Chapter 182 The Return
Dazed, looking sideways at Emma, ​​Yang Ke said in disbelief: "Are you kidding me? Just relying on these two games, she became my fan?!"

"Indeed!"

Yang Ke nodded, his right hand slowly slid down, clasped his fingers tightly with Yang Ke's palm, and said slowly, "Taylor is a professional basketball fan, she knows the ball very well, and even her basketball level is very good."

"Taylor is a fan of many star players. Many times she even appeared on the scene and watched the game in person. It is very likely that your wonderful three-point performance in the past two days has attracted her."

Fumbling his chin, Yang Ke nodded thoughtfully.He had not only seen the news on the Internet once that Taylor appeared in the arena to watch the news, and the team he watched the game was not fixed.

If I think about it seriously, it seems that the beginning of Taylor's change of attitude seems to be after the game last night, as if just as Emma said, Taylor has really become his fan.

Thinking of something, Yang Ke was suddenly a little happy, and quickly asked Emma: "Honey, since this is the case, do you think Taylor will not target me like before?"

"Of course!"

Pursing her lips and smiling, Emma then acted like a baby and bumped Yang Ke lightly with her shoulder, "I'm hungry, let's choose the restaurant first."

"Yes! Yes! I almost forgot the business!"

.........

On the last day of the All-Star Weekend, Yang Ke did not go to the Amway Center Arena, let alone pay attention to any news related to the All-Star Game.

Although in the Spurs, Parker and Duncan were selected to the Western Conference All-Star team, but they are deeply influenced by the Spurs atmosphere.In the show-like All-Star Game, he is destined not to have much playing time, let alone compete for the MVP.

Therefore, Yang Ke didn't have to cheer for them on the spot, and it was rare to have nearly a whole day's rest time.So apart from regular training to ensure his own state, Yang Ke stayed with Emma during the rest of the time.

At 2012 o'clock in the evening on February 2, 27, when Yang Ke and Emma were hungrily entangled together, with the end of the All-Star Game, the Orlando All-Star Weekend officially came to an end.

The Western All-Star team was almost overturned when they led by 20 points in the fourth quarter. Fortunately, Kobe stood up at the critical moment and stabilized the situation with consecutive shots, helping the Western All-Star team to win 152-149.

Even so, the league eventually awarded the MVP to Kevin Durant of the Thunder.It's just because Durant's data is much more luxurious than Kobe's. After all, Kobe was keeping a low profile in the first three quarters, but he just made some efforts at the last moment.

Early the next morning, Yang Ke took the first flight with Parker, Duncan, and Leonard. Under Popovich's remote command, he was preparing to rush back to San Antonio as quickly as possible.

“Yang, Emma isn’t going to go back with you?”

Looking at Yang Ke who was alone, Parker raised his eyebrows unexpectedly, and asked with a smile, the degree of bonding between Emma and Yang Ke is obvious to all teams in the world.

"She has a job."

After taking a breath, Yang Ke said casually.While packing up his things this morning, Chris called and said that there was an important contract that could not be postponed, and Emma needed to arrive in person, so he would be alone.

Seeing that Yang Ke couldn't lift his spirits at all, Parker thought of something, his face was very serious, and said: "Yang, although Emma is indeed very beautiful, you still have to exercise restraint at this time. If you are squeezed dry, it will make you Get out of your game on the pitch and you're screwed!"

The corners of his mouth twitched speechlessly, and he gave Parker a blank look. Yang Ke said depressedly, "What are you talking about? I'm just a little disappointed because of the separation. Besides, don't you believe my self-control?"

Although the time with Emma was really cool, Yang Ke is also very clear that after the All-Star Weekend, the impact stage of the schedule has arrived.

In the remaining 20 or so games, as long as there is a team that hopes to advance to the playoffs, they will do their best.And at this moment, Yang Ke also didn't want to break the chain, so when he was with Emma, ​​he was cautious.

"So much the better!"

Parker nodded. He believed in Yang Ke's self-control ability very much, so he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.This season, due to the rise of Yang Ke and Leonard, there is also the addition of strong support Diao from outside.

With the support of various circumstances, Parker is full of expectations for this season and has confidence in winning the championship. Therefore, he is very concerned and cautious about the state of his teammates.

At this moment, Duncan, who had been expressionless, handed them several newspapers and said, "You guys take a look at this. This is TNT's view on this All-Star Weekend."

"Oh? Really, so fast!"

Yang Ke was taken aback, the All-Star Weekend had only been seven hours past, and the newspaper had already been printed.He took the newspaper and left a copy for himself, and then passed it to Parker and the others, saying in surprise.

"Can't it be done quickly?"

Without thinking, Parker replied directly.With the rapid development of Internet media, what usually happens will be published on the Internet within a few minutes. If the newspapers don't work hard, they will only starve to death.

Nodding suddenly, Yang Ke came to his senses and stopped asking. He lowered his head and looked at the newspaper. A huge headline instantly came into view: Enthusiasm for participating in this All-Star Weekend has been seriously weakened!
Focusing on this topic, Yang Ke's attention was immediately attracted, his eyes narrowed slightly, and he continued to look down.

"Comparing with the data, we will find that compared with previous seasons, fans' enthusiasm for voting for this year's All-Star has dropped a lot. As the vote king, Howard only has more than 160 million votes, which is only equivalent to the number of votes he once had. About half of the time when I won the All-Star vote..."

"One of the most important reasons for the emergence of such a situation is that due to the lockout incident a few months ago, the time for the All-Star voting was artificially compressed, so it is reasonable to shrink the number of votes..."

"Another reason that cannot be ignored is the loss of fans in the Asian market... But the good news is that the Asian rookie Yang Ke is very good, and he is already bringing the league back to the Asian market..."

"Don't you see, it is because of his existence that the attention of this year's Rookie Challenge will be dozens of percentage points higher than the previous ones..."

After reading the newspaper in his hand, Yang Ke blinked. There is no doubt that the author of this column is very professional and talented, and he analyzed this year's All-Star Weekend in a logical manner.

However, what puzzled Yang Ke was, is he really as important and has potential as described in the newspapers? When will he be able to boost the Asian market and popularity for the league like Brother Yao Ming did?!
