Stevens remembers that when he first found Yiyang, Yiyang had just been removed from the high school basketball team for fighting with his teammates. The reason for this is because his teammates spoke out and insulted Yiyang's mother.

At that time, Yiyang was rebellious and didn't like to be bound by rules. He knew that only when he was fierce would others keep their mouths shut. And the fist is the best weapon to make yourself fierce.

It's hard for Stevens to imagine what Yiyang would have been like if his teammate in high school had violated Yiyang with physical contact instead of words.

But at least for now, Stevens has the answer. As he grows up, Yiyang uses his fists less and less. Raja today. Bell's violation, if it was in college, Yiyang would probably rush up and beat this guy.

But now Yiyang knows that Fist can't help him solve all his problems. On the basketball court, it is obviously better to solve the problem in the way of basketball.

"Stinky boy, finally grown up." Seeing Yiyang dealing with the reporters who came to interview him with a light car, Stevens was extremely relieved. Yiyang's growth is not only in his skills, but also in his heart.

"With eight wins in a row, the Dallas Mavericks have achieved a terrific result. He also averaged 16.6 points and 8.8 assists per game in eight games. If you just look at the stats, you would think this is the performance of some of the league's top point guards. However, he is only a first-year freshman. And unlike other high-pick rookies, he's not the team's No. 1 choice for scoring. Even so, it is still unstoppable and soaring! Today, Coach Sloan has seen the horrors of newcomers. I think from now on, he will continue to increase Hayward's playing time. "After the game, Mike. Brin made a summary of Yiyang's eight games. As expected, the data produced by Yiyang is very good, and this is not the final form of Yiyang.

If you want Mike. Brin's evaluation that Cuban's draft this summer is simply the best draft of the Mavericks since Nowitzki!

On the pitch, Yiyang and Hayward, two young men who performed very well, hugged in the center circle, and after a few words, the two sides exchanged their jerseys.

Unlike green courts, in the world of basketball, there doesn't seem to be a tradition of players exchanging jerseys after a game. And the whereabouts of the NBA players' jerseys after the game are all planned in advance. This also indicates that Hayward and Yiyang will exchange jerseys with each other, and they will have to pay for the jerseys out of their own pockets.

But that still doesn't stop Yiyang and Hayward's behavior, they respect each other and see each other as respectable opponents. What is the money for a jersey?

"Had a good game today, man, you're in luck." Hayward, who lost the game, was a little unwilling, but at the same time, he was glad that Sloan really gave him so many opportunities to perform today.

"Don't be stubborn, 1-0 Gordon, see you next time, I'll continue to pull away from the score."

Since the Mavericks have to go to Sacramento tomorrow to play back-to-back road games, Yiyang has to hurry back to the locker room, after all, the Mavericks still have to catch a plane.

Therefore, the two didn't talk for a few words, and then dispersed. The world of professional basketball is destined to make it impossible for these two young guys to have the same carefree long talk as before, everyone has their own path to go, and moreover, it can't stop yet.

Yiyang hurriedly pushed open the door of the locker room, for fear that he would make his teammates wait for a long time. However, when he pushed open the door, he found that his teammates had a bottle of Gatorade in their hands, and they all poured it on Yiyang.

"Hahahaha, congratulations, boy, you can beat Delong dizzy today!" Terry is naturally the one with the most "firepower" among them.

"My best player has been snatched away by you again, you have the doughnut for tomorrow!" Dirk also joins in with the hee-hee.

Carlisle, who was sitting in the chair, didn't urge his players, this group of good lads, what is the big deal with a little relaxation?

"They're making such a fuss, can we still catch the plane?" Stotts, the team's assistant coach, couldn't help but be a little worried as he watched the players having their best play.

"It's okay, just let them make trouble. This group of guys has their own measure. Carlisle was smiling, and he allowed a short time to celebrate a victory in the NBA's packed schedule.

The Mavericks were jubilant here, but the Jazz's home locker room was depressing.

