Chapter 118 Rookie of the Week
"Yang, you're a bit slow in coming!"

At this time, Hill, who was dressed in casual clothes, came out of the store, and quickly found Yang Ke, who was very conspicuous among the crowd, walked over with a few strides, hugged Yang Ke enthusiastically, and laughed said.

"Why don't you say that your speed is too fast? You don't even celebrate with your teammates."

Yang Ke was a little speechless. He rushed out of the arena as soon as he finished taking a shower. He thought he would wait for Hill for a while, but he never thought that he would be here long ago.

"This is just a regular season, and we didn't win the championship. There is no need to celebrate for a long time."

Speaking calmly, Hill was not complacent about beating his old club tonight. On the contrary, the fierce and anxious game made him extremely sober.The team still has a lot of shortcomings. If it wants to win the championship, it must work harder.

While talking, Hill saw Jessica walking over, was taken aback for a moment, and then asked Yang Ke, "Huh? Yang, who is this beauty?"

Smiling, Yang Ke stretched out his hand and naturally pulled Jessica to his side, pointed to Jessica, and introduced to Hill: "Jung Soo-yeon, English name is Jessica, one of my best friends."

As a model of a strong woman, Jessica doesn't like passive communication.When Yang Ke's voice just fell, she smiled and stretched out her right hand: "George Hill, hello, I'm Jessica, please give me your advice!"

"Oh, hello, welcome!" Hill stretched out his right hand and held Jessica's delicate hand, acting very gentlemanly.

good friend?He looked at the two with weird eyes. In Hill's view, there is no so-called pure friendship between men and women.Three seconds later, Hill and Jessica let go of their hands in a tacit understanding.

Although he was a little curious about the relationship between the two, Hill was not rude because of this, and turned around and bent over to make a gesture of invitation: "Both, the seat has been reserved, and my girlfriend is waiting inside, let's go in and chat while eating." !"

"Ok!"

At the same time, on the other side, at the press conference after the game, Popovich and Ginobili sat together, and below them were a group of media reporters with long and short equipment.

"Coach Popovich, after the Spurs lost this game, the Thunder surpassed you and took the No. [-] spot in the Western Conference. Excuse me, what do you think of this game?"

Popovich glanced at it first, and found that the questioner was a reporter from the Boston Sports News, who was not on the blacklist, and then said: "This is a wonderful game. The Pacers performed very well. They fully deserve it." I have nothing to say about this last win."

"As for the Thunder, it's very simple. We lost the game, they won the game, and they regained the No. [-] position in the Western Conference. It's normal. They have that strength."

The media reporters off the field were very helpless. Popovich's words were impeccable, and they did not catch a single flaw that could be exploited. In their opinion, it was equivalent to saying nothing.

In desperation, the media reporters turned their target to Ginobili on the side. The ESPN reporter asked: "Ginobili, can you tell me how the Spurs' final attack was arranged? Why did you do it at the end?" Choose to pass the ball to Young?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Ginobili said casually: "It's very simple, I have Hibbert in front of me, and Yang has already run out of the open space."

The ESPN reporter does not intend to let it go. Ginobili's ability to play big with a small size is the top in the league, so he is ready to seize this point: "But Yang didn't hit this ball. Let's imagine if you don't pass If you choose the ball instead of attacking yourself..."

"No matter how many times I do it again, I will choose to pass the ball in that situation. Basketball is a team sport, and as players, the most basic thing for us on the court is to trust our teammates." He interrupted the reporter bluntly, with a very serious expression on his face.

Glaring at the reporter, Popovich said on the street: "I don't think Ginobili's choice is wrong. There is no doubt that Yang has a big heart. His last shot is very decisive. It can be said There is no problem at all. The reason why I didn't get in is related to luck."

"Sorry, I have no questions."

Under Popovich's sharp eyes, the ESPN reporter felt pressured. Thinking of the big incident that happened not long ago, he said something apologetic, and then sat down angrily.

"I just received news from my colleagues that the league has just announced on the official website that Yang and Irving have become the best rookies in the East and West respectively last week."

Just as the ESPN reporter sat down, the male reporter from TNT stood up with a smile on his face, and congratulated Popovich and Ginobili.

"Oh, that's what he deserves."

"This is really good news!"

Popovich and Ginobili were taken aback for a moment, and then they reacted and laughed happily.

This is also news worth reporting, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and the TNT reporter continued: "I think, after getting this news, Yang should be very happy?! After all, this is the first award he won in his career. "

Shaking his head, Popovich smiled and blushed, looking very happy, and he said slowly: "This is not necessarily the case, although the best rookie of the week has proved that his past efforts are worthwhile. But he will not be overly happy because of this, perhaps it can be said that he wants more than this one..."

On the other side, in a small private room in the steakhouse, Yang Ke, Hill, Jessica, and Hill's girlfriend Samantha were chatting happily while eating steak.

Suddenly, Jessica's cell phone flickered continuously. She frowned, smiled apologetically at the other three, and then picked up the cell phone.

Quickly unlocking the lock, Jessica saw that it was the message from Taeyeon and the others. She took a closer look and shouted out in surprise: "Yang Ke, you beat Leonard on the same team and Ricky Rubio from the Timberwolves. Wait, won last week's Western Conference Rookie of the Year?"

"Really?" Yang Ke was taken aback, looking at the excited Jessica in disbelief.

"Of course, the country is already boiling!" Jessica said excitedly, and at the same time, she did not forget to hand the phone in front of Yang Ke.

At this time, Hill and Samantha also got the latest news through their mobile phones, and immediately said to Yang Ke happily: "Yang, congratulations, this week's best rookie deserves it!"

After confirming that the news was true, Yang Ke just smiled and expressed his gratitude to the three of Hill for their congratulations: "Thank you for your congratulations."

Knowing Yang Ke too well, Jessica was not surprised by Yang Ke's calmness at all, but she obviously didn't want to be so dull, so she suggested to everyone: "Let's take a photo together? We will post it on our respective social networks together at that time." on the platform."

"This is good!"

Samantha's eyes lit up, and she excitedly seconded that, as a family member of an NBA player, she likes to play on those social platforms the most.

"This can be."

Thinking for a while, Yang Ke also nodded, since he was targeted by media reporters and some people last time, although he got back through hard work in the end.

But he also realized that he lacked a platform to speak and communicate with the public. Unlike Leonard, there are some people in South Korea who want to destroy themselves.

The failure of the last time will only make them hide, waiting for the next more wonderful opportunity.So Yang Ke has been preparing to open a social platform for a long time, and this time, with the help of the celebration of the best rookie of the week, it may be a good opportunity to open it.

Seeing that Yang Ke didn't object, Hill didn't say much. Instead, Samantha took out the selfie stick she carried with her, found a good angle, and took a half-shot of the four of them and the small room.

Later, with the help of Samantha, Yang Ke opened his personal Instagram and Twitter, thought of a simple line, uploaded the photo, and followed the NBA, Spurs, and Hill.

More than 20 minutes later, after the four of them finished their meal, Yang Ke and Jessica bid farewell to Hill and his wife. After Jessica drove him back to the hotel, he drove to the Unlimited Hotel where he stayed in another hotel after watching the game. The challenge crew assembled.
