Chapter 201 Wolverine, You Have to Give Me an Explanation

On the 4th, Dwayne Johnson returned to New York.

He has a residence in New York and had been filming there. Now that the filming is finished, he rushed back to rehearse with He Zhongqiu and others.

However, He Zhongqiu has almost no time during the day, and he is not in New York when playing away games, so he can only rehearse at night when playing at home.

It just so happened that they played a home game on the 3rd, and the next game was on the 7th against the Heat away, so when Johnson arrived, He Zhongqiu was at home.

At noon, Johnson came to He Zhongqiu's house for lunch. When they met, he said happily: "Wolverine, I never thought that this martial arts performance would have such a big impact. If there is a chance in the future, can we make an action movie together?"

"Okay, if this cooperation goes well, let's discuss the film cooperation, OK?" He Zhongqiu said.

"OK, it's a deal."

Johnson then asked, "Where's that guy Jason? He hasn't been filming recently, why hasn't he come to report yet?"

"He also has things to do. He will come tomorrow. We have an appointment." He Zhongqiu said.

Sure enough, the next morning, Jason Statham rushed over and joined the martial arts rehearsal.

David Stern has been promoting the martial arts sparring performances. After learning that Johnson and Statham had arrived, he specially sent a Hollywood photography team to He Zhongqiu's home to shoot some sparring shots, which were then promoted on major TV stations and the NBA official website.

……

On February 2th, with the All-Star Weekend approaching, a deal took place.

The Trail Blazers traded team leader Rasheed Wallace to the Hawks.

This news is not surprising as the Trail Blazers wanted to trade Rasheed Wallace last season.

The trade deadline is Thursday of Week 16, which is February 2th after the All-Star Game this season, and trades can be made before early morning on February 19th.

So this is the last period of time when trades can be made, and teams looking to make trades are becoming particularly active.

On February 2, the Knicks played their last game before the All-Stars, with a record of 11 wins and 41 losses, ranking first in the league.

"It's not that we are strong enough, but that our opponents are too weak."

Up to now, the records of several strong teams in the Western Conference have been neither good nor bad. He Zhongqiu came to this conclusion, which also made his ambitions for the playoffs begin to expand.

In the East, the Nets are clearly in poor shape, with the Pacers and Pistons being their only two rivals.

The Pacers had a good record in the early stages, once ranking second in the league, but their performance began to decline in January and they lacked stamina.

He was confident when playing against the Pacers because the Pacers' core player, O'Neal, would become weak in the knees when he saw him.

Playing against the Pistons is a bit troublesome. The Pistons' defense is much more mature than last season. The tight and fierce double-teaming from the outside, Ben Wallace's strong backup and one-on-one defense make Nash's breakthrough lose its sharpness.

The Knicks lost two of the previous three regular season games, but won the third after Battier joined, so there is still a chance.

Although the Pistons' defense is strong, Nash's pass cannot be locked down. As long as the ball can come in, with his current strength, he can completely blow Ben Wallace into pieces in the low post. I don't believe that we can't beat the Pistons.

As for the defensive end, the Knicks' defensive system is already quite complete. With Battier and Wells filling in for Nash, the Pistons' offensive capabilities shouldn't pose any major problems.

In the Western Conference, although the Timberwolves, Lakers and Spurs are strong, their form this season is average. The Knicks are not afraid now. As long as they can make it to the finals, they can beat anyone.

O'Neal, Duncan, and Garnett, although these three are strong, his strength has improved a lot now, especially his top-level offense under the basket, which makes him full of confidence.

When he first entered the league, his strength of level 95 was already the best in the entire league, which shows that the top level recognized by the system is of very high quality.

Now his basket offense has reached level 95, so he believes that his basket offense should also reach the top level in the league.

The best player in the league in terms of offensive power under the basket is O'Neal, who ranks first in dominance in history. He may not be as good as O'Neal in his peak state, but the current O'Neal, who has a 95-level offensive power under the basket, may not be inferior to him.

He checked and found that O'Neal's career field goal percentage at the basket is currently 75.1%. He reached his peak at 00% in the 01/79.2 season, and this season it is 73.1%, which is no longer at his peak.

Duncan's career average in the paint is currently 71%, with a peak of 71.4% and 71.2% this season. He is very stable, but not as dominant as O'Neal in the paint.

In the last five games, that is, the five games after he mastered the Chaos God Step, his offensive shooting percentage under the basket reached 77.5%, which is only slightly lower than O'Neal's peak state and a significant improvement over before.

This is the biggest source of his confidence. No matter how his close and mid-range shooting abilities improve, attacking under the basket is his biggest reliance.

Even if he increases his close and mid-range shots in order to take more shots, his offense under the basket is the biggest card in his hand and the ability that determines everything.

打到现在，他的场均数据是29.2分12.2篮板1.8助攻1.5抢断3.1盖帽2.8失误2.9犯规。

His scoring is consistently ranked first in the league, and following him is McGrady, who has a chance to compete for the scoring title this season.

In the evening, Zhang Jin called Cai Doudou and asked her if she wanted to watch the All-Star Game.

