Nowitzki looked at his phone, it was already half past twelve in the morning, and Yiyang on the training ground didn't seem to have the slightest intention of stopping.

This guy has been practicing shooting since the end of the game, and Nowitzki was able to accompany Yiyang to practice at the beginning. But in the back, the Germans were already tired, but Yiyang was still full of vitality. Don't look at shooting is one of the most basic technical actions in basketball, but continuous shooting is also a huge test of a player's physical fitness.

"Tomorrow morning, there may be a lot of media coming out to ridicule us." Nowitzki, who was sitting on the sidelines, and Yiyang on the field chatted without a word. The thought of scoring a 7 on 25 percent accuracy would have given Germans a guess at the unsightly headlines of tomorrow's newspapers and websites.

"It doesn't matter, when we win, they'll shut up." Yiyang doesn't think anything about the Mavericks or himself in the unexpected world, he just knows that the team can't continue to lose. As for the media, those guys always have a lot to say, and they don't have to be responsible anyway.

"We're going to Los Angeles tomorrow, it's going to be a tough battle." Thinking that he was about to fight Kobe's paranoid the day after tomorrow, the Germans couldn't help but hold their foreheads.

"The Lakers are amazing." Yiyang rarely admits that his opponents are strong, after all, he was a fan of the Los Angeles Lakers before he became a professional player. "But it's not like we don't have a chance to win."

Nowitzki looked at Yiyang, does that guy know what he's talking about? Defeat the defending champion and defeat Kobe. Bryant? In his mouth, it seemed like an easy thing. But on second thought, Yiyang is such a guy. If you bring out the dynasty bull at its peak, he won't be bluffed.

"By the way, the day after tomorrow will be a two-point guard lineup, and when the time comes, you may be directly opposite Kobe."

Hearing Nowitzki say this, Yiyang's eyes lit up......

Nowitzki is right when he says that when people wake up in the night, most of what they open their eyes to see is news about the Mavericks. Of course, most of these reports have only one theme, and that is to criticize the Mavericks' defeat against the Grizzlies yesterday!

"Against a team teetering on the brink of the playoffs, the Mavericks actually lost all their panties. This is the Dallas Mavericks, and they always have a soft hand when it matters most. Don't forget, the Mavericks were eliminated by the Spurs last season. I'm not optimistic about this team, they can't play hard. Always drops the chain at critical moments and doesn't get far in the playoffs. ”

"Los Angeles Lakers? I can only pray that Kobe Bryant doesn't play too easily, or it will mess up his nature. Can you crave the Mavericks to beat the Los Angeles Lakers? Just by relying on a rookie from China? ”

"Instead of watching the Mavericks being played around by the Lakers, I should watch the Jazz and the Wizards play, at least the Wizards won't be crushed by the Jazz."

'We all know that Dirk has just come back from injury and it's normal for him not to be fit. But the Mavericks can't do anything when Dirk is not in good shape, how far can such a team that relies on stars for transition go in the playoffs? ”

......

Sure enough, it was almost all a one-sided Dallas Mavericks "critique convention." If the Mavericks players are not psychologically good, they may be drowned in these spitts.

No matter how brilliant your previous achievements were, when you fail, everyone will turn their guns on you. This is the brutal world of the NBA, where history is worthless and only ready-made victories are the capital of your talk.

Tomorrow, the Mavericks will take on the mighty Purple and Gold in Los Angeles. It would be a waste to waste this precious time in a war of words with the media.

Under Carlisle's leadership, everyone on the Mavericks is working everything. As for the official NBA media opening hours, Carlisle let a few fringe players deal with the media.

Such "encounters" naturally made reporters very unhappy, and when they couldn't get the news, they began to create "news" with their own imagination.

"Dirk and Yiyang can't cooperate?"

"Carlyle loudly reprimanded Nowitzki for being sleepwalking!"

"The Mavericks are in terrible training form because of him!"

I have to say that when it comes to brain-supplementing news, the American media are far inferior to the Chinese Internet editors.

But as long as there is a market, these news are not afraid that no one will watch them. As bizarre as the fans want, the news can be written.

In half a day, the contradictory statement in the Mavericks' locker room has become a well-known thing in the entire league.

Even Kobe, who was preparing for the game in Los Angeles, couldn't help but pick up his phone and look through the news.

Of course, Bryant didn't take these words as news at all. For him, this news is even more exciting!

"Alright, let's drill the defense again!" After reading these "news", Kobe Bryant put down his mobile phone and stood in the middle of the training ground, anxious for everyone to gather over.

"I can't believe a word of what these bullshit media say! Tomorrow's game, everyone has to give their best! The Dallas calf is not a soft persimmon! Kobe Bryant waved his arm, this No. 24 in Los Angeles is not a fool!

January 17th, an ordinary Monday, for most people, today is the beginning of a new week and the beginning of a painful workday.

