$28 million for two years, which is almost the largest price that Cuban can offer. He had to leave some leeway and not spend all the money he had left on Wade. Because once the salary space is locked, it will be very detrimental to the team's operation.

Although the price of 28 million for two years is still not high for a player like Wade, it is at least more expensive than Pat. Riley's damn 16.5 million is more sincere.

"I feel your sincerity, Mr. Mark. But I also have to be honest, Dallas wasn't in my plans. After listening to Kuban's offer, Wade spread his hands. Honesty is the most basic respect.

"I know your feelings for Miami, but Pat. I've heard about Riley, too. I'll be blunt, he doesn't respect you. And in Dallas, you'll not only get respect, but also honor. After Kuban finished speaking, he looked at Yiyang.

"yes, think about what we can do together, Dwayne. We may ...... I don't mean to offend, but if we join forces, we may be able to do better than the Heat of the Big Three era! Yiyang was excited, he had never been so desperate to have a player join the Mavericks as a group.

Yiyang doesn't care what Riley thinks of Wade, but the guy sitting opposite is still one of the greatest stars in the world! At least in Yiyang's eyes, Wade is still a big killer!

"I really want to work with you, too." Wade bared a mouth full of white teeth.

I don't know why, Yiyang always finds Wade's smile very attractive.

"But, I'd rather work with you on the Heat, hahahahaha." Heat, Heat, even though he has been humiliated by Riley, Wade is still full of Heat.

Is this how it feels to be a person, a city?

"Anyway, we still hope you'll give serious consideration to this offer, Dwayne. We are the defending champions and we need all the capable warriors to join. As the championship parade said, we're just getting on the road! ”

"Of course, of course I would have thought about it, otherwise I wouldn't have made it myself. Thank you for your trust and hospitality, and I will get back to you when the time is right. With that, Wade stood up, looking like he was about to leave.

"We expect you to make the right decision, Dwayne." Cuban was the first to shake Wade's handshake, followed by Yiyang.

In the end, Kuban delivered Wade to the door of the parking lot. Yiyang, on the other hand, stayed with him until he delivered Wade to his car.

"Seriously, do you think I'm going to defect? Do you think I'm going to join a team that just beat me in the finals? The two also chatted without saying a word along the way.

"I don't know, Dwayne. But I don't think that's called defection. You're a great player, you have to make some great decisions to create something greater. When LeBron and Chris joined the Heat, did you think they were enemies? What's more, you're still moving from the East to the West, which is the only way you can meet the Heat as few times as possible. ”

Wade didn't speak, and Yiyang said it reasonably. If that's the case, then Wade only has to play two games a season against his old club. Unless, the Heat can still reach the Finals. But let's be honest, the odds are slim to none.

Walking to the car, Wade stopped and came face to face with Yiyang. "Alright, you can go back quickly. But I have to say, don't expect too much from this. ”

"Either way, we're all friends. By the way," Yiyang said, reaching into the inner pocket of his suit, pulling out the beautiful red envelope and handing it to Wade.

"Vignali and I will be married in Venice on September 19th, and if you have time, I hope you can come and attend."

Wade looked at the envelope and then at Yiyang, the look of surprise on his face that could not be concealed. "You're getting married!?"

"I'm 24 too, Dwayne. Do you think you're the only one who will get old? ”

Wade accepted the invitation, smiled and shook his head. Time, I really can't catch it. At the beginning, it was also known as "Dwayne. The little ghost head is now at the age of talking about marriage.

"Don't worry, I'll be there!" Wade didn't even look at his schedule before he agreed.

"Thank you very much, it's a great honor for you to come!"

"Hahahaha, don't say that, I'm starting to be embarrassed!"

Then, the two said goodbye, Wade got into the car and was about to leave, but just as the car started, Yiyang stopped the man who was deep in thought.

"What's the matter?" Wade rolled the window and poked his head out.

"I really, really want to create something with you, Dwayne."

Yiyang's sincere expression touched a certain string in Wade's heart. In this utilitarian alliance, sincerity is very rare. But he was in Dallas and discovered this rare thing.

"Well, I'll seriously consider it. Now, you should go home and spend time with your fiancée. Wade ended the meeting with a charming smile.

