At the end of October, the weather in Dallas wasn't too bad. The Texas sun always lasts a long time, at least in October, when the skies don't get gloomy. With temperatures ranging from 14 to 26 degrees, the city is not much different from summer even in October.

Wen Xue walked on the shores of Dallas's famous White Rock Lake, and in the distance, she could even see the villas built here by oil magnates and Texas tycoons. The mother stopped at the lake, closed her eyes and took a deep breath of the fresh air from the lake. On the surface of the lake, the breeze was blowing, Wen Xue's hair was scattered on her shoulders, and this woman completely relaxed herself at the moment and embraced the whole world.

How long did that fear last? Wen Xue couldn't remember anymore. For the past ten years, she has worried about her son almost every day. Will he learn from the kid next door? Will you get into trouble at school again? What will the future of this child be?

And now, this single mother finally doesn't have to worry about these things anymore. Her son went to college and got on the right path, becoming one of the stars of the city of Dallas. Those mansions built on the shore of the lake will not make Wen Xue feel envious at all at this moment. Because she and her son also bought a small villa in Dallas.

Basketball made her husband leave the court, let their family leave China, and let the pillar of death on the streets. And basketball, but let Yiyang thrive, let Yiyang have a home at a restless age, and made Yiyang a professional player. Wen Xue looked at herself on the lake and couldn't help but smile slightly. Basketball, sometimes it's just that amazing.

"Are you...... Mrs. Yi, right? Just as Wen Xue was thinking about the incredible things in front of the huge Baiyan Lake, a young man with golden hair who looked like he was jogging in the morning walked up to Wen Xue.

"Sir, are you ......"

"Oh God! It seems that you really are Yi's mother! I saw you on TV, but I didn't expect to meet a real person here! So, you and Yi also live on the shore of Baiyan Lake? "It turned out that the young man was a fan of the Dallas Mavericks.

"Oh, no, I'm just here for a walk." Wen Xue's mother smiled gently, and the young man in front of her was even a little fascinated.

"Ma'am, could you please ...... Could you please take a picture with me? You know, although there are many rich people on the shores of Baiyan Lake, they rarely meet celebrities! The young man said, picking up his phone. If he puts a photo with Yiyang's mother on his Instagram page or Facebook, he will definitely make many fans and friends envious!

"Oh my God, I'm not a star, sir." The woman from China was somewhat flattered.

"A mother who produces a player like this is of course a great star! All Dallas fans are eager to join others in bringing a championship trophy here! ”

After that, the two took a quick group photo. The young fan seemed very excited, and said that next time he would definitely buy a ticket and sit in the front row to cheer for Yiyang. After saying goodbye to Wen Xue, the young man left happily. On the shore of Baiyan Lake, only this mother is left.

At this time, the mobile phone in Wen Xue's bag vibrate. The mother, who was still smiling on her face, took out her mobile phone and saw that it was Yiyang.

"Mom, where are you, we have to go to the airport." It was only when he was talking to Wen Xue that Yiyang's tone would be a little warmer.

"I've come out for a walk, is it really okay to bother Mr. Cuban so much? ......”

After two home games, the Mavericks will play their first road of the season in Los Angeles on the last day of October, the 31st of the day after tomorrow. Of course, the Mavericks are not against the defending champion Lakers, but against the new No. 1 pick, Blake. Griffin's Clippers.

Originally, Yiyang's away game had nothing to do with Wen Xue, but Cuban warmly invited Wen Xue to Los Angeles to watch the game together. In fact, not only Wen Xue, but also many players' families are within the scope of the invitation.

As one of the league's most humane bosses, Cuban has never skimped in this regard. In fact, the money for the players' families to go to the game is not worth it to Cuban at all.

Wen Xue, who is always embarrassed to refuse others, naturally agreed, so now, when Yiyang is ready to fly to Los Angeles with the team, Wen Xue will also set off together.

"No problem, Dirk said Cuban does it a lot. Didn't you say you'd always want to go to Los Angeles when you were in Long Beach? Now, we're going to Los Angeles. ”

After listening to Yiyang, Wen Xue felt very relieved. Yes, what was once a dream has now become a reality step by step. What you once didn't dare to think of, maybe it will come true? Like what...... Can his own son lift the O'Brien Cup?

Two hours later, a plane carrying all the Mavericks and some of the players' families left Dallas soil. Get ready to welcome your travelers, City of Angels.

※※※

City of Angels, Los Angeles, California. This is a strange and familiar city for Yiyang. Long Beach, where Yiyang has lived for more than ten years, is one of the satellite cities affiliated with Los Angeles.

But Long Beach and Los Angeles seem to be two completely different cities. Hollywood, Disneyland, Universal Studios, Beverly Hills, ...... These things undoubtedly do not reveal the luxury of the city of Los Angeles.

