Chapter 579 [My goal is always to compete for the championship]
The Sonics' free-market signings sparked a lot of controversy, with countless Sonics fans angrily criticizing the management for their inaction. In the eyes of others, the Sonics' interior lineup is weaker than last season.
Although Anthony Mason Jr. will come back, how can Ben Wallace, who has just hit his level, be let go for nothing? Even if he doesn't want to stay on the team, a sign-and-trade for two high-ranking draft picks will do.
Fans don't care about contract premiums or luxury taxes, they just feel that players with quality should stay or be exchanged for something good.
In fact, it is impossible for a blue-collar player like Ben Wallace to exchange for a high-ranking draft pick. If other teams have draft picks, wouldn't it be better to choose a more talented insider to train? A young insider with offensive ability is definitely better than
Blue collar is valuable.
What will the Sonics do next season? This seems to be something that owners and managers have to worry about, but a team like the Sonics that attracts attention will always get a lot of free "advice."
Some people suggest that Damon Jones and Bruce Bowen should be packaged with draft picks, and the Nuggets should be traded for power forward Antonio McDyess, so that the SuperSonics will have stars both inside and outside.
The reason is that McDyess averaged 21.2 points, 10.7 rebounds, 1.6 assists, 1.5 steals and 2.3 blocks per game last season. He is very promising and worthy of joining the SuperSonics. And McDyess should be willing to join the Nuggets. The Nuggets' record is very bad and he wants to compete.
The crown should go away.
As for why the Nuggets management agreed to this kind of trade... fans won't delve into it. What? The trade actually requires the nod of the other party's manager and owner? The Sonics are willing to trade because they think highly of them.
This is a major characteristic of Yun fans. Even if they don't even understand the basic rules, they dare to say whatever comes to mind. SuperSonics fans are relatively low-key, but Lakers fans are outrageous. Every year, some people propose to use players they don't want in the team to replace stars.
, changed throughout the league.
Last season, someone suggested that the Lakers use Eddie Jones and two draft picks to trade Yang Jian to the Lakers. Fans think that the location of Los Angeles is much better than that of Seattle, and Yang Jian will be willing to come. His partner with O'Neal is invincible.
When Yang Jian returned to Seattle to promote the movie, he was interviewed by local reporters and was also asked about the Sonics.
He made it clear: "The SuperSonics will not have any big deals in the summer. I am very satisfied with the team's current lineup. I think as long as the lineup remains reasonable, it doesn't matter if the players are a little bit famous. I am confident that I will lead the team to play well in the game."
The reporter asked: "What is your goal for next season?"
"Of course it's the championship. My goal is always to compete for the championship, whether it's playing basketball, singing, or making movies."
The reporter asked: "However, the team let go of Ben Wallace, who performed very well last season. Don't you want to keep this outstanding teammate?"
"These are things that the management needs to decide. My main task is to play basketball. No matter who I am as a teammate with, I am confident that I can help them bring out their own advantages. Just because they are not stars now does not mean they will not become stars in the future. I believe that I
He will also perform very well after joining the Pistons, and I wish him better and better."
Wally Walker will ask Yang Jian for his opinion before the transaction, but Yang Jian will not make people think that he is "Manager Yang" to the outside world. Even if the transaction and signing are successful and the team's record is excellent, many people will say that he is too in charge.
More. If it succeeds, the manager should also get some limelight.
After staying in Seattle for two days to promote the movie, Yang Jian flew to Los Angeles.
As soon as the news that "My goal is always to compete for the championship" came out, fans felt that Yang Jianlian was in the music and film industry to compete for the championship. He seems to be the kind of person who has a strong desire to win and lose. He probably goes to school.
Every time I take an exam, I compete for first place.
The miraculous thing is that Yang Jian really became a cross-border champion, especially in the music world, he has gone crazy.
