After the Star Game, Yang Jian took time to attend the premiere of "Chicago" in Los Angeles.

Universal Pictures originally wanted the film to be released during the Thanksgiving holiday in November last year or the Christmas holiday in December. Yang Jian thought it was inappropriate and suggested releasing it in February.

Of course, Universal needs a reason to change the best schedule to a regular schedule. Yang Jian’s reason is simple. “Chicago” must avoid Warner’s “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” in November and New Line’s “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone” in December.

The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the Ring.

He predicted that these two movies would be a big hit at the box office. As expected, the two movies dominated the holiday season and eventually ranked among the top two in the North American box office rankings in 2001.

The box office of "Fast and Furious 2" cannot match those of these two movies. If "Chicago" is released at the same time, how can a musical achieve high box office?

"Chicago" could still score some points at the box office when it was released in November, but it will be dead in December because there are so many blockbusters, including "Ocean's Eleven", "Black Hawk Down" and so on.

Miramax's "I Fall in Love with You Through Time" was released on the Christmas season, and it was particularly disappointing. Universal Company released the comedy "Go to Harvard" on the 21st, and it was also disappointing.

The schedule selected by Yang Jian was unavailable at the same time. The biggest competitors were Disney's "Liar" and Paramount's "Time Cracker". Who knows what these two films are about?

After "Chicago" was released, it attracted the attention of a large number of musical fans, and the box office debut was gratifying. Both beauties, Naomi Watts and Catherine Zeta-Jones, received positive reviews.

Yang Jian and Naomi walked on the red carpet together, which greatly increased the exposure of the movie. When people heard that the movie was an adapted script written by Yang Jian, they felt incredible. Among NBA stars, he is probably the only one who likes musicals.

.

Who likes musicals because of Yang Jian? It’s clear at a glance.

Naomi's popularity has increased a lot. Although she has publicly stated that she is a non-marriage advocate, her relationship with Yang Jian has always been talked about by fans.

After starring in "Mulholland Drive", Naomi has gained a large number of fans. People think that her beauty and acting skills are equally important. This time in "Chicago", she surpassed Zeta Jones, and her appearance reached the peak of her life.

Zeta-Jones looked a little ugly after watching the movie. She had never thought that Naomi would make her look so strong.

Compared with the small-framed Naomi, Zeta-Jones is simply bulky and her figure is too bad. Zeta-Jones insists on having a hairstyle with full bangs. Cutting off her long hair makes her face look rounder, which is not as good as Naomi's.

Mi’s little slap face.

Netizens left messages to discuss, and some viewers felt that Naomi's performance was not good enough. The reason was that "the heroine of the movie is too young and does not fit the age setting of the characters in the play."

Netizens discovered that Naomi was born in 1968, one year older than Zeta Jones, and she was almost 33 years old when she starred in this movie. Many people who were not familiar with her said they couldn’t believe it. Isn’t this too young?

She received a lot of praise, but Naomi herself was not very happy. People mostly discussed her beauty, and her acting skills became secondary. Many people stared at her face while watching the movie, and the director gave her a lot of close-ups.

Yang Jian also discovered this problem. After taking the elixir of life, Naomi became more difficult to prove her acting skills.

The Velma she played is much more beautiful than the version played by Renee Zellweger. Few people say that Renee is beautiful. This is precisely her advantage. Her acting skills are evident when her face falls apart. Oscar likes ugly actors, even beautiful people.

You have to act ugly, otherwise you won't win the prize.

In other words, Naomi will definitely have no chance of winning an Oscar in her current state. Even if the film's reputation is amazing, she can only get one nomination and then run away.

After attending the premiere, Yang Jian went to Sacramento alone from Los Angeles to play against the Kings away from home.

This was the fourth contest between the two sides this season, and Kings star power forward Chris Webber exploded.

Weber played a full 48 minutes, making 17 of 28 shots, 0 of 1 three-pointers, 5 of 7 free throws, 39 points, 11 rebounds and 2 assists, with a shooting percentage of 60.7%.

Five players from the Kings team scored in double figures, but they still lost, with a final score of 116 to 126.

