After dinner at Kobe's villa, Yiyang and Vignari were too embarrassed to disturb the life of the family of four, so they left early, and the next morning, Yiyang and Vignari had to catch a flight to Dallas. Today is Yiyang's last free time before the start of the Western Conference Finals.

Inside the taxi, elegant jazz music is playing on the radio. Next to Yiyang, Vignari was like a little girl, attracted by the brightly lit buildings outside the window.

Yiyang looked at the girl beside him and remembered what Kobe Bryant said to him during the day. "Passion, for Italian girls, you have to be passionate!"

Yiyang moved his hand slowly, if he was so inked on the basketball court, Fischer and Kobe Bryant would not have been robbed by him three times or twice.

Vignari sensed something, she withdrew her gaze, and saw that Yiyang's hand actually took the initiative to hold her. But the Chinese boy's eyes were staring nervously ahead, and he didn't dare to glance at Vignary's face.

Vignari smiled and simply snuggled directly into Yiyang's arms. The two of them didn't say anything all the way, letting the jazz spread in the carriage, as if the whole car was full of ambiguity.

This feeling of tranquility is actually not bad.

got out of the car, Yiyang's hand still didn't let go. Kobe Bryant said to be passionate, but in front of the girl, Yiyang seems to be the only way to do it.

"Do you want to go up and sit down?" When they arrived at the door of Vignarie's hotel, the girl spoke first.

"Uh......" Yiyang Zai Mu Ne, who is also a normal man, knows what Vignarie means by this sentence. The last time she attended Adidas' business dinner in Dallas, when she was in the same room with a slightly drunk Vignarie, Yiyang actually really expected those things. After all, what is in front of him is a beauty who is first-class from figure to face. And this woman has been encouraging you to throw yourself into your arms. If it hadn't been for seeing Vignari fall asleep that day, God knows what Yiyang would have done.

"Passion, passion!"

These two words kept swirling in Yiyang's ears, and he almost nodded!

"No, rest early tonight. We'll have to get back to Dallas early tomorrow morning. As soon as the energetic Yi Yang in his twenties said this, he regretted it in his heart. Cowardly, you deserve no meat to eat!

"Okay then, you go back and rest early, see you tomorrow." Vignali mischievously kissed Yiyang on the cheek and walked through the hotel door, waving goodbye to him.

A gust of wind blew through the brightly lit streets of Los Angeles, rolling up a few scraps of paper on the ground that had been discarded haphazardly. Yiyang stood alone in the wind and shook his head. Passion, if you put half of the passion on the basketball court in your life, maybe you won't be this character.

Taking a deep breath, Yiyang also calmed down his heart that had just been "thumping". Since everyone is gone, then, let's go back to sleep with peace of mind. Extra strength? The extra strength, put it in the Western Conference Finals, release it slowly!

This night, Yiyang slept well. Although the Mavericks swept the Lakers with a total score of 4-0 to advance, in fact, the process of each game was not easy for Yiyang and the Mavericks. Every night before, Yiyang would wonder if the Lakers would pull one back the next day, and whether Kobe Bryant would suddenly break out.

But tonight, Yiyang's mind only has the beautiful azure court next to Venice Beach and the equally beautiful Italian girl in the court.

"How did you know he was coming today?" A middle-aged man in sunglasses and a beard on his chin crouched in front of the exit of the airport, and groups of passengers walked past him, but he was clearly not interested in these guys.

"My cousin works at the Los Angeles airport, and he said he saw him and the Italian woman go through the security check!" Next to the bearded man, a slightly younger guy replied. The man had a camera on his chest, and it looked like he was a journalist.

"And how do you know they're going to fly to Dallas?" The bearded man continued to ask.

"Damn, it's the Los Angeles Lakers who were eliminated, not the Dallas Mavericks! The Mavericks' journey this season is not over, and he will not return to Dallas to prepare, where else can he go! ”

"Preferably, I don't want to waste my time."

"Hey, who do you think has a better chance of making it to the Western Conference Finals this year, the Grizzlies or the Thunder?" While waiting, the two reporter partners also chatted with each other.

"Thunder, last year they were just a team that focused on participation. But this year, they have a chance of reaching the Western Conference Finals. I think this team has improved a lot, and besides, you watched yesterday's game. Westbrook guy, it's just ......" said, the bearded man shook his head, Westbrook's wonderful performance in yesterday's game is simply indescribable.

"I also think that I even think that the Thunder can defeat the Mavericks and make it to the Finals! Hey..... Hey, look! I'm not wrong! Yes, yes! Seeing a tall Asian man slowly approaching from the exit, the young reporter immediately stopped the conversation, set up his camera, and pressed towards Yiyang.

