Chapter 153 New Rules

After the game, Popovich took Diaw, who had just joined the team, to the press conference, while the other players went home talking and laughing after washing and tidying up.

Since a league reporter was coming to interview him tonight, Yang Ke didn't leave. Instead, after packing his backpack, he sat alone in the locker room.

"Dong dong!"

I don't know how long it took before the knock on the door finally sounded. An American beauty holding a microphone stretched half of her body at the door. When she saw Yang Ke, she immediately walked in with a smile, and greeted the photographer behind her with her backhand. The teacher followed.

Stepping on a height of ten centimeters, Hannah strode up to Yang Ke, stretched out her right hand apologetically, and said, "Hi, Yang, I am Hannah, a special reporter from the Alliance. I was delayed on the road for a little while, sorry to keep you waiting!"

"fine!"

Yang Ke shook his head with a smile. Although the waiting time is indeed not short, Hannah is very good at talking, and she is also a beautiful woman. As long as she is a man, she will not say anything.

Yang Ke stretched out his right hand, held Hannah's hand for three seconds in a very gentlemanly manner, and then let it go naturally. The impeccable etiquette gave Hannah a good first impression of Yang Ke.

The person carrying the camera was a white man. He looked at the screen and found that both Yang Ke and Hannah were a little too tall, and the result was not ideal, so he said, "Well, it's not easy to record like this, you'd better find sit down."

"Should be!"

Nodding, Yang Ke took the two of them to the leather chairs where Popovich and Borrego usually sat. When the photographer gestured OK, the interview began.

"Yang, nice to meet you."

Hannah said with a smile on her face, and at the same time took out a card from her bag with her left hand, and handed it to Yang Ke, "Yang, congratulations, you have been selected by O'Neill, and you will be in this year's All-Star Weekend Rookie Challenge , representing Team 'Shaq' O'Neal against Team 'Chuck' Barkley."

"This is good news!"

Smiling, Yang Ke took the card, opened it, and found that O'Neill's declaration of victory was written all over it, and at the end he praised Yang Ke in the tone of a senior, of course, the words are also commonly used on the Internet cliché.

After Yang Ke finished reading the cards, Hannah put the microphone in front of him, blinked, and asked, "Yang, you should know that O'Neal selected you with the second pick, what do you want to say about that?" Is it?"

If you want to stir up topics!

The corners of his mouth turned up slightly. Yang Ke knew very well that the reason why O'Neill chose him and Jeremy Lin was to use their identities as yellow-skinned players, coupled with their respective topics, to attract attention.

Of course, Yang Ke did not dare to say such a thing. After all, the interview video will be uploaded to the official website of the league. After thinking about it seriously, he said with a smile: "Thank you very much O'Neal for choosing me, so that I don't have to worry about myself. Will lose!"

"Yang, you really know how to joke!"

Hannah smiled and shook her head. Currently, Yang Ke is second only to Irving in the ranking list of the best rookies. If he can't be selected for the final list of the Rookie Challenge, isn't it true that more than half of this year's rookies can't? selected.

Thinking of this, Hannah found a good topic, and asked with a smile: "Yang, as far as I know, Irving is a direct competitor in the 'Chuck' Barkley team, are you looking forward to a confrontation with him? "

"Of course!"

...............

Half an hour later, the interview was finally over. Yang Ke politely sent Hannah out of the arena, and of course pretended not to understand her various hints.

"Yang, is the interviewer a female reporter?"

In a restaurant outside the arena, Emma was drinking orange juice leisurely. When Yang Ke walked over and sat opposite her, he sensed a strong scent of perfume and asked subconsciously.

"Well, it's a reporter named Hannah!"

Taking off his coat, he called the waiter to order another steak. Yang Ke nodded, without thinking too much, and replied casually.

"Oh."

I don't know him, so I answered calmly, and Emma didn't ask any further questions. She trusted Yang Ke very much, and then quietly ate the fruit salad in front of her.

As a Hollywood actress, Emma wants to keep her figure as much as possible, so she mostly doesn't eat high-calorie food at night.

Looking at Emma who was eating gracefully, Yang Ke showed gentle eyes and said with a smile: "By the way, I'm going to ask Elvers to help me find an apartment again."

"really?"

Looking up, Emma looked surprised. People who have just fallen in love often want to stick together every day. If it wasn't because Yang Ke's apartment was shared with Leonard, she would have moved in a long time ago. Anyway She hasn't had a trip recently.

"of course."

Yang Ke nodded. Now that he has a girlfriend after all, and has a lot of money in his account, it would be inconvenient for both of them to rent together with Leonard.

"Also, I'm going to buy a car."

Smiling, Yang Ke then said that since he wants to live alone, he will definitely not be able to take Leonard's free ride in the future. In this way, a private car is also necessary.

"You don't have to buy it for now. Isn't the MVP of the Rookie Challenge going to give a car? Yang, you go and try it first. Wouldn't it be better if you can win it?"

"There is such a rule? Why didn't I know? Did you read the wrong message?"

Yang Ke was stunned, and stared blankly at Emma. This kind of information is wrong at first glance. When will the MVP of the Rookie Challenge be given a car, and even the MVP of the All-Star Game will not be treated like this.

"No, look!"

Seeing that Yang Ke didn't believe it, Emma picked up her phone, opened the homepage of the NBA official website, clicked on the latest news about the All-Star Weekend, and handed it to Yang Ke's eyes.

…………

Early the next morning, under the leadership of Popovich, the Spurs players flew to Miami by plane, and they will challenge the Heat in an away game tomorrow night.

Due to the existence of the Heat's Big Three and the impressive record of No. [-] in the Eastern Conference, Popovich had to be cautious, so he chose to lead the team to Miami one day in advance.

On the flight, Yang Ke did not close his eyes and rest his mind like other teammates, but came to Popovich's side and asked in a low voice: "Coach, what do you think of the new rules announced by the league last night?"

"Ok?"

Stopping the pen in his hand, Popovich looked sideways at Yang Ke, was taken aback for a moment, then realized what he was asking, and said with a smile:

"There are only two most important new rules: 1000. The winner of the Rookie Challenge will win a prize of 500 million US dollars to fund orphanages in the Orlando area. [-]. The MVP of the Rookie Challenge will receive a car worth Cars under [-] million."

"I have to say that this is a good plan. It uses moral kidnapping and money kidnapping to force the rookies participating in this rookie challenge to play seriously from the beginning!"
