Chapter 696: Mavericks? Nothing Strong

When Yiyang went to the airport to pick up Mudiay, he found some reporters scattered around the airport.

Obviously, these reporters are not waiting for Yiyang, because no one knows that Yiyang will come. They have only one goal, Emmanuel Mudiay!

Mudiay's outstanding performance in the NCAA has made him a well-known basketball star in the United States. Of course, people still don’t know about his relationship with Yiyang, nor do they know that Yiyang once lent him $1.5 million to support his family. Otherwise, Mudiay's popularity is bound to skyrocket.

After waiting for a while, Mudiay came out of the passage. The reporters also saw him and immediately surrounded him.

Although there are not many reporters, only about four or five. But I have to admit that Mudiay already looks like a star.

"Mr. Emmanuel, how would you evaluate your performance against the University of Cincinnati yesterday?" Several reporters went up and stretched the microphone to Mudiay. Yesterday, he scored 20 points and 5 rebounds in that game.

Yiyang looked at him from a distance and did not come closer. He suddenly felt a little dazed, as if he had returned to his college career.

A single-parent family, a desire to change his life through rebounding, Butler University... Mudiay and his own basketball trajectories are really similar.

After answering the reporters' questions, Mudiay quickly ran to Yiyang. He had long noticed that Yiyang was waiting for him in the distance. Although the head guard of the Dallas Mavericks was wearing a cap and sunglasses, Mudiay still recognized him at a glance.

Yiyang looked Mudiay up and down. This guy was now stronger than himself. When I first met him, he was just a kid in junior high school...

"What's the matter?"

"Nothing, welcome home, Moody." Yiyang originally wanted to touch Moody's head, but it seemed inappropriate to do so now. So he simply patted the other party's shoulder and said, "Let's go, your mother must not be able to wait any longer."

From Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport to downtown Dallas, and then slowly drive from the bustling streets of Dallas to Ellington in the corner of the city. Mudiay was deeply moved by the constant changes in scenery along the way.

When the car drove on the most dilapidated streets and looked at the most chaotic environment, Mudiay couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken.

My mother still lives in a place like this.

After getting out of the car, Yiyang knocked on the door of Mudiay's house. The person who answered the door was Mudiay's mother. When he saw his son behind Yiyang, the mother's eyes instantly turned red, and she rushed forward and took him into her arms.

Yiyang also giggled because Mudiay's mother's body looked much better than before.

Entering the Mudiay family's small house, Wen Xue was already helping in the kitchen. Although Wenxue now lives in a large villa on the shore of Baiyan Lake, and has an Italian wife. But she still hasn't forgotten where she came from, so she doesn't object at all to doing housework in the slums.

Some people will undergo earth-shaking changes after they have money, but some people will never change in their lifetime.

Although there are no brightly lit scenes at Mudiay's house, there are no delicacies from world-famous chefs. But here is the most important thing about Christmas, warmth.

The Mudiay family and the Yiyang family were like real families, talking and laughing at the dinner table. Yiyang shared interesting stories about playing in the NBA, which made Mudiay yearn for it. When Mudiay talked about his experience playing in the NCAA, Yiyang felt extremely nostalgic.

After three rounds of drinking, the dinner also came to an end. Yiyang and Mudiay walked to the backyard basketball court as always, where no one would disturb them. Only there would they have conversations between men.

Walking to the backyard, Yiyang picked up the basketball on the ground and shot one at random. Even though he had just drank some wine, Yiyang was still on point. The basketball went directly through the hoop without a net and fell to the concrete floor.

"Thank you, Yi."

"Don't thank me,

I said, you have to pay me back the 1.5 million, hahaha. "

"No, I'm not talking about this. I just want to thank you for insisting that I play college basketball." Mudiay's expression was serious and full of gratitude.

“Feeling the charm of college basketball?”

"The purest charm, no business, no fraud, just basketball itself. Moreover, it was only when I went to college that I realized that I still have many shortcomings. If I go to play in the professional league by myself, maybe I will not be able to improve myself in my whole life."

"This is the purpose of letting you go to college. If you go to CBA, with all due respect, you really won't learn anything." Yiyang couldn't help but shook his head. He saw the state of the young Chinese team members in the national team this summer. , Yiyang probably knows what CBA is about.

Those young people all have potential. If they can receive training in the NBA or NCAA, they will definitely be able to reach the next level. It's a pity that the general environment dictates this.

"In half a year, I will participate in the draft. They predict that I will be selected in the top three, but I have no desire to join other teams."

"Other teams? Is it possible that you already have a favorite team in mind?" Yiyang looked at Mudiay with interest.

Mudiay nodded slightly.

"Oh? I would like to know which team is favored by a genius like you."

"Dallas Mavericks."

Mudiay's answer made Yiyang's eyes widen.

"Dallas Mavericks? Hahahahaha, I don't know if Cuban will trade up draft picks for you. I only know that our positions overlap, and it will not be easy for you to beat me to the starting lineup."

