Chapter 542: California Trash King
defeated the Nuggets, won four in a row, and nearly a month into the new season, the Mavericks are still going smoothly. They have only lost one game so far. Compared to last season, when everyone was still looking forward to Dirk's return, this year, the Mavericks' prospects are undoubtedly much brighter.
After Yiyang defeated Howard twice in a row and helped Iguodala complete his revenge on the Denver Nuggets, the media needed a whole new topic to fully squeeze Yiyang's commercial value.
No way, as a superstar, the league needs you to create buzz and news all the time. And in recent days, the most discussed by the media is undoubtedly the showdown between Yiyang and Curry!
"Stephen. Curry, who entered the league a year earlier, didn't really catch up in the league until last season. Ever since the Warriors sent Monta away. After Ellis, Stephen. Curry became the team's number one star. As it turned out, the Warriors made the right choice. This seemingly thin guard is full of spirit on the basketball court. Most specially, he is a guard who can use the three-point shot as a conventional weapon. Curry shot an incredible 45.3 percent from three-point range last season, and even in the game, I couldn't shoot that much with a single player. As a rising star, Stephen, who was an instant hit at Davidson College, will be able to play a game that will make him famous when he faces it? I'm really looking forward to this matchup between young defenders, it's going to be a Mars vs. Earth show. ”
"And Stephen proved that size and size don't stop you from succeeding in the league. Neither of these emaciated guards is physically tough, but they are both very smart and know how to play to their strengths and avoid weaknesses effectively. In tomorrow's game, the two defenders will definitely be able to give us a good brainstorm! ”
"The Golden State Warriors are definitely one of the most promising teams in the league since the Oklahoma City Thunder. Although they were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs last season, that group of youngsters showed unusual strength. The Warriors' style of play is very original. Coach Jackson tried to dominate the game with a jumper from beyond the three-point line. If it had been a few years ago, this idea would have made people laugh out of their big teeth. But let's be honest, the Warriors are doing well, and they're climbing one step at a time. Perhaps, the three-point shot, which others see as just the icing on the cake, can really dominate the game of basketball? ”
The day before the start of the race, countless media and magazines rushed to publish articles to warm up for the game. Yiyang and Curry's personal matchup has attracted much attention. Jackson's innovation and Carlisle's old-fashioned mindset have also left fans eager to see what is better and which is worse.
It seems that it is not only Yiyang who has drawn a red circle for this match, but fans all over the world know that it will be a good show.
The Warriors' current record isn't great, with a 9-6 record leaving them on the edge of eighth place in the West. But Mark. Jackson believes the ranking won't follow the Warriors for an entire season. As the team's run-in gets better and better, the tactics become more mature, and the Warriors' results will definitely improve.
And for the Dallas Mavericks, what Yiyang has to do is to avoid capsizing in the gutter. Four consecutive wins are not easy to come by, and a 12-1 record is also very rare. As the No. 1 team in the league, Yiyang doesn't want to be dragged down by a team that is outside the top eight in the West.
In this way, the Warriors' away game against the Mavericks on November 25 was selected by ESPN as the national live broadcast game. Although the disparity between the two teams in the standings is relatively large, it can't hide a lot of excitement in this game.
The day before the start of the competition, Yiyang was invited by Adidas to attend a business event. Although Yiyang was tempted to refuse, Duffy told him that the business would only take up to an hour before Yiyang reluctantly agreed.
Actually, the content of this business activity is very simple. Yiyang only needs to wear Adidas equipment to play in a small stadium sponsored by Adidas, take pictures of reporters and fans, and that's it, not even speaking.
Yiyang was holding a basketball and practicing by himself in the basketball hall, while the fans and staff around him picked up their mobile phones one by one to take pictures frantically. Boost popularity, that's what Adidas wants to achieve. Even if Chong Yiyang used to train here, the business of this stadium will definitely be good in the future.
