One Guard

"The seventh overall pick in the 2018 NBA Draft, the Denver Nuggets chose...Emanuel Mudiay, from Butler University!"

On the TV, Mudiay walked onto the podium with a green smile, put on the Denver Nuggets baseball cap, and cordially ranked seventh in the draft with Adam. Mudiay undoubtedly fulfilled his dream. When I met that kid in a restaurant in Dallas, maybe even Yiyang didn't expect that guy would one day become an NBA-level professional player and be selected in the lottery zone.

But seeing this result, Yiyang was both happy and a little disappointed. In Yiyang's heart, Mudiay shouldn't be just seventh overall. You know, when he was in high school, he was still called the next champion candidate. If it weren't for Yiyang to let him play the NCAA, perhaps Mudiay would be even worse now.

A rookie with a high draft is the savior for most teams! Therefore, every team is very cautious, for fear that the one they choose is "parallel imports."

On the surface, Moody's looks very good, with body and speed, but in fact scouts should be like Yiyang, and they find that Moody's has more shortcomings than advantages!

Yiyang picked up the mobile phone, but did not make a call. Since the last time they fought with Mudiay in New York, the two have not spoken again. Yiyang shook his head. He is not a person who is good at reasoning. I hope that kid can understand what I mean.

NBA, it's not that simple!

Yiyang simply did not continue to think about Mudiay. Next, it is time to see who Cuban can pick in the draft this year.

Before the Mavericks' 30th overall pick, Cuban used his first and second round picks plus some cash to trade up to the Lakers' No. 26 pick.

With just the top four picks, the Lakers got an extra second-round pick. For the Lakers who desperately need potential newcomers, this is undoubtedly a stable business. For the Mavericks, the championship team, they don't need so many rookies to pan for gold, but just choose what they like.

So in the 26th overall pick, the Mavericks eventually picked "Star II" Larry Lance II. At that time, many critics did not understand the operation of Cuban. "Why do they choose a guy who can't shoot, can't defend, and can't do anything except bounce?"

But Cuban never cared what the critics said. When Yiyang was first selected, didn't those critics also criticize it?

In this way, the 2015 NBA Draft came to an end. After the draft, Yiyang also temporarily put down his basketball and stayed with his wife and mother wholeheartedly.

In early July, Yiyang went home with Vignali, mainly to tell Vignali's parents about the pregnancy in person.

When I heard the news, the old Italian couple was not too happy. Unknowingly, their youngest daughter has reached the age to be a mother.

Of course, Yiyang has another purpose to accompany his wife to Italy, that is, Vignali has completely transformed and wants to be a full-time model. After retiring from basketball, Vignali has more time to accompany her husband. But as a young woman, Vignari didn't want to stay at home all day. A job is still necessary. The only requirement is that this job cannot separate her from Yiyang.

And to become a luxury brand's print advertising model, just can meet the requirements of Vignali.

Ferragamo, a well-known Italian luxury fashion brand, has thrown an olive branch to the popular queen Vignali, hoping that she can become the brand's spokesperson. With Vignali's popularity in the United States and China, Ferragamo believes that they will open up a larger market.

Yiyang accompanied his wife to complete the signing ceremony, and the appearance of Yiyang continued to arouse the interest of reporters on the spot. Although the people here are all fashion reporters, everyone knows that Yiyang is the hottest public figure today. Now that they can see it with their own eyes, those reporters don't spare their films.

With Yiyang helping out, the entire signing ceremony went smoothly. Vignali may be the first woman who can quickly transition from the sports circle to the fashion circle without any barriers.

In order to get Vignali, Ferragamo specially prepared a photography team for her. When there was a shooting mission, Vignali did not use it in Italy, but the whole team went to Dallas from Italy. This is also the biggest reason why Vignali chose to sign with him. She can start her work smoothly without leaving Dallas.

From now on, Yiyang will go home after playing away games, so she won't have to be alone anymore.

Subsequently, Yiyang and Vignali flew directly to Germany to participate in the design and development conference of Yiyang's third-generation sneakers.

Compared to when Yiyang's sneakers were just launched, the Adidas team involved in the design is now stronger. After all, the rapid fall of Derek Rose was something that Adidas never expected. According to Rose's current state, most of their contracts of hundreds of millions of dollars are in vain, and Rose's influence is falling off a cliff. This can be seen from the sales of Rose's sneakers.

But fortunately, Yiyang's rapid progress has filled Adidas' losses. Now, Adidas only has Yiyang as a spokesperson with sufficient weight. Although they have begun to fight Lillard and Harden's ideas, right now, Yiyang is the only face of Adidas!

Therefore, the entire company has devoted its energy to Yiyang to build his personal brand in all aspects. From T-shirts to protective gear and even surrounding dolls! And basketball shoes are the most important part of all these things.

The launch ceremony of the sneaker project was very lively. Adidas founder Adidas attended the scene, and large posters of Yiyang were also seen everywhere. The whole ceremony was carried out perfectly in a friendly and lively atmosphere.

Yiyang's ability to attract gold has allowed Adidas to the point where the entire company serves one person!

Throughout July, Yiyang and Vignali were traveling while handling these commercial activities properly. During this period, Yiyang and Vignali finally knew what a "VIP-level" treatment was.

Because both Ferragamo and Adidas regard them as the most important strategic figures. Naturally, both companies take good care of them. During this period, many of the expenses of the two people were reimbursed by the company, and there were even special car transfers and special tour guides.

Although the money was not too much for Yiyang, it made him fully feel the sincerity of the other party.

After July, Yiyang and Vignali finally returned to the United States. At this time, the Mavericks are also preparing to search for useful talent in the free agency market.

As a championship team, the Mavericks' lineup doesn't actually need to be changed too much, that is, it is just checking for deficiencies. Random signings will destroy the team's chemical reaction.

Two days ago, Cuban signed the first man of the summer, power center Sara Mejri from Tunisia. Since Dalem Porter retired this summer and has not renewed his contract with the Mavericks so far, Cuban must prepare in advance, so he signed such a big center who has just completed the triple crown with Real Madrid in Europe. .

Majori was very excited when he learned that he had been photographed by the Mavericks, and said that he would visit Yiyang personally after arriving in Dallas.

"It is my dream to play with such a great player!" In an interview with reporters, Majori made no secret of his excitement.

At this point, the Mavericks' inside line has become an all-European lineup, from Gobert to Dirk, and then to Majori, it can be seen that Cuban's love for international players is really extraordinary. The name of the Dallas "International Team" is worthy of the name.

Even so, no one dares to say that the Mavericks' inside line is a weakness. Sometimes, the all-European lineup ~www.readwn.com~ is no worse than the all-American lineup.

Of course, the people who want to cooperate with Yiyang are not only grassroots like Majori. Some celebrities finally got this opportunity.

One afternoon in early August, Yiyang was watching TV with his wife while doing his own training plan this summer. The young Brickley is now one of the most famous trainers in the world, and Yiyang’s habit of having to go to training camps every year is also overwhelming. Even if he got married last year, Yiyang took time to stay there for a long time.

But a ringing of the phone broke the tranquil atmosphere of this afternoon. Yiyang thought it was Cuban. Now every time the Mavericks complete a contract, Cuban will ventilate Yiyang.

But when Yiyang picked up the phone and saw the caller ID number, he was a little surprised.

"Who?" Vignali asked curiously when she saw Yiyang hadn't answered the phone for a long time.

"Um... an old friend."

On the screen of the phone, the surprising name "Steve Nash" was displayed.
