Chapter 283 System Task: Improve Plum Blossom Pile Footwork
On May 5, the Suns had breakfast at the hotel in the morning, and then set off to return to Phoenix.

This morning, ESPN adjusted a team's chances of winning.

To be precise, this team is the only Suns team that has reached the Western Conference Finals so far.

The probability of winning the championship has increased from 35% before the start of the second round to 45%, which means that ESPN is more optimistic about the prospects of the Suns winning the championship.

"Consecutive sweeps, the Suns are in full swing, aiming for the championship!" Los Angeles Times.

"Old K completely destroyed the postman, led his team to sweep the Jazz, and the most dominant center in the league appeared!" Los Angeles Sports News.

The major media are also full of various praises for the Suns. Among them, the media in Los Angeles are the most positive, especially for Wang Tiejun, which is more positive than the media in Phoenix.

Not only the media in Los Angeles praised Old K, but even the owner of the Lakers, Mr. Bass, general manager Jerry West, and several famous players of the team also went into battle in person, and praised Lao Wang in front of the media.

"The Lakers have bad intentions!"

Colangelo got off the plane and didn't go home. Instead, he returned to the headquarters to deal with various affairs. His assistant put some of today's newspapers on his desk. He flipped through them. After seeing the remarks of the major media in Los Angeles and the Lakers, he felt a crisis.

After thinking for a while, he picked up the handset of the landline and made a call skillfully.

"Hello, this is CAA, and I'm Lance Hawksman."

"Hi, Mr. Hawksman, I'm Colangelo."

"Oh, it's Mr. Colangelo, hello. Congratulations, the Suns have swept again, and old K is even stronger."

"Yes, thank you. But Lance, I'm a little concerned right now. Do you have time now? I hope to have an interview with you."

"Sorry, Mr. Colangelo, there are a lot of company affairs recently, and I can't communicate with you in time. But we still can't spare time, sorry."

"That's too bad!"

After hanging up the phone, Colangelo recalled what Hawksman said just now, and pondered a little problem.

Just now, what Hawksman said at the end was us, not me, which means that it is not he who is busy during this time, but they are busy, and the people related to CAA, except for Hawksman, the executive agent, is the only genuine exclusive agent, that is, CAA's vice president Jamaloni.

"Has anything happened to Jay Malone?"

He thought about it suspiciously, he had no clue, he was like a mountain apart, he didn't understand anything about the entertainment industry at all, so he could only let it go.

"Old K, congratulations!"

Hawksman over there was at the CAA headquarters in Los Angeles. After hanging up the phone, he called Wang Tiejun.

"Thank you! Lance, haven't you finished your work yet?" Old Wang said.

"Okay, old K, one thing after another, we just helped Michael sell MCA to West Ham. By the way, MCA is the parent company of Universal Pictures. This matter has not been announced yet, and another big event is about to happen." Hawksman said.

"Oh, then you are busy."

He knew that the Michael Hawksman was talking about was not Jordan, but Michael Ovitz, the president of CAA, one of the most powerful people in Hollywood, and he could even be said to be the most powerful man in Hollywood in this era, but this had nothing to do with him. He was not interested in any major events of CAA, as long as his affairs were not delayed.

He knew that Hawksman refused to interview with Mr. Colangelo and the Lakers teams because of the busy business of CAA, but this was just a reason for delay. The real reason was that he did not want to discuss this issue before the end of the season.

And he himself doesn't want to be distracted by this problem before the season is over.

Hawksman then told him that Michael Ovitz, the president of CAA and one of the five founders of the company, intends to leave CAA and become the president of Disney Pictures, but this matter will not have much impact on CAA, nor will it have any impact on him. If the media breaks the news, he does not need to worry.

The reason why he and Jamaloni are very busy now is because Jamaloni wants to take over as the president of CAA, so there are so many things to do.

"Is Ovitz crazy?"

Hanging up the phone, he muttered.

"What's the matter?" Yu Feihong asked.

After he said something, Yu Feihong guessed gossipingly: "If you change the president, Disney won't go bankrupt, right?"

