play for it

Chapter 36 Prelude
Not long after, Popovich returned to the locker room with Duncan and Parker after attending the press conference, and then announced on the spot that he would not stay in Memphis tonight, but flew back to San Antonio overnight on the zero-point flight he had found.

This time, no player complained about it. Although taking the zero-hour flight back will make the body and mind exhausted, the next opponent of the Spurs is the Clippers.This time they will be playing at home, and before the game, they still have two days.

And if they go back tomorrow morning, according to the old rules, they will definitely have a whole day off tomorrow, so compared to staying in the unfamiliar Memphis, they prefer to rest in San Antonio, which is more convenient and comfortable.

At one o'clock in the morning, the plane of the Spurs arrived in San Antonio. After Popovich announced that he would not practice today, the already exhausted people dispersed and went home together.

After returning home, Yang Ke said goodnight to Leonard, and then went directly to his bedroom and threw himself on the bed. This time, no one disturbed him when he was asleep. He fell asleep until he woke up naturally. of.

at noon!
When Yang Ke woke up, he looked at the time and frowned. He used to wake up early in the morning for training, but now he only woke up at noon.

He doesn't like the feeling of being disrupted in his daily schedule, but there is nothing he can do about it. As the regular season progresses and there are more and more away games, this situation will only increase and will not decrease.

"Elves, why are you here?"

Putting on his clothes quickly, Yang Ke opened the door and walked out. When he wanted to get a bottle of milk from the refrigerator, he saw Elvers sitting on the guest table, and was taken aback for a moment.

"After the game last night, something happened, so I came to you and Leonard."

After taking a sip of coffee, Elvers looked up at Yang Ke, his expression was not very good, and there were several newspapers in his hand.

It must be a bad thing for Elvers to come here on his own initiative, and even brought a few newspapers with him. Yang Ke frowned and thought about it seriously. He performed well in the game last night and won the game.

If something really happened in that area, then it would only be because of me and Li Qiuxue showing some intimacy in the player tunnel. Thinking of this, Yang Ke turned to Elvers and said, "It can't be because of me and Li Qiuxue, right? Don’t worry about that, Li Qiuxue is a new reporter, I was just being interviewed by her at the time, but I had a little fun chatting with her.”

Elvers shook his head. Although the photos of Yang Ke and Li Qiuxue talking and laughing were reported, they did not cause much disturbance.

"Emma Watson's father, in an interview with a media outlet last night, outspokenly opposed your relationship with Watson, and..."

Then thinking of the person who came to the door, his expression suddenly became very serious, and he said in a very tricky way, "Last night, he found me through his relationship and asked for your phone number."

Emma Watson's father, Chris Watson.

Yang Ke raised his eyebrows slightly. Chris Watson had a great influence on Emma Watson. To be precise, Emma never resisted except for letting her give up her career and return to Oxford University. her father.

This is related to Emma's childhood experience. When her parents divorced in the early years, she lived with her father, and the economy was very difficult. Her father still insisted that Emma go to a prestigious school, even though the tuition fees had exceeded Emma's father's burden, which made Emma very happy. Trust and depend on his father.

As a responsible agent, without knowing that Yang Ke and Emma are fake, Elvers thought a lot about this matter, and then continued: "He has many ways to find your Contacted on the phone, but found me through a person, which made me have to..."

"What happened to Leonard again?"

It was very impolite for Yang Ke to interrupt Elvers aloud for the first time, but for now he had to do so.Turning around, he walked towards the refrigerator, opened the door of the refrigerator, and reached out to take out a bottle of regular milk from it.

"Yang..."

Looking at Yang Ke's back, Elvers opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but in the end he didn't say it. He sighed, even if he was a manager, he couldn't get involved in matters like feelings.

"Didn't he behave badly last night?"

As he spoke, he picked up a newspaper and looked at the main headlines. Elvers felt another headache for a moment. Tough troubles came one after another, but he still hadn't solved one of them. Agents are more tired than players.

Taking a sip of the cold milk, Yang Ke held the bottle, feeling very surprised, and turned to look at Elvers: "Who said that? Leonard performed very well last night. Popovich was on the plane The boss even praised him for coming."

"But his numbers aren't great."

Elvers said again, telling a fact.

"Mr. Elvers, you should also know a lot of things on the court, which cannot be reflected by the statistics. And as a rookie, he is not a super rookie like James, so you can't ask too much of him."

Yang Ke frowned, took the milk and walked to sit opposite Elvers.If you say that, his statistics are not good. No one in the newspaper said that he did not perform well. Maybe he was attracted by the things between him and Emma.

"Leonard is a rookie traded with Hill alone."

Elvers said lightly, although Leonard is not a super rookie, but based on this, he has attracted a lot of attention.

Having said that, Yang Ke understood a little bit, thinking that the Pacers also had a game last night, so he asked, "How did Hill perform last night?"

"Well, the data of the All-Star, 22 points, 8 assists and 3 steals, without a single turnover, almost perfect performance led the Pacers to win the game."

Elvers nodded, said in praise, and at the same time raised the front of the newspaper in his hand to face Yang Ke.

There was a huge picture of Hill attacking in the newspaper, and under the picture of Hill, there was a small picture of Leonard being broken by Gay.

The main title of the article is Hill, who has grown into a first-line guard, and the subtitle is the disappointing Leonard.

Don't think about the content of other newspapers on the table is the same as this one, Yang Ke fully understands what happened to Leonard.

Simply changing the object data and the huge difference in performance made the media reporters grasp a big news point, and the strong gap made the fans very disappointed, and may even go to extremes.

Shaking his head, Yang Ke put the milk on the table. He knew that there was a gap between Hill and Leonard, and this kind of thing had to be done slowly, so he asked, "Leonard hasn't woken up yet?" bring it on?"

"No, he's gone."

Elvers shook his head. When he came here, Leonard happened to get up to pee, so he told Leonard about it immediately.

Yang Ke was taken aback, and then quickly asked, "Where did he go?"

"I went to Popovich and said that I want to ask the coaching staff to make a training plan for myself."

Elvers thought for a while, and then said that although Leonard left in a hurry, he also told him his purpose.

"Elfers, if it's okay, I think I'm going first."

Hearing what Elvers said, Yang Ke stood up immediately. He knew very well that Leonard asked Popovich to help him formulate a suitable training plan so that his strength could improve rapidly. Leonard should be in the gym in a moment.

"It's okay, you go."

Elvers knew that as a good friend, Yang Ke wanted to go to Leonard's place urgently, and shook his head.

After getting the answer he wanted, Yang Ke picked up the key, opened the door and ran out like the wind, quickly stopped a taxi, and went to the training hall.

It's also time for Young and Leonard to buy a car. It's not suitable for the two of them to take a taxi to the training hall like they are now.

Elvers stood up, walked to the window, looked out of the window at Yang Ke leaving in a taxi, and couldn't help thinking that having their own car was not only more convenient, but also safer.

"I'm busy now."

Shaking his head, Elvers sighed, turned back to his seat and sat down, holding newspapers and looking, he needed to pay attention to the latest news, to see if there was anything that could threaten the two of them.
