"The seventh pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, the Denver Nuggets chose ...... Emanuel. Moodier, from Butler University! ”

On the television, Moodier walked up to the podium with a green smile, put on a Denver Nuggets baseball cap, and cordially greeted Adam. With the seventh overall pick in the BA draft, Moodier undoubtedly accomplished his dream. When he first met that kid in a restaurant in Dallas, maybe even Yiyang didn't expect that guy would one day become an NBA-level professional player and be drafted in the lottery.

But seeing this result, Yiyang was both happy and a little disappointed. In Yiyang's heart, Moodier shouldn't be just the seventh pick. You know, in high school, he was also called the next top candidate. If it weren't for Yiyang letting him play in the NCAA, maybe the current Moodier would be even more unbearable.

A rookie with a high pick, that's a savior for most teams! Therefore, each team is very cautious, for fear that the one they choose is a "parallel import".

Moodier looks very good on the surface, with body and speed, but in fact, scouts should be like Yiyang, and find that Moodier has more shortcomings than advantages!

Yiyang picked up the phone, but he didn't dial the phone for a long time. The two hadn't spoken since their last fight with Moodier in New York. Yiyang shook his head, he himself is not a person who is good at telling big truths. I hope that kid can understand what he means.

The NBA, it's not that simple!

Yiyang simply didn't continue to think about Moodier, and next, it's time to see who Cuban can pick in the draft this year.

Before the Mavericks' 30th pick, Cuban traded up to the Lakers' No. 26 pick with his first- and second-round picks plus some cash.

Just four picks up, the Lakers got an extra second-round pick, which is undoubtedly a profitable deal for the Lakers who are in dire need of potential newcomers. As for the championship team Mavericks, they don't need so many rookies to pan for gold, but only need to choose what they like.

So at the 26th pick, the Mavericks finally brought the "second generation of stars" Larry. Lance II picked it up. At the time, many critics didn't understand Cuban's operation: "Why do they choose a guy who can't shoot, can't defend, and can't do anything but bounce?" ”

But Cuban never cared what the critics said, and when Yiyang was chosen, didn't those critics also scold?

And just like that, the 2015 NBA Draft came to an end. After the draft, Yiyang also temporarily put down basketball and devoted himself to accompanying his wife and mother.

At the beginning of July, Yiyang accompanied Vignari back home, mainly to tell Vignarie's parents about her pregnancy in person.

When they heard the news, the old Italian couple couldn't have been happier. Before they knew it, their youngest daughter had reached the age of becoming a mother.

Of course, Yiyang accompanied his wife to Italy for another purpose, that is, Vignali has completely transformed and wants to be a full-time model. After retiring from basketball, Wignali had more time to spend with her husband. But as a young woman, Vignali also didn't want to stay at home all day. A job is still very necessary, and the only requirement is that this job cannot separate her from Yiyang.

And becoming a print advertising model for a luxury brand is exactly what Vignarie is asking for.

Salvatore Ferragamo, a well-known Italian luxury fashion brand, has extended an olive branch to Vignarie, the queen of popularity, hoping that she can become the brand spokesperson. With Vignarie's popularity in the U.S. and China, Salvatore Ferragamo is confident they will open up a larger market.

Yiyang accompanied his wife to complete the signing ceremony, and Yiyang's appearance aroused the interest of the reporters on the scene as always. Although all the people who come here are journalists from the fashion industry, everyone knows that Yiyang is the hottest public figure today. Now that they can see with their own eyes, those reporters did not spare their films.

With Yiyang's help, the whole signing ceremony went naturally very smoothly. A woman who can quickly transition from sports to fashion without any barriers to entry, Vignarie may be the first woman ever.

In order to get Vignarie, Salvatore Ferragamo prepared a photography team specially for her. When there was a shooting assignment, Vignari didn't go to Italy, but the whole team went from Italy to Dallas. This is also the biggest reason why Vignari chose to sign with him. She doesn't have to leave Dallas to get to work.

