Chapter 225 Core of the Team
"Because of your sister?" Yang Mo asked back in confusion.
"Yes, their aunt." Mother Lu nodded and continued, "Lu Yuanzhan was like you now, tall, handsome, funny and rich. Qingwen followed us and slowly fell in love with him. They got together secretly when I was pregnant with Xuefei. I caught them doing it not long after Xuefei was born. After the confinement, I left home with my two daughters in anger..."
After hearing this, Yang Mo suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Lu Xueman never trusted men. It turned out to be because of her mother. After Yang Mo understood the whole story, she couldn't help but ask again: "What happened next?"
"Later?" Mother Lu smiled bitterly and said slowly, "Later they got married, and I got some and lived with my two daughters."
"Oh." Yang Mo nodded, and suddenly fell into deep thought. He was thinking whether he should continue to date Lu Xueman. With the six-pointed star, his playboy personality could not be changed. Lu Xueman had the precedent of her mother. If he cheated on her emotionally again, her entire outlook on life would probably collapse. She finally looked like a woman, and Yang Mo didn't want to ruin her.
"Auntie has told you so much, now you know what to do, right?" Mother Lu slowly stood up, patted Yang Mo's shoulder, and said quietly.
"Yeah." Yang Mo agreed and lowered his head even more. This was a very tricky problem for him.
Lu's mother wanted Yang Mo to end his relationship with Lu Xuefei, but after hearing her story, Yang Mo was thinking about whether he should continue with Lu Xueman, with whom he had finally established a relationship. Yang Mo had subconsciously regarded Lu Xueman as his woman, but... the fact now was that she was not his only woman. Yang Mo was unwilling to give up this one, nor was he willing to give up another forest. He wanted to have his cake and eat it too! This was the contradiction!
Yang Mo was at a loss as to what to do. The whole world was still revolving around him. More than 80% of the world's population was discussing his heroic performance. NBA Commissioner David Stern said at a press conference in the evening: Yang is the pride of the entire NBA. The NBA is proud to have such a hero. His heroic feat has made more people around the world know about the NBA. He is the best NBA promoter of this century. He is a miracle.
For Stern, Yang Mo is now the biggest cash cow in the NBA, and what he fears most is that Yang Mo will announce his retirement. After all, there has never been such a superhero in the history of the NBA. Yang Mo's influence now far exceeds that of the NBA itself. With his influence, even if he does not play basketball, he can still live a good life and even earn more.
Stern made a quick decision to make Yang Mo the main star, and recommended him in various packaging, and he instantly surpassed LeBron James and became the top player in the league. After receiving Lu Xueman's verbal promise, Nike also began to build momentum. Their intention was to use Yang Mo's strong influence to establish Yang Mo as the top star, thereby driving the sales of basketball shoes .
Yang Mo's problem now is that although his influence far exceeds that of any NBA star, his skills are still a long way from being the best in the NBA. He must move quickly towards this position. Fortunately, with the help of the hexagram, achieving this point is not a distant dream.
That night, the Heat lost the game, being outscored by 32 points at home. Throughout the fourth quarter, the Heat fans were chanting one name: Super Yang!
Heat fans desperately need superhero Yang Mo to save their team. For them, as long as Yang Mo is on the court, they have the confidence to win any game. However, Dwyane Wade, who has returned from injury, cannot give them this confidence.
The fans' cheers in the fourth quarter made Dwyane Wade feel bad. It felt like his wife had been with someone else for a month.
It's normal to feel unhappy in this situation. But when facing the interview with reporters, Wade still smiled and said: "It turns out that I haven't found my best form yet. Moreover, the team seems to have gotten used to the operation mode with Yang on the court. I hope Yang can come back and fight with us in the next game. He can blow up the robbers' heads and help us defeat all opponents."
Dwyane Wade's words seemed to indicate that the Heat was no longer his team alone, but had become a dual-core lineup.
Pat Riley's interview also confirmed this: "I am not surprised at all about the loss of this game, because our inside core was not present tonight. He did a great thing on the Miami coastline last night, and we are all proud of him. In fact, we are not surprised at all that he can do this. During this period of time, he has left a deep impression on everyone with his explosive strength, courage and sense of justice."
If it is natural for Yang Mo to become one of the core players of the Heat, then what is the matter with the All-Star votes exceeding 500 million? Is it a joke that she leads the second place LeBron James by nearly 500 million? In fact, the votes of all other All-Star candidates added together are not as much as a fraction of Yang Mo.
This kind of popularity is so terrifying and outrageous!
Before, there were still people who dared to raise objections to Yang Mo's selection for the All-Star Game. Now, they all shut up. They dare not offend Yang Mo now. Yang Mo's fans are now counted in the billions. If you don't want to be drowned by saliva, just keep making a fuss! Paul Pierce even changed his words and praised Yang Mo: "There is no doubt that Yang is an amazing guy. If he doesn't appear in the All-Star Game, then this All-Star Game will be extremely dim. He should appear in that position. The votes speak for themselves. I also voted for him!"
Paul Pierce is a smart guy and he will adapt to the situation.
Although many stars in the league are dissatisfied with Yang Mo, who is very popular now, and think that his skills are just so-so and not good enough to become the most popular star in the league, they dare not say it to his face, because Yang Mo has too many fans, and most of them are teenagers, some of whom have some violent tendencies, and they can't afford to offend him.
Those basketball commentators who made a living by criticizing Yang Mo also disappeared during this period of time. They did not dare to go against the wind.
Yang Mo was unaware of what was happening outside . He only knew that he had insomnia. He fell asleep in the early morning, and when he woke up at noon the next day, he asked Lu Xueman to drive him to the police station. After greeting the police, he drove his car directly to the training hall.
For Yang Mo, this incident did not bring any change except that his fans increased dramatically and his hands cramped from counting money. He would not give up basketball because of this incident.
On the way to the training hall, Yang Mo turned on her phone and found that there were hundreds of missed calls. She searched for them and quickly dialed two of them, one to Kim Tae Hee and the other to Jessica. The two women were very worried about Yang Mo after seeing the news. Yang Mo quickly informed them that she was safe and explained why she didn't answer the phone. When they heard that Yang Mo was fine, they were so excited and told her not to do such stupid things in the future. Yang Mo naturally agreed and ended with "mu-a!"
After making these two calls, he checked his phone again. Most of them were unfamiliar numbers, as well as calls from teammates like Pat Riley and Dwyane Wade. He was about to go to the training hall, so he simply stopped calling. In addition, Christine also called a few times, but Yang Mo didn't reply. He thought that Christine must still be in Miami, and having sex with her tonight would be better than a thousand words.
When Yang Mo walked into the training hall, all the teammates who were still training went crazy and ran towards him like crazy: "Super Yang! Super hero!..."
They took out piles of autograph books and insisted that Yang Mo sign for them, saying that they were the son of the third aunt and the nephew of the sixth aunt.
Yang Mo had nothing to do anyway, so she just signed them one by one. It took her more than half an hour to finish.
After finishing, Dwyane Wade also handed over two Yang Mo's basketball cards and said with a smile: "Super Yang! Please sign two for my two sons as well. They are now also hardcore gang members. You are now their most admired person. I can only be ranked second."
"Haha!" Dwayne said it a little sourly, but Yang Mo laughed and quickly signed his name.
