Chapter 289 Academy Awards

"Personal data, take a look."

After returning to the locker room, Gorilla Ewing brought out a stack of statistics sheets and distributed one to each player.

贺中秋看了一下，自己常规赛出战82场，场均35.2分钟，场均32.4分13篮板1.4助攻1.6抢断3.8盖帽2.6失误2.8犯规。

He averaged 21.7 of 12.5 shots per game, with a shooting percentage of 57.6%.

He averaged 8.2 of 7.4 free throws per game, with a free throw percentage of 90.2%.

其中篮下的进攻占比和命中率分别是40%和75%，近投分别是21%和44.5%，中投是39%和43.5%。

There has been an increase in all aspects of the data, including shots, points, rebounds, blocks, and shooting and free throw percentages, etc.

In addition, the offense under the basket has decreased, and mid-range shots have increased further, but the hit rate in all positions has also increased, which means that his offensive strength has been further enhanced.

"Wolverine, congratulations, you are the scoring leader and block leader this season." Rick Carlisle said with a smile.

"Wow!"

"Boss, congratulations!"

"I wish the boss to unify the alliance."

The locker room suddenly became lively.

Ewing said with some regret: "It's a pity that the rebounding champion was taken away by Garnett, 13.5 rebounds."

Rick Carlisle said: "Garnett is weak on offense but strong on defense. He invests more on defense than on offense. Wolverine has limited energy. He averages 13 rebounds per game, which is very good."

Ewing also said: "Wolverine, you increased your mid-range shots, and your fight for offensive rebounds has weakened a bit."

He Zhongqiu also nodded. With limited energy and being unable to handle everything, it was impossible for him to take on all the honors by himself.

After a quiet moment, Ewing continued, "Also, Wolverine, you are the second most efficient offensive player in the league and the third most efficient defensive player."

"Shaq's offensive efficiency is higher than mine."

He Zhongqiu had no doubt that the Big Shark, who focused on attacking under the basket, was definitely more efficient in attack than him. His mid-range shots accounted for as high as 39%, so his overall hit rate was naturally lower than that of the Big Shark, who only attacked in the restricted area.

However, his defensive efficiency is third among all the main players in the league, so he has a chance to be selected into the best defensive team this year. In the previous two seasons, he didn't even make the second defensive team.

"Steve, what about yours?" He leaned over to look at Nash's data.

Nash smiled and said, "18.5 points and 11.5 assists. I am the assists king for the second consecutive year."

"Not bad." He Zhongqiu praised.

He added: "50.5% shooting percentage, 43.1% three-point shooting percentage? Steve, your shooting percentage is really good. You should take more shots in the future."

Rick Carlisle also nodded and said: "Nash can indeed take more shots and strive to get 20+10 next year. There should be no problem for him to start in the All-Star Game. It's a pity that he missed out this year."

Josh Howard shouted: "If LeBron James hadn't run to the guards to vote, Steve would have been an All-Star starter."

"Yes."

"The alliance is too supportive of Liu Bulang."

"Boss, if we meet next season, you should teach him a lesson."

In the locker room, everyone was shouting in a mess.

At this time, Ewing said: "Now let me talk about the playoffs."

After the locker room quieted down, he continued: "In the first round of the Eastern Conference, we play the 76ers, the Heat play the Pacers, the Pistons play the Wizards, and the Bulls play the Celtics. Our first round starts on the 25th."

He Zhongqiu was startled and asked, "Patrick, the Nets didn't make the top eight?"

Ewing grinned and said, "The Nets have 42 wins, ninth, and the 76ers have 43 wins, eighth."

He Zhongqiu was speechless. In the 01/02 season before he entered the league, the Nets were number one in the Eastern Conference and made it to the finals twice. In just a few days, they had fallen to this state?

Ewing continued: "In the first round of the Western Conference, the Southwest Division was too strong, no, it was Texas that was too strong. In the regular season, the Spurs ranked first, the Mavericks ranked second, and the Rockets ranked fourth.

According to the playoff ranking rules, the three division champions ranked in the top three of the playoffs, with the Spurs first, the Supersonics second, the Kings third, and the Mavericks and Rockets fourth and fifth.

In the first round, the Spurs play the Grizzlies, the SuperSonics play the Suns, the Kings play the Nuggets, and the Mavericks play the Rockets. "

He Zhongqiu laughed. Yao Ming was so unlucky. Last time he said he would make it to the upper half, he actually did make it and finished fourth in the regular season.

At this time, in Houston, Yao Ming looked bitter.

