After the game started, the Sonics quickly took the initiative. The score difference was not big but they played more methodically.
The Hornets mainly rely on the individual abilities of their stars to score points, with simple pick-and-roll tactics and a large number of isolation plays.
In the end, the SuperSonics defeated the Hornets 108-96, winning 9 consecutive games.
The score difference was not big because the Hornets' defense was very tenacious and they fought for every ball.
Backup center Matt Geiger left the game with 6 fouls, and several gnawing defensive fouls put a lot of pressure on Yang Jian. This guy broke O'Neal's finger in the preseason, and his expression when he was defending today looked like he wanted to
Yang Jian looked like he had a broken bone.
Star player Glenn Rice also committed 5 fouls and made a lot of defensive moves. He is not fast, but he is not easily passed, and he is very strong.
Six members of the SuperSonics team scored in double figures, playing a multi-point game.
Yang Jian made 5 of 10 shots, 1 of 3 three-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, and scored 18 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 assists.
Yang Jian didn't exert much force in this game, and the players all played very selflessly. Payton, who took the most shots, only took 14 shots, made 7 goals, 1 of 3 free throws, and scored 15 points and 8 assists.
Kemp only made 7 shots, made 5 goals, made 3 of 5 free throws, and scored 13 points, 16 rebounds, 3 assists, 3 steals, and 2 blocks.
Larry Johnson's intimidating power is quite extraordinary. Kemp was particularly low-key in this game and didn't make many strong plays. He couldn't get rid of Johnson, and he almost didn't attack with the ball. He scored all the goals after being screened by his teammates.
Schrempf came back to life, making 6 of 10 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, 6 of 7 free throws, and scored a team-high 20 points, 6 rebounds and 2 assists.
The best performer for the Hornets was backup guard Dell Curry, who made 7 of 14 shots, 4 of 10 three-pointers, and 2 of 2 free throws in 29 minutes, scoring 20 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists.
This shooting guard with a similar figure to Yang Jian is the father of future superstar Stephen Curry, and his shooting ability is passed down from his family. However, his dribbling skills are incomparable with his son's, and his physical fitness is relatively average, but only accurate.
Yang Jian faced Hersey Hawkins, who was originally supposed to join the SuperSonics. He made 4 of 14 shots, 1 of 5 three-pointers, 4 of 4 free throws, and scored 13 points, 4 rebounds, and 7 assists.
Hawkins struggled to defend against Yang Jian and suffered a physical defeat.
Glenn Rice and Larry Johnson scored in double figures, but their shooting percentages were poor, neither reaching 40%. Yang Jian did not get points from Rice, and he believed there would be opportunities in the future.
In the evening, everyone from the SuperSonics took a special plane to fly to Indianapolis, Indiana, to prepare for the game against the Pacers.
Drew Barrymore followed him to Polis again, and everyone joked that the female star's life is really easy. She occasionally makes money by filming, and then she can play around and decide the length of her vacation. If she doesn't want to work, she doesn't have to audition.
After checking into the hotel, Yang Jian and Barrymore began a hesitant and casual intimate communication.
Just after the game, Yang Jian was in a state of excitement and was not sleepy at all. Late at night, they continued to chat and talked about their future careers.
Barrymore said with envy: "You are so powerful now, you will definitely be a superstar in the future. I don't know if I can become a first-line female star in the future."
"Aren't you doing well now? You've made many movies and played the leading role." Yang Jian said with a smile.
"I play the heroine in a low-budget movie. I can only play a small role in a big-budget movie like Batman, and I don't even have a name. My luck is not as good as Cammy (Cameron Diaz), and I don't know.
When can you make a movie with a box office of over 100 million, I think it will be even harder to make a good movie."
She has had high-grossing movies, but they were all in her childhood, and she always felt that she was not what she used to be.
Yang Jian asked: "Why do you want to be a producer? Isn't it bad to be an actor?"
"Being a producer is so majestic. How can I prove that I am a strong woman if I don't become a producer?" Barrymore lamented: "I opened a shell company. I can't make movies in the short term. I don't know what to make."
.”
"Horror movies and romantic comedies have low production costs and high box office returns. I think this is the most suitable for you at the moment. Your smile is very sweet, and your romantic comedies are very contagious."
