At the end of September, another offseason officially ended. When the Mavericks' preseason training camp began, reporters weren't in Dallas to see Howard and Delon. Williams, in his place, is Mayo, who has fallen from the "next superstar" position, and Kaman, who has nothing to do with the super center.

"It's really tricky, a month ago, the Mavericks formed a Big Four lineup that was almost a sure thing. But looking at it now, I don't think their squad is as good as last season. Mougins raised his camera and took a few casual photos in the training ground, and there were not many reporters who came to Dallas for interviews today. Compared to the teams that made shocking signings or trades in the summer, the Mavericks really don't have much to offer. If it weren't for Yiyang and Yi Jianlian here, Mougins would not have let go of teams like the Lakers and Heat to Dallas.

"The NBA is what it is, and every team is eager to make a difference with a summer of operation. However, every year, only one or two teams can succeed. Mark. Kuban's ambitions are too big, and he wants to bring the two biggest fish of the year to Dallas, but how is this possible? Beside Mougins, an American colleague spread his hands. The Mavericks haven't been looking to build a luxury roster only in recent years, and Cuban has been aiming to recruit enough stars to Dallas since he took over the Mavericks. However, after all these years, the Mavericks' roster has not improved much. Even when they won the championship the year before, the Mavericks' roster was more "grassroots" than the Heat.

Since it was the first day of training, the players didn't look too familiar. Nowitzki and Kaman are teammates in the national team, so naturally there is no problem for the two to communicate. Mayo admires Nowitzki very much in his heart, so he and Nowitzki get along quite well. But Mougins had been watching from the sidelines for so long, and he found that from beginning to end, Yiyang didn't seem to have said a word to Mayo.

Mayo doesn't get along with everyone, otherwise he wouldn't have received a contract extension from the Grizzlies this summer. As a potential stock that can contribute 18+3+3 in his rookie season, Mayo should now sign a long-term contract close to the maximum salary. But his negative press off the field and problems with his teammates have caused his stats to decline year after year.

Cuban's choice to sign Mayo was also a helpless move. In order to wait for DeLong, the Mavericks have missed too many signing opportunities. When the Kuban reacted, there was only O.J. Mayo.

"This year, the outside world is still very optimistic about the backcourt combination of Yihe Mayo, and their ceiling is the most scoring backcourt partner in the league." Looking at the two people who did not speak to each other on the field, the American counterpart muttered to himself.

"And what about their lower limit?" Mougins asked.

"Their lower limit is that they have a good chance of ending the Mavericks' 12-year streak of reaching the playoffs." The American counterpart tilted his head, who can say clearly about the NBA?

During the days of the training camp, Yiyang felt that every day passed quickly. Although I can't play around with Vignali, I can't enjoy my mother's healthy afternoon tea at home. But on the sweaty basketball court, Yiyang is the most fulfilling.

In a few days, Yiyang gradually got acquainted with his new teammates. Although Yiyang doesn't like to talk, he is not the kind of person with a weird personality. In addition, he is now one of the "veterans" of the Mavericks, so people will not reject Yiyang like rejecting newcomers. You must know that in the lineup of the Mavericks who won the championship last year, only Yiyang, Nowitzki and Marion remained. This shows how much the Mavericks have changed in the past two years.

Once the cabinet that belonged to Peja was after going through the Delonti. After the "destruction" of West's hidden gun, it is now in the hands of Mayo. And Yi Jianlian moved to Yiyang's side and took possession of the locker that originally belonged to Terry. This is what Yiyang himself requested, and he is used to sitting next to him with his friend. So he applied to Carlisle to let Yi Jianlian move next to him, and Carman went to use the cabinet that used to belong to Yi Jianlian.

After nearly a month of training camp, Yiyang actually has no sense of estrangement between him and the new players. But there is one exception, this guy is Mayo, who was once compared to Jordan.

"Hey, the change of direction you shook over Darren today is really beautiful! If you have time, you'll have to teach me that movement. "After another day of training, everyone went back to the dressing room to change their clothes and get ready to leave. During this time, the dressing room is bound to be quite lively. The players may meet up where they will go to relax or talk about the short-term things in their parents. Mayo also took the initiative to talk to Yiyang, but in fact, on the surface, the relationship between the two seems to be pretty good.

"Of course it's no problem, I'll have to practice later, will you stay? If you stay, I can practice that move with you. Yiyang doesn't actually have any prejudices about Mayo, but the completely different attitudes of the two towards basketball are the reason why they are always estranged.