Old Wang was stunned: "How did you think of going bankrupt?"

"Liu Tianwang's Tianmu Company has also gone bankrupt!" Yu Feihong said.

"How did you go bankrupt?" He asked casually.

"The Legend of God of War filmed last year hit the market. He lost 4000 million yuan and then went bankrupt. Now he is frantically filming to pay off his debts," Yu Feihong said.

"Oh, then when you open a movie company in the future, don't make that kind of movie." He hurriedly said.

Yu Feihong rolled his eyes at him and said, "That's a good way to put it. He made that movie to make a lot of money. In our circle, out of ten movies made, nine of them lost money. If all of them made money, they wouldn't look for investors. Wouldn't it be better to shoot with their own money?"

"..."

Lao Wang was completely stunned. It turns out that making movies is the most dangerous investment!It's better to be cautious. If he doesn't have a safe land, he will insist on not being a film investor in the future, so as not to be tricked to death by these filmmakers.

He remembered the phone call just now and said. "By the way, Lance told me just now that the movie "Red Zone" filmed by Chenglong will be released in the United States in July. I was invited to attend the premiere, and I was paid 100 million US dollars for an appearance fee."

"Red Fan District? It's very popular in China. It was released at the end of January. It has just been released. The box office in the mainland is tens of millions. It has created a trend for Chinese New Year movies. I don't know if it will be successful in Hollywood." Yu Feihong said.

"New Year's card?"

He muttered for a while, and asked, "Do you have any pirated discs? Find them and have a look, and see them first."

Yu Feihong was stunned, "Old K, you should be an individual. They paid 100 million US dollars to invite you to the premiere, so why don't you buy pirated discs?"
That afternoon, Lao Wang and Yu Feihong went to the K martial arts gym.

There are not many people in the martial arts gym. There are only a dozen brothers who teach martial arts classes in Phoenix, and there are more than 40 brothers who give medicated oil massage to Phoenix VIP customers. There are less than [-] people in total.

Dozens of other people basically followed the celebrity VIP customers in Hollywood and became their dedicated massage therapists.

The treatment is good. Apart from the salary from the company, those celebrities are not stingy, they eat and drink with them, and sometimes they can fly around the world.

Tian Xiaofen made dozens of catties of spicy crayfish, and three large pots were boiling, the fragrance was so delicious that it made people drool.

In addition to crayfish, there are also stewed pig's trotters, stewed pig's ears and stewed peanuts.

These things are leftovers that no one eats in the United States. They are terribly cheap, and they don’t cost much in total. The marinade is also prepared by ourselves.

It's just that Lao Wang can't eat too much, and it's okay to taste it occasionally.

"Brother Zhang, come to the martial arts hall for dinner, and we got crayfish."

"Okay, come here now."

Lao Wang made a phone call to Zhang Lili, they also arrived in Phoenix, and asked the five of them to come over for dinner.

At 06:30, the students in the martial arts class dismissed the get out of class. At [-] o'clock, some brothers who went out to do massage services came back, and everyone had dinner together after all the people arrived.

"Brother Tielong, how is business doing recently?" Old Wang and Wang Tielong sat together and asked casually.

"busy!"

Wang Tielong just said one word, and then said: "You have too much influence here. Now martial arts classes are sold out a lot, and hundreds of people come to class every day. VIP programs are also sold, and now there are more than 260 VIP customers in total."

Lao Wang nodded and smiled, "Where are the VIPs mainly?"

"The locals account for half, and there are many in Los Angeles, that is, those Hollywood stars. Tie Jun, I think you have to open a branch there. Half of our brothers work as massage therapists next to those stars. There is no branch that is inconvenient to manage there. And it is more convenient to have a branch over there when purchasing medicinal materials." Wang Tielong said.

"That's all right, brother Tielong, you can handle the matter of the branch library, anyway, there is money in the account." Wang Tiejun nodded.

At eight o'clock, the second round of G5 in the Eastern Conference started.

In the end, the Bulls defeated the Pacers, eliminated their opponents with a big score of [-] to [-], and reached the Eastern Conference Finals, becoming the second team to reach the finals.