After the car disappeared from the parking lot, Yiyang still didn't move away.

Wearing the Mavericks' home white jersey, No. 1 stepped into the box and he drew the defense of three opposing players. Eventually, the guy threw the ball high into the air. But it's not a layup, it's a pass.

Then, a No. 3 in a Mavericks jersey sprang out and clicked the basketball in the air into the frame.

No. 3 lands and high-fives No. 1. After that, the two men returned to defend at the same time, preparing for the next round of battle.

Yiyang smiled, such a picture is really too beautiful, too beautiful......

Wade's affair is just a small episode in this hectic holiday. Yiyang is still preparing for the wedding with Vignarie, after all, this is a once-in-a-lifetime thing, and you can't be sloppy.

For the sake of the wedding, the Chinese Basketball Association even hereby approved that Yiyang can meet with the national team only a week before the start of the World Championships. But even then, they are very, very short on time.

It wasn't until July 23 that Yiyang and Vignari finally finalized the wedding dress to wear on their wedding day.

In Barcelona, Spain, when Vignari appeared in front of Yiyang in that sky-blue wedding dress of Pronoves, Yiyang couldn't even look directly at the woman's beauty.

Compared with the cookie-cutter white wedding dress, this blue one looks just eye-catching. It also goes well with the Venetian tones.

"Also, is it pretty?" Vignari spun around twice in front of Yiyang, and the reason why Yiyang didn't answer for a long time was because he was stunned.

The wide, low-waisted skirt made from layers of tulle hugs the hip line and connects to a sheer bodice with appliqués, while the collar and long sleeves are embellished with floral motifs, perfect for a discerning bride.

"I think Mr. Yi should have been so amazed by you that he couldn't speak." The clerk made a joke, but this was a true portrayal of Yiyang's heart at this time.

In the end, the two finalized this beautiful and unique wedding dress. Of course, $250,000 is just as expensive. The Spanish royal brand's wedding dress was even loved by the Queen ****** of England, which shows how meticulously it works.

In addition, Pronovis's high-end wedding dresses are all hand-sewn, and Yiyang and Vignari are in a hurry, so the labor cost will be more expensive.

However, for the wedding, Yiyang, who has always been thrifty, did not feel heartache at all when he spent the $250,000.

After all, compared to the diamond ring worth $1 million and weighing 8.5 carats that Yiyang had secretly prepared, $250,000 was really nothing......

It wasn't until mid-August that Yiyang and Vignari finally got everything they needed for their wedding. Now, what Yiyang has to do is to finish the World Championships with peace of mind, and then come back and take the beauty home.

When bidding farewell to Yiyang at the airport, Vignarie was very reluctant. The young man and woman are not married yet, but they are inseparable from each other......

Speaking of the World Championships, no, it should be called the Men's Basketball World Cup now. Originally, China was very enthusiastic in applying to become the organizer, but was defeated by Spain. Eventually, Spain became the venue for FIBA's first Men's Basketball World Cup.

According to the agreement, Yiyang met with the team on time a week before the start of the World Championships. And when he entered the training camp, Yiyang was stunned.

In addition to Yi Jianlian and Liu Wei, the entire national team Yiyang can no longer find a third person he knows. Watching a group of players with the same black hair and yellow skin as himself sweating on the court, Yiyang felt a sense of strangeness.

Chinese basketball has recently begun to replace the old with the new, and young people such as Guo Allen, Zhou Qi, Wang Zhelin and Ding Yanyuhang have begun to serve as the face of the national brand. The position of head coach is held by Gong Luming, a "firefighter".

The arrival of Yiyang made the young people in the national team very excited. After all, they've never seen the power of the NBA's MVP!

As a result, on the first day of the team's training, Yiyang "scared the children of the Chinese team". Even Yi Jianlian, the strongest in the team, could not resist the impact of Yiyang. The Chinese defenders can't even dribble over half the court under Yiyang's defense!

Guo Allen is the most daring of all, and he is the only player who dares to play tricks in front of Yiyang. Yiyang admired Guo Allen's courage, but also unceremoniously completed three steals on Guo Allen's head.

Looking at Yiyang on the training ground, Gong Luming couldn't help but shake his head. Even though this guy Yiyang is already so strong, he is still a player who trains until the latest every day. His strength is not at the same level as the players of the other Chinese team, so there is really no need to practice together.

