Chapter 200 NBA and Hollywood: A Perfect Combination of Eastern and Western Cultures
At the end of January, the Knicks completed their regular schedule for the month.

The team has 11 wins and 5 losses this month, with a total of 37 wins and 12 losses, ranking first in the league.

The Lakers, who were first in the Western Conference at the end of last month, had a record of 6 wins and 9 losses this month. Their record began to decline sharply, and they gave up the first place in the Western Conference to the Spurs.

The Pacers' record began to decline, and they were overtaken by the Pistons and ranked third in the Eastern Conference.

Barkley accepted a television interview with TNT on the evening of the 31st and joked: "Now that the Knicks are back to the top of the league, can we say that the current situation in the league has changed from the East being weak and the West being strong to the East being strong and the West being weak?"

The All-Star voting has also ended. He Zhongqiu became the All-Star voting leader with 351 million votes, and Carter was second with 212 million votes.

Being the All-Star vote winner also means that he is the most popular and influential player among the hundreds of players in the league this season.

Yao Ming also received 148 million votes, once again higher than O'Neal's 145 million votes, becoming the starting center for the Western Conference All-Stars.

In addition, Nash also received 102 million votes, ranking fourth among Eastern Conference guards, lower than Kidd's 112 million votes, and was not selected as an All-Star starter.

He Zhongqiu felt that it was a pity for Nash, but there were too many excellent guards in the Eastern Conference. If he were in the Western Conference, he would definitely be selected as a starter. Francis received less than one million votes.

On the morning of the 1st, the league officially announced the All-Star starting lineup.

Eastern Conference All-Stars starting lineup: He Zhongqiu, O'Neal, Vince Carter, McGrady, Iverson
Western Conference All-Stars starters: Yao Ming, Duncan, Garnett, Kobe, Francis

At noon that day, the NBA announced a news that at the carnival before the All-Star Game, the All-Star voting champion Wolverine will perform a martial arts sparring show, and the names of Dwayne Johnson, Wu Jing, Zhang Jin and others were also announced at the same time.

This news quickly spread throughout the United States and the world through the Internet.

The participation of two top Hollywood action stars has created a chemical reaction against the backdrop of Hollywood culture invading the world. The impact of this news is much greater than that of the NBA All-Star Game.

He Zhongqiu was very satisfied with the result. This was the influence he wanted, and it was not in vain that Dwayne Johnson and Jason Statham were invited.

"The perfect combination of NBA and Hollywood. We look forward to seeing the spectacular performances of Wolverine and The Rock." The New York Times

"Eastern and Western cultures are combined through martial arts." Tokyo Daily.

"Wolverine Belongs to Korea." Korea Daily.

On that day, a Xinhua News Agency reporter interviewed He Zhongqiu, and then CCTV's 7 o'clock evening news reported the news for one minute.

All of a sudden, the names of He Zhongqiu, Johnson, Jason Statham, Wu Jing, Zhang Jin, and Wang Baoqiang appeared in the world's vision.

You have to know that in previous All-Star Games, even during Jordan's peak period, the audience in North America was only over 10 million people. After Jordan retired, the audience was only a few million people, and the influence was not that great at all.

"Wolverine, on behalf of the league, I want to thank you. I look forward to your martial arts performance becoming a regular feature of the NBA All-Stars..."

David Stern was so excited that he personally called He Zhongqiu to thank him for his contributions to the NBA.

Johnson was still filming and called to say, "Haha, Wolverine, you did a good job, but I have to do more. I want to be the main attacker and I want to beat you in the All-Star Game."

"Sure, as long as you can win." He said unhappily.

"Haha, just kidding, but my role can't be reduced." Johnson laughed.

"Don't worry, you are a top Hollywood star, and you have the most roles among the five of you," he said.

"OK."

"When will your scene be finished?"

"I'll be back to New York on the 4th."

"OK."

Jean-Claude Van Damme, who rejected him due to schedule constraints, called to express his regret and made an agreement with him that he must be counted as one of the All-Stars next year.

With such a huge influence, he, Johnson and Statham are just happy. After all, they have such great influence and popularity.

But Wu Jing and the other two were truly dumbfounded when faced with the overwhelming news reports from all over the world.

Then, their enthusiasm for rehearsal increased tenfold. They practiced non-stop throughout the night until they were exhausted, and they just smiled foolishly.

When Zhang Jin had nothing to do, he picked up his phone and wanted to call Dou Dou to tell her the news.

