One Guard

phone-reading

The All-Star Weekend has officially come to an end. From the first day of this All-Star Game, fans have left a lot of topics. Until Kobe finally raised the All-Star Game MVP trophy as a full stop, the Los Angeles All-Stars gave the fans a satisfactory "answer".

As for Yiyang, through his appearance in this All-Star Game, this Chinese guard who played for the Dallas Mavericks has also begun to be known to the whole world.

This guy who controlled the overall situation in the rookie game and sent 23 assists, this guy who could tacitly connect with Kobe in the All-Star Game, has the same name as Wall, and has become synonymous with the best point guard in the new era.

Of course, getting these titles is not all good news for Yiyang. From now on, Yiyang will be brought under a magnifying glass by people. As long as there is a little bit of failure, it will be questioned. The competitions from now on will only be bigger challenges for Yiyang.

But Yiyang is not worried about this, on the contrary, he can't wait to return to the regular season, and play a real game to test himself. This is what makes Yiyang the most different from other rookies, he always only focuses on basketball!

But it's useless for Yiyang to want to play any more games. NBA officials stipulate that after the All-Star Weekend, the entire league will take another day off, so that no stars need to play back-to-back games. So today after the All-Star Game ended, Yiyang had to hold back his strong desire to fight, and rushed to Utah with Dirk to meet with the team and prepare for the away game against the Utah Jazz on February 23.

Of course, before that, Yiyang had to send his mother to the plane. Wen Xue will go back to Dallas directly after a crazy All-Star Weekend, instead of going to Utah with Yi Yang. And after seeing off his mother in the morning, Yiyang still has one last thing to do in Los Angeles—saying goodbye to that Italian girl who made an unexpected move on the beach!

At two o'clock in the afternoon, although it is now winter, the sunshine in Los Angeles will not dissipate all year round.

Los Angeles International Airport, in this majestic building, countless family and friends send each other off here. Due to the end of the All-Star Game, Los Angeles International Airport is now ushering in a return peak. The airport is crowded with people, and there are not a few stars gathered here.

Wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap, Yiyang stood in the airport and looked around. Although he was not as tall as other basketball players, many fans recognized him and took photos with him.

Yiyang didn't refuse anyone's request today, but Yiyang seemed a little absent-minded whether it was taking a group photo or signing an autograph.

He didn't come here to interact with fans for free, this guy was waiting for someone.

After bidding farewell to another family of enthusiastic fans, the cell phone in Yi Yang's hand suddenly rang. He quickly picked up his phone and stared at the screen, then smiled. The girl, here she is at last.

"Hey, where's your mother?" Vignali saw Yiyang waving at her, and trotted over dragging a small suitcase.

The girl is wearing a purple hooded sweater today, tight black sweatpants and a pair of Adidas basketball shoes on her legs. Yiyang could tell at a glance that this pair of shoes was the latest All-Star colorway launched by Adidas. Vignali, I should have bought it in Los Angeles.

"What are you looking at?"

"Ah!? Uh... my mother, just left." Yiyang found himself staring at her legs, so he immediately raised his head in embarrassment. But Vignali didn't seem to mind, instead she smiled charmingly.

The two walked around the airport and found a quiet coffee shop to sit down and rest. Yiyang and Dirk only set off tonight, and there was still an hour and a half left before Vignali's registration.

What is different from the past is that today Yiyang seems to be acting very unnaturally in front of Vignali. Such a scene reminded Vignali of how the two met for the first time.

Of course, as a girl, she knew very well why Yiyang behaved like this.

"Hey, these days, thank you!" Vignali said, staring at Yiyang with big eyes.

"no need thank me?"

"Thank you for spending an unforgettable weekend with me in Los Angeles."

"Uh... there's nothing to thank. I'm also very happy to be with you." Yiyang faltered, and completely lost the image of a tough guy on the basketball court.

"Happier than playing basketball?" Vignali said, moving her face closer to Yiyang.

