Chapter 249 Second Occupation: Opening a Martial Arts Hall
Time entered December, and on the morning of the 1st, before the Suns had even left their Chicago hotel, the league announced some honors and rankings for November.
In a restaurant in the hotel, the Suns team was having breakfast together.
Lao Wang didn't touch the food, but grabbed a few newspapers and opened them.
"Old K, look here, look here, you are the Player of the Month for November." Kevin Johnson on the right handed a Chicago Sports newspaper to him.
"Really?"
He quickly grabbed it and took a look. It was really true and he couldn't help laughing.
This is the first time he has won the honor of Player of the Month. In the previous two seasons, he only won the Player of the Week twice last season.
This kind of player of the month honor is also a rare honor. Jordan is so good, but he has only won the best player 12 times in ten seasons.
Dameng is also that strong, only 5 times, Ewing only 4 times, David Robinson only 2 times, and O'Neal is at his peak since his debut, only 2 times.
He looked at his statistics in November and found that he averaged 36 minutes per game, 30.1 points, 14.8 rebounds, 5.1 assists, 0.8 steals, 3.1 blocks, 2.1 turnovers and 3.8 fouls.
The scoring has dropped, firstly because playing time has decreased, and secondly because after Drexler joined, he took relatively fewer shots and distributed the ball more.
Moreover, the offensive ability of the team's main lineup is too strong, and his average points per game may continue to decline in the future.
However, the points, rebounds, and assists are a bit higher than O'Neal. O'Neal averaged 29.5 points, 11.8 rebounds, 2.7 assists, 0.9 steals, 2.4 blocks, 2.6 turnovers and 3.3 fouls per game.
He recalled O'Neal's statistics last season. This guy's scoring was about the same as last season, but his rebounds and blocks were reduced. It was obvious that after gaining weight, his mobility had declined, and his physical energy consumption had also increased, which reduced his ability to defend.
Focus on finishing and rebounding.
He opened the system and took a look. The best of the month actually received a reward of 500 points, and now he has 900 points. This is not bad, but the best of the week has no reward.
"Old K, congratulations, the mvp ranking continues to be No. 1." At this time, assistant coach Lewis said.
"Yeah?"
This news is even better, Lao Wang is very happy.
Kevin Johnson looked at Jordan's data and said: "His average points per game have also dropped a bit, but his points and assists are about the same as yours, but his rebounds are quite different. He doesn't block as many shots as you, but he steals more than you.
Your data is actually about the same. Old K, your advantage is not too great, don’t let him surpass you."
Danny Ainge smiled and said: "Jordan has won several MVPs. Both the league and the media should be tired of aesthetics and hope that new choices will emerge, so as long as our record is not bad, K's personal data is not bad.
, maybe I won’t give it to him this time, but Lao K still has a chance.”
At this time, Bulls general manager Krause was contacting the Spurs and wanted to trade the spendthrift Rodman, but the Spurs directly rejected him.
The Spurs are in better shape now than at the beginning of the season. Although Rodman is still dissatisfied with David Robinson, how could they trade him at this time and harm their own strength? If the Spurs advance to the finals and face the Bulls who have been reinforced by themselves, they will have to
Like the Suns last season?
Klaus, who was rejected, had no choice. He actually wanted to trade Da Chong. He participated in the trade when Da Chong left the Pistons last season, but failed.
If the Bulls can come to the Bulls, they can increase the rebounding ability and interior defense that the Bulls currently lack most. At the same time, Toni Kukoc will go to the substitute lineup, and the main lineup and the substitute lineup will be strengthened at the same time.
Unfortunately, it still failed. After notifying Jordan, Jordan yelled at him again.
At noon on the 1st, the Suns' special plane flew to Boston.
On the second day, the Suns defeated the Celtics and did not let the losing streak appear.
However, in the back-to-back games on the 3rd, the Suns, who were physically weak and had a seriously untidy lineup, lost to the rebuilding Pistons and suffered their second loss of the season.
In this game, due to the lack of players on the back line, Kevin Johnson played too many consecutive minutes. Due to excessive fatigue, the old knee injury recurred. He was injured in the third quarter and left the Suns' rotation.
There are eight people, and there is a serious shortage of defenders.
Backup point guard Perry has been infected with the flu, and now the main point guard is injured again. The Suns have lost both pure point guards and can only use shooting guards to replace them. The rookie shooting guard Wesley Parsons in 1994.
