Chapter 387 His body is broken
"Hey, Brother Cheng, what's up?"

"Zhongqiu, please give me a ticket to the finals."

"You want to watch a game? Don't you dislike basketball?"

"I don't like basketball that much, but Xiaofangzi does. He's a big fan of yours and wants to watch the finals, but he's afraid he won't be able to buy tickets."

"Oh, okay. By the way, Brother Cheng, what are you busy with recently?"

"Recuperating."

"What's wrong? Are you injured? I haven't heard that you were filming a movie recently!"

Chenglong said unhappily, "The King of Kung Fu lost so much money that his blood burst. The company that Yinghuang and I co-founded was liquidated. Do you think I am hurt?"

"Haha..." He Zhongqiu laughed.

"Still laughing?"

Chenglong complained, "This movie has made huge losses, and the Hollywood Lionsgate Films that invested in it has also suffered heavy losses. Now I can't get any film contracts in Hollywood, it's a big blow! I plan to take a two-year break and catch my breath first."

"No way, Kung Fu King didn't invest much?" He Zhongqiu asked doubtfully.

Chenglong sighed, "Brother, even if it's not much, it's still tens of millions of dollars. Add in the publicity and promotion costs, it's close to 80 million dollars. With that little box office, the loss is huge. Boss Yang is almost bankrupt."

"Oh, by the way, have you filmed your guest role in Guns N' Dragon?" He Zhongqiu suddenly remembered this.

"I'm in the crew. I arrived yesterday and we're shooting today. It will be finished in two days. I've also invested the $5 million." Chenglong said.

"Don't worry, you won't lose anything from this movie." He Zhongqiu said with a smile.

"I hope so. Your fighting style is so popular now. Wu Jing and the others are learning from you. The box office should be good."

Chenglong said this and sighed, "My style is not keeping up with the times. Now that I am old, I can't do some of the moves anymore."

"Brother Cheng, I told you that you were old a few years ago, but you didn't admit it." He Zhongqiu teased.

Speaking of old age, Chenglong was absolutely unconvinced and immediately shouted, "Who said I'm old? I beat Li Lianjie, now I can beat two people."

"Ha ha……"

He Zhongqiu laughed and said, "Brother Li's body is no longer in good condition. You can beat three of them."

"what?"

Chenglong was startled and said hurriedly: "Zhongqiu, I was just joking, don't take it seriously, don't tell anyone!"

He Zhongqiu said: "The last time I saw him in China, I knew he had a hip."

"Is his body really in bad shape? How did you tell? I thought he was in pretty good shape!" Chenglong said in surprise.

He Zhongqiu said: "His Qi and blood were extremely weak. He said that he now believed in Buddhism, had let go of everything, and realized the true meaning of life. I felt that his will was broken first, and then his Qi and blood were affected."

"Really?"

"When qi and blood weaken, the body's resistance will inevitably decrease, and this disease or that disease will appear," said He Zhongqiu.

Chenglong thought for a moment and said, "I heard him say last time that he fell down during the filming of Huo Yuanjia. It was quite high. He was fine at the time, but later we found out that he had internal injuries."

He Zhongqiu said: "The first time I met him was probably at the Oscars in 05. I could see that his energy and blood were not strong and his body was seriously overdrawn. He was just like Bruce Lee back then, who only looked strong."

"Hey, Zhongqiu, how do you think of my health? I have been practicing martial arts since I was a child, and it was very hard work. I don't know how many times I was injured while filming, and I even had surgery on my head. Am I overdrawn?" Chenglong asked hurriedly.

He Zhongqiu said: "You, haha, Brother Cheng, you are indeed not old yet, you have good talent, a solid foundation, and after training, Brother Li's physical talent is not as strong as yours."

"Don't lie to me?"

He Zhongqiu said, "Why would I lie to you? Don't you know your own body? A strong Qi and blood means you have a lot of energy. You've been injured so many times but you're fine, which shows that your bones and muscles are naturally strong."

Chenglong smiled and said, “Then I feel relieved. I do feel that my energy is still very good now. Those young people on the set are not as good as me.

