One Guard

As time entered December, the temperature in Dallas began to drop again. There are countless fallen leaves floating on Baiyan Lake, and several cleaning boats go to the lake every day to salvage those fallen leaves that affect the beauty. Yiyang looked at the busy workers by the Baiyan Lake. Their thick attire reminded Yiyang that another winter was here.

In fact, the winter in Dallas is not too sad, and the average low temperature in December is only 3.9 degrees Celsius. Compared to cities like Minnesota, Toronto, and Milwaukee, the winter in Dallas can even be called a "warm winter."

Speaking of Milwaukee, Yiyang thought of his opponent tomorrow. The Bucks seem harmless to humans and animals, and they seem to be "sending warmth" to the other 29 teams in the league. But it is precisely in the face of this kind of team that Yiyang dare not take it lightly.

Losing to a strong team, Yiyang may feel better in his heart. But if the Mavericks lose to a bottom-best team in the league, Yiyang may not sleep for several days.

Yiyang didn't have a deep impression of the Bucks. In the past four seasons, the Bucks have not left a deep memory for Yiyang. Had it not been for O.J. Mayo to play for the Bucks at this time, he might have forgotten that there is still such a team in the NBA.

No way, a team that has been losing is rarely favored by the media and the public, so the Bucks are exposed very rarely. But this is the case in this alliance. If someone stands at the top, someone must crawl hard at the foot of the mountain.

After eating breakfast as always, Yiyang went out early, and even with the cold wind, Yiyang would be the first to the training ground every day. Fortunately, Yiyang can now drive with both hands, and he did not encounter any difficulties when he first ate the poached eggs. The finger that was accidentally sprained has basically recovered.

In winter, the streets of Dallas in the early morning are always empty. The United States is a country with a low population density and has long been accustomed to this empty street. But as long as there is a game, the area around the American Airlines Center Arena will be blocked.

I believe that tomorrow, the city of Dallas will be lively again.

Driving into the underground parking lot, Yiyang walked directly into the player channel. As always, he tidied up the bench in the locker room, and then he began to change his clothes to start warming up.

Just as Yiyang, who had changed his jersey, walked out of the locker room door, he saw a guy who shouldn't be here at this moment, Vince Carter with a gray beard.

"Vince? Why are you here so early today!?" Yiyang was very surprised looking at this old guy who once helped him shock the world in the dunk contest.

"Winter is here, my body is very cold. I want to warm up in advance to avoid injury, hehe." Carter waved his hand and approached Yiyang with a smile.

"You go first, I'll come right away. By the way, let's dunk some hoops later, it's been a long time!"

As a veteran, Carter's playing time this season is not long. After the introduction of Tony Allen and Nick Young, the old Carter finally didn't have to spend more than 30 minutes in every game. In the few minutes he played, he played a three-point shooting role most of the time. Therefore, although people can occasionally see Old Carter flying over Dallas, there are indeed fewer and fewer such images.

Even Carter himself can't hold back a bit, after all, dunking is his biggest hobby on the basketball court. So when on the training ground, Carter always dunks a few baskets to have fun.

Yiyang nodded, then turned and walked towards the training hall.

Carter has played 18 seasons in his career, but he has played less than 60 games in two seasons. One was in the 02-03 season and only played 43 games due to injuries. The other was a rookie season and only played 50 games. The reason is that there were only 50 games in total this season. He played full-time... Carter's attendance rate has been astonishingly high. Basically, he missed less than 10 games in one season. There are still a few seasons where he played full-time. Among the stars, it is very high. Seeing Carter take the initiative to warm up in advance because of the lower temperature, you can easily find out why this old guy is always able to maintain a high attendance rate.

Whether a professional player is professional or not, one can see from these details.

Carter and Yiyang first shot on the basketball court. Although Yiyang is now the star of the Mavericks, in training, Carter's shooting stability outside the three-point line is better than Yiyang.

"I know you used to learn to shoot from that guy Peja. Your shot is fast, which makes it difficult for you to be blocked. But while shooting fast, you must also control your movements and not deform. For example, Stephen Curry, this guy is a typical representative of fast and steady. You can do it fast and steady at first, but after a dozen shots, the action starts to deform. You have to pay attention to this man, because the key 'S three-pointers are often made at the end."

