At around 8 o'clock in the evening, the Sonics and their team arrived in Philadelphia and successfully checked into the hotel they had booked in advance.
Yang Jian was assigned a comfortable single room with a TV and a large bed that could sleep two people.
Tonight is free time. There will be no training for the players tomorrow so they can sleep in. A few of them went to have dinner together, and Kemp went out to play, probably visiting a nightclub in Philadelphia.
While Yang Jian was waiting for Barrymore in the room, he developed a strong desire to make money. When he was single, it didn't matter if he got a basic salary, but with a girlfriend, the little money would not be enough. In the future, he would become a super rich man and planned to buy private jets and yachts.
To make traveling more convenient.
These are a bit far away, so he first sets a small goal for himself and gets his driver's license.
Barrymore's flight was more than an hour later than the Sonics' special plane. After receiving a call from Yang Jian, she took a taxi to the hotel where the Sonics were staying. She traveled lightly and slept all the way, but she still looked very energetic.
Barrymore said he was not tired and was willing to go out, so the two went to taste Philadelphia's specialties. At a restaurant not far from the hotel, they ate cheesesteaks, beef cheeseburgers, vegetable salads and gelati ice cream.
After the meal, Barrymore suggested going to a movie. They went to a nearby cinema like an ordinary couple and chose the comedy movie "Planet 2" that had just been released.
Ace Ventura, the pet detective played by Jim Carrey, was invited to the African continent to help find the white bat, the "sacred object" of the indigenous tribe, to prevent the two tribes from starting a war. Some of the plots were very exaggerated, and it was Jim Carrey's unique psychotic performance.
style.
Yang Jian has watched this movie many times and is still amused by some of the plots. Barrymore, who watched this movie for the first time, laughed almost the whole time, and the theater was filled with laughter.
Jim Carrey used a mechanical rhinoceros to observe the suspect, but the machine malfunctioned, and then there was a famous and magical scene. The rhinoceros gave birth to a baby and a naked boy was born. The scene was so beautiful that it frightened passers-by.
Everyone in the movie theater was laughing their heads off, and Barrymore was no exception.
The following plot allowed the audience to take a breath. Yang Jian asked in a low voice: "You have worked with Jim Carrey. Is he such a neurotic person in reality?"
"No, he is quite quiet off-screen and not very talkative. I think he just deliberately performs this way. He is a real genius. I have seen him imitate other celebrities and control his facial muscles as if he can change his face.
.”
1994 was Jim Carrey's breakout year, and it was also a magical year in the history of Hollywood movies, with many classic films released.
Jim Carrey's "The Man in Disguise" grossed US$23 million at the box office in its first week, causing his salary to soar from US$350,000 to US$7 million. In the same year, his nonsensical comedy "Dumb and Dumber" earned a global revenue of US$237 million.
box office, is a masterpiece of low-brow comedy.
Barrymore and Jim Carrey collaborated in "Batman Forever". Jim Carrey played the villain Riddler, and Barrymore played his assistant, a vase.
Jim Carrey has successfully made the whole world laugh, but he doesn't know how to make himself laugh. When asked where his comedy talent came from, he replied, "From despair." In a parallel world, he later suffered from depression and faded out of the film industry.
After watching the movie, Barrymore and Yang Jian returned to the hotel room, took off their coats and sat on the bed and said, "You have such a good laugh point. You don't laugh at many interesting plots."
"I think the movie is very interesting, but in the theater I watched the movie while watching you. The movie is not as attractive as you." Yang Jian would not say that he had watched the movie many times and knew the plot of the movie.
"Haha, your mouth is so sweet, let me try to see if it's covered with honey." Barrymore kissed him and said with a smile: "Actually, my best friend became famous in the movie with Jim Carrey. You can guess it.
Who?"
“Cameron Diaz in ‘The Man in Disguise’?”
"orgeon, don't you even need to think? How do you know?" Barrymore was stunned.
"I've watched all Jim Carrey's movies in the past few years, and she's the only best friend who looks like you. Monica became famous in "Friends", and it's not like Nicole Kidman can hang out with you.
There is only one person, Cameron, with his big grin and silly smile. He is very suitable to be your sister at first sight. You two have very similar temperaments."
