I'm not really a brutalist striker

Chapter 76 76. Brand sweater shooting, a long road trip to the west!

The next morning, when Suter was alarmed by a rapid alarm, he felt exhausted all over his body. The feeling was not muscle soreness, but more like a mental trance.

Dream training does not affect the physical state in real life, which Suter has personally verified before.

But even so, last night's actual training still made Suter feel nervous, as if he had really played with Chris Webber all night, and the whole process was real and exhausting.

Sitting up and pressing the alarm clock, Su Te subconsciously rubbed the temples on both sides with his hands. Seeing that it was more than nine o'clock, Su Te sighed helplessly.

"Chris Webber is truly one of the best ball-handling power forwards in NBA history, and it's exhausting to play against him."

"Dog J. ba Webber is as flexible as a guard in playing the ball. Tonight, I will knock a dog leg off him!"

"However, the rewards of this night are also huge. If I continue to train at this pace, it won't take long before my stealing ability should be substantially improved."

Since the Eagles will start their own away trip next, the continuous long journey will make it difficult for the players to get too comfortable rest.

Therefore, the team did not arrange training today, but took a day off to allow the players to adjust to the best condition as possible to prepare for the consecutive away trips in the near future.

Putting on his clothes and going downstairs, Suter saw that breakfast was already set on the kitchen table as soon as he got off the stairs, and the milk was still steaming vaguely. It didn't seem to be long.

"you're awake."

"It must have been very late when I came back from the game yesterday. I was afraid that you wouldn't get enough sleep, so I didn't call you in the morning. Breakfast is ready. Sit down and have a bite."

"Tom just finished calling me and said that you didn't have training today, and he will come here with the company people in the afternoon."

"The vulture brand's sweater is already ready. He plans to let us take a few shots this afternoon. If there are no problems, it can be put into mass production tomorrow."

Looking at Suter who came down the stairs, Nina Dobrev was wearing an apron in front of her, holding a plate of sandwiches in the kitchen and looking up with a smile.

Especially when it comes to the shooting of the sweater, Dubov looks a little happy, and he must have been waiting for this day for a long time.

Dubov's biggest dream is to become a model/actor in the future. The establishment of the Vulture brand is the first time that Dubov has the opportunity to be known.

Although as early as before, Dubov occasionally endorsed some products, such as toilets and water cups, while practicing gymnastics.

But those things are all unknown brands, not to mention bringing attention to Nina Dobrev, it would be a blessing not to be dug out and ridiculed in the future.

But this time being the endorsement model at the vulture brand conference is obviously different for Dubov.

Souter was originally a public figure with a large number of fans, and his explosive style of play is very attractive to young fans in their 20s.

Once the "Vulture" brand sweater is officially released, in addition to Dubov's beautiful appearance will be known to more fans, Dubov can also get a wave of traffic from Suter.

If the effect is outstanding, Dubov is very likely to enter the circle completely because of this endorsement. This scene is something that Dubov can wake up with a smile in his dreams.

Of course, what makes Dubov happy is naturally the shot of the brand sweater with Suter. As one of Suter's many fans, Dubov feels that he is extremely lucky.

While being able to use this to open up career paths, you can also blatantly pursue stars during the work process. This kind of thing just sounds pleasant.

Looking at Dubov's outfit from top to bottom, even though Dubov only put on a little makeup at home, his face is still breathtakingly beautiful. As for his figure, it seems that he is not bound by age at all.

The place that should be convex is convex, and the place that should be warped is warped. With those seductive long legs, Suter couldn't help but turn sideways and adjust the "trajectory".

Constantly reminding himself in his heart that he started three years ago, Su Te forced himself not to look at the long, straight, white legs under the apron.

"So fast?"

"I thought it would take a while to shoot. I didn't expect Tom to be so fast. He really is the fastest man in America!"

Picking up the sandwich casually and taking a bite, Suter gave a thumbs up teasingly.

Putting his hand over his mouth and laughing a few times, Dubov turned around and brought some food, steak, pizza, and Suter's favorite Orleans grilled wings.

Before coming to the United States, Suter always thought that the delicacy of Orleans grilled wings came from New Orleans, but after coming to the United States, Suter realized that Orleans grilled wings had nothing to do with Orleans.

It’s as if Chongqing Chicken Pot is not a snack that originated in Chongqing at all, but the founder of Chicken Pot is Zhang Chongqing, a native of Putian, Fujian.

"Don't be too busy, sit down and eat something, I can't digest so many things by myself." Su Te helped pull a chair.

Hearing Suter's words, Dubov smiled and brushed his hair behind his ears. Although his greedy eyes were fixed on the steak, he replied extremely stubbornly: "I don't want it. , I’m going to shoot the camera in the afternoon, I’m losing weight, don’t hurt me!”

"I also want to show my best side to others. If I become a fat person because of gluttony, I will cry to death in the kitchen!"

After taking a sip of milk, Suter wiped the stains from the corners of his mouth with a paper towel, and looked up at Nina Dobrev with a smile on his face.