Damn it, we finally made it to fourth place in the Western Conference in the regular season, which was so difficult, but ended up being squeezed to fifth place and playing against the Mavericks in the first round.

The Rockets have only 51 wins. Are the Mavericks, who have 58 wins, easy to beat?
He Zhongqiu was just about to take a shower when his cell phone rang. He took a look and saw, haha, it was Dayao. He had to comfort him.

He sat down again, answered the phone slowly, coughed twice, and before he could say anything, Dayao on the other end of the phone spoke first.

"Mid-Autumn Festival, um, um, congratulations to you. You're the scoring champion again, and you're the blocking champion again. You've secured the regular season MVP title again." Yao Ming said with envy and hatred.

"Yao, congratulations to you too. You're ranked fourth in the Western Conference and have finally made it into the upper half." He Zhongqiu laughed.

"He Zhongqiu, you are really a piece of shit!" Dayao said angrily.

"Haha!" He Zhongqiu laughed triumphantly.

"Hmph, so what if they are the Mavericks? We can still beat them." Yao Ming said angrily.

"Yes, that's the attitude we should have. Yao Ming, you are the best center in the Western Conference. What is Daniel? He can defend against the Big Shark, but can he defend against you? Beating him is like playing a game, right?" He Zhongqiu encouraged.

"That's right. He can't defend against technical centers. Besides, my low-post confrontation is no worse than his." Yao Ming said confidently.

"Yes, if you let your Uncle Huo defend against the Dirk chariot, you will win." He Zhongqiu said with a smile.

Dayao was silent for a moment, and then he said angrily, "He Zhongqiu, what do you mean?"

"Aren't I just giving you some advice?" He Zhongqiu said.

"Just wait, we will definitely make it to the second round this year, definitely!" Yao Ming said and hung up the phone.

"Hey?"

He Zhongqiu put down the phone with some regret. I haven't even started to comfort him yet, why did Dayao hang up?
Late at night, he drove back to the villa.

I’ve already bought a villa on the Upper West Side, and I’m adding a training hall in the backyard. It smells of paint, so I can’t move in for the time being.

Lie on the bed and open the system panel.

After a season, many skills have been upgraded, from martial arts to basketball.

In addition, the system has added two skills: MMA and boxing. The former is currently level 3/5 and the latter is level 4/5.

His MMA skill level is relatively low because he still hasn't practiced ground techniques much and can't spare much time.

In terms of martial arts skills, he already has more than thirty items, most of which are various martial arts routines. The lowest level is level 3, and level 4 and 5 account for half of them. Now he can be said to be proficient in all kinds of martial arts.

In basketball, the three basic skills are passing 94, shooting 75, and dribbling 80.

My shooting is mainly backboard shots, and my other shooting techniques are still very poor and I haven't practiced much, so this basic skill is probably at its peak.

In terms of offensive areas, the basket is 97, close shots are 92, and mid-range shots are 90. This is a reflection of the offensive strength, all of which are first-class. They can attack in the low post and can be high turrets in the mid-range. The only weakness is that there is no three-pointer.

In terms of offensive skills, dunk 97, layup 92, rebound 95, free throw 92, one-on-one at the basket 95, breaking double-team at the basket 95, aerial confrontation 97, low post confrontation 97, low post back-to-the-basket 92, low post facing the basket 93.

In terms of defensive skills, single defense is 96, assist defense is 90, help defense is 90, blocks are 95, and steals are 80.

In terms of rebounding, positioning is 95 and prediction is 95, all top-notch.

In terms of organization, organization is 50, cover is 90, support is 80, and launching fast break is 85.

In terms of tactics, offense is 92 and defense is 92.

Looking at these data, plus his overall quality of 98.77, he feels that as a center, he should have reached a peak in terms of technique, physical fitness, and game experience.

"Jordan was able to create two three-peat dynasties, and O'Neal also created one. I want to create a dynasty too."

With this thought in mind, he collected his energy and fell into a deep sleep.

On the 21st, when He Zhongqiu got up at ten o'clock, Philip was already sitting in the living room with a suitcase, and the two immediately set off for the airport.

On the way, Ross Lewis called and the promotion of Iron Eagle King 1 officially began, with a promotion period of one and a half months, and then it will be released in June.

A huge amount of funds were invested in publicity. For global publicity, major distribution companies invested a total of 30 million US dollars.

He Zhongqiu's two film and television companies also invested several million dollars in publicity funds.

This kind of publicity and promotion investment will have priority over production costs in terms of return. After the theaters get the money, the publicity and promotion company gets the money, and then it is the turn of the investors.