After filming "Water Moon Cave" last year, he fell in love with Cai Doudou, but for the sake of their careers, they agreed to keep their relationship secret and not expose it.

Compared with Cai Doudou, his career development is too poor and he feels a little inferior.

I had hoped that his career would advance after the broadcast of "Water Moon Cave Heaven", but "Water Moon Cave Heaven" has not yet started broadcasting. Now he has got such a big opportunity for exposure during the Mid-Autumn Festival.

But he was still a little hesitant. After all, this was just a martial arts performance and he didn't know how much it would help his career. So he dialed the number several times but never made the call.

On February 2nd, there was no competition, so He Zhongqiu practiced Twelve Forms Boxing for an hour and a half in the morning. After half a year, his Twelve Forms Boxing was finally upgraded from level 2 to level 2.

Unfortunately, there was no improvement in quality this time.

However, his Seven Star Flower Step also officially entered the great perfection realm, that is, the realm of Random Flower Step.

The essence of the so-called random flower arrangement is just one word: chaos.

A chaos that is unpredictable and ungraspable.

In the chaos without any rules, there are arbitrary changes of direction and unexpected sudden turns.

Next, he began to try to combine the low-post steps with the Seven Stars Steps, and also combined some techniques of Da Meng's dream steps.

After just half an hour, he had figured out some techniques.

"The host has mastered a unique low-position movement technique, proficiency +10000, and the level has been raised to level 94."

An hour later, he received a huge proficiency bonus.

"Host's comprehension deepens, low-level step proficiency +9000, level raised to level 97."

But this is not the end yet, his integration and comprehension are still continuing, and he achieved another improvement an hour later.

But the real surprise came at three o'clock in the afternoon. After several hours of integration, he truly integrated the random flower steps into the low-post steps, and the system gave him a big reward.

"Congratulations to the host, you have achieved a breakthrough in your understanding of low-position steps. You have mastered your own signature low-position step, the Chaos God Step."

"Balance +5, Reaction +1, Agility +1, Flexibility +2, Speed ​​+1."

"WC!"

After seeing this system prompt, he felt that he should practice Xingyiquan as soon as possible.

After looking at the information on the panel, I found that the low-post step item was no longer there, and a separate item of signature skills appeared below.

Currently, the only signature skill is Chaos God Step, and it has no levels.

Does this mean that his Chaos God Step can no longer be improved?
Also, should his bank shot also be listed as a signature skill? Is it because it is marked that it does not qualify as a signature skill?
Strength 96, Physical Fitness 93, Agility 85, Speed ​​75, Flexibility 85, Balance 90, Reaction 91, Will 96, Vision 90, Spatial Sense 95, Explosive Power 98, Muscles 118, Qi and Blood 118
This is his current quality. If he can truly improve Xingyiquan to level 4, or even perfection, there will definitely be great improvements.

"hehe!"

The Chaos God Step should have achieved the effect of the Big Dream's Dream Step, right?
Just then, the system prompt came out again, and he widened his eyes.

“低位步伐的提升，导致低位背打由81级提升到88级，低位面筐由90提升到92级，篮下破包夹能力由82提升到93级，上篮由85提升到90级，扣篮由94提升到95级，打板投篮由93提升到94级。”

"Due to the improvement of low-post offensive skills, the offensive ability under the basket has increased from 92 to 95, and the close shooting ability has increased from 86 to 88."

"Due to the improvement of low-post pace, single defense has increased from 88 to 92, and help defense and backup defense have increased from 69 to 80."

"WC, this is a huge improvement!"

Looking at the prompts on the panel, He Zhongqiu was inexplicably surprised.

He didn't expect that a Chaos God Step could improve his strength so much.

His offensive ability under the basket has finally reached the top level, and his close-range offensive ability is getting closer and closer to the first-rate level. His defense has also improved greatly due to the improvement of his pace, and his assisting and backup defense have reached the second-rate level.

In the first half of the season, his skills and abilities have improved, and now they have reached a higher level. There are still more than two months left, and before the playoffs, he will make another improvement.

However, we still need to plan carefully and focus on which technologies to break through in the next two months to be more helpful in the playoffs.

For example, low-post back-to-the-basket shots must be practiced intensively to improve to a first-class level before the playoffs.

There is also the need to further improve assisting and supplementing defense.

The most important thing is that his locust stone will be upgraded soon, and his mid-range shooting ability should be improved by then.

The improvement of his offensive and close-range shooting abilities can make him more threatening and more efficient in the restricted area, while his mid-range shooting ability can allow him to handle more shots.

