Chapter 172: Don't Despise the Poor Youngsters
Wang Tuo originally came to interview with the purpose of finding a hot topic, but he didn't expect that such a shocking hot topic would appear before he even started the interview. If this information was published, it would definitely cause a sensation. Yang Mo defeated Kobe Bryant and won a thousand autographs. After all, Kobe Bryant is the undisputed number one player in the NBA in the hearts of Chinese fans, but Yang Mo won.
So, he couldn't wait to ask: "Then how did you beat him? One-on-one?"
"Of course not." Yang Mo shook his head and said with a smile: "If I were to fight Kobe Bryant now, I would definitely be beaten to a pulp. I would never do such a self-humiliating thing. I just had a three-point contest with him, and I won and he lost. It's that simple."
"Oh!" Wang Tuo nodded, his excitement subsided a little. After all, everyone knew that Yang Mo was a three-point shooter, and although Kobe Bryant had outstanding offensive ability, he was not specialized in three-pointers. If he beat Kobe by three-pointers, it wouldn't be too exciting. Wang Tuo hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Can you tell me the score?"
"There was no score, because Kobe lost the game as soon as it started. Our rule at the time was that each person had to shoot thirty balls, and whoever made the most shots would win. I shot first, and all thirty went in, but Kobe missed the first shot, so...it was natural that I won." Yang Mo shrugged and said simply.
Wang Tuo nodded repeatedly after hearing this. Although this duel didn't sound exciting enough, it still contained a lot of information. At least it indirectly confirmed Yang Mo's three-point accuracy. 30 out of 30 shots, this was much more difficult than 3 out of 3 shots or 10 out of 10 shots.
"Then let's officially start the interview now." Wang Tuo laughed, and after getting Yang Mo's nod, he threw out the first sharp question: "We heard that you don't seem to be happy in Miami, and some old players are not convinced that you have become a core player."
"This is actually a rumor." Yang Mo moved his body and said seriously, "I have never answered this question before, and now I will give you an exclusive. We did have a little disturbance internally. At that time, a few old players thought that I might be too young or inexperienced enough to take on the responsibility, so they had some objections. Then I led the team alone and proved my strength. Since then, everyone has been very good, without any problems. This is a very normal thing. Every team will more or less encounter conflicts when new players take over. Our team is relatively good."
"So, it can be understood that you have convinced those old players, right?"
"You can't say that." Yang Mo immediately understood the hidden meaning in Wang Tuo's words. Although this was the truth, it couldn't be published in the newspapers. After all, the team was a whole, so he immediately corrected: "It should be said that I won their trust with my performance on the court."
"Haha." Wang Tuo smiled slightly. He knew what Yang Mo was worried about, but he didn't ask any more questions. Instead, he continued, "Michael Jordan seems to have always admired you. When did you meet him?"
"During the training camp in Orlando."
"He has always wanted to trade you to the Bobcats, and he also taught you his famous skills. Have you ever thought about playing for the God of Basketball one day?" Wang Tuo continued to ask. Each of his questions was quite sharp. After all, they are a media that relies on sales to make a living, and they must have a hot topic.
"I have always been grateful to him, he is my mentor. But as for going to the Bobcats, I haven't thought about it yet. I am a player of Miami now, and my responsibility is to carry the Heat team forward step by step." Yang Mo said very officially.
"So do you think Michael's post-up skills are helpful to you?"
"Of course. My previous means of scoring were almost exclusively three-pointers, but now I have added post-up shots to my arsenal, and I feel more comfortable on the court. And I believe that one day in the future I will be able to fully utilize this technique and become a defender's nightmare." Yang Mo said very confidently.
"Well, I believe you can do it." Wang Tuo encouraged, and then continued to ask: "Many fans are concerned about your future development direction. Your current position is an inside defender and occasionally a three-point shooter. Have you ever thought about developing in the direction of scoring in the future?"
"This is an inevitable process. Basketball is a game of putting the basketball into the basket. It won't work if you can't score. I am also working hard to improve my offensive ability, but I don't know what will happen in the future. I only know to climb up step by step." Yang Mo said seriously.
"Well, I think you will definitely become a very strong No. 3 player in the future, both in offense and defense." Wang Tuo encouraged Yang Mo, and then asked, "I saw a video of you before, and you seemed to say that your ex-girlfriend dumped you, and then you worked hard to enter the NBA?"
When Wang Tuo asked this question, Yang Mo suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and Lu Xueman, who was lying on the sofa playing with her mobile phone, also put down her phone. She was also particularly concerned about this question.
After hesitating for a few seconds , Yang Mo smiled slightly and said, "Oh, this question... Actually, I have let go of that relationship, and I don't blame her. After all, I really didn't have much at that time. I just graduated and didn't even find a job. I don't mind her leaving me and throwing herself into the arms of another man. I just think that she shouldn't have driven that man's sports car over here and arrogantly announced that I was dumped. She could have sent me a text message and I wouldn't bother her."
"So, your girlfriend is a gold digger?" Wang Tuo asked directly.
"Maybe. I think it's normal for girls to pursue vanity. Who doesn't want to be pretty and attract everyone's attention in their twenties? But the premise is not to hurt others. And it's normal for boys to have nothing in . No one can judge that they won't be glorious in the future. Isn't there an old saying that goes, don't despise the poor young man? So, I hope girls can be more tolerant and give young boys more time. If you are willing to accompany them through those difficult years, happiness will definitely be waiting for you not far away." Yang Mo smiled slightly, with a bitter expression: "Unfortunately, my girl didn't wait until my glorious day."
Just as Wang Tuo was about to continue asking questions, Yang Mo's phone rang again. It was the same number as before, from Kobe Bryant. She waved to Wang Tuo and pressed the answer button.
"Which floor are you on? I'm here." Kobe Bryant's voice came over.
"Seventeenth floor, room 1709."
"Okay, I'll be there right away." After saying this, Kobe hung up the phone.
As soon as Yang Mo put down her phone, Wang Tuo asked, "Is Kobe coming?"
"Yeah." Yang Mo nodded.
Wang Tuo was immediately filled with anticipation and quickly adjusted the SLR in his hand.