Taking the main position at No. 1.
Fortunately, the schedule is strong, and it seems to have been deliberately arranged. The next game is on the 8th, with a few days of rest in between, giving the Suns a chance to breathe. The four Phoenix players have almost recovered, and they can get rid of bad injuries.
ease.
The next game is an away game against the Nets, but the Suns decided to return to Phoenix first and then fly to New Jersey on the 7th.
At two o'clock in the afternoon on December 4, 1994, the team returned to Phoenix.
Lao Wang asked Liu Changfeng and his wife to come over for dinner, and they came over at three o'clock.
Liu Changfeng's daughter-in-law, Tian Xiaofen, only went to elementary school and doesn't speak English. She hasn't learned a few words since she came here. She is not used to the life here. She usually doesn't go out and has little communication with outsiders.
When Lao Wang was at home, because Liu Changfeng wanted to give him a massage, he would usually ask Tian Xiaofen to come over to eat and walk around.
"Bang bang bang..."
He practiced Tieshan Kou in the yard for a while. It was already difficult to improve this boxing style, that is, to maintain it.
The state of proficiency refers to the power, skills, etc. of this boxing style. It does not mean that his explosive power has also reached the state of proficiency.
Explosive power is physical talent, muscle endurance, muscle speed and other strength qualities, joint ligament structure, nerve reaction speed and other physical qualities are included. Explosive power can indeed be improved by relying on training, but there is a ceiling above it. If you want to reach the first-class or even above level,
You have to rely on talent.
Especially for a person of his height and physique, it is difficult to have someone with O'Neal's explosive talent in an era. In the past few decades, the NBA has only produced monsters like O'Neal.
After practicing Tieshankuo, when Liu Changfeng was giving him a medicated oil massage, the system screen suddenly popped up.
"Task?"
He was shocked. Was the system insane? It actually knew how to issue tasks? He thought the system had lost this function.
"Please host to start a second career. The mission lasts for one hundred days. The mission rewards, medicated baths and medicated oils can only be used by others."
But when he took a closer look, he asked, "What kind of task is this? I play basketball every day, how can I have the energy to pursue a second career?"
But what is this reward?
"System, won't these two prescriptions work for others now?" he asked quickly.
"Yes." The system said.
"I x, I don't know yet. Fortunately, I haven't used it for others."
He has never given these two things to others for use, only for his own use, so he does not understand this restriction.
"System, this is your mission. My second profession is martial arts. Do you want me to work part-time as a martial artist?" He quickly asked in his mind.
"As long as it has something to do with martial arts." the system responded.
"Something to do with martial arts?"
His mind started to move. If he didn't make a martial arts movie, doing martial arts would be regarded as related to martial arts.
But now in the season, there is no time. The season has not been completed within the 100-day deadline.
"Tie Jun, Xiaofen has nothing to do at home. I bought her some DVDs of Li Lianjie. They were all taken by him in the past two years. They are all very good. Do you want to see them? I brought the DVDs over." At this time, Liu Changfeng
said.
"What kind of movies are they?" he asked casually.
"The Fifth Patriarch of New Shaolin, Zhongnanhai Bodyguard, Tai Chi Zhang Sanfeng, and some Iron Rooster from Huang Feihong, they are all very good-looking anyway." Liu Changfeng said with a smile.
"Li Lianjie?"
Lao Wang murmured, he knew that this guy had settled in the United States for two years, opened a martial arts gym, and then got divorced after meeting his true love.
After chanting for a few times, suddenly an idea flashed in my mind, and two words came out of my mouth: "Martial arts gym?"
"Martial arts gym? Tiejun, do you want to open a martial arts gym?" Liu Changfeng was startled.
Lao Wang was startled and said quickly: "That's right, I want to open a martial arts gym and be the director myself."
What he originally wanted was to find a martial arts gym and earn a living as a coach, just to fool the system, but apparently Liu Changfeng said that opening a martial arts gym would be better and more convenient.
"That's good. There are so many martial arts gyms in my hometown. With your reputation as the king of martial arts, you can afford to open a martial arts gym. But don't you want to play basketball? There are too many martial arts gyms in my hometown. It's not profitable to open a martial arts gym in my hometown.
"Yes." Liu Changfeng said.
"Then open it in the United States and find a group of people to help." Lao Wang said.
"Open a martial arts gym here? Is there anyone who can learn from it?" Liu Changfeng was startled.
