One Guard

Chapter 518: The winner out

The San Antonio Spurs finally returned to the Finals after six years, and Tracy McGrady, who is loved by Chinese fans, finally got a chance to win a championship ring. But at this time, not many Chinese fans will be happy because Tracy McGrady finally entered the finals. Chinese fans already have an outside hero of their own, and at this time, they are all feeling sad because of Yiyang's elimination.

"Actually, there is nothing to be sad about. The Mavericks are not a failure this season, and this season can be described as a success. He became the second youngest regular season MV after Derrick Rose and the first in NA history. A Chinese player who enjoys this honor. He signed a 100 million yuan contract with Adidas. I believe the Mavericks will definitely pay a high price for him this summer. Yiyang has become a symbol, a symbol of Chinese basketball, and a symbol of Dallas. A symbol, even a symbol of the entire league. He has been compared to superstars such as LeBron James, Kobe Bryant, Kevin Durant, etc. And we have to know that this is only the third of his career. What a year! So regarding whether Yi failed this season, I think he did not fail, but succeeded. This is very likely to be the beginning of Yi's peak period."

The day after the Mavericks were eliminated, ESN's head commentator Mike Breen published his article on the NA official website. "Dallas Mavericks, Winners Out", this title has already pointed out the content of the article. Although the Mavericks lost to the Spurs 2-4 in the Western Conference Finals, the legendary season of the Mavericks and Yiyang cannot be described in just a few words.

Mike Breen's article was recognized and praised by many NA celebrities, including Kobe Bryant who was recovering from his injury at home. The most eye-catching thing is what **Vic said to reporters in an interview the day after the game.

"After the game ended yesterday, we saw that you seemed to have a few words with Yi in front of him. So, Mr. Vicky, could you please reveal the content of the conversation between the two of you?" The reporters knew that after reaching the finals, **Vicci is in a good mood. Now that I'm interviewing him, he probably won't be fooled by this old man's made-up jokes.

"Is it convenient to reveal it? It's not convenient." After finishing speaking, **Vicci felt secretly happy when he looked at the frustrated expressions of the reporters.

"Actually, it's nothing. Do you think I will be like Tim, deceiving others that the future is yours?" At this point, the reporters couldn't help laughing. **Vicci makes fun of his own players, but he never shows mercy.

"I just told him that failure is nothing to be afraid of. He is also an outstanding player, a very outstanding player. He put me and my team into a tough battle. I am not bragging myself, but if a person does not have a few pounds, There's no way they could have pushed us that hard. If you really want to say there's a flaw in this series, well, it's that he shouldn't have made that damn buzzer-beater in Game 5. So, we still have It gives me two more days of rest.”

Although **Vic's answer is still not serious, when he uses the word "very outstanding" to describe a player, it shows that this player has left a very deep impression on the picky old man.

Mike Breen's article was not only approved by stars and coaches, but also confirmed by NA officials.

One day after the article was published, NA officially announced the list of this year's NA All-Defensive Team.

Once this list was announced, it immediately caused an uproar in the outside world. Because this year, not five players were selected to the All-Defensive Team, but six players! Since Tyson Chandler and Chris Paul have the same points, according to league regulations, when the scores are tied, the quota for the best team will be increased.

As for why Paul, who has always been excellent in defense, got the same score this year, it was not because of anything else, but precisely because many people voted their precious votes for Yiyang!

Tony Allen, Serge Ibaka, LeBron James, Yiyang, Chris Paul and Tyson Chandler, these six players form NA's best defensive first team this year. Gasol, who was selected as the best defensive player, surprisingly did not appear in this lineup. It can be seen from this how fierce the competition for the best defensive team this year is.

Yiyang is undoubtedly the most special existence among these six. He is the only yellow person on this list and is also the youngest player. Back then, even a super center as strong as Yao Ming had never had any contact with the NA All-Defensive Team. And Yiyang, in the third year of his career, was directly selected for the best defensive team with his height of 1.93 meters and not too strong body!

"Stop comparing me to him, I'm embarrassed." Yao Ming said while being interviewed by reporters, waving his hands in embarrassment.

Seeing that he was selected into the best defensive team, seeing that he was unanimously recognized by people inside and outside the industry, Yiyang's devastated mood after being eliminated finally improved.