"It's not a problem to lose weight, but how can you lose weight if you don't eat enough?"

"Losing weight is a physical effort, and it's easy to move after you're full."

"And you just need to eat the food quickly when the fat is not paying attention, so that the fat can't respond, and you will naturally not gain weight."

Sitting on the chair in a daze, Dubov was a little dazed by Suter's words. He lowered his head as if thinking. It was not until two seconds later that Dubov raised his head with aggrieved expression.

"big liar!"

"You want to trick me into eating again! It was because of you last time that I gained two catties the next day!"

"This time the devil will believe you!"

"Hahaha." Can't help laughing out loud, looking at Nina Dobrev who is not in the big dye vat in front of him, Su Te thinks it's really interesting to tease this guy if he has nothing to do.

In the afternoon of the same day, Tom brought the team to Atlanta to start shooting photos and publicity about the vulture brand sweater.

During filming, some ridiculous things happened.

Since the vulture sweater involved couple models, this also caused Dubov and Suter to have to shoot in couple-like poses many times.

Among them, the shooting poses with Suter were too intimate several times, and with a group of people watching around, Dubov couldn't help but blushed. The two red faces looked like apples, which attracted Tom on the scene. Waiting for the ridicule of others.

Originally, Dubov thought that there were only himself and Suter during the shooting, and at most the photographer, three people were present.

Unexpectedly, there were so many people watching, filming, lighting, costume modeling, action guidance and a series of staff.

This scene is definitely something that Dubov did not expect, and it is also something that Dubov has not experienced.

On the other hand, Suter is more natural during the shooting process. Although Suter has never been a model, the long-term iron training makes Suter's muscles look very attractive, and the overall body shape is very coordinated.

As for intimacy, cuddling Nina Dobrev, this is something Suter is really good at. After all, Suter has more than 1 fans watching every game, and Suter is also a passionate, kind person. A good man who understands (clothes)!

Even when the photographer took multiple sets of photos in a row and was about to change the next action, Suter couldn't help pulling the photographer to take two more photos. The whole person's enthusiasm for work was simply too much!

With the help of the photographer, Su Te can make a poster with any pose he puts on, matching it with a Vulture brand sweater, and Su Te's face comparable to "the third master of the body", this temperament even the photographer Jack They all praised.

"Honestly, if Sue wasn't playing, I think he would be the hottest model in America."

"This guy is simply a born clothes embryo. Wearing a sweater on him can really arouse customers' desire to buy."

"There is no doubt that once the vulture brand's sweater is released, it will definitely attract young people's attention."

"Especially this group of couples, when the price is not high, few young people can refuse the temptation of this suit."

He looked up at Suter, who was still full of ideas, and at Nina Dobrev, who had been sitting on one side with flushed cheeks and silent after the filming. The more Jack looked, the more he felt that the two were like A real couple.

The man is handsome and eye-catching, with a strong body, and the woman is attractive and beautiful. If there is a model couple, it is probably nothing more than this.

Pressing his wrist in Jack's direction, Suter said with a smile on his face: "Low-key, low-key, just handsome, nothing special."

"???"

"Bah! Shameless!" Dubov couldn't help raising his shy face, and whispered in Su Te's direction.

.........

On the 14th, the Eagles started their long-distance road trip.

For the first game in the West, the Eagles were a guest in Houston, challenging the Houston Rockets led by the "little giant" Yao Ming.

Although the Rockets' nominal head star this season is still "Frankie" Francis, second-year rookie Yao Ming has already crushed Francis in terms of personal data.

弗朗西斯上个赛季还能砍下场均21分6篮板6助攻以及1.6次抢断的数据，不过本赛季截至目前，弗朗西斯的个人数据已经下滑到16.6分5篮板以及6次助攻。

Even averaging 14.1 shots per game is a career low for Francis, even fewer than the number of shots taken in his rookie season.

On the other hand, Yao Ming, although it is only his second year in the NBA, has averaged 17.5 points, 9 rebounds, 1.5 assists and 1.9 blocks per game, and his 53.5% field goal percentage is the highest among all Rockets players.

And all this is because of the new Rockets head coach Jeff Van Gundy's appointment.

As the mentor of the future Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau, Van Gundy's coaching style is a typical defensive coach, and he believes that the closer to the basket, the higher the shooting rate.

The position that Van Gundy is best at is the center forward, especially a center forward like Yao Ming who has both offensive and defensive capabilities.

During the coaching of the Knicks, Jeff Van Gundy's use of "Gorilla" Ewing was obvious to all, which is why the Rockets management chose to hire Van Gundy as the Rockets' head coach for the new season.

I hope Van Gundy can help the "Little Giant" Yao Ming realize his potential and become an outstanding center like "Gorilla" Ewing.

In a sense, Van Gundy did improve Yao Ming's early personal strength.

At the very least, Van Gundy's use of Yao Ming is much better than last season's Rockets head coach Tomjanovich. He is willing to use Yao Ming as the core to arrange tactics on the court, instead of letting Yao Ming only be a second attack after grabbing rebounds blue-collar players.

