One Guard

Qiu Yiyang's incredible "Flu War" almost dominated the programs of all sports channels. In Dallas, countless fans took to the streets and held up signs to express their support for Yiyang. Even when there is no game, there are crowds of people outside the American Airlines Center, just waiting for the moment when Yiyang enters and exits the training hall to pay their respects to the hero of Dallas.

Yiyang, this Chinese name has become the pride of the American city of Dallas. When mentioning Dallas, many people think not of White Rock Lake and the Kennedy Memorial, but of Yiyang, a guy with yellow skin and black hair.

In the eyes of fans and teammates, Yiyang is a hero, but in the eyes of Wenxue and Vignali, Yiyang is the number one idiot in the world.

"Do you know how worried I was watching the whole game!? There are 82 games in the regular season. Is the victory of a game more important than your health!?" During the phone call, Vignali's big brother The roar almost burst Yiyang's eardrums.

In the past four years, Yiyang found that this seemed to be the first time Vignali had lost her temper. However, this reason for losing his temper did not cause any cracks in the relationship between the two. On the contrary, it made Yiyang secretly proud.

The current me is no longer the Asian boy that no one cared about.

Some people care about whether Yiyang wins, and naturally, some people care about whether Yiyang is tired or not.

Although he was scolded by Vignali, Yiyang couldn't stop laughing after answering the phone. This made Wen Xue worried for a long time. Would his son be burned to death?

Facts have proved that not only was Yiyang not burned out, but after he recovered from the illness, the guy almost seamlessly returned to his excellent state before he fell ill.

Taking a day off after defeating the Raptors, the Dallas Mavericks continue their long January road trip. This time, their destination is New Orleans.

Before the start of this game, Nowitzki accidentally sprained his knee during training, which undoubtedly made Carlisle very irritable.

Yiyang had just recovered from the flu, and thought that the Mavericks could finally show off their talents. Yes, Yiyang is fine, Nowitzki is on his knees again. The continuous and intensive road trips allowed Carlisle to greet the families of league officials for countless times this season.

Fortunately, Dirk's knee was only slightly sprained and he could just sit out for a while. So this game in New Orleans became a paradise for the Hornets' new top pick Anthony Davis.

Without Nowitzki's suppression, Anthony Davis was completely liberated. The Mavericks' height at the fourth position has been criticized. Except for Nowitzki, Marion and DeJuan Blair are only over two meters tall.

This makes Anthony Davis, who has thick eyebrows, play out of position almost every time he holds the ball, and the No. 1 pick also shows his talent, being unstoppable inside and outside.

He only averaged 13 points per game in his rookie season, but his points per game this season have soared to 20. He is good at shooting and his skills around the basket are quite solid. He can be said to be a typical representative of modern star insiders.

Even Marion, who often plays the third position, feels that it is very difficult for him to bite the 2.08-meter "big eyebrow brother".

For a modern star inside, the offensive range will not be limited to the three-second zone. And the running speed must be able to keep up with the rhythm of the little guys. Anthony Davis is undoubtedly the best among them, and he also performed well.

With 21 points and 13 rebounds in the game, Davis fully demonstrated his No. 1 pick-level talent.

But unfortunately, Yiyang made Davis' big double-double meaningless. After losing Chris Paul, the Hornets simply don't have a defender who can compete with Yiyang. Although Eric Gordon was very willing to fight on the defensive end, he was unable to contain Yiyang's performance due to his lack of height and wingspan.

34 points, 13 assists, 5 rebounds, 2 steals and 1 block. After Yiyang fell ill, he announced his return in a high-profile manner with a double-double that was even more exaggerated than Davis. In fact, the game he played in Toronto when he was sick the day before yesterday was high-profile enough.

"If a guy can score 13 points in two minutes when he has a fever, then I wouldn't be surprised if he scores 34 points and 13 assists when healthy." Chris Webber stood Behind the commentary desk, there was applause for Yiyang.

He was not originally required to commentate on today's game, but the former Kings legendary forward took the initiative to apply to come to New Orleans to commentate on the game. The purpose is to see the subsequent performance of Miraculous Yiyang.

However, Yiyang did not disappoint him. His outstanding performance allowed the Mavericks to defeat the fourth-last Hornets in the Western Conference 107-90 in an away game. The winning streak reached 22 games. Another 22-game winning streak that excited Chinese fans appeared!

The combination of Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady undoubtedly made Chinese fans extremely heartbroken. Both of them ended their careers early due to injuries, and they never received any outstanding personal honors. But they still left many impressive things for Chinese fans, and 22 consecutive victories is one of them.

But now, a guy who is not as tall as Yao Ming has regained the basketball dream of countless Chinese people.

This time Yiyang's 22-game winning streak is more pure than Yao Ming's, because not all of the Rockets' 22 wins were related to Yao Ming. Yao Ming collapsed during the team's 12th consecutive victory. Yao Ming experienced the remaining 10 consecutive victories as a bystander.

But Yiyang is different. He was directly involved in all 22 consecutive victories of the Mavericks. In these 22 games, Yiyang averaged 32.6 points and 12.3 assists per game. Two games scored 40 points and one game scored 50 points. If it weren't for the fact that Yiyang "only" scored 13 points in the last game, his data would be even better.