The afternoon after Yiyang was selected for the All-Defensive Team, Adidas couldn't wait to announce that they would officially start producing his first-generation signature boots with Yiyang! For the first time in the history of Adidas, it has cooperated with Chinese athletes to launch sneaker products, which are expected to be available to the world in the new season!

Although he lost the series, Yiyang had to admit that besides the competition, there had been a lot of good things recently.

The technical staff of Adidas came to Yiyang's house in person that afternoon. Bill Duffy was originally going to come, but due to Jennings' summer transfer issue, the ace manager was very busy at this time. So Duffy gave instructions to Yiyang on the phone.

"This is not a business negotiation, there's nothing to worry about. You just tell the guys what kind of basketball shoes you want to wear, and then there's a whole scientific team behind Adidas that will work hard to achieve what you said. So, you just say it. That's all your request. You can have a very pleasant conversation with them even if I'm not here."

Duffy has said so, what else does Yiyang have to hesitate? Before the Adidas team arrived, Vignali helped Yiyang think of many cool sneaker styles. However, the style designed by Vignali, an avid AJ series sneaker enthusiast, has some shadow of AJ. As a competitor of Nike and AJ, it is probably difficult for Adidas to adopt the design of the Italian girl.

Yiyang also discussed with Stevens, Carlisle, Nowitzki and others about the most important thing besides appearance of sneakers - functionality, higher uppers, better anti-slip effect, etc. Carlisle, a professional guy, even talked to Yiyang about the materials for making sneakers, such as Oost cushioning technology, rimeknit woven materials... Although Yiyang is a professional player, talking about these proprietary materials is confusing. Yiyang was still stunned for a moment after hearing the words.

After discussing it with his relatives and friends, Yiyang returned home early in the afternoon, with the results of the discussion in his mind, waiting for the first visit from Adidas sneaker technicians.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, two Adidas staff members in suits rang the doorbell of Yiyang's house. As always, Wenxue prepared snacks and hot coffee for the guests. Yiyang's home is a place where almost everyone is willing to come, because here you can always feel the warmth of family.

"Congratulations to you, Mr. Yi. Let me tell you, the best defensive team will definitely be without a talent like you!"

The technical staff of Adidas are very enthusiastic, but Yiyang... It's not that this guy hates others, but if he also goes to say some pleasantries, then he is not Yiyang.

After Yiyang shook hands with the technician, he led them into the room without saying a word. It was Wen Xue's warm invitation to sit down that made the atmosphere less awkward.

"We don't need to repeat the purpose of our visit today to Mr. Yi, right?" Adidas's technical staff knew that Yiyang's personality was like this, so they didn't talk nonsense and went straight to the topic.

"Well, I don't know much about the design of sneakers." Yiyang also got straight to the point.

"It doesn't matter. You are responsible for playing on the court. You are a professional. As for the design of sneakers, leave it to us. We are professionals in this regard!" The technical staff of Adidas patted their chests. Such a big company can create a Signature shoes from football stars are a piece of cake.

"Speaking of requirements..." Yiyang began to recall the results of his discussion with others earlier today in his mind. What midsole, what material... Yiyang can't remember those terms. A look similar to AJ? Yiyang felt that asking Adidas to do this was a bit excessive. What other sole textures, what high-top and low-top...

Yiyang can handle the team's offense in an orderly manner on the court, but putting this kind of messy things in his mind and asking him to relay it is simply the same as asking him to shoot three-pointers in the midfield and ensure a hit rate. Just as hard.

After thinking for a long time, Yiyang looked at the technician in front of him. The technician quickly took out his tablet and prepared to write down Yiyang's various needs.

"Quick and light."

"Well, fast, light." The technician wrote these two words and then waited for Yiyang's next instruction. But after waiting for more than ten seconds, Yiyang still didn't make a sound.

The technician looked away from the tablet and stared at Yiyang. "It's okay, Mr. Yi, just go ahead and I'll remember to come over."

The technician smiled. He thought Yiyang was waiting for him to write.

"I'm done." Yiyang replied with a serious look.

"Huh?" The technician was confused.

"This is my request. If you can still make it... try to make this pair of shoes look better, preferably with more colors." Yiyang scratched his head in embarrassment, as if he was making a request. It seems like a lot.

Wen Xue, who was sitting aside and heard the conversation between the two, couldn't help but smile. This silly kid really hasn't changed at all...
