A petite woman walked back and forth in the player tunnel, her fingers interlaced and placed on her chest. It is obvious that the woman's eyes are a little ruddy, but her mouth is laughing happily.
"Mrs. Yi! Your son is simply one of the best basketball players I have ever seen!" Stevens, who walked into the player tunnel, saw the mother who was waiting for her son. He greeted him warmly and shook hands with Wen Xue .
"Thank you, Mr. Coach. If it weren't for you, Yiyang would not have the opportunity to play." A woman's face was full of gratitude. It is not easy for a woman to pull her son alone to grow up in a slum. If it weren't for Stevens, Wen Xue really didn't know what kind of path Yiyang would take.
"It's your son who has great strength. Believe my wife, if there are any teams who want to own it now, they will have to line up!" The joy in Stevens's heart is no worse than Wenxue. Yang's performance today also proved that Stevens did not misunderstand the wrong person.
The Asian defender who dared to confront John Wall was squeezed out because of his skin color and was almost buried. Fortunately, Stevens accidentally saw the video of that game when he was investigating Wall. Otherwise, the world would lose a talented basketball player.
"Yiyang he..." Wenxue pointed her slender finger to the exit of the player channel. She was wondering why her son hadn't come back.
"Oh, he must be being interviewed by reporters now. Madam, your son is already a star of Butler University!" Stevens smiled proudly.

"Also! Where are you from? I mean, are you from China or South Korea?"
"Do you have any thoughts about the performance of today's game!?"
"Is Harlan Gaudi too weak for you! Do you think if you face John Wall, do you have a chance to win!?"
Faced with a microphone that just reached his mouth and reporters who couldn't wait, Yiyang suddenly felt a little at a loss.
Since the death of his father until now, Yiyang, whose personality has changed dramatically, has basically not been noticed by others. Even though he played well in the high school league, no one likes this yellow-skinned bad-tempered boy.
Yiyang has always been the isolated person. He never knows what it feels like to receive attention.
Therefore, in the face of this sudden and large amount of attention, I didn't know what to do. Fortunately, at this time, Gordon Hayward, with a childish look, came up to relieve Yiyang.
Hayward grabbed Yiyang's shoulders from behind. This white small forward who looked like a high school student was not as deadly as it was on the basketball court at this moment.
"There is also on the court, I just need to shoot like in training. Because he can always find opportunities for us, I am very happy to have a player like him join the team. With him, we will definitely be able to go this season Far away!" The appearance of Hayward didn't make Yiyang say a word, satisfying the curious reporters.
Although the reporters were still questioning afterwards, under Hayward's "asylum", Yiyang was able to quickly return to the player channel.
"Hey, you have to get used to this kind of thing. The media is not all that bad. Sometimes, the media is quite useful for us." Hayward smiled and patted Yiyang on the back, but Yiyang, it is still Looks like facial paralysis.
Suddenly, Yiyang smiled. But not because of Hayward, but because the bad boy who was loved by the fans saw the most important person in his life.
"Mom." Yiyang stepped up and hugged the literature into his arms with his sturdy arms. The son has grown up, and now he is taking care of his mother.
"Do you know Yiyang, I am so proud! Your father, he will definitely be proud of you too!"
"I will play well, Mom. I have already told the coach that I want to play professional basketball like Dad. Stevens will also train me in that direction. Don't worry, we don't have to do that again. It's a time of fright. When I get my first salary, we will move! Leave Long Beach!"
"You have to listen to Mr. Stevens, okay? Don't trouble him. Mr. Stevens is a good man, and we can never forget him."
"Knowing Mom, I can still eat him. I'll go back to the locker room first, and I'll take you to the station later." Yiyang kissed his mother's forehead, and the staff approvingly looked at the stadium. Next, the last one walked into the team's locker room.
When Yiyang pushed open the locker room door, there was a warm applause in his ears.
"The hero is always the last to appear! Congratulations, you have won the first victory of your NCAA career!" Stevens took the initiative to take the lead, applauding Yiyang's wonderful performance. It turned out that all the members of the Bulldogs team had already been waiting in the locker room.
"Fifteen assists! God, you must have the ability to predict the future, right? You must know in advance where we will be in the next second!" Shelvin Mark now really likes this guy Qi Yiyang. Yes, give up his number one jersey, Mark now thinks it should be.
Mark said, Chong Yiyang stretched out a hand.
Yiyang was taken aback. After his father died and before entering Butler University, he had never been so close to anyone other than his mother. When he returned to the locker room in high school, Yiyang could only change his clothes and leave silently in the cold eyes of his teammates. But now, these guys actually took the initiative to applaud themselves. Yes, maybe not everyone in this world is that bad...
Yiyang grabbed Mark's hand, and the two of them pulled each other over at the same time, and their shoulders touched together. "Thank you for helping me up when I fell today, Mark."
"Hahahaha, you don't have to thank us for this kind of thing. Hey, we are a team, a team! Take care of each other, this is what we should do!"
"Today's air relay is really cool!" Willie Wesley also greeted Yiyang with a high-five.
"Hey, your passing made me guilty in front of Harlan Gaudí!" After that, it was the white center Matt Howard who had been yelled at by Yiyang's nose.
"Good boy, someday teach me the trick to stop and change direction." Even Norid, who was squeezed onto the bench by Yiyang, also took the initiative to embrace the new one. Then, more and more people came up, and Yiyang was surrounded by these guys with different skin colors.
Yiyang's enthusiasm for his teammates was still a bit blunt at first, but in the end, he gradually opened his heart. Yes, Yiyang knows that this time, he is really a part of this team. This smelly and hard stone seems to have been knocked open...

When Yiyang walked out of the court with his mother and Brad Stevens, there were few people left around the Bulldogs' home court.
After all, Butler University is not very close to downtown Indianapolis. Most people hope to go back to rest soon.
"I have called a car for you, ma'am. You can come here to watch football whenever you have time." Stevens was still polite to Yiyang's mother.
"Hey, it's him!" At this moment, a little boy pointed at Yiyang and ran to him excitedly.
"Also, can you please help me sign a name!? Just sign on this Bulldogs T-shirt!" The boy, who may be four or five years old, straightened his chest. UU Read www.uukanshu.com no In the distance, the little boy's parents were smiling gently.
"Huh?" Yiyang looked at Stevens standing beside him blankly.
"Give him an autograph, also. He is the first fan to ask you for an autograph. You can't refuse him."
"Can't you write your name?" the little boy asked innocently.
"I... of course I will!" Yiyang said, picked up the marker in the little boy's hand, and crookedly wrote his Chinese name on the little boy's chest.
After Yiyang finished writing, he returned the pen to the little boy, and then continued to be at a loss.
Stevens shook his head. At this time, shouldn't Yiyang touch the little boy's head and say some beautiful things to make everything happy? However, the appearance is cold and cold, but the heart is very warm. This is Yiyang.
"Dad, look, it's Yi's signature!" The little boy ran to his parents excitedly. "I must treasure this T-shirt!"
The little boy's parents touched his head affectionately. "You like it."
After , the happy family of three disappeared into the darkness in the distance.
"Look ah, it's so late, and there are fans waiting for you."
"I don't know what to do." Yiyang Chong Stevens tilted his head.
"Don't worry, you will find these things at your fingertips soon..."
While talking, the taxi called by Stevens arrived at the gate of the stadium. Watching Yiyang and her son get in the car and leave, the young marshal couldn't help but look up at the starry night sky.
Maybe soon, Yiyang will become one of these stars?
boy, it must be successful.
