Tyson. Chandler 14+20, Nowitzki 25+8, Marion 14+4, Yiyang 18+8. The Mavericks played a near-perfect performance at home to turn the series total to 4-1.

So far, the "soft persimmon", which was originally not favored by people, has become the second team in the league to advance to the second round of the series after the Celtics.

In addition to home-court advantage, an early advance to the second round also meant that the Mavericks' players got more rest than their next opponent.

At the moment, the defending champion Lakers, who are ranked second in the West, and the Hornets, who are ranked seventh in the West, are still in a fierce battle. The winner of these two teams will be the Mavericks' opponent in the next round of games. However, neither "Queen Bee" Paul nor "Black Mamba" Kobe Bryant are not a "good" opponent for the Mavericks.

Although the series with the Trail Blazers has ended, Carlisle still has to continue to study the footage of the Lakers and Hornets games. For the academy manager, winning the first round was just the beginning of hard work.

But the Mavericks players don't have to jump right into the work right now. Now, the Lakers and Hornets are tied 2-2, which means that no matter who qualifies in the end, both teams have at least two games to play. According to the NBA's official court schedule, the Mavericks players will receive at least five days of rest.

Carlisle, a coach who believes that a little relaxation will make his players perform better, decided to give his players a day off the day after the series victory.

Of course, holidays are holidays, and Carlisle still has the basic rules. For example, you are not allowed to leave Dallas on the day of the holiday, you are not allowed to drink, you are not allowed to overeat, you are not allowed to ride a motorcycle, etc.

Of course, generally speaking, players who make the playoffs don't die like that, especially since the Mavericks are aiming for a championship.

"Hey, Yi, come with me to Baiyan Lake tomorrow to fish." Back in the dressing room after the game, the players began to invite each other when Carlisle announced that he would have a day off tomorrow. After all, a rare day of vacation can't be wasted. Nowitzki was the first to call Yiyang, hoping that he could go to the lake with him tomorrow to relax.

"Tomorrow...... I'm afraid not tomorrow, Dirk. Yiyang shook his head embarrassedly.

"Hahaha, do you hear Dirk, you've been ruthlessly rejected." Terry, who was sitting in the cabinet next to Yiyang, laughed deliberately.

Nowitzki gave Terry, who was deliberately making trouble, a white glance and continued. "You can bring Vignari with you, it's okay."

"No, not Vignarie. Bill. Mr. Duffy just texted me and he said that tomorrow Adidas was going to have a dinner party in Dallas. As the spokesperson of the banner, I have to participate. Yiyang reluctantly raised his phone, and it was Bill on the phone screen. A text message from Duffy. I finally had a holiday, and it was like this.

"A business dinner? God, then I can only wish you good luck. "Nowitzki, one of Europe's greatest basketball players, has attended numerous business dinners. He summed up the common denominator of these dinners in one word – boredom.

The executives of various companies would tout each other at business dinners and talk about business by the way. Some politicians will also show up at dinners in an attempt to enter the business world. Or a businessman trying to step into politics. As for brand spokespersons like Yiyang, they usually just support the scene. After all, there are few stars at a high-end dinner, and there always seems to be something missing.

Therefore, sports stars or entertainment stars usually seem a little out of place at such a dinner party. But you can't express your displeasure yet, and you'll have to have an official smile on your face throughout the dinner.

"When you signed the contract with Adidas, was there this clause in the contract? If not, you can ask your manager to politely decline it. Thinking of what Yiyang was about to face tomorrow, Nowitzki immediately gave his little brother a trick.

"I'm sorry, Dirk. The contract originally stated that he would attend at least three such dinners. My agent felt that attending such a dinner would expand my network, so he didn't turn it down. Yiyang now finally understands why such a thing as attending a dinner party is written into the contract.

"So...... Have fun. Uh, I hope it......" Nowitzki's sympathetic expression made Yiyang even more afraid of tomorrow night.

“...... What intrigues us is that Yi, who has won the sixth man of the year and made a shutout in the playoffs, is actually just a rookie! Although talented young people are everywhere now, it is not the same as Wall, Derek. Compared to Ross and the others, his complexion is so special......"

On the TV, a program related to Yiyang is playing. Several hosts are using wonderful language and rich body movements to tell about Yiyang's incredible moments.

It's now in the playoffs, and the Mavericks advanced to the second round yesterday. So, maybe half of the ten Dallas local TV stations are talking about basketball right now.

"Take your clothes off." Just as Yiyang was sitting on the sofa watching TV, Vignarie, who was only wrapped in a bath towel, walked out of the bathroom.

The water on Vignarie's body hadn't completely dried off, and her hair was wet. At this moment, a thin bath towel is the only cover on this Italian girl. Seeing this, Yiyang swallowed his saliva.

