After Zhou Xuan finished promoting the movie, there was a game against the Trailblazers the next day.

The Knicks players obviously overrelaxed, and their overall shooting from the outside was inaccurate, and they lost 101-106 at home.

The loss did not disturb Zhou Xuan's good mood. Making movies has made him earn a lot of money, and he can get close to 30 million yuan with zero salary.

This is calculated by Chris Evans for Zhou Xuan according to the box office, and "Captain America" envies him. Evans and Marvel signed a contract to play the captain in 9 films, so they will continue to act, and they can't sit on the ground. In the film and television entertainment industry, contract workers are more miserable, and Thor is also a contract like this. Scarlett can start the price in the second part of the Avengers, and some people predict that her salary in the second part will be more than 10 million. But none of these people can be compared with Zhou Xuan's "Pacific Rim".

Robert Downey Jr. plays a rich man, and in reality, the Avengers took nearly 50 million in salary plus dividends. That's more than the other five heroes combined.

Zhou Xuan's salary will be second only to Downey in "The Avengers", Johnny Depp in "Pirates of the Caribbean 4", more than countless popular fried chickens in Hollywood. This is no small miracle.

Since Zhou Xuan's salary will not be settled until 2013, this is only the beginning of the year, and Zhou Xuan, the athlete income on the Forbes list in 2013, must have locked the first place in the NBA. The salary plus annual salary is close to 50 million, and others can't compare with him at all. Coupled with advertising endorsement income, Zhou Xuan is likely to surpass Woods and Federer this year and become the first athlete to attract money, and those two mainly rely on advertising endorsement fees. Relying on Nike's shocking contract, Zhou Xuan's endorsement fee is also very terrifying.

Zhou Xuan's parents, who are far away in China, now have to wear sunglasses when they go out, and they are dressed in a God of War suit, and they will be interviewed by reporters when they are recognized. Acquaintances and relatives often joke when chatting: "The most successful thing in their lives is to have a money printing machine, and it is a ...... that prints dollars"

On January 4, the Knicks played at home against the Spurs.

The first thing Duncan did when he arrived in New York was to invite Zhou Xuan to a luxurious restaurant for dinner and talk about his situation.

"Brother, you and Mitchell helped me a lot this time and saved my marriage, and the children are very happy."

"You're welcome, when Mitchell got married, you had to come even if you asked for leave." Zhou Xuan smiled: "How is that guy?" ”

He was referring to his lover Elbano. Duncan laughed, "I was kicked out of the fitness center, I lost my job and went back to Houston." He didn't dare to use this as a threat, it wouldn't be good for him to make a big fuss, after all, he was just a small person. ”

Zhou Xuan secretly sighed that Duncan's methods were very gentle. If it's not gentle, you can hire a bunch of black men and cripple that guy. This kind of talent Queens and Brooklyn are so many that Stephenson knows. San Antonio must have it too, and the police won't be able to track it down as long as they disguise it as a robbery.

The two chatted about the movie, and Duncan congratulated Zhou Xuan on the success of the movie, and he will be able to eat in the entertainment industry in the future. Zhou Xuan has a headache As his fame increases, there are more people who go out to sign autographs, and there is less free space.

In the night's game, the Knicks played well and pulled away in the third quarter. Ginobili and Gary Niel played abnormally and hit iron again and again. Jeremy Lin stepped up again, scoring 16 points and five assists in 18 minutes of playing time.

The Spurs generally don't go all out in the regular season, and Popovich saw that the score was behind and didn't let the starting veterans play more. Duncan had just 11 points and six rebounds. Ray Allen had 7 points and 3 assists.

The Knicks won comfortably 102-86. He leads the way with a 29-3 record. The Spurs lost Game 8 and were overtaken by the Thunder in second place in the West.

On January 6, the Knicks challenged the Magic on the road. Zhou Xuan slashed 21 points, 3 rebounds, 25 assists and 4 steals, and 25 assists were the first in the number of assists per game this season.

The Magic's two interior defenders, Ucevic and Davis, may be the worst in the league, and Zhou Xuan has a way to pass them every time he shoots or splits the ball. The Magic will die even worse if the defense is compressed, and Nils is too short to interfere with Anderson and Parsons' misplaced shots. The Magic bench McRoberts was quicker, but he was not reused because of the poor offense.

The player who benefited from the Magic team was Afflaro. He was just a role player at the Nuggets, and now that the Magic are lacking outside attack points, he's getting a lot of shots, averaging 16 per game. A career-high 5 points. It's a pity that being the core of magic can't bring him any sense of superiority.

On January 8, the Knicks played at home against the Celtics.

The Celtics are only 16-17, but they have taught the Knicks a lesson with their tenacious fighting spirit. With consecutive wins, the Knicks players already have a feeling of being on top of the ladder, and they even despised the Celtics a little before the game. Because Rondo ruptured the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee in the game against the Hawks, he will miss all the rest of the NBA season.

