Watching a yellow-skinned guy step onto the court, Peyton's face was full of doubt. It's not that this guy has a racist plot, but what kind of wonderful slam dunk performance can an Asian bring to the fans?

"Are you okay?" Peyton exaggerated his expression of disgust, of course, he didn't really dislike Yiyang, just to stir up the atmosphere of the scene.

Yiyang was still wearing a hat and sunglasses, and didn't seem to plan to take them off. Then Yiyang took the basketball from Peyton's hand and slapped it twice.

"Are you sure you don't take off your sunglasses and baseball cap? Let's hope your face doesn't hit the rebound. ”

When Peyton said this, the crowd burst into laughter. After all, this Asian is really nothing special except for his height and arm span. People don't seem to be expecting Yiyang's dunk to be good, but expecting this masked man to make a fool of himself.

After standing there and thinking for a while, Yiyang walked over to Payton and handed the ball to the former NBA superstar.

He asked Payton to hold up the basketball with one hand and raise his arm in the air, apparently hoping that Payton would be one of the props in his dunk performance. Seeing this, everyone was even more excited.

When everything was ready, Yiyang motioned for the crowd to disperse, then stepped back to a position two steps beyond the three-point line. In the next second, Yiyang suddenly started! This guy started up so quickly that the onlookers on the sidelines were taken by surprise!

In the blink of an eye, Peyton saw the Asian in the baseball cap rush in front of him! Then the yellow-skinned guy jumped high and grabbed the basketball that was lifted by Payton in the air.

After grabbing the basketball, Yiyang did not dunk directly, but spread his legs when he was in the air, changed the basketball from his crotch to his right hand with his left hand, and then smashed the ball into the basket with his right hand!

The whole action is done in one go and is very smooth. When Yiyang landed, Peyton stared at the guy next to him in surprise. He even wondered if this person was deliberately arranged by Sprite. He was lucky enough to find a random onlooker to complete such a difficult dunk, so he was too lucky!

The whole stadium was silent for half a second, and then, everyone cheered! Vignari happily jumped out of the crowd and hugged Yiyang on the field.

"Did you see his surprised expression?! Haha, you're awesome! To everyone's surprise, the picture that Vignari imagined really appeared.

"Hey, boy! You're scaring me! After that, Peyton also came up and took the initiative to high-five Yiyang. I've never heard of you before. ”

Yiyang was also a little excited to see Peyton, a living legend, standing in front of him. He looked at the surprised "Gloves", hugged the legendary defender, and whispered a word in Payton's ear. "I work for the Dallas Mavericks."

Hearing this, Peyton's eyes widened suddenly, but he quickly regained his composure. He said, if there is such a great street ball player in Dallas, how can he not know. Turns out, this guy isn't a damn streetball player at all!

"You should thank me, boy, because I didn't intend to tell them who you are. If I say you're Yiyi, you don't want to get out of here today. Peyton spread his hands and motioned for Yiyang and Vignari to step off the field.

After Yiyang's dunk performance, Payton began to stir up the atmosphere of the second half of the game. Yiyang and Vignary, on the other hand, quietly left the court after Payton distracted the crowd of onlookers.

After breaking away from the crowd, Vignali looked at Yiyang, who also looked at the Italian girl. The two looked at each other and smiled, this half-day vacation was really beautiful......

Relaxed times are always short-lived, and even though the sun is still shining, Yiyang and Vignari have to say goodbye. In order to avoid being chased by the media, Yiyang did not send Vignali back to her hotel, and Vignali did not accompany Yiyang home, and the two waved goodbye on the streets of Dallas.

Yiyang returned home with a good mood and warm sunshine in the afternoon, and the fatigue left by yesterday's game seemed to have been swept away.

As soon as he stepped into the house, Yiyang received a text message from Vignarie. Text messages are simple and only one sentence.

"Thank you for the photos you took for me."

The half-day vacation made the Mavericks players in a much better state of mind the next day. Some people take advantage of the half-day holiday to rest at home, while others go out with family and friends. Either way, everyone was relaxed.

That's why Carlisle decided to take a half-day off, and when the players stepped into the training pitch with a relaxed mood and body, the quality of training today would undoubtedly get better.

Yiyang was still the first to come to the training ground today, and when he changed into his training clothes and stepped into the field, even Carlisle hadn't come yet.

As always, Yiyang first warmed up and then began to practice his shooting.