Even for NBA players, Los Angeles is a huge stage. is also the champion, and he only officially started playing in the NBA this year. But compare the level of attention that Griffin and Wall have received, and you know what Los Angeles means to a player.

With high exposure, high attention, and high income, Los Angeles is more than just a basketball court for everyone. It's a huge show, a huge market, a huge economic complex!

For Yiyang, the battle with the Los Angeles Clippers is just an ordinary game. But Bill. For Duffy, Los Angeles is not so simple.

"Advertising?" Yiyang looked at the manager who flew thousands of miles in front of him, and was a little surprised.

"That's right, Adidas will shoot you a TV commercial in Los Angeles. Don't worry, it won't take you long. I promise, it'll be done in three hours! Duffy knows Yiyang's character, this kid played basketball for money, but he only seems to be willing to concentrate on making money playing basketball. This kind of character is a good thing, at least Yiyang will not fall after entering the world of flowers like many geniuses. But in business terms, this is not a good thing. Why did Duffy come in person? If it was Jennings, he only needed to make a phone call, and the other party would obediently shoot the commercial. But Yiyang, if you want to take up his training time, then you have to go out yourself!

Yiyang knows very well that if he doesn't become stronger, he will never be able to survive in this world. And the only way to become strong is to work hard! But Duffy came in person, and Yiyang couldn't just let his family run in vain. After all, Duffy has always treated himself and his mother well.

"Why did you shoot in Los Angeles? Can't you go back to Dallas? The cold kid asked.

"Why? This is Los Angeles, man! Well, maybe you don't know what Los Angeles means......"

"It means drugs, crime and discrimination." Yiyang remembered his experience in Long Beach.

"Uh...... Let me tell you this. Adidas has found a very rare person to shoot a commercial with you, because that person also happens to be in Los Angeles right now, shooting posters and personal photos for the Lakers. That's why they chose to call you to shoot now. If you miss this time, I'm afraid there will be no chance to cooperate. ”

"Photo?" Yiyang was a little confused.

"That's right...... Photo...... Actually, this person is a girl......"

"Some big star?" Yiyang held his forehead.

"Not really! I'm telling you, she's a professional basketball player in the truest sense of the word! Trust me, you'll have a lot in common! "Bill. Duffy's eyes suddenly lit up, as long as he mentioned basketball, he would have grabbed Yiyang's handle!

※※※

"Your performance in the last game was fantastic! I almost cut off two pairs......" On the way to the filming location, the employees of Adidas kept saying good things about Yiyang. In fact, it's not a boast, because Yiyang's performance so far is indeed good enough.

However, no matter how people talked to him, he just said a few casual words. Yiyang's personality is like this, and he is as cold as ice to strangers.

However, Yiyang also noticed that those employees would always laugh evilly from time to time. Because they are really looking forward to what kind of chemistry will occur when such a man who is as cold as winter snow meets a woman who is as hot as a volcano.

Stopping the car, Yiyang came to a street basketball court. He looked inside, and there were several cameras, several directors and some Adidas staff.

But there is one person who has become the most conspicuous of them all. Slender legs, fair skin, a bust that looks more difficult to "grasp with one hand", and a delicate face that is incompatible with the mobilization of basketball players.

Yiyang looked at the slender woman in front of him, he turned his head and walked to Bill. Duffy's side. "Is she really a professional basketball player?" Yiyang felt cheated.

Although the girl on the court was wearing Adidas basketball shoes and basketball uniforms, Yiyang felt that she would be a star or a model for such a girl.

"Of course! A professional player like a fake! Don't underestimate her, she is a member of the Italian national team! I participated in the World Championships at the age of 18, and I have more experience in international competitions than you! Moreover, she, like you, plays the number one position! "Bill. Duffy knew that Yiyang's kid would be surprised. After all, this girl is indeed very different from the "traditional" women's basketball players.

Yiyang turned back in disbelief, and at this time, the girl wearing a basketball shirt and stepping on basketball shoes had already walked towards Yiyang. Yiyang looked at this picture, it turned out that the girl who was beautiful playing basketball did not only exist in comics.

"Valentina. Vignary. This cheerful girl stretched out her hand to Yiyang with a smile, as a professional player, this girl seems to have a "long" body, even her hair and fingers.

"Yiyang." Yiyang's tone was still cold, and he gently shook Vignarie.

"Hey, are you...... Are you blushing? Vignali laughed heartily, are all Asian boys so shy?

"It's too hot in Los Angeles!" Yiyang hurriedly found a reason for himself, of course, this could not deceive the lively Vignary.

Looking at this scene, Bill. Duffy smiled, wondering if this piece of ice would be melted by the heat from Italy?

Los Angeles, what a magical place.
