Chapter 79: Post-match interview
As soon as the game ended, Yang Mo strode towards the locker room. He knew that TNT's sideline reporters would definitely stop him for an interview. He didn't want to be interviewed, so he took advantage of the chaos and ran into the player tunnel.
After Yang Mo ran into the player tunnel, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had finally escaped from danger.
But just as he breathed a sigh of relief, a microphone was handed to him. Before he could figure out what was going on, a burly white man pointed a camera at him.
What's going on?
Before Yang Mo understood what was going on, a beautiful blonde took the initiative to speak: "Yang, I'm Erin Andrews, a reporter from ESPN. Can I ask you a few questions about this game?"
"ESPN?" Yang Mo frowned and asked, "Isn't this game broadcast live on TNT? Why are you, ESPN, here?"
"We just received the order and rushed here from the Yankees' home stadium. Our supervisor thinks your news is more valuable." Irene Andrews said very honestly.
Yang Mo likes honest people, and even more beautiful women. If they are both honest and beautiful, that's even better. So, he did n't refuse immediately, but said, "I can accept a brief interview, but don't ask too sharp questions. I don't want to talk to a blonde beauty in a harsh way."
Andrews was very surprised when Yang Mo suddenly said such slick and flirtatious words. In her preconceived impression, Yang Mo should be the kind of player who was particularly difficult to get along with, because his performance on the court was too strong and violent.
"Okay." Andrews smiled and asked, "First question, what is your relationship with Kristen? Now everyone is saying that you eloped with him at JAY-Z's party."
This question was undoubtedly a sharp one. After Andrews asked it, he looked at Yang Mo twice, fearing that he would get angry. But Yang Mo smiled slightly, gave her a thumbs up, and said, "You asked a very good question. I just want to clarify something. Christine and I have no relationship, not even friends. We are not going to elope at all. She just wanted to take me to ride in her car and let me see her driving skills. But... unfortunately, her driving skills are very bad. The car broke down on Highway 65, and we spent a torturous night there with the wild wolves. This is also the reason why I am late tonight."
After saying this, Yang Mo added, fearing that people might make unhealthy associations, "I didn't have any unnecessary physical contact with Kristen the entire night. There were so many wild wolves, and the Lamborghini was so small that it was difficult for me to sit in it. How could something like that happen?"
Yang Mo's words were like trying to cover up the truth. No one would believe that a man and a woman stayed outside for a day and a night without anything happening. Isn't this deceiving a three-year-old child? Besides, even if they couldn't do anything at night because of the wild wolves, they could do it during the day!
However, Erin Andrews did not continue to ask after seeing Yang Mo's detailed . This was already exclusive news for her, enough to be praised by her supervisor. Moreover, she did not want to continue to delve into it and affect the harmonious interview relationship between the two parties. After all, she was a basketball reporter, not an entertainment reporter. Therefore, she quickly changed the subject and asked, "Before you went on the court, the team was behind by 17 points, and after you came back, the game was immediately reversed. Excuse me, do you feel that you are now the most indispensable part of Miami?"
"We are a team, and no one can be missing." Yang Mo answered very officially. He didn't want to offend his teammates on this issue.
"So do you think you are the core player of the team now?" Erin Andrews continued to ask. These were the questions assigned to her by her supervisor.
"No!" Yang Mo answered decisively, "My job in the team is just to grab rebounds and defend the opposing players, that's all. Everyone knows that Miami is Dwyane's team."
Yang Mo will not get cocky just because of his two outstanding performances. To be fair, both the Nets and the Knicks do not have strong inside lines. The only reason he was able to play a decisive role was because his opponents were unfamiliar with him, plus certain accidental factors.
Yang Mo is very clear about his own strength. He is still a long way from being a first-class inside player. After all, his physical fitness is too far behind. Unless... he can get one or two virgins to supplement his strength.
But this is not an easy thing to do.
"I just saw you in the car using a volleyball smash to knock Randolph to the ground, causing him to bleed and pass out. People on the Internet are talking about this now. Some people think you are a thug. You have caused three players to be hospitalized in the past two games. Excuse me, is it really because of your barbaric style of play?" Andrews asked bravely. Originally, he wanted to use "dirty" instead of barbaric, but for safety reasons, he was conservative.
"This is all an accident." Yang Mo answered very simply without even giving any explanation.
"Accident?" Andrews frowned. She was really surprised to hear this answer. She quickly asked, "But...it can't be such a coincidence, right?"
"This has nothing to do with coincidence. As an inside player, you should be prepared to be knocked down by the opponent." Yang Mo explained very seriously: "The restricted area I guard is not the opponent's back garden. If you want to dunk easily, you have to knock me down. Otherwise, it is impossible."
"So, this is your defensive style?"
"You can understand it this way." Yang Mo said domineeringly: "For me, the restricted area is my woman. I will fight anyone who touches or messes with my woman. It's as simple as that."
As a woman, Andrews couldn't help but feel touched when she heard Yang Mo's powerful words. As a sports reporter, he had seen many athletes with strong bodies and well-developed muscles, but Yang Mo's words were the most manly and exciting she had ever heard. She could directly feel Yang Mo's powerful hormones!
"Okay, do you have any other questions?" Yang Mo asked when he saw that Andrews didn't say anything for a while.
"No more." Andrews shook his head subconsciously.
"Let's end it like this, beautiful female reporter. If there is a chance, how about I treat you to dinner?" Yang Mo did not shy away from being captured by the camera and directly teased Andrews.
Andrews couldn't help but feel a little emotional when Yang Mo flirted with him so directly. He didn't know whether to agree or not, but he was reluctant to refuse.
While she was hesitating, Yang Mo had already waved at her and walked away gracefully!
Looking at Yang Mo walking away quickly, Andrews couldn't hide his disappointment: How could this happen? I haven't answered yet?
To Yang Mo, her answer was not important, because he had never thought about having dinner with her. He asked this question simply because he wanted to tease her.
Unexpectedly, she took it seriously!
