"Hehe, I'm so sorry. You know, the emotions of a professional footballer do need to be vented sometimes. I didn't expect that Yi, who usually looks the most calm, broke out so terrifyingly. "Carlisle sits in the office of the head of security at the Chesapeake Energy Arena, and he shouldn't be here, exactly, all NBA coaches shouldn't be here. But Carlisle still came, because of Yiyang.

"Honestly, Mr. Carlyle, it doesn't matter if the cabinet is broken, it won't take much time for us to rebuild it. The main thing is the health of the players, and if I broke my hand in the dressing room today, I can't afford it. The security minister shook his head with a cup of coffee, and it was the first time he had seen a player punch a big hole in a cabinet in the locker room.

"yes, but I understand him...... I tried my best, I fought until I cramped, but I still couldn't win the race......" Carlisle stopped abruptly in the middle of his sentence. To whom do you complain about your grievances? Is this Minister of Security in front of him? Besides, Yiyang himself didn't complain.

"He's a good boy, and even though I work at the Chesapeake Energy Arena, my son is a fan of Yi. Today, he really fought to the end. My son can have such an idol, to be honest, I am quite happy. At least, it's better than those pop singers who like yin and yang. ”

"Haha, I didn't expect there to be fans in Oklahoma. It's not too early, and I'll call Mr. Kuban for the cost of compensation. I'm really sorry for the trouble. With that, Carlisle got up to leave. It was because Yiyang broke the cupboard in the visiting locker room at the Chesapeake Energy Arena that Carlisle was here to negotiate with others. Why don't you bring Yiyang with you? That guy Yiyang may not be in the mood to care about this now.

After returning to the team bus, Yiyang never spoke or showed any expression. He just collapsed into the leather seat tiredly, enjoying every moment of rejuvenation.

32 points, 6 assists, 4 rebounds, 2 blocks, 1 steal, fighting until calf cramps, Yiyang did everything he could. People call him a supernewcomer, the next superstar, an incredible Chinese...... But none of this means anything to Yiyang, only victory can make Yiyang feel comfortable.

When did you become so hungry for victory? Perhaps, Yiyang's desire for victory has always been there, but he has never realized it. In the past, Yiyang thought that he was only playing professional basketball to make money, but since he touched the O'Brien Cup, Yiyang seems to have opened Pandora's box. Money can no longer satisfy him, he craves victory, he craves honor!

3-2, the team has been pushed to the guillotine. Even if the Thunder team wins one more game, one more round or even one more point! This season for the Mavericks, it will fall short.

What makes Yiyang feel desperate is not that he is powerless, but that he has tried his best, but he still can't get the result he wants.

While Yiyang was thinking alone, Carlisle was the last to get on the bus. After getting into the car, he glanced at Yiyang and looked a little worried. But seeing Yiyang's tired appearance, he still decided not to bother him. What that kid needs now is rest, not preaching.

"Let's go Anderson, let's go to the airport." Carlisle greeted the driver, and the bus dragged his heavy "body" and the heavy hearts of the players out of the Chesapeake Energy Arena.

But when you return to Dallas, will there really be hope?

"32 points and 6 assists, yesterday's stats are simply ......"

"It's just gorgeous! He was once again the game-high scorer, with Durant scoring one less point than him. Can you imagine? A sophomore actually defeated Durant, the scoring champion, in a scoring battle? I know what you're trying to say Rick, but the data is gorgeous! After returning to Dallas, Carlisle took the initiative to go to Cuban's office and talk to the owner, who was dedicated to the team.

When they talk about Yiyang's data from yesterday, Cuban interrupts Carlisle very excitedly, and then praises Yiyang. The fat boss only saw that he had grabbed the treasure, but he didn't see the catty in it.

"No, Mark, I'm not telling you his stats to tell you how good he is. 32 points and 6 assists, this statistic is extremely abnormal for Yi! Carlisle spread his hands, hoping that Cuban would take the issue he would later on.

"What's wrong? He's got a high hit rate, too. ”

"He's also a playmaker, and I'll admit he's very good at scoring, but on the pitch, he doesn't usually go from start to finish, but he connects the whole team and drives the whole team. The most standard statistic is 20+10, and the reason why he scored 32 points and 6 assists is entirely because there is really no one around him who can stand up, so he has to go it alone. As a result, his scoring stats have increased, but the number of assists has also decreased. "Carlisle knows very well that Yiyang should have been very aggrieved yesterday. After all, that's not the way I'm used to playing.

