One Guard

Chapter 822 : Chris’ Favor

“Can you imagine? The great will come here in person!” When Chris Paul saw Yiyang personally visit, there was a hint of irony in his tone of voice.

Durant joined the Warriors, this move made everyone completely crazy. The league is in chaos, and stars from all walks of life are discussing how to group together. Looking at the tragic end of Yiyang and James in the playoffs, you know how terrifying the Warriors are. James finally didn’t have to face Yiyang again, but the attack line composed of Curry, Durant, and Thompson still made LeBron unable to withstand it.

This summer is destined to be a lively summer. Paul George, Kyrie Irving, Chris Paul, Gordon Hayward, Derrick Rose, Carmelo Anthony…Most of the stars you can name are all this summer. It is possible to change ownership. Maybe after a summer, the entire league will be reshuffled.

Throughout the history of the NBA, perhaps no summer can be as crazy as this year. And what caused all this was Durant’s decision. When another superstar joins a 71-win team, everyone can’t bear it. To defeat that invincible warship in Oakland, everyone must join hands.

Of course, the Dallas Mavericks are the object that most stars don’t want to team up with. After all, Durant was forced into a group, in the final analysis, because the Mavericks are unstoppable! Although the Mavericks lost the championship this season, they stopped in the Western Conference Finals. But their image as a public enemy of the whole people is deeply ingrained.

This is why, when Chris Paul saw Yiyang coming, his eyes were both surprised and proud. The super team that has beaten the Clippers countless times back then has a time of decline!

However, after Paul and the Clippers fell apart, he did not hate Yiyang so much. After all, now, even Paul himself wants to be fat and beat the Clippers.

“I don’t want to force you, Chris. But if we can join forces…”

“I don’t think the Clippers will trade with you. The Rockets are willing to pay half of the team and precious draft picks to get me. What about the Mavericks? What do the Mavericks have? Unless you swap with me, hahahaha. Paul laughed and interrupted Yiyang’s conversation directly.

“That’s a shame, Chris. We just eliminated the Rockets this season. By the way, last season too. Hopefully… we don’t have to meet again.” Yiyang got up and prepared to leave, he lowered his face and took the initiative to visit Paul, I hope Paul will put pressure on the Clippers management to accept the Mavericks trade. However, for now, Paul has no intention of joining the Mavericks at all.

As said before, the Dallas Mavericks are still the enemy of the whole nation.

Watching Yiyang leave, Paul put away a smile instead. Although the Mavericks are the public enemy of the whole people, the atmosphere of this team is good, but there is no doubt about it. Look at the progress of rookies such as Gobert and Majori. With leaders like Yiyang, rookies are very suitable for growing up in Dallas. Paul suddenly thought of someone who might be able to achieve a win-win goal.

“I have a name, maybe you will use it.”

Hearing Paul say this, Yiyang stopped and turned around again.

※※※

On June 23, 2017, when the whole world was still cheering for the Warriors’ momentum to win the championship, when those who hated the Mavericks were still mocking Yiyang. At the Barclays Center in New York, the 2017 NBA Draft is in full swing.

It stands to reason that a championship team like the Dallas Mavericks should pay less attention to the draft. Although the Mavericks have had a precedent for the low-ranking Taobao selection of Gobert in recent years, it is a small probability event after all. The Mavericks can’t expect to complete a single draft and surpass the Warriors.

Therefore, when reporters discovered that Yiyang was also present at the draft conference today, they were very incomprehensible. The Mavericks only have one second-round pick this season and one second-round pick. Why is it worth Yiyang’s personal trip?

“Why did that guy show up here? Is it possible that the Mavericks are about to tear down and rebuild!?” Mu Ran’s assistant asked curiously. This summer, most of the contracts of the Mavericks’ three consecutive championship veterans have expired, and they have quite a bit of ownership. Large operating space. Maybe they will not renew these veterans, but start rebuilding with fresh blood. After all, Yiyang is only 27 years old, and the Mavericks have enough time to reopen a second dynasty.

Mu Ran did not answer, because he himself was not sure. But he is sure that if Yiyang visits the Barclays Center in person, the Mavericks must have taken action!

At this time, in the box of the Barclays Center, Yiyang, Cuban and Nelson are preparing for the draft plan nervously. After visiting Paul, Yiyang did not achieve nothing. In the trial training a few days ago, Yiyang was impressed by two people. One of them is the person Paul mentioned.

Today, the task of Cuban and Nelson is to earn these two people as much as possible!

“Has the news been released!?” Yiyang couldn’t help becoming nervous as he watched Adam Xiao Hua already on stage.

“Well, let it go. Now all the teams know that we are willing to exchange Seth Curry, this year’s second-round pick and next year’s first-round pick. But I can’t guarantee that we will get it. He.” Cuban absolutely trusts Yiyang now, even if this rookie will make them pay such a high price.

