After beating the Koreans hard, the Chinese team, led by Li Kaiming, has successfully entered the finals of this Asian Championship. What is surprising is that the opponent in the finals is Yuedan again!
This Yuedan is really like an invincible Xiaoqiang. He was beaten up in the group stage and still managed to reach the finals.
The head coach of the men's basketball team, Deng Dehua, said that he had to cheer up and cope with this situation. So on the evening of September 25, the much-anticipated Asian Championship finals started the second battle between the Chinese team and the Yodan team. closed the curtain.
It has to be said that there are still two things that allow Yuedan to reach the final. With Li Kaiming in the Chinese team, Yuedan was able to keep the point difference to just over 10 points without being widened.
Of course, this was also because Li Kaiming did not go all out. At the last moment of the second half, Li Kaiming continuously singled out the center of the Yodan team on the outside, suddenly widening the point difference to 20 points, and the game lost suspense!
In the end, Li Kaiming played for 31 minutes, sweating a little in the last few rounds of singles to seal the victory. He scored 27 points, 14 rebounds, 8 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks, and successfully dominated Asia after the game. The cover of the official website of the Basketball Association has undoubtedly become the MVP of this Asian Championship.
Under the leadership of Li Kaiming, the Chinese team had 9 wins and 0 losses in the entire Asian Championships, with an average margin of victory of nearly 40 points per game. It showed overwhelming dominance and successfully locked in a ticket to the 2012 London Olympics. Many foreign media who thought that the Chinese team without Yao Ming would capsize before the start of the game immediately shut up.
So what if there is no Yao Ming? It’s okay if we didn’t pay attention to letting you win some championships before. This time we have sent out the strongest lineup, just to let you Xiaoxiao know that after the country shows its full strength, your so-called national team will Just some third-rate stuff!
Of course, it is not just the foreign media who have shut their mouths. Many domestic fans and commentators who doubted Li Kaiming also had to act like a turtle. The former bald horse said nonsense on his personal blog: "Who is recognized?" Jian, also began to fall silent amidst the cordial greetings from the fans, and finally had to post a blog "Congratulations to the Chinese team for winning the championship" to attract firepower...
In the eyes of the fans, the Asian Championship is a great morale booster, but its impact in the professional basketball circle is actually not great, especially in the eyes of some leaders of the Basketball Association and Sports Bureau. Even without Li Kaiming, this Asian Championship , the Chinese team must also win the championship, because the winner of the Asian Championships can get a direct ticket to the 2012 Olympics.
Since the host of the 2008 Olympic Games was China, China automatically got a ticket, so the 2007 Asian Championships were not played seriously at all.
So even if Li Kaiming showed a dominant performance in this Asian Championship, it did not surprise some retired leaders.
In the familiar living room of Huadu City, Han Yinzhi glanced at the caller ID on his mobile phone, snorted and picked up the phone.
"What brought Director Liang Da's call today? Are you calling me to express your condolences to this bad old man like me?"
On the other end of the phone, Liang Zhen was not dissatisfied with Han Yinzhi's tone. Instead, he smiled and said, "Mr. Han, you are my senior. Isn't it right for younger generations to care about their elders? You are the Taishan Beidou of China's sports world." , your health is the top priority!”
"Hmph! Mr. Liang, I think you are just a weasel giving New Year greetings to the rooster. You have no good intentions!"
"Huh? What you said, Mr. Liang, I'm here to sincerely express my condolences to you and give you a work report by the way!"
As expected of a leader, he didn't speak clearly, but explained his purpose in a roundabout way.
As a former director, how could Han Yin not realize that the so-called "reporting work" was the main purpose of Liang Zhen's call.
He sneered, "It's just an Asian Championship, and Director Liang can't wait to show off the results? What do the Asian Championship champions and Asian Championship mVp mean? Aren't we able to get these two things at our fingertips? Our original bet was for the Olympic Games Director Liang won’t forget the medal, right?”
Liang Zhen smiled slightly, "Mr. Han is right, but after all, a phased result has been achieved, so it is appropriate to report it to you. Seeing that you are in good health, I will not disturb your rest..."
After the Asian Championships, Li Kaiming is also ready to return to America. There are no arrangements for the national team for the time being. Elliott Williams has begun to urge him to go back to train together, and Hua Guo There are indeed fewer trainer resources here than in America. The basic equipment has kept up, but the talent allocation is still far behind.
This is also the part that Chinese basketball needs to vigorously develop in the future.
In addition to returning to America for training, Hongxin Erke also prepared an advertising shooting plan for Kaiming's new second-generation boots for Li Kaiming. According to Jiang Shan, this advertisement is completely different from conventional advertising. , seems to be shooting an advertisement similar to a movie, the script is ready, and the starring role of Li Kaiming is ready.
After hearing this, Li Kaiming was a little curious. He had filmed commercials before, but he had never filmed a commercial similar to a movie. The time had come to test his acting skills.