In the future, Yiyang will go home after playing away, and he will no longer have to be alone.

Subsequently, Yiyang and Vignari flew directly to Germany to participate in the design and development conference of Yiyang's third-generation sneakers.

Compared to when Yiyang's sneakers were first launched, the Adidas team involved in the design is now stronger. After all, Derek. Rose's rapid fall was something Adidas never expected. According to Rose's current state, most of their hundreds of millions of dollars in contracts are in vain, and Rose's influence is falling off a cliff, which can be seen from the sales of Rose's sneakers.

But happily, Yiyang's rapid progress has filled Adidas' loss. Now, Adidas only has Yiyang as a spokesperson of sufficient weight. Although they have begun to play the idea of Lillard and Harden, at the moment, Yiyang is the only face of Adidas!

Therefore, the whole company has put its energy into Yiyang to build his personal brand in an all-round way. From T-shirts to protective gear and even merch dolls! Basketball shoes are the most important part of all these things.

The kick-off ceremony of the sneaker program was very lively, and the founder of Adidas, Adidas. Dales was present at the scene, and the scene was also full of large posters of Yiyang, and the whole ceremony was perfectly carried out in a friendly and lively atmosphere.

Yiyang's ability to attract money has brought Adidas to the point where the entire company serves one person!

Throughout July, Yiyang and Vignari were traveling and taking care of these business activities. During this period, Yiyang and Vignari finally knew what "VIP" treatment was.

Because whether it is Salvatore Ferragamo or Adidas, they regard the two as their most important strategic figures. Naturally, both companies took good care of the two. During this period, many expenses for the two of them were reimbursed by the company, and there were even special car transfers and special tour guides.

Although this money is not much for Yiyang, it makes him fully feel the sincerity of the other party.

After July, Yiyang and Vignari finally returned to the United States. At this time, the Mavericks are also ready to scour the free agent market for useful talent.

As a championship team, the Mavericks' lineup doesn't have to change much, that is, it's just a matter of checking and filling in the gaps. Random signings can disrupt the team's chemistry.

Two days ago, Cuban signed the first man of the summer, the big center from Tunisia, Sarah. Meijerry. Due to the resignation of Hellam Porter this summer and the fact that he has not renewed his contract with the Mavericks, Cuban must prepare in advance, so he signed such a big center who has just completed the treble in Europe with Real Madrid.

Meijery was very excited when she learned that she was photographed by the calf, and said that she would visit Yiyang in person when she arrived in Dallas.

"It's a dream of me to play with a great player like that!" In an interview with reporters, Mejery made no secret of his excitement.

At this point, the Mavericks' interior line has become an all-European lineup, from Gobert to Dirk to Meijri, which shows that Cuban's love for international players is really unusual. The name of Dallas "Team International" lives up to its name.

Even so, no one dares to say that the Mavericks' interior is a weakness. Sometimes, the all-European lineup is no worse than the all-American lineup.

Of course, people who want to cooperate with Yiyang are not only grassroots like Meijerry. Some celebrities have finally got this opportunity.

One afternoon in early August, Yiyang was watching TV with his wife while making his own training plan for the summer. Young Brickley is now one of the most famous trainers in the world, and Yiyang's habit of having to go to training camp every year is not shaking. Even though he got married last year, Yiyang also found time to stay there for a long time.

But a phone ringing shattered the quiet atmosphere of the afternoon. Yiyang originally thought that it was from Cuban, but now every time the Mavericks complete a signing, Cuban will ventilate Yiyang.

But when Yiyang picked up his phone and saw the number on the caller ID, he was a little surprised.

"Who?" Vignari saw that Yiyang had not answered the phone for a long time, so she asked curiously.

"Hmm...... An old friend. ”

On the screen of the phone, it reads "Steve. Nash" is a surprising name.
