The San Antonio Spurs finally returned to the Finals after six years. McGrady finally got a chance to capture a championship ring. But at this time, not many Chinese fans will be happy that Maddie has finally reached the finals. Chinese fans already have their own outside hero, and at this time, they are all sad because of Yiyang's exit.

Actually, there's nothing to be sad about. The Mavericks' season is not a failure, and this season can be described as a success. He became Derek. The second-youngest regular season MVP after Rose and the first Chinese player in NBA history to win this honor. He signed a 100 million yuan contract with Adidas, and I believe that the Mavericks will definitely offer a lot of money this summer. Yiyang has become an icon, an icon of Chinese basketball, a symbol of Dallas, and even a symbol of the entire league. He was brought to and LeBron. James, Kobe. Bryant, Kevin. Comparison of superstars such as Durant. And we have to know that this is only the third year of his career! So as to whether he failed this season, I don't think he failed, but he succeeded. This is very likely to be the beginning of the peak period. ”

The day after the Mavericks were eliminated, ESPN's lead commentator Mike Murphy was eliminated. Brin published his article on the official NBA website. "Dallas Mavericks, the winner out of the game", the title has already pointed out the content of the article. Although the Mavericks lost 2-4 to the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals, the legendary season of the Mavericks and Yiyang is not something that can be said in a few words.

Mike. Brin's article has been recognized and praised by many NBA celebrities, including Kobe Bryant, who is recovering from injuries at home. The most striking thing was what Popovich said to reporters in an interview the day after the game.

"After yesterday's game, we saw you talking to him in front of him. So, Mr. Popovich, could you tell us a little bit about what you two were talking about? "The reporters know that Popovich is in a good mood after reaching the finals, and now that they come to interview him, they should not be fooled by this old man's jokes.

"Is it convenient to reveal? Inconvenience. After Popovich finished speaking, he looked at the reporters' deflated expressions and felt a secret refreshment.

"Actually, it's nothing, do you think I'm going to be like Tim, fooling people into saying that the future is yours?" Speaking of this, the reporters couldn't help but smile. Popovich teased his own teammates, but he never showed mercy.

"I just told him that there's nothing to be afraid of failing. A great player, a very good player. He put me and my team in a hard fight, not for me to brag about myself, but if a person doesn't have a few pounds and a few taels, it is impossible for him to force us so badly. If you're going to say there's a downside to this series, it's that he shouldn't have hit that damn killer shot in Game 5, so we'd have two more days off. ”

While Popovich's answer was still not serious, when he used the word "excellent" to describe a player, it meant that the player had made a very strong impression on the fastidious old man.

Mike. Brin's article was not only endorsed by stars and coaches, but also confirmed by NBA officials.

A day after the article was published, the NBA officially announced the list of this year's NBA All-Defensive Team.

As soon as this list was announced, it immediately caused an uproar in the outside world. Because this year, it's not five players who have been selected for the best defensive team, but six! Thanks to Tyson. Chandler and Chris. Paul is tied on points, and according to league rules, when the scores are tied, the All-NBA spot will be added.

As for why Paul, who has always been excellent in defense, is in the same position this year, it is not because of anything else, it is precisely because many people voted for Yiyang with their precious votes!

Tony. Aaron, Sergi. Ibaka, LeBron. James, Yiyang, Chris. Paul and Tyson. Chandler, these six players, make up the NBA's Defensive First Team of the Year. Gasol Jr., who won the Defensive Player of the Year, was very unexpectedly not included in this lineup. This shows how fierce the competition is for this year's best defensive team.

Yiyang is undoubtedly the most special existence among the six, he is the only yellow person on this list, and he is also the youngest player. Back then, even a super center as strong as Yao Ming never had any connection with the NBA's All-Defensive Team. And Yiyang, in the third year of his career, with a height of 1.93 meters and a not very strong body, was directly selected for the best defensive team!

"Don't compare me to him anymore, I'm embarrassed." When Yao Ming was interviewed by reporters, he waved his hand embarrassedly and said.

Seeing that he was selected for the best defensive team and that he was unanimously recognized by people inside and outside the industry, Yiyang's mood of being ruined because he was eliminated from the competition finally improved.

