"Incredible Chinese!"

After the series ended, the media across the United States gave Yiyang such a title. 4-0, the Mavericks cleanly took out the Los Angeles Clippers. was originally considered to be the most suspenseful set of matchups, but the winner was decided early.

"I'm sure the fans of the Los Angeles Clippers will never forget this young point guard, who completely interrupted the Clippers' five-year playoff dream."

Seeing the red light on the rebound, Paul put on the hood on his training jersey. He stared blankly at the big screen of the scene, looking at the desperate number. 109-98, Los Angeles Clippers, out!

This isn't the first time Paul's dreams have been shattered, so he's just facing it all with a blank face. But in fact, "Queen Bee" was very distressed in her heart, thinking that everything would start again when she arrived in Los Angeles. As everyone knows, the final outcome is still the same as before.

Looking at Yiyang, who was worshiped by the fans, Paul took the initiative to walk up and walked in front of Yiyang.

Yiyang looked at Paul with some surprise, Paul didn't say anything, and hugged Yiyang. After that, he still didn't say anything and left alone.

This is Paul's recognition of the younger generations, and of course, it is also a challenge. "You won this year, and next year, I won't lose again."

"What did that guy say to you?" Kidd curiously leaned up to ask Yiyang, who stared at Paul's fading back and shook his head slightly.

"No, he didn't say anything, but he said everything......"

Chris. Paul, what an interesting opponent.

The day after the game, the Los Angeles press blamed the Clippers' losses on injuries to Griffin and Paul. For the strength of this swept out, the injury is simply a perfect excuse.

"If it weren't for the injuries of Griffin and Chris, we should have advanced now!"

"Chris's injury came at a bad time, otherwise there would have been no chance to beat him."

"This is just Paul's first season with the Clippers, and they still have a long way to go. I believe that in the future, the results of the Clippers will be even better! ”

Fans and media in Los Angeles are numbing their nerves with all kinds of rhetoric, and they just don't want to admit that Yiyang and Mavericks are indeed unexpectedly powerful!

Griffin went off to his vacation with peace of mind under these excuses, while Chris. What about Paul? He didn't listen to the of the media, and on the first day after the holiday, he started to make a training plan.

The duel with Yiyang had a great impact on Paul. If you don't work hard and stagnate, sooner or later you will be overtaken by rising stars!

Before the game, the round of the game, which was called "the most suspenseful" by the media, ended with a 4-0 result. This can't help but make people think about whether the outside world is too optimistic about the Mavericks, or whether the Mavericks have played at an over-level level throughout the series.

With the end of the tussle with the Clippers, the Mavericks players finally got a little respite. Currently, the Thunder, who are second in the West, and the Nuggets, who are seventh in the West, are in a fierce battle. The winner of these two teams is the opponent of the Mavericks in the next round of games.

At the moment, the Thunder have taken a 3-0 lead, and their results have not surprised the media in the slightest.

If a year ago, the Thunder were just a young guard in people's hearts. Now, they've grown into a true powerhouse in the West.

The matchup with the Thunder may be a few days away, but Carlisle decided to give the team a day off first. Rest may be more important than training in the current situation.

※※※

The Mavericks made the cut, and the team had a day off, which made the Center Arena empty in an instant.

Yiyang still came to the door of the stadium early in the morning today, but he didn't go in first.

"The team doesn't train today, too." Seeing Yiyang standing at the door of the stadium, the doorman Lao Ian was a little strange. This kid knows the degree, and he doesn't run to train when he needs to rest.

Yiyang turned his head to look at the old doorman and smiled slightly. "I know I'm here today for a business event to take a cover photo of an NBA2K game."

"Oh? You're busy right now. Old Ian laughed, Yiyang really grew up under his gaze.

From being questioned when he first entered Dallas, to now hanging his poster in the center of the American Airline Center arena. Everything Yiyang has experienced has exceeded what old Ian imagined at the beginning.

"So, you're the cover character of this year's NBA2K game!?"

"I, Derek. Ross also has Kevin. Durant. Yiyang compared three fingers, and he didn't become the cover character alone, which is indeed a pity.

"Then I must buy one for my grandson this year, he must like it!"

"No, old Ian. If I can, I'll send you a collector's edition. ”

The two were chatting, and the 2K photography team had already rushed over with long guns and short guns.

Ian opened the doors to the arena for them, and it was the first time the veteran janitor had been in Dallas for the first time to shoot a game cover.

Yiyang waved goodbye to Lao Ian, and then led the photography team into the training ground to start shooting.

Looking at the group of people who walked into the arena, Old Ian shook his head.

"Do you know what was going through my mind when I first saw you here, Yi?" Old Ian muttered to himself at the gate. "I'm thinking, there's another bad guy in Dallas!"

