Damien. Lillard, the point guard who only entered the league through the draft in 12 years, has grown as fast as Yiyang.

People think that this guy, who has been in college for three whole years, has little potential to tap into. As an older rookie, he was seen as a good instant player, but no one ever thought that this guy would improve.

So when he was drafted with the sixth pick, a lot of media scolded Trail Blazers general manager Nell. Orsi is an idiot who actually chose a junior guard with such a high pick.

They could take off Drummond, the inside monster of the University of Connecticut, in place of the pain of losing Oden. Or the more talented North Carolina forward Harrison. Barnes, but the Trail Blazers used the precious sixth pick to pick Lillard, who no longer has potential in the eyes of the media.

As it turns out, the media has always been nothing more than gibberish, and Nell. Orsi made the right decision! In his rookie season, Lillard went on a killing spree and won the Rookie of the Year award casually. This season, when the Bobcats' 12-year rookie Michael. Kyd. While Gilchrist's points per game are not improving, Lillard has become one of the best guards in the league.

This guy has a lot of similarities with Yiyanghe, and they were both selected by the high picks without being favored. Then it erupts in silence, takes revenge on the whole world, and tells everyone: we can!

In fact, the similarities between Yiyang and Lillard are not only that.

When he was in high school, Lillard's Oakland High School was a long way from home, and the school's basketball team was so large that the court couldn't be divided, and every time Lillard left for home after practice, it was already 9 p.m.

One night, while Lillard was waiting for a bus, three young men appeared trying to rob him. That's right, it's another chaotic black neighborhood, and Yiyang is also from this kind of place.

At that time, Lillard had grown to 1.82 meters, and after assessing the strength of friend and foe, he thought about knocking down the shortest of them first, and then dealing with the remaining two.

"As I stepped back to start attacking, one of them pulled out a gun and pointed it at my head." This sentence was personally described by Lillard when he mentioned this incident to reporters as a child.

How Lillard escaped later is unknown to the world except him. But one thing is for sure, children who come out of this environment are usually not afraid of the NBA game!

Because they've all seen the worst, what's the difficulty of encountering a strong opponent on the basketball court?

When Yiyang first joined the alliance, he was also not afraid to challenge any strong enemy. Delong. Williams, Chris. Paul and even Kobe, Yiyang when he was a rookie had already left a deep impression on these well-known names. More than anything he had to deal with in Wood, these famous guys were as gentle as sheep.

It's just that Yiyang is more taciturn, so he doesn't like to take the initiative to provoke his opponent. Otherwise, he wouldn't be any different from Lillard now.

Now, Lillard is simply a second-in-law. The difference is that Lillard will express emotions like "I'm not afraid of you" directly, while Yiyang will not.

In the face of such an interesting opponent, Yiyang prepared quite seriously. Although he is already an MVP, Lillard has only just started his second professional season. But he knows very well that Lillard is the kind of person, if you give him the slightest chance, he will knock you to the ground. Even if the other party is just a second-year freshman, Yiyang will not slack off.

Therefore, after sending Wen Xue home from the airport, after a simple dinner, Yiyang was ready to drive to the training hall again.

"Training again?" Seeing that Yiyang left in a hurry after eating, Wen Xue asked casually.

"Well, it's still early, and it can't be wasted." Yiyang wiped his mouth, he hadn't eaten the delicacies made by Wen Xue for a long time, and he really had a full meal today.

"If you have time, think about what I told you."

"What's the matter?" Yiyang stared at his mother in surprise.

"Of course it's a matter of getting married! How long are you going to delay? ”

"I'm not trying to win a wedding ring." Yiyang's face flushed, picked up his backpack and went out.

Of course, Wen Xue understood what Yiyang meant, this kid, where would anyone use a championship ring as a wedding ring?

What Wen Xue didn't know was that for a professional basketball couple, maybe this is the biggest romance......

At seven o'clock in the evening on January 17, the Dallas Mavericks, who had won 17 in a row, came to a crossroads in history.

From now on, every step that Yiyang leads the Mavericks team to take is setting a record!

Mavericks fans flocked to the "big candy" of the American Route Center Arena like ants, and no one wanted to miss the team's historic moment.

Both sides of the game warmed up early today, and both the Trail Blazers and Mavericks took this game very seriously.

As a former Carlisle assistant coach, Terry. Stotts has led the Trail Blazers to great results this season. With 30 wins and 9 losses, it is indeed very difficult to control the defeat in single digits so far in the season.

