Chapter 842: This is the inheritance

The battle with the Mavericks can be said to be the most lossy of Embiid's career. This guy not only lost, but he didn't even win Yiyang.

For Gobert, the game made him famous. The person who was originally famous was Embiid, but Gobert defended Embiid so badly that he took over Embiid's popularity.

Especially after Gobert assured Yiyang before the game that he would not let Embiid score more than 15 points, Gobert's popularity soared.

Before the start of this season, people said that the duo of Yiyang and Hayward would make it difficult for the Mavericks to do anything this season. After all, none of the Big Three are embarrassed to call themselves championship contenders.

However, unlike other teams whose fame is greater than their strength. Most of the Mavericks' players, on the contrary, are more powerful than famous.

Gobert was known as the "Half Giant" before the season, but this season he has been outstanding. Mitchell didn't know much before the start of the season, but now people see Wade's shadow in him. Rudy. Guy may have been forgotten, but he still shows great strength......

The Dallas Mavericks are like that, they always look mediocre, but they're actually extremely tough.

After crushing the 76ers, the Mavericks were left with only one opponent left in October, the Utah Jazz.

Although the Jazz team has a good strength of Hood and the "Spanish golden boy" Ricky who has just joined the team. Rubio, but their hard power is still not enough to compete with the Mavericks.

Hood and Rubio combined for 45 points, which can be described as doing their best. The Mavericks, on the other hand, scored double-doubles with five players and easily won an away game in Salt Lake City.

As expected, in the first month of the new season, the Mavericks played an all-out winning record! Although there are only half a month of games in October, it is still not easy to start the game with eight consecutive wins.

You know, it's pretty much a brand new Mavericks. Compared with previous seasons, their starting lineup has changed except for Yiyang and Gobert.

And this brand new team almost didn't have to run in and went straight to the top of the game.

After October, on the ESPN combat power index rankings, Mavericks soared from the original fifth to the first! It's no surprise that a team that wasn't favored before the start of the season is now ahead of the likes of the Warriors, Rockets and Thunder.

Now the whole world knows that the Mavericks are super strong teams, and they are completely different from the old dragon bells before. And every opponent who tried to achieve victory over their heads, without exception, failed.

On Nov. 1, the Mavericks challenged their old rival Clippers away. Although the Clippers are old rivals, after losing Paul, the Clippers' strength is naturally not as good as back then.

Relying on Griffin's "pseudo-champion" who has barely improved over the years, the Clippers "sank" in only three quarters. The Mavericks still had five players in double figures, Yiyang with 30 points, Hayward with 19 points, Mitchell with 18 points, Kuzma with 15 points, and Nowitzki with 13 points.

On the other hand, the Clippers, without the guidance of Paul, the "captain", Griffin and Jordan Jr. can only chisel on the inside, and the inefficiency can be known.

During the game, Griffin also deliberately smashed Kuzma's head with the ball to vent his grievances. But in the end, he still lost. This once glorious white monster is now losing and losing, and it is very down.

118-105, Yiyang led the Mavericks to nine consecutive wins in the opening game, and they still haven't tasted defeat!

On Nov. 3, the Mavericks welcomed Cousins and Anthony Brown. Davis' challenge for the league's No. 1 twin towers. Since Cousins joined the Pelicans in the middle of last season, the Pelicans have had high goals. This season, the run-in between Cousins and Davis has been very mature, and the Pelicans have also made people see a lot of surprises.

Before the game, Yiyang's old rival Cousins also threatened to end the Mavericks' undefeated golden body. However, this statement did not cause much trouble among the fans. Because the few people who said this before were all killed without exception.

While the Pelicans have improved a lot this season, they still don't think they can wrestle with the Mavericks. Without turning talent into tangible power, the Pelicans have no chance of winning.

In this game, Cousins and Davis teamed up to score 50 points and 35 rebounds! This explosive data made Goebel embarrassed!

Single-handedly facing Davis or Cousins, Gobert is not so embarrassed, but facing two super interior players at the same time, Gobert seems a little powerless.

The explosive data of the two looks very enjoyable. It stands to reason that if the two cores of a team play like this, then the team should not be able to lose.

However, that's the wonder of the Pelicans. Cousins and Davis' stats have historically been great, but the Pelicans have always missed out.

Because apart from these two big guys, the Pelicans don't have a third person who can stand up. In order to serve these two super interior players, the rest of the Pelicans seem to be out of the system and out of tune with the game.

