One Guard

　　 Italy, Rome, Lazio. In a huge stadium, spectators were sitting sparsely in the stands. Although not many people watched the ball, when the Lazio No. 8 player who was playing at home received the basketball, the scene burst into violent cheers.

　　 This Italian capital's team has a high popularity, especially when Lazio hit a key goal on the 8th, this small number of viewers of the game, the atmosphere has become frenzied.

"Well done!"

　　 "It's awesome!"

　　 The fans blew their whistle and shouted loudly, but the player who scored the goal on the court, without any celebration, immediately turned back to defense.

　　 Don’t get me wrong, this is not an Italian Football League match. It's the highlight of the Italian Women's Basketball League, Lazio's match against A.C. Milan. In the stadium, Lazio No. 8 is not football player Anderson Hernández, but a slender woman with braids and a hairband, Valentina Vignali.

After 　　 hit a three-pointer, Lazio temporarily leads A.C. Milan by 4 points. At this time, there are only 12 seconds left for the Milan girls.

　　Finally, under Vignali's desperate defense, the opponent's defender missed a three-pointer, and A.C. Milan also wasted their only chance.

　　 Vignali's quasi lore has allowed Lazio to achieve a four-game winning streak since coming to the game this season. Vignali put down her headband and her slender hair fell naturally. Suddenly, the fans who came to watch the game even exploded.

　　 "How can there be such a beautiful basketball player in this world!"

　　 "I'm going to the player channel to find her for her phone number!"

　　 "Don't be silly Totti, people won't pay attention to you at all."

　　 Countless male fans were captured by No. 8 on the court. Of course, in this cold women's basketball league, the reporters all surrounded Vignali.

　　 Vignali, who has entered the professional basketball world as early as 2007, is very familiar with reporters. The girl casually said a few words to dismiss the reporters and squeezed into the player channel.

　　 She stepped away from her long legs and quickly returned to the dressing room. Turn on the phone to see, there is no Mavericks game results and Yiyang game data.

　　 Vignali took a closer look. It turned out that the Mavericks game is tomorrow. This long-haired girl seems to have missed the Mavericks' game time because of intense training.

　　 Vignali was a little disappointed, but she still opened the official NBA website with her mobile phone and clicked on the latest rookie ranking.

On the 　　 webpage, Yiyang’s photo and a short paragraph of text appeared immediately. The player who ranks number one on the rookie rankings is always the first to appear. Vignali still remembers that before the start of the new season, when she clicked on this list, Wall was the first to appear.

"In the match between the Mavericks and the Celtics the day before yesterday, it almost became the core of the Mavericks running the ball. The whole game also scored a double-double of 18 points and 10 rebounds. Most importantly, the last moment of the game , The flower-seeking show also gave out the first lore of his career! In the past three games, he also won double-doubles in a row, and his performance was amazing. With this strong momentum, we let Yili beat Wall and line up. Number one in the latest rookie ranking!"

　　 This short text is the NBA official's recent evaluation of Yiyang. Last year's top pick Griffin and this year's top pick John Wall both fell to second and third, behind Yiyang! As for Evan Turner, who was selected in front of Yiyang this year, he ranked seventh, far behind!

　　 Looking at Yiyang's ranking and the excellent evaluation of him from the outside world, Vignali couldn't help but smile.

　　 "Hey, who is this?" At this moment, one of Vignari's teammates saw the photo on the star's phone.

　　 "Don't you know him? This year's NBA Flower Show. I was with him in the commercials in Los Angeles." Vignali was not shy, but generously introduced Yiyang to his teammates.

　　 "Are you an Asian? My God, Valentina, so you like such a man. No wonder, you rejected that young singer the other day." Women are always gossiping, even professional basketball players.

"I just think his style of play is very worth studying. Now we have won four games in a row. We must not lose the chain." Vignali shook his head. This group of teammates will use men to drive themselves all day long. Joke.

　　 But the unnatural expression of the girl with big eyes wearing the No. 8 jersey reveals that she doesn't just want to learn Yiyang's style of play...

　　※※※

　　 "Ah cut!" On the training ground, Yiyang suddenly sneezed. After December, even the sunny Dallas, it gradually became colder.

"Have you got the flu boy? If so, go to the team doctor to get some medicine. I don't want your performance on the basketball court to be affected by the flu." Rick Carlisle looked at that increasingly important Yiyang's No. 1 rookie, but Yiyang just waved his hand gently.

