Just one day after the start of the Mavericks' pregame training camp, the Knicks and the Mavericks officially announced that the Knicks got the "boxing champion" Tyson of the Mavericks last season through a three-way trade, in the form of a sign-and-trade deal. Chandler.

After seeing the news, Yiyang immediately dialed Chandler's phone, and soon, Chandler personally admitted the fact that he was traded.

"Cuban doesn't think I'm worth a four-year, $56 million contract, and he's all about next summer's free agent market, like we can just skim through this season. Seriously, I gave my all for the Mavericks, and I won the first championship of my career in Dallas. I love the city of Dallas and the Mavericks as a group. But I didn't expect that just a year later, I would be ruthlessly abandoned by the Mavericks because of the problem of money! I can't understand, to be honest, what Cuban and the team are doing breaks my heart! ”

On the phone, Chandler made no secret of his disappointment with the Mavericks. Originally, at the championship parade in the summer, Chandler also said that he would continue to bring more championship trophies to the Mavericks. Ironically, he is no longer playing for the defending champions.

"Tyson, aren't you going to come back?" Yiyang still can't accept this fact, if he broke up with the Bulldogs and Hayward and others, it was because he had to go further. Now that he has broken up with his brother who once won the championship together, Yiyang is a little incomprehensible. Why can't a championship squad be saved for next season?

What Yiyang doesn't know is that the NBA, a major commercial league, is much more complicated than the NCAA.

"It's not possible, and when we meet again next season, I'll be wearing the New York Knicks jersey. But don't worry, I'll treat you to dinner when you get to New York, hahaha. ”

Chandler's hearty laughter eased the sad atmosphere a little. As Carlisle said, there's nothing they can do about personnel changes. The only thing you can do as a player is to keep putting on good performances and then lead the team forward.

Two hours later, DeSean. Stevenson, a defensive giant, called Yiyang. But what Ling Yiyang didn't expect was that Stevenson called to say goodbye.

"I've signed with the Nets, and Cuban is now full of superstars for next summer. But I also understand, after all, it would be nice for an old player like me to get a job, haha. Well done, too. This season, Cuban will definitely focus on supporting you. When the time comes, you'll be the top spot of the Mavericks. If the Nets and Mavericks meet, I'm not going to let you score easily. Don't let up, boy! ”

Stevenson is different from Chandler in that the veteran is very open-minded and is not furious that the Mavericks do not renew his contract. After all, this is the fifth transfer of Stevenson's career. His mentality is even better than that of Yiyang, an outsider.

"I heard Jett say that you were furious on the training ground because of our departure?" Seeing that Yiyang didn't speak for a long time, Stevenson continued to open the chatterbox.

"It's not a fuss, it's just ......"

"There's nothing surprising about that, boy. Over the course of your long career, you'll see off one teammate after another, and then you'll welcome one new partner after another. Maybe yesterday's enemy will become your right-hand man the next. That's professional basketball, not a college game, kid. If you want to survive in this league for the long term, you have to get used to that. Don't let these things affect your preparation, I heard that your kid has grown a lot this season. On the pitch, I'd love to test your play-up skills. ”

Don't look at Stevenson's usual image of a thug, but in fact, he sees many things more thoroughly than those guys in suits and leather shoes. It's hard to imagine that a guy who usually hangs out in a street gang can say enlightening things to Yiyang, but this is Stevenson, who only says important things to the people who matter to him.

Hanging up the phone, Yiyang let out a long sigh. He never imagined that the birthday party at Nowitzki's house in the summer would be the last goodbye to some of his teammates. People have feelings, but business is cold. Yiyang is now beginning to understand why people say that the NBA is a cruel and cold league. The reason why Yiyang didn't feel this way last season was not because the league was not cold enough, but because the Mavericks last season were too warm.

Today's situation is just two ordinary cases of the NBA's thousands of trades. Professional basketball, Yiyang's cognition of these four words seems to be becoming more and more thorough.

Although Yiyang felt very disappointed about the departure of Chandler and Stevenson. But the young defender gathered his mood and headed for the training center at the American Route Center.

