Coach: Coaching the Grizzlies at the beginning, playing the bantam

The sun shines through sparse clouds and onto the bustling streets of Los Angeles.

The next morning, Hannah, wearing a simple yet elegant white dress, took Lu Yong's arm, and the two drove briskly to the restaurant where they had an appointment with director Philip Harlanman.

Lu Yong, the legendary coach in NBA history, wore casual clothes but still couldn't hide his kingly aura.

His eyes revealed curiosity about the unknown. After all, this was a movie he invested in and although his original intention was just to make Hannah happy, now that the movie was about to be completed, he couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Hannah sensed Lu Yong's emotional change. She chuckled and said in a gentle voice, "Don't worry. Philip is a very talented director. The movie will definitely be fine."

Lu Yong smiled slightly. He was not worried about the quality of the film, but was just curious about what the effect of this work starring Hannah would be.

The two walked into the restaurant and Philip Harlanman was already waiting at the parking lot entrance.

As soon as he saw Lu Yong and Hannah, he immediately bent down and came forward with a smile on his face.

"Mr. Lu, Miss Hannah, it's great that you're here!"

There was a hint of flattery in Philip's voice. He was well aware of Lu Yong's status in the NBA, and he also understood that the success of this movie was inseparable from Lu Yong's investment.

Lu Yong and Hannah walked into the restaurant's private room under the guidance of Philip.

The private room is decorated simply and elegantly, with several comfortable chairs placed around a large round table.

The three of them sat around the table and the waiter immediately brought them an exquisite menu.

Philip spoke first and introduced the filming process of the movie to Lu Yong in detail.

"Mr. Lu, do you know that this film has gone very smoothly every step of the way since it started shooting? Miss Hannah's acting is really amazing. She completely immersed herself in the role and expressed the heroine's anxiety, hatred and anger vividly."

Lu Yong nodded slightly, and he looked at Hannah with eyes full of doting. "I know that my baby will be fine."

His words made Hannah blush. She pinched Lu Yong gently, signaling him to stop talking nonsense.

Seeing this, Philip immediately changed the subject.

"Mr. Lu, you have read the script before. What do you think? We have put a lot of effort into this, striving to make it thrilling while also causing the audience to think about the mental health of teenagers."

Lu Yong thought for a moment and said, "The script is pretty good. Although the plot is a bit old-fashioned, it wins in terms of atmosphere and acting skills. As long as the publicity is in place, this movie should be able to achieve good results."

When Phillip heard this, he immediately flattered him: "Mr. Lu is right! This movie will definitely be a big hit! You will definitely make a lot of money if you invest this money!"

Lu Yong smiled. He didn't care how much money the movie could make. He was more concerned about whether Hannah had been wronged during the filming process.

"Philip, I heard that filming a thriller can be very hard sometimes. Has Hannah ever been harassed or wronged?"

When Phillip heard this, he immediately patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, Mr. Lu! I have already told the crew that Miss Hannah is our crew's treasure, and no one can bully her! During the filming process, Miss Hannah was fully protected and was absolutely not harassed!"

After hearing this, Lu Yong felt a little relieved.

He looked at Hannah and found that she was looking at him with gratitude.

Hannah has put a lot of effort into this movie and she must be very happy to be taken care of by Philip.

In the following time, the three of them ate and chatted, and the atmosphere was relatively harmonious.

Philip reported the filming details to Lu Yong from time to time, and praised Hannah's acting skills from time to time.

Although Lu Yong did not have much knowledge about film shooting, he could feel Philip's sincerity and enthusiasm.

During the conversation, Lu Yong gradually gained a deeper understanding of the movie.

He learned that although this movie is a thriller, the director and screenwriter put a lot of effort into the script, striving to make it thrilling while also causing the audience to think about the mental health of teenagers.

This kind of film that focuses on social significance is rare in today's film market.

Lu Yong also learned that the filming process of the film went very smoothly. In addition to Hannah's outstanding performance, the other actors were also very dedicated.

Philip strictly controls every detail of the film and strives to do his best.

This attitude of striving for perfection makes Lu Yong look forward to this movie even more.

After dinner, the three of them walked out of the restaurant.

Philip expressed his gratitude to Lu Yong again and promised to make the film the best it could be.

Lu Yong smiled and nodded. He knew that this movie meant a lot to Hannah, and it was also a brand new attempt for him.

The three of them walked out side by side, with satisfied smiles on their faces, as if they had just experienced a feast of delicious food.

The feast did not end there, because Director Philip also prepared a special "dessert" for them - a visit to the crew.

"Mr. Lu, please allow me to take you to see the filming site of our crew." Philip's voice was full of enthusiasm and anticipation, and his eyes sparkled with his love and persistence for movies.

Lu Yong smiled slightly, his curiosity about filming was completely aroused.

"Thank you very much, Philip. I have always wanted to see how movies are made."

Hannah held Lu Yong's arm tightly, her eyes sparkling with excitement and pride.

As the heroine of this film, she is full of affection for every corner of the crew.