He really hopes that his girlfriend can be by his side when he is in glory, even if she can't be exposed and just sit on the sidelines.

Cai Doudou, who was filming, thought about it for a while and said, "Forget it, Jin, it's hard for me to ask for leave, and I heard that it's hard to get NBA All-Star tickets. You just started to follow Wolverine, so don't meddle in other people's business. It will be troublesome if he is unhappy."

Zhang Jin thought about it and said nothing more.

"Jin, um, is Wolverine really going to make a big-budget movie?"

Cai Doudou did not ask Zhang Jin directly if he had a chance. If not, asking directly would hurt Zhang Jin's face, so she could only ask indirectly.

"Oh, yes, he asked me to go for an audition after the All-Stars. Doudou, I'll tell you the good news if I pass the audition." Zhang Jin said hurriedly.

"Really? Oh, that's great!" Cai Dou Dou said happily.

……

This year's All-Star Game was held in Los Angeles. On the 12th, He Zhongqiu and six others flew to Los Angeles.

After this period of rehearsal, both Dwayne Johnson and Statham gave up the idea of ​​being the protagonist, because they were no match for He Zhongqiu. They were abused countless times during rehearsals and could only play supporting roles.

The All-Star Weekend begins and all the All-Stars stay at the Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles.

The same goes for Johnson and Wu Jing. As performing guests, they receive the best treatment and all have single rooms.

CCTV also sent live commentators for this All-Star Game. Zhang Heli partnered with Xu Jicheng and Yang Jian. Xu and Yang have already arrived in Los Angeles. He Zhongqiu and Dayao received several people.

They rehearsed during the day, and at night He Zhongqiu booked a business room, gathered a large group of people together, and set up three mahjong tables.

Jordan also came to the Hilton Hotel, found He Zhongqiu and others, and joined the mahjong battle.

"Wolverine, isn't your sister coming? I lost a lot of money to her, and she needs a chance to make it up to me." he asked.

"She is very busy filming and won't be able to get here until the 15th," said He Zhongqiu.

"OK, let me know when she arrives. I will make up for it." Jordan said with a smile.

"Haha, it just so happens that my sister wants to buy a few more houses." He Zhongqiu laughed.

"That doesn't necessarily mean I lose."

Jordan was very unconvinced, but he said, "By the way, Wolverine, I plan to visit China in May."

"You are going there to sue, right?"

"NO, of course not. I went to meet my Chinese fans, and the lawsuit was just a side trip."

"Don't mess around. Behave yourself in China, okay? Don't pick up girls, especially in the Haidian District. That's my territory."

"Hey, who do you think I am?"

"Don't everyone call you an old rogue?"

"Damn it, Wolverine, I'm not called Old Rogue, I'm called Flying Man, please don't give me a random nickname, what if it gets out?"

"Don't worry. We are actually the same kind of people. You are an old gangster, and I am a young gangster. We are just like the postman. We are not good people."

Jordan was speechless. He didn't understand why he had become a gangster? Why wasn't he a good person? When did he become the same level as Wolverine Mailman?

At this time, Kobe, O'Neal and a group of All-Stars came over.

"Hey, Kobe, how's your lawsuit going?" He Zhongqiu greeted quickly.

"you?"

Kobe's face turned dark in an instant, and he glared at He Zhongqiu with angry eyes.

Zhang Heli and Dayao are also helpless. It's Mid-Autumn Festival after all. Los Angeles is Kobe's territory. You are bringing up things that are irrelevant!

He Zhongqiu said sincerely: "Kobe, I'll give you a piece of advice. Next time you go out to play, give people more money. Money can make the devil go away. Look at Shark, no one bothers him." "Wolverine, why did you mention me?"

O'Neal's eyes widened and he wanted to sit on Wolverine to death.

"Ha ha!"

Jordan couldn't help laughing, and when he took the lead, the others started laughing too.

Kobe's face turned red, which meant that he couldn't beat Wolverine, otherwise he would have punched him hard.

"Humph!"

He snorted angrily, turned around and left the room.

"I didn't say anything. I just reminded him kindly."

He Zhongqiu explained and reminded Jordan: "Michael, it's the same for you. You have to pay enough money outside. Don't save this little money.

By the way, especially don’t mess with Tyson’s women again, he will beat you to death.

But remember, we are friends, if he wants to hit you, just come to me and I will help you deal with him."

"Can you shut up?"

Jordan's old face fell instantly. Wolverine, you country bumpkin, are you making fun of me?
"Ha ha……"

The business room burst into laughter.

"Duoduo!"

There was a knock on the door, and the sound of high heels was very rhythmic. Everyone looked and saw two young and beautiful women coming in.

He Zhongqiu looked at it and thought, OK, Paris and Ivanka, are they trying to mess with him again? How did these two women find him?

"Wolverine, we have a business deal to discuss with you." Paris hooked her fingers and said with a smile.

"What about your business?" He Zhongqiu asked.

"uh-huh."

"OK, I do have some cash on hand lately."

