Chapter 231
"Hey, brother!"
"How long has it been since we met!"
"Fortunately, none of us asked for leave on the 23rd."
3 month 28 day.
At the end of March, the Wizards won the penultimate game of 3 consecutive away games, challenging the Los Angeles Lakers.
As soon as he arrived at Staples, O'Neal rushed over and gave Zhou Yao a big hug.
On March 3, the Wizards challenged the Warriors away, and the Lakers challenged the Spurs away.
Also on March 3, is the 23th Academy Awards ceremony.
This year's Oscars, Zhou Yao won 5 nominations for his new film.
Best Picture, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor.
But this time, neither Zhou Yao nor O'Neill nor Kobe asked for leave to attend the awards ceremony.
"It was a big win last time."
"It would be nice if there were nominations for the sequel."
"Let's not think about winning prizes or anything."
To be honest, if Zhou Yao hadn't reminded him, O'Neill really wanted to join in the fun.
As the season draws to a close, he can also take the opportunity to take a break.
Moreover, last year it was the leading actor, so he won the award.
This year it's only a male supporting role, shouldn't it be more worthy of an award?
But forget it, he is not the protagonist this year anyway.
Zhou Yao said that there will be a third part during the offseason, so he will be the protagonist again.
Although Zhou Yao still didn't give him the script of the third part.
At least the name of the movie was revealed to him, "Must Win!"Chef O's Champion Sushi". .
Since it is named after Chef O'Neal, of course he is O'Neill as the hero.
It finally reassured him a lot.
Importantly, the second "Champion's Big Mac Sushi" was once again a box office hit.
It has been predicted that the box office of the second part will not be worse than that of the first part.
That is more than 4 million box office.
What O'Neal can get is more than 4000 million.
O'Neill has some ideas about what to do with the money.
For this reason, he called Zhou Yao several times.
And, even though he didn't like Kobe very much, he discussed the issue with Kobe.
After all, Bryant has the same amount of money to deal with this time around.
"Why don't we invest the money in Zhou Yao's company directly?"
"We don't know much else."
"Before, I invested a sum of money in Universal Enterprise."
"However, we don't understand how this kind of investment company operates."
"This time, I think we might as well just put all our money into Tycoon Pictures."
"There is news that Tycoon Films is seeking to go public."
"It doesn't matter if it's not listed."
"That kid is simply a genius at this."
"It's not just the movies we make."
"Recently there are TV dramas broadcasting, and I heard that the ratings are good."
"Even if Tycoon Pictures doesn't go public in the end, the money we can get will not be small."
"Besides, it seems a pity that such a profitable company is not listed."
O'Neill originally had this idea.
Hearing what Kobe said, he made up his mind.
……
Business is business, games are games.
He has already signed a brokerage contract with O'Neill Entertainment.
Now Kobe's agency contract has also been signed, of course, it is also limited to entertainment.
The private relationship is also excellent.
But when it's game time, everyone still wants to see the red bayonet.
The Wizards are 46 wins and 25 losses, securing the No. [-] position in the Eastern Conference.
The Lakers are 41 wins and 30 losses. If they are in the East, they are also a stable playoff team.
Unfortunately, the Lakers are in the West.
Such a record, not to mention the fans have opinions.
The fact is that if the Lakers are a little negligent, they may not even make it to the playoffs.
Moreover, the Wizards are already the last Eastern team that the Lakers need to face in the regular season.
In the next 10 games, all Western teams will be played.
At the beginning of the game, Kobe assisted O'Neal to complete the dunk.
Zhou Yao passed the ball to Arenas, but was also cut off by Kobe.
Then he hit a three-pointer under Zhou Yao's defense.
Zhou Yao dribbled the ball across the half court again.
Boozer's hit rate is as high as 95%.
Zhou Yao also passed the ball immediately.
However, with a 95% shooting rate, Boozer did not score the ball.
After all, the Lakers have O'Neal as an inside killer.
A goal that was supposed to be scored was abruptly slapped down by O'Neal.
"What a fast traverse speed!"
Zhou Yao only had time to utter a word of emotion.
He had to chase Fisher all the way to the backcourt.
Fisher also knew his own strength and didn't stick to the ball too much.
Fox is in a good position and the ball is passed.
Fox is also shooting 37.5 percent from [-]-point range this season.
This gave him a lot of confidence.
Before O'Neal ran to the position, Fox had already made a three-pointer.
The ball goes in.
The Lakers lead 8:0.
……
Collins did not choose to call a timeout.
Just to signal the players to be steady and not to worry.
The game has only just begun.
Although it is 8 points behind, there are still points to chase.
It is unwise to blindly speed up the pace or shoot three-pointers.
the next round.
Arenas began to use off the ball running, but with little success.
Jordan, Boozer, and Wang Zhizhi all provided Arenas with off-ball screens.
However, Arenas did not get rid of Fisher who defended him.
Jordan was also guarded to death by Kobe.
Insiders also have no chance.
Phil Jackson also made a strange move.
Let the white forward Mark Madsen defend Zhou Yao.
Madsen's defensive level is average, and he is also a player who has little firepower away from the basket.
But now, it was such a guy who actually restrained Zhou Yao.
"Pay attention to his three-pointers!"
Off the court, Jackson shouted loudly.
Jackson's method of dealing with Zhou Yao is very simple.
It is to limit Zhou Yao's passes to other players.
Separate Zhou Yao from other players.
Jackson tried to use Kobe to defend Zhou Yao last season.
Some effects have been received, but the Lakers were still swept out of the finals.
This time, Jackson wanted to take advantage of Zhou Yao's inaccurate shooting.
Madsen's defensive ability is average, but he is not completely defenseless.
In Jackson's view.
The defensive pressure that Madsen can exert is more than enough.
Although it can't completely limit Zhou Yao's three-pointer.
However, Zhou Yao's three-pointer alone cannot kill the game.
At least, Jackson thought so.
It's just that nine out of ten people are unsatisfactory in life.
With no chance to pass the ball, Zhou Yao made the shot himself.
The NBA standard B-level shooting ability is actually not that weak anymore.
Zhou Yao made a shot from beyond the three-point line.
8: 3.
"Good defense!"
I didn't expect Madsen to completely guard against Zhou Yao.
It can force Zhou Yao to make a move when it is close to 24 seconds.
Although the ball was still scored, Jackson is quite satisfied...
