"Welcome to the NBA, rookie!" When Marion smiled at Rubio and said this, the Spaniard felt a chill down his spine, and a great sense of fear spread from the soles of his feet to the top of his head.

What a pervert to be able to complete the cap in that situation. Rubio swallowed, is this the NBA?

"Hey, don't be stunned, keep attacking!" Adelman's roar from the sidelines rejuvenated the hollow-eyed Rubio. After Yiyang completed the block, the basketball rebounded to the outside of the three-point line, and Carter touched the ball out of bounds in the process of fighting for Reedno, so the ball still belongs to the Timberwolves, and they still have a chance to continue the offense.

Milicic sent the touchline ball out again, and when Rubio once again controlled the ball to face Yiyang, he no longer had the calmness and confidence he had just had.

Yiyang, who stretched out his arms in front of Rubio, was like a lion protecting his territory, and the Spaniards did not dare to approach it rashly.

So, instead of trying to attack on his own, Rubio passed the ball out. Milicic, who cut inside and received basketball, tried to go straight to the rim, but was ruthlessly blocked by Haywood. Now Milicic is too mediocre to be mediocre. Blocking his layup was no trouble for Haywood, who was good at blocking.

With two blocks in a row, the Mavericks defended their basket with tough defense. After the Spaniards came on the field, they had just set off a little storm, and they were forcibly suppressed by Yiyang, the "Sea King".

The offense passed, and Yiyang leaned on Rubio to get inside. Although Yiyang's physical confrontation ability is not ranked in the entire league, after a summer of training, there is no problem in winning Rubio.

Just now, Yiyang successfully scored with a hand-changing lever. This time, Yiyang used a fake fax to deceive Milicic and Lefou, "slipped" between the two strong men, and scored again with a pick-and-roll.

Adelman shook his head helplessly, Tanhua Show is always Tanhua Show.

In the following game, Rubio completely lost his rhythm under Yiyang's defense. Rubio's rhythm is out of order, and so is the rhythm of the entire Timberwolves.

The Timberwolves' offense was bumpy, while the Mavericks were hitting extremely high shooting percentages in an exhausted state. Because most of the Mavericks' players don't have to work too hard, they can easily score points by receiving Yiyang's wonderful passes.

Nowitzki played like a fish in water inside, and Carter and Terry also hit multiple three-pointers. In this game, Carlisle even replaced Delonti. West, a defender with a somewhat unstable spirit. However, his dual-point guard partnership with Yiyang is surprisingly good.

West scored 13 points in a row, and the tacit understanding between this guy and Yiyang seemed to be slow.

Halfway through the fourth quarter, Carlisle was replaced by Odom. Odom came on the court, indicating that the Mavericks had lit their winning cigar.

What about Rubio? In front of Yiyang, the Spaniards didn't have the slightest chance at all. He couldn't protect himself, let alone help the team complete the comeback.

Rubio only scored 8 points and 5 assists in the whole game, and under the pressure of Yiyang, Rubio's turnover reached 6. Such a result is obviously seriously inconsistent with the expectations of Timberwolves fans.

In stark contrast, he scored 25 points, 2 blocks, 4 steals, 6 rebounds and 12 assists in one fell swoop, revitalizing the team's Yiyang. The gap between the two is very huge, both in terms of scenes and data.

With 25 points, this is Yiyang's lowest scoring game since the start of the season. However, this "lowest score" has already overwhelmed Rubio.

Even Mike. Brin also said during the game: "We all had too much to expect from this game. ”

yes, before the game started, people wanted to see Kidd vs. Nash-like matchups. But the actual game turned into a game of "eagle catching chicken". Rubio may be stronger in the future, but right now, he and Yiyang are not at the same level at all.

Without much effort, Yiyang defeated Rubio, the expected "Yiyang killer", and by the way, helped the team take away the victory in the icy Minnesota.

102-82, the Mavericks ended up on the road, giving the Timberwolves a four-game losing streak. The arrival of the Spanish golden boy does not seem to be able to save the Timberwolves.

Back-to-back, three games in a row, the Mavericks are on a three-game winning streak. The all-American rush and packed schedule didn't break them, and the Mavericks' resilience allowed them to get back on track after a two-game losing streak at the start of the season.

After the game, Timberwolves fans were disappointed. Adelman's eyes were full of envy as he shook Carlisle's hand. If he can also have a Yiyang, then it will be ......

At the post-match press conference, numerous reporters crowded into the media reception room to interview Rubio. This is the first time that the Spanish golden boy has encountered so many setbacks since he arrived in the NBA. Many Spanish media are complaining about whether Yiyang plays too roughly, which makes you play abnormally.