At 11 o'clock, the two boarded a plane to Hong Kong.

At noon on the 22nd, at the Hong Kong Airport, Yang Xue brought some people to pick up the passengers.

For security reasons, after all, He Zhongqiu and Yinghuang had become mortal enemies, so Yang Xue hired twelve security guards.

From Hong Kong media reports, she also got two pieces of information: Xie Si had contacted Deng Guang and Chen Huimin, and Zhou Yunfa had contacted Ren Dahua.

Li Lianjie's agent was shot dead in the street back then, so we have to be on guard and not be careless.

The twelve security guards came from two security companies, one is the Hong Kong Ace Shield Security Consulting Company, and the other is the American Blackwater Bodyguard Company.

Ace Shield Security Company is an authoritative bodyguard export agency from China.

All members are recently retired special elites who have received top security training. They generally provide services to executives of Fortune 500 companies and celebrities.

Yang Xue hired six people, all armed with guns, as external bodyguards.

The Blackwater Bodyguard Company also hired six people, all of whom were armed. All of them were strong men over two meters tall. They were personal bodyguards, or meat shields.

In addition to Yang Xue and others, there were also a large number of Hong Kong reporters. This was He Zhongqiu's first visit to Hong Kong, and the media had high expectations for him.

Both ATV and TVB sent reporters with photography teams, and there were also interview vehicles outside to conduct live interviews in real time.

Then came a large number of Hong Kong fans, at least two or three hundred people, crowded at the exit.

Hong Kong's ATV started broadcasting NBA games earlier than CCTV, so He Zhongqiu also has a large number of NBA fans in Hong Kong. Together with his fans of Kung Fu King, he has formed a huge fan base.

Most of the fans who came today wore the Knicks' No. 18 home jerseys and Wolverine series basketball shoes. Many of them held cards with names such as Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Wolverine, and Kung Fu King written on them.

There was also a large group of Liu Dehua's fans at the scene, about thirty or forty people in total. Today he rushed back to Hong Kong from Yanjing to prepare to attend the Academy Awards.

Hundreds of people were crowded together, making it impossible to move around. The airport dispatched a large number of security personnel and staff to maintain order.

"Ah, Huazai is out."

"Hua Zai!"

At this time, the people who were leaving the plane came over and the fans outside surged.

Liu Dehua's fan base is so broad that more than half of He Zhongqiu's fans also came forward to support him.

"Hello, hello!"

When Andy Lau, wearing a mask, saw this scene, he was startled. Why are there so many fans here today? But he is experienced and waved his hands quickly.

Then, he saw the signs held in the hands of many fans, and then looked at the No. 18 Knicks jerseys they were wearing, and he realized that there were more Wolverine fans here.

"Hua Zai, there are too many people. It's not safe. Let's go." The assistant urged.

"it is good."

He nodded, and as he walked forward, he shouted to the fans who wanted autographs: "Everyone be safe, next time, next time."

When he saw Yang Xue, although he had never met her before, he had seen her many times in the media. He took the initiative to greet her with a smile: "Hey, President Yang? Hello!"

"Hello Hua Zai. Sorry to bother you." Yang Xue said with a smile.

"No, no. Well, there are too many people here. I'll leave first. Please give my regards to Wolverine. See you in the evening." Liu Dehua said.

"Okay. Take care." Yang Xue said.

After Liu Dehua left, some of his fans followed him, but more than half of them stayed and did not follow him.

Ten minutes later, He Zhongqiu came out.

He was wearing a tailor-made black casual suit, fashionable sunglasses, and a bald head. He looked cool from the inside out, and his huge body was full of oppression.

"Wolverine!"

"Kung Fu King!"

For Hong Kong people, Liu Dehua is a common sight, they have been seeing him for twenty years. This is He Zhongqiu's first time to Hong Kong, it is very rare. When he saw him, his fans were excited.

"Hello!"

He Zhongqiu took off his sunglasses and waved to his fans with a smile.

"Sanjin, let's leave first."

"Sister Xue."

He leaned over and hugged Yang Xue, but with so many people watching, they didn't do anything more intimate.

A large group of security guards have surrounded the two men, with six foreign bodyguards protecting them closely and another six outside.

Airport security personnel and staff began to maintain order in order to allow him to leave the airport.

"Kung Fu King, who is better, you or Bruce Lee?"

"Brother, don't ask such boring questions."

"Wolverine, will you defend your title?"

"Of course."

While greeting his fans, he slowly walked out.

However, after taking only a few steps, reporters from two TV stations blocked the way with cameras.
