One Guard

Chapter 71 : The gap between the copper wall and ir

Yiyang walked expectantly in front of his locker. He took a deep breath and opened the cabinet. Inside, except for the Mavericks jersey and NBA socks. On the bottom layer, there are three pairs of brand new Adidas basketball shoes.

Yiyang carefully took out one and held it in his hand. This basketball shoe is matched with white and blue basketball shoes as the main color of the Mavericks. It is the first pair of shoes obtained by Yiyang as the spokesperson of Adidas. Yiyang still remembers how strong his envy was when he saw people wearing these shoes on the field.

However, now he gets these not only without spending a penny, but Adidas also gives him money. Yiyang suddenly felt that the change in his life was really incredible. Basketball, his favorite thing in life, completely changed the destiny of this poor boy.

“Look, our rookie has become a spokesperson.” After Terry opened the locker room door, he “habitually” complained.

“Now Dallas is full of ads for you, I thought you would choose Nike.” Nowitzki also choked up this time, after all, he himself is a spokesperson for Nike.

“Let’s put down your sneakers first, buddy, I just heard outside that that kid Conley wants you to look good!” After Terry sat down, he took out his mobile phone and shook it in front of Yiyang.

Yiyang took a closer look. What was broadcast on his mobile phone was an interview with Grizzlies starting point guard Mike Conley just off the court.

On the screen, Conley, who just got off the team bus, is wearing a suit. Although it hasn’t been a few years since he entered the league, this kid already looks like a star.

“Excuse me, how would you deal with the Mavericks’ prowess on the basketball court?” Kidd is already too old, and comparing him with Conley does not satisfy the appetite of the fans. Therefore, the reporters took advantage of the trend to push Yiyang to the forefront.

“Also? I thought my opponent would be Jason!” Conley’s answer caught the reporters’ interest. He was obviously the one who looked down on the Mavericks!

“Of course, Jason Kidd will continue to start as the Mavericks. But you will inevitably have to fight against you in this game. People say that he will become the best number one player in the new era. So, what do you think of the same young man?” The reporters knew that Conley, the young boy, had taken the bait, so they continued to stimulate him to speak.

“I’ve never heard anyone comment on him like this. I only know that he has a nickname called Summer League Jordan! Hahaha, wait, it will happen naturally on the court.” Conley blinked at the camera and then went. Hastily followed his teammates into the U.S. Route Center Arena.

“Like your new friend?” At the end of the video, Terry also took off his phone.

“Take care of yourself Jett, OJ Mayo may break your old bones.” Yiyang did not respond positively to Terry, but choked with the big brother in the locker room in a cold tone. Up.

“Don’t pretend, kid! If you don’t like him, just embarrass him on the basketball court! This is the NBA, no one can ride on your head and play wild! Play well, I bet five hundred dollars, Mike Conley’s little **** is going to suffer.” Terry grinned, clenched his right hand and stretched out to Yiyang’s side.

“Cut.” Yiyang snorted coldly, but the corner of his mouth was slightly tilted, and he reached out his hand to touch Terry’s fist.

Although the way the two communicate may be special, Rick Carlisle is still very happy that Yiyang can get so close to Terry. Terry can be said to be a stepping stone. As long as Yiyang has a good relationship with Terry, Carlisle doesn’t have to worry that others will dislike Yiyang.

“Okay, okay, hurry up! Do you remember the tactics that were set up yesterday? The Grizzlies’ defense is their most powerful weapon. You must be patient when offensive and patiently look for gaps! As long as it is human , You will definitely make mistakes!” Carlisle’s loud voice made the players formally enter the game state. The huge threat from Memphis is looming. Dallas Mavericks, but don’t want to send out the first defeat of the new season so early!

“23 points, 8 assists and 5 rebounds. This is the data Mike Conley handed over in the opening game. By the way, it is worth mentioning that Conley’s shooting percentage in this game is as high as 60%. In exchange for a mindless shot.”

“What do you want to say Charles? The data can be seen by all of us, and you don’t need to describe it.” Kenny Smith interrupted his partner.

“What I want to say is, whether it is for the old Kidd or the young, they will have unprecedented trouble today! Let’s see, the first position that Cuban is proud of. , Will it be messed up by Conley today?” Barkley finished, and the data comparison between Yiyang and Conley was also displayed under the screen.

Of course, the statistics in the opening game of Yiyang cannot be compared with Conley, but this did not let the enthusiasm of the fans die. Dallas fans want to see how well Yiyang can play when facing a real strong enemy, while Grizzlies fans hope that their future star can reveal the recent turmoil!

Playing the national anthem, warming up, finally deploying… everything is proceeding step by step. When the game started, Yiyang was still placed on the bench by Rick Carlisle.

For Yiyang, Carlisle didn’t want to rush. With Terry and Kidd here, he believes that Yiyang’s progress will not be too slow. Kidd is 38 years old, he is still very capable, but he is no longer the omnipotent legend back then.

The position of the Mavericks starting vacancy in the future will be left to Yiyang sooner or later. Now Carlisle only hopes that everything can proceed step by step.

Yiyang sat down on the bench honestly, and he was not particularly resistant to this when he was used to sitting on the bench in high school.