Indeed, Ian Sr. has seen countless young and highly talented point guards come here, only to be reluctant to leave. That's true for Kidd, that's true for Nash, and it's true for Harris.

But this time...... Ian Sr. believes he may never see or leave the U.S. Airline Center. This Chinese, like Dirk, is slowly growing into the flag of Dallas.

After a day of vacation, Yiyang finally got the 2K game cover shooting. And the old guys of the Mavericks have also been well rested and ready to meet the challenges of the next round of games.

Today, the Thunder and Nuggets will face off in Game 5. If the Nuggets win, then the Mavericks continue to rest. If the Thunder win, it indicates that Yiyang's opponent in the second round will be stronger.

So in today's training, Carlisle also plans to completely arrange tactics according to the characteristics of the Thunder team. Although the Nuggets struggled to win one back, Carlisle knew very well that they couldn't screw the Thunder's youth army.

In the locker room, energetic players are rushing to change their equipment. After the elimination of the Clippers, everyone was very excited. The first round was easily passed, and it has already made people see the perfect transition between the old and the new in the Mavericks.

Nowitzki took a back seat, and Yiyang led the team to a soaring victory. And Yiyang's flying this season has made Old Kidd much less exposed.

"Jason, where did you go on holiday yesterday?" In the locker room, the players chatted as they changed their equipment. Nowitzki casually asked Kidd a question, and everyone didn't take it too seriously.

"Yesterday? I took care of the garden at home, watered, weeded and stuff. ”

"Oh my god Jason, are you already old aged?" Terry immediately turned on his own spit mode, but the Mavericks players always seemed to ignore the fact that Kidd was really old.....

"Let's go, accompany me to practice first." After Kidd changed his clothes, he stood up and staggered twice. As always, Kidd would always call Yiyang to go out with him to warm up. Yiyang will never refuse, after all, this is the person he respects the most in the entire locker room.

"How are you doing lately?" In the player tunnel, Yiyang also asked about Kidd's situation again. Now Kidd will no longer be surprised by Yiyang's concern, but has long been accustomed to it.

"It's almost 40 years old, and it's not much better. How so? It's not good, it's not bad, hahaha. Kidd laughed and covered up his distress, I hope he can get through this year's playoffs safely.

Everything went according to plan, Yiyang and Kidd warmed up on the field, and gradually, more and more players also appeared on the training ground. Finally, Carlisle blew a whistle and brought everyone together. After simply laying out the planned tasks, everyone is going their own way.

Yiyang's main training is a breakthrough layup training under confrontation, which requires three trainers to hold a cushion and fight against Yiyang fiercely. And Yiyang has to complete a breakthrough layup in a high-intensity confrontation.

There is no doubt that this training session was specially prepared for Yiyang against Westbrook. Westbrook is the most physically fearsome defender in the league, and if Yiyang wants to beat him, he will have to get used to the feeling of high-intensity confrontation.

As for Yiyang's substitute Kidd, he simply practiced these steps sideways. For veterans, the amount of training is too much, and it is a thing that outweighs the loss.

At the end of the training, Carlisle still arranged confrontational training for the players. Only training that is close to actual combat is the best way to test the results.

Although it was a confrontational drill, the Mavericks players rarely got injured during this drill. After all, everyone is on a team, they know how to protect each other, and they will not maliciously foul.

Yiyang faced Kidd, who came from possession, and he wouldn't even go all out to fight against it. The tight schedule this season has been a torment for the "aging" Kidd, with a variety of injuries coming his way, with back, calf and groin injuries keeping him out for many games this season. Yiyang didn't want this old guy to be injured again under his own defense.

However, Kidd's body is already very fragile, and sometimes it's not someone else who hurts him, it's himself who hurts himself......

In one defense, Yiyang's sudden sprint made him easily snatch the basketball from Kidd's hand. In order to put pressure on Yiyang, Kidd did not hesitate to immediately turn around and rob back. Since Yiyang is fast, Kidd must also use his strength quickly to ensure that he can keep up with Yiyang before he gets rid of him.

Because of this, Kidd exerted too much force, coupled with sweat on the training ground, the veteran suddenly slipped and fell to the ground, while Kidd, who was originally in a running position, was pulled diagonally on his thighs!

"Ahh

With a scream, Kidd clutched his thighs in pain on the ground, sweating and gritting his teeth.

Yiyang immediately threw away the basketball and rushed to the treatment room to call out to his teammates. Carlisle also hurried onto the pitch, fists clenched.

Earlier, Kidd told himself he wanted to retire after this season. Last year, Carlisle was able to use Yiyang's growth to persuade Kidd to stay. But this year, Carlisle has no reason to thwart Kidd again.

Kidd knew his physical condition, and Carlisle knew what Kidd was thinking. If the injury is serious this time......

If it's serious, then Kidd's career may have to come to an end......