When I was young, I would shoot a day’s worth of scenes, then go to nightclubs with my friends at night, drink until 3 or 4 in the morning, and then go back to shoot in the morning, still full of energy.”

The Lakers eventually defeated the Spurs at home and won the first game of the Western Conference Finals.

Yao Ming scored 34 points with a shooting percentage of 55.6%. He also had 5 blocks, three of which were to Duncan. His performance was excellent.

科比更是轰下39分6篮板6助攻3抢断，防得迈克尔芬利14投仅3中，防得吉诺比利13投5中，攻防两端非常给力。

邓肯表现也非常好，28分15篮板4助攻2抢断3盖帽，但马刺的整体表现不如湖人。

On the 18th, Game 2 of the Eastern Conference Finals.

At seven o'clock in the evening, He Zhongqiu drove to Madison Square Garden and met a group of Chinese reporters in the parking lot, including Zhang Heli.

"Mid-Autumn Festival, Yao Ming's performance was amazing!" Zhang Heli said excitedly.

"That's right." He Zhongqiu nodded with a smile.

"He really made the right decision to lose weight. He has developed his three-point shot and his scoring ability is much better than before," said another reporter.

He Zhongqiu said: "Yao and Kwame Brown are a good team. He is responsible for offense and Kwame is responsible for the dirty work. Kwame's rebounding is OK and his defense is also hard. I am still optimistic about the Lakers in this match against the Spurs."

That night, the Knicks beat the Pistons for the second time.

He Zhongqiu started to exert his strength from the first second. The Pistons no longer had the iron willpower they had before. They only resisted for two quarters and gave up after falling behind by 20 points.

On the 19th, the Knicks moved to Detroit.

This car city is becoming more and more desolate. When you enter the city center, you will see idle black people everywhere and idle, dilapidated and overgrown houses everywhere. It feels like entering a wasteland.

That night, the Lakers lost to the Spurs, and the two sides tied 1-1.

On the morning of the 20th, Yang Xue called and said that Qiuxue Building was ready for use. The 22nd was an auspicious day for relocation, so they were ready to move all companies in.

The building has 33 floors above ground and 3 floors underground, for a total of 36 floors.

The first and second floors below ground are parking lots with 350 parking spaces, half of which are used for commercial operations. The third floor below ground is an air defense project that can accommodate three to five thousand people. The first floor is a lobby and shops.

On the second floor are the six cinemas of He’s Cinema Line, including three cinemas with 2 seats, two cinemas with seats, and one cinema with seats.

The 3rd to 7th floors are shopping malls.

The He Group occupies floors 8 to 16, a total of 9 floors.

There are currently a total of 9 wholly-owned subsidiaries, including 5 subsidiaries under the Media Group Company, two in the United States, 12 in China, plus the He Group headquarters and the Media Group headquarters, totaling 14 companies of all sizes.

The 8th floor is used by group headquarters, real estate companies, and security companies, while the 9th floor is used by investment funds, sporting goods companies, and immigration companies.

The media group and its five subsidiaries use the 10th and 11th floors. The film and television company and the cultural and sports agency use the 10th floor, and the media group headquarters, special effects company, theater company, and media company use the 11th floor.

The He's Martial Arts School uses the 12th and 13th floors, with the school's headquarters on the 12th floor, and the rest is used by the Gongti West Road branch.

The 14th, 15th and 16th floors are temporarily vacant and reserved for future group expansion.

For example, a sporting goods company, if it develops in the future, will need to occupy a floor all to itself.

The 17th to 32nd floors, a total of 16 floors, are hotels.

The 33rd floor is He Zhongqiu’s private large flat.

The building started renting out a year ago and is now fully completed and the businesses have finished decorating.

The shopping mall on the third to seventh floors is Hualian Shopping Mall, and the hotel on the 17th to 32nd floors is the Baihao five-star hotel.

That night, the Knicks beat the Pistons three times.

He Zhongqiu first destroyed the Pistons' defense in the low post and attacked the basket, causing 5 fouls in the first quarter, which reduced the intensity of the Pistons' inside defense. The game then entered the Knicks' rhythm.

On the 21st, Game 3 of the Western Conference Finals begins.