And on the afternoon after Yiyang was selected for the best defensive team, Adidas couldn't wait to announce that they would officially start working with Yiyang on his first generation of signed combat boots! For the first time in the history of Adidas, we have launched a sneaker product in cooperation with Chinese athletes, and it is expected that the new season will be presented to the world!

Although he lost the series, Yiyang also had to admit that in addition to the game, it has been a lot of good things recently.

The technicians of Adidas Company came to the door of Yiyang's house in person that afternoon. Duffy is coming, but the ace manager is busy at this point because of Jennings' summer transfer issues. So, Duffy instructed Yiyang on the phone.

"It's not a business negotiation, there's nothing to worry about. You just tell those guys what kind of sneakers you want to wear, and the whole team behind Adidas will work hard for what you say you want. So, you just have to say what you ask for and that's it. I was not there, and you were able to have a very pleasant conversation with them. ”

Duffy said so, what else does Yiyang have to hesitate about? Before the arrival of Adidas' team, Vignari helped Yiyang think of a lot of cool sneaker looks. However, Vignarie, an avid AJ sneaker enthusiast, designed a look with some AJ shadows. Adidas, as a competitor to Nike and AJ, may have a hard time adopting the Italian girl's design.

Yiyang also discussed with Stevens, Carlisle, Nowitzki and others about the most important things in sneakers besides appearance - functionality, what is the higher upper, better anti-slip effect, etc. Carlisle, a professional guy, even talked to Yiyang about the materials used to make sneakers, what is Boost cushioning technology, Primeknit woven material...... Although Yiyang is a professional player, those words that are tongue-twisting are still stunned when he hears Yiyang.

After discussing with his relatives and friends, Yiyang returned home early in the afternoon, and waited for the first visit of Adidas' sneaker technicians with the results of the discussion in his mind.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, two Adidas staff members in suits and leather shoes rang the doorbell at the gate of Yiyang's house. As always, Wenxue prepared snacks and hot coffee for the guests. Yiyang's house is a place where almost everyone is very willing to come, because here, you can always feel the warmth of family.

"Congratulations to you, Mr. Yi, I will say that the best defensive team must be indispensable for talents like you!"

Adidas' technicians are very enthusiastic, but they are also young...... It's not that this guy hates others, but if he also goes to say some pleasantries, then he won't be Yiyang.

After Yiyang shook hands with the technicians, he led the family into the door without saying a word. It was Wen Xue who warmly invited the other party to sit down, so that the atmosphere was not so awkward.

"The purpose of our coming today doesn't need to be repeated with Mr. Yi, right?" Adidas' technicians knew that Yiyang's character was like this, so they didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the point.

"Well, I don't know much about sneaker design." Yiyang also got straight to the point.

"It doesn't matter, you're in charge of playing on the field, you're professional. And the sneaker design thing, it's all left to us, and we are professional in this area! The Adidas technicians patted their chests, for such a big company, it would be easy to create a signature shoe for a star.

"Speaking of requests...... Yiyang began to think back to the results of his discussions with the others earlier today. What midsole and what material...... Yiyang can't remember those terms. A look that looks like AJ? Yiyang felt that asking Adidas to do this was a bit excessive. And what is the sole texture, what is the high top and what is the low top......

Yiyang can handle the team's offense in an orderly manner on the court, but this kind of messy thing has to be relayed in his head, which is as difficult as letting him go to the midcourt to shoot three-pointers and ensure the shooting rate.

After thinking for a long time, Yiyang looked at the technician in front of him. The technician quickly took out the tablet and prepared to jot down Yiyang's various needs.

"Fast, light."

"Well, fast, light." The technician wrote down these two words and waited for Yiyang's next instruction. But after waiting for more than ten seconds, Yiyang still didn't make a sound.

The technician took his eyes off the tablet and stared at Yiyang. "It's okay Mr. Yi, you can say it, I remember to come over."

The technician smiled, he thought Yiyang was waiting for him to write it.

"I'm done." Yiyang replied with a serious face.

"Huh?" The technician was stunned.

"That's what I'm asking for, if I can mention it...... Try to make these shoes look as good as possible, preferably in more colors. Yiyang scratched his head embarrassedly, as if he had already made a lot of requests.

Wen Xue, who was sitting on the side and heard the conversation between the two, couldn't help but smile slightly, this stupid boy really hasn't changed at all......