Half an hour later, the Magic were defeated by the Knicks, and the two teams drew [-]-[-].

"The poor big sewer was killed by Ewing and Oakley, and he only scored 17 points. Is this because the sewer is blocked?" After watching the game, Lao Wang complained.

"Old K, who is more powerful, you or him? I see that some media are discussing who is more dominant, you or him." Yu Feihong asked.

"You are asking this, of course I am stronger." Lao Wang laughed.

"Didn't the media say that he is more athletic than you?" Yu Feihong said.

"That was before, and he was indeed a few grades better than me, but now he weighs 140 kilograms, so he is not necessarily much better than me. How fast can he run with all the fat on his back?"

When he said this, he added: "And in terms of technique, he is not necessarily better than me. I am stronger in low backs, stronger against me, I am better than him in hooks, and I am not worse than him in throws. His skills are also average and immature. If you say that he is better than me in turning and fake moves, he has gained dozens of pounds, and he is still a little more flexible than me."

Zhang Lili said cheerfully at this time: "O'Neal should be entering the peak period soon, the tonnage has increased, the strength has also increased, and the skills have almost improved. Tie Jun, you have entered the peak period this season, right?"

"I?"

Lao Wang thought for a while and said, "In terms of physical fitness, this season has indeed entered the peak period, and there is no improvement in the future. In terms of technology, there is not yet."

"You need to practice your low-post steps. This time, playing the postman is powerful, but it consumes too much energy. In the long run, it will also wear and tear on the body, which is not worthwhile." Lao Zhang laughed.

Lao Wang nodded thoughtfully. Lao Zhang is an expert, so what he said must make sense.

Zhang Lili continued: "With a tonnage as big as yours, the pressure on the lower limbs is extremely high. If you always use this style of play, the wear and tear on the knees and other parts will be particularly large.

For example, the articular cartilage is such a thin layer, and it will be gone after polishing. If you play like this, you will not last long at the peak period. Therefore, you must strengthen technical training and try to minimize the wear and tear on your body in order to prolong your peak period. "

"Well, we really should practice more skills." Old Wang nodded again.

Zhang Li sighed: "Like the three super centers, they are so strong in physical fitness, and they are still technical centers. They just know that they can't play purely with their bodies, and their peak period is too short. If they played with your style of play, they would have died a long time ago, but now they are still at their peak.

Let me put it this way, it is conventionally inferred that the peak period of a center like you and O'Neal should not be as long as the three super centers, and should be able to last until the age of 30 at most, and this is still the case without serious injuries.Now Dameng is 32 years old, and his condition is still at its peak, and there are no major injuries. "

"So you must hone your skills, especially footwork is very important, it can help you avoid a lot of confrontation and reduce wear and tear on your body." He urged again.

"what?"

Lao Zhang was right, Lao Wang nodded, and when he was about to speak, a surprise came when the system screen suddenly opened in front of his eyes.

"Is there a new mission?"

He cheered up and opened it quickly.

"Please ask the host to improve the plum blossom pile footwork to a level above (including this level) of a little success, and reward 200 points."

"Plum Blossom Pile Footwork?"

He couldn't help being startled, this old Zhang just said that he wanted to practice footwork, and you came here, you can't be made by old Zhang, right?
Plum Blossom Pile Footwork, I'm afraid he hasn't learned this footwork yet, that is, he practiced it randomly for a period of time, maybe two months, when he was about ten years old.

Scrolling to the section of information, sure enough, the plum blossom pile footwork has not yet been introduced, it is only the realm of beginners and practice, that is, the worst level.

"System, why do you want me to practice it?" He asked in his heart.

"It is beneficial to improve the strength of the host's first profession." The system said.

"basketball?"

He nodded secretly, then find a way to practice.

He doesn't know much about plum blossom pile footwork, he only knows the basics, which are divided into eight square steps and walking steps.

