"The New Jersey Nets picked Yiyang with the third pick in the first round! After Yiyang became Yao Ming, the second-highest Chinese player in the NBA draft! ”

"Goodbye to China! The hot youngster landed in the American professional basketball! ”

"Mark. Cuban: I've been watching Yiyang for a long time, and I'm glad to get another Chinese player, and I'm looking forward to Yiyang's success with the Mavericks. ”

The next day, domestic newspapers and news websites were overwhelming with the news that Yiyang was selected to join the NBA with the third pick.

In the NBA, where there are fewer and fewer yellow figures, the appearance of Yiyang has undoubtedly greatly stimulated the demand of domestic fans.

Some fans who don't pay much attention to the NCAA were taken aback by the sudden appearance of Chinese. How is it that someone who has never heard of it before is selected in such a high third order?

And some fans who have been paying attention to Yiyang scoffed at his third pick. This group of over-enthusiastic fans have hurled insults on the Internet, and the general manager of the 76ers is really blind and deserves the team to be revived. They believe that even if Yiyang is not the champion, he should be selected in the second pick!

And in Yiyang's manager Bill. In Duffy's view, the final destination of his new client is quite satisfactory.

Of course, a higher rank can bring more attention and more wages to Yiyang. But Yiyang, as a yellow-skinned guy, is not lacking in attention. In terms of salary, as long as Yiyang can shine during his rookie contract, it will be time to really start making money.

The quality of the players themselves cannot be equated with their draft picks, and this has been proven countless times. In Bill. In Duffy's view, whether a rookie's growth environment is good is the key to whether they can stand out.

The teams that appeared in the high picks this year are all fish belly teams. There are a lot of problems that the belly teams face, first of all, their team environment is quite bad and they have lost their winning culture. Although on the underdog team, rookie players get more opportunities. But in a bad environment, players are also likely to lose confidence and even give up on themselves.

However, all these external reasons are not the key to a player's success. Whether they can succeed in the NBA depends on their own hearts. Bill. Duffy believes that true geniuses will not be buried by external factors. Those who are buried by external factors are not the best geniuses!

At this moment, when the domestic media are hyping up this new star, Yiyang, who is so low-key that it seems to have evaporated from the world, has not been affected by the outside world at all, and is still conscientiously training in Dallas every day.

It's just July and for the rest of the players, they're enjoying their holidays. But for a rookie like Yiyang who is hungry for success, his vacation will only be spent on the basketball court.

Bill. Duffy also called Yiyang and the Mavericks' trainers every day during this time to follow up on Yiyang's situation.

Outside, Evan. Turner has not yet played any official matches before signing with local Chinese brand Li Ning. Adidas has also offered Wall a very lucrative contract.

In fact, Li Ning, who had already discovered Yiyang, also looked for Bill. Duffy, not only Li Ning, but also domestic brands such as Anta and Peak all hope that this basketball star from China can become their cash cow.

But Bill. Duffy rejected everyone's offer, yes, everyone's!

First, Duffy wants to wait for Nike, Adi, Reebok, Jordan and other big manufacturers to bid and compare them one by one. Second, Duffy obeyed Yiyang's wishes and didn't want his customers to be disturbed during this time.

Yiyang seems to have disappeared from people's field of vision after the draft. Only a few journalists, such as Mougins, could find and interview him.

At this time, if it were another manager, they would have gone crazy a long time ago. Because of Yiyang's approach, it will undoubtedly make him lose millions of dollars of income in vain!

But Duffy knows there's nothing wrong with being quiet. A powerful person doesn't have to shout all day long, but must know how to solve the problem!

When Yiyang shines on the NBA court, those lost earnings will come back obediently after multipliing!

Duffy is not in a hurry, he only hopes that the child can continue to grow in good health.

Every day, the Dallas Mavericks' training ground is always open early in the morning for one person and closed late for the only one.

Cuban did not hesitate to raise the salaries of the trainers, but also asked them to fully cooperate with Yiyang. Stevens would always call Yiyang from time to time to ask about his training and help him plan better.

Off the training ground, LeBron. James dropped a nuclear bomb on the East Coast. The news of Yao Ming's return to training made the huge fan base of Houstonians and Oriental countries cheer. "Little Overlord" traveled east to New York, and Boozer joined the Bulls. And the biggest news about the Dallas Mavericks is Dirk. Nowitzki announced a contract extension without any suspense.

