Chapter 262: Lifelong Enemy
Compared to the outside world's discussions, the NBA officials did not express any attitude on the matter. Even when asked by reporters, David Stern only gave a simple and vague summary: "Basketball is round, and nothing that happens on the court is unexpected."
When the reporter asked further questions, he said nothing.
David Stern remained silent, but Pat Riley of the Miami Heat stood out and expressed his opinion: "The Heat Club supports Young's strike. Fans have also expressed their support for Young through their actions. More than 700 million votes sent Young to the All-Star Game not to watch him run back and forth."
Pat Riley's words were automatically interpreted as protecting his player, after all, Yang Mo is his player.
At this time, Michael Jordan also accepted a rare interview to express his attitude: "Yang did what I wanted to do but didn't do. He had the courage to tear his face off with everyone, but I didn't. He is more fierce than me."
The God of Basketball has come out to express his attitude, and the matter is basically settled. Because no one in the world will have a better say on basketball than Jordan.
Jordan's words pushed all the Eastern Conference players to the forefront. They were already being constantly insulted and criticized by Yang Mo's crazy fans, and now the God of Basketball has clearly expressed his support for Yang Mo from a transcendent position. This statement is equivalent to giving Yang Mo's fans a legitimate reason to attack, and they are in a more preemptive position.
Faced with verbal abuse, most people choose to keep quiet. They know that although silence cannot solve the problem, it can slowly cool down public opinion, or at least prevent the problem from getting worse.
However, Devin Harris just couldn't control his mouth. After being scolded, he finally couldn't help but stand up and said righteously: "Basketball is a five-person sport. Is it right to give all the shots to the Chinese kid like the night before? I didn't notice him running fast break when I had two balls. What's wrong with that? Can't I let my mind wander for a while?"
Devin Harris's remarks immediately attracted more criticism: "At least Yang led the team to end the sophomore team's six-game winning streak the night before last, and also scored the highest score in a single game in history. What about you? You lost the game last night?" "As a point guard, you couldn't see your teammates running fast breaks twice in a row. Why don't you knock out your eyeballs and stuff two testicles in?" "I'll give you five cents, go buy a bottle of horse urine and wipe your eyes!!"
Compared with Devin Harris who was criticized, LeBron James, who was also criticized by thousands of people, was able to keep his composure. He said nothing, did not respond to any questions, and acted as if it had nothing to do with him.
He looked like he was invulnerable, but he was more upset than anyone else. Ever since he was blocked by the fledgling Yang Mo, he felt that he was suppressed by Yang Mo in everything, whether it was the All-Star votes, the amount of the Nike contract, or the popularity outside the court, they were all easily surpassed by Yang Mo. And this guy even scored 101 points in the rookie game, which was something he would never be able to accomplish in his lifetime.
He was very happy to see Yang Mo suffer a series of setbacks in the All-Star Game. But he didn't expect Yang Mo to quit at this moment and say he didn't want to play. He didn't give Stern any face at all, and ignored the joyful and peaceful atmosphere of the All-Star Game. What he didn't expect was that after Yang Mo left, two-thirds of the fans also left. The next day, the Internet was flooded with praises.
This made him feel particularly uncomfortable, as if he was the villain in a Hollywood blockbuster who had finally gained the upper hand. He was about to knock out the dying protagonist with a heavy punch, but he did not expect the protagonist to suddenly explode and kill him with a Jedi counterattack.
Yang Mo! LeBron James fiercely carved two Chinese characters on the floor of his house. He carved them stroke by stroke. He gave his first written Chinese character to Yang Mo.
In the past, the league officials always regarded Carmelo Anthony as LeBron James' opponent, then it became Dwyane Wade, then Kobe Bryant, and now it is a bit like Kevin Durant. LeBron James did not deliberately make enemies with these people, at most he cooperated with the propaganda and said a few harsh words.
Now, Yang Mo was truly regarded by him as his lifelong enemy.
Although Yang Mo's strength is still quite far from his, he still stubbornly regards Yang Mo as his biggest enemy.
As for the disturbances surrounding him, Yang Mo said he had no idea. After spending a wonderful night at Liu Yifei's house, he spent another lazy afternoon. It was not until the evening that he remembered that he had to fly to Washington to meet up with his teammates and start the regular season journey in the second half of the season.
So, he had to say goodbye to Liu Yifei reluctantly. Before leaving, he kissed her deeply and asked her to help him masturbate. There was no other way. He wanted to fuck her directly, but her body was extremely exhausted from the car sex and she couldn't fight anymore. He could only let her delicate hands do it for him.
After parting with Liu Yifei, Yang Mo finally turned on his cell phone. There were three missed calls from Lu Xueman, so he dialed them.
Soon, the phone was connected. After it was connected, Lu Xueman's voice came over: "First, answer me why you turned off your phone?"
Lu Xueman always faces problems directly and gets to the point, never playing tricks or beating around the bush.
"I'm in a bad mood." Yang Mo answered very straightforwardly.
“The second question is, why the strike?”
"You'll know if you watch the game." Yang Mo replied unhappily.
"Well. OK, I have finished asking questions. Now let me tell you one thing. I have already found all the talents we need." Lu Xueman said calmly, without any fluctuation in her tone.
Yang Mo was shocked: "Ah? So soon, how long have you been in Korea? How could you recruit all the people so easily?"
"It's very simple. I spent a lot of money to hire a chairman of SM Company. He is responsible for the staffing. Under the temptation of high salary, he quickly built a mature entertainment company's operating system." After Lu Xueman finished the introduction, she asked for money directly: "You should prepare 10 million US dollars as a start-up fund."
"That's no problem. Have you reached an agreement on the contract with Samsung? If it is, just transfer it directly from them." Yang Mo laughed and said, "The wool is on the sheep. Since we have opened a company in Korea, the money must be paid by the Koreans."
"Well, we've almost reached an agreement. The price is fine, but they're a little picky about the conditions . They want you to cooperate with them in a series of promotions, but the promotion period is a bit long."
"Okay, you continue talking. We must make them compromise on publicity. Let them compromise on our announcement arrangements, instead of us being led by them." Yang Mo put forward his request very straightforwardly.
"Yes, I know."
"Okay, let's leave it at that for now. Thank you for your hard work, honey. Give me a kiss, mu-a!" After Yang Mo gave the kiss, he quickly hung up the phone.
He thought Lu Xueman would be angry, but Lu Xueman subconsciously touched her cheek, as if she was really kissed. She blushed subconsciously and muttered coquettishly: Hateful!