Bafang step is also called group step. There are three types: large, medium and small. Small Bafang step is the basic footwork. It is used to dodge and move around during the movement, waiting for an opportunity to attack. The middle Bafang step and large Bafang step are used to deal with multiple opponents. They are fast but not chaotic, and they can advance and retreat freely.

As for the walking step, it is divided into three types: pendulum method, tie method and withdrawal method.

He estimated that after this footwork is practiced, through system optimization and recombination, it should be possible to increase his low-level footwork, maybe he can practice footwork like Dameng's. At that time, coupled with his strength tonnage and other techniques, his strength should be improved by leaps and bounds, right?

It's just that this kind of footwork is very difficult to practice. The so-called pass the boxing but not the step, pass the step to hit the master, this kind of footwork is difficult for disciples to learn. He was just an ordinary student at the beginning, and the reason he only practiced for a few months was because the master in the martial arts school did not teach him the real thing.

This footwork is the same as many of his boxing techniques, only a superficial practice, not real kung fu, the master just practiced, and then asked him to follow suit, as for how to practice, if there are any tricks, he will not teach him, just figure it out on his own.

But there are so many brothers here, maybe someone has practiced it, so he asked: "Brother Tielong, who of you can play plum blossom piles? I want to learn the plum blossom pile footwork."

"Tie Jun, why are you practicing plum blossom footwork?" Wang Tielong asked.

"Did Brother Zhang stop talking just now? I'm going to practice it and improve it. It might be useful during the competition." He explained.

Zhang Li was stunned, can this work?But thinking about Wang Tiejun's relying on hitting, it really comes from the force movement in martial arts, it seems to be okay!

Wang Tielong thought for a while and said: "Among the brothers who came here, there are a few who have practiced plum blossom piles, but I don't know if they have learned real skills. Now they are not here. I will call you the next day to ask."

"Row."

On the evening of the 16th, the G5 match between Mosaic and the Spurs started.

In the end, Mosaic won, won the crucial battle, and won the match point with a big score of [-] to [-].

On the 17th, the Magic also defeated the Knicks and got the match point.

On the 18th, Mosaic started the G6 game with the Spurs away.

Unfortunately, in the end the Spurs regained the match point, and the two Texas teams entered the tiebreaker.

On the 19th, the Magic also had a G6 battle with the Knicks in an away game. Their luck was better than that of Mosaic. They finally won the game, eliminated the Knicks by a big score of [-]-[-], and reached the Eastern Conference Finals.

Lao Wang secretly laughed: "The unlucky Knicks were killed by the Bulls last year, so they made it to the Eastern Conference Finals. They were killed by the Magic this year, and they couldn't make it to the Eastern Conference Finals.

By the way, last time the media said that if Pat Riley can't get the Knicks out of the Eastern Conference this time, I'm afraid he won't be able to stay in New York anymore. Let's see if he can leave. There will probably be news soon. "

Sure enough, on the second day, the Knicks' media directly attacked Pat Riley and demoted the iron-blooded coach to nothing.

Anyway, from the head coach to the players, including team leader Oakley and team core Ewing, they were all scolded bloody by the media.

Many New York media once again called on the Knicks management to change the head coach.

Whether it is the results of the past few seasons or the accusations of the media, Pat Riley is very disappointed, and he wants to start again in another place.

On the 20th, before noon, he resolutely submitted his resignation letter to the management, and the Knicks management did not hold back, and directly agreed.

In this way, the iron-blooded coach who started the Show time era with the Lakers and spent four seasons in the Knicks building a strong team left New York.

His departure made New York cheer.

At the same time, his departure also made Ewing very happy.

Because in the past four seasons, he has suffered a lot under Pat Riley, and he doesn't like this harsh head coach very much. His favorite head coach is George University head coach John Thompson.

At the same time, Pat Riley has too strict control over the locker room. This is a place he doesn't like very much, because it is the player's territory, and he doesn't like the head coach to interfere in that territory.

Moreover, Pat Riley fucked the players to death, and the training was also very harsh. He couldn't stand the opponent's coaching mode.

That night, he made an appointment with Oakley, and the two went to a nightclub for a few drinks, and watched the final game of the second round of the Western Conference together.
