It's just June, and no one chooses to start training on their holidays before the season is over. But to Brickley's surprise, Yiyang, who became popular in the playoffs, became the first NBA star to do so.

The NBA season is still going on, and the youthful and invincible Thunder have overturned the old Spurs and made history to the Finals. And the Heat Big Three led by James also defeated the Celtics, the old Big Three, and appeared on the stage of the Finals for the second year in a row.

When Durant and James were still fighting, Yiyang had already begun to sweat in Los Angeles. Of course, Yiyang is still not Brickley's only customer this year.

"Aren't you going to go fishing on the shores of Baiyan Lake? Or, going on a trip with your girlfriend? When Brickley first met Yiyang in Los Angeles this year, he asked Yiyang two questions. Because Yiyang came too early, only half a month after the end of the season, Yiyang started training, which seemed to be a crazy thing in Brickley's opinion.

However, Yiyang just shook his head, not even smiling. "I have no interest in fishing, Chris, as for girlfriends. Have you forgotten that I said I would bring someone to train with me this year? As soon as Yiyang finished speaking, the tall Vignari walked to Yiyang's side with her luggage.

Brickley, a young and promising trainer, was completely stunned, he had seen a lot of NBA stars, but it was the first time that Brickley provided a service like a "couple package".

"Vignarie also wanted to get some high-level training, so I brought her along." Yiyang said, putting his arm around Vignarie's shoulder.

Brickley shook his head and smiled, although this way of spending the holiday was very special. But looking at the sincere smiles of a man and a woman in front of him through the sunset, Brickley was sure that this special vacation should be very happy for them......

After the Mavericks were eliminated, Yiyang wasn't the only one working hard. By this time, Cuban, Nelson Jr., and Carlisle were already sitting in their offices and planning for this summer's team build.

Influenced by the Heat and the Celtics, all teams across the league now want to build a "Big Three" roster. As it turns out, piecing together superstars is the quickest way to a championship. Naturally, Cuban has been deeply influenced by it, and in fact, the boss who is willing to spend money has always been committed to building a lavish star lineup.

"After Jason's retirement, we only have two non-sale items on the team, Dirk and Yi. This summer, our goal is to build a team around the two of them. Cuban turned on the projector and put on it the PPT that he had worked so hard to make with the scouts. It can be seen that Cuban is quite attentive for this summer. He has thoroughly researched the free agent market this summer and has placed red circles on the heads of several players. There is no doubt that the guys who are marked are the key recruits of Cuban this summer.

"You mean, Jett......" Carlisle had just heard that Yiyang and Dirk were not for sale, but he had not heard Terry's name.

"I know I know, Jett played for the Mavericks for eight full years, and he's one of the Mavericks' most popular stars. But as you said, our team is aging. And Jett is also the aging part. I'm grateful for his contributions to the Mavericks, and I'll even consider retiring his jersey in Dallas at a later date. But for now, it doesn't do us any good to renew Jett's contract! "Cuban told Carlisle, the head coach, all his thoughts this time." 15 million for 3 years, to be honest, I don't think Jet is worth the price now. How old is he after 3 years? 38 years old! By that time, I'll have to pay more than $5 million for a 38-year-old veteran. At that time, no one dared to guarantee what Jett would be able to do, not because I was reluctant to pay for it, but because his presence was likely to hinder the development of the team. ”

"No, no, Mark, maybe you haven't figured it out yet. This past season, Jett was our third leading scorer! After Dirk, Jett made the biggest contribution to the team on the offensive end! You're telling me now that you're not going to renew your contract with the team's third scorer, so what about the replacement? Carlisle knew that Cuban wasn't the kind of unreasonable boss, so he dared to speak out against him.

"I'll ask you a question first, Rick. Also, is he a two-way guard? Instead of answering Carlisle, Cuban asked rhetorically.

"There's no doubt he's a great two-way guard, and you can see how effective he was when he played a two-point guard lineup with Kidd last season." Carlisle didn't know what Cuban was trying to say, so he could only follow his train of thought first.

"So, what if I told you that we might have him and Yiyang in the backcourt this summer? Do you still think it's not worth letting Jett go? Cuban pressed the computer keyboard, and a picture appeared on the projector, causing Carlisle's eyes to widen.

It's been more than half a month since he came to Brickley's training camp, and Yiyang feels that his consistency in shooting from beyond the three-point line has made great progress. And what about Vignarie? She is more often "nymphomaniac" when she accompanies Yiyang to practice three points, so her progress is very limited.