"Whatever, I just run the business, I don't care whether the business is good or not." Lao Wang said with a smile.
Liu Changfeng thought for a while and asked: "As for the Tiejun, can you ask Changlong Yangjiang to come over and help? They are all very skilled and have practiced their unique skills."
"Okay, what's wrong with that?" He smiled.
Liu Changlong and Liu Changjiang are the second and third younger brothers of Liu Changfeng. Changlong is two years older than him and Changjiang is one year younger than him. They are both working in Fengshen Street now. It is said that father and son are fighting, and brothers are fighting. He wants to open a martial arts gym and find a few
Of course brothers are better.
As for unique skills, which are skills that can easily injure people to the point of disability, or even kill them, they are definitely required. If you don’t have unique skills, how can you deal with opening a martial arts gym and having people come knocking on your door?
This kind of Kung Fu in Chuan Wu, the training methods are mostly simple, not good-looking, and cannot be used in martial arts competitions, but it takes ten years to practice that one move day by day, but it is useless after it is practiced, and you can't eat or drink.
.
He didn't practice any special skills. He was selected to play basketball when he was in junior high school. If he didn't play basketball, he still had to practice.
After the massage, Tian Xiaofen had already made dinner. After the three of them had eaten, they watched Li Lianjie's DVD. At seven o'clock in the evening, it was morning over there in China. Wang Tiejun made a phone call at home and asked his father to contact a few people for him.
.
There are thousands of members of the Wang family in Qingxian County, but there are not many in their family. His father is the only one in his family. The others have been lost. Some of the people who are close to him have not left the fifth server.
My cousins, you can pick some good guys to come over.
"When you open a martial arts gym, you have to pick someone with good skills. If someone wants to run the gym, you have to have someone who can take over. You have to pick a few people who know one or two unique skills."
Wang Aiguo wasn't too surprised when he heard this. After all, being in a martial arts school is so common in Cangzhou, and it's no more rare than opening a noodle shop. As long as you have the ability to support it, it will be fine.
"Dad, it's up to you to make the decision. First, choose from the brothers who are close to the Wang family. My uncle, the elder brother Long Changjiang, asked them to come over, and then choose three more people." He said.
"Well, when will we leave?" Wang Aiguo asked.
"You should hurry up. After you have chosen them, you still need to apply for passports and visas for them. By the way, do you and mom want to come to the United States for fun?" he asked.
"Don't worry about choosing someone, it will be done soon. Your mother and I are not going to the United States. We have time to go to Fengshen Street to stay for two days. It will be more practical to help you look over there." Wang Aiguo said.
At this time, Sister Liu took the phone and asked: "Son, how is the matter between you and Feihong?"
He said: "She and I are both very busy, we are far apart, and we don't usually see each other, so we just make phone calls. In the end, I don't know what will happen."
"We can't even see each other in the United States?" Sister Liu was a little disappointed. She also wanted to hold her grandson as soon as possible.
"Didn't my son say that the United States is not smaller than our country?" Wang Aiguo interjected.
Sister Liu said disappointedly: "Your two sisters only focus on studying and are not looking for a partner. You are the same. When can I have a grandson? The little Jiu'er next door has become an aunt twice, so you are really worried!"
"Mom, please hurry up the eldest and second sisters. I'm still young, so there's no rush." He said quickly.
"They asked me to urge you. You are all grown up now and are disobedient. Alas!" Sister Liu sighed.
"..."
Lao Wang was speechless, eldest sister and second sister, I feel sorry for you, why are you digging a hole for me at my mother's place?
"How about you go play ball at the place where Feihong is studying?" Wang Aiguo suggested.
"That won't work, at least not now. My contract here hasn't been completed yet, and the boss here treats me well. I can't just leave, can I?" he said.
"That's true." Wang Aiguo sighed.
After chatting for a few more words, he quickly hung up the phone.
"Tie Jun, what's the matter between you and Yu Feihong?" Liu Changfeng asked with concern.
"I don't know. If she chooses to return to China in the future, I guess it will be the end of us both." He shook his head.
"You can't let her stay here?" Liu Changfeng said.
"Let's talk about it later," he said.
At home, Wang Aiguo put down the phone, and then he and Liu Damei worked together to find some kind of helpers for their son.
He frowned and said: "Sister, it's not profitable to open a martial arts gym. Do you think your son suddenly wants to open a martial arts gym? Did he encounter any difficulties in the United States?"
