Chapter 701 [Vow not to give up, not optimistic]
In early July, Wang Jun and Abby attended the premiere of Theron's film "Superman for All" together.
This incident made entertainment news headlines again, stealing the limelight from the starring Will Smith.
Smith and Wang Jun have known each other for a long time, and joked that this is a hustle and bustle, and they want to PK with him. In fact, the organizer was very happy, Wang Jun's attendance was very eye-catching, and the rumors of the two girlfriends attracted countless media speculation, and even the movie became popular.
The premiere was very lively, and there were many entertainment industry stars, Stuart Townsend, Keanu Reeves, etc., these two stood together very distinctly, like two extremes, one bright and one dark, killing countless films in seconds.
Chinese actress Liu Yifei also attended the premiere, wearing a set of colorful skirts, with a youthful and beautiful image, and greeted Wang Jun and chatted for a while.
In April this year, she starred in "The King of Kung Fu", which starred as the female number one, and was released in North America, because of Jet Li and Jackie Chan, the box office was not bad.
Wang Jun watched this movie, it was amazing. When Lao Sun made trouble in the Heavenly Palace with a golden hoop stick, he could only babble. By the time he was rescued from the stone, he was already able to express his gratitude to his dear Skywalker in fluent English. 500 years...... Sun Wukong must have been practicing English hard in the stones.
"Superman for All" is also a typical popcorn movie, Theron finds it boring, just to make money, but Wang Jun is very enjoyable to watch, he likes this kind of commercial film the most.
Funny, special effects, superman, beauty, with these elements, even if the plot has no depth, what does it matter?
Theron said that since then, he has mainly made commercial films because he likes it.
Abby found that the two had a common language in terms of entertainment, talking about everything, being intimate, and a little jealous. She didn't leave the table angrily, otherwise she would really make big international news.
Nominally, she has always been Wang Jun's decent girlfriend, and Theron is his best friend.
After another week, Wang Jun and Abby went back to China together.
Abby is in charge of interviewing the Chinese men's basketball team, while Theron is busy with work, attending various events and promoting the film around the world.
At the airport, the welcome ceremony was grander than the last time Wang Jun returned, and major media sent reporters to conduct interviews.
He was the pride of China when he won the first crown; He was the strongest star in China at the time of the two championships; After winning the World Championships, he became a national hero; Three crowns, he became a national business card.
Now, Wang Jun has been deified in China, he is the number one star in the world basketball world, even Kobe's popularity is far behind.
The finals were advertised as a pinnacle showdown between two superstars, but the result was a one-sided sweep, and Kobe Bryant certainly couldn't compete with Wang Junbi again.
In the words of Japanese secondary disease fans, this is like Genji Takiya challenging Megumi Hayashida in the movie "Hot Blooded High School". Kobe Bryant has been dragging in the playoffs, defeating many opponents, and finally at the end, he was knocked out with two punches to the boss...... Instantly return to the pre-liberation period.
After being interviewed, Wang Jun also met Director Zhang of the Basketball Association. During the meal, the other party kept laughing, and Wang Jun didn't say anything to embarrass him, just as if nothing had happened.
In the 2008 Stankovic Cup basketball tournament was played in Hangzhou, Wang Jun and Yao Mingming both played and trained locally.
Wang Junben was optimistic about the Olympics, but he was a little disappointed after one day of joint training, and the overall strength of the team was still too poor.
When training alone, he asked Yi Jianlian: "How are you doing with your three-point training?" You've been practicing, right? ”
"I've practiced." Yi Jianlian nodded honestly.
"Then you can vote for me for a while, right?" Wang Jun said expectantly. This is related to whether the Chinese team can open up the inside space, as long as his three points are as accurate as Wang Zhizhi, the game will be much easier.
As a result, Yi Jianlian shot iron in various positions, mid-range shooting was okay, and the three-point shot was unreliable, so it could not be used as a conventional weapon at all.