"Training? No, I'll ask you again tomorrow when I have time. Hey, there's a new nightclub opening in Dallas today, and I've heard that a lot of beauties and big names will go there. Are you coming? I happen to know someone inside who can book a table for me! Mayo said, winking at Yiyang. He and Yiyang are both young people, so they are actually the most likely to play together.

But Yiyang just shook his head silently and refused Mayo's invitation. "I'm sorry Mayo, I guess I'd better stay and practice."

"Oh." Mayo spread her hands. "That's a shame."

This is the end of the conversation between the two young people. And the two usually can't talk more than two sentences like this. That's why the two young defenders seem to have a good relationship, but there is always a gap. Yiyang only hopes that the estrangement between the two will not affect the tacit understanding on the field.

"You're going to practice again tonight?" After listening to Yiyang and Mayo's conversation, Yi Jianlian became interested. He communicated directly with Yiyang in Chinese, and every now and then, the players in the whole locker room would look at the two with interest.

"Well, what about you?"

"I'm fine tonight, stay and practice shooting with you."

"Hey, what are you two talking about?" Carter couldn't help but interrupt the conversation between the two. "Also teach me a few words of Chinese, and if Chinese reporters want to interview me in the future, I can also show my hand!"

"Hahahaha, come on, Vince, you say Chinese is estimated to make Chinese fans laugh off their teeth." Marion let out a loud laugh, and the pronunciation of Chinese seemed to him to be unbelievable.

"Don't slander me Sean, when I used to watch kung fu movies, I still learned two sentences in Chinese. For example, the grass stepping on the horse! ”

After Carter yelled out this sentence, Yiyang and Yi Jianlian almost couldn't hold back their laughter.

"Hey, what does that mean? I watch kung fu movies where people have to yell at this before they start fighting. Wait, don't say it yet, doesn't this sentence mean, let the horse come! ”

"Do you really want to know what that means, Vince?" Yiyang watched Canada fly in front of him, he had never realized that this guy was so cute.

"Of course, I'm still very confident in my language talent."

“FXCK。”

"Huh!?" Carter was stunned.

"I mean, that sentence translates into English, it's FXCK." Yiyang smiled and shook his head.

"Hahahahaha! Vince, you're a great talent for languages! ”

"That's right, in the future, you won't be able to understand the referee when you scold people on the field! That way, you don't have to worry about eating technical fouls. ”

The atmosphere in the locker room instantly became joyful again, and Yi Jianlian, a shy guy, couldn't help laughing.

I just don't know how long such a joyful atmosphere can be maintained after the start of the new season? Some people get along better with each other, but some people are the opposite.

Time flies, and under Yiyang's daily training, the time soon came to the end of October. At this point, Carlisle has confirmed the Mavericks' main tactics this season, and the offensive focus will shift more from Nowitzki to Yiyang and Mayo. The schedule for the new season has also been released, and the first opponent the Mavericks will meet on their new journey is the Los Angeles Lakers, who formed Super F4 in the summer!

This summer, after the failure to recruit Yiyang, the Lakers immediately reversed the target and got another powerful super point guard from the Suns in the form of a sign and then trade, "Son of the Wind" Steve. Nash.

At this point, an F4 lineup consisting of Kobe, Howard, Gasol and Nash was born. Although Nash and Gasol are no longer in the same state as they were back then, the partnership between Kobe Bryant and "Warcraft" is still reverie. The latest issue of Sports Illustrated magazine even discusses how likely it is that the Lakers will create another dynasty!

Arranging such a matchup at the beginning of the new season will undoubtedly make the league make a lot of money. Although on paper the lineup, there is no way to compare the Mavericks and the ultra-luxurious Lakers F4. However, due to the scandal between the Lakers and Yiyang in the summer, the focus of this game is actually more focused on the entanglement between Yiyang and the Lakers.

You chose to stay in Dallas in the summer, and the Mavericks' roster didn't improve. And the Lakers, who you rejected, have formed perhaps the strongest lineup in history. This layer of conflict makes fans look forward to this game.

Whether Yiyang will suffer the consequences of his decision has undoubtedly whetted everyone's appetite.

Yiyang didn't think about it that much, the only thing he was doing now was training hard and then trying to help the team win the opening game.

That's right, although the opponents the Mavericks are about to face are very strong. But in Yiyang's mind, he was still thinking about victory. Being underestimated by others has long been accustomed to such a thing. In the end, who wins and who loses, how do you know if you don't play?

A season destined to be turbulent will begin again, I wonder what kind of performance Yiyang will bring to the world this year?

Don't get too happy too soon for the Angelens, Dallas No. 1 is in Los Angeles and there is no shortage of victories......