While the commentators praised the magic of Cousins and Davis, Yiyang led the Mavericks to win the game silently.

99-94, the Pelicans' Super Twin Towers presented a visual feast for fans, but failed to add a win to the team. The Mavericks used their team strength to defeat the Pelicans Twin Towers, who could only play alone. The data of Yiyang and others may not be so explosive, but in the end, what fans remember is the winner with less beautiful data.

After the game, there was a tumult in the stands at the American Airlines Center Arena. With a 10-game winning streak, although the season has only just begun, fans seem to be able to foresee the Mavericks lifting the O'Brien Cup again after a year.

※※※

At the end of the game, the Mavericks, who had won 10 straight games, were in the locker room playing and joking, and the atmosphere was jubilant.

Last season's setbacks made the entire Mavericks look aging and weak. But this year, with a lot of new blood joining, the team has also undergone earth-shaking changes.

The whole dressing room has become more dynamic and the players have gotten along quite well with each other because of the winning streak.

After Yiyang returned to the locker room, he didn't rush to take a shower, but chatted with his teammates one by one. Some team leaders will let the whole team cater to them, but Yiyang will never do this.

He will take the initiative to find out what his teammates think about the game and their attitude towards the current situation. That's why the Mavericks are one of the most united teams in the league.

By the time Yiyang finished doing this and then took a shower and was ready to leave, the locker room was empty. Tomorrow, the Mavericks have another trip to Minnesota, where they have Jimmy Brown. The Timberwolves after Butler played back-to-back.

Before that, Yiyang just wanted to go home early and see his wife, mother and children. Although Vignari doesn't have to run around now, Yiyang still doesn't have much time to spend with his family.

This summer, in order to train and build a team, Yiyang was away from home for a long time, and he didn't even take his family out on a trip. Now that the season has begun, Yiyang is even more busy. In addition to competitions, various business activities and training also occupy a lot of Yiyang's time.

Unlike a few years ago, when I only knew how to play and train hard, Yiyang now longs for a family more than the basketball court.

When Yiyang walked out of the locker room door and walked through the players' tunnel to the underground parking lot, he was surprised to find that the door of the training hall was still hidden, and there was a "bang" sound from the basketball hitting the wooden floor.

This season, Yiyang has rarely practiced. And no one else in the entire Mavericks team except him would practice so late. What's more, there's still back-to-back games to play tomorrow. So who is still sweating at this time?

When Yiyang pushed open the door of the training hall, he saw a tall figure full of tattoos on the court, constantly projecting outside the three-point line.

"Kyle! What time is it, and we have to play tomorrow! Yiyang shouted, he didn't expect it to be Kuzma.

"Today I had a bad shot, too. I don't think about tomorrow, so I can only show this kind of performance! "Kuzma didn't look back and continued to focus on training.

In today's game, Kuzma made just 1 of 5 three-pointers, and there were many opportunities for big openings. Kuzma is worried about this. Although the Mavericks won, Kuzma was not happy with his performance.

The three-point shot is poor, and today he is desperately practicing the three-point shot, and he must throw the feel!

Yiyang, who had planned to go home, walked straight towards Kuzma, who was shirtless and sweaty, and looked like he had been training for a long time.

Before the draft, Yiyang had heard about Kuzma's deeds. When this guy was in college, his training was usually from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. As a player with mediocre talent, the only thing Kuzma can do is put in more sweat than others.

After all, as an older rookie, Kuzma has already lost at the "starting line" as soon as he entered the league. So, he's willing to work harder than everybody, and he's desperate to prove himself.

After watching Kuzma shoot a few baskets, Yiyang shook his head, "Stop, Kuz." Your muscles are already extremely tense from exhaustion, and training like this won't do you any good. ”

After listening to Yiyang, Kuzma really stopped his movements, "But I heard that you used to practice like this." ”

"That's because I'm stupid, Kuz. I have to give more time than others to catch up with them. ”

"Did I say I'm smart?" Kuzma smiled, then continued to throw.

This No. 0 striker is like he was defeated, and he is practicing all the time. Some people take a break when they earn their first big contract, but he never slacks off from the moment he was chosen, and he doesn't stop trying.

In Kuzma, Yiyang seems to see his former self.

Shaking his head, Yiyang walked out of the training ground. Before leaving, I didn't forget to come in and instruct, "Don't train too late, remember to rest." ”

On the night of seven years ago, Dirk also instructed Yiyang in the same way. From Dirk to Yiyang, and from Yiyang to Kuzma. Perhaps, this is the legacy of a team......
