Chapter 434 [Award acceptance speech, easy to win the championship]
In early September, Yang Jian and his party flew to Los Angeles.
Yang Jian took a day off in Los Angeles and attended the Emmy Awards ceremony dressed up with Jennifer Aniston.
In North America, rumors about the two's affair are flying all over the place. Whether they admit it or not, everyone knows that they are a couple. They also sat together and chatted at the award ceremony, and the cameraman gave many close-ups.
Yang Jian successfully defeated Hector Elizondo to win the Emmy Award for Best Supporting Actor, becoming the biggest highlight of this awards ceremony. His competitor was an ordinary-looking little old man, and the judges were all
I'm sorry to say that this person is a better actor than Yang Jian.
How can an actor perform well? Attracting the audience's attention is an important criterion. In this regard, no TV actor can compare with Yang Jian. His guest appearance in the last two episodes once overshadowed the six protagonists of "Friends".
Yang Jian gave an acceptance speech and said: "I would like to thank Jennifer Aniston, Drew Barrymore, and Naomi Watts. I am a basketball player, and acting is not my main job. The reason why I can act
, just because I know friends in the entertainment industry, they taught me my acting skills."
"In addition, I also like to discuss acting with Leonardo DiCaprio. Leon is a very good actor, and I believe that the movie "Titanic" starring him will definitely gain both word-of-mouth and box office success after it is released.
I hope to have more opportunities to prove myself on the big screen in the future, thank you all!"
The audience applauded one after another, and some even laughed. Still no one was optimistic about "Titanic". Yang Jian's behavior of supporting her friend seemed a bit funny to many people, and she could easily be slapped in the face.
Leonardo was very happy to watch the award ceremony. He knew that Yang Jian really thought highly of him and was a good friend. He had been at a low point recently, and Yang Jian could immediately write a script and let him be the starring role.
Unknowingly, he gained confidence and no longer feared that the movie would hit the market. With friends like Yang Jian and the backing of Huaer Pictures, even if he failed, he would not have to worry about being devastated and having nothing to film. Yang Jian would definitely look for him.
During filming, he could get up even if he fell down.
Several award-winning TV actors were helpless. The media extensively reported Yang Jian's award-winning event and his scandal, stealing all the limelight.
In fact, the Emmy Awards also have the meaning of dividing awards. "Friends" is extremely popular but only won one Best Supporting Actor award. If the show and crew won nothing, many viewers would definitely be dissatisfied.
The key is that this award was given to Yang Jian, which has a completely different meaning. The other actors combined are not as popular as Yang Jian. The audience is paying attention to Yang Jian and the three women he thanked, and even who is the best actor, best drama
It doesn’t matter what kind of movie it is.
Jennifer and Barrymore have been rumored to be having an affair with Yang Jian, so no one thinks it's strange. Naomi's name is relatively unfamiliar to people, and the media immediately broke the news that Naomi was the heroine of "The Ring" and had previously guest-starred in "Fifty First Dates"
》.
Some entertainment media released photos of Naomi, and the audience marveled at her appearance. At this time, someone brought up the old story and said that Yang Jian often visited the crew of "The Ring" and that he and Naomi had a particularly close relationship.
.
Seattle media even broke the news that Naomi usually lives in Seattle and is most likely living with Yang Jian.
Yang Jian mentioned that Naomi was something that was agreed upon. The editing of "The Ring" has been completed and the trailer is about to be released. It is impossible for Naomi to continue to keep a low profile.
The biggest weakness of this movie is that there are no big-name stars. Naomi's popularity and parallel world are unmatched when she acted in this movie. Once the media says that she is Yang Jian's girlfriend, her attention will be greatly increased. After all, she is
A beauty who can compete with "Rachel Green" for men.
Yang Jian did not accept an interview to clarify the relationship and did not have time to do this. He flew back to China alone that night to join the national team, and then flew to Saudi Arabia together, where the Asian Championships was about to begin.
Everyone has no objection to Yang Jian not participating in the Chinese men's basketball training camp, including the head coach. The fans all support Yang Jian and feel that he is overqualified to represent the national team in Asian-level competitions.
Yang Jian decided to abide by the team's discipline and stay in the hotel with his teammates without his girlfriend accompanying him to the game.
Jennifer is tired of playing and has to go film the fourth season of "Friends". Drew Barrymore is working as a producer and is busy with "Superman". Naomi Watts is going to be interviewed, here are some
program to maintain exposure and promote "Midnight Ring".
