Chapter 223 [Big Man Has Great Wisdom]
On the 13th, Wang Jun flew to Los Angeles with James, Boozer, Abby, and Robert.
While waiting at the airport, Wang Jun and James discussed how to actively cooperate and swipe the data.
They are all looking forward to tomorrow's game.
James proposed, "I'm in charge of the break, I'm in charge of the breakaway, you're in charge of the rebounds and the shots, so there's no conflict and let them know why we're called the Platinum Generation." ”
Wang Jun added: "Attack you quickly, pay attention to me in the positional battle, Carman will definitely be happy to help me cover, the rookie game defense is not strict, as long as you pass me, absolutely brush the assist, optimistic about the right side 70 degrees and the bottom corner." ”
Boozer sat on the sidelines in a daze, seemingly completely uninterested in the match.
Wang Jun didn't deliberately talk to Boozer, asking him to be an undercover agent in the second-grade team, not embarrassed, but unnecessary.
As long as he plays normally, Boozer will definitely be a good undercover agent on the defensive end.
Having played with the Suns, Wang Jun feels that Stadamyer's defense is not very good, as for Yao Ming, he will never be unsympathetic to defend his fellow countrymen, right?
After getting on the plane, Wang Jun and Abby didn't talk much.
Abby was so tired that she looked a little haggard.
The reporter's job is not good, she has been following the Cavaliers to interview, and now she is going to the All-Star Game again.
This working holiday is small, it seems to be more free, but it is actually very difficult, especially for newcomers, who have to familiarize themselves with the rules of the industry and work hard to adapt.
In addition, Abby is still depressed and can't be by Wang Jun's side, tomorrow is Valentine's Day, and they can't date like ordinary couples.
Theron isn't in Los Angeles, and she's just signed to the crew of "National Treasure." There is no dividend, and the fixed salary is 6 million. is twice as high as when she played "The Female Devil".
Considering that it is a group drama, this salary is more reasonable. surpassed Theron's other group drama "Stealing the Day".
It's just that her partner is Nicholas of "Box Office Poison" and "King of Bad Movies"? Cage, this is a bit risky.
Cage has been on the streets in various ways since "Brave Island", especially "Wind Whisperer", which closed down the company, and John Woo couldn't get along in Hollywood.
The film has just begun to be filmed, and many critics are ready to spray it.
In short, Theron is going to film, and the next few months will be busy, and the crew will be filming in Washington and Philadelphia.
The group arrived in Los Angeles. Wang Jun and Abby are temporarily separated.
Abby and Robert were going to go through the formalities related to the reporter's interview, and someone specially received them.
James, Wang Jun, and Boozer got into the organizer's car and went to the stadium to gather and wait for the press conference.
Entering the stadium, Wang Jun saw Yao Ming, who was talking on the phone and smiling embarrassedly, and beckoned him to say hello.
"Hey, Brother Yao, what's the situation with such a happy smile?"
Yao Ming hung up the phone. "You're here. I just signed a contract and talked to my family. ”
Just an hour ago, McDonald's, the world's largest fast-food company, officially signed a contract with Yao Ming in Los Angeles, and he became the global face of McDonald's. This made his "money journey" brighter.
After chatting a few words, Wade, Anthony and others arrived one after another.
Wade greeted everyone affectionately, and Anthony lost his previous arrogance. shook hands with Wang Jun, James and others one after another.
A handsome white guy next to him hesitated to come over, looking like he didn't look like he was playing basketball.
James recognized him at a glance as Bulls guard Koke? Hinrich. Warmly took him over to chat together.
Among the players Wang Jun knows, James is the most proficient. I don't look like a high school student at all, I feel like I'm a brother from all over the world.
James is polite, and his character is on the one hand, and forced on the other.
He is dissatisfied with the team's lineup, and the city where the Cavaliers are located is not good, if he wants to have a good partner, in addition to money attraction, he must also have a good relationship.
Hughes instructed Wang Jun to make friends for this purpose, to accumulate contacts for the future.
The first- and second-year players who are now competing in the rookie game are all potential new stars, and in a few years, they may develop into supergiants, and there are many benefits to becoming friends.
Los Angeles' biggest star, O'Neal, is long overdue.
As soon as he came, he played treasure, ran over and glared at Wang Jun and clapped his hands. "Hey Yao, how did you get shorter today?"
Yao Ming stood next to him and was embarrassed. O'Neill turned his head to look at him, pretending to be surprised and shrunk his neck, exclaiming, "So you're here, I'm sorry, you two are so similar, you're like brothers." ”
O'Neal amused everyone, except Kobe.
Kobe Bryant had a gloomy face, just smiled when he saw people, and stayed alone.
The fact that he and O'Neill didn't talk was obviously true, even in front of a group of people.
The infighting in the OK combination has directly affected the Lakers' record, and the luxury F4 is currently only ranked third in the West, which is considered a failure, after all, they all thought they would hit the Bulls' winning record.
Martin and Kidd arrived together and saw Wang Jun very affectionate.
"Tomorrow we will watch the game." Kidd encouraged.
"Strive to win an MVP." Martin slapped him on the back.
Wang Jun complained in his heart: I want to be low-key if I want to win MVP. What should I do if you say it so loudly and the other party is staring at me?
Ben Wallace arrived, and there was finally something out of place. He saw the three members of the Nets, with their heads held high and their nostrils facing the sky, and the team was suppressed by the Nets, which made Big Ben unhappy.
Carman came and ignored Wade, posing as a lifelong enemy.
In addition, most of the people who came to participate in the celebrity weekend were in harmony.
There are also many people who obviously don't play and don't participate in individual challenges to brush up their presence, and most of them are newcomers and role players on the team. They hope to be familiar with celebrities, and they will have thighs to hug in the future.
There are no real lone heroes in the NBA, there are many examples of failures due to misfits, and there are almost no stars who do not fit in but succeed.
Therefore, even an arrogant person like Anthony has begun to learn to keep a low profile.
Look at the arrogant Milicic, who didn't play at the Pistons, let alone participate in the Star Weekend.
After everyone arrived, they took promotional photos together.
The first- and second-year teams took a group photo, and the East and West star teams also took a group photo.
After that, the players were interviewed by the media separately.
Among the rookies, the most popular are Wade, James, Anthony, and Wang Jun, who performed the best.
In addition to basketball, someone asked Wang Jun about Valentine's Day, and when it came to Theron, Wang Jun smiled and refused to answer. "I'm sorry, it's my private business."
The popularity of other rookies is significantly worse.
This rookie didn't play well inside, and he didn't score a double-double, otherwise Kaman would not have been invited to participate, and no reporter would have been willing to interview him.
Finally, a reporter talked to Carman, but Abby saw that he was too non-existent and went to comfort him.
The most talked-about All-Stars are O'Neal and Kobe.
The media likes to stir up trouble and ask if they will actively cooperate in the game and help another person win the MVP?
It's an unwritten rule of the All-Star Game, and it's common for stars to pass the ball to their home star and help him win the MVP. And this time the star game is more alternative, and the two home stars have contradictions.
Kobe Bryant didn't answer, and went straight to blackface.
O'Neal smiled and said: "Kobe Bryant will pass the ball to me because I will definitely throw the ball in, the backup center in the East can't stop me, I am the most dominant center." ”
The big guy has great wisdom, O'Neal mechanically expressed that Kobe Bryant was not as good as himself, and also complained that Yao Ming grabbed him as the starter, and the reporters were very satisfied.
The interview ended without a hitch, the players were free to spend the evening, and tomorrow the event officially began. (To be continued.) )