But within minutes of throwing, the door to the training ground was pushed open. But today, the second person to walk into the training ground was not Carlisle, but Peja, who had a beard on his chin.

"You're here for breakfast? I brought my wife's handmade ham sandwich. Peja said, finding a place to sit down. It seems that it was too early today, so Peja didn't even have time to eat breakfast.

"I've eaten it, thank you." Yiyang was a little overwhelmed, although this boy who didn't talk much had a good relationship with his teammates, he was still not very good at chatting.

"In the game the day before yesterday, you made a good three-point shot." Peja nibbled on a sandwich while chatting with Yiyang.

"Hmm...... I used the method you taught me. Yiyang knows that Peja's guidance has played a big role in the improvement of his three-point shot.

"Haha, it's not something I can learn by teaching. Or if you work hard enough, if the three-point shot is so easy to learn, I will also open a training camp like Olajuwon. That way, I can retire with peace of mind. ”

"By the way, the last game...... I've been terrible and wasted a lot of your good passes. I'll get the feel of the game as soon as I can, and tomorrow I'll be where I should be. In the last game, Peja hit two three-pointers at the start of the second quarter and didn't score again. In fact, it wasn't just Peja, except for Yiyang and Nowitzki, who broke out in the last quarter, everyone was not in good shape that day.

"I'll pass the ball through."

"Aren't you afraid that I'll waste your magic biography again?"

"Waste? You're a legendary shooter! ”

Looking at Yiyang, Peja smiled and shook her head. This guy is full of confidence at all times. Not only to himself, but also to his teammates, Yiyang is also full of confidence.

Since being traded to the Pacers, Peja seems to have faded into the limelight. But is this going to sink like this? Do you want to be like Webb who can't touch a championship ring for the rest of his life?

The answer is no! So, the guy chose the Dallas Mavericks, and when Cuban told him that "our goal is to win the championship," Peja knew he wasn't here to eat and die. Championship, he has to do his part!

After eating the sandwich, Peja rested for a while, and then threw himself into training with Yiyang. Since then, the melodious sound of the basketball and the net rubbing against the net has been echoing in the training hall continuously......

April 19, 7 p.m. Dallas, U.S. Route Center Arena.

Police cars with flashing lights stopped on the side of the road, and police officers in bright yellow reflective vests stood on the side of the street in groups of two or three, rustling from the walkie-talkie pinned to their shoulders.

A group of Mavericks fans in blue T-shirts pumped their fists and shouted slogans toward the arena.

The police stared at the group of fans walking in front of them, tilting their heads to report to the intercom the latest situation in their precinct.

"We're in good shape here, everything is normal, it's over."

"Whew...... The north gate of the arena ...... Normal, done......"

Helicopters flew over the heads of police officers and fans, blowing a gust of wind. The news helicopter of the TV station, only in the air can you discover how spectacular the scene is at this time.

"Look at Charles, I feel like half of Dallas is here right now. The Dallasians' passion for basketball has never diminished, and hopefully, this season, the Mavericks won't let this group of fans down. "The game hasn't started yet, but Kenny on the commentary stand. Smith and Charles. The signal of the TV station was up. These two old partners also chatted.

"The Dallas Mavericks have never disappointed this season and this game is important for them today. If the score becomes 2-0, the whole series will be different. There must be a lot of tension in their dressing room right now. Barkley smiled, a little impatient for the game to start soon.

At this point, Carlisle had just walked to the door and closed the door to the locker room. The noise suddenly became much quieter, at least now everyone could hear him talking.

The manager didn't say much, but began to repeat the tactical arrangements that the players were already familiar with.

“...... I don't want to say the importance of this game, you know, if we can go to Portland with a 2-0 scoreline, then the pressure will be all on the opponent! Good job, McMillan thinks it was luck and the referee's partiality that saved us in the last game. So today, let's let him know that we have won the right thing! With everything said and done, Carlisle waved his hand and let the players warm up on the pitch.

A group of strong men walked out of the locker room, and Peja walked side by side with Yiyang.

"Man, in a few hours, the tone of our series will be revealed." Peja spoke with a thick European accent and spoke to Yiyang. 2-0, everyone knows what that score means.

"We're going to win, just fight to the end." Yiyang moved his muscles and bones, and he was ready to fight a tough battle.

"That's right, boy, just fight to the end." And today, Peja, the old guy who didn't perform well in the last game, seems to be a little impatient.
