On January 2, 2012, the day after Cuban and Nelson Jr. signed a contract with Yi Jianlian, the news about Yi Jianlian joining the Mavericks quickly took over the basketball circle.

Although Yi Jianlian is not a big name player, his special skin color and the Mavericks' move to recruit two Chinese players at the same time for the first time still attract too much attention.

Especially in China, the news of Yi Jianlian's return to the NBA and a team with Yiyang exploded among fans. Countless Chinese tourists flocked to Dallas just to be able to see Yiyang and Yi Jian join forces on the same stage during the live competition.

Two Chinese players play on the same NBA team, something that has never happened before. No one knows how much of a storm these two Chinese can make in the NBA.

During the Asian Championships, the perfect cooperation between Yi Jianlian and Yiyang made everyone full of infinite reverie about the teaming up between the two in the NBA. Although the Mavericks have officially announced that Yi Jianlian will play a few games in the Development League now, this still can't reduce the heat of this matter.

After knowing that Yi Jianlian had confirmed to join the Mavericks, Yiyang also took the initiative to call Yi Jianlian, hoping that he could come to the house for a meal. Although Yiyang and Yi Jianlian are not friends for the time being, he still understands the basics of how to behave in the world. And it is rare to have a compatriot to accompany him in a distant country, and Yiyang is naturally very enthusiastic.

It's a pity that Yi Jianlian quickly left Dallas after signing with the team. Because today, he will play an away game with the Mavericks' Development League team against Houston.

Although it is a pity, it is a matter of time before Yiyang and Yi Jianlian meet. At this time, almost all Mavericks players expect Yi Jianlian to play in the development league and then return quickly to solve the team's employment crisis at the No. 4 position.

But Odom obviously doesn't think so, if Yi Jianlian still plays well, he will be completely marginalized, and he can only watch the court at the end of the bench every day. Odom didn't want to fall to this point, let alone lose to a Chinese!

"Did you see the news? Cuban: He signed a player in the same position as you. "At Odom's house, Kohler. Kardashian was holding a newspaper dangling in front of Odom. The headline on the front page of this newspaper is the news that Yi Jianlian has officially joined the Mavericks.

"It's okay baby, I assure you, he can't shake my standing on the team." Odom grabbed Kohler and rolled over and pressed him against the bed. Tonight, the Mavericks will play the Thunder again at home, but Odom doesn't seem to have the slightest hint of moderation.

But this time, Kohler. Kardashian didn't give in. She pushed Odom away and stood up from the side of the bed with the newspaper.

"Save your strength for tonight's game, if you can't put on a good performance, don't wait for that Chinese to come, your position in the team is already lost."

Kardashian's words surprised Odom himself. When did this woman start caring about her career?

Actually, Kardashian certainly doesn't care what Odom's career looks like. Even if Odom becomes a "water cooler manager", Kardashian will not be disappointed.

The reason why he hopes that Odom can regain his form is because after leaving Los Angeles, his and Odom's exposure has dropped significantly!

When they were in Los Angeles, the two of them would be in the newspaper every three days, and they would participate in a reality show or something from time to time. But since arriving in Dallas, that feeling of being in the limelight has completely disappeared.

Gossip magazines here aren't interested in a Lakers outcast, and the sports media aren't going to take the time to report on a player who is performing badly. Kardashian doesn't just enjoy that feeling of being in the limelight, but more importantly, high exposure is the basis for a high income. There was no exposure, and Kohler and Odom's income plummeted.

And these are the real reasons why Kardashian is "worried" about Odom's career.

"Don't look at me with such surprise, I'm doing it for your own good. Train well today and perform well in the evening. After the match, you can ...... whatever you want," Kardashian said, wiggling her fat buttocks at Odom seductively.

Odom slapped Kardashian's ass and smiled maliciously. This is the first time since joining the Mavericks that Odom wants to train well.

※※※

Early in the morning, Yiyang was still the first person to come to the training ground. After Vignarie, who had already finished her morning training in Italy, called Yiyang, it was still early in the morning on the American side. But Yiyang couldn't sleep anymore after talking on the phone, which is one of the reasons why Yiyang can come so early every day.

Starting today, the Mavericks will face another round of back-to-back, intensive fixtures. Compared to the last time they faced weak teams such as the Raptors and Timberwolves, this time, the Mavericks will face the Thunder, who are currently first in the West, the Suns, who are eighth in the West, and the Spurs, who are second in the West. With three games and three strong opponents, this is undoubtedly a new round of challenges for Mavericks and Yiyang.

Tonight, against a vengeful Oklahoma City Thunder, the Mavericks will certainly not have an easy time at home. So Yiyang started preparing early, he didn't want to be pressed and beaten by the Westbrook guy on the court.

After Yiyang trained alone for half an hour, Nowitzki, as always, appeared in the training ground for the second time. The third one to arrive was Carlisle, who stayed up all night watching the video.

Originally, everything was no different than usual, but when Odom walked into the training ground in high spirits for the fourth, everyone was stunned.

Odom noticed that Yiyang and Nowitzki were staring at him in surprise, and he smiled slightly and waved at Yiyang and Nowitzki. "Morning, Dirk."

At this moment, Yiyang and Nowitzki were even more stunned. It seemed like Odom's first time greeting his teammates since he joined the team. Odom seems to have forgotten all the quarrels with Yiyang before.

"Morning ...... Good morning, Lamar. Dirk replied hesitantly, but Yiyang didn't say anything.

"Against the Thunder tonight, those guys are not easy to deal with. So today, I have to prepare early. Later, let's practice shooting! With that, Odom went into the locker room to change his clothes. Yiyang and Nowitzki had a "hell" expression, Odom took the wrong medicine today?

