Chapter 154: Dialogue with Giants
Seeing Yao Ming's face turned bitter with embarrassment, Yang Mo laughed and said, "I'm just kidding, don't be nervous. Besides, with your annual income of hundreds of millions, are you still worried about these bottles of red wine?"
"Brother, that's 1982 Lafite, not plain water." Yao Ming patted Yang Mo on the shoulder, sat down, and asked, "How are you doing? Are you doing well in Miami? You've been very impressive recently. I heard that you have settled the internal strife and become the boss."
"Hey, that's nothing!" Yang Mo waved his hand proudly, "I understand now. You can't be too polite in the NBA. Beat those who deserve to be beaten, beat those who deserve to be beaten. Don't think that these black people don't have bad intentions. They are also bad. A few days ago in Chicago, they rebelled on the court, brother, and tried to trip me up and kill me. Guess what I did?"
Yang Mo was talking excitedly, and Yao Ming was listening with great interest. He subconsciously asked, "What's going on?"
"Just push down the bench and go play . Push down those grandsons, and I will call a few die-hards to go shirtless and fight the Bulls. In the end, you saw that we gritted our teeth and won the victory. The old guys in the team dare not be dissatisfied now!" Yang Mo said, and patted his chest excitedly: "We have to show the power of the Chinese when we go out there, otherwise those guys will think you are a soft persimmon to be bullied!"
Although Yao Ming was not there in person, he couldn't help but get excited when he heard Yang Mo's excitement. Although he has been smoothly built into the core of the inside line over the years, and was also promoted and cared for by Big Brother F when he first entered the NBA, he has also experienced similar exclusion. However, he always upholds the attitude of peace and uses the wisdom of the Orientals to solve problems. But in the end, there is still a sense of frustration in his heart. Now hearing Yang Mo use such a domineering method to solve the problem, he couldn't help but get excited. He patted Yang Mo's shoulder vigorously and said, "No wonder others say that the people born in the 80s and 90s in our country are becoming more and more powerful. Seeing you today, it is indeed the case!"
Hearing what he said, Yang Mo rolled her eyes at him and said, "You act as if you weren't born in the 1980s. Why are you pretending to be old?"
"I was born in 1980, and those born in 1980 can only be considered as those born in 1970." Yao Ming laughed and sighed. At this time, he looked at Jessica who had been listening to the conversation with her chin propped up beside him, and said with a smile: "How about we speak English? Your girlfriend is Korean, so she can't understand, right?"
"No, I can understand Chinese." When Jessica heard Yao Ming say this, she quickly spoke in slightly awkward Chinese.
Yao Ming was a little surprised when he heard Jessica speak Chinese. Yang Mo was also surprised and asked, "You can actually speak Chinese?"
"I learned it specially from a Chinese teacher." Jessica said a little embarrassedly.
Before Yang Mo knew what she was embarrassed about, Yao Ming had already drawn out an "oh", then glanced at Yang Mo in an ambiguous way and said, "You are a good boy. The girl has learned Chinese for you. When will you learn a few words of Korean?"
After Yao Ming said this, Yang Mo finally understood why Jessica's Chinese improved so quickly. He subconsciously felt it was very sweet, so he reached out and grabbed Jessica's hand and patted it, as if he cherished it very much.
When Jessica received this action, she immediately showed a happy smile.
The couple was so affectionate that Yao Ming, who was standing next to them, couldn't stand it anymore: "Stop showing off your affection. It makes me jealous."
"Come on, you are still jealous. When I was a little fan, I heard that Lawrence, the center of the Australian women's basketball team, was deeply in love with you, but it's just that the flower is willing but the water is not. You, a country bumpkin, don't understand the charm of foreign girls." Yang Mo teased in a bad mood.
When Lawrence was mentioned, Yao Ming felt a little embarrassed. He waved his hands and quickly clarified: "No, these are all rumors spread by the media."
After clarifying, he quickly changed the subject: "By the way , I heard you say the day before yesterday that you wanted to take victory away from me. Is that true?!"
"Of course not. I always keep my word. I am sure to win this victory." Yang Mo replied very seriously.
"I won't let you take the victory, otherwise where will I put my old face?" Yao Ming said seriously.
"Retire, haha!" Yang Mo said with a smile, "You've made a lot of money anyway."
Yang Mo's words were just a joke, but Yao Ming was filled with emotion after hearing them. He sighed and said slowly, "Maybe I really can't play for much longer. I've been fighting year after year, playing for the national team after the NBA, and I don't have any rest. Other NBA players go fishing and travel to relax during the summer offseason, but I have endless invitational tournaments to play. I've had several surgeries on my foot, and the doctor is still worried about a stress fracture. Oh!"
Yao Ming spoke very sadly, and Yang Mo also felt uncomfortable. When he was a fan, he felt that the Chinese Basketball Association was a bit unfair. They asked Yao Ming to play in some unimportant invitational tournaments, and he had to participate in all the Asian Championships, World Championships, Asian Games and the like. He really didn't have many days of rest throughout the year.
Yang Mo didn't know what to say to relieve Yao Ming's worries, so she could only keep her head down and said nothing. After a while, Yao Ming shook his head helplessly and said, " I can't help it. As the flag of Chinese basketball, I have to fight for my country. This is my mission, and there is nothing to complain about."
"Hehe." Yang Mo chuckled, but in her heart she was saying to those officials who were desperately trying to screw over basketball stars for political achievements: Go to hell!
"By the way, a few days ago, an official from the Basketball Association asked me to tell you whether you can return to China to participate in the East Asian Four Nations Tournament." Yao Ming spoke to Yang Mo again.
Yang Mo frowned after hearing this and said, "What? East Asian Four Nations Tournament? What the hell is that?"
Yao Ming laughed when he heard this and continued, "It's not a particularly important game, just a few countries playing together. Usually they send the second national team to compete, but I think they also want to test your strength so that you can contribute to the country in next year's Asian Championships."
"I'm too lazy to pay attention to him. I'm not a player from the system. The country has never trained me. I don't need to play in such inferior competitions. The Olympics or the World Championships are just the same. Whoever wants to play in this kind of competition can play it! I don't want to run back and forth like a dead dog." Yang Mo said unhappily.
After hearing this, Yao Ming did not try to persuade Yang Mo much. In fact, in his heart he also hoped that Yang Mo would not participate in such a boring competition. He did not want Yang Mo to repeat his mistakes.
After chatting for a while, Yao Ming went back to his own business, as he had a game tonight. Moreover, he didn't want to be a light bulb between Yang Mo and Jessica anymore. After all, the young couple had finally had a date here, so why would a 2.26-meter-tall guy like you stand in the middle of it?
