Chapter 430 Good night, Dallas!
Dwyane Wade thought of this and turned around and walked out of the locker room. He searched all the way in the player tunnel and finally found Yang Mo at the corner. Yang Mo was sitting in a chair beside him, lost in thought.
"Yang, I have something to ask you." Wade said to Yang Mo.
Hearing this, Yang Mo smiled faintly and waved her hand politely: "Don't ask, I won't answer even if you ask, everything is over."
Yang Mo's answer was bland, but it was full of a feeling of keeping people at a distance. It was obvious that Yang Mo really didn't consider Wade as her own anymore.
Seeing Yang Mo like this, Wade's words were instantly stuck in his throat, and he was speechless. But he did not turn around and leave, but sat next to Yang Mo, without saying a word, also in a daze.
The two men just sat there quietly, neither of them spoke, and neither of them had anything to say. They had the opportunity to become a super perimeter player that surpassed the Michael Jordan-Scott Pippen combination, but due to a series of mistakes, there was no way back.
What is called time and fate is probably true.
The two sat for a while, and the players in the locker room came out and walked towards the court. The two also stood up and walked out. Their expressions were very natural, but they knew in their hearts that some things could never be undone.
Soon, the second half of the game began. Doc Rivers put Yang Mo in the starting lineup again. But whether it was to avoid trouble or for some other reason, he did not let the three players of the 03 generation play together, but instead equipped Yang Mo with four players: Derrick Rose, Gerald Wallace, Horford and Howard.
After the game started, I don't know if it was because of the changes in the locker room or something else, the other players began to actively cooperate with Yang Mo. The deliberate isolation in the first half turned into deliberate flattery. In this situation, it became easier for Yang Mo to score because everyone was creating opportunities for him.
In this smooth sailing and enjoying the core treatment, Yang Mo played for five minutes and scored 13 points. Then Doc Rivers replaced the three players of the 03 generation with the Celtics' Rajon Rondo and Kevin Garnett. They also played well, and it was unknown whether it was due to competition or some other reason.
In the following time, Doug Rivers continued to use the five-in-five-out substitution mechanism. In this case, the players entered the reloading, and the original internal vicious struggle turned into a healthy competition, competing with each other.
The Western team obviously did not have this kind of healthy competition. They played lukewarmly and were defeated by more than 20 points without realizing it. When they wanted to catch up in the fourth quarter, Yang Mo made another three-pointer, which directly eliminated their last thought of resistance.
In the end, this controversial All-Star Game ended in a happy way. The East team defeated the West team 154:119. LeBron James scored 39 points, 6 rebounds and 6 assists, but he still missed the MVP because Yang Mo scored 52 points, 13 rebounds and 2 assists.
In fact, from the moment the final whistle sounded, the MVP was no longer in doubt, because more than 100,000 fans in the stadium kept shouting: Super Yang! MVP!
In this case, David Stern didn't have the guts to go against the will of heaven. He didn't dare to risk the anger of more than 100,000 people and announce someone else as the MVP. The people of the West have always been fiery, and if he really did that, he would probably not see the sun tomorrow.
After David Stern announced the undisputed MVP winner, the ESPN host quickly stepped forward to interview the new MVP.
"Yang, how does it feel to win the All-Star MVP? This is your first time to win the All-Star MVP." The host began by asking Yang Mo how she felt about winning the award.
"To be honest, I didn't come here for the MVP trophy. Before the game started , I just wanted to get 20 points. Yes, 20 points are enough." Yang Mo shrugged and said to the camera very calmly: "But from the moment I set foot on this court, I knew that I couldn't be so selfish. Because the fans of Dallas love me so much. They gave me unparalleled love. Of course, I also want to give them unparalleled enjoyment."
Yang Mo's answer immediately made the whole audience boil. After a while of chaos, the cheers turned into a unified shout: Super Yang! Super Yang! MVP! MVP!
Obviously, Yang Mo conquered all the Dallas fans. This made Nowitzki next to him a little envious. He even whispered in jealousy: I have played here for more than ten years, and they have never treated me like this.
Yang Mo had very sharp ears, and he could clearly hear the envy coming from behind him. So, in between the cheers of the fans, he took the microphone and asked loudly, "Now, can you tell me, are you happy tonight?"
Yang Mo shouted this sentence in Chinese. This was the first time he asked fans whether they were happy or not after leaving Miami.
The word "cool" is not unfamiliar to Dallas residents, because last year the word became popular throughout the United States, and Dallas is of course a U.S. territory. So, very quickly, more than 100,000 fans responded to Yang Mo with a unified shout: Cool!
More than 100,000 people shouted "Great!" at the same time. The sound waves came one after another, like a tsunami, shocking beyond words.
Yang Mo could get more than 100,000 people excited with just a few words, which made the all-stars nearby envious. Of course, there were also those who were jealous and hated her.
After the surging voices died down, the host immediately continued the interview: "Yang, you actually made this place your home court. You are really amazing. Tonight, you also broke the All-Star Game scoring record. In addition to the love of the fans, what other motivation supported you to break this record?"
"LeBron James." Yang Mo said James' name calmly, and then, amidst the astonishment, he looked at James with a smile, and said slowly: "I think I can't score lower than him. He has almost 40 points, so of course I have to score more than 50 points."
Yang Mo’s words can be regarded as a joke or as a challenge.
However, to James, it sounded like a provocation. He thought Yang Mo was provoking him and trampling on him. However, there was nothing he could do. The microphone was in Yang Mo's hands, and he was the MVP of the night. He had no way to fight back, and he had to keep smiling to show his gentlemanly demeanor.
"So, what you mean is that you have already regarded LeBron James as your imaginary enemy, right?" the host quickly asked.
"Of course." Yang Mo nodded seriously, then said with a smile: "Should I still set my imaginary enemy to be Kevin Durant? He has been left behind by me on the scoring list. Of course, my target is the guy ranked first."
Yang Mo's words triggered laughter from the fans.
Kevin Durant's face was extremely ugly. How could you step on someone like this? It's fine if you're competing with James, but why did you drag me out and step on me? Did I provoke you?
Kevin Durant's face was so ugly, but fortunately the camera didn't capture his expression, so that no one could see his lack of grace. Compared to James, Durant's manners in public are still a little worse.
"So, can I understand that you want to be this year's leading scorer?" The host continued to bring up the topic, trying to lead Yang Mo into a trap.
"I'm not interested in this year's scoring title." Yang Mo shrugged and said calmly, "In the second half of the season, I will focus on assists and I will put scoring aside. So, LeBron, you can rest assured. Unless you mess up, I won't get rid of you. But, Kevin, don't be too happy too soon. Although I won't be the scoring title, I will still suppress you. You have no chance to turn things around."
Yang Mo's words caused another round of laughter at the scene. James's smile was uglier than crying, and Kevin Durant's face was so pale and stiff that it looked like he had just been injected with hyaluronic acid.
"Okay, let's end the interview here. I have to go take a shower. Good night, Dallas!" Yang Mo waved to the camera and walked towards the locker room, looking very cool.