While warming up with Yiyang, Carter also gave his own opinions. This is why Yiyang likes to train with people like Carter, because you can always learn a lot from these old guys.

Don't underestimate this group of veterans whose data is no longer influential. The wealth they have accumulated over more than ten years of hard work in the league is not reflected in the data. Even a "water dispenser manager" like Cardinal could teach Yiyang how to defend. This shows how important the role of a veteran in a team is.

After the warm-up shot, the two were already sweating, and their bodies were fully stretched out. Carter smiled slightly at Yiyang, and it's time to dunk!

Dunk, this is purely Carter's personal hobby. Of course, it was precisely because of a shocking dunk that made Carter famous.

When Carter wreaked havoc on the rim again and again on the training ground, Yiyang could clearly see the smile on Carter's face. Perhaps these dunks that no one can see remind Carter of his glory days.

"Haha, it's so enjoyable!" Yiyang was shocked when Carter turned and dunked the basket again with a 360° turn in the air to make the basket lower his "head" again. This 37-year-old veteran can actually make such moves. Carter has kept his physical condition very good, and Yiyang even thinks that this guy can fight until the age of 40.

"Come on, you also deduct a few. It's okay, I won't be hit by you so I want to retire, hahahaha." After Carter finished deducting, he dragged Yiyang to come together, but Yiyang embarrassedly set it up. Wave your hand.

In front of this kind of Patriarch-level deduction generals, Yiyang still didn't do anything about it.

After the two sweated a lot, it was not long before the team officially started training. Therefore, Yiyang and Carter took Gatorade and sat directly on the floor, rested for a while and waited for the start of today's formal training.

"Hey, also, our record this season is very good." Carter and Yiyang chatted with each sentence, but when they talked about the topic of record, Yiyang found that Carter's smile gradually disappeared.

"Well, 16 wins and 1 loss, the best start in team history." Yiyang's tone was not excited, because it was far from enough for him.

"Haha, this year, we are very likely to enter the playoffs as No. 1 in the Western Conference, or even No. 1 in the league. We lost to the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals last year, but I think we won't lose again this year. Hey, you Say we can still win the championship this year!?" Carter finished speaking, turning his head to stare at Yiyang, his eyes full of longing.

Yes, 37-year-old Carter has won almost all personal honors that he can win in this league. Rookie of the year, dunk king, three best team, eight All-Star team selection, four of which were elected All-Star vote king. His dunk highlights are still being reposted wildly by young people on the Internet. No one can reproduce the "death button" of the Olympic Games. Even though Yiyang performed an epoch-making performance in the dunk contest two years ago, when it comes to "half-man, half-god", Carter is the first thing people think of.

This "Canadian flying man" from the United States has had a very successful career. But there is one thing that has been lingering in old Carter's heart. And because of this, he chose to continue to fight on the basketball court~www.readwn.com~ championship ring. After nearly 20 years of fighting in the league, Carter still didn't have a championship ring of his own. As a young man, he was very eager to win and a championship, but the cruel reality flattened his edges and corners.

But now, when he and his team approached the O'Brien Cup again, Carter discovered that he was still full of desire for the championship in his heart...

His former teammate Kidd won the only championship ring of his career with the Mavericks. Carter also hopes that he can accomplish this dream that has not been achieved for many years in a limited time.

Looking at the expectant Carter, Yiyang couldn't help but smile. This old man with a white beard seemed to be a kid in his early twenties when he mentioned the championship. Full of longing for the future.

"Our goal this season is the championship, rest assured Vince, six months later, it is definitely us who will be on the top of the world!" Yiyang said, reaching out a fist against Carter.

Looking at Yiyang's serious eyes, Carter seemed to really see him standing on the championship podium with others. This guy is the MVP. Who else can you trust if you don't believe him?

Carter reached out his hand and touched Yiyang lightly. At this moment, the gate of the training field was pushed open, and more and more teammates poured in.

A day of training will begin again. Although this life has been around for almost 20 years, Carter is not bored at all. After all, he is an old guy who still has dreams.

"Hey, Vince, why did you come so early today? Do you learn how to shoot?" The teammates joked with Carter.

Carter did not respond with a smile, he stood up again, and proceeded toward his previous dream.