If Yang Jian plays the game by himself, he will definitely be stronger by recharging his energy.
Facts have proved that this is indeed the case. The opponents are all fans of Yang Jian, and several people asked him for his autograph. After he came on the court, no one of the opponent's outside players could guard him. He dribbled under the crotch and followed up with step-back shots in one move, which made people helpless.
.
Outside players who are about the same height as Yang Jian can't block his shots, and he can easily play in isolation. Big men who are taller than him can't keep up with the defender's speed, and it's easy for him to pass the ball or rely on screens to catch the ball.
Every Chinese men's basketball game is full, and all the fans come to see Yang Jian's performance. The opponent doesn't expect to win at all. They can get a sense of accomplishment by interfering with Yang Jian's shooting in a certain round and causing him to miss.
Asian players generally have average physical fitness. They are at a physical disadvantage when facing other players in the Chinese men's basketball team. Compared with Yang Jian, they are amateurs. If they can play against an NBA superstar once in their life, it is the pinnacle of their lives.
The tight schedule is not a problem for Yang Jian at all. He does not feel tired at all in the Asian-level competition. He also has an advantage. The weather in Saudi Arabia is great, and the sun is shining every day.
Yang Jian was basking in the sun, and his Kryptonian talents came into play. He played at his best in every game. However, because he was always double-teamed, he did not score super high scores. The most he scored was 47 points, 8 rebounds and 12 assists in one game.
4 steals.
Under the leadership of Yang Jian, the Chinese men's basketball team averaged a margin of 43 points per game and won the championship effortlessly.
Yang Jian's best performance was in the semi-finals against South Korea, where he almost scored 50 triple-doubles in 34 minutes.
In a parallel world, South Korea's main center Seo Jang-hoon was provocative before the game, giving the impression that he wanted to attack the inside to prove himself. Then the South Korean team mainly attacked from the outside, catching the Chinese men's basketball team off guard, and finally won the game.
Now that Yang Jian has joined the national team, no matter what method the South Korean team uses, they cannot pose any threat to the Chinese men's basketball team. It doesn't matter that Battelle did not participate in this game due to injury. Yang Jian can always attract double-teams from the outside. As long as his teammates do a good job
Just get ready to catch the ball and shoot.
Seeing the coach seriously analyzing the Korean team's lineup before the game and talking about how to restrict the Korean team's "stars", Yang Jian felt speechless.
Stars? Are those Koreans worthy of being called stars?
Yang Jian led the team to defeat the South Korean team by 41 points. Chinese fans felt that the Korean team was very weak. In fact, they were not that weak. Without Yang Jian, it would be difficult for the Chinese men's basketball team to win.
Without Yang Jian, there would be no superstars, and the Chinese men's basketball team would not have players who can dominate the game through singles and breakthroughs. Yang Jian's current basketball skills are better than those of everyone in the Chinese men's basketball team. Combined with his physical fitness, he is invincible.
The final of the Asian Championships... was a slugfest, with nothing to say at all.
Yang Jian averaged 36.3 points, 7.3 rebounds, 13 assists, 3 steals and 1.7 blocks per game in the Asian Championships, shooting 66.3% from the field, 53.2% from the three-point range, and 90% from the free throw line.
Because his shooting percentage was so high, media from many countries reported on this event. The "180 Club" is amazing enough. The sum of Yang Jian's three shooting percentages exceeded 200.
Yang Jian's average of 13 assists per game is also terrible. Even opponents can't guard him when double-teaming him. He will protect the basketball and find gaps to pass the ball to his teammates for easy shots.
After the game, Yang Jian said in an interview: "It's normal for me to perform like this in an Asian-level competition. It would be strange if I couldn't produce luxurious data, so I won't mess around."
Yang Jian also commented on his teammates and suggested that they work hard to practice defense and improve their defensive abilities in the future.
If the Chinese men's basketball team cannot guard against the opponent's offense, no matter how good its own offense is, it will be difficult to win the world championship.
Especially now, the team's inability to hold up people in the penalty area is a fatal flaw. Wang Zhizhi is still too young, strong in offense and weak in defense. His statistics are good, mainly obtained by playing pick-and-rolls with Yang Jian, and there are not enough rebounds and blocks.
Battle is not as good as Wang Zhizhi, he is too slow.