In addition, the Chaos God Step should also allow him to reduce some of the confrontation in the attack, thereby reducing physical energy consumption.

"Sister Xue, do you have time to come over to the All-Stars? This year's All-Stars should be pretty good. My martial arts sparring makes quite a lot of noise."

"I saw it. The domestic media is all over the news. CCTV News has reported it. I would like to go, but I don't have the time!"

That night, He Zhongqiu contacted Yang Xue, but unfortunately Yang Xue had just joined the new crew and couldn't spare the time.

"Sister Xue, you don't have time for the playoffs, so take a leave this time. Go to Los Angeles on the 15th and return home on the 16th. It will only take two or three days." He Zhongqiu said.

"Oh well."

Yang Xue thought about it and it was true. She would be filming the Han Wu Emperor until May, and then film Xiao Yu Er and Hua Wu Que. She would definitely not have time to go to the United States during the playoffs. Then she said, "By the way, San Jin, Yi Fei's The Condor Heroes has just finished filming. I'll come with her and keep her company."

"It's up to you then. It's just a ticket."

"Sanjin, she almost drowned while filming The Return of the Condor Heroes a few days ago. This time it's a good opportunity to pull her out to relax." Yang Xue said.

"Was there an accident?" he asked curiously.

"The wire broke and she almost fell off the cliff. Fortunately, an assistant director and Huang Xiaoming saved her," said Yang Xue.

When He Zhongqiu was calling, Zhang Jin picked up the phone again. He wanted to call Doudou again.

But his hesitation came back, and he pressed the number several times but still couldn't make the call.

"Ding ding ding..."

Just then, the phone in my hand suddenly rang.

"Beans?"

As soon as he saw the caller ID, he quickly answered the call, and immediately Cai Doudou's angry voice was heard from the other end.

"Zhang Jin, okay, you didn't even tell me such a big thing, you, you, you, do you want to break up? Am I still your girlfriend?"

"No, no, what's the matter, Doudou?" He was instantly flustered and his mind was in a mess.

"Where are you now?"

"In the villa during the Mid-Autumn Festival, uh, I know, Doudou, it's like this..."

The two chatted for a few minutes before hanging up the phone.

Cai Doudou was very happy that her boyfriend had gotten such a big opportunity, with worldwide exposure and an income of $200,000, but she was still very worried.

Ah Jin just said that Wu Jing from the mainland said that he would follow Wolverine and become his team member in the future, and this is exactly what she was worried about.

Because A Jin is a member of the Yuan Clan, all his opportunities were given by Master Yuan Ba. Now that he is following Wolverine, will Master Yuan Ba ​​be angry?
Although Wolverine is famous, he is just a basketball player after all. Making movies is just a way to make money, and he has not achieved any results in Hollywood.

Can Ah Jin really make it big by following him and being his teammate? What if Wolverine fails in Hollywood and Ah Jin offends Master Yuan Ba, then it will be all over.

Although the fact that she and Ajin are in a relationship has not been exposed yet, some people in the circle know about it and are generally not optimistic about it.

First, Ajin is from the mainland, and second, Ajin's name is uncultured.

But she just likes Ah Jin. What's wrong with mainlanders? How many Hong Kong people didn't have ancestors from the mainland? How many big stars in Hong Kong weren't poor people before they became famous?
"Afen, did you fall into the toilet?"

"Coming."

Meng Jiahui's voice was heard outside, and she quickly responded.

She is currently in the crew of Armed Reaction IV, working with Ouyang Zhenhua, Meng Jiahui and others. She just finished putting on makeup in the morning and started work right away.

The two hurried out of the bathroom, and Meng Jiahui said, "Hey, Afen, your boyfriend..."

"Shh!"

Cai Dou Dou gestured quickly.

"Oh, there's no one else." Meng Jiahui said.

"Has A-Fen found a boyfriend?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ouyang Zhenhua came out of the men's restroom and asked with a gossipy look on his face.

"look?"

Cai Doudou glared at Meng Jiahui unhappily.

Meng Jiahui said nonchalantly: "Ouyang, Afen's boyfriend is Zhang Jin, a martial artist from the Yuan Clan, from the mainland."

Ouyang Zhenhua was startled, then said with a smile: "Not bad, mainlanders are not bad either. If you follow Master Yuan Ba, you will definitely have a good future."

At this point, he suddenly remembered something: "Zhang Jin, Zhang Jin..."

"The news that's been very popular these days is the martial arts show that will be performed by two of Hollywood's top action stars and Wolverine," Meng Jiahui reminded.