At this time, at 22:8 on the 18nd, China time, the Qiuxue Building, located on Gongti West Road, East Third Ring Road, Chaoyang District, Yanjing, held a ribbon-cutting opening ceremony.

All the companies of the He Group, big and small, have moved in ahead of time, and the shops on the first floor, the Hualian Shopping Mall, and the Hilton Hotel are also ready and will open at the same time.

Qiuxue Building is not big or tall in Yanjing, but the influence of celebrating Mid-Autumn Festival is great enough. With a large number of celebrities coming to congratulate, it attracted countless people to watch and caused traffic congestion.

That night, the Spurs relied on their strong strength to defeat the Lakers at home and took a 2-1 lead.

Yao Min got into foul trouble again. He committed two fouls against Duncan and Ginobili in the first 7 minutes of the first quarter. His playing time was fragmented, resulting in a mediocre touch. He made only 16 of 7 shots and scored 19 points.

"Mid-Autumn Festival, what should I do?"

Yao Ming was anxious and called He Zhongqiu as soon as the game ended.

"What's the hurry?"

He Zhongqiu said with a headache: "Isn't it just one to two? At most we won't make it to the finals, it's not going to cost you your life."

"What are you talking about? I must make it to the finals." Yao Ming said angrily.

He Zhongqiu said: "Duncan and Obota switched positions at the beginning, letting you defend Duncan, and then Duncan attacked the basket and caused your first foul.

"The second time was when Ginobili broke through and came in specifically to beat me, and it was another hand foul." Yao Ming said helplessly.

He Zhongqiu said, "Now that you know, you should be more careful and don't reach out randomly. Do you think you are me? I averaged eight or nine blocks per game in the first and second rounds combined. Do you have that ability?"

Dayao was angry and said, "Damn it, I came to you for advice, and you took the opportunity to show off your ability, right?"

"Ha ha……"

He Zhongqiu laughed loudly, then said, "I've already told you not to mess around, but you didn't listen, so what can I do?
Yao Ming, let him score the goal he deserves. Remember, you are an offensive center, not a defensive center. "

"OK then."

Dayao also knows this is the problem.

"Also, strengthen your defense. Kwame Brown's six fouls are useless, you can give them all to Duncan, since Duncan's free throws are not good anyway. Let your outside players use more strength, don't let Tony Parker and Ginobili rush in to hit you."

"Okay, I'll talk to the coach."

On the 22nd, the Knicks completed a sweep of the Pistons.

This is also the second time that the Knicks have advanced to the finals by sweeping the first three rounds of the series, following last season.

On the 23rd, the Lakers exploded on the road.

Yao Ming was shooting like crazy, 70% of his shots were mid-range and three-pointers, and only 30% were attacks in the restricted area.

总共24投15中，命中率高达62.5%，其中三分球9投5中，命中率高达恐怖的55.5%。

Including 6 of 6 free throws, he scored 41 points and 8 rebounds.

Kobe scored 31 points with a shooting percentage of 49.5%, and teamed up with Yao Ming to provide 9 assists.

The two combined for 72 points, blasting the Spurs and tying the overall score.

In defending Duncan, the Lakers used a foul tactic.

Duncan made only 18 of 9 free throws, with a hit rate of only 50%. He scored 27 points and 15 rebounds. Although the statistics are good, they are not as efficient as Yao Ming.

The Lakers' perimeter defense is still good. Kobe + Fisher + Odom, the three of them strengthened the Spurs' perimeter defense, reduced its efficiency, and at the same time avoided the Spurs' outside impact on Yao Ming.

Ginobili didn't have a good touch today, scoring only 13 points with a shooting percentage of just over %.

Tony Parker scored 21 points and 7 assists, but his efficiency was average, with only a % shooting percentage.

On the 25th, the Lakers returned to their home court. Yao and Kobe continued their efforts, especially Kobe scored 46 points, leading the team to win Game 5 with a score of to and got the qualifying point.

On the 27th, the Spurs launched a Jedi counterattack at home and regained the match point. The two sides will have a seventh game at the Los Angeles Lakers' home court on the 29th.