Unfortunately, in order to improve Yao Ming's offensive dominance in the interior, Van Gundy suggested that Yao Ming should increase his weight significantly. As early as the off-season, he arranged a series of weight gain plans for Yao Ming, without considering whether to improve Yao Ming's knees and ankles. Can withstand the burden of weight gain for a long time.

Or, things in the future are not within the scope of Jeff Van Gundy's thinking at all. What Van Gundy has to do is to help Yao Ming realize his potential and improve Yao Ming's data next season.

In fact, many fans in later generations believe that Jeff Van Gundy ruined Yao Ming, but in this period, Van Gundy's weight gain suggestions are remarkable and not enough to cause a devastating blow to Yao Ming's career.

Before the "Shark" O'Neal completely declined, the league is still in an era of fierce confrontation with insiders. Gaining weight is not a bad thing for Yao Ming, who is only in the second grade.

In the first two seasons after ushering in Jeff Van Gundy, Yao Ming played 82 games and 80 games respectively, and he missed only two games in total in the two seasons.

And Yao Ming's average playing time in these two seasons is only about 31 minutes combined, which is far from being a devastating use.

What makes Yao Ming really overwhelmed is the call of the national team. Regardless of the size of the game, they call Yao Ming habitually, so that Yao Ming travels back and forth between China and the United States all year round. overwhelmed.

During the offseason, other players can at least usher in a rest period of more than three months, but Yao Ming has to reduce his rest due to international competitions.

This kind of intensive schedule of running around the NBA and international competitions all year round is enough to destroy the career of any player.

Especially for a giant like Yao Ming with a height of nearly [-] meters, the consumption and physical strain on the court are much higher than that of a defender. In just one or two months, it is not enough for Yao Ming to adjust his physical condition to optimal.

In addition, after Jeff Van Gundy dismissed get out of class, the next head coach of the Rockets, Rick Adelman, was the culprit for Yao Ming's exhaustion.

During his time playing for Jeff Van Gundy, Yao Ming averaged about 32.3 minutes per game.

In the first season after Adelman took over the Rockets, Yao Ming's average playing time rose to 37.2 minutes per game. Coupled with Yao Ming's inherent injury hazards, Yao Ming's career completely entered the abyss.

Up to now, Yao Ming's advantage after gaining weight is still relatively obvious. Whether it is the dominance of the restricted area or the collision of strength, he has reached the level of the league's top center.

As long as Yao Ming can adjust his weight according to changes in the league's style of play in the future, and try to avoid other games other than the NBA, Yao Ming's career will most likely be rewritten.

Even if he can't reach the level of "Shark" O'Neal, he can definitely become one of the most dominant center players in the 21st century.

But these things are destined to be something later. At the right time, Suter will naturally extend a helping hand to Yao Ming. Even if it is just a casual piece of advice, it is likely to bring unexpected surprises to Yao Ming.

In this game against the Rockets, the Eagles still played relatively easily. Even if the Rockets' record this season is not too bad, they can currently rank eighth in the West. The Eagles pose too much of an exaggerated threat.

Even the "Boss" Francis, this season's shooting percentage is only 40%, and the three-point shooting percentage has dropped to 29%.

Nash adhered to the principle of letting go and not letting go, and with the help of Suter and Stephen Jackson from time to time, Francis still played very uncomfortable in the game.

As for the Rockets' starting power forward Maurice Taylor, he was almost beaten by Suter.

Taylor is 118 meters tall and weighs [-] kilograms. He is very strong at the power forward position.

This season, Maurice Taylor averaged 11.5 points, 5.1 rebounds and 1.4 assists per game. He is strong, not slow, and has a shooting percentage of 48%. He is considered a relatively stable player.

However, Suter's inside impact is too strong, especially in cooperation with Steve Nash. When Yao Ming was withdrawn from the penalty area by Rasheed Wallace at this point, no one in the Rockets could defend against Suter's impact. Dunk at the rim.

The three badges of button master, lightning badge, and savage collision have already provided Suter with huge bonuses, from speed to strength to body stability, which can be called a one-stop service.

Now, Suter is paired with a point guard at the level of Steve Nash, which makes other teams miserable when defending Suter.

In addition, because Yao Ming is too big, once the Rockets miss outside shots and Yao Ming cannot grab offensive rebounds, Souter completely makes the Rockets unable to defend when launching a counterattack.

Without an outstanding big player like Yao Ming guarding the penalty area, Suter sprinted like a beast. With the blessing of the passive skill King of Run and Gun, he almost tore apart the Rockets' defense.

With 26 points, 9 rebounds, 2 assists, 2 steals and 1 block in the game, the Houston Rockets, which ranks fifth in the league in defensive efficiency this season, have been smashed. In the end, they defeated the Rockets by 11 points in the away game and won two consecutive seasons. While winning, it also made a good start for the Western Conference road trip.
