After the short regular season MVP award ceremony, Yiyang became the focus of the entire world basketball sports media for a while.

As the MVP of the regular season, who is the highest honor of the individual, it is natural that he will be taken very seriously. Although Yiyang has been attracting attention since he entered the alliance, he has also lacked a certification from the official, which makes his strength somewhat "incorrect, not in good words". At the same time, people still can't equate him with a superstar.

When people talk about the best players in the world, they always say James, Durant, Kobe Bryant, or even the equally young Derrick. Ross. But when it comes to Yiyang, most people will only say that he still has a lot of room for development, in fact, people still don't recognize him as a player of the highest level.

But now, when everyone mentions Yiyang, they say, "Ah, that most incredible MVP? He's one of the best players in the world! ”

This is the change that the MVP trophy has brought to Yiyang. You have to sigh, that's what authority does!

Three years, from best sixth man to regular season MVP. As a Chinese defender, Yiyang's achievements are incredible in all eyes.

When people look back on Yiyang's basketball career, they find that his growth trajectory is always inseparable from the word "incredible".

In college, Yiyang's Bulldogs team created the Cinderella miracle, and they overthrew the traditional giants Duke Blue Devils to win the championship.

In the NBA draft, Yiyang became the second Chinese player in history to be selected in the top three. Previously, Yiyang's mock draft ranking was even after Hayward.

After joining the Mavericks, Yiyang and his teammates also defeated the Heat Big Three without being favored and won the championship.

And now, Yiyang is leading the Mavericks, who were originally thought to be barely able to make the playoffs, to enter the playoffs with an excellent result of third place in the West. And they also defeated the Grizzlies to advance to the Western Conference semifinals.

The most important thing is that Yiyang, as a Chinese defender who is not tall or strong, has surpassed LeBron. James, the "humanoid tank", won the MVP trophy under the vote of the basketball media around the world.

The drama of the little people's counterattack is also very popular even in the United States.

After the MVP award ceremony, Yiyang invited his teammates to his home with Stevens and Hayward for a small gathering. But at just ten o'clock in the evening, the reporters saw everyone disperse.

Yiyang doesn't plan to indulge himself after winning the MVP trophy, and he knows full well that tomorrow, a bigger game awaits the Mavericks.

Yiyang is not the kind of player who is easy to be satisfied, as long as there is a possibility of going further, Yiyang will stick to the end. After winning the MVP, Yiyang will want to win the championship. Even if he wins the championship, Yiyang will want to win the next championship.

It's possible that this guy won't stop chasing glory and victory for the rest of his career until the day he retires.

Coupled with Yiyang's incredible self-discipline, his expectations for success are not just fantasies.

Winning the MVP of the regular season is definitely something to celebrate. However, if Yiyang didn't want to thank everyone, maybe he wouldn't even have held this short little party.

When Yiyang's family dispersed, the reporters looked at Baiyan Lake under the moonlight, and they also felt tired. What an amazing day it was in the past 24 hours.

"Let's go, it's time for us to call it a day. Tomorrow night, there's a game, and we've got a mission! The reporters put away their cameras and stretched their waists one by one.

At this moment, the door of Yiyang's house was pushed open. The reporters were instantly alerted, and they were sure that the visitors had just left. So now, who is the person who came out of the house?

The guests are gone, and there is still the host. Yiyang and Wen Xue's mother and son came out with a few glasses of water, and the reporters were a little overwhelmed when they saw this scene.

"I'm sorry, but this is a private party, so I didn't invite you to sit down. The wind is still quite strong at night on the shore of Baiyan Lake, so let's go back and rest early. The faint smile on Wen Xue's face looked unexpectedly beautiful under the milky white moonlight.

The reporters were dumbfounded, the mother of this great player turned out to be so young.

Although Yiyang on the side did not speak, he also helped his mother give the water to the reporters.

The mother and son know that life is not easy, so they also understand the feelings of journalists who work hard to make a living. Although they are already MVPs, Yiyang and his mother have never forgotten where they came from.

Worn barbed wire, rusty baskets, potholes, and a dirty graffiti-covered apartment next to the court......

An Asian boy from Wood District, growing up.

※※※

A tall, lanky man stands in the elevator with his hood down, his head hanging low, his features obscured by shadows. But just by looking at the figure, people can guess who this guy is.