"What do you want to say, Rick? You don't have to go around in circles between you and me. Instead of getting angry, Cuban patiently asked his manager.

"I want to say...... If, if we stop in the Western Conference semifinals this season. In the summer, I hope you can bring a few more helpers to Yiyi. You know, that kind of real helper! You have to admit that Mark, Dirk is old, and Jett is old. Jason has retired, and the team we won last year is completely dissolved. We need fresh blood and new strength. If you don't know who you should sign, ask me, ask Dirk or even Yi. It's a time of generational change, and if the team continues to age like this, sooner or later we will lose our competitiveness. Even if we don't leave, they will leave us. He can work so hard for three or four years, but after a long time, people will always be discouraged. Look at LeBron, didn't he also leave Miami for a championship? I'm sure you don't want to compete for a lotto in a few years' time. After Carlisle finished speaking, he did not shy away from Cuban's gaze. Yiyang, like Paul, when they all start scoring like crazy, it just means that there is something wrong with the team.

Cuban looked down and thought for a moment, he didn't expect his boss to suddenly say this. Last summer's operation was a real mess, not only did I let go of a lot of championship puzzle pieces, but the few new signings didn't make a difference.

Odom's guy is now almost autistic, and he doesn't have any presence on the team. Delonti. Not to mention West, who and Terry got into a gun incident that is still terrifying. These two men did not help the team, not to mention, and also stirred up the locker room into a pot of porridge.

Maybe sometimes it's time to talk to the players and coaches about the reinforcements. The team is everyone's, and it's not just about him and Nelson Jr. Only those who play on the court know best what kind of teammates they want.

"I see Rick, I know what you mean. Don't worry, I won't let you want to leave. Cuban smiled and gave Carlisle an affirmative nod.

Although it was very refreshing to watch Yiyang cut a high score, it was ...... Let's listen to the manager.

After a hard day of training, Yiyang and his teammates prepared to go home. During the Western Conference semifinals, Yiyang never practiced for himself. He knew very well that if he insisted on practicing under such a tiring situation, he would undoubtedly commit suicide slowly. He's going to leave all his strength on the court, in hand-to-hand combat with Westbrook.

After saying goodbye to Nowitzki in the parking lot, Yiyang also opened the door of his heavy-duty pickup truck and prepared to leave. But when he was just about to get into the car, a person suddenly hugged Yiyang from behind.

"Haha, surprise!" Vignari suddenly jumped in front of Yiyang, and the lively women's basketball player smiled very brightly, which contrasted sharply with Yiyang's gloomy expression.

"Why are you here?" Seeing Vignari suddenly appear in front of him, Yiyang couldn't help but laugh from the bottom of his heart. In the past, Yiyang would only have such emotions when he saw his mother Wen Xue.

"I said I would come to see you play, but unfortunately there are some commercial activities these days, so it was postponed. Hey, aren't you hugging me? It's been a long time since we've seen each other. Vignali took the initiative to come to Yiyang, this Italian girl was still so enthusiastic, it seemed that she was about to melt Yiyang's ice.

"I ......" Yiyang stopped talking and directly hugged this Italian girl into his arms. He suddenly felt warm, and his heart was warm......

"Also."

"Huh?"

"Why did you keep frowning all the time?" Vignali, who was in Yiyang's arms, raised her head and leaned in front of Yiyang's face.

"I didn't."

"You're very good at all the techniques on the basketball court, but you can't lie. I saw it all just now, and when you walked out with Dirk, you were obviously sad. ”

"3 to 2, Vignary." Yiyang didn't talk much nonsense, and the successive unsatisfactory games with the Thunder team were the reason why Yiyang has been worried recently.

"That's right!" Vignari staggered and began rummaging through her handbag.

After a while, Vignali pulled out a small hand-knitted bracelet. This bracelet is woven with purple threads, and several small threads converge into many complex and beautiful patterns under the weaving of Italian craftsmen.

Vignari excitedly picked up Yiyang's hand and personally helped him put the bracelet on. The size is just right,

"Lucky bracelet, wear this bracelet and you will win the next game!" Vignari stared at her gaping eyes, as if the bracelet could really allow Yiyang to win the match.

Yiyang looked at the optimistic Vignary, and then at the gloomy self on the car window. Why bother? The harder years are over, and now, it's just 3 to 2!

Yiyang's world was originally only black and white, but after Vignari appeared, Italian literary and artistic colors were painted in his world. Life should be as colorful as Vignarie's.

Yiyang took Vignari into his arms again, and this time tightly.

Oklahoma City Thunder, let the horses come!