"Oh!"

Ouyang Zhenhua remembered. No wonder the name sounded so familiar. This news had dominated all the entertainment headlines in Hong Kong in the past two days.

"Afen, that's great. Your boyfriend is going to be rich by performing with Hollywood's top stars!" He congratulated her quickly.

"No, he's just a minor supporting role." Cai Dou Dou said happily.

"Afen, just be happy. They are Hollywood's top action stars, and there are two of them... No, that Wolverine should also be counted as one, right?" Meng Jiahui said enviously.

Ouyang Zhenhua said: “Wolverine has not had any movies released yet, so he is not considered a top action star in Hollywood.

But he is a famous person, otherwise how could two top Hollywood action stars accept his invitation to perform martial arts?
And it was one against five. He was an NBA All-Star, so he was definitely the protagonist. How could he let two first-line action stars play supporting roles? Tsk tsk, I'm afraid Brother Chenglong didn't have that either.

Ah Fen, wasn't there a news report last time saying that Wolverine was going to film a multi-million dollar production? Maybe your boyfriend could get a role in it."

Cai Dou Dou couldn't help but pound his palms. Oh, I forgot to ask just now. I wonder if A Jin has a chance?

……

On the 3rd, the Knicks faced their arch-rivals, the Pacers, at home.

At eight o'clock, both sides announced their starting lineups.

Pacers: Wang Zhizhi, Jermaine O'Neal, Al Harrington, Reggie Miller, Hinrich

Knicks: Mutombo, He Zhongqiu, Shane Battier, Bonzi Wells, Nash
Mutombo and DeRozan jump ball and the Knicks attack.

With his left elbow against O'Neal, He Zhongqiu was asking for the ball in the low post on the left wing.

The Pacers were simply unable to limit Nash from the outside, Reggie Miller was old, and Hinrich was still a rookie, so the ball was immediately passed in.

Nash now likes to cooperate with Wolverine more and more. Sometimes he uses the breakthrough and pass tactics, and sometimes Wolverine is in the low post and he only needs to pass the ball. He does not need to consume physical energy to break through, which is very beneficial for him who has not been in good physical condition.

The moment He Zhongqiu received the ball, the Chaos God Step was activated.

He first swung upwards, paused, then continued to turn upwards, then suddenly turned downwards and cut into the penalty area.

"Oh!"

O'Neal Jr. was thrown into disarray by the continuous fake moves and suddenly lost his balance and fell directly to the floor.

"boom!"

When he fell, He Zhongqiu had already completed a one-handed tomahawk slam dunk.

"Oh ho!"

The entire Madison Square Garden was in an uproar.

"My God, what did I see? Wolverine actually knocked down O'Neal?"

"Oh my god, has Wolverine developed a new skill?"

“Amazing, is this Wolverine’s dream footsteps?”

Countless fans immediately started talking, and the entire stadium was filled with a buzzing noise.

In the ESPN studio that broadcast the game live, commentator Bill Walton said in amazement: "My God, Wolverine trained with Ewing and actually learned the dream footwork of Dream?"

Steve Jones was equally surprised and said: "Incredible, did he master it suddenly? The media has never reported it."

"He must have been practicing it for a long time. Dream is Yao's coach, and Wolverine must have learned from Yao. Now that he has practiced it, he is using it." Bill Walton said.

In the next game, He Zhongqiu continued his surprising performance, dribbling past O'Neal three times and even knocking down Dazhi once.

He clocked in for three quarters and played for only 30 minutes in total, scoring 28 points, 12 rebounds and 6 blocks, with a hit rate of over 65% and 22% of his offense under the basket, leading the team to a -point victory over the Pacers.

After the game, Bill Walton said: "It is certain that the Wolverines have fully mastered a low-post pace similar to a dream pace.

This kind of pace is unpredictable, and you can't guess his next step at all, which makes it much more difficult for defenders to defend and also improves the Wolverines' offensive ability under the basket. "

On the sidelines, He Zhongqiu was being interviewed live by ESPN.

"Wolverine, is the step you used in this game a dream step?" the reporter asked.

“Drawing from the fantasy pace, but I’m sure you can tell the difference.”

Next, He Zhongqiu explained simply: "My pace is called Chaos Step. It is more irregular and unpredictable than the Fantasy Step. It has a larger range of movement and can be used in ball-holding offense."

"Chaos Steps?"

Through ESPN's reports, the name of Luanshenbu quickly became famous throughout the world.