Yi Jianlian was also a little embarrassed for a while, walked up to Wang Jun, and lowered his head like a child who had made a mistake and begged for correction.
Wang Jun was stunned for a while, and said with a wry smile: "I can't seem to correct anything." ”
"Uh......"
Wang Jun continued: "Shooting can't be done quickly, your practice here reminds me of a movie." ”
"What movie?" Yi Jianlian asked.
"Ouchi's Secret Agent Zero Shots." Wang Jun said and posed, and stabbed his right hand into the sky with a sword. "Your Majesty, this move is a flying immortal outside the sky."
"......" Yi Jianlian covered his face with one hand, he knew that the next line of the movie was "He's playing with you, Your Majesty." ”
Sure enough, did my three-point shooting suck?
Yi Jianlian and Wang Jun are three points apart, it's really the same as not practicing, he can only take his time.
Wang Jun's shooting rate didn't grow much, and he shot more than 80% of 100 shots in training, and his condition was 90%, but his range became farther.
He dared to shoot two meters outside the three-point line, and he could still enter, and the national team guards who watched it were stunned. They are used to the CBA's three-point line, which is shorter than the NBA, and the international three-point line is too short for Wang Jun.
After a few days of practice, Wang Jun felt that these teammates had not improved much compared to 2006, and he was more worried about the future of the competition.
The list of the Dream Eight team has been released, a group of big-name stars, the lineup is quite reasonable, no matter how you look at it, the Chinese team doesn't look like it can win.
Wang Jun's difficulty in winning the NBA championship is much smaller than this, even if he plays the Celtics, he only faces three stars, this time he is facing a group, and he is no worse than those three in terms of personal ability.
What made him even more depressed was that before the Stankovic Cup, there was a little unpleasantness in the team, and some players did not train very hard.
During a training session, Younas scolded a player for his mistakes, feeling that he was not concentrating enough.
Younas looked at his lazy appearance and became angry, and sarcastically said, "Can you practice a little worse?" I'm going to kick you out of the national team. ”
It's just that there is a problem with this thing's attitude, and he actually pretended to be B with the coach, turned his head and left in front of everyone, claiming that he was going to quit training.
Then Yao Ming roared behind him: "If you dare to walk out of this door now, I will make it impossible for you to beat the Beijing Olympics!" ”
So he didn't dare to be angry anymore, and returned to the field to continue practicing with a black face.
Wang Jun didn't say a word next to him, just like when he was training for the World Championships, he didn't bother to open his mouth when he saw this kind of thing. Although he is famous, he is not familiar with his teammates in the national team, and Yao Ming has more prestige and qualifications.
He drew an X for this teammate in his heart, no matter how good his physical fitness is, just like this lazy and lazy appearance, he will definitely be scrapped in the future. Poor shooting, playing CBA may be able to be a role player by relying on your body, playing NBA is a dream, and you may not be able to brush up the data when you go to the NBDL.
In the Stankovic Cup, Wang Jun and Yao Ming performed very well and played long enough, winning all three games at home, easily defeating Serbia, Angola, and Russia, and winning the championship.
Wang Jun, Yao Ming, and Yi Jianlian were selected for the best team of the Si Cup, but the opponent was too weak and there was nothing to be proud of.
The media hyped up this small championship, which attracted unanimous applause from fans, and vowed not to give up if the men's basketball team was not held to the sky, which was purely to put pressure on the team, and not winning the championship was a failure.
Wang Jun was very low-key in the interview. "We are not the strongest team in the squad, it is not easy to play against Dream 8, of course it is best to win the championship at home, and I can accept it if we lose, provided that everyone does their best."
After training, Wang Jun is not optimistic, the core is still those in 2006, the newly selected youngsters have no data in the CBA, and the experience in international competitions is poor, and they can't be counted on only by physical fitness.
How far the Chinese team goes depends on what level the NBA Trident can play.
