Chapter 924 [Can't hold back the fire, long-term plan]
This month, Yang Jian also took the time to attend the premiere of the global blockbuster "King Kong".
The last time the media reported that he did not walk the red carpet with Naomi Watts, this time he made a special trip to Los Angeles to break the rumors that the two had broken up.
After watching the movie, the audience felt that Naomi was the most outstanding among the actors. In this movie, her appearance was even better than that in "Mulholland Drive" five years ago.
The film's reputation was average, and its first-week box office was less than expected, with only 52.4 million U.S. dollars. The total investment in the film was as high as 250 million U.S. dollars, and it was difficult to recover the cost. But Universal lost, but Naomi did not lose. By the end of this year, she dominated the screen.
She has become the most discussed female star on the Internet.
What people are discussing is not Naomi’s acting skills, but is she really 37 years old?
Not only movie fans are curious, Nicole Kidman is also curious. If Naomi continues to be so young, the two will not be able to play happily together in the future.
Judging from her appearance, she seems to be no different from her 30-year-old self. And her 30-year-old status is better than that of many 25-year-old female stars. She and Yang Jian used to be siblings, but now that they are together, it's a bit like the other way around.
.
Yang Jian has never used the elixir, and he looks much more mature than in the past. He deliberately didn't use it. His mature appearance will make his girlfriends feel more comfortable. It is not a good thing for a recognized macho man to have a tender face.
Universal's top executives are convinced. Recently, all the company's profitable films have been produced by Huaer Pictures. It's hard to explain why Universal's own big-budget movies have failed one after another. "Van Helsing" failed miserably, and "King Kong" failed miserably.
I guess it's not much better. I'd be thankful to be able to get back to where I started.
In the future, when Universal has another big-budget movie plan, the senior management will first consult Yang Jian about his ideas. If Yang Jian is not optimistic about the project, then it will be stopped directly.
At present, Yang Jian's return on investment in making movies is unmatched. After he retired from the NBA, Universal companies were willing to ask him to be CEO.
The SuperSonics still did not participate in the Christmas Day game. The two games arranged by the league are the Suns vs. Bulls and the Heat vs. Lakers.
As a result, both games were very ugly. The Suns' defense in the penalty area was too poor, and they were defeated by the Bulls by 30 points.
It is not a good idea to use Kurt Thomas, who is 206cm tall, to guard Yao Ming. It is impossible to guard him. Marion seems to be misaligned against Brand, and the weight difference between the two is 15 kilograms.
In the outside competition, when Jamal Crawford guest-starred as point guard, it was easier to beat Nash in misplaced positions.
The other game was an iron fight. The Heat narrowly defeated the Lakers 97-92 at home. The highlight of the game was Dwight Howard's brave challenge to Shaquille O'Neal for the ball. He had four big blocks in the half, which was honest.
In a parallel world, Howard has been blocked more than 1,200 times in his career, ranking ninth on the list of players with the most blocked shots in NBA history. Although his physical fitness is good, his offensive skills are too few, and he is blocked as soon as he turns around.
It's easy to catch him if you keep up, but with his body, he can't squeeze into the big shark.
Howard's offense is very powerful when he is attacking opponents. If the opponent cannot keep up with the speed, he can score a lot of points. Once the opponent resists and cannot hit the basket, he has no good way to score.
Howard and Kwame Brown are different. Kwame knows that he is a blue-collar worker and has no confidence at all offensively. He doesn't take many shots without the ball. Howard is a typical person who is addicted to food and wants more independent offensive opportunities.
Even if you can't score.
Howard also has advantages. He grabs a lot of rebounds. If he didn't share playing time with Mihm, he might become the rebounding leader. Since there are not many star centers in the West, Howard has a huge physical advantage in the penalty area.
In the second season of his career, the relationship between Howard and Kobe has become very tense, and they are unwilling to talk to each other.
Howard was disgusted that Kobe didn't pass the ball to him, and he was frustrated that the Lakers didn't train him. He was almost furious. He joked with his teammates, and Kobe would be dissatisfied. The atmosphere in the locker room would be like a prison.
Kobe was indeed disgusted with Howard's looseness and hated this type of person very much. Howard's character was very much like O'Neal's, he loved to express himself, he was always laughing and joking, but he didn't do anything right, he didn't train hard, and he didn't have the range to shoot.