Recently, the Trail Blazers have just won four in a row and are gaining momentum. The Mavericks don't want their winning streak to be ended, and neither do the Trail Blazers.

During the warm-up, Lillard showed his good form. Although his shooting percentage was low in the first few games, he was ridiculed by Yiyang for this. Today, however, the zero guard seemed to be accurate in his shot from the right corner. During the warm-up, Lillard deliberately practiced in that position for a long time, and he didn't concede a single ball!

Listening to the sound of the Nets rolling in the opposite half, Yiyang was not afraid, but a little excited. Breaking the 17-game winning streak is a historic moment, and naturally it can't be done casually on any shrimp soldier and crab general. In that case, even if the record is broken, Yiyang will not gain any sense of achievement.

But Lillard and the Portland Trail Blazers are good opponents. Breaking the record with 18 consecutive wins on their heads proves the strength of this Mavericks!

The sound of electronic buzzers at the scene reminded that the Yiyang game was about to start. Stotts and Carlisle shook hands amicably, after all, the two were championship partners no matter how they were.

But Yiyang and Lillard, these two stubborn boys who came out of the black neighborhood, are not so friendly.

It is impossible to shake hands, although the two respect each other. But for now, they are all enemies who want to kill each other!

Lillard wants to challenge Yiyang as the MVP to prove himself, and Yiyang has to defend his home court and try to break the 17-game winning streak.

"The last time the Trail Blazers won against the Mavericks, it was because they were also suspended. And today, the Trail Blazers have a full roster. No team has won against the Mavericks twice this season, so let's see if the Trail Blazers can do it! ”

Today, Trail Blazers legend Carlade. Drexler was present as a guest commentator. "The Glider" only talks about the game in Boston or Houston most of the time, as he is most popular in those places. Today is his first visit to Dallas this season. Therefore, he also very much expects the Trail Blazers to win big on the road as well!

After the start of the game, Robin with an exaggerated explosive head. Lopez easily snatched the basketball away from Hellam Porter. The ball fell directly into Lillard's hands, and Lillard raised his right hand to direct the offense, slowly advancing.

As soon as Yiyang came on the court, Lillard experienced what is called VIP-level treatment, and his close pressing made Lillard have to choose to pass. If you continue to entangle with Yiyang, there is a chance that you will be snatched by his fast hand.

Lillard passed the ball to Batum, Batum hung to Aldridge, Aldridge singled out Nowitzki, and it looked like the offense had nothing to do with Lillard.

When Aldridge received the basketball, he was in a position he liked so much. He didn't hesitate and just turned over and jumped out.

However, it may be because of the opening that Aldridge still feels a little icy. The basketball slammed into the front of the basket and bounced out, missing the shot.

Dyreham Porter was in a sideways shift, stuck in position, and was about to jump to grab the board.

At that moment, Durham Potter felt a huge impact on his shoulders, as if a huge wave was crashing against his back, causing his center of gravity to move forward even when he was stuck in position.

In the next second, the basket made a loud noise. The basketball fell from Durham Porter's eyes, and the Haitian veteran knew he was being slammed!

"Catch the buckle, Damien. Lillard! He slipped the ball back into the basket right through Durham Porter's solid back! It can be seen that Lillard played very aggressively today. The Mavericks have to be careful, guard zero won't easily hand over an 18-game winning streak today! "Drexler had just gotten into the game when he was taken aback by Lillard's dunk.

Lillard, who is 1.9 meters tall, flew up to block 2.11 meters of Damham Porter, and his whole person seemed to be completely out of gravity. Even Mavericks fans who are used to seeing Yiyang flying away can't help but gasp for this.

Lillard landed, arms outstretched to steady his center of gravity. After that, defender zero high-fived Aldridge and then retreated.

As he passed by Yiyang, Lilla Derby took out a finger. He was telling Yiyang that the score was already 1-0!

"I'm sorry Samuel, my fault." Yiyang ignored Lillard's provocation and instead walked up and patted Damham Porter's ass in apology. If he had jammed Lillard early in this shot, the dunk wouldn't have happened. In the final analysis, Yiyang is not optimistic about his people.

"It's okay, that's how my old bones are. Hey, you're going to have to save face for me. "Bulham Porter is probably the best player in the league, and after being blocked, he can still joke with Yiyang.

But Yiyang didn't take this sentence as a joke, he nodded seriously, and then took the baseline ball from Durham Potter.

"Leave it to me, and I'll make him pay it back." Yiyang said, and began to advance towards the front court.
