Chapter 81: Close Encounter
"Top five balls! If there is no stunner in the next game today, Yigang's elbow pass will definitely be able to reach the top of today's top five list! 'On the pitch, the game has gone into garbage time and both managers have already brought some fringe players on the pitch.
But in Kenny. Smith was still talking about the pass that shocked him. Kenny. Smith used to be an NBA-caliber guard, but he couldn't figure out how that ball came out.
The basketball is like a part of Yiyang's body, he can easily control it, and he can't go wrong.
Not only the commentary seat of TNT TV, but also Yiyang's teammates on the Mavericks' bench were also hotly discussed.
"I just reflexively received the ball, and to be honest I didn't expect it to come to me." Nowitzki, as the "party" of the magical scene just now, naturally became the object of everyone's questioning.
"Stinky boy! I made a gesture to catch the ball, but the basketball actually flew in the opposite direction! This guy's passing, even his teammates play! Terry's laughing expression seemed to be a pleasure to be played with by this ball.
And Yiyang, as the creator of this wonderful biography, he is the most calm among everyone. Unless a teammate takes the initiative to ask, Yiyang will never say a word. The Dallas No. 1 just leaned back in his chair and enjoyed the victory he and his teammates worked so hard to win.
Dozens of seconds later, the game was over completely. The Los Angeles Clippers, playing at home, lost by a huge margin of 83-100-17 points. Clippers No. 1 pick Blake. Griffin walked briskly down the tunnel with his head down, and his stats for the day were also displayed at the bottom of the screen, with 16 points and nine rebounds.
At first glance, Griffin didn't play badly. But in the column of shooting percentage after rebounding, the numbers are quite eye-catching. 30 percent, that's Griffin's shooting percentage in this game. In the second half, he spent almost all of his games in mistakes and irons. Although he still played the "quasi-double" data, Griffin's performance was not satisfactory.
Perhaps for the sake of deliberate comparison, the director of TNT TV immediately cut the camera to Yiyang's face again. At the same time, Yiyang's data today is also typed under the TV screen.
13 points, 10 assists and 3 steals, compared to Griffin, Yiyang's statistics are not inferior at all. Moreover, Yiyang also won the first two doubles of his career today! Playing a double-double in Game 3 in the NBA is a remarkable achievement.
"Today's performance was fantastic, with a 61% shooting rate, which is incomparable to Blake's interior lineman. And with ten assists, there wasn't even a single mistake today! Every pass he made was so accurate and deadly. That's the benchmark for a young defender, and Bledsoe should understand why he fell to 18th. After the game, almost all the commentators of the TV station were full of praise for Yiyang. Even the local media in Los Angeles had to praise two sentences.
On the court, Yiyang was stopped by a dense group of reporters. This time, it is not only the Chinese media who want to interview Yiyang, but also many American basketball reporters who are full of interest in this guy who won a double-double with great efficiency.
"Did the two pairs you get today break out once in a while, or are you going to keep them up?" A petite blonde female reporter squeezed in front of Yiyang, who wanted to avoid it, but he was surrounded by people and couldn't squeeze through it at all.
"This is just the beginning and I will try to make myself better in the league!" Escaping the "clutches" of journalists in Los Angeles is simply a fantasy. Yiyang simply gave up resistance and cooperated well.
"What do you think of Blake. What about Griffin's poor shooting percentage? Was it a couple of steals of yours that disrupted his rhythm? After a while, a provocative reporter asked Yiyang a question full of traps. He only needs to fan the flames a little to have a good chance of stirring up a conflict between the two rookies.
"The whole game was Dirk and they were defending Blake, I don't know what you're talking about." But Yiyang was not fooled, and sent the guy away without any pain. Then, he rolled his eyes at the ill-intentioned reporter.
After answering a few more reporters' questions, Yiyang finally opened a way for himself and walked into the players' tunnel. In the players' tunnel, Yiyang saw a reporter interviewing Terry. Terry saw Yiyang coming over, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
"Yi, come here!" Terry, who faced the camera, beckoned to Yiyang.
"Come here, show us our tattoos!" Seeing that Yiyang didn't respond, Terry walked up directly and pulled Yiyang to the camera.
"That's why we were able to win, we were determined!" Terry said, puffing up the muscles in his right arm, and suddenly the small O'Brien cup tattooed on the inside of his arm appeared.