The most irritating thing is that Howard's strength is not as good as O'Neal. Kobe always feels that his life is too miserable and is always teammates with such people. How can he succeed?
The hard-working Kobe made 12 of 30 shots, 0 of 8 three-pointers, 13 of 19 free throws, and scored 37 points, 8 rebounds, and 6 assists. He firmly believed that his teammates couldn't make shots, and he had to continue to take shots.
After the Christmas Day game, the SuperSonics continued to be as steady as a rock, defeating the Nuggets, Timberwolves, Grizzlies and other teams, and achieved a complete victory in December.
The away game against the Timberwolves best demonstrated the strength of the Sonics. They could still win even if their defense had problems.
Timberwolves' Szczerbiak made 12 of 18 shots, a shooting percentage of 66.7%; Garnett made 10 of 13 shots, a shooting percentage of 76.9%; Eddie Griffin made 8 of 11 shots, a shooting percentage of 72.7%.
At the end of the game, the Sonics won 125 to 108 by 17 points.
Yang Jian only scored 20 points and sent out 21 assists, leading seven SuperSonics players to score in double figures and have more success.
Yang Jian played pick-and-roll breakthroughs to attract Garnett's defense, and would pass the ball to teammates inside to attack. Brad Miller made 9 of 13 shots, 2 of 4 three-pointers, and 5 of 5 free throws. He scored 25 points, 13 rebounds, and 2 assists.
.
Turkoglu had 22 points, 5 rebounds and 2 assists, and David Lee also had 18 points and 6 rebounds.
Olavokandi is absent, and the Timberwolves do not have a center to protect the frame. Even if the "Sugar Man" can play, he will not have much effect on the defensive end, and he is not willing to defend the pick-and-roll.
This guy is one of the most famous parallel draft picks. After playing for many seasons, he is still a rough guy with no skills and no shooting. He has wasted his talent and is not far away from retirement.
Olavokandi's offensive end is so bad that it's unbelievable. He is a pure waste. As a 213cm high center with a strong body, his field goal percentage has never reached 45% in a single season, and his true shooting percentage has never reached 45%.
50%, peak 48%.
When Garnett took the break, he had no qualified substitute, only Mark Madson, nicknamed "Mad Dog". Looking at the statistics, he looked more like a Husky, averaging 1.2 points and 2.2 rebounds per game.
Garnett has long been fed up and wants to leave the Timberwolves. Here he can only rack up statistics but cannot win.
But the Timberwolves only have such a big-name star, and they cannot let him go easily. The Timberwolves cannot trade Garnett for half the team to complete the reconstruction. He has not broken through the first round of the playoffs, nor has he won the regular season MVP.
On January 1, another synaesthesia pill appeared in Yang Jian's system mall.
Although he and his girlfriends were already synesthetes, they still bought this prop. He had a feeling that he would need it in the future. If he didn't have it, it would be troublesome to wait for the prop to be refreshed.
Moreover, Yang Jian has a long-term plan and cannot just focus on himself.
He had a premonition that he could get a second synaesthesia sharing device in the future, so he kept some pills to be prepared. When his son Clark grows up and behaves well, Yang Jian can also give him a sharing device and let him set up his own "chat group."
At that time, he will have to explain the function of this black technology clearly, and he must find someone who is not related by blood. Children cannot be synesthetes together. Even a person as unscrupulous as him thinks this is too evil and cannot accept it.
The SuperSonics have begun another road trip to the Eastern Conference.
On January 2, the SuperSonics defeated the Pacers 137-91 in an away game.
Jermaine O'Neal and Ron Artest are out due to injuries, and the Pacers' lineup is not complete.
The Pacers' starting center is David Harrison, a heavy-weight white inside man selected No. 29 in the first round of 2004. He is 213cm tall, weighs 127kg and moves slowly.
The starting power forward is Austin Crohill, who has been around for many years and whose contract is too junk to be traded. At the end of this season, Austin's contract finally expired, which made the Pacers management breathe a sigh of relief.
Star guard Reggie Miller has never won a championship in his life. He sadly retired after last season. The news did not mention him too much. After the Pacers experienced the battle at Auburn Hills, the players no longer had the spirit to compete for the championship and were ready to start.
