"Chicago" was released for more than a month, and the North American box office was a hit, reaching 185 million U.S. dollars, almost exceeding 200 million U.S. dollars.
Some fans lamented that if the movie had been released on a better schedule, the box office might have exceeded 200 million. In fact, it was not the case. The movie's box office was 15 million higher than the original version. In addition to publicity, the main reason was that there were no competitors.
From mid-February to mid-March, as long as the audience goes to the theater, they usually watch "Chicago". They have no other choice, the others are all big bad movies.
On March 22, "Dawn of the Dead", which cost US$26 million to produce, was released in North America and also achieved impressive box office results. For a B-level movie, the premiere box office of US$30.6 million was quite successful, and the global box office
It must be over 100 million.
Huaer Pictures' movies have always maintained a momentum of making money every time, and even "Mulholland Drive" is no exception. "Mulholland Drive" did not do well at the box office, but its performance in the disc market was not bad. This movie is not
It's suitable for watching in theaters, but it's also suitable for fans who like brain-burning movies to watch at home.
On April 3, the SuperSonics lost to the Bucks 113-118 in an away game, their sixth loss of the season.
Star power forward Raheem performed well, scoring 33 points, 8 rebounds and 3 assists. Sophomore shooting guard Michael Reed made 5 of 9 three-pointers and scored 21 points.
Reed's game has never been very reasonable, and his effect is single, but he is very powerful when his hand is twitching. He dared to take action in the face of severe interference from Yang Jian, and he actually made the shot.
Every season until April, the Sonics tend to lose. The team's record is so good, and after locking in the league's first place in advance, the players will inevitably become a little relaxed.
It’s already number one anyway, and it’s impossible to break the historical record, and the coaching staff won’t arrange high-intensity training.
On April 8, the SuperSonics lost to the Clippers 102-105 at home, causing a big upset.
Steve Francis was guarded by Yang Jian, and another guard Jeff McGinnis had hot hands, scoring 24 points, 5 rebounds and 7 assists.
Corey Maggette also performed well, scoring 20 points and 6 rebounds. Maggette is a small forward with strong impact. Bruce Bowen is more afraid of this type and cannot prevent the opponent's forced breakthrough.
The Clippers still can't make the playoffs this season, but they have a sharp fast break and occasionally stage a show where the weak defeat the strong. They have also defeated the Lakers and Kings before, relying on chaotic battles.
On April 13, the SuperSonics lost their eighth game to the Mavericks again at home, 109-116.
The Mavericks are fortunate to be the only team to defeat the SuperSonics twice in the regular season this season, and coach Nelson has received praise from the media.
Rashard Lewis plays the starting power forward and suffers losses every game against Nowitzki. Let Stephen Jackson play as the main defense, and the offense will be a little worse. Jackson's offense is good and bad. He missed five simple shots in this game.
open ball.
The Mavericks' point guard Steve Nash was also the key to winning. He got better and better, scoring 21 points and 9 assists. He had the upper hand against Payton and had a higher shooting percentage.
In the last two games, the Sonics made no mistakes, easily defeated the Nuggets and Grizzlies, and ended the regular season with a record of 74 wins and 8 losses.
Yang Jian is very satisfied with this result. Although they lost three games in April, it does not affect the overall situation. The results of the playoffs are the most important. The SuperSonics won the home court advantage in all series.
2-8 in the West are Kings, Lakers, Spurs, Mavericks, Timberwolves, Trail Blazers, and Jazz.
Ranked 9-14 are the Clippers, Suns, Warriors, Grizzlies, Nuggets, and Rockets.
The Clippers are ranked 9th, just one breath away from the playoffs. This is already the Clippers' best record in recent years.
The Grizzlies' poor record is due to injuries. Power forward Lamar Odom only played 30 games and Ray Allen missed 32 games due to injury.
The management made the wrong decision to send away Mike Bibby in exchange for Jason Williams. "White Chocolate" can't drive the team, it's just a fancy style of play. Small forward Sean Battier's performance in his rookie season was actually
Very good, but he is not a super scorer, averaging only 14 points per game.
The Raptors are ranked first in the Eastern Conference again, with only 53 wins. Relying on their swingman lineup, the Raptors have an advantage in the Eastern Conference.
2-8 are Nets, Pistons, Celtics, Magic, Bucks, 76ers, and Pacers.