However, Rubio, who was on stage, just shook his head helplessly. "I don't want to make any excuses for myself, and I'm too strong because he wouldn't have helped the team win a championship in his rookie season. He's a great player and I hope I'll be at his level myself in the future. ”

Rubio's speech is not at all aimed at his opponent, but like his idol. But in fact, Yiyang only played a year earlier than Rubio. Sometimes the difference in strength really can't be measured by age.

So far, Yiyang has successively taken out the impactful Westbrook, the experienced Calderon and the talented Rubio. All the media are discussing the question of who can stop Yiyang's crazy steps!

Once the Mavericks are on the right track, it's hard to go wrong.

'It was a good day because we won the game and we signed a contract. Trust me, the Dallas Mavericks are unlike any team you've been on before! We have a championship pedigree and we are hungry for victory. On top of that, we have the best point guards in this league. You know more about him than I do. After all, you only won the Asian Championships together in September. Welcome to join, easy! From today onwards, you're a part of the Dallas Mavericks! ”

Just as Yiyang and they were taking away the victory from the target center, Cuban and Nelson Jr. brought a new player to the Mavericks in the office.

Opposite the two was a big yellow man with an obscure smile. Yi Jianlian signed his name on the contract, and he was once selected with the sixth pick and attracted much attention, but now he can only receive a base salary. But this is no longer important to Yi Jianlian, and being able to return to the NBA is what Yi Jianlian desires the most.

"We're going to have a great time working together, the Mavericks need players like you. Of course, because you've been injured in your country's league and you're only coming back now. So, we need you to go to the Development League and play a few games first to get used to the pace and intensity of the game on the American side. But it won't be long, and as long as you're okay, we'll have you back soon. ”

"No problem, I do need to get used to it first." Yi Jianlian couldn't help but clench his fists, whether he can grasp the opportunity or not depends on himself!

The day after the victory over the Timberwolves, the Mavericks had a day of respite. After a day off, they will face another back-to-back fixture.

On the day after returning to Dallas, Carlisle did not give his players any high-intensity training plan. The players arrived at the training ground in the afternoon and were disbanded after a period of recovery training.

As the players returned to the dressing room to change their clothes and prepare to leave, Carlisle suddenly received a phone call.

"New players?" Carlisle said this on the phone, which immediately caught the attention of the others in the dressing room.

"Okay, okay, I got it." Hanging up, Carlisle found that all eyes were on him. Obviously, everyone wants to know what exactly that "new player" means.

"Guys, there's going to be a new buddy in the locker room soon."

"Who did Kuban sign again?" Nowitzki asked as he changed his clothes, and he welcomed anyone who didn't have a negative impact on the team's locker room.

"Also, this time it's your compatriots. Yi Jianlian, you should be very familiar with him. ”

"Yi Jianlian? Yi Jianlian joined Mavericks? After hearing Carlisle say Yi Jianlian's name, the biggest reaction was not Yiyang, but Carter, who had been teammates with Yi Jianlian for a short time.

"That's right, Vince, by the way, you've been teammates with Yi before. With you and Yi, there shouldn't be any problems for him to integrate into the team. ”

"Leave it to me, Yi is a nice guy. Even though he struggled with the Wizards last season, I think he still has a lot of quality. It's just that he is under too much pressure, after all, people all over China are watching him. But now, he doesn't have to bear it. Because the eyes of Chinese fans are also attracted, hahaha. ”

Regarding Yi Jianlian's joining, Yiyang did not make any comments in the locker room. Yi Jianlian, like Yiyang, is the type who is not good at talking. So although they have won the Asian Championships together, there is not much intersection between Yiyang and Yi Jianlian. He and Yi Jianlian are not friends, they can only be said to be ordinary colleagues.

However, having two Chinese in the locker room of an NBA team at the same time, Yiyang thinks it should be quite interesting.

Everyone in the locker room was looking forward to Yi Jianlian's arrival, but Odom felt the opposite. The guy grimaced and didn't join the discussion.

Originally, Odom's position was already extremely unstable, and if there was another Yi Jianlian, I was afraid that he would become more marginalized. He's a knight of the Purple and Gold Army, and he's the second choice for last year's Sixth Man of the Year! I didn't come to Dallas to sit on the bench! Moreover, still sitting on the bench under a Chinese!

The Mavericks can't do this, and Yi Jianlian can't do this! He wants to make the Mavericks regret it and let the Mavericks know that signing Yi Jianlian is a completely redundant operation!

This guy who had already given up basketball, at this moment, seemed to have a trace of war in his heart......
