David Bentno took a mid-range shot over Dan Marley, but still missed.
Lao Wang grabbed the rebound and the Suns attacked.
"Everyone's defense is very strong today, and their outside touch is not very good. They haven't scored yet!" Letem said.
"Now that the Suns are attacking, Old K should launch a strong attack." Dort said.
Perry pushed the ball across the center line and immediately handed it to Drexler, shifting the point guard's responsibilities.
When Glider got the ball, the Jazz did not switch defense. Although Jeff Hornacek's defense was good, he was not tall enough. He was only 191 centimeters tall and could not guard against the 201 centimeter Glider. Small forward David Benoit was still the one to defend.
Benoit is an undrafted player, a standard basketball leader, with mediocre offense and defense. How can he guard against a glider who still has superstar strength?
With a tentative step, Drexler directly broke through his opponent. When he reached the waist position in the paint area, Donaldson came up to cover the defense, and he immediately threw the ball towards the basket.
"Bang!"
Lao Wang flew up, grabbed the ball with one hand, and smashed it forward, causing water to splash into the Jazz's basket.
The postman who was pulled out of the paint area by Green quickly returned to defend the basket, already a step too slow.
"Finally a goal." Dot smiled.
"Yeah, I'm relieved for the Jazz and Suns." Letem joked.
Dort shook his head and said with a smile: "It's impossible to defend Old K with a veteran like Donaldson. His defense speed is also not good. He can't come back when he reaches the edge of the paint area."
The Jazz attacked, Jeff Hornacek and Postman made a pick-and-roll and hit a mid-range shot.
But looking back, Drexler made a fake shot and broke through Benoit again.
This time, Donaldson didn't come out to cover up the defense, so he stayed at the basket. The glider passed the ball to Lao Wang in the low post on the left wing.
Lao Wang took the ball, took a step into the paint area, then suddenly jumped up, facing the 135 kilogram Donaldson, and flew up.
Donaldson was old and heavy and couldn't jump at all. When Lao Wang jumped, he instantly formed a dive, and the two of them collided with each other instantly.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Amidst the heavy impact of his body, Donaldson groaned and fell down. At the same time, the Jazz's basket was exploded again.
"Oh oh oh..."
In the somewhat silent Delta State Arena, only the cheers from the Suns bench were left.
"Oh ho, you did a great job! A dive bombing, the old K at that moment was the incarnation of b2." Dot roared excitedly.
Leitem also roared with great excitement: "In the most intense aerial confrontation, veteran Donaldson fell! He couldn't stand up! Once again, the old K hit his opponent in the cruelest way.
He is telling everyone in the cruelest way: Don't try to fight me, anyone who dares to fight me will be completely destroyed by me, directly destroyed physically!"
"Damn it!"
On the sidelines, Jazz coach Jerry Sloan shook his fist angrily, and then looked back at the bench helplessly.
Donaldson was injured. After the last time Old K injured Spencer, causing him to be retired for the season, this time he injured one of his backup centers. How on earth can we guard against that damn Old K?
Do you really want the postman to guard against Old K?
The conflict between the postman and Old K was too great. He was very afraid of causing a conflict on the court, and was also worried that the postman would not be able to withstand the terror of Old K. If the postman was seriously injured like Spencer, the Jazz would be completely doomed.
"Forget it, there's no competition with the Suns anyway. We just need to maintain this momentum and get into the top three. Let's give up this time. We can't fight them head-on. It's not cost-effective."
After thinking about it, Jerry Sloan chose to give up.
This is also a helpless move. Both centers were injured at the hands of Old K and were reimbursed for the previous season. The veteran Donaldson still doesn’t know the extent of his injury. He has no one available at all. The trading window was closed yesterday. If it happens again
He was injured by Old K and couldn't play in the playoffs, so he had no choice but to give up.
So, in this back-to-back game, the Suns successfully won this game,
This was an unexpected surprise. Originally, the Suns didn't plan to go all out, but the Jazz surrendered themselves.
In this way, before the All-Star Game, the Suns completed 48 regular season games with 35 wins and 13 losses, temporarily maintaining the first place in the Western Conference.
However, both Mosaic and Spurs won one after another, and the advantage was still limited. There was only a difference between half a win and one win.
At noon on the 9th, the Suns returned to Phoenix.
Starting from this day, the NBA league has also entered its annual All-Star Weekend.
A large number of stars began to come to Phoenix, some active and some retired.
In addition, many Hollywood stars and fashion models have also begun to appear in the City of the Sun.
The All-Star voting was huge this time, which symbolizes the popularity of the NBA. There are also many stars from all walks of life. For the first time, Phoenix has a star-studded scene.
A large number of media reporters from all over the world rushed here to chase celebrities from all walks of life.
Yu Feihong also flew over and will spend a week here.
The martial arts gym is ready, and there is no grand opening ceremony, because Lao Wang does not plan to make the martial arts gym big. His original intention is to complete the mission.
On the night of the 9th, Lao Wang and Kevin Johnson made an appointment to visit Danny Manning, who had just undergone surgery.
