Chapter 35 First win of the season
In the next game, as Ginobili and Duncan broke out successively, Popovich consciously allowed the team to speed up the offensive rhythm.

At the same time, the Grizzlies' outside line lost its due deterrence early due to the loss of physical strength. Therefore, the Grizzlies can only rely on their inside advantage to persist hard, clinging to the double-digit point difference just now.

Seeing this situation, in the second half of the third quarter, Popovich replaced Yang Ke with Parker, ready to take advantage of the victory and kill the game with one blow.

With the debut of the Spurs GDP triple core, the already struggling Grizzlies completely collapsed, and the game lost its suspense.By the end of the third quarter, the Spurs had led the Grizzlies by 27 points.

At the beginning of the fourth quarter, the Grizzlies raised the white flag to surrender early and replaced with a full bench lineup. Popovich also mercilessly replaced with pure substitutes. Yang Ke and Leonard did not play again.

At the end of the game, the Spurs defeated the Grizzlies 92:85 and got their wish in the away game to get a good start to the season.

Among them, Leonard played 10 minutes and scored four points, four rebounds, one assist, one steal and two fouls and turnovers.And Yang Ke, who played a little earlier than him and played 25 minutes, scored six points, six assists, one rebound and one turnover.

The statistics of the two are very unattractive, but anyone who has watched the game knows that Yang Ke and Leonard used their defense to provide a huge help to the victory of the game, and its role is by no means reflected in these statistics .

"Hey Yang, your defense is great!"

With a sweaty towel on his shoulders, Conley smiled and greeted Parker with a hug, and then separated. In a blink of an eye, he saw Yang Ke coming again, and said with a smile.

"Thank you, I just played a little better in this game."

Walking in front of Kangli, Yang Ke smiled, stretched out his right hand, and watched Kangli's movements with his eyes. After so long, he was still not used to hugging and greeting each other.

So when he took the initiative to say hello, he would follow their form. Of course, if Conley took the initiative to hug and say hello, he would not object.

"Yang, sometimes don't be too modest."

Basic defensive skills are not something that can be performed well enough to be so solid. Conley smiled and held Yang Ke's hand. He could hear the humility in Yang Ke's words.

After holding it for two seconds, Conley consciously released it. Handshakes are still very popular in the United States in recent years. He happened to know some etiquette in this area, and then said: "In this game, Yang, you hit me. Unprepared, I remember you, and I look forward to our next fight."

"Me too, I hope I can learn a lot from you in the next game."

Yang Ke nodded with a smile, then took his leave and turned around to leave. Apart from the short-term opponents in the game, the two of them didn't have any interaction in private, so they were just polite.

After taking the initiative to greet all the players of the Grizzlies, Yang Ke walked back to the bench, picked up a glass of Gatorade surrounded by ice cubes, and followed the Spurs into the player tunnel.

At this time, there were many fans waiting here in the player tunnel. Seeing the Spurs players coming in, they happily stretched out all kinds of small pieces with the Spurs logo in their hands, and at the same time shouted the names of their favorite players .

And the Spurs player who won the ball and was in a very happy mood stopped cooperatively, walked up to the fans calling his name, and signed his name on those small pieces with a pen. Have a chat.

"Mr. Yang Ke?! Mr. Yang Ke..."

Yang Ke knew very well that there could be no fans of his own here, and when he was about to speed up his pace and walk to the locker room, a pure Chinese-style Chinese pronunciation suddenly rang in his ears.

Someone called me?

Yang Ke was surprised, stopped, turned his head to look at the source of the sound, and saw an Asian woman standing outside the iron railing of the passage.

Fair skin, sweet appearance, round chin, waving happily to him, with a small book in his hand.

Obviously this Asian woman is not a fan. Yang Ke thought about it and walked over. After all, as a compatriot, she took the initiative to call herself, and asked politely: "Miss, hello, what do you call me?" something?"

"Hi Yang Ke, my name is Li Qiuxue, a reporter from Huaguo Penguin Sports, may I interview you now?"

Looking at Yang Ke who was within reach, Li Qiuxue was very excited. She had already grasped the notebook and the water-based pen tightly in her hands, but due to her professional skills, she still spoke in a complete and fluent manner. .

Hearing her name, Yang Ke paused, raised his eyebrows slightly, his face became a little strange, and said, "Li Qiuxue? I have a friend with the exact same name as yours."

Hearing this, Li Qiuxue didn't change much expression on her face. She brushed the bangs in front of her forehead with her hand, and said with a mysterious smile on the corner of her mouth, "Really? It just so happens that I also know a Yang Ke, but he is different in every way." It's so different from you."

Squinting his eyes, although he felt a little unbelievable, Yang didn't think too much, and instead asked: "Excuse me, can you tell me why you are the only one here?"

This question is not confidential, so Li Qiuxue answered directly: "Yi Xiaolian signed with the Dallas Mavericks, so they all went to Dallas."

Yang Keming nodded in understanding, and then asked curiously: "So that's the case, so you came here because you are more optimistic about me?"

Li Qiuxue shook her head with a smile, and said with a smile, "Of course not. As a newcomer, I don't have the right to choose."

So direct, what the hell, beauty, can you chat.

The corner of Yang Ke's mouth twitched upwards. He also guessed the reason, but he didn't want Li Qiuxue to say it so straightforwardly.

He raised his right hand speechlessly, looked at the time on the watch on his wrist, and then said to Li Qiuxue, "Okay, beautiful lady, I will accept your interview, but only for 10 minutes."

"Yang Ke, thank you for your cooperation, 10 minutes is enough."

…………

After washing, Yang Ke sat on the chair in front of his closet and put his things in the backpack. The jerseys were collected by a dedicated staff and taken back for cleaning. Of course, you have to think it is special, and put it away by yourself also can.

"Yang, you shouldn't have been too intimate with that woman just now. There are still many reporters in the player tunnel. Be careful that someone will use you tomorrow to criticize your relationship with Watson."

Wiping his wet hair with a towel, Leonard walked up to Yang Ke and sat down next to him, and said as he opened the backpack and put his things into it.

Yang Ke was taken aback, knowing that Leonard was concerned about him, and then explained: "She is a reporter, and I am just being interviewed."

"Will the reporter record the interview without a device? Now that reporter still uses a pen and a notebook to interview? Yang, you really can't lie."

Leonard turned his head and gave Yang Ke a blank look, obviously not believing his explanation at all.

"..."

Yang Ke looked at Leonard speechlessly, why didn't he believe it.
