Chapter 148 Post-match interview
At the end of the game, Yang Mo wanted to make a throat-cutting gesture towards Noah to celebrate his complete victory. But he found that his head was so low in his crotch that he could almost bite his thing. Noah was so depressed and embarrassed that Yang Mo gave up the idea. He didn't have the habit of kicking a drowning dog.
After the whistle, Yang Mo turned and walked towards the player tunnel. But before she had taken two steps, she was stopped by a familiar figure: Andrews, the sideline reporter of ESPN, the beautiful reporter who interviewed Yang Mo last time.
"Hey, Yang, nice to see you again." Andrews greeted warmly as soon as he came up.
"Hi, beauty. Nice to see you again. You seem more beautiful than last time!" Yang Mo teased her, not at all shy about the camera filming nearby.
"Oh, really?" Andrews couldn't help but tremble with joy when Yang Mo praised her like that. As a woman, she enjoyed the compliments very much.
"Of course, I never lie. Just like tonight I said I would beat Joakim Noah, and I did beat Joakim Noah." Seeing that Andrews did not ask about the main topic, Yang Mo took the initiative to talk about the basketball court. Joakim Noah happened to walk by the sidelines. Yang Mo hurriedly walked over and moved the camera pointed at himself to aim at the dejected Joakim Noah, and said: "Did you see it, my friends? Look at how badly he lost."
Yang Mo was fiddling with the camera like this, and speaking so bluntly, which made Andrews a little overwhelmed. Normally, when she interviewed players, she always hoped that the players would reveal some explosive news. But now that Yang Mo had created such a big explosive news, she was a little slow to react.
"Uh..." Andrews was a little slow in reacting before he finally asked, "So, you were holding your breath before the game to teach Noah a lesson?"
"Of course not, I don't take him seriously. I just taught him a lesson while winning. You saw it, we slaughtered the Chicago Bulls tonight, and the United Center was conquered by us." Yang Mo said to the camera without restraint. After that, he paused for a moment, remembered something, and quickly added: "Hey, Dwyane's kid, happy birthday to you. We slaughtered the Chicago Bulls tonight. This is a birthday present from your father and us to you!"
Originally, Yang Mo's first sentence made Andrews really unsure of how to respond, because Yang Mo's victory declaration was too arrogant. Fortunately, Yang Mo's next sentence gave her the opportunity to ask: "So, this game is also to celebrate the birthday of Dwyane Wade's son?"
"Yes, this is the birthday present that Dwyane wants to give to his son. He is a great father. Even if he was injured, he didn't want to let his son down, so he asked me to win for him. Fortunately , I did it, and I didn't let him down!" Yang Mo answered seriously. When it comes to topics related to father and son, Yang Mo is always serious.
"Wow, this is really a great fatherly love." Andrews couldn't help but say: "I didn't expect there was such a heartwarming story behind this game."
"Haha!" Yang Mo chuckled. He originally wanted to say that in addition to the heartwarming stories, there were also dark and disgusting stories, but after thinking it over, he decided not to say it. After all, they were all teammates. If they really exposed it in front of the media, it would be difficult for them to get along in the future.
Yang Mo didn't want to bring it up, but Andrews asked directly, "During the second quarter tonight, it seemed like there was a little dispute on your bench, and many people were speculating whether it was an internal conflict. So, do you want to clarify this?"
"Yes, we do need to clarify it. There was no internal conflict, we just had some differences in the team's tactical play, which is normal. We usually like to communicate in this intense way." In order to protect the overall image of the team, Yang Mo did not make the family scandal public and also saved some face for those players who had no professional ethics.
"However, we seemed to see Haslem and Marion being a little bit passive on the court. Aren't you angry because of this ?" Andrews continued to ask.
"Of course not. They were a little tired from the back-to-back games, and last night the Chicago fans kept making noise in the hotel where we were staying. They didn't get enough rest, so they seemed a little lacking in energy in this game. We made some adjustments in the second half and decided to let them rest in this game." Yang Mo said officially.
"Um..." Yang Mo's words were so perfect that Andrews couldn't get a clue. He could only ask about topics other than basketball: "Your rumored girlfriend Kristen Stewart appeared at the sidelines tonight. She was cheering for you. Excuse me, will you have a date after the game?"
"Sorry, it's a personal question, I won't respond." Yang Mo shook her hand and said clearly.
Yang Mo didn't respond, and Andrews couldn't do anything about it. In fact, compared to hearing Yang Mo admit that Christine was his girlfriend, she preferred to hear this official rejection. Because, since Yang Mo flirted with her in the last interview, she seemed to be a little jealous of Yang Mo's rumored girlfriends.
"Okay, thank you for accepting our interview."
"Thank you." Yang Mo nodded, smiled at the camera, and quickly ran back to the locker room.
At this time, ESPN's camera switched back to the studio.
"Yang is really a cunning guy. He was clearly scolding Haslem and Marion in the second quarter, but now he is defending them." Collins said with a smile, with some teasing intention.
"This is normal. NBA teams have unwritten rules that internal team matters will not be announced to the outside world. And as a leader, Yang's way of handling it is correct." Chris Webber defended Yang Mo.
"Yes, I also think Yang did the right thing." Reggie Miller shrugged and said, "Maybe there was a problem with the radio when we were broadcasting. Maybe Haslem and Marion were just too tired from playing back-to-back games and didn't get enough rest. I don't want to make random guesses. Miami people love to sue people for defamation the most."
After Reggie Miller said this, Hollins didn't know what to say. It would be terrible if he really got sued. For such matters, official news should be relied upon.
While the three of them were chatting, a fight broke out in the Heat's locker room, and benches, folding chairs, and trash cans were all smashed.