Sloan didn't lose his temper today, but sat in the locker room without saying a word. As a result, the players did not dare to speak one by one, but they did not dare to leave. This kind of atmosphere is more uncomfortable than Sloan's anger.

"Maybe I should have chosen to leave like you, old man." Sloan remembered the late Miller Sr., but no one cared what the old man was muttering......

※※※

Another back-to-back away game, another back-to-back. The fast-paced life of running around and playing games in the United States made Yiyang, a rookie, feel a little tired.

Thankfully, the Sacramento Kings aren't a strong team, and they've just returned to Sacramento home and are back-to-back today.

The Kings, who were only bloodied by the Lakers yesterday, are definitely not high morale today. If nothing else, it won't be difficult for the Mavericks to win nine straight games in Sacramento.

In the afternoon of adaptation, the players were not in good shape. But looking at the Kings' half, it seems that they are also half-hearted.

Kings coach Paul. Westphale doesn't have a good way to do this, this group of players is too young to play a tough game at all, they just lost to the Lakers yesterday, and today there is a Maverick with a better record, and this game has actually lost most of the suspense before it starts.

Looking at the dismal attendance at the Sleeping Train Arena and the large number of empty seats in the commentary seats, it seemed that everyone thought it was going to be a one-sided game.

However, the process of the game was beyond everyone's expectations.

Kings hopeful, last year's rookie of the year Tyrek Brown. Evans, acting like a real superstar.

This guy even shot and hit frequently outside the three-point line, beating the Mavericks.

If there's only one Evans, the Kings aren't scary. But the team's little-known power forward Dent. Green, but today embarrassed the exhausted Nowitzki!

Dent. Green grabbed six offensive rebounds today and scored 10 points in the restricted area just by taking advantage of the second offense.

And the Mavericks' ridiculously low shooting percentage from the outside kept the Kings clinging to the score.

Fortunately, Yiyang became Nowitzki's right-hand man again today, against Slovenian defender Beno. Yudri and Yiyang's advantages in athleticism are vividly reflected.

Originally, the Kings' defense was in shambles, and after Yiyang broke through Yudri, he basically didn't encounter obstacles. Although Cousins, the rookie center in the same class as Yiyang, is very aggressive, his impatient defense can only be a springboard for Yiyang to stand at the free throw line.

In the end, Nowitzki's 25 points and Yiyang's second-highest 23 points helped the Mavericks get out of Sacramento without danger. After the match, Carlisle was still a little frightened until he shook hands with Westfaal. With the score on the court 95-93, the Mavericks won the game by just two points. If the game is extended by one more minute, the Mavericks' winning streak will really be interrupted.

Yiyang's performance of 23 points, 7 assists, 1 steal and 2 turnovers is still outstanding, and it can be said that without him, the exhausted Mavericks would not have been able to win.

When Yiyang hit the highlight stats again, Mavericks fans will no longer be surprised by this. Because, this is just Yiyang's regular performance. This guy's status in the hearts of fans is no longer as simple as an ordinary rookie.

In Sacramento, the Mavericks finally snapped their ninth straight win. And it is only one step away from the hurdle of 10 consecutive wins.

I don't know if it was God's will, and if they want to win ten in a row, the Mavericks must defeat their mortal enemy in three days.

Three years ago, the Golden State Warriors, who humiliatingly defeated the Mavericks in the playoffs to complete the Black Eight Miracle!

Although today's Golden State Warriors are very different from the original, Nowitzki and others and Mavericks fans have not forgotten the humiliation when they were beaten by the Black Eight.

For Yiyang personally, playing with the Warriors is also a big challenge.

Compared to today's Udri, the Warriors had two young two-gun shots in the backcourt. Ellis and Stephen. Curry, he won't let Yiyang pass so easily.

The fatalistic duel between the Mavericks and the Warriors made them meet on the hurdle of a ten-game winning streak.

Presumably, the "cowboys" who return to their home court after three days will definitely receive a warm "welcome ceremony".
