Chapter 46: The Villain's Ambition (Part 3)
Yang Mo drove the car to Lu Xueman to rush home, and Lu Xueman's face was heavy and very serious along the way. It made Yang Mo a little nervous, and he didn't know if it would be a sign before the volcanic eruption, so he still closed his mouth tightly, for fear that disaster would come out of his mouth.
Yang Mo was careful not to make a sound, and after the car drove for a while, Lu Xueman finally spoke, his tone was not angry, but very serious: "Yang Mo, you are also twenty years old this year, you are not a child anymore." You see, how much trouble you've caused during this time, and now all the media think you're a thorn, do you feel good about being the enemy of the whole world? ”
"I'm enjoying it." Yang Mo replied very seriously: "I said at the draft meeting that I will use the stones thrown at me by others to build the most luxurious castle, and now there are too many stones, which means that I can build the most luxurious and atmospheric castle in the world." ”
"Do you know what your business value is now?" Lu Xue said hatefully, she was very disappointed with Yang Mo's answer.
"I don't know." Yang Mo shook his head, with an indifferent attitude.
"It's zero, or even negative. Originally... As a Chinese player, your market is very good, and you are still a lottery show. But you've now managed to screw yourself up with a series of moves. Big brands won't think about you at all, and you can't look down on small brands. ”
"Remember, a basketball player can't be messed up by anything unless they're botched on the court. Look at Iverson, he's not in all sorts of troubles, but again, he's a very commercially valuable player. Another example is the great basketball god Michael Jordan, who also has a lot of trouble off the court, but who can deny his miracles on the court? Yang Mo shrugged her shoulders and turned around to educate Lu Xueman: "I know that you are very disappointed that you can't sign a commercial sponsorship contract as an agent, but... This is just the beginning, and believe me, the future will be better. ”
"Let's not talk about the future, let's talk about the present." Lu Xueman shook his head, took out a stack of newspapers from his bag, handed it to Yang Mo, and said: "This is the most famous sports newspaper in the United States, you see, none of them are optimistic about your news." Even at home, in our own country, there are not many people who are optimistic about you, and everyone thinks that you will return home after fulfilling your first contract. ”
"Haven't you seen me play?" Yang Mo asked, and patted his head after asking: "Yes, you really haven't seen playing." ”
"To be honest, after reading these analyses, I don't think you can play very well." Lu Xueman said pessimistically.
Yang Mo saw that the people closest to him were affected, and couldn't help but ask herself in her heart: Am I really so bad?
The answer is no, Yang Mo doesn't feel bad. Through more than a month of professional training, he feels that he can fully establish himself in the NBA, and several of his coaches are also very confident in him, shooting coach Rick even told him that he can compete for the best rookie, although Yang Mo also knows that this is a joke, but it also proves his strength.
"Then let's wait and see, anyway, the regular season will start in less than half a month." Yang Mo smiled slightly and said confidently.
"Hopefully you'll be able to put up some great numbers." Lu Xueman is still pessimistic.
For Lu Xueman's pessimism, Yang Mo can only smile helplessly, in addition to silently cheering himself in his heart, he can only look forward to the arrival of the game, and then he can really raise his eyebrows.
Yang Mo waited for the arrival of the regular season, but he didn't think that someone was waiting for him in the preseason, this person was Brook Lopez of the Nets, that is, the Lopez who was kicked by Yang Mo in the Orlando sports training camp.
To some extent, the focus of the Nets and Heat games is the Chinese derby, where Yi Jianlian vs. Yang Mo. However, Brook Lopez didn't know what medicine he had taken wrong, so he jumped out and snatched the lead role: "Yes, I'm going to kick Chinese Yang's ass hard in the game, I don't think he deserves to be in front of me, he doesn't even qualify to be selected." I'm going to humiliate him with data! ”
Brook Lopez made a big fuss at the media, now Yang Mo is a hot person, as long as he provokes him personally, he can make headlines, of course Lopez is not willing to give up this opportunity, not to mention that he still has a vendetta with Yang Mo.
In the afternoon of the same day, the Heat officially announced that Yang Mo would not participate in the preseason trip to Europe, and the reason given was that he was unwell.
After getting the news, Brook Lopez became even more arrogant, and continued to make nonsense to the media unscrupulously: "Haha, that Chinese kid has shrunk his eggs, he is a useless guy, he avoided the game because he was afraid of me." He can avoid the preseason, but he definitely can't avoid the regular season, and when the time comes, I'll teach him the same and let him know what an American center is. ”
Brook Lopez's villainous face made Yang Mo itch with hatred, and he called Pat Riley as soon as he watched the video to apply for the ban to be lifted for the preseason.
However, Pat Riley rejected him: "Let him be arrogant for a few days, the higher he climbs now, the worse he falls, and I'm sure you can beat him all over the ground." ”
Pat Riley refused, and Yang Mo could only endure it.
The next day, on the way to the training hall, Yang Mo was intercepted by a bold reporter, and under his repeated questioning, Yang Mo finally broke the convention of not speaking to reporters, and took the initiative to say: "Tell that stinky boy of the Nets that seven days a week, twenty-four hours a day, whether it is Miami or New Jersey, I can settle anytime and anywhere." Also, remind him not to forget who beat him all over the ground in the Orlando sports camp. Finally, the second game of the regular season for the Heat was against the New Jersey Nets, and although it was an away game, I would still play him crying and calling his mom. ”
After saying this, he stepped on the accelerator and galloped away.