Yiyang shook his head and did the same as Terry. At this time, the reporter in front of him realized that Terry and Yiyang had tattooed the same pattern in the same position.
"You're really ambitious, Jett." The reporter immediately snapped a picture and then chatted with Terry.
"You know Walker, I never doubted our strength." Terry said, raising his hand to say goodbye to reporters, and then walked towards the locker room with Yiyang shoulder to shoulder.
"How did you do that ball? Teach me someday! On the way back, Terry was still reluctant to give up on the elbow pass.
"I'm afraid I'll break your elbow, old bone." Yiyang replied in a cold tone, now he and Terry don't feel bored without choking each other a few words a day.
Just as Terry and Yiyang were about to walk through the players' tunnel to the last corner of the locker room, Terry found a tall woman leaning against the wall, as if waiting for someone. "Jet" looked at it, and this girl was none other than the Italian women's basketball national team member who had dinner with Yiyang on the gossip news in Los Angeles. Vignary.
"Hey, you didn't tell me you had a date, stinky boy. Tsk, it's terrible. Terry looked at Yiyang meaningfully, then took his hand off Yiyang's shoulder and left alone with a wicked smile.
"We're back to Dallas tomorrow, don't worry!" After walking away, Terry deliberately shouted at the top of his throat.
Yiyang first despised Terry's old rascal a thousand times in his heart, and then he looked at the girl in front of him. The baggy Lakers No. 24 jersey hung from her shoulders to Vignary's thighs, covering her pants all the way. It looked as if she was wearing only one jersey all over her body. Under a pair of long legs, instead of high heels, he stepped on a pair of Jordan 13th generation basketball shoes. When it comes to her love for basketball shoes, Vignarie's enthusiasm is no worse than that of Yiyang.
This girl's unusual outfit is always very eye-catching. She is like a beautiful female star, but she is the most special one among them.
"Hey." Yiyang raised his hand, which was regarded as a greeting. After that, he took a step and was about to leave.
"Hey, why are you being so cold to me." Vignari grabbed Yiyang's arm directly and didn't let the boy leave. "Or do you do this to everyone? I can see that on the basketball court, you really want to give Nowitzki a head start after being violated. Also, you're a good fan in the team, and everyone likes you. So, I'm guessing you're actually quite enthusiastic, aren't you? Vignari didn't let go of her hand, but smiled charmingly.
"I ...... Forehead...... Can I help you? Yiyang's cold expression and panicked tone made Vignari smile even more happily. It's as if the boy has never been alone with a girl. The cuteness of this cold boy let Vignari know that Yiyang didn't dislike him, but was overwhelmed.
"You've got to teach me, your elbow passing." Vignary's big eyes stared at Yiyang seriously, this boy who was not afraid to fight crime in Wood District, but looked away a little unnaturally in front of a woman.
"I'm going back to Dallas tomorrow."
"It won't be long before the domestic league is over and I can go to Dallas to find you." Vignari is unrelenting, she just wants this seemingly cold guy to say "yes" to herself.
"I'll talk about it when you come."
"Hey!" Seeing that Yiyang was about to "escape", Vignarie's other hand also grabbed Yiyang's arm. "How can you find me without leaving the phone number?"
"Forehead ......."
Before Yiyang could react, Vignari took out her mobile phone and handed it to Yiyang. "Your number, enter it, and I'll call you when I go to Dallas in a few months."
The distance between the two of them was quite close at the moment, beyond the safe distance between strangers. Moreover, Vignarie's hands were still holding on to Yiyang. Although, he and Vignari are not strangers either. But this distance still made this guy from Wood District nervous.
A faint fragrance spreads around Yiyang, who has never been so close to a girl of the same age!
Nervously, he picked up the other party's phone and entered his number on it. "Yes...... Is it okay? ”
"Haha, thank you. You've played well tonight, keep it up! Vignari said, winking at Yiyang. Then, full of energy, she jumped out of the players' tunnel.
Looking at Vignarie's lively back, Yiyang couldn't help but slightly curl the corners of his mouth.
This girl seems to be quite special...... Yiyang turned around and walked towards the locker room. Italian girls? It's funny.
Los Angeles is more than just a basketball court.