But for Mavericks fans, today is more than just an ordinary Monday. They're all waiting for this big battle to play out, and they're all waiting for the Mavericks to get back on track in Los Angeles.

It's not just Mavericks fans who are looking forward to this game, Kobe Bryant. Bryant himself was already enthusiastic before the game.

Kobe Bryant still remembers that a few days ago, a reporter asked him what he thought of Coach Carlisle's price for Yiyang.

At that time, Yiyang's price was two James, or Kobe, Gasol plus Bynum. Kobe Bryant naturally didn't think much about the reasonableness of this issue, after all, it was just a joke by Carlisle. But this question made the general of the Purple Gold Army begin to notice the Mavericks' Tanhua show.

After watching Yiyang's game video, Kobe Bryant really appreciated Yiyang's strength. A guard who can organize the team's offense in his rookie season is really rare in this world.

So, Kobe Bryant has been looking forward to playing against the Mavericks. But it's not because of Nowitzki, it's because of Yiyang! This guy who is desperate for victory is almost perverted, and it doesn't matter if you're a rookie or not, as long as it's an enemy worthy of his attention, he wants to do everything in his power to defeat him!

"Paul, Andrew, you have to behave well today. If we lose, the three of us will probably be packed up and sent away. In the locker room, Bryant also joked with Gasol and Bynum. The fact that Yiyang was worth the three of them had already spread in the locker room. Kobe's words also caused everyone to laugh.

At this time, the serious-looking, gray-haired Phil. Jackson walked into the locker room. It can be seen that the experienced "Zen master", like Kobe, is very attentive to the Dallas Mavericks. Although the Mavericks have been indecisive since entering January, they have not played a super long winning streak. But I have to admit that the Mavericks are still one of the best teams in the league.

"If you lose today, I might actually do that!" Phil. Jackson apparently heard Kobe Bryant's joke just outside the door.

"Hey Phil, are we still going to stick to the main defense of Dirk?" Kobe Bryant casually communicated with the "Zen master", and the two did not look like the relationship between the head coach and the player at all, but like a pair of friends.

"Of course, Paul, today you have to stick the Germans to death on the defensive end. He's not been in good form lately, and as long as the defensive intensity goes up, that guy shouldn't be a threat. As for that troublesome Chinese rookie on the Mavericks......" Jackson said, his eyes falling on Kobe Bryant.

"Use your offense, destroy him!"

Yiyang was about to put on his jersey when he found that his phone vibrate. He turned on his phone and saw that it was Vignali who had sent him another text message to cheer him on.

It has been a long time since Vignarie came to the United States on injury and suspension. But the contact between the two has never been broken.

Vignarie's text message was nothing special, it was still to cheer for Yiyang. But thinking that there was a girl who watched her game in front of the TV in the middle of the night, Yiyang was a little grateful in his heart.

After putting away the mobile phone, Yiyang opened the cabinet and saw the commemorative baseball cap that Stevens gave him the year before Christmas. This time, Yiyang deliberately brought this hat away.

Of course, Yiyang didn't want to take this hat to Kobe Bryant for an autograph. He wears this hat and just wants to remind himself all the time. The Lakers are the defending champions, and Kobe Bryant is his idol! So today, no matter what, I have to do my best to win the game!

"Alright guys, let's brush up on those tactics we practiced yesterday!" Carlisle clapped his hands, and everyone listened intently. After a humiliating loss to the Grizzlies, the battle for reputation has begun in the locker room!

If you're a basketball fan, you might be a little dizzy when you see these names on the court as your opponents because you know what their prowess represents.

Andrew. Bynum, known as the "Little Shark," was the hero of the Lakers' two-game winning streak. This guy's explosive physicality allows him to open up for the Lakers on both ends of the floor.

Paul. Gasol, the pride of Spain, and the whole European basketball world. The combination of him and Kobe Bryant directly led to the current dominance of the Lakers in the league.

Ron. Artest, a top-tier one-on-one wing defender, was the man who once dared to fight Kobe Bryant on the basketball court. A villain who once fought from the stadium to the audience and back to the stadium from the audience. Now, he has also become Kobe's right-hand man.

Derek. Fischer, the point guard in the league who knows the most about triangle offense. A member of the 96 Golden Generation, he is also the only veteran of the team who has experienced the glory of the "OK" period.

And, of course, the scariest guy, Kobe Bryant. Bryant. The leader of the Purple and Gold Army, carrying the ancient giants of Los Angeles, continues to create brilliance. As long as the "Black Mamba" is on the floor, the Lakers will always be full of fighting spirit and will not be afraid of any opponent. His opponents have always hated him, and they can't even kill this guy. But you must know that on the basketball court, he is the "Grim Reaper" who holds a sickle and dominates life and death!

When the players from both sides stepped onto the court, Yiyang on the bench took a deep breath when he saw the five people wearing golden jerseys standing in front of him.

The battle of Los Angeles will either be won vigorously or it will die a complete death!
