I just play ball

Chapter 20
After Li Yue finished speaking, he turned his head and turned around, just in time to see Jaylen Rose standing up from the ESPN commentary booth, and Jaylen Rose subconsciously looked into the field when he heard his words, and the two looked at each other, as if they were enemies meeting each other. jealous.

Seeing this, the fans at the scene immediately booed Jaylen Rose, and many fans shouted and apologized.

Jaylen Rose curled his lips and shook his head in disdain, deliberately patted his butt, put away the materials and left.

Li Yue turned his head, and his eyes signaled to continue asking questions, but the reporter was still in a state of shock, and he opened his mouth after being dazed for a while.

"Before more than a year, you have not been able to play due to injuries, but now you are perfectly adapted to the rhythm of the game, like a veteran who has been fighting for many years. How did you do all this?"

"Keep training, watch the team's and opponent's game videos repeatedly, and try your best not to be afraid of failure."

"When encountering difficulties, how do you overcome them?" After the reporter asked, he pointed to the auditorium.

Li Yue lowered his head and chuckled, knowing that this was the reporter reminding him to thank the fans and the team. After all, it was the tradition of post-match interviews. It wouldn’t take too much effort to say it a hundred times, and it would win more support and commercial chips, but he Don't want to do that.

Because most of the fans were indifferent to him before, and even some extreme fans mocked him in various ways, and even domestic fans treated him with an indifferent attitude, and there are very few fans worthy of his gratitude.The team has been cultivated, but they have tried to lay off him several times before, and they have a purely Taobao attitude towards him, so there is really no need to give special thanks.

"I told myself that I must persevere and not let down Kobe, Artest, Gasol and other teammates. Their trust has allowed me to stand up again and again from failure. This is the case now, and it will remain the same in the future."

"Thank you for accepting the interview." The reporter raised his left hand and made an OK gesture.

Li Yue hummed, took the towel from the staff and put it on his shoulders, and was accompanied by security guards and turned to leave.

Walking to the sidelines, someone suddenly blocked the way, and after a closer look, it turned out to be Cara Delevingne.

"What are you going to do again?" Li Yue showed helplessness.

"Going out to play later? There is a party in Beverly, where are some of my friends, do you know KK and Jenna? They all want to know NBA players like you, especially Jenna..."

After Kara finished speaking, Li Yue quickly waved his hands, "I'm not interested, I want to go home and play games."

"What game? Add me, I can play Call of Duty."

"Sorry, I want to play LOL."

"Really? My ice shooter is very powerful."

"Wait a minute, why are you catching me?" Li Yue put his hands on his hips.

"I think you're very interesting. Unlike other athletes who always talk nonsense, the way you slapped people just now is like slapping me at the steakhouse that day. It's very real. I like this kind of personality." Kara said with a smile .

"Really? Not for other reasons?" Li Yue tilted his head and looked sideways, almost saying, 'You just want to catch the heat'.

"Okay, I admit that I'm curious about you and want to know more. This is my number, remember to call me." Cara took out a note and handed it to Li Yue.

"This... what are you curious about? I'll tell you now." Li Yue scratched his head, but didn't reach out to pick it up.

"I can't say a word or two. Do you want me to continue to be so embarrassed? Many people are watching us." Cara's cheeks were flushed.

"Okay." Li Yue took the note.

Carla immediately turned around and walked away, galloping up to the auditorium, looking from a distance, smiling all over her face.

Li Yue was quite confused. Kara was still spraying him two days ago, but today she actually has a little bit of admiration.

This turning point is too exaggerated and abrupt, even "Game of Thrones" dare not develop like this!

...

Back in the locker room, Li Yue took a shower and changed quickly, sat on a chair and played with his mobile phone, waiting for Black's arrangement.

99+ unread QQ messages, except for two from my father, all others are from classmates, from primary school to university, time from frequent chats to first conversation in more than a year, content from wedding invitations to children studying abroad, very interesting He has a huge head, but he also picks out some that can be solved immediately to reply.

But there are too many, so we can only ignore it for the time being.

After quitting QQ, Li Yue logged on to Twitter, first fulfilled his promise, found Durant's account and clicked to follow, and then searched his name as usual, wanting to see how netizens brag about his performance in this game.

Seeing that his triple-double became a hot topic as expected, and he was still ranked No.2, with more than [-] discussions, only lost to ABM's speech on national conditions, he couldn't help laughing out loud.

Surprisingly, LeBron James also participated in the discussion, and the tweeting time was still in the game.

"Today's rest day, I watched the Lakers play against the Thunder. Li Yue performed very well. He is the young player with the most similar style to me in the entire league. I look forward to the upcoming match between us! #少年的王者##李越三双# "

He was praised by the league's No. [-] small forward, and he had to reply both emotionally and 'ceremonially'. He clicked on the screen.

"Thanks! See you in Miami!"

After replying, continue browsing.

Bill Simmons: "20+ triple-doubles! He did it, and Li Crazy officially started!"

Stephen A. Smith: "If he continues to maintain this performance, how much is the Lakers willing to pay in the summer? One-year maximum salary offer, or match other teams' high offer contracts? The Lakers don't have any extra salary space now. They Still trying to renew Howard's contract, will there be another poisonous contract?"

Mark Stein: "According to one of my agent friends, after the game, CAA and other well-known economic companies have set up special teams to try to win Li Yue in the summer. Many brokerage companies believe that there is a market potential behind him. huge."

Seeing Mark's tweet, Li Yue immediately thought of his manager Taylor Johnson.

The other party is just a new employee of the OCT agency who has just passed the internship period. Since signing the contract, except for every time he was notified that he was transferred to the Defenders or recalled by the Lakers, the two have no other contact. They have not seen each other for more than half a year. .

At the end of this season, his economic contract with OCT will expire. At that time, he will either renew his contract or change to another company. If he can continue to maintain this performance, several economic companies will definitely take the lead.

How to deal with this matter, he has not considered at all, after all, he almost packed up and returned to China before.

We can only talk about it when the time comes, Li Yue made up his mind and continued to browse Twitter.

Apart from NBA players and famous commentators, netizens praised him in various ways.

Especially the Lakers fans, swarmed to leave messages under the Lakers official tweet, asking for him to start.

...

In a blink of an eye, everyone in the team had bathed and changed.

Blake waved, and reporters began entering the locker room for interviews.

Li Yue answered a few questions briefly, and then attended the press conference with Black.

After finishing everything, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening, and Li Yue hurried to the parking lot.

Just about to start the car, the cell phone rang suddenly, and my cousin called.

As soon as the phone was connected, a voice came out: "Brother, someone is bullying me, you have to help me out!"

"What's going on, little brother?" Li Yue chuckled, guessing that the mischievous cousin probably caused trouble again.

"I told my classmates that I am your younger brother, but they didn't believe me!"

"The reason is that I am too skilled. If you say that I play like that one, you say it is infuriating!"

"They also said that you are also a drinking fountain player, and you can beat you single-handedly!"

Li Yue frowned after hearing three consecutive sentences with a crying voice, realizing that the matter might be a little serious.

"Don't worry, I'll go back to Irvine tomorrow."