Last season, Seth Curry’s performance was actually pretty good, and Cuban believed that he still inherited the Curry’s shooter blood. If Cuban chooses himself, he will not take Seth Curry out and put it on the shelf. But Yiyang spoke highly of the rookie, allowing Cuban to do so regardless of the cost.

The hope of the Dallas Mavericks is Yiyang, not the “poor man” brother of Curry. After all, not everyone can attack his brother like Gasol.

“Where is the other person?”

“We plan to use Dorian Finney Smith and next year’s second-round pick to win a first-round final pick to get him. Currently, the Lakers are very interested in this. You know, Los Angeles needs talent right now. And Smith is the kind of talent they crave.”

The small defender whose name was circumscribed by Cuban was the undrafted draft signed by the Mavericks last year. However, this impactful small guard has played a few jaw-dropping games. Smith still has some cultivation value, at least he has proven himself in the NBA, and it is more reassuring than those rookies who have not played in the NBA.

Little Smith was also a young man Cuban wanted to cultivate, but Yiyang’s important person, Cuban did not hesitate to take him out.

“Are you sure you want to do this? If the deal is done, then we will have no draft pick next year!” Little Nelson looked at Yiyang and Cuban seriously, and Cuban looked at Yiyang again.

Yiyang is not arrogant, he has seriously considered it. When these two men came to the Mavericks for trial training, Yiyang had both personally played against them. Within the scope of operation, they are definitely the two people who can bring the greatest help to the team!

“If we still want to win the championship next season, let’s do it!” Yiyang replied affirmatively, and the revival of Dallas cannot be waited for many years!

Little Nelson smiled. Like Cuban, he absolutely trusts Yiyang. Without Yiyang, the Mavericks are still struggling in the lottery, let alone the dynasty. Since this guy can lead the team to glory, let him go!

The top 12 picks in the 17th draft has nothing to do with the Mavericks. But what makes Yiyang comfortable is that none of the first 12 teams cut off the people the Mavericks wanted.

Finally, at the 13th overall pick, when Adam Xiao Hua pronounced the name, Yiyang’s heartbeat began to accelerate.

“The 13th overall pick in the first round of the 2017 draft. The Denver Nuggets chose…Donovan Mitchell, from the University of Louisville!”

After Xiao Hua finished reciting the name, the reaction on the scene was not great. A rookie with the 13th overall pick is not so much-anticipated. But Yiyang and his boss’ eyes widened, Donovan Mitchell, this is the name Paul gave to Yiyang!

Paul knew that the Rockets could not get the first round pick, but he didn’t want Mitchell to go to some teams that might delay his development. Therefore, Paul simply behaved favorably and let the Mavericks take Mitchell. In this way, Paul can be regarded as giving Yiyang a face, and his little brother can also have a good place to develop.

The relationship between Yiyang and Mudiay is not just an example in the NBA.

“The Nuggets won Mitchell!? They didn’t plan to trade!?” Little Nelson was stunned. Before the draft, the Mavericks had already gone out and were willing to use Curry, next year’s first-round pick and this year’s second-round pick. Go trade Mitchell. No matter who chooses Mitchell, they are willing to make this deal.

“Don’t worry, wait!” Cuban stared at the mobile phone in his hand. It was the first time that he desperately wanted to hear the ringtone of the mobile phone.

The 14th overall result has been announced. The Heat have chosen blue-collar center Adebayor but until now, Cuban has not received a call.

“Damn, it’s impossible for the Nuggets to be interested in Mitchell!? They should, they prefer Curry!”

Just as little Nelson was anxious, the call came. Cuban looked at the telegraph and smiled triumphantly.

“What am I talking about? Don’t worry, man! Look, business is coming!”

After the results of the 15th rank were announced, a piece of the latest transaction information was displayed on the large electronic screen on the spot. The Nuggets didn’t want Mitchell, they actually took a fancy to the Mavericks’ bargaining chips.

This transaction information has not caused much sensation. Mitchell joins the Mavericks, can the Mavericks defeat the Warriors? In their view, the Mavericks are simply struggling.

But Paul at home waved his fist, and now Yiyang owes him a favor. And that kid Mitchell can grow up with peace of mind! This result is really a “double” win.

After taking Mitchell, Yiyang’s heart rate finally calmed down. But this year’s draft, the Mavericks’ operations are not over yet.

When the draft reached the 25th overall pick, “Magic” Johnson finally let go. They accepted the chips from Smith Jr. and next year’s second round, and the 27th overall pick from the Nets was handed over to the Mavericks. “Magic” has draft picks this year, so he can bet on Smith, he has this kind of capital.

At the moment the transaction was completed, Yiyang, Cuban and Nelson looked at each other and smiled. The Dallas Mavericks’ task in the draft this year was successfully completed.

“The 27th overall pick in the 2017 draft, the Dallas Mavericks chose… Kyle Kuzma, from the University of Utah.” Adam Xiao Hua announced. (https:)