Dr. Carter's skills were very good and the operation was very successful, but no one who has undergone two major knee operations can return to the game, so even if the operation was successful, Danny Manning was still in a very bad mood.
On the 10th, Wang Tiejun’s martial arts gym officially opened.
The name of the martial arts gym is K Martial Arts Hall. The symbol K is simple and easy to remember, and it can also make his nickname popular.
Although there was no big event, there were still many guests invited. From the Suns' management to the coaching staff, all the players came, dozens of people.
There are also some business people from Phoenix and Arizona, as well as all his sponsors, including brands such as Mammoth and Mercedes-Benz.
In addition, some politicians were invited, including three state legislators, who have a good relationship with him and often appear at the American West Arena. Even the mayor of Phoenix showed up and personally sent congratulations to Lao Wang.
His influence in this state is now very good, and he can help them win a lot of votes with just one sentence.
If he is an American and plans to enter politics after he retires, he will have a very good vote base in Arizona and Phoenix.
There are also some Hollywood stars, some invited by themselves, most of them invited by Hawksman.
"hiss!"
Lao Wang clenched his teeth and was pinched in the waist by Sister Feihong.
Yu Feihong, whose expression did not change, whispered: "Old K, what do you want to do by inviting them here?"
"I didn't invite him. Hawksman sent invitation text messages to all Hollywood stars under CAA in Phoenix. They came on their own. I really didn't contact them." Lao Wang explained in a low voice.
"Group sending?" Yu Feihong rolled his eyes.
"Hey, old K..."
Julia Roberts walked over generously, stretched out her hand and said with a smile: "Congratulations, you just made me $100,000."
"Haha...Julia, what are you doing in V? What I'm suitable for here is mainly athletes. The service projects will have no effect on you?" he said.
"Are you asking me to come empty-handed? By the way, you have to come to the premiere of my new film." Roberts smiled.
"Of course, you give me a call then."
Lao Wang nodded and smiled: "Julia, I will have a medicinal bath service here in the future. You can try it in the future. It will make your body healthier."
"Oh, I'll give it a try then." Roberts smiled.
Lao Wang quickly introduced Yu Feihong again and said: "Julia, this is my girlfriend Yu Feihong. She is in the same industry as you. There is a film and television company in our country. If you have the opportunity, you can cooperate and she can invest in your new film.
"
Yu Feihong paused, "Well, my film and television company still only exists in my thoughts, without even a word of luck, and you're here to brag about it to me?"
"certainly."
Roberts nodded, smiled and shook hands with Yu Feihong.
"Old K, you have good taste. She is very elegant and beautiful." After praising her, she walked away.
"Hey, old K, is this your new girlfriend?"
Winona Ryder came over, glanced at Yu Feihong, and said angrily: "I'm here to support you, but I have to pay a 100,000 admission fee. What kind of breaking of the rules is this?"
"Oh, yes, this is Yu Feihong, my girlfriend."
Under the gaze of Yu Feihong, Lao Wang made a formal introduction, and then explained: "Weinona, there must be a mistake in the membership fee. The services I offer here are indeed not suitable for you."
"That fat guy said, you have to pay if you want to come in." Rhett pointed at Buckley, who had just paid the money and was walking over.
Buckley was stunned. Did I say that? You have to pay for services. You are an actor. With your understanding, how can you read the script?
"Okay, Winona, I'll arrange for someone to return it to you right away. I'm very sorry." Lao Wang quickly made amends.
"That's not necessary, it's my gift." Rhett shook his head.
After finally fooling the difficult-to-leave Red, the old Wang's back was already covered in sweat on a February day.
At this time, a tall, fat, black man appeared outside the iron gate and was blocked by Da Meng, who was paying money at the door.
"Hakeem, what are you doing?" O'Neill asked curiously.
"Pay the money to join."
Dameng glanced at Fatty, raised the card, and said to O'Neal: "With this, you will never get stuck by a fish bone again."
"..."
O'Neal looked dull, looking at Da Meng like an idiot. I don't eat fish with bones, so I will never get stuck with fish bones.
The front desk lady is a black lady who is very eloquent and has a very positive work attitude. She just fooled several guests into paying money. Now when she saw O'Neal, her eyes immediately lit up and she asked enthusiastically: "Mr. O'Neal, do you want to join the membership?"
The membership fee is 30,000 US dollars, and there is a discount of 10,000 US dollars for three years. It only costs 100,000 US dollars. The service..."
"Thirty thousand a year, one hundred thousand in three years, you can really save ten thousand!"
O'Neal was a little tempted. He would be a bastard if he didn't take advantage of me, but it was still a little expensive. I couldn't let Old K take advantage of me.
At ten o'clock, the lion dance started.
This is a lion dance team specially invited from Chinatown in Los Angeles. There are not many Chinese people in Phoenix, and there are not many international students, so there is no lion dance team.
At 10:18, Lao Wang dotted the lion's eyes with a red pen, then pulled off the red cloth covering the signboard, and blew up a few firecrackers outside, thus completing the opening ceremony.