He Zhongqiu left with the two girls and went to the presidential suite on the top floor. He sighed, "You two are so brave. You two dare to come to me. Aren't you afraid that I will kill you and make you unable to go out to the ground for ten days?

To tell you the truth, I have been single for more than two months. If you get hurt tonight, don’t blame me for being merciless.”

The two girls looked at each other, and there was a hint of determination in their eyes.

……

On the 13th, the All-Star Weekend officially begins.

There were activities throughout the day, and in the evening there were events such as the Rookie Game, the Skills Game, and the Three-Point Contest.

He Zhongqiu was going to perform a martial arts show, so he only attended the morning press conference during the day and did not participate in any other activities. He just rehearsed with Johnson and others.

Johnson and Statham have become addicted to martial arts rehearsals. They are very interested in Kung Fu themselves, and Hollywood's requirements for fighting scenes are getting higher and higher. Crews with such requirements usually invite action directors and stunt teams from Hong Kong.

They are willing to participate in the performance in the hope of learning something from it.

Of course, the bigger reason is that they want to know more about Wolverine's Kung Fu, which is the most attractive to them.

In the evening, He Zhongqiu and his group of six appeared at the Staples Center, but he did not participate in the evening events and only watched them on the spot.

Even though it was not the main competition, the scene was star-studded with Hollywood stars flocking to the event.

He, Johnson and Wu Jing were the center of attention wherever they went, surrounded by the media, a large group of players and Hollywood stars.

Wang Baoqiang, Wu Jing and Zhang Jin were so excited that their hands and feet were shaking. It was their first time experiencing such a grand scene.

"Hey, Wolverine, you have to give me an explanation, why don't you cooperate with me?" Tom Cruise yelled.

"Handsome guy, you are so handsome. I'm afraid you will steal my limelight." He Zhongqiu said unhappily.

"Ha ha!"

Tom Cruise nodded with satisfaction.

"Wolverine, why don't you look for me?" Stallone complained.

"Forget about you. I'm going to beat you up. All Americans will have to settle with me. After all, you are the invincible Rambo." He Zhongqiu said.

Stallone chuckled and said, "Boy, you know how to talk."

"Wolverine, are you afraid that you can't beat me?" Lundgren raised his fist.

"It's no problem if you want to be beaten. Next year, next year we will work together." He Zhongqiu said immediately.

"Keep your word." Long Geer extended his fist.

"It's a deal." He Zhongqiu bumped his fists.

At this time, a group of female stars led by Roberts came over, rudely pushed away Stallone's group of rough guys, and surrounded He Zhongqiu.

"Wolverine, why didn't you invite me to the card game last night?" Roberts said rather dissatisfiedly.

"Honey, why don't we make an appointment tonight?" He Zhongqiu suddenly said affectionately.

"Ha ha……"

Everyone present burst into laughter.

Being teased in public, Roberts rolled his eyes and smiled helplessly.

Alba came over and hugged He Zhongqiu, and whispered in his ear: "Wolverine, Ivanka was hospitalized last night. I heard that her fallopian tube ruptured. What happened?"

"It has nothing to do with me, why are you asking me?" He Zhongqiu said hurriedly.

Alba opened her heart to congratulate him on the Mid-Autumn Festival, thinking, "Is it really nothing to do with you?" Who doesn't know that Ivanka stayed at the Hilton Hotel last night?

Hathaway came up and hugged him, then whispered, "Wolverine, can we go see Ivanka together sometime?"

"Well, okay, I admit that I have seen her. If you want to see her, go by yourself." He Zhongqiu said awkwardly.

Alba and Hathaway couldn't help but giggle.

"Hello, Mid-Autumn Festival." A woman said in Mandarin.

He Zhongqiu turned around and saw that this person was Zhang Ziyi, a top star in China who broke into Hollywood with the movie Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

"Hello."

The two shook hands.

Zhang Ziyi came all the way from China specifically to join in the fun because this NBA All-Star martial arts performance was quite a big deal.

Not to mention the three domestic young martial arts actors, two Hollywood first-line action stars have joined the cast. When she first saw the news, she was a little bit unbelieving.

After the news of He Zhongqiu's movie came out last time, she contacted Yang Xue. As an international actress, she invited a domestic second-tier actress to dinner, which was very respectful.

Unfortunately, Yang Xue didn't give her face and turned down the dinner, which made her very angry.

Just now, seeing so many top Hollywood stars surrounding He Zhongqiu, she felt that this trip was worthwhile and it was very necessary to establish a relationship with He Zhongqiu.

However, He Zhongqiu was too busy. After chatting with her briefly, he left her to greet other friends and acquaintances.

Ross Lewis was also present, discussing some topics related to Mid-Autumn Festival with a group of big Hollywood producers.

These are all big-name producers who represent various film companies and hope to cooperate with He Zhongqiu and create scripts specifically for He Zhongqiu.

Ross Lewis certainly would not refuse and was very welcoming.

He suggested that He Zhongqiu set up a film company, the most important purpose of which was to create the most suitable film for He Zhongqiu, rather than to develop the company.

If the scripts these producers and directors create for He Zhongqiu are suitable, he will definitely not refuse.
