The NBA is the highest level basketball league in the world, and players from anywhere in the world want to try their skills here. But it's the majority, because these guys in the NBA are so perverted! There are spring monsters with a bounce of more than 100cm, power monsters with a bench press of more than 150 kg, long-hand monsters with an arm span of more than 20 cm in height, sports cars with a speed comparable to professional track and field athletes, and more metamorphosis like James and Westbrook who completely explode all opposing players, NBA, and should be called the League of Monsters!

The physical confrontation in the NBA reached a peak in the 90s, and more scientific workouts and more reasonable diets led to the emergence of a large number of weird muscular men in the league. They have a rough style of play and are tough defensively. They don't defend gently, and vicious fouls are commonplace.

Although the NBA defense is not as fierce today as it was in the 90s, due to the change in various conditions, there are more physically gifted players. So, every game is not easy for everyone.

What's more, the NBA's dense schedule is something that all NBA coaches and players hate.

The dense schedule will naturally make the players run a lot. Although the current inter-regional race in the United States has been much less troublesome than the train travel of ancient times, it is still not an easy task.

In addition to playing and training, the players also have to spend a lot of energy on long journeys. From packing up your luggage, to going on a long journey, to taking off your luggage and moving into the hotel...... Such a process, even if there is no competition, is enough to put most people off. What's more, after the players are done, they have to go through 48 minutes of high-intensity games and hard training.

This is also the reason why NBA players get injured frequently. The high-intensity use of the body and the very little rest time make many young people who are as strong as cattle unbearable. What's more, Kidd, the Mavericks' current starting point guard, is already an uncle who is about to turn 40 years old.

On the training ground, everyone on the Mavericks was running tactics in earnest. The players weren't distracted by the fact that it was just a training match, and they all knew that if they weren't serious in training, they would be greeted with a humiliating defeat on the pitch.

After the win over the Nuggets on the road, the Mavericks returned to Dallas early the next morning, where everyone came to the team to drop off their bags and start training non-stop.

The morning after the training session, the hard-working players didn't have much time to rest. They have to do some important tactical tweaks for tomorrow night's game.

So, on the surface, the Mavericks have a full two days of rest between games. But excluding the cost of travel and training, there is very little time left for the players to really rest.

For the young and energetic Yiyang, all this hard work is not a problem at all. But Kidd was clearly out of shape on the training ground today.

"Damn it!" When Kidd passed the ball out of bounds again, the Mavericks' "town magic" yelled, grinning and rubbing his calf.

Rick. Seeing this, Carlisle immediately stopped training. The Mavericks' chief team doctor also rushed onto the court, and the entire training hall became tense.

"Strained?" Carlisle asked with concern.

"No, it may be that I have been overexerting myself in the past few days, and the old problem has been committed again!" Kidd waved his hand and looked at his calf helplessly.

As a veteran who is about to enter the 18th year of his career, Kidd's injuries accumulated in his youth are undoubtedly torture for him.

Under the team doctor's examination, Kidd's calf was fine. However, due to old injuries and excessive exhaustion, Kidd's calves would be accompanied by discomfort such as pain.

After all, the average person rests after an injury. And for veterans like Kidd, after being injured, they have dragged their scarred bodies and fought for too many years.

Rick. Carlisle shook his head, this wasn't the first time Kidd had such a problem. It's just that he didn't expect that this season, after playing four games, Kidd would feel tired.

It seems that age is eating away at Kidd's body step by step. Kidd felt unwell early this season, which undoubtedly sounded the alarm for Carlisle.

And this is also the reason why the Mavericks will get Yiyang at any cost. Kidd is indeed a legendary point guard, and it stands to reason that a team with a legendary point guard does not need to use the high pick to select a rookie who also plays the No. 1 position.

But Kidd, the legendary point guard, has entered the final moments of his career. He could no longer be at the forefront of fierce battles as he had been more than a decade ago. Carlisle's gaze couldn't help but fall on Yiyang, whether he was ready or not, the day of carrying the burden on Kidd's shoulders had come early.

Carlisle has some headaches, because the Mavericks' next game opponent is not a general person like the Bobcats. Possess the Big Three plus Rajan. Rondo, the Boston Celtics with star point guards, will not show mercy to Dallas because Kidd is unwell.

At this juncture, Kidd is not feeling well, and it is really not the right time. Carlisle touched his chin, Yiyang, Yiyang, the time to test you is really coming......

Soon, the time came on November 6, the day of the competition. Half an hour before the start of the game, Kidd's calf was still aching. While others went to warm up on the court, Kidd had to sit on the hardwood floor of the court and receive a massage from the team doctor.

The Mavericks fans cheering in the stands didn't know that Kidd had a physical problem, and they were expecting Kidd to show the Rondo guy what the real gap was.

And Yiyang has naturally become one of the players who has attracted much attention. He and Rajan. The counterpoint between Rondo is also talked about by reporters.

D.J. Augustine, Mike. Conley, Byron. Davis, Chauncey. Billups ...... Yiyang has played the ball in the previous four games, and his opponent seems to be gradually getting stronger little by little. But Yiyang, whether in individual performance or team wins, has won before.

But today, Yiyang's opponent is another level stronger. Neither Rondo nor the entire Celts will turn into soft persimmons at the mercy of Yiyang.

Before the game, Rondo didn't look at Yiyang very friendly. This little henchman beside the Big Three now desperately wants to prove his strength. He wanted to say to everyone, I'm not a follower, but one of the giants!

"Whether it's Kidd or that scout, I don't want them to score easily today. As long as you can restrain them, they can't tear through the line, they can't tear through the line, their passing is useless! I know it's not fair to you to face two strong enemies at the same time, but you can do it, right? "Before the game began, Celtics coach Doug . Rivers pulled his duck throat to cheer Rondo on.

Rondo nodded, and then stepped into the room with the Big Three. This guy really doesn't treat himself as a little brother at all.

Carlisle still chose to let Kidd play the starter, and if Kidd does not perform well on the field, then he will replace Yiyang in advance to give Yiyang more playing time. To put it bluntly, Kidd's first strike today is just a fake starter. The real master of the Mavericks will be played by Yiyang today!

The game just started, Tyson. Chandler fought for the basketball over O'Neal Jr., who had lost his luster.

Kidd advanced quickly, directing the attack. He flicked the ball straight and gave it to the inside. But Nowitzki, who was near the three-second zone, was in no hurry, knowing full well that Garnett wasn't that easy to beat.

So Nowitzki calmly held the ball, and then suddenly made a pass!

The basketball went straight to the bottom left corner, and after Chandler's off-ball block, Kidd slapped the ball and got an open shot!

Kidd didn't hesitate and went straight to the jumper. But the sharp pain in his calf made Kidd's shooting a little awkward.

"Oops." Carlisle saw that Kidd's shooting rhythm was a little wrong, so he secretly screamed in his heart.

Sure enough, as soon as Kidd opened, he missed an open three-point opportunity. Kidd yelled in remorse, he didn't think he really shouldn't. If it was luck or something else that didn't make the shot, Kidd wouldn't feel anything. But just now, Kidd himself could feel that it was precisely because he was unwell that he couldn't complete the shooting action. And off the field, Rick. Carlisle was already holding his forehead.

It seems that Kidd's form is unlikely to improve today. Yiyang, this time, it may really depend on you!