Since Yiyang and Vignari both wore sunglasses and baseball caps, many people didn't care about the man and woman next to them without getting the news. But the two reporters who have been squatting for a long time will not let them go easily.

"My car is in the underground parking lot of the airport, let's go pick it up." Yiyang spoke to Vignari as she walked up the vertical elevator. However, just as he approached the elevator, two men suddenly appeared, blocking Yiyang's way.

"Also! We're reporters for the Dallas Sports Post! Can you give us an interview!? It won't take up your attitude time! ”

Yiyang didn't expect the two reporters to suddenly come out, and he was also taken aback. He originally wanted to say that he was not Yiyang, but it was clear that he had been fully recognized. Such a quibble does not seem to make any sense.

"Uh...... Please hurry, thanks. Yiyang had no choice but to compromise, after all, he is not the kind of person who likes to give people a face. And it's better to be polite to the local media in Dallas. After all, if there are any unfavorable remarks in public opinion, it is these local Dallas media that will be the first to stand up for Yiyang. Having a good relationship with them is also very important for the impact of the players in the public.

"Haha, thank you very much! Excuse me, why didn't you go back to Dallas with the team yesterday!? The reporter looked at Yiyang, and then at Vignari beside Yiyang, and suddenly thought about it.

"I have personal matters to attend to, so I'll be back a day late. For specific trips you can get with my manager Bill. Mr. Duffy. However, Yiyang's perfunctory answer made the question lose its value in an instant.

"Uh...... What do you think of Game 3 of the series, where you cut 30 points on Kobe's head? The struggling reporter didn't ask about Yiyang's life anymore, and simply focused on the basketball court.

"Kobe Bryant is injured and it's hard to play at the level he deserves. I'm happy with my performance, but I also know it's not something I'm proud of. Now, Yiyang really talked a little more. But Yiyang's painless comments on Kobe Bryant still failed to arouse the interest of reporters.

If these two reporters who wanted to stir up trouble knew that Yiyang and Kobe Bryant were still having dinner last night, maybe they wouldn't have asked such a stupid question.

Seeing that Yiyang seemed invulnerable, the two reporters were instantly helpless. You can't stay at the airport for so long, so let's go back with these two innocuous words.

The two guys started brainstorming, what's the problem, to be able to hit the nail on the head and get them an exclusive big news?

At this moment, the bearded man's eyes rolled, and he seemed to have a way.

"First of all, we're excited to see the Dallas team reach the Western Conference Finals again after a four-year absence. But this year, the situation in the west seems somewhat delicate. Bryant and Duncan are absent for the first time since 1998, and the Grizzlies and Thunder are both Young Guardsmen. Among them, the Thunder team is younger and more impactful. Just yesterday, in the fourth meeting between the two sides, the Thunder's young point guard Westbrook scored 40 points on 45 shooting to help the Thunder defeat the Grizzlies and move the overall score to a 2-2 draw. If the Thunder end up being your opponent in the Western Conference Finals, how will you deal with Westbrook's terrifying onslaught? ”

"How much?" Sure enough, as soon as the reporter finished speaking, Yiyang reacted. This time, his tone was not cold.

"40 points, exactly 40 points!" The bearded man deliberately gestured out four fingers to emphasize.

Yiyang swallowed his saliva, he knew very well that if it weren't for his explosive state, if it weren't for Kobe's injury. In the playoffs, it is impossible for him to score a high score of 30 points. However, now there is another young point guard who scores 40 points on the head of the Grizzlies, who are good at defense! The shock that this news brought to Yiyang was incomparably huge!

"I think there's nothing we can do but give it our all!" After Yiyang finished speaking, he walked straight to the vertical elevator. And his pace is no longer as easy as it was just now.

Vignari on the side also noticed that something was wrong, and the expression on Yiyang's face seemed to be much more serious than before. The belligerent nerve in this guy's brain has been completely activated.

After passing Kobe's level, Yiyang thought he could take a breather. But unexpectedly, maybe the opponent after that will be more difficult to deal with than the Lakers, who are full of old age!

A young point guard who scores 40 points in a single game? Yiyang now just wants to plunge headlong into the training gym, and then compete with Westbrook in the official competition!

"That guy, you can't say a few more words." Watching the elevator that Yiyang was riding slide down, the young reporter waved his hand unwillingly.

"His movements speak for themselves, boy! That guy, nervous! The bearded man, who was older, seemed to be very satisfied with the results of today's interview.

The showdown between Yiyang and Westbrook is hyped up from now on. The bearded man believes that he will definitely be able to make a lot of money.