"Hahaha, that's too much. I will tell Kami that you said bad things about her."
"This is a compliment. I praise you for being straightforward and not pretentious."
"Come here and let me praise your... strong body..."
Yang Jian had a very passionate night again, and she slept well and had a good rest.
Yang Jian bought tickets for the SuperSonics vs. 76ers game, and Barrymore would go to watch the game in the evening. But this time they couldn't buy a seat near the visiting team's bench.
Since the Sonics have two super dunkers, their attendance at home and away games is very high. Philadelphia fans bought tickets for good seats early. The last time Barrymore was able to buy a front row was because of the strength of the Grizzlies.
Weak, Seattle fans feel it’s not worth buying front row tickets and the game will be one-sided.
The highlight of Philadelphia's pre-game promotion was Jerry Stackhouse vs. Yang Jian.
Stackhouse was the No. 2 pick in the first round and started every game at No. 2. He averaged 21 points, 3.7 rebounds and 4 assists in the first five games of the season. However, his shooting percentage was only 40.7% and his three-point shooting percentage was 28.8%.
Free throw percentage was 76.2%.
Looking at scoring efficiency, Stackhouse is not qualified to compare with Yang Jian. However, fans nowadays basically don’t look at efficiency and shooting percentage. They only think that the two are two rookies who currently score 20 points and they are both outsiders. There is a gap in strength.
Not big.
The No. 1 position is also a competition between stars. The 76ers' starter is Vernon Maxwell who is 193cm tall and weighs 86kg.
Maxwell is a well-known role player. Before joining the 76ers, he had just won two consecutive championships with the Rockets and was a main member of the championship team.
His nickname is "Crazy Max" and he is famous for his key shots. On defense, he is also known as a tough defensive master. Maxwell is also a bad guy off the court. In February this year, he played against the Trail Blazers.
During a game, he rushed into the stands and beat up a fan.
After the game, the fan who was beaten said he was just mocking Maxwell for only scoring 5 points in three quarters. When Maxwell was suspended, the Rockets traded Drexler, which was the first time the Rockets successfully defended their title.
important reasons.
Maxwell mainly played shooting guard in the Rockets, but after joining the 76ers, he switched to point guard. This is a major weakness of the 76ers at present. Maxwell is not very good at organizing offense, and he is a bit rushed.
In the evening, players from both teams entered the venue on time.
The Seattle local station broadcasts every SuperSonics game live, and the commentator first introduces the players.
Sheldon Lowry said: "It is a pity that Yang Jian failed to win the best player in the first week, but his performance in the first week was no worse than any player. How to defend him today should be a headache for the 76ers coach.
.Although Stackhouse is the third overall pick this year, he has no advantage against Young."
Plummer Lott said: "I think Young will definitely take more shots in this game, and the SuperSonics coach should also let him take more shots. Because the 76ers also use a twin-tower tactic, and the two inside players are not very mobile.
Qiang Yang always performs well when facing the Twin Towers lineup."
George Karl did arrange for Yang Jian to be the main attacker in the first quarter. He was in good condition during the warm-up training. He could still dunk in various tricks and was not drained by his celebrity girlfriend. Moreover, Yang Jian was in a good mood. Barrymore came to watch again today.
The ball, he wants to perform with all his strength.
The starting big men from both sides walked to the court to prepare for the jump ball.
76ers five players: Maxwell, Stackhouse, Richard Dumars, Sharon White, Shawn Bradley.
SuperSonics Five: Payton, Yang Jian, Schrempf, Kemp, P.J. Brown.
Stackhouse is a very arrogant newcomer. He provoked Yang Jian and said: "Don't think you can definitely win the Rookie of the Year award this season. I won't let you continue to be arrogant."
"Do you think you can conquer the judges just by showing off your free throw shooting style?" Yang Jian said with a smile.
"..." Stackhouse was immediately speechless.
His free throw shooting posture is very unique, just like squatting in the toilet. The longer he squats, the more accurate his free throw shooting will be. I don’t know which coach taught him to shoot free throws like this. It is weird and ugly.
Stackhouse knew very well that Yang Jian's playing posture was indeed much more beautiful than his...