"Then what should we do? There is no one around him..." Sister Liu became anxious upon hearing this.
Wang Aiguo thought for a while and said, "It shouldn't be too urgent. Let's quickly pick someone and send them over."
Liu Damei said: "I heard from my son that life is not peaceful over there. Every family has a gun for hunting and killing. How about picking three of the brothers from the Iron Army who have served as soldiers?"
Upon hearing this, Wang Aiguo quickly nodded in agreement. Many of the Wang family's descendants who had practiced martial arts had served as soldiers, and many had fought in self-defense and counterattacks against Vietnam, and several had died.
Sister Liu added: "It is best not to have a family. If there are two in the family, if something happens, the roots will not be broken."
"Hey, let's do it like this." Wang Aiguo nodded.
The next day, I received a notice from the team that Kevin Johnson's knee injury was serious. Dr. Carter recommended conservative treatment. The recovery time would take at least three months, and he would probably be able to return before the playoffs.
"What?"
This news gave Lao Wang a blow to the head.
Without the Lightning at the first position, the Suns' organizational ability will be reduced by half, fast break tactics and breakthrough tactics will also be affected, and their outside scoring ability will also be affected. How will they play in the regular season? He is a center without outside support.
, is simply impossible.
He immediately drove to Dr. Carter's private clinic and visited Kevin Johnson, who was still there.
"Old K, I'm sorry, you have to rely on yourself for the rest of the regular season. I will help you when I come back." Kevin Johnson said regretfully.
"It's okay, you should still worry about losing your main position when you come back." Lao Wang said with a smile.
Kevin Johnson smiled bitterly and said: "I hope someone will take my position now, but unfortunately, no one on the team has that ability."
Lao Wang also nodded in frustration.
After a while, other Suns players also came over, as did the coaching staff, and everyone talked about the future schedule.
Generally speaking, without Kevin Johnson, it is certain that the Suns will reach the playoffs, but they should try to stay in the top half, so that they will have some advantages after entering the playoffs and will not encounter strong teams in the first round.
.
After a few days, several guys who had the flu recovered. The Suns' injury spree was finally over, and at least the rotation of the lineup was no longer a problem.
On the morning of the 7th, when he was preparing his luggage, he received a call from home. His father told him that the people had been selected for him. According to him, there were five people in total, and they were all unmarried and unconcerned.
There are at least two brothers in the family. Except for Liu Changlong and Liu Changjiang, the other three are his cousins. They have practiced martial arts since childhood and have been soldiers and seen blood.
Lao Wang is speechless, do you always think this is a war? When did I say these conditions?
Wang Aiguo said over there: "Tielong, Tieshu, and Tieshan, there are just three of them. I heard that you wanted someone over there, and they agreed without saying a word. They have been back in the past two days. Son, what are the procedures for you over there?
When will it be done?"
"Quickly, let them wait." He said quickly.
These three people are all cousins passed down from his uncles and great-grandfathers. They have not been out of the fifth server and usually move around.
Wang Aiguo added: "I have already explained to them that each of them has paid 30,000 yuan in settling-in expenses. When I go out, I will risk my life to do things for you and help you block bullets."
"Dad, I just want to open a martial arts gym. It's a serious matter. It's a serious matter." Lao Wang started to wipe his sweat. Is the old man thinking wrong?
Wang Aiguo said: "I know, but it's not easy for people to live outside. Who knows what will happen? You can leave everything to them.
Son, last year there were several large-scale clan fighting in Xiguang and Nanhu. Thousands of people participated each time. I heard that a lot of artillery was used and there were many casualties. If anything goes wrong, you still have to rely on your brothers. Are you outside?
You have to have a few brothers around you. There is strength in numbers, so maybe I can pick a few more and send them over to you?"
"No, no, no, we'll talk about it later, we'll talk about it later." Lao Wang quickly refused.
There was still time for the 12 o'clock flight, and it was almost time for the government to go to work. He put down the phone and drove to the city hall to apply for a license.
When he came to the city hall, he immediately received special attention due to his reputation here, and the license was quickly processed.
During this period, some media reporters took photos of him, and the news that he was going to open a martial arts gym was ignored.
After obtaining the license, I went to the tax bureau to register for tax and completed the procedures before departure.
After completing these procedures, he can issue job invitations to five people in the country and let them apply for work visas to come to the United States.