"My agent also said that my best choices now are these two genres. I heard that O'Neill is still the leading actor in movies. Do you want to try making movies in the future?" Barrymore and Yang Jian are always very good at movies.
able to talk to.
Of course Yang Jian understands. Although he is not in the entertainment industry, he has watched a lot and knows which Hollywood movies have the highest box office in this era. Romantic comedies have gradually declined in the 21st century, while horror movies have endured for a long time.
Nervous and exciting.
"I haven't studied acting, so my acting skills must be terrible." Yang Jian is self-aware. There is a huge gap between people who have studied acting and amateurs.
"But you have a good image, and you are tall enough to be an actor. If I have a good script and a role that suits you, will you be willing to act with me?" Barrymore asked.
"Then I'll do my best. There are very few roles that require Asian actors, right?"
"There will definitely be some in action movies. Who doesn't know Chinese Kung Fu? But if you don't know Kung Fu, it would be great if you knew a little bit. I want to make action movies in the future and play a female agent." Barrymore had an idea at this time.
Yang Jian doesn't think she can work with Barrymore in a movie like "Charlie's Angels". She can't play the villain who wants to kill the mysterious man Charlie, right? The villain shot Barrymore wrapped in a bath towel downstairs, and then she
She ran around naked to borrow clothes and a bicycle from a child, and had sex with two sisters. The plot was quite funny.
Barrymore's words gave Yang Jian a wake-up call. He really didn't know kung fu before, but he can learn it. Now he has the talent to learn unarmed combat and can learn it very quickly.
He doesn't know exactly how fast it is, but it's just pos, somersaults, etc. It must be easy with his physical fitness.
If he becomes an actor and demonstrates Chinese Kung Fu, he might not only be able to fight, but also be able to fight beautifully.
Yang Jian became interested. "You will be good at acting in action movies in the future. I also want to take the time to try it."
"But now no one is looking for me to act in action movies, but some people are looking for me to act in thrillers." Barrymore acted in "Fire" as a child and has experience in this area.
"If someone asks you to play the heroine of a thriller, you should take it. Even if it is a small-budget film, it may be a box office hit. I think this will help increase your popularity."
"It's hard for actors to become popular in horror movies, and they are usually played by young people." Barrymore was not very interested.
"Aren't you just a young man? You just entered the industry earlier than others." Yang Jian sweated.
"Yes."
Barrymore's acting style is very similar to that of Naomi Watts. They are both sweet-looking types who can easily attract the audience when they scream. They will not conflict because Barrymore does not often act in horror movies and thrillers.
Yang Jian suggested because she remembered that Barrymore turned down the lead role in a movie "Scream" that had a box office of over 100 million. The crew originally wanted her to play the lead role. She felt that the film was low-cost, had a messy plot and had no future, so she took the initiative to ask
From the heroine to the supporting actress, she played the unlucky guy who was stabbed to death by a killer at the beginning.
As a result, the movie was a box office hit and a sequel was released, and the heroine, Neve Campbell, became famous.
Campbell was named "The Most Charming Female Movie Star of 1999" by "News" magazine, and her vote was only lower than Natalie Portman, who became famous in the United States because of "Star Wars".
Barrymore's current popularity is not very high, and turning down "Scream" was a wrong choice. If she wants to become popular and prove herself at the box office, she has to wait for "Charlie's Angels", which is still early.
Still sitting.
Barrymore thought for a while, nodded and said: "You are right, if there is a good script, I will consider it. Maybe it can achieve high box office. I haven't acted in a high box office movie for a long time."
"You don't have to act in thrillers all the time, just do one once in a while. The heroine in this kind of movie only needs to scream. I think it's better than those movies that have to show off their sex appeal to attract attention."
"I promise you that future filming will not be very exposed. I had just returned to the entertainment industry at the time, and I wanted to be remembered by people to get rid of the child star label, so I had to make some sacrifices." Barrymore felt that Yang Jian was a little jealous, but he was very happy.
Little does she know that as long as she listens to Yang Jian, her popularity will definitely be higher than in the parallel world, and she can avoid detours...