"Then I will be your substitute for the rest of my life, assist you, and do what I should do when you need a rest." Mudiay's expression was serious, not joking at all.

A rookie who was predicted to be selected in the lottery actually wanted to play as a backup in the NBA for the rest of his life. Even Iguodala, who doesn't like to be in the limelight, would never have thought this way before.

But this is what Mudiay really thinks. He owes Yiyang a lot. He believes that only by doing his best to assist Yiyang and his team in the professional league can he repay all this.

Yiyang did not answer Mudiay, just smiled and shook his head. "Silly boy, come on, let's do some exercise after meals. Let me see what you can do after you go to college!"

"I won't show mercy."

"Hey, the momentum is pretty good. I'm looking forward to it."

Looking at the two boys bullfighting in the backyard, Mudiay's mother smiled and shook her head. No matter how many years have passed, these two guys are still like ignorant big boys...

※※※

Yiyang didn't stay at Mudiay's house for too long. After all, there was a Christmas battle waiting for him tomorrow. Regardless of Yiyang's unwillingness, he will complete his work conscientiously.

What's more, the Cleveland Cavaliers are by no means an opponent that can be dealt with lightly.

If the Mavericks can reach the Finals this year, the Cleveland Cavaliers will undoubtedly be their most likely enemy.

Therefore, every battle with the Cavaliers in the regular season is crucial. Only competition is the best way to understand each other.

After returning home, Yiyang shot baskets in his backyard for a while, took a bath, and finally went to bed to fall asleep.

When Yiyang turned on his phone, he realized that people were already very excited about tomorrow's game.

The Christmas game is undoubtedly the most intense day of the regular season. Fans are excited about this, and understandably so.

Yiyang read every article about the preview of the Christmas game. Naturally, the focus of the showdown between the Mavericks and the Cavaliers was placed at the end.

"The Cleveland Cavaliers' current record of 17 wins and 10 losses has obviously not met expectations, but this is related to their lack of adjustment and a steady stream of injuries. I must remind everyone that the Cavaliers have won 4 consecutive victories recently. Their lineup is complete , and it has almost passed the running-in period. Looking at the Mavericks, the intensive schedule seems to overwhelm their aging lineup. Coach Carlisle has made rest adjustments in the last two games, but rest cannot cover up their physical fitness. To the bottleneck problem. I think the Cleveland Cavaliers, who are gaining momentum, will definitely win the Christmas game!"

"LeBron James and James collided again. In last season's finals, James was unable to survive alone, and was eventually swept out with a humiliating score of 4-0. But believe me, LeBron is a guy who must avenge himself. Tomorrow's game, He's not going to make it easy for Yi and the Mavericks."

"Although the Dallas Mavericks are currently number one in the league, and their record of 27 wins and 3 losses is much more dazzling than the Cavaliers. But one thing you have to admit is that as the season continues, as the Mavericks' physical fitness begins to Attrition, they have begun to lose more and more frequently. Throughout October and November, they have not lost. But so far in December, they have lost three games. It is difficult for me to say whether the Christmas game against the Mavericks will gain Their fourth loss. But I know LeBron would love to do it."

"A very interesting matchup, also against LeBron, Wade will also turn against LeBron. I think in tomorrow's game, looking at the younger Irving next to James, we should understand the pain of partnering with Wade."

Sure enough, most media in the world still want the Mavericks to lose. Before, it was because they always underestimated the Mavericks. But this year, it's because the Mavericks are so strong that they are jealous.

After all, most of the teams in this league have lost to the Mavericks. There is no doubt that the Mavericks are now the public enemy of the entire league.

However, the media's remarks did not make Yiyang angry. Instead, he wanted to laugh. These idiots don't even have IQ for the sake of being black.

But then, Yiyang came across another video. This video was posted on the Cavaliers' official Twitter account, and the protagonist of the video is Kevin Love.

"Indeed, on the offensive end, the Mavericks can shoot from any angle, but after getting Wade, their lineup has become increasingly aging, and they have lost energetic young people such as Darren Collison and Nick Young. It is precisely because of this In this way, it's hard to say whether the Mavericks have really become stronger. But for the Cleveland Cavaliers, I can decisively say that we are stronger than ever. Don't worry, during the Christmas game, we will let the Mavericks see who is the boss. .”

Love faced the camera with a relaxed expression on his face. Yiyang hurriedly searched his memory and found that the Timberwolves seemed to have not entered the playoffs in the past few years, and naturally he and Love had never played against each other in the playoffs.

No wonder Love is so confident, because he doesn't even know how scary the Mavericks are with full firepower.

In this case, let me take this opportunity to let you see if the Mavericks have become stronger!

Yiyang put down his phone and began to recharge his batteries. After two consecutive losses, it seems that people have forgotten the horror of being dominated by the Dallas Cowboys.

Tomorrow, Yiyang will let you think about it again!
