Extracting skills from movies

Someone in the industry did a survey in a movie theater.

About one-fifth of the audience have watched the edited videos on the TVING platform before going to the cinema.

This ratio is quite impressive.

It is precisely because the promotional effect of the TVING platform is so explosive, and it is currently in a critical period of financing, that putting "Crazy Stone" on the shelves here is a perfect match.

But it is already mid-to-late May, and the ultimate fight with Tyson is about to begin.

In addition, "Baby Project" is about to be released, and it is essential to cooperate with Jackie Chan in the promotion and publicity, so I am destined to have no free time.

Just as he was about to go back, an unexpected phone call came in.

"NBA celebrity exhibition game, invite me to participate?"

Du Sheng was very surprised.

Because the person who called was Dayao.

"Yes, the NBA management asked me to bring you a message."

Yao Ming spoke directly and said with a smile:
"I guess he saw the popularity of your final against Tyson in half a month. It's been hotly discussed online and even Vanity Fair has published an article about it. Who wouldn't want to get in on the action?"

As this world-renowned cross-border duel is about to begin, it is no exaggeration to say that it is highly anticipated.

Although Tyson has retired, his achievements have not been surpassed to this day.

This time he made a high-profile comeback and challenged the world's number one middleweight champion in UFC. This kind of cross-border duel has always been the most talked-about in the boxing world.

In addition, Du Sheng's record is there, he has also mocked the North American boxing circle, and he is also a popular star, so it is hard not to attract attention.

Not to mention that UFC and the World Boxing Council (WBC) have been hyping this event for a month.

During this period, media magazines such as Vanity Fair and Boxing also reported extensively to attract traffic...

It is no exaggeration to say that nowadays almost everyone who has practiced boxing knows this.

The reason why it attracted the attention of the NBA Affairs Bureau was that when Du Sheng came to visit Yao Ming last year, they played two friendly matches together and it was clear that Yao Ming's basketball skills were quite good.

"Although NBA celebrity exhibition games are mostly for entertainment purposes, they rarely invite people outside the circle, right?"

Du Sheng had some guesses in his mind, but was still a little confused.

Of course he had heard of celebrity exhibition games, which were usually held as part of the transition to the post-season finals and were mainly for entertainment.

In addition to increasing the fun and viewing value of the competition, it also raises funds for charity.

Most of the participants are current stars, retired NBA stars, WNBA stars, and other stars in the sports world.

For example, "Shaquille O'Neal", "Penny Hardaway", Magic Johnson and others have participated.

There are also people from the entertainment industry, but the ones invited are basically those who are very well-known in the Beacon Country.

For example, rapper Common and actor Justin Timberlake.

Although this kind of game is mostly for entertainment purposes, its ratings are no worse than the NBA quarterfinals, and there is exposure and appearance fees, so many people are willing to go.

The problem is that Du Sheng doesn’t usually play in the basketball circle, and his popularity in North America is not even second-tier.

Is it just because you want to get some attention from the boxing duel?
He is very clear about his current weight in North America and thinks he will not be so casual.

As expected, Yao Ming was silent for a moment and said:
"You've heard of the Suns' core player, 'Little Bully' Amar'e Stoudemire.

He will also participate in this celebrity exhibition match, and he mentioned my name when he was interviewed by the media not long ago.

It’s just that I was injured last month, and I probably won’t be able to play for another month…”

Last month, he was injured while fighting for a rebound during a game and was diagnosed with a fracture of the fifth metatarsal bone in his left foot. He underwent surgery to implant a steel nail.

According to the recovery expectations, he is destined to miss the celebrity exhibition match in which he was originally scheduled to perform.

Under normal circumstances, absence does not matter, at most a substitution can be made.

But if you remain indifferent even when someone rides on you and does whatever he or she does to you, that would be too cowardly.

That’s right, the team the Rockets played against last month was the Suns.

The reason why Yao Ming was injured was that he was secretly pushed and kneaded by the "little bully" Stoudemire.

After listening to the brief explanation, Du Sheng said thoughtfully:

"I happen to be in Los Angeles, so I can just go out and play for fun."

In fact, even if Yao Ming didn't say it, he could probably guess the cause and effect.

After all, in his previous NBA career, the opponent was targeted by black stars many times, and conflicts even occurred.

For example, when Yao Ming first arrived in the NBA, he was looked down upon by "Big Shark" O'Neal, who even showed him his elbow as a welcome ceremony.

There is also the dunk king Mason, who was very dissatisfied with Yao Ming ranking first in the All-Star voting. He tried to dunk over his head many times, but was blocked by Yao Ming, and the two then had an argument.

When Yao Ming was warned by the referee to leave, he did not notice Mason's little move and was knocked to the ground by a back throw.

Of course, the most famous among them is the "Little Bully" Stoudemire.

He and Yao Ming were classmates, and he was also a candidate for the No. 1 pick in the NBA draft that year.