The three of them drove to the crew site, and the scenery along the way slowly unfolded outside the car window like a scroll.

On the way to the crew, Lu Yong and Hannah talked about the movie.

Hannah said she is very much looking forward to the release of the film and hopes that the audience will like her performance.

Lu Yong comforted her and said, "Don't worry, your acting is so good, the audience will definitely like it."

When the car stopped, they got out and saw a busy and orderly scene before their eyes.

Various equipment were neatly arranged on site, and staff members were busy and focused as they shuttled between them.

"Is this the shooting scene?" Lu Yong couldn't help but sigh.

Philip smiled and nodded, "Yes, this is our 'battlefield'. Every shot was carefully polished here."

The three of them walked and talked, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the shooting area.

At this time, several actors were reshooting scenes, their faces covered with exaggerated makeup, looking both funny and scary.

However, they showed no fear and instead devoted themselves to the performance.

"Look how dedicated they are in their performance!" Hannah said, pointing at the group members, her eyes flashing with admiration and encouragement.

Lu Yong nodded in agreement, "Great, although they are just young actors, their acting skills are pretty good."

Just then, an action instructor came over and explained to the group members with a serious face how to express fear.

His voice was loud and powerful, and every word seemed to carry a kind of magic, making the group members' performances more realistic and vivid.

“Remember, fear is not simply screaming and running away, it has to penetrate deep into your bones and make every cell in your body tremble.” The action director’s words were full of awe and love for acting.

The group members listened with great interest, nodded to show their understanding, and began to try to perform according to the instructions of the action instructor.

Their faces showed complex expressions of fear, despair, and struggle, as if they were really in a terrifying situation.

Lu Yong looked at this scene and couldn't help but admire it in his heart.

He originally thought that making movies was just an easy and fun thing, but now it seems that the hardships and efforts involved are far beyond his imagination.

"It seems that making a movie is really not an easy thing." Lu Yong said with emotion.

Philip smiled and nodded. "Yes, making a movie is like playing basketball. It requires teamwork and hard work. Every shot is the result of everyone's hard work."

Hannah also joined their conversation, "Moreover, making movies also requires a pursuit and love for art. Only those who truly love movies can make good works."

Lu Yong nodded in agreement and began to look forward to the movie.

The three continued to watch the filming on site, exchanging their views and feelings with each other from time to time.

Philip also introduced some tips and interesting things about filming to Lu Yong from time to time, allowing Lu Yong to have a deeper understanding of film shooting.

In a corner of the shooting scene, Lu Yong noticed a young group member.

He looked a little nervous, with anxiety and fear flashing in his eyes. However, when he started to perform, he seemed to be a different person, devoting himself to the role.

His performance was so real and vivid that Lu Yong couldn't help but be moved.

"That young man performed really well." Lu Yong said, pointing at the group member.

Phillip nodded in agreement, “Yes, he is very talented. Although he is just a group member, I believe he will become an excellent actor in the future.”

Hannah also joined their discussion, "Besides, he's very tall! I wonder if he's interested in playing for the Nets?"

Her words caused the three of them to laugh.

As time went on, the atmosphere on the set became more and more heated.

The staff were busy and focused, and the performances of the group members became more and more exciting.

Just as they were chatting enthusiastically, an unexpected situation occurred.

A group member accidentally fell to the ground during the performance and screamed in pain.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became tense, and the staff gathered around to check his injuries.

"What happened? Is he okay?" Lu Yong asked with concern.

Phillip also frowned. “It should be fine. Our medical team will handle it immediately. This kind of situation happens from time to time during filming. Don’t worry too much.”

The accidents didn’t end there.

Just as the medical team was treating the wounds of the injured group member, another group member forgot his lines due to excessive tension.

He stood there, scratching his head in embarrassment, at a loss as to what to do.

"Haha, it looks like today is really full of problems!" Hannah said with a smile, trying to ease the tense atmosphere.

Lu Yong also laughed, "Yeah, but that's also part of the fun of filming. There are always unexpected things happening that catch us off guard."

Philip nodded in agreement. "Yes, that's the charm of filming. No matter what difficulties we encounter, we must persevere until we get a satisfactory shot."

With everyone's joint efforts, the atmosphere on the set gradually returned to normal.

The injured group members were sent to the hospital for treatment, and the group members who forgot their lines regained their confidence with everyone's encouragement.

The filming continues, and every shot embodies everyone's hard work and sweat.

Lu Yong watched this scene and found it interesting.

As the sun sets, the filming gradually draws to a close.

Lu Yong, Hannah and Philip stood aside, watching the staff busy packing up the equipment.

Everyone's face was filled with smiles of satisfaction and fatigue, as if they had just experienced a fierce battle.

"I have gained a lot today!" Lu Yong said with emotion.

Philip smiled and said, "Lu, thank you for your support and encouragement. I will definitely make this movie well."

In the evening, the setting sun shines on every corner of the city like molten gold, covering the city with a gorgeous golden coat.

Lu Yong and Hannah returned to the hotel hand in hand, both of them with smiles of satisfaction and fatigue on their faces.

