Popovich, like everyone else, was taken aback when the trade took place, he didn't expect that someone would be willing to pay a bigger price than himself to get Yiyang.

Indeed, Yiyang's freshman data is indeed very eye-catching, but the only thing he can refer to is this year's performance. In the NCAA or the NBA, there are a lot of guys who do well in one or two seasons once in a while. Look at Michael, who was in the NCAA the year before. Beasley, his terrifying stats are no worse than Yiyang's 15+10, but now it's tepid.

Yiyang's performance in one year is not enough to prove that he can also play well in the NBA. Therefore, Popovich believes that Yiyang's draft pick will not be too exaggerated. He always thought that the sixth pick should be enough for him to intercept Yiyang.

It's just a pity that Cuban got the Chinese kid at a greater price, which Popovich didn't expect before. Mark. Kuban, he is really a gambler worthy of the name! Once this guy wants to get someone, he will really be reckless.

Popovich believes that as long as the Chinese is consistent and unaffected by injury, he can definitely become a good point guard. I hope the Dallas Mavericks won't bury this good seedling......

"Still trading?" Spurs general manager R.C. Forbud watched Yiyang being taken away by the Mavericks and asked Popovich if he wanted to continue trading with the Warriors.

Popovich shook his head. "There's no need, the sixth pick, leave it to the Aucklanders themselves."

Popovich was a little disappointed, but he still hoped that the kid with great potential would be okay in Dallas......

In the ninth pick after Yiyang was drafted, his good partner and friend Gordon . Hayward was finally picked off by the Utah Jazz.

When Hayward excitedly stood up and hugged Yiyang, the reporters couldn't help but feel the wonder of fate. Half a year ago, who would have thought that Yiyang, a newcomer, would be selected before Hayward, who is known as the "strongest white small forward"?

At the same time, some photographers also focused their lenses on Bulldogs coach Brad. Stevens. Only four of the top 10 picks in this year's draft are from the same school. Wall and Cousins of Kentucky are one of them. The other group of people is Hayward and Yiyang from Butler!

The strength of this young marshal has been recognized by the whole United States. People are even fantasizing that maybe in the future, the three masters and apprentices will all be able to get together on the NBA stage?

In the subsequent draft meeting, Yiyang and they didn't care much anymore. Although the process of Yiyang's selection was full of twists and turns, Yiyang and Hayward were both selected in the top ten. It's a good result for everyone.

Yiyang and they are cheering here for temporary stability, but some reporters don't think so.

"The Dallasians must be crazy!" This is what many reporters on the ground say about the deal made by Cuban. They had no idea what Kuban was doing this for.

Caron. Although Butler is not as good as he used to be, he still has good quality and is one of the guarantees that the Mavericks can win.

And now, Cuban has sent away Butler and next year's first-round pick, plus Novak as an addition, in exchange for a rookie with only one year of NCAA experience!

Cuban is indeed betting that if Yiyang succeeds, then he and the calf will both succeed. If Yiyang fails, then both Cuban and Mavericks will lose as a result. Kuban is now willing to believe that Chinese, just like back then, how many people would believe that smelly German boy?

After four hours of two rounds of drafts, the NBA2010 draft has finally come to an end. As is customary, the rookies who are selected in the lottery area have to get together with David. Stern posing for a photo.

Yiyang, as a third-overall rookie, directly crossed Turner, stood shoulder to shoulder with Wall, and stood behind Stern in the middle. If you don't consider the team-building plan of each team and simply look at the NCAA performance last season, Yiyang does qualify for this position.

Mougins held up his camera and snapped a family photo of this year's lottery rookie. Looking at Yiyang, who entered the alliance at the same time as Wall, Mougins suddenly thought of a title for this photo.

"The New Point Guard Era! 》”

Two young men, perhaps the best defenders in the league of the future, have officially embarked on their journey to create legends!

As of now, the draft is over! Mougins looked at the quilted by Bill. Duffy's Yiyang, who took away from the arena, was full of infinite expectations.

In professional basketball, the poor kid from Wood will definitely continue to give his jaw-dropping performances!

The night is already deep, but the future is brighter.

※※※

Even Bill. Duffy, an experienced and well-known manager, didn't expect that after the draft, he would actually lead Yiyang to the guy Cuban.

When Yiyang and Duffy walked into the luxurious box where Cuban was, the somewhat chubby team owner once again showed his smile as warm as the Texas sun.

"I didn't expect that, Mr. Duffy. As I said, we are quite sincere. For the sake of Yi, I am willing to pay the price! Welcome to join Mavericks, I believe you will enjoy it here. Cuban looked at Yiyang, but from the young man's facial paralysis expression, he couldn't tell whether Yiyang was happy or disappointed.

In fact, Yiyang is still happier in his heart, being able to play next to Kidd and Nowitzki is like a dream! But when it comes to Kidd, it's also a big trouble for Yiyang......

"You know, Mr. Mark, my client is going to undoubtedly grow into one of the best point guards in the NBA. But it all has to be based on the fact that he has enough playing time. "Bill. As soon as Duffy said this, Kuban instantly understood what Duffy meant.

"Jason is almost 38 years old, 38 years old! Do you think we're going to make a veteran who is almost 40 years old fight for twenty or thirty minutes every game? Don't worry, Mr. Duffy, Dallas is not Detroit. I promise, Daktronics. Milicic's tragedy will not be repeated. We didn't let him sit on the cold bench when we traded. If so, I wouldn't have paid that much at all. On the contrary, playing next to Jason, I believe that Yi's progress will be faster! Kuban's rhetoric reassured both Yiyang and Duffy a little. As long as there are enough opportunities to perform, Duffy is not worried that Yiyang will not be able to play.

"So ......"

"We'll talk about the contract next week. But Yi's training has to start after signing the contract! You know, it's going to take a while for him to get used to NBA-level training, NBA-level games. Cuban said, placing his hand on Yiyang's shoulder. I hope this shoulder can carry the future of Dallas.

A week later, Bill. Duffy took Yiyang and his mother, Wen Xue, on a second visit to Texas.

In the Mavericks' general manager's office, Yiyang signed his name on the contract the Mavericks offered him. From that moment on, Yiyang, he really became a professional player!

Under Duffy's lobbying, the Mavericks offered Yiyang a 2+1+1 standard rookie contract, and Yiyang's salary in the first year was as high as $4.8 million, and the increase every year after that was also very huge. In Bill. Under Duffy's negotiations. Yiyang's salary level is not much worse than that of Wall!

When it comes to money, the Kuban has always been very generous. As long as you can win, you can make Cuban spend as much as you want. What's more, Yiyang's manager is still the famous Bill. What about Duffy?

When Yiyang signed his name, the boy, who was still a little young, hugged his mother and manager warmly.

Now he is a real millionaire! The dream of escaping from the Wood District, Yiyang has turned it into a reality!

But now Yiyang will no longer be satisfied with this. Now that they've broken into the NBA, how can they not leave their footprints on the basketball court?

The NBA is a commercial league with a lot of players coming and going every year. When a rookie player enters the NBA, it doesn't mean that he has embarked on a path to the pinnacle of life. The average NBA player's career is only 3 to 4 years, which is about the length of a rookie contract.

If you perform well in these years, a good salary contract will be offered on both hands. And if you can't play well, you can only leave this world full of money, news, miracles and all eyes on you with your bag.

The business society is cold, which Yiyang has deeply experienced when he was in Wood District. The boy knew that his efforts could not stop there.

At this time, the sky outside the Kuban office is the same as the main color of the Mavericks, blue and beautiful.

Dallas, wait and see the show!