But Yao Ming's selection as the top pick made the little overlord very dissatisfied.

In his first few seasons as a rookie, he would always form cliques and pick on Yao Ming.

For example, last month, he yelled at Yao Ming when he scored a dunk over his head, and secretly raised his middle finger in provocation.

Later, Yao Ming couldn't bear it anymore and wanted to grab the opponent's rebound, but he was elbowed by the opponent and injured his toe when he landed unsteadily.

It was a combination of various reasons that led this honest man to make this call.

He knew Du Sheng's abilities very well and his basketball skills were also good. Although he couldn't let Du Sheng teach the little bully a lesson, he could still make him shut up.

This special celebrity exhibition match organized by the charity will be held at the Staples Center, the home of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Since Du Sheng has agreed, he certainly won't do anything without a purpose.

After all, the time is acceptable and there is no need to fly around.

Of course, it is still necessary to join the team and participate in simple training.

After all, many players and stars participated in this celebrity exhibition game.

In addition to star players from various NBA teams, retired stars such as Alonzo Mourning, who is known for his tough defense and dunks, Larry Johnson, nicknamed "Big Dog", and Antonio, who has played for multiple teams, will also appear.

In addition, well-known North American stars such as Nick Cannon, Akon, and Doug Iche will also join.

Baseball player Kirk Gisinger, football star Randy Moss and others will also join in the fun.

It's a hodgepodge, the point is to catch the eye.

Although the team is amateur, in order to avoid making low-level mistakes, some drills, joint training, tactical positioning, etc. must be done in place.

After two days of lively and exciting rehearsals, Du Sheng also got to know several North American basketball stars and celebrities.

For example, Larry Johnson, Nick Cannon, Busta Lez and others from the same team.

Not to mention Larry Johnson, who was a star power forward in the 90s and is still active in the NBA despite his retirement.

Nick Cannon is a singer and host. He is a frequent guest at NBA celebrity exhibition games and legends games, and often serves as a commentator for the games.

Busta Lez is a rapper who has participated in two exhibition competitions.

That night, the Staples Center was star-studded and the fans were very enthusiastic.

Several team performers arrived in Los Angeles and were interviewed by the media at the hotel.

"Little Overlord, I heard that the league has invited the Eastern Boxing Champion to participate in the post-season celebrity exhibition match."

A reporter asked:
"You might play against each other, are you looking forward to the game?"

Stadler said in surprise:
"Who is the Oriental Boxing Champion? Are there still yellow people playing in the NBA?"

"Ha ha……"

Some players and media reporters laughed.

Yao Ming was injured and did not return to the team, Battelle was cut in the middle of the season, and there are really no yellow people in the NBA.

The irony in this is really too strong.

In the two guest games tonight, Stoudemire and Du Sheng were indeed divided into the first and second teams respectively.

First team list: Boris Diaw, Stoudemire, Leandro Barbosa, Antonio, Doug Iche, etc. Second team list: Luis Scola, Du Sheng, Chuck Hayes, Mutombo, Larry Johnson, Nick Cannon, Busta Lez, etc.

The game will be broadcast live by TNT.

At the same time, Yangshi also broadcast the game in real time, and the live broadcast room was set up in the front.

On the TNT live show, host Kenny Smith said:
"Since the four evil men retired one after another, the court has always lacked some bloodiness.
Today's match not only has the Eastern Boxing Champion, but also the famous tough guy Alonzo Mourning, so the match should be very exciting."

"Will you fight?"

Another host, Barkley, said with a hint of anticipation.

"Probably not. They just have excellent individual abilities, but they will be fined for fighting. It's not worth it to be banned or blacklisted."

Kenny Smith laughed.

He certainly knew why Barkley was so looking forward to it.

After all, four years ago, this guy made fun of Yao Ming crazily on the show, and even said that if Yao Ming scored 19 points, he would kiss the donkey's ass.

As a result, Yao Ming scored 20 points, and Barkley got what he wanted, and it is still talked about by people in the circle.

Although Barkley felt a little disappointed that Yao Ming was unable to appear this time, there was still an Asian guest on the scene.

This naturally became his first target of ridicule.

"There have been four fights on the court this year. It's hard to say!"

Barkley chuckled and remained expectant.

Although the number of fights on the court has been reduced by more than half as the league has introduced strict regulations and fines, it does not mean that they no longer exist.

For example, the physical conflict between the Pistons and the Magic not long ago, the pushing and shoving conflict between James and Stewart, and the incident in which Kobe elbowed Miller.

In the second team's locker room, a media reporter approached Du Sheng with a smile:

"Hey, Du, I heard that the Bully said he's never heard of you? What do you think?"

Du Sheng raised his head lazily, with a playful smile on his face:

"Tell him that he is the same as Barkley. He will never get a championship trophy in his lifetime. He should just retire early."

The news quickly spread to the first team's locker room.