They had just spent a fulfilling and wonderful day. Both the physical fatigue and spiritual satisfaction made them feel extremely happy.

After returning to the hotel, Lu Yong habitually turned on his computer and began to browse the news from outside.

As the coach of the Nets, he always pays close attention to the team's dynamics and external evaluations.

However, when he saw the news reports about the Nets winning the championship, he did not feel too much.

In recent years, he has seen so much similar praise and honor that he has become somewhat numb.

Just as he was about to close the news page, a basketball talk show hosted by Perkins, Pierce and Kenny Smith caught his interest.

He had heard of this program before. It was a debate program in which some well-known media people and retired NBA stars participated.

Each episode will have a topic, and then the guests will be divided into two camps to debate, and finally one person will act as a neutral person and give his or her vote.

Lu Yong clicked on the video of the show and started watching.

The show begins with a brief introduction followed by the appearance of three guests.

Perkins, Pierce and Kenny Smith, these three are all famous talkers and have a deep understanding of the NBA.

After all, they are all former NBA players and have deep feelings and unique insights into this league.

The topic discussed in this episode is simple, yet full of gunpowder - whether LeBron James is really capable of leading the team to overcome the huge challenge of Lu Yong.

This topic is undoubtedly a very controversial hot spot. After all, in past encounters, James has never won a playoff series against a team led by Lu Yong.

It seems that as long as Lu Yong's team plays against James' team, James will definitely lose.

The person who argued for James was Perkins, who sat in front of the camera with a serious face and a firm light in his eyes.

The one debating for his opponent Lu Yong was Pierce, with a playful smile on his face, as if he had already secured victory.

Kenny Smith sat aside, occasionally speaking out to ease the atmosphere, but generally maintained a neutral attitude.

When the debate began, Pierce was the first to attack: "Hey, man, don't you always say that LeBron is the best player in the league? Then why has he never won a series against Lu Yong's team? Isn't this the best proof?"

Perkins raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and responded without showing any weakness: "Don't forget, basketball is a sport for five people. No matter how strong LeBron is, he can't beat a team alone. Moreover, Lu Yong's team is indeed strong, but this does not mean that LeBron has no chance. Next season, if the Lakers can strengthen their lineup, they may be able to beat the Nets and win the championship."

Pierce sneered and continued, "Strengthen the roster? That's easy for you to say. Lu Yong's team is not that easy to beat. Look at the record of the past few years. LeBron has always been defeated. I tell you, as long as Coach Lu Yong doesn't retire, LeBron will never win a championship in his life."

Perkins' face turned ugly. He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then said, "Don't be too proud. There are always some unknown factors in basketball games. Maybe next time, LeBron will be able to seize the opportunity and beat Lu Yong's team. After all, the game is based on strength, not on past records."

The debate between the two became more and more heated, with sparks flying.

Kenny Smith watched with great interest from the sidelines, occasionally interjecting to lighten the mood.

He knew very well that these two guests were both masters of verbal battles, and once they started debating, the scene would be quite exciting.

"Okay, okay, both of you stop arguing." Kenny Smith said with a smile, "In fact, I think both of you have a point. LeBron is indeed a great player, he has excellent leadership and scoring ability. And Lu Yong's team is also a strong team, they have excellent defense and teamwork, so this result is really hard to predict."

Upon hearing this, Pierce curled his lips and said, "Kenny, you are still too polite. Let me tell you, Lu Yong's team is invincible, and LeBron is no match for them at all."

Perkins sneered and said, "Paul, don't be too confident. There are always some unknown possibilities in basketball games. Maybe next time, LeBron can create a miracle and beat Lu Yong's team."

The debate entered a heated stage, with the three guests expressing their opinions and refusing to give in to each other.

Lu Yong sat in front of the computer, watching this wonderful debate and laughed.

As time went by, the debate gradually came to an end.

Kenny Smith, as a neutral, began to give his vote.

He took a deep breath and then slowly said: "After today's debate, I listened carefully to the opinions of the two guests. I think what Pierce said makes sense. Lu Yong's team is indeed a strong team. They have an advantage in the past record. However, I cannot ignore Perkins' point of view. LeBron is a great player with excellent leadership and scoring ability. So, I will vote for Pierce, but I hope Perkins will not be discouraged, because there are always some unknown possibilities in basketball games."

As Kenny Smith finished speaking, the debate officially ended.

Lu Yong turned off the computer and found that the program was quite interesting. He might watch a few more episodes when he had nothing to do.

Hannah on the side looked at Lu Yong with admiration and respect in her eyes.

She knew very well that Lu Yong was a true basketball genius with excellent tactical vision and leadership skills.

She believes that under Lu Yong's leadership, the Nets will be able to go further and establish a new dynasty.

As night falls, the city is shrouded in lights.

Lu Yong and Hannah walked out of the hotel hand in hand and strolled in the night.

Their faces were filled with smiles of happiness and satisfaction, as if the whole world was cheering for their success.

On this night full of unknowns and possibilities, Lu Yong also looks forward to future challenges and glories. (End of this chapter)
