Chapter 147 One day I will rush to the front line and let you underestimate me?

At this time, He Zhongqiu was accepting a post-match interview from TNT TV on the sidelines, and he became the best player of the game again.

"Wolverine, 9 blocks, wow, what made your defense so good tonight?" the reporter said in amazement.

"Haha, it's time to perform again, I love it."

He Zhongqiu did not answer immediately. After saying this happily in his heart, the expression on his face gradually subsided, as if he was feeling something. Then he said with a hint of respect:

"It's the Koreans who had the courage to build a country on an American military base. Why can't I win a victory at the Palace of Auburn Hills?"

"Ha ha……"

Before he could finish his words, a large group of people squatted down and laughed.

After laughing, the TNT reporter kindly reminded: "Wolverine, you are wrong. Our military base is built on their territory."

The expression on He Zhongqiu's face instantly turned into shock, extremely shocking. After a few seconds of shock, it turned into disappointment. He said in disappointment:

"So that's how it is. I really misjudged them. I thought they were heroes, but I didn't expect that they were just dogs of the United States."

"Ha ha……"

A large group of Americans laughed triumphantly.

He Zhongqiu was also somewhat proud. Over the past few months, he had been dealing with this group of reporters every day, and his acting skills had become even more perfect.

These idiots really think they don’t know Korea. Even if I don’t know Korea, the Syngman Rhee group in South Korea must know it, right?

"Cough cough..."

At this time, Philip reminded in Mandarin: "Zhongqiu, from the perspective of an audience, I think your expression is a bit exaggerated. You need a more natural performance."

"is it?"

He Zhongqiu followed suit and immediately restrained the expression on his face.

The CIC King and the Madman were in very good moods. After returning to the locker room, they continued to talk and laugh.

The two scored 21 points and 16 points respectively today. The main reason is that their efficiency is pretty good. The mid-range shooting king is 48.4% and the madman is 44.4%, which is higher than their previous efficiency.

“Coach, who wins, the Nets or the numbers team?”

Back in the locker room, He Zhongqiu asked while changing his clothes.

"The Nets, four to one, they have already made it to the Eastern Conference Finals," Thibodeau said.

He Zhongqiu paused while taking off his shoes, then immediately said, "It will be our turn to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals the day after tomorrow night."

"Eastern Finals."

The CIC King was very excited.

He participated in the Knicks' two advance trips to the Eastern Conference Finals in 99 and 00, but Ewing was still there at the time and he was not the leader.

Now he is still the leader of the Knicks, at least in name. If they can make it to the Eastern Conference Finals again, it will prove his ability to lead the team.

An hour later, a press conference was held.

The Pistons' side was dead silent, with only a dozen or so reporters, most of whom were from local media, and the rest were from several major sports media outlets such as ESPN and TNT.

"Coach Carlisle, the Pistons have lost three games in a row and lost the match point. Do you have anything to say about this?" The TNT reporter asked the first question.

Rick Carlisle looked a little gloomy. He put his hands together on the table and kept spinning his thumbs in circles.

He lowered his head and was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Tonight, we ran into a monster. He had 4 steals and 9 blocks. This is a defensive performance that only super center Hakeem Olajuwon could produce. Unfortunately, we ran into him in the most crucial Game 5."

At this point, he was silent for a few seconds before continuing: "Our series has become very difficult. Game 6 is their home court, which is very difficult."

"I will not give up."

At this time, Ben Wallace spoke up with a hoarse voice.

"Yeah, like Ben said, we're not going to give up."

Rick Carlisle turned around and glanced at Ben Wallace, nodded, a strange firmness gradually emerged on his face, and said in a deep voice:
"In order to win the series and advance to the Eastern Conference Finals, we will have a life-and-death battle with the Knicks in Game 6. We want to bring back a victory from Madison Square Garden."

"Ben, what do you think of Wolverine now?" the next reporter asked.

Ben Wallace was silent for almost ten seconds. Just when the reporter thought he would not answer, he said: "In the future, he has the opportunity to become the next super center."

"Oh!"

The reporters exclaimed.

This was said by the DPOY. Although Ben Wallace is an idiot on the offensive end, he is definitely a top-notch strong man on the defensive end. Such people think that Wolverine will be the next super center?
At noon on May 5, the Knicks boarded a special plane.

Since the end of last night's game, under the leadership of the New York media, the media began to praise the Knicks, especially He Zhongqiu who performed well.

He specifically asked Philip to prepare a large stack of newspapers for him, and after getting on the plane he read the newspapers under Philip's guidance.

"Ahem, comrades, now is the time to learn from He Zhongqiu's advanced deeds."