When the little bully Stoudemire heard this, he immediately got furious:

"What? How dare this ignorant rookie say that to me?"

He glared at the reporter with gritted teeth, his face full of anger.

Boris Dio, who was sitting nearby, sneered and interjected:
"It seems we need to teach this yellow-skinned loudmouth a lesson."

Du Sheng had previously said that most black athletes have body odor, which made him think about it.

"That's right!"

Stoudemire waved his arms, which were as thick as tree trunks, with a fierce light in his eyes:
"NBA has never been the home of the yellow race. Let's give him a game of 'wealth' tonight!"

Even Yao Ming was defeated by him secretly, let alone a skinny monkey who was half his size!
On game night, the Staples Center was brightly lit.

When Du Sheng walked out of the player tunnel with the team, he immediately noticed that something was wrong with the atmosphere.

Stoudemire and Dio were staring at him with hostility.

"Are these the legendary Sun Duo? Their sizes are indeed amazing."

Du Sheng secretly compared himself in his mind and felt that he was not inferior to the UFC heavyweight boxers in every aspect.

Moreover, these two are well-known tough guys, known for their ferocity in the league.

Whether it's stepping on the instep, locking the throat or elbowing, they can do it with ease, and even many veterans keep their distance from them.

Stoudemire strode towards Du Sheng, casting a shadow in front of him.

He is 2.08 meters tall, weighs 111 kg, and his maximum bench press is over 220 kg, making him a true king.

In terms of body shape alone, the well-proportioned Du Sheng was obviously inferior to him.

Stoudemire flexed his biceps in front of Du Sheng and said in a cold voice:

"I heard you cursed us to never win the championship?"

The right arm has an arm circumference of 55 cm and is extremely strong. It is at least one circle thicker than Du Sheng's.

Chuck Hayes didn't want to see another fight, so he stepped forward to stop them:
"Stoudemire, calm down!"

Luis Scola, the core of the team, just stood there, indifferent to all this.

Fortunately, Stadler's mind was not full of shit, and he was pulled back by his teammates.

At the start of the game, Du Sheng played as shooting guard.

During the jump ball session, Mutombo and Boris Diaw had a fierce competition, and finally the second team got the right to attack.

Luis Scola quickly turned around and made a jump shot to score the first two points.

In a subsequent confrontation, Du Sheng was hit hard in the right chest by Stoudemire. Although it was not serious, it was enough to make people angry.

It was Team One's turn to attack, and Boris Diaw took the ball to the top of the arc.

He did not choose to cooperate with Stoudemire in the pick-and-roll, but instead accelerated and broke through directly, and hit Nick Cannon, who was in charge of defense, with his elbow.

The latter groaned, staggered back half a step, and lost his defensive position.

At the same time, Luis Scola and Du Sheng quickly retreated their defense to prepare for the next attack.

"boom!"

In the fight with Stoudemire, Du Sheng was not to be outdone. He took advantage of the referee's inattention and quietly returned an elbow to the opponent's waist.

Stoudemire stumbled back two steps, shocked, and couldn't help but trash-talk Du Sheng:

"Yellow-skinned guy, you acted like a pile of shit on the field, go back to the East and play in the mud!"

"I like to play with big, thick, black guys. If you're brave, come to the locker room later."

Du Sheng retorted coldly.

"Shit! Do you really think I'm afraid of you?"

While defending, Stoudemire responded without showing any weakness.

It's the second team's turn to attack.

In the low post on the right wing, Du Sheng used his physical advantage to easily carry Doug Iche, a guard who was one size bigger than him, and shouted to the top of the arc:

"Nick!"

Nick Cannon quickly passed the ball.

At this time, the first team's defense line quickly shrank, and even small forward Leandro Barbosa retreated to the paint area.

Facing Stoudemire's top defense and the impenetrable defense in front of him, Du Sheng suddenly turned around and chose to take the initiative.

Doug Iche mistakenly thought that he would break through and wanted to move sideways to get to the top position, but Du Sheng took a step back and made a direct three-point jump shot.

With the technical support of "Basketball Skills LV3/Blue", and the fact that this ball is almost open, you can feel the rhythm of the goal the moment you shoot.

Accompanied by the classic OK gesture, the basketball went into the net!
"Shh!"

Water splashed everywhere and the atmosphere on the scene was instantly ignited.

The media cameras behind the baseline flashed wildly at Du Sheng.

"Damn you rookie! Stop pretending, I'll kill you next time!"

When Stadler saw Du Sheng's arrogant celebration, he gritted his teeth in anger.

But just now he tried his best but still couldn't push Du Sheng away. Then he remembered that the man in front of him was the world boxing champion, and cursed in his heart:
"Dead pervert!"

Du Sheng raised his hand and said provocatively:
"Come out and face me, and stop squeaking like a woman!"

Stadler's face suddenly turned gloomy.

He's a beast in the interior, and if he goes out to match up with your guard, I'm fucking sick.
