A petite woman walks back and forth in the players' tunnel, her fingers clasped together and placed on her chest. It was obvious that this woman's eyes were a little ruddy, but her mouth was laughing happily.

"Mrs. Yi! Your son is simply one of the best basketball players I've ever met! Stevens, who walked into the players' tunnel, saw the mother who was waiting for her son, and he greeted him warmly and shook hands with Wen Xue.

"Thank you, Mr. Coach. If it weren't for you, Yiyang wouldn't have the opportunity to play. "The woman's face was full of gratitude, it was not easy for a woman to pull her son alone to grow up in a ghetto. If it weren't for Stevens, Wen Xue really didn't know what kind of path Yiyang would take.

"It's your son who has a lot of strength in his own right, and believe my wife, if there is another team that wants to have it now, they will have to line up!" The joy in Stevens' heart is no worse than Wen Xue's, and Yiyang's performance today also proves that Stevens did not look at the wrong person at the beginning.

The one who dared to talk to John. Wall's Asian defender against Biao was ostracized because of his skin color and was almost buried. Fortunately, Stevens stumbled upon footage of that game while scouting Wall, otherwise the world would have lost a talented basketball player.

"Yiyang, he ......" Wen Xue pointed to the exit of the player's tunnel with her slender fingers, wondering why her son hadn't come back yet.

"Oh, and he must be being interviewed by reporters right now. Madam, your son is already a star at Butler University! Stevens smiled proudly.

"Also! Also! Where are you from? I mean, are you from China or South Korea? ”

"How do you feel about today's performance!?"

"Haaland Gaudí is not too weak for you! What do you think if and John. Wall counterpoint, do you have a chance of winning!? ”

Faced with the microphones that were almost reaching into his mouth and the reporters who couldn't wait, Yiyang was suddenly a little overwhelmed.

Since his father's death to the present, Yiyang, whose personality has changed greatly, has basically not been noticed by others. Even though he played well in the high school league, no one liked this yellow-skinned stinky temper kid.

Yiyang has always been the one who has been isolated, and he has never known what it is like to be in the spotlight.

Therefore, in the face of this sudden amount of attention, Yiyang didn't know how to deal with it at all. Fortunately, Gordon with a childish face at this time. Hayward came up to relieve Yiyang.

Hayward put his arm around Yiyang's shoulders from behind, and the white small forward, who looked like a high school student, wasn't as lethal as he was on the basketball court at the moment.

"Yes, I'm on the court, I just have to shoot like I did in training. Because he's always found opportunities for us and I'm very happy to have a player like him in the team. With him, we can go a long way this season! The appearance of Hayward made Yiyang satisfy those reporters who were very curious without saying a word.

Although the reporters were still asking questions, under the "protection" of Hayward, Yiyang was able to return to the player tunnel quickly.

"Hey, you've got to get used to it. The media isn't all that bad, and sometimes, the media can be very useful to us. Hayward smiled and patted Yiyang's back, but Yiyang still looked paralyzed.

Suddenly, Yiyang smiled. But not because of Hayward, but because of this bad boy who is loved by the fans, sees the most important person in his life.

"Mom." Yiyang walked up and hugged Literature into his arms with his strong arms. The son has grown up, and now it is his mother who takes care of him.

"You know Yiyang, I'm so proud! Your dad, he's going to be proud of you, too! ”

"I'll play well, Mom. I've told my coach that I want to play professional basketball and be like my dad. Stevens will train me in that direction as well. Rest assured, we don't have to live those days of fear anymore. After I get my first paycheck, we'll move! Get out of Long Beach! ”

"You're going to listen to Mr. Stevens, okay? Don't trouble him. Mr. Stevens is a good man, and we must never forget him. ”

"Knowing Mom, I can't still eat him. I'll go back to the locker room first, and I'll take you to the station later. Yiyang kissed his mother's forehead, and under the approving gaze of the stadium staff, he was the last to walk into the team locker room.