In the face of these stormy news, Yiyang is like a small fish in a pond, it is so inconspicuous, and the NBA ocean does not seem to change at all because of the appearance of a small fish.

But people don't know that the growth rate of this "little fish" is jaw-dropping......

※※※

Dirk. Nowitzki is in a good mood, having just returned from Germany, and he can't wait to meet his teammates.

For Nowitzki, his goal doesn't change every year, and that is the O'Brien Cup! So when he returns for the first time in July, he always looks forward to the team's situation this year.

"How's the summer going? Andy. Nowitzki parked his car and walked into the players' tunnel from the underground parking lot, where the German met a young black man in uniform, the head of security for the Dallas Mavericks. Andy.

"Dirk, who works overtime every day, has hardly rested this summer." Andy gave Nowitzki a friendly hug.

"Working overtime every day? What's going on? Nowitzki knows that under normal circumstances, the player tunnel and training ground will not be open in the offseason. While the summer league is just around the corner, it's unlikely that the players who will play in the summer league will start training together so soon. Andy said that he works overtime every day, why is he working overtime?

"You don't know? That rookie you picked in June, he's been in this damn gym all summer! ”

After listening to Andy, Nowitzki had an expression of disbelief. The young head of security always likes to joke, and on one occasion last year, Bullock also said that the players' tunnel was broken into by a group of gunmen, scaring everyone into waiting in the locker room for ten minutes. Finally, Brock smiled and pushed open the door and said it was just a joke.

This time, Nowitzki didn't immediately believe Bullock's nonsense. After playing in the NBA for so many years, Nowitzki has never seen a Mavericks player stay here all summer. As a rookie who was selected in the third pick, Yiyang should have a lot of business activities.

"Don't believe me? Go in and see for yourself. Bullock smirked, believing that Nowitzki would be surprised when he walked into the training ground.

Nowitzki shook his head with a smile, and it wasn't a bad thing to have a young man like Bullock in the team. After all, this Mavericks team is ...... It's so old. Let's hope the No. 3 rookie who let Butler go won't disappoint everyone.

The Germans pushed open the door to the training ground, and the sound of basketballs colliding with the hardwood floor was instantaneous.

"What are you looking at? Jason. Nowitzki saw Kidd standing on the sidelines and set his sights on the court.

On the training ground, a yellow-skinned guard with pigtails is galloping. This guy doesn't know how long it has been since he cut his hair, and the original whip shears have disappeared and become ordinary long hair.

Although this guy's physique is not enough to make him comparable to defenders like Delon and Lowry, he is undoubtedly stronger than when he tried out.

The players on the court wearing Mavericks training uniforms walked with the wind, and successively passed several coaches who came to block with cushions, and rushed to the front court with a bang!

"This ......" Nowitzki, who has always been elegant, couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

"Soon, right? Moreover, the ball is also good, and the breakthrough is not dragging the mud. It's just that the tempo changes aren't rich enough. Kidd looked at the guy who was training on the field with a smile, and he didn't stop what he was doing because someone was coming. It seems that what Bullock said is true!

After a few rounds of fast-break practice, the Chinese defender walked off the field, took a towel and wiped his sweat. He saw Nowitzki and Kidd, who were watching his training on the sidelines, but instead of greeting them, he discussed with the coach what he had just done.

"Dirk, this guy is really talented!" Kidd said, turning his head to look at Nowitzki beside him.

"His bounce and speed are not inferior even to black players, and he is tall and has long arms."

"No, no, no, these are the prerequisites for him to get into the NBA, but that's not what I'm talking about. His talent is extremely rare, this kid knows how to keep a low profile, and he knows how to bury his emotions. These are not the qualities that all young people possess. Kidd's approving eyes made Nowitzki realize that he seemed to be looking down on Yiyang. As a legend at the point guard position, Yiyang is definitely not ordinary for Kidd to give such a high evaluation!

"I think for the first time in so many years, I'm worried about my starting position." Kidd smiled, but didn't look worried.

The Mavericks are always one breath away from a championship, but Kidd seems to have seen the final piece of the puzzle that belongs to Dallas.

Yiyang? That's impressive!
