the Western Conference Finals. In Texas, fans also chanted the "BEATLA" slogan.

　　 However, it is a pity that the Mavericks eventually fell under the thriving Lakers and failed to go further. But the Dallas Mavericks have become a rising star in the 1980s.

　　 Everyone thinks that the Mavericks can get better and continue to make progress as before. However, after the time came to the 90s, everything changed.

　　 The Mavericks, who have not tried the taste of the playoffs for ten consecutive years, have undoubtedly entered the lowest period in team history. Even if the team later ushered in Nowitzki and Nash, the situation did not get better.

　　 But fortunately, all this did not last long. When a young new owner took over the team, he successfully drove away the dark age belonging to the Mavericks.

　　 Cuban injected his passion and financial resources into the team. After that, the team reached the finals in only 6 years. Moreover, the Mavericks also achieved a huge 2-0 advantage in the finals. It seems that the city of Dallas is only half way away from their first championship trophy.

　　 But in the end, the tragic Mavericks became the foil for the Heat and Wade to complete the reversal. For the next four years, the Mavericks seemed unable to recover. In three of the four seasons, they all stopped in the first round of the playoffs.

　　 In the 06-07 season, the Mavericks even let the Warriors led by Byron Davis complete the black eight miracle! The Mavericks' horrible 67 wins in the regular season has become meaningless.

　　The championship, once was getting closer and closer to the city of Dallas. But now, it has become more and more distant.

　　 With the advent of the 10-11 season, it seems that the Mavericks players themselves are the only ones who believe that the Mavericks can win the championship.

　　 Outside, the Big Three of the Heat have successfully gathered together. The Mavericks' slightly older lineup does not seem to be enough at all.

　　 But in this pre-season training camp, everyone's topic is basketball, and everyone's training is very hard. And everyone is convinced of their last piece of the puzzle!

　　 "Slow!" Terry shouted while standing on the sidelines with a stopwatch, Yiyang stopped dribbling, and Kidd, who was defending him, stopped his pace.

"Five seconds, you can't even live with him as an old man! It's **** shit, those in suits must be blind to make a guy like you a flower hunter!" Terry, an "old villain", can't Being polite to Yiyang, he directly exploded with foul language, and showed no mercy.

　　 "Okay, and done well enough!" Kidd wiped the sweat from his forehead, and his training jersey was completely soaked with sweat at the moment.

"Are you a teacher like this? Why do you be so gentle with him? As I said, dribbling must rely on changes in rhythm. Your straight-and-forward acceleration will not work in a real NBA arena. Yes! Do you think everyone is the Harlan Gaudi who was selected in the second round and switched to power forward?" This guy Terry is completely singing a "black face" character. He and Kidd actually They all like Yiyang very much. But a guy like Terry wouldn't talk to Yiyang as kindly as Kidd.

　　 Yiyang didn't compete with Terry either. Although he didn't say anything, he knew that these two "old men" also wanted to become stronger.

"Well, let’s practice here today. Jason is right, your rhythm is not very good. However, you have made a lot of progress. After a short rest, Dirk will accompany you to practice shooting." Kidd finished speaking, picked up Gatorade and walked out of the training ground. But Yiyang, who is also sweating profusely, can't leave yet. He has to continue to practice shooting with Nowitzki.

　　 Not only Cuban and Carlisle, but even the Mavericks players have taken special care to Yiyang. Of course, they did not deliberately make things difficult for Yiyang, but they all want to develop Yiyang's infinite potential.

　　 Ten minutes later, Nowitzki walked into the court in a training suit.

　　 "How is the breakthrough practice?" The German is known for being kind in the NBA, and he is even more kind to his little brother. As soon as he entered the door, he cordially asked Yiyang about his training situation.

　　 "Not very good." Yiyang's answer was still brief. He had picked up the basketball on the ground and started to shoot for himself.

　　 "Hey, let's make a game?" Nowitzki saw that Yiyang didn't seem to be in a high mood, so he took the initiative to walk to this flower show, showing the "Silver Horn King" unique smile.