The footsteps of the new season are getting closer, and the Mavericks still haven't even assembled a full roster. As the starting point guard for the Mavericks next season, Yiyang will have to adapt to a variety of tactical changes and staffing. If even the brains of a team don't know what to do on the field, then how can that team be combative?

So in this year's pre-season training camp, Yiyang is the one with the largest amount of tasks. As personnel changes occur, so does Carlisle's tactics. Carlisle's tactics have changed, and Yiyang's organization and control of the rhythm on the field will also change.

Yiyang and Carlisle try a variety of different tactical possibilities every day, but fortunately, Yiyang can change freely under various tactical requirements with the help of Kidd. If it were any other young point guard, the player might have messed up on his own.

Of course, in addition to training and tactics, the Mavericks' locker room has also changed dramatically in the past few days.

※※※

On December 13, early in the morning, Yiyang came to the locker room as always. The training volume has been very heavy in the past few days, and Yiyang also feels very tired. After all, it takes a process to get used to transitioning from a relaxing holiday to a season-ready state.

The locker room was empty, and Yiyang put the benches in the locker room neatly one by one before he began to open his locker to change clothes. His unique habit is still due to the "Administrator" Cardinal. Of course, this is also because Yiyang really regards the locker room as his home, so he attaches so much importance to the environment inside.

Just as Yiyang was tying the laces of his sneakers, the door of the locker room was slammed open. In the past, it was basically Yiyang who came first, and Nowitzki second. So today, Yiyang also thought that Nowitzki had walked into the locker room, so he didn't look up to see who it was, and then spoke.

"Shall we go shoot 300 baskets first?" Yiyang tied his shoelaces while talking to the comer. The 300-shot warm-up was a "reserved item" for him and Nowitzki's preseason training camp.

"300? God, no wonder you're progressing so fast! ”

After hearing this answer, Yiyang, who was originally tying his shoes, raised his head suddenly. This voice doesn't belong to Dirk! Even, not anyone he knew.

When Yiyang saw the man who was smiling in front of him at the moment, he felt both familiar and unfamiliar. is familiar because this man Yiyang has seen it before, and he has seen it countless times. And strange, because this man should not have belonged in this locker room.

"What's the matter, boy, don't you know me?" The bald man with the beard still maintained a kind smile, while Yiyang was stunned in his seat.

"Card ...... Carter!? Yiyang said the man's name in a hurry.

"Hahahaha, I thought that young people nowadays don't know who I am. That's right, it's me, Vince. Carter. This season, we're teammates, too. Carter warmly shook hands with Yiyang, and this historic buckle will also not be the first time to experience a transfer. How to get along with new teammates, Carter is very knowledgeable.

"Teammates?" Yiyang turned his head again and looked at the cabinet that used to belong to Peja, only to find that a new name had been written on the cabinet: "Vince Carter".

"Do you need to be so surprised? It's not been a day or two since I was with the Mavericks. Carter saw that Yiyang couldn't speak for a long time, so he continued to joke with Yiyang.

"I ...... I don't know these ......" Yiyang as a whole has no knowledge of the various rumors of the alliance except for training wholeheartedly and training wholeheartedly. That's why he was so surprised by Carter's arrival. Before that, Yiyang never thought that this would happen.

Although Vince. Carter has yet to win a championship trophy, and in terms of personal honors and statistics, he is not as dazzling as Kobe Bryant and others. But in the eyes of many fans, Carter is still one of the best basketball players in the world. His astonishing aerial performances in his youth have been talked about by a generation of fans to this day.

Although Carter, who was born in January '77, is almost 35 years old, although he has rarely staged shocking dunks for fans. But last season, Carter averaged 27 minutes per game and still contributed 13.5 points. This is already a very good result for a veteran. Carter's arrival also announced that Cuban had found a perfect replacement for Stevenson.

"I've seen most of your dunks last season, and seriously, your explosiveness is amazing. Hey, I'll be on the training ground later, maybe, I can teach you a few moves? Carter winked at Yiyang, and at the mention of basketball, the distance between Yiyang and Carter instantly narrowed.

Another legendary name, and Yiyang appeared in the same locker room. What kind of changes will Carter's joining bring to Yiyang and the Mavericks?

New teammates, new season. Everything around me seems to have changed. For the next new year, Yiyang has been looking forward to it more and more......