The album "I Sing Rock and Roll" has been at the top of the Billboard charts for 11 weeks and has topped the charts in 32 countries. The album sold 500,000 copies on the day of release and reached one million sales within a week.
The first single "intheend" was played 177 times on the radio in its first week of release, stayed at number one on the UK Singles Chart for four weeks, and topped the charts in 18 countries. It also went gold and platinum in 45 countries.
Record certification. It was included in the "100 Greatest Songs" by MTV and Rolling Stone magazine together with "vivalavida".
The singers who released albums with Yang Jian at the same time were suppressed and out of breath, and the vigorous promotions of many record companies were in vain. When these people were in the news, they basically served as stepping stones for Yang Jian and were used by the media to set off Yang Jian.
How awesome.
The only singer who was not affected was Eminem. His duet with Yang Jian greatly increased his popularity. His rap album was sold to a different audience than Yang Jian's album.
Moreover, the effect of their publicity together is 11 greater than 2. The white singer’s rap album ranked first among similar albums, and the basketball star’s album ranked first in the world for the whole year. It’s incredible.
This month, as a producer, screenwriter, and starring in the movie "The Fast and the Furious", Yang Jian is also going crazy in the film industry, dominating the North American box office list. Warner Bros.'s science fiction comedy "The Furious" was released on June 30.
The police were affected and rushed to the street.
This is the most failed movie in the life of black movie star Will Smith. The production cost was 180 million US dollars and it was the most invested blockbuster this year. However, the opening box office was only 27.68 US dollars.
The movie's performance was not as good as "The Fast and the Furious" which was released for three weeks. It failed both at the box office and in word of mouth, and it had no way out.
Will Smith worked hard to promote the movie, even if he shouted "I am your captain Awei" in a hurry, he could not attract more fans to the theater to support it.
The movie is adapted from an American TV series in the 1960s. It mainly tells the story of a black agent and a disguise master who join forces to stop the genius Dr. Strange from usurping power. After the test screening, many viewers were not sure whether the film was a comedy, so the film was produced
Fang spent money on reshoots to add more comedy elements.
After a long time of tossing, this super blockbuster was finally released, but it was easily overturned by Yang Jian and a group of unknown young actors.
So on July 5th, Yang Jian made the headlines of entertainment news again. Almost all the entertainment media around the world were comparing the two movies. The overwhelming performance of "The Storm" made "The Fast and the Furious" appear in the movie.
There is so much passion outside.
Some media commented: "If Yang Jian was not a basketball star, his movie schedule would have been scheduled for three years. He has become the most successful Chinese movie star in Hollywood in history."
"It is also a setting of two male protagonists, and the brotherhood between Dom and Brian is touching. Of the two male protagonists in "Bad Boys," who will remember their names after watching the movie?"
"If someone had said that Yang Jian's acting skills were better than Will Smith's before the release of 'The Fast and the Furious', everyone would have thought it was a joke. But when the facts are in front of you, you can't help but believe it."
"Will Smith actually turned down "The Matrix" for this movie. He must regret it very much."
When Warner Bros. was preparing to shoot "The Matrix", they invited him to star in the movie because of his good image in "Men in Black".
However, Shi Huang refused. At that time, in addition to "The Matrix", there was also "Bad Boys" in front of him. After reading the script and thinking carefully, he chose the latter.
According to him, after he read the script of "The Matrix", he couldn't understand many parts of it. What this actually means is that he felt that there were many parts of the script that people couldn't understand, so the audience couldn't understand it.
The movie would naturally fail, so I refused.
In the end, the role of Rinho in "The Matrix" was played by Keanu Reeves. This movie became an immediate hit after its release, and later launched two sequels, becoming a very classic series.
The failure of "Ride" had some negative effects on Will Smith. After all, it was your commercial film that failed, so you won't have the confidence to ask for such a high salary next time.
The other leading actor, Kevin Kline, was even worse, and he never starred in a commercial blockbuster again.
