Chapter 596: You're just plain stupid

In the fourth season of his career, Yiyang was finally selected for the All-Star starting team in the western part of the country with strong guards. In the first two seasons, the Western Conference was still under the influence of Chris. Paul's reign. But this year, Yiyang has undoubtedly snatched the crown from Paul's head.

This is also the first Chinese player to become an All-Star ticket champion since 2006 after Yao Ming.

In the past, some ignorant media often questioned Yao Ming's winning of the vote king. Because of China's huge population, Yao Ming has an innate advantage in the ballots. However, when it comes to Yiyang, this kind of doubt is very small.

Most Chinese fans are sure, but Yiyang's strength is enough to support him for the title of All-Star Ticket King.

In addition to China, local fans in Dallas are also in a frenzy. This is another All-Star starter who came out of Dallas after Nowitzki!

From December 14, Yiyang scored 53 points to start the Mavericks' 23-game winning streak, and then broke the team's winning streak, Yiyang's flu battle, and after that, he is now selected as the All-Star starting lineup as the ticket king.

From the very beginning of this season, it seems that the news about Yiyang never stops. Every once in a while, Yiyang is able to stuff some "explosives" into the alliance.

Last season, Yiyang delivered the first masterpiece of his career in terms of personal data and performance. So this year, he will grow into a well-deserved superstar in the eyes of public opinion and the public.

was selected into the Western All-Star team as the ticket king, and Yiyang was naturally very happy. This shows that his efforts have been recognized by a huge fan base. Yiyang did not disappoint the fans, and the fans did not disappoint Yiyang.

Happy is happy, but Yiyang doesn't really care much about the All-Star Game. All-Star Weekend was a star-studded weekend, but it was just an entertaining weekend. Since it is an entertainment format, it will not affect the results of the season. At this time, Yiyang didn't pay much attention to things other than grades.

Compared to the All-Star Weekend itself, Yiyang is looking forward to the reunion with Vignari during the All-Star Game!

"You are truly my hero! All-Star ticket king, starting point guard in the West, hahahahaha, I knew you were the best! Vignarie's screams came from the receiver of the telephone, and it seemed that this Italian girl was more excited than Yiyang herself.

Wignarie has also participated in the NBA All-Star Weekend quite a few times, and she is even a veteran of the NBA Masters Game. But this time, Vignali was surprisingly excited.

In the past, when I went to All-Star Weekend, the stars who were on the court were just stars. They were unattainable, and they looked 108,000 miles away from themselves. But thinking that this time, the most high-profile character in the All-Star Game turned out to be his boyfriend! This kind of excitement is completely different from looking at other people.

"Don't worry, I'm only going to participate in the All-Star Game this year, and nothing else. So, there should be a lot of time to spend with you. Yiyang smiled at the earpiece, I really hope that All-Star Weekend can come soon.

In fact, fans are eager for Yiyang to participate in the Skills Challenge and Slam Dunk Contest. Yiyang's performance in the dunk contest the year before last, no one has been able to hire Mei. And Yiyang's lightning-fast speed and accurate passing skills also made fans eager to see what kind of results Yiyang could show in the skills challenge.

The alliance official really contacted Yiyang about this matter, but Yiyang refused without thinking about it.

First of all, participating in these two seasons would take up one of the few alone moments he and Vignari had. Secondly, Yiyang, who has already devoted himself to the championship plan, has no mind to prepare for the skill challenge and slam dunk contest now. And Yiyang is a person who strives for excellence, if he doesn't do it, he won't do it, and if he does, he will definitely do it well.

If he signs up for the Slam Dunk Contest and the Skills Challenge, he's bound to spend a lot of time preparing. If you are perfunctory, you will play, then it is not Yiyang's style of acting.

Therefore, Yiyang directly rejected the invitation. Fans want to see him perform, and they probably have to wait a few more seasons.

Hung up the phone with Vignarie, and things related to the All-Star Game were also "hung up" by Yiyang's brain. ”

Compared with the All-Star Game, the results of the regular season are what Yiyang values more.

Losing to the Rockets in the last game, Yiyang was actually quite aggrieved. The team played normally, but the opponent was in too good form and lost. Despite the loss, the Mavericks still have a 41-5 record that ranks first in the league. However, this game The Rockets also let other teams know that the Dallas Mavericks are not unbeatable!

Therefore, in Yiyang, it became popular, and in Yiyang, he just led the team to achieve the third longest winning streak in NBA history. The Sacramento Kings, who are only ranked third-to-last, dare to compete with the Mavericks!

DeMarcus. Cousins, a well-known "troubled teenager" in the NBA, does have a bit of a tendon at times. In the past, every time he met Yiyang, Cousins would open his big mouth and play tricks before the game. This time is no exception, in addition to the fact that the Mavericks just lost, Cousins also has an arrogant capital.

The Sacramento Kings, the belly team, are one of the five teams that beat the Mavericks this season!

"Everybody is afraid to fight the Mavericks, but we don't! You know, the last time the Dallas Mavericks ran into us, they lost by a full 11 points! In an interview with reporters, Cousins made no secret of his arrogance.

The five games the Mavericks have lost this season were to the Heat by three points, the Trail Blazers and Warriors by two points, and the Rockets by four points. The Sacramento Kings, on the other hand, were the only team to win over the Mavericks by double digits.