"Undressed?"

"Go and take off your current clothes and put on a suit? You wouldn't just go to the dinner party, although I don't want to, but it's better to dress formally for this kind of business dinner. Vignali smiled as she wiped her hair.

Yiyang's face flushed, I see, what was I thinking about just now!

Yiyang only learned this morning that Vignali, who stayed in Dallas to watch Yiyang's game, was also invited by Adidas. As one of the spokespeople of Adidas, he will go to the dinner party.

So this afternoon, Yiyang came to Vignarie's hotel, and the two of them set off together later.

When Yiyang arrives in the room, Vignari goes to take a shower, and then Yiyang watches TV on the couch. However, during this period, Yiyang's attention was not on the TV at all......

"But...... I didn't bring my suit. "For a poor boy who came out of the slums, you don't expect Yiyang to have any concept of a business dinner. Moreover, Yiyang himself doesn't like to wear formal clothes very much.

"I know, so I've bought it and put it on the bed, you can go to the room and change it." Vignali said and climbed onto the couch, her face getting closer and closer to Yiyang, and the Italian girl with only a little cover was like a sultry kitten at this time.

The lips of the two touched lightly, and Yiyang instantly "bounced" off the sofa as if he had been electrocuted.

"That'...... I went to change my clothes. Yiyang staggered into the ensuite bedroom and closed the door. Looking at the protrusion of the mystery on his pants, Yiyang shook his head vigorously.

"Yi" Just as Yiyang was halfway through his clothes, Vignali's voice came from outside the door. "Remember to tie the bow tie, I put it on the bedside table."

"Oh...... Oh......"

After a while, Yiyang walked out of the bedroom, wearing a black suit with a black bow tie tied around the collar of a white shirt. Under the loose trousers, he stepped on a pair of clean and shiny black leather shoes. Of course, for Yiyang, this is far less comfortable than basketball shoes. "I feel like I look stupid right now." Yiyang stood in front of the mirror and looked at himself with open arms.

"No, you look so good! Trust me, those guys at today's banquet are going to be amazed! Vignari smiled and leaned in front of Yiyang and straightened the collar of his shirt for him.

At this time, Yiyang found out that Vignari had changed into a black evening dress. In the past, Vignali was used to wearing a loose basketball uniform, but when this Italian girl wore a dress, it was not at all out of place.

Vignari is worthy of being a model, so there is no such thing as her inappropriate dressing style.

"We're going out, too. You can't be the last one. ”

Yiyang bent down like he had seen on TV before, and then stretched out his hand like Vignary. "Please, miss."

"Hahahaha, you're a fast learner!" Vignari gracefully put her hand on Yiyang's palm, and the two of them looked like an aristocratic couple.

Driving a Ford pickup, Yiyang and Vignari arrived at the venue of the dinner after a while.

At the entrance of the hotel, a waiter stopped Yiyang's car. This kind of high-end hotel generally has a parking service, you just need to get out of the car, give the keys to the waiter, and leave nothing to worry about.

It can be seen from the surprised eyes of the parking boy that he, who has seen countless luxury cars today, has been deeply attracted by this "heavy tank". After all, it was probably the most unique car he'd ever seen today.

On the two sides of the entrance of the hotel, it was crowded with the media who rushed to hear the news and the star-chasers who were looking forward to it. After all, today, not only Yiyang and Vignarie, but also some stars in the entertainment industry will gather here. Adadas' lineup of spokespersons is not limited to sports stars.

When Yiyang appeared in front of the public with Vignari in tow, the flashing lights that had just stopped a little were busy again, flashing again.

It wasn't the first time Vignari had appeared on such an occasion, and she expertly smiled at reporters. But Yiyang, this guy walked into the hotel door with a poker face.

After the two entered the hotel, the head of the Adidas Dallas branch warmly greeted Yiyang and Vignari and introduced them to many guests who came to the dinner.

Among them, there are movie stars, oil tycoons, and personable politicians.

Yiyang kept smiling, but in fact, this had already made his face stiff.

After saying hello round, Yiyang stood alone in the middle of the crowd with a glass of juice. Vignarie, on the other hand, had to leave Yiyang for a while to spend some time with the celebrities she knew.

Yiyang doesn't like the false camaraderie of people in the Hall of Glory for their own benefit, and he doesn't want to take the initiative to meet those who have nothing to do with his career. Yiyang would rather listen to the shouts of tens of thousands of people on the court at the same time, and he couldn't stand the faint noise at the dinner.

So Yiyang walked to the balcony alone, looked at the night view of Dallas, and blew the wind by the way.

"Also, it looks like you're not having a lot of fun." Just when Yiyang was bored, a man walked towards Yiyang.