Yang Jian played 43 minutes, making 11 of 17 shots, 4 of 8 three-pointers, 7 of 8 free throws, scoring 33 points, 5 rebounds, 13 assists, 3 steals and 2 blocks.

Payton made 7 of 12 shots, 2 of 3 three-pointers, and 4 of 4 free throws. He scored 20 points, 2 rebounds, 10 assists, and 2 steals.

Rashard Lewis made 8 of 15 shots, 2 of 5 three-pointers, 5 of 6 free throws, and scored 23 points and 9 rebounds.

The Sonics always have a few people who can stand up and score efficiently every game, which makes them almost invincible. If a player has a bad touch, he or she should take fewer shots and pass the ball to a teammate who has a good touch instead of having to shoot the ball himself.

Brad Miller, Mobley, and Stephen Jackson also often performed well, and the team blossomed more.

Divac, the main center of the Kings, was targeted by Yang Jian and could not play much. When he played, he had a defensive hole. With Divac not playing, the Kings lost an inside man who is good at organizing passes and running pick-and-roll offenses, and the formation was not as open.

In recent years, Divac has never been selected for the All-Star Game due to Yang Jian's influence, and his evaluation has plummeted. He is a tragic figure. It is impossible for him to prove himself because his mobility is worse than Yao Ming.

Kings coach Adelman's adjustment method is to let Webber play center, with Turkoglu and Stojakovic swinging at the 3 and 4 positions. This way the offense is very strong, but it is still impossible to defend.

The Kings' home whistle was obvious. They took 43 free throws in the game, while the SuperSonics only took 23. The referees did their best.

The SuperSonics' lineup has been incredibly deep in the past two seasons, and it doesn't matter if Anthony Mason Jr. leaves the team. The best thing about the SuperSonics is that the players share playing time, maintain rotation, and have no injured players on the team.

The often-injured gorilla Ewing has ensured his attendance rate since joining the SuperSonics. He plays for a short time, has low intensity of confrontation, and can withstand his knees.

On the other hand, the Kings coached by Adelman mainly relied on 8-man rotation, and substitute center Scott Pollard only played 7 minutes. At the critical moment in the final quarter, the physical fitness of the Kings players was obviously at a disadvantage, which was a key factor in their failure.

.

The physical fitness of the players in the regular season can often determine the outcome of the game, and this is even more true in the playoffs. It is difficult for a team that only relies on the individual abilities of its stars to have the last laugh, unless it is a dominant superstar. The Kings' Webb, St.

Tojakovic is not a top star.

The opponents after the SuperSonics are not strong. Except for the Trail Blazers, they are all in the playoffs and ended the February schedule with a winning streak.

The SuperSonics won all this month, and Yang Jian once again won the Western Conference Player of the Month.

In a parallel world, the selection of Player of the Month for the 2001-02 season began to be divided into Eastern and Western regions. Yang Jian did not change history, so he would not receive points. However, many stars in the Western Conference had their personal honors reduced as a result, and they could not compete with him at all.

On March 1, the SuperSonics defeated the Knicks in an away game, winning by 41 points.

The Knicks have entered a rebuilding period after sending Ewing away. They are currently 20 wins and 36 losses and will definitely miss the playoffs. Knicks power forward Clarence Weatherspoon is nicknamed "The Big Spoon". He is obviously a colander.

Defense.

He is 198cm tall but weighs 122kg. He likes to hang around the penalty area and rebound the ball. He can withstand people but is too short to block shots.

The Knicks management hired Witherspoon after seeing his good numbers. As a result, the team's record was far worse than last season. After Marcus Camby, a center who is good at defense, was seriously injured, the Knicks' defensive system collapsed.

.

In the last quarter, many Knicks fans left the game early and couldn't bear it anymore. Alan Houston signed a six-year, RMB 100 million contract with a higher salary than Yang Jian, and he was not even selected for the All-Stars this season.

Under Yang Jian's defense, Houston made 5 of 17 shots, 1 of 7 three-pointers, and 1 of 2 free throws, and only scored 12 points and 2 assists. Yang Jian played 31 minutes, making 14 of 20 shots, 6 of 10 three-pointers, and free throws.

6-for-6, 40 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists and 2 steals.

Seattle media commented: "No matter which outside star is compared with Yang Jian, they all look like junk contracts."