"The New York Times reports that the great Wolverine was in last night's Game 5..."

"TNT reports that Ben Wallace believes Wolverine will be the next super center..."

In order to let the whole team know his greatness in the game last night, he read the newspaper so loudly that it could even be heard in the cockpit, which was extremely annoying.

The madman said unhappily, "Come on, Wolverine, can you read silently?"

He Zhongqiu immediately entered performance mode and said apologetically, "Sorry, dear Latrell, because I tried too hard in the game, my silent reading mode was damaged in the G5 game."

"Ha ha……"

Laughter immediately broke out in the cabin.

"Can you stop mentioning last night's game?" the madman said helplessly.

He immediately said in a serious tone, "Comrade Sprewell, forgetting the past means betrayal. Your thoughts are very dangerous! You must reform yourself."

"Ha ha……"

Everyone burst into laughter, and the madman also laughed helplessly.

……

He Zhongqiu didn't arrive home until 5:30 in the afternoon.

Mary was preparing dinner. Yang Xue was not there. She was playing with Lao Liu and said she would be back after dinner.

After having dinner with Philip and studying English for a while, Yang Xue drove back at seven o'clock.

"Three pounds."

"Sister Xue, where did you go today?" he asked casually.

"Hehe, she took me to some famous filming locations in New York and took a lot of photos." Yang Xue said with a smile.

After chatting with Yang Xue for a while, he went to bed and didn't even plan to watch the two Western Conference games tonight.

I was so excited during last night's game, flying and jumping all the time. The aftereffect is that my whole body is sore. Coupled with the lack of sleep, I haven't recovered after a day. I flew for a few more hours and I am very tired after persisting until now.

That night, the Lakers played against the Spurs in Game 5, while the Mavericks played against the Kings in Game 6. In the end, the Spurs defeated the Lakers at home, winning by only two points. They are currently leading the Lakers - and have won the match point.

At the same time, the Kings also defeated the Mavericks at home and regained the match point. The two teams will play a tiebreaker at the Mavericks' home court.

He Zhongqiu slept until he was woken up by the urge to urinate. It was already two o'clock in the morning. Then he continued to sleep, and when he woke up it was already eight o'clock in the morning on the 15th.

I got enough sleep, my qi and blood were super strong, and my will was strong, so I was in a very good mental state after waking up.

But the feeling of fatigue all over the body is still very strong, which indicates that the physical recovery is not ideal.

In fact, his muscles and bones are super strong, so he doesn't feel overly tired. The fatigue in his body comes from the muscles all over his body.

Physical fitness is a complex quality that includes muscle endurance, strength, speed, agility, flexibility, cardiopulmonary function and other qualities.

His other qualities are very good, but his muscle endurance is not good, and his cardiopulmonary function is also poor. These two items affect his physical fitness.

Martial arts and basketball are two completely different sports. The martial arts he practices mainly trains tendons, bones, qi and blood, not muscles.

His cardiopulmonary function is better than his muscular endurance. This is because there are breathing skills in martial arts, and his qi and blood are strong. This function is not bad, but it does not meet the physical requirements of the NBA.

……

On the evening of the 15th, Madison Square Garden was star-studded.

The Knicks had poor results in the first two seasons and didn't even make the playoffs last year. This year, the Knicks have a chance to advance to the Eastern Conference Finals, so the fans are very happy. For the crucial Game 6, ticket prices doubled again and were sold out.

There are also many NBA stars watching the game tonight, such as Michael Jordan, Alonzo Mourning, Larry Johnson, Isaiah Thomas, as well as Kidd and several main players of the Nets, as well as the Nets head coach Byron Scott.

Scarlett Johansson, who is a little famous, is not a top star enough. Even the die-hard fans of the Knicks have never been invited. She could only buy a second-row ticket tonight.

What a coincidence, she sat with Yang Xue again.

"Yifei, when will your Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils be broadcast?"

“In July, the premiere was on July 6th, and the crew urged me to go back for promotions, so I had to go back in a few days.

After the promotion of Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils, I can rest for a long time. I won't have any more movies to shoot until next year. Sister Xue, what about you? Are you going to watch the monk's game before you go back?"

"If he can make it to the Eastern Conference Finals, I have to watch it before I go back. Anyway, my movie will not start shooting until the middle of next month, so there is still a month left, so it's not too urgent.

But recently, thanks to San Jin's help, my agency has offered me several TV series, so I will be busy after finishing this movie."

Yang Xue and Liu Yifei sat together, each eating an ice cream and chatting while eating.

Because of the damn Wolverine, Scarlett Johansson originally didn't want to pay attention to Yang Xue, but she couldn't help but stretched out her hand and said:

"Hey, Miss Yang Xue, hello, I'm Scarlett Johansson."

