On the first day of coming to Milan, Yiyang fully felt the great charm of the city. That night, he and Vignali stayed late in the fashion capital before returning to the hotel, and they couldn't get enough of it.

So, the two young people vented their excess energy on each other again. After a rainy night in Italy, the two finally slept honestly.

Every day after that, Yiyang felt that it passed quickly. Sforza Castle, Via Manzoni, Monastery of Santa Maria, Porta de la Paix...... The famous attractions in the city of Milan have left a deep impression on Yiyang.

When Yiyang visited the San Siro Arena, AC Milan officials also invited Yiyang to their in-house showroom. and specially printed an AC Milan red and black sword stripe jersey with No. 1 and his name for Yiyang. Yiyang held his own AC Milan jersey, and the two sides took pictures. After uploading it on social media, it attracted the attention of a large number of fans, forming a win-win situation.

Yiyang didn't expect that he could be treated like this in Milan, in fact, this guy's fame has far exceeded his imagination. Anyway, he's also the No. 2 man on that championship Mavericks.

It's a pity that it's the offseason of Serie A, so Yiyang couldn't feel the charm of Italian football on the spot. But being warmly welcomed by AC Milan is already satisfied.

In the following days, Yiyang and Vignari moved to another city. Florence, Turin, Rome, Venice...... They have traveled all over Italy, and Yiyang has gone from knowing nothing about Vignarie's hometown to loving it now.

Although on July 1, the collective bargaining between the players' union and the league officially broke down, and the shutdown for next season was a foregone conclusion, and the players were faced with nothing to do. But even so, it still can't stop Yiyang's enthusiasm for traveling in Italy. played with Vignari until July 15, when Yiyang finally parted ways with the girl and took the flight back to Dallas.

Although they are very reluctant to give up each other, Yiyang must also find some time to spend with his mother. Besides, the two young people, who are already very close, will definitely get together again in the near future.

Bidding farewell to Italy, Yiyang's body and mind have also been greatly relaxed. After half a month of adjustment, he plunged headlong into holiday training. For Yiyang, that is the most important thing for him this holiday.

"Why are there so many gifts?" When Wen Xue opened the door to welcome her son, she thought she had seen a Santa Claus from China. Standing at the door of the house, Yiyang carried a large number of gifts in his hands, like a Christmas tree full of gift boxes.

"Brought something to a lot of people, Mom, and yours too!" Yiyang smiled and put the gift by the door, Wen Xue, Moodier, Carlisle, Nowitzki, Terry, Stevens, Hayward...... Yiyang brought almost all his friends souvenirs bought back from Milan, and this child usually looks cold. But in his heart, he remembered all the people who were good to him.

When he was in Wood, Yiyang saw almost all the darkest side of the world. But after joining the NBA, a so-called "cold" league, Yiyang found the warmth in human nature.

That night, Yiyang visited the Moodier family with gifts. Moodier was a lot taller than the last time they met, and of course, stronger.

As is customary, Yiyang and Moodier singled out a few balls on the backyard basketball court before dinner. Although Yiyang won very easily, he also knew that Moodier's strength was far better than that of his own age.

"Do you want to go to college or go straight to professional basketball?" After the meal, Yiyang and Moodier chatted seriously. Yiyang certainly knew that Moody's family was in need of money, but he also knew how important a college basketball experience was for a player who aspired to make it to the NBA.

High school geniuses such as Garnett, Kobe Bryant and Howard are just one example, and most people still have to go through college basketball before they can truly reach their full potential.

Faced with Yiyang's inquiry, Moodier hesitated. Of course, he would love to go to college, but his family conditions and his grades in school made it difficult for him to do so.

Yiyang didn't continue to ask, but patted Moodier on the shoulder. This guy is still too young, and when he really needs to make decisions and choices, it's not too late to give him advice.

In the following half a month, Yiyang took his mother Wen Xue to play in the surrounding cities. At the end of July, when Yiyang returned to Dallas again, Bill. Duffy already has news of a personal trainer.

"Los Angeles, man, we're going to Los Angeles!" Duffy's tone on the phone was very excited, as if it was him and not Yiyang who were about to participate in the training camp.

"Los Angeles? Is the trainer in Los Angeles? ”

"What star doesn't love Los Angeles in the summer? There are not only training camps, but also a variety of business activities. I've got everything laid out for you, you just need to pack your bags and fly to the "City of Angels", and I'll take care of the rest! Duffy, who was on the side, patted his chest, he believed that his arrangement would definitely satisfy Yiyang.

"Bootcamp? A bootcamp where I'm the only one? ”

"No, man. To improve yourself during the holidays, you need a strong group of opponents in addition to good trainers! Trust me, neither the trainer nor the opponent will let you down! As he spoke, Duffy laughed wickedly. Being able to train with those guys for a vacation, Yiyang's strength will definitely improve by leaps and bounds!

Summer in Los Angeles is always dotted with bright stars!

In the eyes of many, "Magic" Johnson's entry into the league in 1979 was the standard for the start of the modern NBA. The league has emerged from its financial and off-the-counter woes to become the billion-dollar running machine it is today. And "Magic" himself has also made Los Angeles the center of NBA offseason activities.

Every summer, Johnson invites his Lakers teammates and NBA friends to Los Angeles to practice and play together to stay in shape during the holidays. In the early '80s, players still had the idea that training camps were all about getting back in shape. "The magician" wanted to stay in shape, and everyone listened to him. A lot of the players in the league come here to play, and every summer they are called by the Magic, and it's their own summer camp. And this was the beginning of a large number of summer training camps in Los Angeles.

Until now, many stars and managers have teamed up to gather in Los Angeles for training camps and games. Bill. Duffy has a number of superstars in his own right, and his collaborations with others led them to host a massive bootcamp in Los Angeles this year.

Yiyang had just walked out of Los Angeles International Airport when he saw Duffy waiting for him in the hall. It seems that the shutdown didn't make the guy burnt out. After all, the players under him don't seem to have nothing to fight at all. Take the youngest Yiyang and Jennings as examples, as long as they want, many CBA and even European teams will extend an olive branch to Duffy.

"Hello, Mr. Duffy, I didn't expect you to pick me up in person."

"Don't be so surprised, boy, the surprise is still to come!" Duffy took Yiyang's luggage and put it in the trunk of the car.

Greedy, cunning, calculating, unscrupulous...... These are not the magic weapons that Duffy relies on to survive, and the almost zero distance between him and the players is the key to Duffy's success. Although it was only a small action to pick up the luggage, he had already narrowed the distance between himself and Yiyang in a subtle way.

"What's more surprising?" Yiyang really couldn't think of how an ordinary personal trainer could surprise Yiyang. Could it be that Duffy invited Jordan to guide him? If that's the case, then Yiyang's jaw will indeed drop. But the truth is that a very talented player like Jordan is not a good coach or trainer. Because their understanding of basketball may not apply to other people.

"This is a L.A. kid, and there's never a shortage of superstars here!" With a mysterious smile, Duffy drove towards the training ground with Yiyang.

Most stars on All-Star Weekend? Don't worry, this summer's training camp could be even more exciting than All-Star Weekend!