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows of his office, Carlisle naturally sees Odom's positive side as well. Maybe it was the arrival of Yi Jianlian that made that guy feel pressure?

Later, on the training ground, Odom practiced really diligently. Although he has been abandoned for a long time and still cannot reach the level of his previous game with the Lakers, his attitude has changed 180 degrees from before.

On the training ground, Odom completed all of today's projects. In the locker room, the face will no longer continue to be gloomy. Kardashian is right, she needs to take the initiative to change so that she will not let that Chinese threaten herself!

In the evening, the Mavericks' game against the Thunder started as scheduled. Before the game began, people talked about Yiyang and Westbrook, Nowitzki and Durant, and even Delonti, who had a good performance in the last game. West. But absolutely no one would have thought of going to Theodom's name.

After several games in the snow, Odom has faded into obscurity. At the start of the season, he was also seen as an important part of the Mavericks' roster. But now, the commentators have automatically ignored the "all-round warrior" who can only play in garbage time.

Compared to Odom itself, Kohler. Kardashian's appearance is more eye-catching. This is the first time that Kardashian has come to watch her husband play since Odom joined the Mavericks. It was precisely because the camera of the photographer on the scene happened to sweep the Kardashian that people remembered that there was still Odom in the Mavericks.

After the start of the game, the two sides naturally played very closely. Just a few days ago, the Thunder had just lost at home to the Mavericks. Today, they're also looking to take the win away from the Mavericks' home court.

Unfortunately, however, the Thunder hit back-to-back iron until the middle of the first quarter, giving the Mavericks a chance to take the lead.

Yiyang and Nowitzki opened their bows left and right, and before the end of the first quarter, the score became 26-20. The Mavericks led by six points heading into the second quarter, and the Thunder didn't take advantage of it.

In the fifth minute of the second quarter, Nowitzki, who was sweating profusely, went off the game early. Carlisle doesn't just have to think about this game, after all, the Mavericks still have games to play in the next two days. If Nowitzki is tired to death in the first game, the Mavericks will only struggle more after that.

Cardinal continued to be called upon and was the first substitute for Nowitzki until Yi returned to the team. In the last game, Ibaka can be said to have suffered humiliation under Cardinal. And today, Ibaka has decided to double it all!

As soon as Nowitzki came off the pitch, Ibaka leaned on Cardinal to hook up and score a goal. Cardinal relies more on skill and experience on the defensive end, but Ibaka, who has been in the game once, will not suffer a second loss in front of Cardinal.

After that, the Mavericks attacked, and Ibaka stood close to the basket to prevent Yiyang from breaking through. Yiyang saw the vacancy, broke through the ball, and sent the basketball to Cardinal, who was completely empty outside the three-point line.

Cardinal holds the ball in an empty position, but Ibaka has no intention of pounced! The Congolese know that if they really pounce forward, they are exactly in Cardinal's place!

Cardinal reluctantly made a three-point shot, but Cardinal, whose ability had been greatly degraded, did not shoot, and the basketball stumbled out of the frame. It seems that it is almost impossible to count on Cardinal to become a stable output point.

Subsequently, Durant borrowed the screen to attack the basket. Cardinal struggled to jump, but was tricked by Durant into hitting a three-pointer.

Watching the team give the opponent consecutive chances because of Cardinal, Carlisle stood up and looked at the bench. That guy who is actively preparing for the battle, can you let him try it again?

Taking advantage of this deadball, Carlisle walked up to Odom and asked him to get ready to play.

Odom jumped to his feet excitedly, in fact, he was not thinking about the victory of the game or his career, but about Kohler. Kardashian's mouth-watering buttocks.

"Lamar. Odom, Coach Carlisle has brought this man back to us who we almost forged about! A few days ago, there was still a lot of talk about his discord with Yi. Let's see, can Lamar, who has returned to normal rotation, coexist with Yi. ”

Durant's free throw was naturally a solid shot, and he successfully hit a three-pointer, and the Thunder also closed the gap to only one point.

Yiyang took the baseline ball from Haywood and pushed forward, and after Odom came on the court, Yiyang felt that every time he attacked after that, the Mavericks were 4 to 5. But today, Odom's movement on the offensive end was very aggressive!

As soon as Yiyang passed half-time, Odom shook off Ibaka with a counter-run and raised his hand to the left corner for the ball.

Ibaka is a little absent-minded about Odom's defense, and in the eyes of the Congolese, Odom is not even as good as the one named Cardinal.

Yiyang didn't want to pass the ball over, but seeing that Ibaka was stunned, Yiyang decided to give it a try!

His eyes were fixed on Carter, who cut in, but Yiyang flicked his wrist and passed the ball to Odom in the exact opposite direction to Carter.

Odom received the basketball, and his expression became serious. He leaped high and pushed the basketball out before the surprised Ibaka could jump.

I haven't experienced such a comfortable feeling for a long time. Looking at the basketball as it drew closer to the basket, Odom felt as if he had lifted the last veil of Kardashian's clothes.

The basketball hit the left side of the basket, but fell into the net on the second fall. Odom hit a three-pointer, his first three-pointer with the Mavericks, and the most serious Odom ever made.

"The ball went in and the young Ibaka paid the price for his underdog mentality! What he is facing is the hero who once assisted Kobe Bryant to win the championship! ”

For the first time this season, there was a commentator who used a flattering word for Odom.

Kohler in the stands. Kardashian smiled and applauded, as long as Odom played well, a lot of dollars would return to her bag.

After that, Kohler's eyes fell on the young Chinese who assisted Odom's goal. Recently, in the NBA league, Yiyang can be said to be in the limelight, very hot, and has a high exposure rate. And the huge Chinese market behind him also has unlimited potential.

Kohler smiled, Yiyang, this guy, maybe he can also be used by his own family......
