Basketball: Man in 08, three months left before the Olympics

When Dayao arrived, a cold wind was blowing at Dallas Fort Worth International Airport.

The cold wind on a winter night is like a knife.

Although it doesn’t snow, it’s exceptionally cold.

The smile on Dayao’s face was particularly warm and eager here.

Pei Yun and UAE had the same smile.

Ah Lian patted Dayao’s shoulder: “Dayao, you really came!” ”

Da Yao smiled: “I have wanted to come for a long time, and I have prepared in advance, waiting for the official announcement, won’t I just come!” ”

Pei Yun spread his hands: “Welcome, Dayao, join our Dallas family, let’s go, the reception banquet has been prepared for you!” ”

Dayao said: “Huh, I said, my injury is just not long ago, let’s not drink, right?” ”

Pei Yun said: “What kind of wine to drink, our dinner party, but the authentic characteristics of the Dragon Kingdom!” ”

……

Inside Pei Yun’s private villa, the lights are colorful.

Lanterns are hung on the gate, and new links are also pasted on the door.

At the door, two foreign relatives and friends, one big and one small, also dressed in Tang costumes and welcomed the returning people with Chinese that were not perfect.

“Hey, little Luca, this kid is growing really fast and tall, come and hug me!” Da Yao recognized Little Luca, who was welcome at the door, at a glance.

As early as the end of the Olympic Games, when the Dragon Kingdom national team, Dayao knew Pei Yun, a little apprentice.

After that, he came to the Mavericks to play away from home, and also met him as a “mascot” on the sidelines.

Now that he saw him again, looking at Little Luca in a Tang costume, he felt very close.

“Sabina and Luca are going to celebrate our Spring Festival, she specially learned the craft of making dumplings, go, taste.” As the host, Pei Yun invited everyone to enter together at the door.

“Dumplings? I haven’t eaten it for a long time! Dayao said excitedly.

Like hometown, every place is full of the breath of the Dragon Kingdom, and although Dayao is here for the first time, he is not restrained at all.

Plus there are “old friends” in the UAE.

For a while, the atmosphere was warm.

Drinking the unique white wine of the Dragon Kingdom, dumplings and peanut rice, this night, there is no less topic.

“I tell you, Brother Yao, after you come to us, look at the whole alliance, we are invincible, invincible!”

After three cups of belly, the Arab Union, who usually does not talk much, began to float.

Dayao also slapped his palm on the table: “That’s right, don’t worry, my injury has been healed, I watched your last open pioneer, it’s okay, the next time I meet them, Auden handed it over to me!” ”

The UAE was interested: “Okay, come, Brother Yao, do it, don’t say anything else, the substitute lineup will be handed over to me, and I will grab the rebound attack with one hand!” ”

In order to trade Dayao, the Mavericks used all the inside lines they pressed at the bottom of the box as chips.

As soon as Dampier and Diop left, the Mavericks’ interior players were only Dayao, Nowitzki and the UAE.

Dayao and Novitsky are definitely the starting interior combination, so normally the UAE can only play as a backup power forward.

Watching Dayao and Ah Lian drank hi.

Pei Yun said: “Maybe, our brother three can start first!” ”

Pei Yun’s words aroused the interest of Dayao and the Arab League.

“Oh, how to strike first? Pei Yun, you should talk about it, if I play with the UAE, then what will Novitsky do? Dayao had some doubts.

Of course, they all want to be able to start together.

When he was in the Dragon Country national team, it was Pei Yun, Arab League and Dayao who supported the backbone of the entire Dragon Country national team’s starting lineup.

The three of them even played a triangle attack, completely undefeated in the confrontation with the Dream Eight team.

“I think the UAE can play the position of small forward!” Pei Yun said.

Just like that, the UAE and Dayao are both bright.

Admittedly, in this trade, the Mavericks paid their starting small forward Josh Howard.

In this way, in this position, the only traditional number three that can be used is the veteran Starkhouse.

Even before Howard left, the Mavericks used Pei Yun as a guest small forward at some point.

This season, with the UAE’s improved shooting ability from beyond the three-point line, and the increasing daring to break through to the basket, coupled with his very good ability to move.

He is more than capable of playing the number three position.

Looking at Dayao and the UAE League, who were a little stunned, Pei Yun smiled slightly and continued: “I usually have a lot of communication with Coach Carlisle, and he recognizes my opinion very much, I think our team can be combined in many ways, and we will dominate the next game!” ”

After that, the three looked at each other and laughed, and drank the cup in their hands.

Little Luca looked at them boldly on the side, and his heart itched: “I want to drink too, I want to drink!” ”

Sabina stopped sternly: “You are still young, you can’t drink!” When you grow up, you can drink it! ”

————————

Early the next morning, Cuban brought his “honor guard” to Pei Yun’s residence.

Dayao “stayed overnight” last night, and when he got up in the morning, his alcohol was still a little gone, and he was a little dizzy.

Pei Yun and Ah Lian had already woken up early to practice in the gym for one night, and at this time they were refreshed, which made Dayao sigh: “It’s good to be young!” ”

Cuban hugged Dayao excitedly: “Yao, welcome to Dallas, welcome to the Mavericks, since the moment I got the news that you were coming, I was so excited that I couldn’t sleep!” ”

It’s not the first time they met, Dayao and Kuban are not old friends, but they are also old acquaintances, hugs are hugs, but this height difference looks a little strange.

A super Lincoln with height and length, and then Pei Yun Allian Dayao three people, went to the American Airlines Center.

There, the Mavericks players and staff lined up to welcome the league’s top center.

Coach Carlisle shook hands with Dayao: “Hello, Yao, you are my ideal center, I can’t believe that I can coach you!” ”

Dayao also said modestly: “Coach Carlisle, I have also heard of your reputation, and I am deeply honored to be able to get your guidance here!” ”

Although there was no game after that, today was also the first day of the All-Star holiday, but the Mavericks still “worked overtime” for a day of training because of the arrival of Dayao.

Everyone is familiar with each other.

However, the most important factor is to increase the familiarity between Dayao, Pei Yun and Novitsky.

Because judging by the current All-Star voting.

Dayao, Pei Yun and Novitsky are all ironclad in the Western Conference All-Star team.

Pei Yun is already the ironclad starting point guard in the West.

And Dayao and Nowitzki’s votes are also between Auden and Duncan.

In the end, it is likely that all three will appear in the Western Conference All-Star starting lineup at the same time, and this training to enhance “friendship” is necessary for both Carlisle and Cuban to see.