So after finishing his more than two-month trip to China, Li Kaiming took a plane to fly to the other side of the ocean again, and Jiang Shan and others also came back with him.
This time, Li Kaiming and others did not fly directly to Washington. Instead, they changed their destination to New York, the largest city in the world. This was Jiang Shan's arrangement, because the advertising shooting this time will be held in New York. NbA is still on lockdown, so hurry up and complete this big project.
After arriving in New York, Li Kaiming met the advertising shooting team. According to Jiang Shan, this team is definitely America's top shooting team, and Hong Xin Erke has also read the script this time and there is no problem. .
And when Li Kaiming saw the script prepared by this top team, he was a little dumbfounded!
This idea is so bold!
They actually wanted to make Li Kaiming into a middle-aged man and set him up as a street basketball player. The script was to have Li Kaiming step on Kaiming's second generation and lead a street basketball team to participate in the streetball mecca of Locke. An entertainment basketball classic game held in the park, and finally defeated the opponent.
The degree of freedom in this advertisement is too high. Except for Li Kaiming and the filming team, no one else on the court knows Li Kaiming’s true identity. In other words, these people are completely uncontrollable factors!
This shooting method is a bit ahead of its time for both commercials and movies, and it’s not that difficult either!
In ordinary shooting, if you are not satisfied with a certain shot, the director can click it and start it over again until the director is satisfied. This commercial can only test the editing skills in the later period, because the only real actor in this scene is Li Kaiming, and no one will Cooperate with you and try again after clicking...
Although it is extremely difficult and sounds very ridiculous, Li Kaiming is actually a little excited. If this commercial is actually filmed, the response will definitely be great!
Just do it! After spending a few days in New York to adjust to the time difference, the filming team began intensive preparations.
In order to eliminate the suspicion of the players on the field and the spectators on the sidelines, the filming equipment was simplified as much as possible, so the biggest task was to put makeup on Li Kaiming.
This job was left to a professional makeup artist. After dressing up carefully, Li Kaiming looked at the unshaven Central Asian man in the mirror, and his eyes nearly popped out!
Damn it, this is not makeup, this is just a hair change!
It turns out that Li Kaiming's face shape and facial features are very typical of East Asian style, but after the makeup artist filled in and pasted various appearances on his face, his face has completely transformed into a Central Asian style.
He originally had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and the makeup artist deliberately raised his brow bone a little higher. Coupled with the makeup around his eyes, his eye sockets became very deep.
The contact lenses changed the color of his eyes to light blue, the bridge of his nose was slightly raised, and he added a beard. There was one less handsome East Asian guy in the world, and a man with Central Asian temperament was born!
Looking at his current appearance in the mirror from all angles, Li Kaiming nodded in surprise and satisfaction.
Even he couldn't see this makeup, it was so awesome!
When Li Kaiming walked out of the dressing room, even Jiang Shan who was waiting outside was dumbfounded. She didn't recognize her at first. She didn't realize it until Li Kaiming stared at her for a long time, and then caught Li Kaiming and looked at her carefully. I went through the makeup again and was constantly impressed by the skill of the makeup artist.
Everything was ready. Li Kaiming put on a simple sportswear, which of course belonged to Hongxinerke, and on his feet were Kaiming's second-generation combat boots that had not yet been released. A group of people rushed to Rucker Park in a mighty manner. !
Because Li Kaiming and the others arrived relatively early, there were not many people in Locke Park at this time, and there were already two teams playing the whole game there.
America's wild court is different from that of China. They prefer to gather 10 people to play the whole game instead of 3V3 or 4V4 in the half.
And it’s very easy to pick up the wave. As long as you gather 5 people, you can say hello to the old buddies who are playing on the field and say that you want to pick up the wave. Then when the winner is decided on the field, you can bring this with you. The team is on the field!
Jiang Shan and the filming team set up camera equipment nearby. To avoid suspicion, Li Kaiming was not with the camera team after arriving at the scene.
Because Jiang Shan had been reported in the media, she quickly disappeared from the scene and became the conductor behind the scenes.
After all, Rucker Park is a famous street ball mecca in the United States. In addition to well-known street ball players, many NBA stars have also played here, so the standard of this field ball is very high.
The famous streetball king Rafe Alston made his name in Rucker Park, and was finally selected by the Bucks in the second round in 1998. It can be seen that in America, top streetball players can already have low-level professional players. Level.
Therefore, there were many people filming with cameras next to the stadium in Locke Park. Therefore, Li Kaiming's filming team did not attract strong attention from the people around. Only a few people around took a curious look and then walked away. .
This is also the reason why the filming team chose to shoot in Rucker Park. If you go to other street ball venues, there will usually be no one filming at all. If you suddenly stand nearby and take a video with a camera, it will 100% attract people's attention.
The most important thing about this shoot is authenticity!