"Hey, did you see that? Now the one who is shooting on the field behind me is Yiyang! Look, do you see his clumsy skills? Seriously, I don't think he would be afraid to take on my challenge! Because, it will ruin his reputation! ”
Next to Yiyang, a black man is holding a mobile phone to take pictures of Yiyang's training. Yiyang didn't care about this at all, because almost everyone in the entire stadium was filming themselves with their mobile phones. What he didn't know, however, was that the man was streaming live on Twitter, and that the audience was already on the verge of breaking a million. To be able to drive such a high level of traffic, it must not be an ordinary person.
As he spoke, the black man in a professional basketball gear approached Yiyang. Of course, he was stopped in time by a black-clad security guard on the sidelines.
"I'm sorry sir, you can't set foot on the pitch without a membership card. If you want to shoot, go to the side. ”
If you want to share the stage with a superstar, it's naturally not so easy.
"I don't have a membership card, but you'll have to let me in, I've got an appointment with that guy." The black man pointed at Yiyang, looking confident.
"Everybody here says he has a date, and I have a date. However, without a membership card, I think you can only make another appointment. The security guard replied angrily that sometimes fanatical fans are really difficult.
"Haha, you're such a humorous man. Hey, do you know who I am? The black man smiled contemptuously and took off his sunglasses.
"I'm afraid I don't know you, sir...... No, wait......" The security guard took a closer look and found that this guy was really familiar.
"Look, you know me, and you know what I'm here for. Now, let me have a word with that guy. If he had the guts, he would naturally let me in. Hey! Also, your old friend is coming for you! Ignoring the dissuasion, the black man shouted directly at Yiyang in the arena.
"You can't do that!" The security guards rushed to stop him, but Yiyang was already attracted by the shouting.
"Come on here, and tell this ignorant guy that your old friend has the right to enter!"
Yiyang walked towards the black man curiously, and at the same time, he also attracted the attention of everyone present.
When Yiyang approached the black man, he found that he didn't know this guy at all, and it was impossible for him to be an old friend. It seems that it is another prank by the fans. Just as Yiyang was about to turn around and leave, the black man reported his name.
"Alfred. Claire, the guy who lives in the Batcave, how's that? Remember me? ”
Hearing this, Yiyang stopped his steps and turned around again. It turned out that the black man in front of him was the street ball player Alfred who was the number one "black in California" who provoked him on Twitter, known as the king of New California. Claire.
Yiyang looked the guy up and down, and it did look like something was going on. At the same time, the official head of Adidas at this business event also came up and asked about the situation.
"Don't worry about Mr. Yi, I'll invite him out now!" The person in charge said, waving his hand to call for more security guards.
"No, let him in."
"Huh!?" Yiyang's reply made the person in charge's eyes widen.
"It's not easy for Mr. Alfred to travel all the way from Los Angeles, and since he wants to lose so much, let him lose completely." Yiyang smiled, anyway, this business activity is boring, and it's not bad to have fun for yourself.
Alfred triumphantly shook off the security guard's hand and stepped onto the court. Suddenly, everyone on the sidelines pointed their mobile phones at them. This video will definitely go viral on the Internet!
When Alfred stepped onto the court, he was surprised to find that Yiyang, who was watching the extremely thin on TV, was actually stronger than himself by more than one lap! In front of Yiyang, he is the real little arm and leg.
Alfred couldn't help but swallow his saliva, Yiyang's body, on the street court, was definitely a tank-type defender. But he struggled to keep himself calm and not lose his temper.
"How do you want to fight? Shall I let you have five balls first? Yiyang said, throwing the basketball to Alfred.
"Come on, just follow the rules of the streets. But we only hit ten, how? Alfred swallowed, he started to get nervous.
"Ten? Isn't this battle too short? ”
Alfred puffed up, he, the king of the new California, had never been humiliated like this. So when Yiyang didn't put up a defensive posture at all, he suddenly started and went straight to the basket!
