A day of vacation has indeed greatly relaxed Yiyang's body and mind. The bloody battle with the Trailblazers has completely become a thing of the past, and the current Yiyang is using a new mentality to meet the next challenges.

Not just Yiyang, but the entire Mavericks seem to be like this. After returning from a day of vacation, the Mavericks players did not let go of it, but practiced better.

"Also, how was yesterday's business dinner?" In between training breaks, Nowitzki approached Yiyang and curiously asked about Yiyang's experience last night.

"It's okay, it's boring. However, I talked to the producers of the NBA2K series, and they wanted me to be the cover spokesperson. ”

"Then you've got something to gain, I read the newspaper, and Vignari went with you yesterday?" Nowitzki's question suddenly caught Terry's attention.

The old boy immediately came over and looked at Yiyang a few times. "Boy, yesterday...... Didn't go home! ”

"Of course I'm home!" Yiyang hurriedly answered, and then ran to the training ground to shoot the basketball with the basketball.

Seeing Yiyang's reaction, Terry and Nowitzki looked at each other and smiled, this guy can't even lie.

Since the Hornets and Lakers have not yet decided the winner, Carlisle has also made two preparations.

Now, the Mavericks players have to practice two sets of tactics based on two different opponents. In order to win, they must be fully prepared.

In other words, in the next few days, Yiyang's training will be very hard.

After the day's training, Carlisle also led the group into the tactical room. In the past few days, he has watched a lot of footage of the Lakers and Hornets games, and he has also transferred some of the opponent's more classic tactics for the players to watch.

"The series between the two sides was very intense, and the current score is 3-2, with the Los Angeles Lakers getting the match point. But I can't guarantee that Kobe Bryant will be able to lead the team out of the encirclement. Because Chris. Paul's performance in this series was nothing short of perfect! Carlisle said, pressing the play button on the remote control. The picture projected by the projector onto the screen immediately moved, and at this time, it was Paul who was in control of the ball.

Paul averaged 22 points, 6.7 rebounds and 11.5 assists per game in this series, and there have only been three people in history in this playoff series: Michael Jordan, "Magic" Johnson and Steve. Nash. ”

Hearing Carlisle say this, Yiyang couldn't help but clench his fists. If the Hornets do counterattack the Lakers to win, then the opposite Chris. Paul, what a challenge.

Although Yiyang also played against Paul during the regular season, he knew that Paul did not play to his full strength during the regular season. But when it comes to the playoffs that decide the championship, Paul won't be relenting.

"But the Hornets are not invincible, if we meet the Hornets. So, first of all I want you to do well to Chris. Paul's defense. Secondly, I want everyone to focus on the inside on the offensive end! The inside line is the weakest point of the Hornets. Carlisle pressed the remote control in his hand, and the picture on the screen immediately turned into a scene where the Lakers attacked the Hornets again and again to score points easily.

"Landry and Okafor, both of them are inside players who are more offensive than defensive. As long as we take advantage of the opportunity on the inside, we can get a big advantage. ”

"But if our opponent is the Los Angeles Lakers...... Carlisle said, rubbing his forehead.

"Well, there are no shortcuts. Fighting these guys is the only way to win! ”

Yiyang stared at the curtain, and Kobe's resolute expression appeared on the screen. Playing the playoffs with a guy like Kobe? It's a nightmare!

The day after tomorrow is the last game with the Hornets, Kobe Bryant has just arrived at the training ground, Phil. Jackson came up.

"The day after tomorrow, do you want to let Bynum hold the ball more." Although Jackson is the coach of this team, in the Lakers, any managerial change in tactics must definitely be known to Kobe Bryant in advance.

"It's okay, I can still fight." Kobe Bryant said, picking up the basketball in the box and throwing it.

At this time, Kobe Bryant's physical condition was not good, he had an injury to his right index finger, and he was still wrapped in gauze. There is also a certain degree of sprain in the ankle of the left foot. These things will affect Kobe's play on the basketball court to a large extent.

If it had been someone else, perhaps a truce would have been made long ago. But Kobe Bryant ...... Sometimes Phil. Jackson even suspected that he wasn't human at all!

"Listen, no matter what, I want you to stay healthy. Without you, even if we made it through the first round, we would have been in vain in the end! Jackson warned Bryant in a righteous and eloquent tone.

However, Kobe, who was shooting on the court, only smiled slightly. "Don't worry, Phil, I still want to play with that kid. It's going to be a fun game against the Mavericks, and I won't miss it. ”

Jackson shook his head, turned and walked back to his office. The smile on Kobe's face also disappeared in an instant, and this guy became the paranoid "Black Mamba" again.

We'll certainly beat the Hornets and make it to the second round of the playoffs. Then beat the calf and move on. In the end, no matter who the opponent is, whether it is the Heat or the Celtics. The championships are all Lakers!

The dream of building a dynasty with three consecutive championships, Kobe Bryant has no intention of giving up!

Meanwhile, in New Orleans, the Smoothie Kings Center.

The atmosphere on the training ground was very solemn, even to the point of depressing. Hornets leader "Queen Bee" Chris. Paul's face was gloomy, as if there was always a dark cloud above his head. The usual chatter and laughter during training are all gone at this moment.

Paul's face was gloomy, and no one in the entire training ground dared to say much. Just kidding, the Hornets, who are not stars, how dare they hit the muzzle of the gun when the team boss is in a bad mood.

Originally, the Hornets were expected to hit the top three in the West this season. However, Paul's injury caused the Hornets to fall quickly.

After Paul returned from injury and did his best, he barely managed to pull the Hornets into seventh place in the West.

But what is even more unfortunate is that the Mavericks, who were originally ranked second in the West, suddenly fell to third in the last month of the regular season. Paul, he had to lead his team to an early meeting with the defending champion Lakers.

The Mavericks were the opponents Paul had his eye on. For him, neither the aged Kidd nor the too young Yiyang will cause him too much trouble.

To this day, Paul thinks so. So, as long as you win against the Los Angeles Lakers, and then take the Dallas Mavericks as a matter of course. Then, the Western Conference Finals or even the Finals will likely become a reality for Paul!

So, the guy just kept silent and silently sweated on the training ground. The game the day after tomorrow, you must not lose!

Immediately after a day's holiday, the situation in the entire Union became tense again. And Yiyang and the Mavericks have also been stared at by the two heroes.

Abandon? Of course not. No matter how strong the Lakers and Hornets are, Yiyang will make it clear to them that we are not soft persimmons!

Three teams, three completely different destinies. I don't know which of these three teams will compete for a spot in the Western Conference Finals in the end

The Mavericks need to get ready, the two beasts in the jungle have already cast a fierce eye on them......
