Chapter 352 [The realm sublimates, continues to lead]

The Wizards were given a 4-day break, and they played away to the Rockets after Thanksgiving. From the schedule, we can vaguely see David Stern's care for the Wizards and his thoughts.

The president hopes that Jordan can retire gracefully. Now he has started planning the farewell ceremony for the All-Star Game. Once there is a farewell ceremony, it will block Jordan's way to fight again next season. star, right?

Stern does not like Jordan's comeback, because Carter, Kobe and other stars have been won.If Jordan can really beat them, it will make fans question the strength of the new star, which is not conducive to the league's publicity.Jordan's loss is also not good for the league. The gods who worked so hard back then became mortals.

Yang Rui joined the Wizards, making everything subtle. Stern suddenly discovered that the coach could also be the protagonist of the team.The Raptors quickly weakened, and the Wizards became stronger. Everyone could see that winning had a lot to do with Yang Rui.Now when people talk about the Wizards, they all think that Yang Rui has the most credit, and Jordan is just an ordinary star.

Yang Rui organized training in the offseason, and strived to make perimeter players play a greater role, and was no longer regarded as a penalty team by fans.Because of the average outside shooting, Yang Rui feels that the Wizards are not as good as the Suns in the 2005 and 2007 seasons.Hornacek's role in the team is particularly critical, he coaches everyone to shoot.

In life, because Yang Rui increased his investment in "Lost in Translation", the filming was much more detailed, a lot of large-scale location shooting was added, and the shooting time was a little longer.

On November 11th, Stana Katic returned to Washington to spend Thanksgiving with Yang Rui.

Stana was in a state of excitement, talking about what she saw in Japan, as well as interesting things during filming.

When it comes to the price of high-grade watermelon, which is a specialty of Toma Town, Hokkaido, Japan, even celebrities feel a lot of pressure. Stana first opened a watermelon and ate two pieces of it.

When it comes to acting, she is full of confidence: "Sophia is very strict. Compared with when I filmed "Resident Evil", I feel that my realm has been sublimated. I will definitely become an acting school in the future."

It is said that the acting skills of a movie are actually learned with time. When you meet a good script and a good director who is willing to carve out the actors, plus a little aura and talent, you can basically perform well.

No amount of TV dramas will have this effect, because TV dramas are like online texts, like fast food, as long as the actors perform well, the director will generally let it go, and the audience will have a good time watching it.

Sophia cared about this movie very much, so she strictly demanded Stana during the shooting, and her partner was Bill Murray, an old actor.

"Have you done anything else besides filming? Have you traveled in Japan?" Yang Rui asked with a smile.

"I originally wanted to play with Anna (Faris), but it's inconvenient to travel. You can't imagine how popular I am in Tokyo. Many people ask me for autographs and group photos. I have more fans than Bill Murray. , this is incredible." Stanna said proudly.

The game is made by the Japanese, and Japanese people set up European and American plots, and Stana is of course popular.

Yang Rui said with a smile: "I tell you the good news. Facebook has been tracking the news of "Lost in Translation", and it has also included a lot of on-set photos. This movie has received a lot of attention. After it is released, I think you will win an award."

"It's hard to win such a low-budget movie, right?" Stana laughed.Of course she wants to win.

"A bet? I bet you win and the movie's reputation will be very good."

"Okay, what are you betting on?"

Yang Rui whispered a few words in Stana's ear, and Stana punched him with a blushing face. "It's settled, you rascal."

Yang Rui was not so happy with the Wizards to win. He knew that the bet would win, and he just hoped that the movie would be released sooner.Stana's popularity is much higher than that of Scarlett in Yang Rui's previous life. It is impossible to change to a famous actor, and the movie's reputation has declined instead.

After Thanksgiving, Yang Rui led the team to Houston to challenge the Rockets, and Stana flew to Los Angeles to attend the premiere of the new film "Scream 3" starring Anna Faris.

During filming in Japan, the two became friends, and after returning, Stana became more lively than before.

This is really the red who is close to Zhu, and the one who is close to ink is black. Yang Rui, who has seen the "Scream" series of movies, of course knows that Anna has a lot of personality and is a true performance.In his previous life, Anna also found a funny fat man to be her husband.

At that time, many people did not understand why she would find someone who did not match her image. Later, that person became thinner and more handsome, and was nicknamed "Star Lord", and people began to admire her vision.

Never laugh at fat people, because every fat person is a potential stock.

Against the Rockets, the Wizards won again, 96-93.

The Rockets did not select Yao Ming, and they did not receive much attention in the United States or China. The core of the team is the combination of Bibby and Mobley. The two have a good offense but not a good defense.Forward Glenn Rice and Eddie Griffin partnered, and the defense was also flawed. The team's best defense was center Kevin Cato, who was highly paid and underpowered.

The Wizards' teamwork was terrible. Yang Rui's tactics before the game were basically in vain.

乔丹状态糟糕，只得8分2篮板5助攻，斯塔达迈尔在卡托的防守下也只得10分4篮板。

这场发威的是汉密尔顿和布泽尔，前者20投12中，三分2中1，罚球4中3，得到28分5篮板3助攻；后者打爆了火箭替补莫里斯-泰勒，狂砍26分12篮板。

Taylor is also a representative of the league's high salary and low energy. The annual salary is 10 times that of Boozer, but the two are one-sided.

Then, the Wizards defeated the Grizzlies 104-85 back-to-back, winning ten straight games.

This trip to Texas was extremely easy. The Grizzlies' core guard Byron Davis underwent surgery to recover from an injury and will miss about 20 games.The Grizzlies had the worst start in the Western Conference, going 1-13.The starting perimeter combination of Blevin Knight and Gordon Kirisek can't prevent any team's offense.

On November 11, the Wizards were challenged by the Pacers at home, winning 26 to 94 and winning 88 straight games.

Among the starting five, only Jordan and Stoudamire scored in double figures, and Stoudemire had 11 points and 5 rebounds.

这次抽风的是乔丹，面对老对手雷吉-米勒的防守，他21投10中，三分球3中3，罚球8中6，得到29分4篮板3助攻3抢断。

The Pacers have never met Jordan's team in the playoffs, and no one has said that Reggie Miller is Jordan's lifelong enemy. Obviously, Miller's matchup with Jordan is a problem.

If it weren't for the comprehensive data of Jaylen Rose's 26 points, 5 rebounds and 5 assists, the Pacers would have to surrender early, and their goal this year is only to enter the playoffs.It's about Isiah Thomas' position.If he doesn't make the playoffs, he will definitely be fired.

On the 29th, the Wizards played the Pacers again on the road. This time, Brad Miller showed his power and scored a triple-double of 22 points, 14 rebounds and 11 assists.

On the 30th, the Wizards played back-to-back home games against the 76ers, winning 104-95, refusing to lose a losing streak.

这场马绍尔20投14中，三分球10中6，罚球6中4，狂砍38分5篮板，没有助攻。

The Wizards lost only two games in November and went 11-14, continuing to rank first in the league.
