Fast forward to December, and the temperature in Dallas is starting to drop again. There are countless fallen leaves floating on Baiyan Lake, and several cleaning boats go to the lake every day to salvage those leaves that affect the appearance. Yiyang looked at the workers who were busy on the shore of Baiyan Lake, their thick outfits reminded Yiyang that another winter was coming.

In fact, the winter in Dallas is not too bad, with an average low of 3.9 degrees Celsius in December. Compared to cities like Minnesota, Toronto, and Milwaukee, winters in Dallas can even be called "warm winters."

Speaking of Milwaukee, Yiyang thought of his opponent tomorrow. The Bucks seem harmless and seem to be "warming" the other 29 teams in the league. But it is precisely in the face of this kind of team that Yiyang does not dare to take it lightly.

Losing to a strong team, Yiyang may feel better. But if the Mavericks lose to a team that is at the bottom of the league, Yiyang may not be able to sleep for days on end.

Yiyang is not impressed by the Bucks, and for 4 seasons, the Bucks have not left too deep a memory for Yiyang. If it weren't for O.J. Mayo, who was playing for the Bucks at this time, he might have forgotten that there was such a team in the NBA.

No way, a team that has been losing is rarely favored by the media and the public, so the Bucks have been exposed very rarely. But this alliance is like this, if someone stands at the top, someone must climb at the bottom of the mountain.

As always, after breakfast, Yiyang went out early, and even in the cold wind, Yiyang would be the first to go to the training ground every day. Thankfully, Yiyang is now able to drive with both hands, and he didn't have any trouble eating poached eggs when he first ate them. The finger that was accidentally sprained has basically recovered.

In winter, the streets of Dallas are always empty in the early morning. The United States is a country with a low population density, and Yiyang has long been accustomed to this empty street. But as soon as there is a game, the area around the center arena of the American route will be blocked.

Tomorrow, the city of Dallas will be buzzing again.

Driving into the underground parking lot, Yiyang walked directly into the players' tunnel. As always, he cleaned up the bench in the locker room before he began to change his clothes and prepare for the warm-up.

Just as Yiyang, who had changed his jersey, walked out of the door of the locker room, he saw a guy who shouldn't be here at this moment, Vince who had a gray beard. Carter.

"Vince? Why are you here so early today!? Looking at this old guy who once helped him shock the world at the slam dunk contest, Yiyang was very surprised.

"Winter is coming, and my bones are very cold. Want to warm up in advance to avoid injury, hehe. Carter waved his hand and approached Yiyang with a smile.

"You go first, I'll be right there. By the way, let's dunk a few baskets later, it's been a long time! ”

As a veteran, Carter hasn't played much this season. After the introduction of Tony. Aaron and Nick. After Young, Carter Sr. finally didn't have to stay up for more than 30 minutes in every game. In the few minutes he played, he was also a three-point shooter for most of the time. So, while one can still occasionally see Carter Sr. soaring over Dallas, there are fewer and fewer such images.

Even Carter himself was a little unable to hold back, after all, dunking was his biggest hobby on the basketball court. So when he's on the training floor, Carter always dunks a few baskets to have a good time.

Yiyang nodded, then turned around and walked towards the training hall.

Carter has played 18 seasons in his career, but has played less than 60 games in two seasons, in the 02-03 season, where he played only 43 games due to injury, and in his rookie season, where he played only 50 games. The reason for this is that there are only 50 games in total this season, and he is playing in full attendance...... Carter's attendance rate has always been surprisingly high, basically missing less than 10 games a season, and there are several seasons when he is full attendance, which is very high among stars. Seeing Carter take the initiative to warm up early because of the cooler temperatures, you can easily find out why this old guy has always been able to maintain a high attendance.

Whether a professional player is professional or not, you can get a glimpse of it from these details.

Carter and Yiyang first shot on the basketball court, and although Yiyang is now the star of the Mavericks, in practice, Carter Sr. has better shooting stability outside the three-point line than Yiyang.

"I know you learned to shoot from Peja guy and you shoot very fast, which makes it hard for you to block. But while shooting fast, you must also control your movements and not deform. For example, Stephen. Curry, this guy is the epitome of being fast and steady. You can do it fast and steady at first, but after a dozen throws, your movements start to deform a bit. You have to pay attention to that, man, because the key three-pointers are often shot last. ”

While warming up with Yiyang, Carter also gave his opinion. That's why Yiyang likes to train with people like Carter, because you can always learn a lot from these old guys.