Yiyang didn't answer, and took a sip of coffee in embarrassment. The moment the girl brought her face closer to him, Yiyang remembered that night on the beach in Santa Monica.

Vignali sat back again, for some reason, he just liked to see Yiyang shy. Maybe after staying in passionate Italy for a long time, Vignali prefers this kind of less unrestrained man.

"I told you, actually I don't like being a model at all." Seeing that Yiyang was too shy to speak, Vignali started another topic.

"But... I grew up training as a model, and I really didn't know at the time, what else would I do if I wasn't modeling? But that's when basketball came into my world. Finding a job that you love, being able to find a job that you're good at ... it's really not easy."

Yiyang nodded while listening to Vignali's words. Although the two came from different backgrounds, Yiyang felt very empathetic when he heard it. Now, aren't you doing a job that you both like and are good at?

"But it is really lucky to meet someone who likes the same thing as me and is in good tune." Vignali said, her eyes became different from before. Yiyang couldn't tell what was different, in short, he just felt that there were more...emotions?

"So, are we all lucky?" Yiyang's heart was pounding, but he didn't know why.

"That's right, we are the luckiest people in the world. Let's go! I'm about to pass the security check too!" Vignali said, standing up.

The two walked all the way to the entrance of the security supervision office, and after crossing the yellow line guarded by security personnel, Yiyang was not allowed to enter. So before that, the two stopped in front of the yellow line in a very tacit understanding, and then looked at each other.

At this time, there was only a small suitcase between the two of them. And the thickness of this suitcase is only 45 cm.

In psychology, 1.2 meters is a safe distance between people. Unless it is someone you particularly trust, know or be close to, whether it is talking or other communication, beyond this distance will make you feel insecure or uncomfortable.

The distance between 0 and 45 cm is suitable for occasions where the relationship between the two parties is the closest, such as between husband and wife and lovers. But what's interesting is that neither Yiyang nor Vignali felt uncomfortable at this distance.

Airport announcements began announcing passengers on a flight from Los Angeles to Italy to start boarding. Vignali looked up at the ceiling of the airport hall, as if trying to find the place where the sound came from.

"Also..." Vignali's expression changed again, this time it was reluctance. "I'm leaving".

Yiyang tried his best to put a smile on his face, "Okay, Vignari, goodbye."

"Goodbye, also."

Yiyang began to think in his heart, from childhood to adulthood, what kind of girl did he really like?

Most men have a standard for a girlfriend in their hearts. She is either pure and kind, lively and playful, or gentle and mature. But if this man also likes basketball by chance, then his girlfriend should be wearing a ponytail, wearing a large jersey and basketball shoes, always on the sidelines, watching him silently, and even stepping into the basketball court with him.

Will there be such a girl who loves basketball like you, and she understands why you insist on training every day, because she herself is the same.

She pays attention to you and your team, she likes to wear jerseys and sneakers as much as you do, and she even has more jerseys and sneakers than you. She can discuss a certain attack, a certain tactic with you.

Most importantly, she understands what basketball means to you.

After saying this, Yiyang suddenly raised his head, and Vignali happened to be standing in front of Yiyang with a smile. Could this Italian girl be "her"?

Sure enough, after the two young basketball players said goodbye to each other, neither moved.

"I'm really leaving." Vignali put her hands on Yiyang's shoulder playfully.

"Remember to call me when you arrive." Yiyang made a microphone gesture and put it to his ear.

The overhead radio blared again, urging Los Angeles-bound passengers to get on board. The sweet female voice of the announcer was particularly unpleasant to Yiyang's ears at this moment.

"If Xia Tian has time... come to me." Yi Yang found that he was reluctant to let this girl leave.

"I'll spend the whole summer with you, won't I?" Vignari took another step forward.

"certainly!"

"So... this time I really left." Vignali was expecting something, but at this moment she was a little disappointed.

At this moment, the Chinese boy put his arm around the Italian girl's waist.

Yiyang swallowed, and leaned forward. This may be the most courageous thing he has ever done in his life.