One step past Yiyang, Alfred was already thinking about what action to dunk. can complete a dunk on Yiyang's head, which is enough for him to blow for the rest of his life!
However, Alfred had just started jumping when the basketball was covered from behind by Yiyang. The onlookers around them burst into laughter, because Yiyang didn't even jump when he finished the block.
Yiyang dribbled beyond the three-point line, and it looked like this guy was very serious even against a street player. No way, this is Yiyang's personality.
Yiyang made a couple of triple moves from beyond the three-point line, and Alfred pressed as close as he could. But in the end, Yiyang didn't even take a step, and directly hit Alfred's dry jump shot.
Alfred looked back in despair, and the basketball was hollowed into the net as accurately as if it had been fitted with a remote control.
Yiyang spread his hands and shrugged his shoulders, and the fans around him applauded.
"Come again!" Alfred angrily passed the ball back to Yiyang, although he is a street ball player, he can make a name for himself in the street ball league in the United States, and he is actually a semi-professional player.
Doesn't the Chinese national team often look for some American star team to play warm-up games? Players like Alfred are also the kind of people that pheasant teams like to invite. As it turns out, these guys do have what it takes to compete with the pros. But NBA-level professional players and Chinese national team-level professional players are also two completely different concepts.
Yiyang is also human, and Alfred still doesn't believe that he can't even defend against a ball. However, Yiyang's second goal was still easy.
Yiyang, who was originally dribbling in place, suddenly accelerated, and didn't even do anything to change direction, just a sudden acceleration. Alfred only felt a gust of wind hang over his ears, and then Yiyang "disappeared into thin air".
He turned his head in confusion, only to see that Yiyang had already jumped high and completed a well-won tomahawk dunk.
Yiyang still didn't speak, but picked up the basketball and signaled the game to continue. It seems that he is not going to save face for this arrogant streetball player.
In the subsequent game, Yiyang was completely abusing vegetables in a different way. He even humiliated Alfred with streetball moves such as smashing boards and crotch passes, aren't you a streetball player? I'll be the ones you will, and so will I.
When the score became 8-0, Alfred could not hold his face. As a result, people saw an even more ridiculous scene.
After Yiyang burst into the forbidden area, Alfred hugged Yiyang and hung on Yiyang. As long as he can prevent Yiyang from scoring, Alfred doesn't care about the way at all now.
was hung by Alfred, and Yiyang naturally couldn't jump. But he was able to score with a slight hook of the basketball in this situation.
At this point, Alfred was completely dead. When you play against a guy with a huge gap in strength with you, all your efforts are in vain.
In recent years, with the continuous growth of commercialization, it is not new for NBA stars to go head-to-head with ordinary people in business activities. But it's the first time in history that a whole person like Alfred can't be prevented from hanging on others.
In the last ball, Alfred was broken through and went directly to Yiyang's back. But as always, Yiyang picked it lightly, and the basketball hit again.
10 to 0, Yiyang ended the battle in one minute and twenty seconds. The crowd around them laughed and posted the video of the game to their own Twitter. I believe that in a few minutes, Alfred's funny appearance will become the laughing stock of people all over the United States.
Alfred slithered out of the court, his head hung low, hoping to find a hole to get into. After today, Alfred is at least one thing certain.
Don't do it again, you'd better never tweet those bad things about Yiyang again. In the past, he sent those things to humiliate Yiyang. And if he sends those things after today, it will be himself who will be humiliated.
When the "old butler" returned to the bat cave, Yiyang shook his head in disappointment, he thought that the guy who was known as the king of New California could be stronger, but in the end, even Moodier, who was still in high school, was not as good. King of New California? The California Trash King is pretty much the same.
I really want to have fun, it seems that I have to wait until tomorrow to meet Stephen. Curry before that.
Alfred has undoubtedly disappointed Yiyang, but he believes that tomorrow's Golden State Warriors and Stephen Brown. Curry, for sure, can give him enough fun.
Is Davidson College a genius? I'm really looking forward to it.