There is no shortage of examples in the NBA league where the weak beat the strong, and there are always a few strong teams that just can't beat the weak teams every season. The weak team is not weak, and the strong team is not strong, which is also the biggest attraction of the NBA.

At this time, Cousins must have thought that his Sacramento King was the nemesis of the Mavericks, the No. 1 in the league.

saw the video of Cousins being interviewed on the Internet, Yiyang didn't speak, and even wanted to laugh a little. He didn't know how Wall became friends with that stupid big man, and if he had been on the same team with Cousins in college, the two would have to fight every day!

Although Wall told Yiyang more than once that Cousins was actually quite cute. But Yiyang thinks Cousins is cute, but he is really stupid.

The Kings are certainly the only team that has been able to beat the Mavericks that badly this season, but that has to do with a variety of reasons. The last time the two sides met, the Kings played clearly above their average. Lian Derik. A guy like Williams, who averaged single-digit points per game, scored more than 30 points that day, so you can see how "exceeding" the Kings played. And there is another very important factor, Yiyang did not play because of the ban!

This time, the Mavericks are in good shape, and Yiyang has no possibility of a truce. He really didn't know where that stupid big guy from Cousins got his confidence!

Sure enough, on January 31, the latest game for BA to start was the matchup between the Dallas Mavericks and the Sacramento Kings.

Before the start of the game, Cousins showed off his might, facing the cameras of reporters, eager to lift his chin to the sky.

Between this big guy and Yiyang, it's really a disagreement. But after the game started, the identity of the Kings' Western underdog team was immediately beaten back to its original shape!

Rudy. Guy also wanted to use his impact to create damage like he did in the previous game, but Iguodala's defense made it impossible for this guy to rush.

Guy may still think that he is the star of the Grizzlies, but now he is no longer as brave as he used to be.

Cousins then also wanted to make a mistake on the inside, but Gobert, who was more mature than two months ago, made Cousins play very hard.

That big guy's arms seem to be waving in front of your eyes all the time, making it impossible for you to attack comfortably.

As for Derek, who scored 30 points on the Mavericks' head in the last game. Williams, who played his true level today, disappeared like air on the offensive end, which is the result of Derrick's normal play.

The offense was blocked, and the Kings were also losing on the defensive end. The offense led by Yiyang can't keep up with the Kings' group of guys who are bottom in the West can parry.

Plus Isaiah, who is opposite Yiyang today. Thomas, who is only 1.75 meters tall. As a high point guard, Yiyang naturally plays with ease in front of Thomas Jr. Many times, even if Yiyang shoots directly, Thomas Jr. is helpless.

From the first minute of the first quarter until the electronic beep sounded to mean the end of the game, the Kings didn't take a single point lead.

Cousins made 21 wild shots in the game, but he was impatient and only hit eight of them. Although he scored 19 points, the 38.1 percent shooting percentage was undoubtedly quite embarrassing for an interior player.

Rudy. Gay still had 20 points on his back against Iguodala, but 20 points didn't help the Kings win at the Center Arena on American Airlines.

As for Thomas Jr., who has made significant progress this season and has averaged 20.3 points per game, he was shot 0 out of 10 by Yiyang. That's right, Yiyang ruthlessly kept Thomas Jr. clean. In basketball, it is definitely not easy to keep a clean sheet against an opponent, even if it is only an opponent who is 1.75 meters tall.

112-101, the Mavericks gave the Kings an 11-point victory. Yiyang had 36 points and 8 assists in the game, facing Isaiah. Thomas is better than none of the defense, and Yiyang has increased the number of shots he has made, so the number of assists has decreased.

After the game, Cousins, who was already bullish, frowned and refused to be interviewed by all reporters. And Yiyang, who was silent before the game, happened in front of the camera instead.

"I have a lot of thanks to the Sacramento Kings and DeMarcus. Cousins, thank you from the bottom of my heart. Because without them, we wouldn't have won another game so quickly! It's a great 'appetizer' after a loss, thank you King and DeMarcus for your hospitality! Yiyang replied solemnly, making the reporters shake their heads.

If Cousins saw this interview video, he would probably go crazy at home.

Beating the Kings at home saved the Mavericks from a losing streak. And this game has also become the beginning of another series of wins for the Mavericks.

Heading into February, the Mavericks didn't have a very strong opponent.

They first defeated the Knights, who were at the bottom of the East, and then defeated Tony. Allen's old club, Grizzlies. Finally, in Salt Lake City, Yiyang meets his old friend Hayward. But the record of the two sides has always been Yiyang to win more, and this time is no exception.

Easily, the Mavericks' winning streak came to four more before they knew it. After the game, Hayward congratulated Yiyang on being selected to the All-Star starting lineup and playing well. But this time, in addition to cheering each other up, they had another topic to talk about.

"You have to be more careful in the game the day after tomorrow."

"Do you know who I'm fighting the day after tomorrow?" Yiyang smiled, Hayward was still as meticulous as before.

"Of course I knew I was looking forward to that game at the start of the season. I'll just give you one piece of advice, don't think of them too simply! Hayward patted Yiyang on the shoulder, his expression not at all like a joke.

Yiyang couldn't help but put away the expression of the hippie smile, it seems that the retreating battle of Boston may be more difficult than he imagined.

Right? Brad. Coach Stevens.