During this period, Brickley naturally ate a lot of "dog food". When Yiyang is tired, Vignarie, who is wearing a basketball uniform, will always hand over towels and water in time. When they are bored, the two can still fight bulls on the basketball court. Of course, this bullfight is carried out under the laughter of the two people. There was even a time when Brickley accidentally saw Vignari stepping on a basketball and kissing Yiyang passionately.

Since then, Brickley has vowed never to take on this kind of "couple's package" job again until he has found a girlfriend himself.

Of course, seeing Yiyang and Vignarie's daily life, Brickley was more envious in his heart. A girlfriend like Vignarie is what many men who love basketball dream of?

She wears a ponytail, a large jersey, sneakers, stands on the sidelines with mineral water, and silently accompanies you to play basketball. On the court during the day, she can be a basketball giant, and he is proficient in all kinds of jumpers at 1.83 meters.

And when she walks out of the court, she will transform into a hot girlfriend who makes the "little brother raise his head".

While eating "dog food", Brickley also secretly felt lucky for Yiyang in his heart. With such a girlfriend by his side, the quality of his training has been good, and he will definitely be able to improve a lot in the summer. Of course, the disadvantage is that Yiyang may have to pay more physical strength at night. No, wait? Is this a disadvantage?

After today's training, Yiyang and Vignari are ready to go around downtown Los Angeles as always. The city carries many fond memories for both of them, and Santa Monica Beach is a must-visit for them every night.

However, the originally peaceful training life was broken by a phone call from Yiyang. At first, Yiyang thought that the Basketball Association was urging him to return to the team quickly. However, when Yiyang picked up the phone, he was stunned for a moment.

"Why don't you answer the phone?" Seeing Yiyang in a daze with the mobile phone in his hand, Vignari hugged Yiyang from behind and poked her head forward.

Yiyang didn't answer, silently pressed the answer button, and then slowly put the phone to his ear. "Jett, man, what's the matter?"

"Hey, ......" on the other end of the phone, Terry's voice was a little less passionate than usual. I don't think the Mavericks will renew my contract. ”

"Huh?" Yiyang is stunned, the Mavericks will not renew Terry's contract? Are you kidding? John Terry was the team's third-leading scorer last season! "It's not April Fool's Day today, don't make jokes like that."

"Today, I'm not kidding, either. yes, I was very surprised, very, very surprised," Terry sighed and continued. "Everything I do for the team, everything I do for the community...... I thought they were going to sign me back, but they weren't, so that's life, and I'm going to teach it to my daughters in the future. ”

Hearing Terry's heavy tone, Yiyang believed that it was true!

"No, no, no, it can't be!" Yiyang hurriedly shook his head, startling Vignary, who was unaware. "This ..... There is absolutely no reason why they don't renew their contract with you! ”

Yiyang is in a hurry, and during the playoffs, he has already lost Kidd in the team. Now, he doesn't want to lose Terry again!

"The Boston Celtics called me, and Rivers said on the phone, 'We need you, you're our number one target,' and if I had gotten the same call from the Mavericks, I'd still be a Mavericks." But ......" Terry was obviously so depressed himself that he couldn't even tell the whole thing in a row. "But...... Mark said he didn't plan to renew his contract with me. ”

"Damn, I'm going to ask him, ask Mark. We've got to be on the same team, and we're going to win the championship together! After Yiyang finished speaking, he hung up the phone. Without the slightest hesitation, he immediately called Cuban.

Cuban was in his office at the time, working on plans for the team's construction this summer. When he saw the name on the caller ID on his phone, Cuban actually knew the purpose of Yiyang's call.

"Hello, how was the holiday?"

"Mark, Jett said you weren't going to renew his contract, is that true!?" Yiyang, who was in a hurry, did not beat around the bush, and went straight to the point when he connected the phone.

"It's a pity, too. I was also reluctant to let Jett go, and our personal relationship was very good. But...... Yes, it's true. For the sake of the team's summer plans, we couldn't renew his contract. "Cuban is also quite honest that everything he does is for the good of the team, so he is not afraid of any doubts.

"But ......" Yiyang didn't know what to say, the operation of the team was the boss's business, what could he change?

"Don't worry, Jett won't leave in vain. If all goes well, you may have to fight DeLong for the new season. Williams has partnered in the backcourt. ”

"Who?" At this moment, Yiyang's mind went blank directly.

"Delong. Believe me, Williams, you're going to be the most dangerous backcourt duo in the league. The corners of Cuban's mouth curled slightly, he was still secretly proud of his plan......