Next comes free time. This place has become a social place. A buffet is also arranged for noon, so you can stay here until the afternoon.
He found a moment to look at the system and saw that the task was completed. The reward was that the scope of application of the two prescriptions was extended to everyone, and another 300 points were given.
"You only get 300 points for starting a second career?"
He complained secretly and opened the prompt given by the system.
"Inform the host that the two prescriptions are adjusted by this system according to the host's physique. They have the greatest effect on the host. The effect on others will not exceed 50% of the host's effect at most."
"The maximum effect is only 50%, so the price cannot be set high."
After repeated consideration, he set the price for the medicinal bath.
Medicated bathing is simple, just send the medicine package, and the client can do it by himself, and it costs one thousand dollars a time. Medicated oil massage is very troublesome, and the price is more expensive, at three thousand dollars, and the extra is labor cost.
He took the time to go to the front desk and ask about the finances. More than a hundred guests and members received a total of US$5.53 million in membership fees.
He took a look at the list and saw that there were many CAA Hollywood stars who came to support him and they were quite generous. All his sponsors, including some from the business and political circles, were among them.
"Oh my god, my salary this season is only 2.36 million, this business is great!" He couldn't help but sigh.
The guests he invited were all rich people, either businessmen or celebrities. Even the politicians were rich people. Don't play politics in the United States if you don't have money. It was actually not surprising to receive these admission fees. Hawksman had already given them
He analyzed it.
But the martial arts studio still needs to recruit people, at least ten people, to specialize in massage.
As for the medicated oil, he plans to have it done in his hometown and then bring it over. The domestic wage level is still quite low, which can save a lot of costs.
"How much did you charge?"
Yu Feihong felt something was wrong when he saw Lao Wang's appearance, so he came over and asked quietly.
"Not much, just over five million US dollars," he said.
Brother Fei's eyes twitched, this isn't much? It's already 40 million yuan.
The highest box office of domestic movies in 1993 was the imported Hollywood blockbuster "The Fugitive", which was only 25.8 million yuan. The highest box office in 1994 was 103 million yuan for "True Lies". Chenglong's blockbuster "" was just released last month.
"Red Zone" is so popular in China, and the box office is estimated to be only 30 to 40 million yuan. How much money can you make from the entrance fee of your martial arts gym?
Lao Wang looked at Yu Feihong's look and quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, you won't lose money. I have charging projects later. If I run it well, it's not a problem to make millions of dollars a year. If the results are good, I can make more."
.”
Yu Feihong rolled his eyes at Lao Wang, "Am I worried that you will lose money? I am worried that you will deceive others."
But to be honest, she was really afraid that Lao Wang would lose money, because she knew Lao Wang, this guy was uneducated, had a technical secondary school education, and was only in elementary school. His brain was not very good, and he would suffer big losses if he invested randomly.
But she also had to admire Lao Wang's luck. Finding a basketball agent was actually favored by CAA. Look at the group of Hollywood stars who came to support her. She just noticed it.
The next day, Liu Changjiang and Wang Tieshu flew to Los Angeles and went to Chinatown to purchase the required medicinal materials.
There was also a finance lady with me. The finance lady was a Peking University graduate student who immigrated from China a few years ago and also worked as a translator.
As for the martial arts gym's business, at Yu Feihong's suggestion, a most professional salesman has been hired to solicit business for the martial arts gym, such as schools and police stations, which are all potential business targets.
On this day, the NBA All-Star Weekend officially begins.
On the evening of the 12th, the three-point contest and rookie challenge were held one after another.
In the three-point contest, Glenn Rice took first place with 17 points.
On the night of the 13th, the All-Star Game begins.
Eastern All-Star starters: O'Neal, Hill, Pippen, Jordan, Anfernee Hardaway
Eastern All-Star Head Coach: Brian Hill (Magic Head Coach)
Western Conference All-Star starters: Wang Tiejun, Barkley, Shawn Kemp, Sprewell, Tim Hardaway
Western Conference All-Star Head Coach: Paul Westphal (Suns Head Coach)
The head coach is the head coach of the team with the best record in the East and West. However, last year's Eastern All-Star head coach was Bulls head coach Phil Jackson. He cannot be re-elected this year, so this season, the head coach of the Magic team, which has the second best record in the Eastern Conference, will be the head coach.
.
The Western Conference All-Star locker room is the home team locker room of the Suns. At this time, all the Western Conference All-Stars are changing clothes inside, and other staff are on top.
The names of the former Suns players have been replaced by the names of these All-Stars, each with a wardrobe.
Generally speaking, the closet closest to the door of the locker room is the best location and the most convenient for entry and exit. The leader of the team is in this position.
However, Lao Wang’s wardrobe is the second one. The first one is Kevin Johnson. The Lightning’s seniority in the Suns far exceeds his. Now that the Lightning is old, he will not fight for this thing.
When he first joined the Suns, the second closet belonged to Barkley. After Barkley left, he took up the space left by Barkley.
But today he didn't fight for the first wardrobe, giving it to Barkley as a sign of respect.
The two of them were sitting together now, changing their clothes, and chatting about services.