Ranked 9-15 are the Hornets, Bulls, Heat, Wizards, Knicks, Hawks, and Cavaliers.
The Wizards only managed 34 wins in the end and were able to draft another high-ranking rookie. Jordan's comeback ended in failure. There was no need for him to play another season, and the situation would only be worse.
But Jordan refused to admit defeat. He insisted that the Wizards could not win the game because his teammates were so bad. In the summer, he planned to ask the management to make trades according to his wishes and fight for another season.
Jordan not only wanted to make it to the playoffs to prove himself, but also to get more shares in the team. Little did he know that the Wizards' owners and players were already very dissatisfied with him.
Yang Jian played all 82 regular season games, and his final statistics were 32.5 points, 5.3 rebounds, 11.4 assists and 2.8 steals per game. He once again ranked first in the three statistical lists, with Iverson ranking second in both scoring and steals.
Iverson averaged 30 points per game for two consecutive seasons and is a hot local star. The media constantly promotes him, but this season it is difficult for him to lead the team past the first round of the playoffs.
When the media compared Iverson and Yang Jian, they deliberately did not mention shooting percentage, as if they were similar scorers, but Yang Jian had more assists.
In fact, Iverson averaged 31.4 points, 4.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists and 2.8 steals per game, with a field goal percentage of only 39.8% and a true shooting percentage of 48.9%. He averaged an astonishing 27.8 shots per game and averaged 9.8 free throws per game, which was higher than Yang Jian's.
There are more, and he also has a league-high average of 4 turnovers per game.
It is difficult for a team to win with such a core. Teammates must shoot very high percentages to drive this single core. Iverson was not accurate in shooting except at the basket. He averaged 13.7 mid-range shots per game and made 13.7 mid-range shots per game.
The rate is less than 35%.
Both averaged 2.8 steals per game, but Iverson only played 60 games in total, so the steal leader was Yang Jian.
Yang Jian received milestone data, and the lottery pocket space increased by one cubic meter, currently totaling 5 cubic meters.
Pistons center Ben Wallace won both the rebounding and shot-blocking titles, averaging 7.6 points, 13 rebounds, 1.4 assists, 1.7 steals and 3.5 blocks per game.
Yang Jian's younger brother and bodyguard has now become an inside star, but he was not selected for the All-Star Game this season. The Pistons finished third in the final record, but no one was selected for the All-Stars. None of the players was highly praised by the league.
The SuperSonics faced the Jazz in the first round, and the media predicted that the Sonics would sweep through and advance.
The Jazz were beaten 4-0 by the SuperSonics in the regular season, and there was no hope of winning the game. The Jazz still relied on Malone and Stockton as their original core. After Kirilenko joined, he improved the defensive strength on the wings, which was the only improvement.
.
Since the SuperSonics are firmly at the top of the list, the Lakers will meet the Kings in the second round. Yang Jian feels that if the Lakers play tiebreaker with the Kings like they did in a parallel world, no matter which team enters the Western Conference Finals, the players' physical strength will definitely be affected and insufficient.
For fear.
Yang Jian is more optimistic about the Lakers reaching the Western Conference Finals. The OK combination is a bigger name and can attract attention against the SuperSonics. When the two teams are similar in strength, the whistle will definitely be biased towards the Lakers.
The SuperSonics coaching staff submitted a 12-man roster for the playoffs, but three people missed the playoffs.
Center: Patrick Ewing, Brad Miller, Samuel Dalembert.
Power forward: Rashard Lewis, Danny Ferry.
Small forward: Bruce Bowen, Stephen Jackson.
Shooting guards: Yang Jian, Dell Curry, Cuttino Mobley.
Point guard: Gary Payton, Anthony Carter.
Kevin Willis, Tyronn Lue, and Mitch Richmond were excluded from the list.
Richmond has a knee injury and his physical fitness has seriously declined. Even if he plays, he can only be a marginal player.
In fact, Willis is stronger than Ewing, but his reputation is much smaller than Ewing. Bringing Ewing in the playoffs will attract fans more. This is the last season of Ewing's career, and the coaching staff decided to give him enough
of respect.
Tyronn Lue's defensive ability is not as good as Anthony Carter's, so he can only be a spectator on the sidelines.
The only thing to blame is that there is no Allen Iverson in the West and Tyronn Lue has no room to use.
