Chapter 157 "Yao Next Year", Platinum Generation (you can jump to more daily topics)

February 2th at 18 pm, All-Star Weekend in Denver.

There are still nearly four hours before the Rookie Challenge, but Duan arrived at the Pepsi Center in Denver early.

Dunn came to the arena not just to warm up in advance, but mainly because Chinese players had to attend the premiere of Yao Ming's first personal biography movie - "Yao Next Year".

There is no doubt that David Stern attaches great importance to the Chinese market. In order to expand Yao Ming's influence, he even used the All-Star Weekend to promote Yao Ming's biopic.

Moreover, there is not just one "Yao Next Year", but two in total.

The first of them, "Yao Next Year", had its premiere at last year's Toronto Film Festival in Canada.

Due to the two consecutive broadcasts of "Yao Next Year" tonight, the premiere of "Yao Next Year 2" was actually held.

For this reason, domestic media received the news in advance and dispatched specialists to report on it.

Chinese players such as Du En and Wang Zhizhi who play in the NBA have also been invited to attend the premiere of "Yao Next Year" on time.

"Dayao, congratulations! I wish you a great box office success!"

After Du En saw Yao Ming, he stepped forward and complimented him.

Yao Ming laughed awkwardly and said: "I have already seen the movie, and it shouldn't be too high at the box office.

I heard them say that the main thing is to release DVDs and videotapes.

Maybe I can make some money, but the majority is from the NBA, so I may only have a little bit.

By the way, I think they won't let you go, and maybe they will release a movie for you next year. "

Although the movie is titled "Yao Next Year", the producer and producer have little to do with Yao Ming.

The movie was mainly made by NBA officials, and Yao Ming was just a puppet star who was manipulated at best.

In addition to the basic licensing fees for the "actor's" portrait copyright, Yao Ming's benefits from these two films are extremely limited.

Moreover, the movie is in the form of a documentary, with relatively little content and boring content.

Except for die-hard fans, there are not many fans who are destined to contribute to the box office, so the box office usually does not have a high box office.

However, the NBA is focused on the Chinese market and the market of Chinese fans in North America.

Just like those fans who came to cheer for Duen wearing Lakers jersey No. 31 when Duen was playing away games.

Although I am not a die-hard fan, there is nothing wrong with supporting and participating with a few dollars or dozens of dollars.

"Hehe, maybe..."

After listening to what Yao Ming said, Du En knew very well that NBA officials would definitely not let him go.

After NBA officials successfully develop Yao Ming's value and reap the benefits, perhaps Du En's biopic will be released.

Nike originally had this idea in mind, so when the sneaker contract was signed, it assigned Duen a dedicated photographer.

If the revenue of "Yao Next Year" is relatively considerable, there is no reason for NBA officials to give up the interests of Du En.

By the way, it wasn’t long before the movie was officially released.

Du En originally thought that even if he couldn't reach the level of "The Last Dance", he should at least praise Yao Ming and make Chinese fans happy.

Who would have thought that this movie essentially has nothing to do with Yao Ming. Instead, it focuses on how Chinese players or Chinese students can integrate into American society...

After watching the movie, Du En was confused, but he soon came to his senses.

This can be regarded as a reminder to Du En. If the NBA makes a biopic on him in the future, it will still need to intervene.

There is no need to make it artistic or not, just highlight Dune's personal image like in "The Last Dance".

At most, they can bring in Anthony and Wade to talk about brotherhood, and then find O'Neal and Kobe to describe the problems encountered on the way to the championship.

In other words, after attending the movie premiere, Du En felt dizzy.

This made Duen, who had no intention of playing in the Rookie Challenge, even more out of shape.

In the evening, before the warm-up for the Rookie Challenge, Du En publicly stated in the locker room that he was only willing to be a pseudo-starter and let others compete and perform.

Wade, Anthony and others have no problem with this.The lineup of the second-year team in this year's Rookie Challenge is Wade, Duane, James, Anthony, Bosh, Hinrich, Korver, Josh Howard, and Haslem.

Duane stated in advance that he was not planning to play more, which means that Wade, Anthony, and James all hope to compete for the Rookie Challenge MVP.

Among them, Wade and James have both been selected to the Eastern Conference All-Star lineup. This makes Anthony, who is lagging behind, even more concerned about this year's Rookie Challenge MVP.

They are all the bosses of the Eastern Conference teams. Obviously the Knicks he leads are also among the top eight teams in the Eastern Conference. Why is he not selected for the All-Stars?

In order to prove his strength, Anthony was particularly active after the Rookie Challenge officially started.

Because he didn't play much defense in the first half, Anthony made 7 of 7 shots, 14 points and 4 rebounds, leading the game in scoring.

But James, who only scored 9 points in the first half, was a little anxious and wanted to control the ball and lead the second-year team.

As the best rookie on par with Duane, it would be embarrassing if James did not win the Rookie Challenge MVP award.

However, in the second half, Wade had no intention of giving up the ball to James.

Wade's attitude is very clear - I, the boss of the Heat, the number one team in the Eastern Conference, are you going to teach me how to do things?

You know, the coach of tonight's Rookie Challenge is also the Heat's assistant coach!
The second-year team lacks inside players, and Haslem is also a Heat player.

Players and coaches are all mine, so what can you do to fight with me?

It is precisely because of this that Wade, who also wants to compete for the Rookie Challenge MVP, also came out with full firepower in the second half.

Of course, because of his guest role as point guard, Wade also passed the ball to other teammates, except for James, who was a bit pretentious in front of him.

108 to 133, under the leadership of Wade, the second-year team effortlessly defeated the first-year team.

而韦德靠着26分6篮板8助攻的全面数据，击败了队内最大的竞争对手31分8篮板的安东尼，获得了今年的新秀挑战赛MVP！

"Melon, don't take it too seriously! I'm just the MVP of the Rookie Challenge.

As long as you are good enough and your team's record is good, you still have a chance to be selected for the best team.

Let us work hard together! "

After the game, Dunn did not go to congratulate Wade first, but comforted Anthony.

Although, it can be seen from tonight's game that it is easier to win and achieve results when playing with Wade.

However, Doon did not forget his roots and his brother Anthony.

However, Anthony's attitude was somewhat beyond Du En's expectations.

Anthony was just silent for a moment, then shook his head and stood up again.

First, he hugged Du En and said a few words that it was nothing, and then took the initiative to hug Wade to celebrate.

“Dwyane, I understand today why you are number one in the Eastern Conference!

You are stronger than I thought!

You are a well-deserved MVP!I am very convinced that I lost to you. "

When Wade heard Anthony say this, he just smiled and said, "We are brothers!"

When Duan saw this, he just stood next to Wade and Anthony like other second-year rookies, smiling constantly.

Only James returned to the locker room as soon as the game was over, as if he had expected that the Rookie Challenge MVP would have nothing to do with him.

"Brothers, I'm treating you tonight, and I want you all to show your respect!"

As tonight's big winner, having successfully won the Rookie Challenge MVP, Wade, who was already satisfied, immediately showed that he was not short of money and wanted to treat everyone to dinner.

They are all rookies in the same class. They fought together in the last class, and if they win again tonight, they will naturally appreciate it.

Even James, who returned to the locker room early, still attended the post-game celebration banquet together after Wade took the initiative to go to the locker room and made a special announcement.

The main players of the 03 Platinum Generation gathered together happily, but when they had enough wine and food, they would inevitably leave one after another, and it would be difficult to reunite...