But seeing that guy standing quietly in the corner alone, no one dared to step forward to disturb him.

The other people in the elevator were either taking pictures of him or whispering to him. But the tall and thin man never looked up, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.

"Ding!" There was a noise in the elevator, and the tall and thin man knew that his floor had arrived.

Leaning against the corner, he stood up, and the others in the elevator immediately got out of the way.

As he stepped out of the elevator door, the tall and thin man paused.

"Thank you." From his hoarse throat, a simple word came out.

A tall, lanky man in a hood made his way through the busy nurses' station and headed straight for a ward, which was labeled with a special sign.

At the door of the ward, there were two strong black-clothed security guards, who were like two stone statues, motionless.

After seeing the tall and thin man approaching, the two "stone statues" turned sideways, and one of them opened the door for the tall and thin man.

"Thanks, has anyone been here in the afternoon?" The tall and thin man didn't walk in directly, but said a few words to the two security guards.

"Apart from his family, there are no other idle people waiting to disturb him in the afternoon. Now, Mr. Scott is inside. ”

"Hmm......" The tall and thin man poked his head and found that there was indeed a person standing in the room.

"Ahem!" The tall and lanky man deliberately cleared his throat in order to let the sick and visitors know that he had arrived.

The attention of the two men in the hospital room was immediately attracted by the voice, and when the man named Scott turned around, he looked a little shocked.

"Kevin, why are you here!? It's eleven o'clock in the evening, and you should be resting at home! "Scott. Brooks frowned, he didn't want his players to interfere with the game because they didn't sleep well!

"I just wanted to come and see my brother, don't worry, my sleep has always been good." The tall and lanky man finally took off his hood after entering the ward. There is no expression on Durant's face, and you don't know how this big boy who doesn't talk much is feeling at the moment.

"Hey, Kevin, you don't look good." On the hospital bed, lying is Westbrook, known as the "steel and iron bones". However, in the playoffs, the steel and iron bones still fell.

"I'm fine, Russell, at least I'll be able to stand here." It wasn't until he saw Westbrook that Durant finally had a smile on his face.

"Come to me at night for something, I can't practice with you now." Westbrook pointed to his exaggeratedly bandaged leg.

"It's nothing, it's just that my brother can bring me good luck before the big war starts." Durant reached out with a fist and gently touched Westbrook.

met the Mavericks in the playoffs for three consecutive years, and perhaps even Durant himself didn't expect him to be so fate with Yiyang.

The year before last, the Thunder suffered a heavy defeat, and it was he who comforted Westbrook at the door of the players' tunnel. Last year, the Thunder successfully toppled the Mavericks, and it was Westbrook who cheered wildly on the court. But this year, they can't fight side by side.

"I'm afraid you need more than just good luck, Kevin. Your opponent tomorrow, but the regular season MVP! ”

"Come on, Russell, Kevin didn't come to you in the hope that you would put a lot of pressure on him." Brooks interrupted the conversation with a wave of his hand.

"Regular season MVP? Aha, so what? The current calves have nothing to fear, they are too old, and we are in perfect shape! The Mavericks struggled to even beat the Grizzlies, and they couldn't get us in trouble at all. Don't forget, we still have home court advantage and I'm confident we can beat the Mavericks and advance to the quarterfinals! Westbrook immediately changed his face, it turned out that he was deliberately pretending to be deep just now.

"I know you're going to beat your nose and face to the point where you bruised and swollen, just like you did last year. Right? Kevin. ”

With Westbrook here, you won't feel the pressure at all. And that's why Durant wanted to see Westbrook on the eve of the big war.

With this optimistic guy, you can really relax.

"Of course, do you still need to say that? Recuperate from your injury, Russell, in the regular season of the new season, remember to come back to receive the championship ring. ”

"You'd better bring me the ring back to Oklahoma, Kevin."

Listening to the conversation between the two young men, Brooks shook his head. If Westbrook hadn't been injured, the Mavericks might really have nothing to worry about right now. But it's just that creation makes people.

Three-time scoring champion Durant singled out the regular season MVP Yiyang, I hope tomorrow's game will go well.......

Brooks sighed, the future of the Thunder is like a deep night sky outside the window, and you can't really see it.