When Yiyang pushed open the door of the locker room, warm applause suddenly rang out in his ears.

"Heroes are always the last to appear! Congratulations, you scored your first NCAA victory! Stevens took the initiative to take the lead and applaud Yiyang's wonderful performance. It turned out that all the members of the pit bulls team had been waiting in the locker room for a long time.

"Fifteen assists! God, you must have the ability to predict the future, right? You'll know in advance where we're going to be in the next second! "Shervin. Mark now really likes this guy Yiyang, and gives up his No. 1 jersey, which Mark now feels is a matter of course.

Mark said, Chong Yiyang stretched out a hand.

Yiyang was stunned for a moment, after his father's death and before entering Butler University, he had never been so close to anyone other than his mother. When he returned to the locker room in high school, Yiyang could only change his clothes and leave silently under the cold eyes of his teammates. But now, this group of guys actually took the initiative to applaud themselves. Yes, maybe not everyone in this world is so bad......

Yiyang grabbed Mark's hand, and the two of them pulled each other over at the same time, and their shoulders touched together. "Thank you for helping me up when I fell today, Mark."

"Hahahaha, you don't have to thank us for this kind of thing. Hey, we're a team, a team! Taking care of each other, that's what we should do! ”

"Today's air relay was really cool!" Willie. Wesley also came up and high-fived Yiyang.

"Hehe, your pass made me angry in front of Haaland Gaudi!" After that, it was the white center Matt who had been scolded by Yiyang by pointing his nose. Howard.

"Good boy, teach me that trick one day to change direction behind the emergency stop." Even Norid, who was squeezed to the bench by Yiyang, took the initiative to come up and hug the new No. 1. Then, more and more people poured up, and Yiyang was surrounded by this group of guys with different skin colors.

Yiyang was a little stiff in the face of his teammates' enthusiasm at first, but in the end, he gradually opened his heart. Yes, Yiyang knows that this time, he is really a part of this team. This smelly, hard stone seems to have been knocked open......

When Yiyang and his mother and Brad. By the time Stevens walked out of the court, there weren't many people left around the Bulldogs' home arena.

After all, Butler University isn't very close to downtown Indianapolis. Most people want to get back to rest early.

"I've already ordered a ride for you, ma'am. If you have time in the future, you can come here to watch the game whenever you want. Stevens was still polite to Yiyang's mother.

"Hey, it's him!" At this time, a little boy pointed at Yiyang and ran in front of him excitedly.

"Also, can you please sign it for me!? Sign on this Bulldogs T-shirt! The boy, who was perhaps only four or five years old, puffed up his chest, and not far away, the boy's parents were smiling softly.

"Huh?" Yiyang looked at Stevens standing beside him with a blank expression.

"Give him an autograph, too. He's the first fan to ask you for an autograph and you can't say no to him. ”

"Can't you write your name?" The little boy innocently asked.

"I ...... Of course I would! Yiyang said, picked up the marker in the little boy's hand, and wrote his Chinese name on the little boy's chest crookedly.

After Yiyang finished writing, he returned the pen to the little boy, and then continued to be at a loss.

Stevens shook his head, at this time, shouldn't Yiyang touch the little boy's head and say something nice to make everything happy? However, the appearance is cold and cold, but the heart is very warm, this is Yiyang.

"Dad, look, it's Yi's signature!" The little boy excitedly ran to his parents. "I'm going to treasure this T-shirt!"

The boy's parents touched his head lovingly. "If you like it."

After that, the happy family of three disappeared into the darkness in the distance.

"Look, it's so late, and there are fans who are willing to wait for you."

"I don't know what to do." Yiyang tilted his head at Stevens.

"Don't worry, you'll have this stuff at your fingertips soon......"

While speaking, the taxi called by Stevens arrived at the gate of the stadium, and watching Yiyang's mother and son get in the car and leave, the young marshal couldn't help but look up at the starry night sky.

Maybe soon, Yiyang will become one of these stars?

Boy, you have to succeed.