After 　　, Yiyang suddenly jumped forward and almost stabbed the basketball in Kidd's hands. Fortunately, Kidd has quick eyes and quick hands, avoiding Yiyang's big hands. Otherwise, Yiyang might have hit a counterattack now.

　　 Carlisle looked at this scene and smiled satisfied. Although Yiyang's steal was unsuccessful, you have to know that not everyone can instinctively protect basketball like Kidd. If you just had the ball changed to someone else, maybe Yiyang really succeeded.

"Too impatient kid! Your stealing intentions should be more secretive, don't behave like a hound that sees a rabbit!" Kidd continued to teach Yiyang his experience, so he played confrontational training with Kidd. Often Yiyang's favorite. After all, in this process, he can learn too much.

"What kind of hound is he? I think this kid treats you as the Italian women's basketball player. Also, this kid, I probably wanted to pounce on it a long time ago." Terry suddenly blurted out a joke, making the Mavericks group The elders laughed together.

　　 "Fuck, you old guy thinks about this all day long?" Yiyang, who was opened by Terry, waved his fist again.

　　 "Gentlemen, you are playing a game! Be serious!" Rick Carlisle's roar ended it all.

　　 This small episode in training did not actually upset Carlisle. A season is very long. If the players are tight throughout, then the Mavericks themselves will collapse first without waiting for their opponents.

　　 The relaxed atmosphere during training at least proves that the players are not too tired and tired, and that the dressing room is in good condition.

　　Yiyang's first position in the rookie rankings, although Wenxue and Vignali were delighted, it also made Yiyang a target of criticism from the American media.

"In the game between the Clippers and Jazz last Sunday, teenager Griffin scored 15 points and 12 rebounds at halftime. Although he was sent off in the fourth quarter, he still had 16 points and 17 rebounds. Liffin has performed amazingly in the last two games, averaging 21 points and 13.5 rebounds per game. Such a guy is rarer than a Chinese?"

"Wall averaged 9.6 assists per game in the first five games, ranking fifth in the league, and sent 10 assists in the game against the Cavaliers last Sunday and won a double-double. If it can also be first, then why is Wall? No way?"

　　Yiyang knows that even on an international stage like the NBA, the Americans’ discrimination against Asians will remain unchanged.

　　 Many people simply cannot accept the fact that a guy with a yellow skin becomes the number one rookie leader. The next game of the Mavericks made the media who think so cheered.

　　 Two days after defeating the Celtics, the Mavericks met the Nuggets at home for the second time this season. Compared to the last game, Anthony's hand feels hot today.

　　 In the whole game, "Little Melon" scored 36 points and hit 57.7%. J.R. Smith also drew up, scored 20 points and shot 48%.

　　 It's not that the Mavericks' defense was not good enough today~www.novelmtl.com~, but that the goals of these two people are not reasonable at all. In a variety of interference shots, Anthony and JR can hit consecutively. The Mavericks were finally defeated by the Nuggets 103-92 at home. This is also the first defeat the Mavericks have suffered this season.

　　 Yiyang's data today is not as gorgeous as the previous two games, with 12 points and 7 assists, looking mediocre. This happens to give the media who are not optimistic about Yiyang a chance to publicize it.

　　 Although two days later, the Mavericks defeated the Grizzlies again on the away game to avoid losing streak. However, Yiyang's 10 points and 7 assists data still let the media catch the handle.

　　 Actually, Yiyang's performance in these games is pretty good. His statistics are not good, mainly because after Kidd's physical recovery, Yiyang's playing time has been reduced to a certain extent. In terms of shots, Yiyang did not deliberately score.

　　 But those media who are not optimistic about Yiyang can ignore these factors. In their eyes, Yiyang's current performance is simply not worthy of the number one rookie list.

　　 is not just the media, but Evan Turner, the top pick before Yiyang, also thinks so.

　　Yiyang is the first, and he is shamefully ranked seventh. Turner wouldn't just swallow this tone so silently. In the next game, the Philadelphia 76ers will go to Dallas as a guest. Turner knew that this duel with Yiyang would be a chance for him to stand up and prove himself!

　　 Eyeing opponents and malicious media have already been eyeing Yiyang, how will this cold flower-seeking show respond?

　　 In the NBA, every step Yiyang takes, he will encounter huge obstacles. But the toughest rookie is the challenge!

　　 76ers and Evan Turner? Just let it go!