Don't underestimate this group of veterans whose data is no longer in the stream, the wealth they have accumulated in the league for more than ten years is not reflected by the data. Back then, even Cardinal, a "water cooler manager", could teach Yiyang how to defend. This shows how important the role of a veteran is in a team.

After the shooting warm-up, the two were already sweating and their bodies were completely stretched. Carter Chong Yiyang smiled slightly, it's time to dunk!

Slamming dunks is purely Carter's personal hobby. Of course, it was precisely because of a shocking dunk that Carter became famous,

When Carter wreaked havoc on the basket again and again on the training court, Yiyang could clearly see the smile on Carter's face. Maybe these dunks that no one can see remind Carter of his glory days.

"Haha, that's so enjoyable!" When Carter used a 360° turn dunk in the air to make the basket lower his "head" again, Yiyang was shocked. This 37-year-old veteran can still make such a move. Carter has always maintained his physical condition very well, and Yiyang even thinks that this guy can fight until he is 40 years old.

"Come on, you can deduct a few too. It's okay, I'm not going to be hit by you and want to retire, hahahaha. After Carter finished deducting, he dragged Yiyang to come with him, but Yiyang waved his hand embarrassedly.

In front of this kind of grandfather-level buckle general, Yiyang still doesn't make a cauldron.

After the two of them sweated profusely, it wasn't long before the team officially started training. So, Yiyang and Carter simply sat directly on the floor with Gatorade, rested for a while, and waited for the start of today's formal training.

"Hey, yes, we've had a really good season this season." Carter and Yiyang chatted sentence by sentence, but when talking about the topic of achievements, Yiyang found that Carter's smile gradually disappeared.

"Well, 16-1, the best start in team history." Yiyang's tone was not excited, because it was not enough for him.

"Haha, this year, we have a good chance of making the playoffs as No. 1 in the West, or even No. 1 in the league. We lost to the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals last year, but I don't think we're going to lose again this year. Hey, do you think we're going to win the championship this year!? After Carter finished speaking, he turned his head to stare at Yiyang, his eyes full of longing.

Yes, the 37-year-old Carter has won almost every individual accolade he can win in this league. Rookie of the Year, Slam Dunk King, Three-time All-Star Team, and eight-time All-Star selection, including four All-Star vote winners. His dunk highlights are still wildly reproduced by young people on the Internet. The "death button" in the Olympics is now no one can reproduce it. Even though Yiyang gave an epoch-making performance at the slam dunk contest the year before last, when it comes to "half-human and half-god", the first thing that comes to mind is Carter.

This "Canadian flyer" from the United States has a very successful career. But there is one thing that has always lingered in Carter's heart. And it is precisely because of this that he chooses to continue to fight on the basketball court.

Championship ring, after almost 20 years of hard work in the league, Carter still doesn't have a championship ring of his own. As a young man, he was desperate for victory and championships, but the harsh reality smoothed his edges.

But now, when he and his team are once again close to the O'Brien Cup, Carter realizes that he is still full of desire for the championship in his heart......

His former teammate Kidd won the only championship ring of his career with the Mavericks, and Carter hopes he can fulfill this long-lost dream in a limited amount of time.

Looking at Carter, who was full of anticipation, Yiyang couldn't help but smile. This old man with a white beard, when he mentions the championship, it seems that he has instantly become a child in his early twenties. Full of desire for the future.

"Our goal this season is the championship, don't worry, Vince, in six months' time, we'll be on top of the world!" Yiyang said, and stretched out a fist at Carter.

Looking at Yiyang's serious eyes, Carter seemed to really see the picture of him standing on the championship podium with others. This guy is an MVP, if you don't believe him, who else can you trust?

Carter stretched out his hand and gently touched Yiyang. Just then, the door to the training ground was pushed open, and more and more teammates poured in.

Another day of training is about to begin, and although this life has been going on for almost 20 years, Carter is not bored at all. After all, he is an old guy who still has dreams.

"Hey, Vince, why are you here so early today? Do you learn how to shoot a basketball? The teammates joked with Carter.

With a smile on his face, Carter didn't respond, he got back on his feet and continued to set off towards his dream.