Rondo's serious injury shocked the entire league. "Magic" Johnson, who is also a commentator for ESPN, said: "Without Rondo, this team will probably have a hard time making the playoffs, and if they want to move forward, they have to break up this team, trade Pierce to one team, and then trade Garnett to another team." ”

Rondo's injury gave the Nets a chance, and their chances of bringing in Garnett increased dramatically. Everyone knows that the Celtics are not going to play well. Being able to enter the playoffs is enough to choke on the first round, and under such conditions, it is better to send away a few cores directly, Rondo can recuperate from injuries with peace of mind, and others can play casually and choose a good rookie in the summer. The Celtics' two giants have their own dignity and don't want to be out of the regular season, and they will be willing to go to a strong team.

Away from the Knicks, the Celtics were an upset. Rondo was not there, so he could only start Avery Bradley, who usually plays point guard, and veteran Terry, and this change of formation caused the Knicks to be uncomfortable.

Bradley defended very well and limited Zhou Xuan's breakthrough. As early as his rookie season, Zhou Xuan found that Bradley was very strong defensively and had amazing lateral speed. Jeff Green came back and did a good job in defending breakouts, and Zhou Xuan's shooting rate dropped under the key care of the two.

If others play at a normal level, the Knicks can compete with the Celtics. But Nick Young went undercover again, repeatedly missed shots under Pierce's defense, he was faster and more agile than Pierce, and he had to attack with a pull-up jumper, leaving the coaching staff speechless. Replacing Nick Young, Leonard didn't get any cheap on Pierce. The older Pierce gets, the more demonic he gets, he can still play with the efficiency of a star.

Garnett was on the inside and was equally successful at defending Chandler. The Celtics ended up losing the Knicks for the fourth game 106-100. After the game, a lot of people mentioned Bradley's defense, and he could be named to the All-Defensive Team.

January was a bad month for the Knicks, who lost to the Pacers on the 11th. Leonard was also injured while defending George, and when the two were fighting for rebounds, Leonard lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground, holding his palm on the ground, causing a right wrist injury and will recuperate for several weeks.

Battier's eye-sealing defense didn't have much of an impact on Paul George. George, nicknamed "Pickled Pepper", has also begun to develop into an all-star, with a height of 206CM and a bounce power to participate in the dunk contest, making his jump shot very difficult to block. Battier couldn't stop it, and Stephenson and Matthews struggled even more, both of whom were 196CM. Only Parsons is about the same height as George. He played small forward, and West at No. 4 made a number of singles with a high success rate. Anderson and Scola were not well guarded.

87-90, the Knicks lost one more game, with a record of 30-5, and it became very difficult to challenge the 72-win record.

Small forward Copeland had a good chance to perform, with two players on the injury list and a 12-man squad.

Copeland aims to stay in the NBA, not just play one season and then be cut. He worked very hard in training and could shoot three-pointers consistently, but he was a little worse in terms of tactics, often standing stupidly on the outside, not knowing how to create opportunities for his teammates, and bad passing. The coaching staff hasn't used him much, and now he doesn't have to.

Mullin, Richmond and the others discussed. You can get a 10-day contract job in free agency in January, and now there are only 12 people left on the team, so it's best to look for two role players to be on the safe side, and fill them up if anyone gets hurt.

Richmond said: "Now there are people available on the inside, and if you sign a forward, you can consider Bobby Simmons, who has experience and can shoot threes, but he doesn't have any specialty. ”

Mullin asked, "Are there no other people with strength?" ”

"No, Simmons is the best, the others are unknown, we don't need guards." Richmond sighed.

Mu Lin thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Then wait a little longer, Coy will come back in about three weeks." ”

Glenn Grove asked, "We only have 13 players when he comes back, do you want another point guard?" Now there are only two point guards in the team, Zhou Xuan and Jeremy Lin. Entering the playoffs, I don't know if Jeremy Lin can still play at the level of the regular season, in case he is out of order, Zhou Xuan has no good substitute, which may become a hidden danger. ”

The proposal was necessary, and Mullin thought for a moment and asked, "Is there any option for a point guard?" ”

"No, but we can make a trade, with draft picks." Glenn already has a candidate.

"For whom?"

"Kendall Marshall of the Suns. He's a good playmaker, but he's completely out of action with the Suns, and the Suns definitely want to trade him. Even if he doesn't give up in the middle of the season, I'm afraid he won't stay in the summer, and a first-round pick should be enough to replace him. Glenn said.

A 13th pick in '12, Marshall won the Bob Cousy Award for Top Point Guard in college, won the Atlantic Coast Division assist title for two consecutive seasons, and averaged 9 per game in his second season. 8 assists broke the record!

Why can't such a lottery player play in the Suns? It is said that his defense is too bad and he is not good at fast attack, but his performance in college is eye-catching enough. The Knicks' first-round pick is certainly not high, and it is likely to be the last pick. Next year is a small year for the draft, and it is difficult to find a baby, so it is better to trade directly to get a fight. If the 30th pick is exchanged for the 13th pick this year, the Knicks look like they've made money.

Mullin immediately clapped his head and said, "Pay attention to him, and I'll ask Stephen's opinion." ”