"A person shoots anywhere, and if he makes a shot, the other person must try a jump shot from the same position. If he makes a shot, the person who makes the second shot gets one point. If he doesn't make it, the person who makes the first shot gets one point. How is it? We practice for 40 minutes, and the loser will cover dinner."

　　 Nowitzki's eyebrows did not scare Yiyang. The victorious Chinese boy nodded gently and agreed to Nowitzki's proposal.

　　 However, after the game started. Whether it was Yiyang first or Nowitzki first, Yiyang couldn't bite the score. Nowitzki's field goal percentage on the training ground is almost the same as 100 shots and 100 hits. No matter how tricky position Yiyang chooses to shoot, Nowitzki can always make another shot in exactly the same place.

　　 Of course, the two are not just like this. In the process of Yiyang shooting, Nowitzki will always tell Yiyang some very practical tips.

"If there is a big player coming out to make up for defense in this position, don't hesitate to lean on him as much as possible to make a foul! Don't think this is a speculation, as long as you can score, it is a good goal!" When Yang took one step outside the three-second zone, Nowitzki began to teach Yiyang's experience again and again.

　　 Coming to a strong team may not be all bad for rookies. At least here, the guidance Yiyang can get is something Wal and Turner can't envy.

　　 After 40 minutes of shooting training ended, Yiyang, who was out of breath, lost to the German without any suspense. When the two dragged their tired bodies back to the dressing room, Yiyang found that Terry, who had changed his clothes, hadn't left yet.

　　 "I heard that someone invited to dinner today?" "Jet" raised an eyebrow at Nowitzki and laughed happily.

　　※※※

Although 　　 is for dinner, under the strict requirements of the nutritionist, Yiyang and his group of three also ordered a few steaks with less oil and some fruit salads in a restaurant.

　　 This kind of dinner is not a sumptuous meal at all, nor can it cost Yiyang a few dollars. After all, with the efforts of Bill Duffy, Yiyang is now a millionaire who is just like a fake replacement.

　　 "Hey, rookie, do you know who our opponent is the day after tomorrow?" While waiting for the dish, Terry suddenly asked Yiyang an undifficult question.

　　 "Lynx."

　　 "You are lucky, at least this fishy team won't make your debut too embarrassing." It turned out that Terry started to "habitually" Nayiyang again.

　　 "Cut." Yiyang gave Terry a white look, this old guy is really a knife.

　　 "Hey, do you think we can win the championship this season?" Terry didn't back down because of it~www.novelmtl.com~ continued to tease Yiyang.

　　 As soon as this question came out, even Nowitzki was a little stunned. The championship... that's how many years the Mavericks have dreamed.

　　 "I'm going to get an O'Brien Cup tattoo, because I think we have something to do this season! Rookie, are you coming?" Terry said without paying attention to the expressions of Nowitzki and Yiyang.

　　 "Haha, are you crazy Jett. (Jet, meaning jet. Nowitzki smiled wryly.

　　 "I'm not crazy Dirk, hey rookie, are you coming?"

　　 "I don't have a tattoo." Yiyang replied coldly.

　　 "Tsk tsk, look, our flower show is scared. I know, after all, the pain of tattoos can't be tolerated by children like you. It doesn't matter, I will go by myself tomorrow morning." Terry shook his head exaggeratedly.

　　 "Old man! Who said I was scared!" At this moment, Yiyang couldn't help it.

　　 "Aren't you afraid? You'll be with me if you're not afraid!" Terry knew that this stupid boy had taken the bait!

　　 "Let's be together! Let's go tonight!" Yiyang responded stiffly.

　　 "Good boy, after dinner, I will take you to the best tattoo artist in Dallas!"

　　 Dirk Nowitzki looked at the two people who were bickering and shook his head. Maybe I should have their hard work. Championship, why not! ?

　　 The game of the new season is imminent. Yiyang's first NBA game is also coming soon.

　　 The world of professional basketball, it seems, is about to change! The Chinese boy who is discussing tattoos with Terry at the moment, may he really change the destiny of the city of Dallas?

　　 The upcoming NBA regular season will reveal everything!