The Chinese team's system Yiyang wants to integrate into it, and it is effortless at all!

At the end of August, the World Cup officially began. China, the Asian champions, are in the same group as Brazil, France and Spain. I have to say, this is really a group of death. The Chinese team will have to win against Egypt and Serbia, two less strong teams, to have any hope of qualifying. However, their "not so strong" is only relative to Brazil, France and Spain.

In the first game against France, the Chinese team was deflated when it opened. Gobert has gone through the playoffs and is already very different from last year. On the international stage, he is simply an insurmountable mountain.

Of course, Yiyang, as Gobert's "boss", still scored 28 points on that kid's head. It's just that the huge gap between the young people of the Chinese team and the top level has made China have to swallow the defeat.

"I beat your team, hahaha!" After the game, Gobert showed off in front of Yiyang.

"I'll get revenge on you at this pre-season camp, Rudy!" Yiyang put down the cruel words.

In fact, Gobert is definitely the most exciting point in this World Cup.

In the second game of the World Cup, France played against Spain, and Gobert was at a loss to defend the two Gasol brothers!

His shone performance at the World Cup is enough to prove the huge progress of this guy! You know, even if the two Gasol brothers are placed in the NBA, they are also top insiders!

Yiyang is already starting to look forward to Gobert's more and more wonderful performance.

In the end, as expected. Brazil, Spain and France, the top three, the Chinese team has not played. In the game against Spain, Yiyang even scored 38 points in 32 minutes! 38 points, which is also the highest scoring record in the history of the Men's Basketball World Cup!

However, the Chinese team still lost. Even Yi Jianlian couldn't cope with the game, and others were even more at a loss.

Yiyang now understands that what the Chinese team wants in this competition is not a result at all, but to let himself take the young people to see the big scene.

Yiyang is also very helpless, there are a few people in this group of little guys who do have great potential, but now, they simply don't have the ability to survive in high-level competitions.

In the end, China narrowly defeated Egypt and Serbia to barely qualify from the group and reach the round of 16.

Even the American media reported that without Yiyang, the NBA's triple most valuable player, the Chinese team would not have won a single game in the World Cup.

However, the Chinese team's journey this year has stopped there. In the first game of the knockout round, the Chinese team met Greece, the first in Group B, as the fourth in Group A.

Antetokounmpo "The Greek Monster" was the player Cuban had been dreaming about last year, but unfortunately he was picked by the Bucks early. Although in Yiyang's opinion, the technology of "Brother Alphabet" is very rough, but in the face of China, he simply comes and goes freely.

The height of the big forward, the terrifying arm span and the flexibility of the small forward, the Chinese team has no way to take him. His impact again and again made it difficult for Yi Jianlian to parry, let alone Zhou Qi and Wang Zhelin. In the end, Greece defeated China by 5 points and advanced to the quarterfinals. And Yiyang's 32 points in a single game made China lose less humiliating.

In this way, the Chinese team's World Cup journey ended early. Even so, Yiyang still has countless fans in China. After all, during the World Cup, he really did his best. It's just that his brilliant passes, most of the time, can't be converted into a score. This is no wonder Yiyang.

To Yiyang's surprise, France and Spain met again in the quarterfinals. Gobert, on the other hand, once again deflated the Spanish Twin Towers. He made five blocks in a single game, nailing the two Gasol brothers to the shame post. It seems that last year missed "Brother Alphabet", and the Maverick didn't get nothing.

Looking at the momentum of the French team, Yiyang was still a little worried that Gobert's kid wouldn't have time to attend his wedding.

In this way, Yiyang's "warm-up" World Cup journey came to an end. Yiyang didn't gain anything in this World Cup, and he didn't even find the goal to fight for. This kind of thing is not very reluctant.

But it's all about staying in shape. After all, in order to prepare for the wedding this summer, Yiyang's training volume is completely incomparable with previous years.

On the day he said goodbye to the national team, to be honest, Yiyang was very excited and excited. It's not that the Chinese team has anything bad for him, but after going back this time......

After going back this time, this Asian boy in Wood will grow up to be a man and start a family of his own......