Therefore, although it is also a 22-game winning streak, Yiyang's importance in it is incomparable to that of Yao Ming.

Riding the aura of 22 consecutive victories, the players of the Dallas Mavericks, instead of being overwhelmed by the pressure, became more and more excited as they played.

On January 26, the Mavericks finally returned to their home court at the American Airlines Center Arena. With the enthusiastic support of the fans, they defeated the Pistons, the fourth-last team in the Eastern Conference, here again. Bottom-tier teams like the Pistons and Hornets have no way of posing a threat to the Mavericks.

Bill Duffy went to the American Airlines Center to watch the game in person, and his two most profitable defenders did not disappoint him.

Jennings was on fire today, scoring 26 points in the game and shooting a gratifying 55.6% from the field. Yiyang's defense is as tight as ever, but once Jennings' "twitching hand" starts, there is no reason to say it.

Although Jennings' performance was outstanding, Yiyang's 30 points and 11 adequate performances undoubtedly overwhelmed the rookie who was already at his peak.

Yiyang and Jennings can be said to be evenly matched today, but the overall performances of the Mavericks and Pistons are far apart.

Under Yiyang's organization, the Mavericks got many open shooting opportunities today. The Pistons that relied on iron-blooded defense to conquer the league back then are dead. Today's Pistons team is a complete mess defensively.

With their super high offensive efficiency, the Mavericks finally settled the battle 116-106 at home. Nowitzki and Iguodala both scored 20 points each, and 23 consecutive victories were at hand. The third place in history was instantly written with the words "Dallas Mavericks"!

Now, the Mavericks are only four games away from the second-longest winning streak in NBA history, the 27-game winning streak set by the Miami Heat last season! People are looking forward to it, hoping that Yiyang can lead the Mavericks to continue to create miracles!

"27 consecutive wins? That's just a record. If the Mavericks have the ability to break it, then let's break it." Facing reporters' questions, James seemed not to care about how many goals the Mavericks won in the regular season. Even though the 23-game winning streak has threatened the historical record he set last season, James looks meaningless.

Indeed, all James can think about now is how to win the championship, and those things in the regular season no longer interest him.

So what if we have an 82-game winning streak in the regular season? If you can't win a championship in the playoffs, everything is meaningless.

It turns out that James's point of view is very wise. Just when everyone else was still expecting the Mavericks to continue their winning streak, something dramatic happened.

On January 29, the Mavericks faced the opponent at home, the fierce creator of the 22-game winning streak that had just been surpassed, the Houston Rockets.

Although there is no dispute between the current Rockets team and the Rockets team back then, everything from the head coach to the players has been changed. But in the eyes of the fans, they are still one.

This game is known as the Rockets' battle to defend their record. Although the record has been broken, if the Rockets can win the game on the Mavericks' 23-game winning streak, it will also be a proof of their strength.

Before the game started, Yiyang's old enemy Howard threatened that he would become the Mavericks' winning streak terminator. And this time, Howard finally did what he said.

The Rockets looked like they were playing hard in this game, with 7 players scoring in double figures in the game! Howard, Harden and "rich coach" Chandler Parsons even scored 68 points together.

The Mavericks still performed well, but unfortunately, the Rockets' performance even exceeded the expectations of Rockets fans themselves. The Rockets' shooting percentage in the entire game was as high as 65%. Yiyang believes that this number can only be seen in the NBA2K game except today.

At this point, the Mavericks' winning streak is fixed at the number 23. Although he failed to reach the second place in history, he is definitely among the top three in history. After almost two months, the numbers in the Mavericks' losing column were finally changed.

With 41 wins and 5 losses, although the Dallas Mavericks lost, they still have the best record in the league, bar none.

It is precisely because the Rockets defeated the best team in the league that Howard became very arrogant after the game!

"If the Mavericks had met us earlier, their winning streak wouldn't have been as long as it was. We became the first team in the league to win at American Airlines Center this season, and that was a real battle. The Mavericks can only steal the winning record from the weak! After all, their star player is just an All-Star backup guard." In the media reception room, Howard did not save any face for Yiyang. Due to Kobe Bryant's injury this season, the news that Harden will replace the "Black Mamba" as the starting shooting guard of the Western Conference Stars has made the entire Houston city very excited.

You know, this is the first All-Star starting player from the Rockets since the "post-Yao Ming era"!

Howard also used this incident to show off to the media, and of course he didn't forget to step on Yiyang.

After hearing what Howard said, Mu Ran, who was sitting underneath, smiled.

"I'm afraid you haven't figured out the situation yet, Mr. Dwight." Mu Ran suddenly stood up, interrupting "Warcraft"'s iconic sunny smile.

"You are not an All-Star substitute player. The results of this season's All-Star voting have just been released. With 2,458,278 votes, he beat Chris Paul and was selected into the starting lineup of the NBA Western Conference Stars! By the way, by the way . With 2,458,278 votes, Yi became the top vote-getter in this year’s All-Star Game! And you, you are the backup center for the Western Conference Stars, congratulations!” Mu Ran deliberately pronounced the word “substitute” very heavily in the end.

Seeing Howard's surprised and uncomfortable expression, Mu Ran sat back in his seat with a smile.

Although the Mavericks lost today, being selected as an All-Star starter and being voted the top vote-getter should be able to make up for some of the regrets of losing...