"Oh, hello." Yang Xue hurriedly shook hands.

"I'm an actor too," Scarlett Johansson said with a smile.

"Oh?"

Yang Xue nodded hurriedly and took a closer look, but couldn't remember it. She said awkwardly, "Sorry, I don't watch many American movies."

Scarlett Johansson suddenly felt frustrated and a little angry. After all, I am considered a second-tier star. Is my popularity so low?
Humph, one day I will make a commercial blockbuster, rush to the forefront of Hollywood, and let this little actor from China know my name.

"By the way, Miss Yang Xue, why are you sitting here? Not there? Didn't Wolverine make arrangements for you?"

She pointed to the second row, then to the first row, and asked curiously.

Yang Xue hurriedly explained: "I have a companion, so I exchanged the first-row ticket for two second-row tickets."

"crooked?"

Scarlett Johansson looked at Yang Xue as if she were an idiot and thought to herself, you are really stupid, that is the front row of Madison Square Garden, the most dazzling seat in the world.

"how?"

Yang Xue looked at Scarlett Johansson with innocent eyes and asked.

Scarlett Johansson said hurriedly: "Oh, that's it, Miss Yang Xue, if the next game, such as the seventh game or the Eastern Conference Finals, yes, you can give me the front row ticket. This is my business card. Twenty thousand dollars is OK?"

"That's not good. My front-row ticket was given to me by the Knicks." Yang Xue said hesitantly.

Scarlett Johansson beguiled: "No one will say anything about you, 30,000 dollars is OK?"

Thirty thousand dollars is enough to buy half of a four-bedroom apartment. This is the amount she has saved after three years of filming. But Yang Xue does not plan to change it. If she does, how will she explain to Sanjin?

And she won't be short of this little money in the future. She will go back to shoot a commercial for Lancome. She will also be in several movies in the second half of next year, and her pay will double.

Liu Yifei was also very kind-hearted. He leaned over and whispered, "Sister Xue, don't change the money. If you do, the Knicks will have an opinion of the monk, and the monk will also have an opinion of you..."

"Feel sorry."

Yang Xue nodded, then rejected Scarlett Johansson.

Scarlett Johansson was a little disappointed. She looked at Yang Xue and Liu Yifei unhappily and ignored them.

At this time, Jordan was interviewed by several reporters and chatted with several Hollywood stars, and happened to see Yang Xue.

"Hey, Miss Yang Xue." He walked over and waved his hand.

The last time he played cards in the Knicks' locker room, he lost more than $10,000 to Yang Xue. The key point was that he didn't win any of the cards and was beaten to a bloody pulp by Yang Xue. For someone with such a strong competitive spirit like him, he naturally had a deep impression of Yang Xue.

"Hey, Mr. Jordan." Yang Xue quickly stood up and shook hands.

"Didn't you go play cards?"

Jordan asked, making a gesture of touching mahjong tiles.

Yang Xue pointed at Liu Yifei and said, "It's not convenient. I have a companion."

Jordan nodded to Liu Yifei and said to Yang Xue, "When can we arrange another game?"

"OK."

Yang Xue smiled and nodded.

It was eight o'clock at this time, the TV live broadcast began, and the commentary booth also received the starting lineups of the two teams.

Detroit Pistons: Ben Wallace, Clifford Robinson, Michael Curry, Richard Hamilton, Chauncey Billups
Knicks: He Zhongqiu, Kurt Thomas, Sprewell, Alan Houston, Howard Ellis
The guest of this game is no longer Larry Bird, but the Mailman Karl Malone who was eliminated in the first round.

Larry Bird has just taken over the Pacers and is facing a rebuild. All the players have been thrown onto the shelf by him. He is actually very busy. If it weren't for the money, he wouldn't be a commentator.

The Postman Karl Malone is quite free. His contract with the Jazz has ended and he is now a completely free agent, looking for his next home.

In his opinion, the Western Conference teams, such as the Spurs and the Lakers, still have the best chance of winning the championship next season.

The Spurs have twin towers, the Lakers have the OK combination, and the Eastern Conference teams are generally weak.

He has no chance to join the Spurs because they have twin towers. If he joins, he can only play as a substitute, which is not what he wants.

So the next team he considered was the Lakers. After all, the Lakers had just won three consecutive championships. In order to realize his dream of winning the championship, he could rely on the OK combination.

However, his old brother John Stockton did not want him to leave the Jazz and told him in person that if he left, he would choose to retire.

This makes him very embarrassed, so he has not publicly announced his departure from the Jazz until now. He hopes that time can change his old brother's mind.