On the court, the elderly Kidd is not as laid back as Yiyang. After the game started, Marc Gasol beat Chandler on a jump ball.

Conley attacked with the ball. Although the opponent was just a child, Kidd had to take it seriously. I am degenerating, but these young people are constantly improving!

Although Conley is only a third-year player, he is already very sophisticated on the court. He raised his hand casually, “Big Black Bear” Zach Randolph immediately jumped out!

“Pick-and-roll!” The experienced Kidd understood Conley’s intentions at a glance. He was ready to bypass the pick-and-roll. It was not so easy to defeat the old guy Kidd.

However, just before Randolph’s pick-and-roll was in place, Conley suddenly started, holding the ball and walking to the side where there was no pick-and-roll!

Kidd’s brain reacted quickly, but his legs and feet could no longer keep up with the speed of his brain. He tried his best to move one step horizontally, but it was still a second slow, and Mike Conley made the breakthrough!

Kang Li looked at him, and his eyes were extremely wide. So the hope star of the Grizzlies didn’t hesitate to stop and jump and shoot! After all, in the last game, Conley felt hot. Today, he has no reason not to shoot.

Kidd took off with all his strength, but it was still a bit worse. Conley shot calmly, the basketball hollowed into the net!

“Good ball, it seems that Conley has continued his excellent state of the last game. If his performance is still so good, it can be quite tricky for the Mavericks.”

One goal later, although Kidd assisted Nowitzki in singles Randolph succeeded. But soon, Conley tried the same trick again, using his speed to break through Kidd, and once again successfully scored points.

“Damn it!” Kidd couldn’t help cursing while watching Conley score points on his head twice. He wasn’t scolding Conley, he was hating that **** time. If he could be three or four years younger, Conley’s breakthrough would be impossible!

Years are always ruthless, for anyone. Even if Kidd is one of the greatest point guards in NBA history, there is no special treatment at all.

The game lasted more than four minutes. Although Conley’s frequent breakthroughs did not continue to score, they still dealt a blow to the Mavericks’ defense.

Such an anxious situation is not what Rick Carlisle wants to see. The longer the game is delayed, the more physical the players will consume, and the better it will be for the Grizzlies’ defense!

Carlisle was on the sidelines. He was not sure whether Yiyang could still play well in the face of the Grizzlies’ bronze defense, and whether he could still find a teammate in the gap like Kidd. But at this moment, watching Conley making waves on the court, Carlisle seems to have no choice.

This typical academic coach walked up to Yiyang, and all the fans burst into cheers.

“Hahaha, this kid is very popular, Boss.” Terry, who was sitting next to Yiyang, smiled, and even Carlisle loosened his frown when he saw this scene.

“Go to the technical desk to register, it’s time to play!”

As soon as Carlisle finished speaking, Yiyang immediately took off his training suit, tore off his disposable training pants, and trot to the technical stage.

On the field, Nowitzki, who was playing singles with the ball, was violated by Randolph, and the game went into a dead ball state. Kidd looked at the sidelines and slowly walked to Yiyang’s side.

“Be patient, kid. Their defense is not indestructible.” After saying this, Kidd patted Yiyang on the back and took the towel and walked to the bench. The stadium is always handed over to the young people.

Yiyang listened to Kidd’s instructions and then walked to the court in two strides, and now it is the Mavericks who serve the sideline. Before the ball came out, Kang Li, with curly hair, stuck to Yiyang’s side.

Yiyang looked at the court, Nowitzki was stared at by Randolph from beyond the three-point line, and Gasol was interfering with the serve in front of Chandler. As for Barea and Marion, they both made backup catches outside the three-point line. In case Yiyang is blocked, the Mavericks’ ball can still pass through their hands.

It seems that the Grizzlies are staring at everyone, Yiyang has no chance to pass the ball even if he catches the ball.

Before Yiyang could think of a strategy, Tyson Chandler sent a sideline ball, which went straight to Yiyang!

Maybe I want to prove myself too much, maybe I overestimate my strength too much. In short, after playing Kidd out of temper, Conley is now full of self-confidence. He did not continue to stay by Yiyang’s side, but took a step forward, intending to intercept the pass halfway!

Yiyang didn’t give Conley a chance. He took a frame with his left hand and held Conley, then stretched out his long arm to hold the ball steadily.

The moment Yiyang caught the ball, his arm that was holding Conley suddenly let go! Conley’s center of gravity, who was going all the way forward, was not well controlled, and he took a step forward suddenly. This step forward is enough for Yiyang to grasp!

Yiyang directly stuck to Kang Li and turned around. With one footstep, Kang Li was clean!

The Dallas One who just came on the court went straight to the basket, Randolph and Gasol wanted to make up defenses. But how can the slow-footed “two bears” run past lightning?

With the Mavericks drawing all defensive attention to the outside, Yiyang easily broke through and made a layup lightly. It seemed that it didn’t take much effort to score two points on the Grizzlies, which is known for its defense!

“It’s too fast…” Grizzlies coach Lionel Hollins shook his head helplessly. He knew that this flower show would be a threat!

After 　　 scored, Yiyang looked at Conley coldly and compared two fingers.

2 to 0, are you going to fight back?
