Guard With a Knife

The NBA's long offseason is undoubtedly a torture for the basketball media. Apart from making all kinds of sensational trading rumors every day, and ranking the major active or historical stars to provoke fans, they seem to have nothing to do.

At this moment, New Jersey's Devon Harris jumped out.

Since Vince Carter was packaged and traded to the Orlando Magic on draft night, he has become a well-deserved leader of the team.

However, he thinks the media has given him an extremely serious insult: "ESPN put me behind Snoopy? God, you can't think he is already an elite player just because he made the finals with shit luck. Look, every team has proven what he can do. He showed so much last playoffs that everyone knows what to do with him. And it's wrong to put me on the same level as him Disrespect. I think my place is in the top 30! I am the leader of New Jersey and I deserve higher authority!"

Devon Harris has spoken out on what everyone has been talking about lately. Since Bill Simmons broke out in his column every team is studying Snoopy's technical style and has figured out how to limit his play. Seems like overnight, Doug hit the rookie wall!

It seemed that everyone had witnessed the disheveled appearance of the duke being hit.

This has even become a fad in the NBA, and those expert commentators speak with certainty.

Even the fans of the Knicks are a little worried, will Snoopy really be thoroughly studied by others? He does not seem to have the killer features that only stars have. He is only good at rebounding and defending at the basket, but his height is flawed. He can break through and pass the ball on the outside, but has no shooting ability. He can respond at the free throw line, but he is always half a beat behind the forward defense... When these messages flood in, and even form a trend, those guys without independent thinking ability are easily disturbed.

Besides the NBA's "rookie wall rumors", the film industry is also frantically dissing "The Duke's War".

Because they took away a small portion of the film that belonged to G.I.O.

The film is an A-level production launched by Paramount Pictures this year, with an investment of 170 million US dollars. It is adapted from the popular American comic of the same name, directed by Stephen Sommers, and starring Dennis Quaid and Channing Tatum. The film was released on August 7, 2009, and Paramount had high hopes that it could create a box office miracle like "Iron Man".

Therefore, they chose August as the release period of the film, and they thought they could be the only one in this period.

But... the recent basketball documentary "Lord Duke's War" is gaining momentum. Especially when Snoopy's act of saving the beauty at the party was exposed,

It has attracted the attention of countless female viewers. Some girls or housewives who have never watched sports or even basketball have expressed a strong desire to watch movies.

This allowed this basketball documentary to get close to 10% of the film schedule on the first day of its release.

When the preview of the film schedule was released, many professional filmmakers thought that the theaters were crazy, especially those from Paramount.

"Is that just a basketball documentary? Do you think that many people will walk in to watch a group of men play? You know, the original version of it was even filmed by reporters as material for news reports! Snoopy's management team really wanted to The money is going crazy, and we must not allow something this crude to come to market."

Stephen Sommers justly criticized "The Duke's War" in front of the camera: "Film is an art!!"

The producer of this film even emphasized with sarcasm: "They will encounter a painful Waterloo, and they will understand. The real audience will not hit another third party just because he has rumors with certain stars. Abusive rappers will walk into movie theaters! I guarantee they’ll be down to one percent in three days and completely gone in a week.”

And the condescending equivalent of Paramount is Jay-Z.

Recently, Britney has made a strong recovery and released the second super golden song "Rolling-in-the-deep", which was written and composed by Doug and swept the world.

In contrast, Beyoncé was completely defeated in terms of popularity, whether it was commercial performances or endorsements, all of them were defeated. However, because of her skin color, her many statements, and her series of packaging, she is becoming a positive American image spokesperson.

But this matter did not have any impact on Britney, after all, she is the only one in the history of the United States who dared to write in the lyrics "I was called Miss American Dream when I was seventeen years old".

The Britney scene made Jay-Z feel ashamed when he heard that Snoopy was about to release his self-titled debut album. When he was interviewed, he clearly pointed out: "He does not have an orthodox music system. You can look at the songs he created, and almost every song has a different style. Maybe you will say that he is talented. However, if you Putting a bunch of completely disjointed songs on one album is a disaster!"

"I'm not very optimistic about the quality of his albums. I think he is the same in music as he is on the field. He has a little bit of all styles, but he is not proficient in any style. And, he has been shrouded in luck. On the field, he can Let three consecutive teams lose their main core due to injuries, and thus enter the finals. The same is true in music, he has an audience that cannot be described in words."

"But everyone's luck is always limited. I think if you want to go to the end, you still have to rely on your strength to speak."

"Snoopy has some strength, but his strength is not worthy of his current reputation. Whether it is the stadium or the music circle."

Jay-Z is a big man in the music industry, he can't swear like an asshole. But his attitude and position have been very clear.

Duge didn't know why he was always the one who was involved in the storm of public opinion.

"I didn't actually do anything, but news will always come to me." Doug spread his palm like Oprah, the most expensive talk show host in the United States, and said frankly: "I'm always so passive. .”

Doug's frankness made Oprah appreciate it very much. They seriously talked about issues in the basketball, music and film circles.

"Honestly, I don't get much credit for myself from the basketball media. Actually, I'm not bad, aren't I? But that's how it is sometimes, and the bias is always there."

"I can't control others to discuss or preach. What I can do is to control my body, let it go into training again and again, so that it can perform more calmly on the court."

"In the end, I think the 'ranking' thing is really a bit of a black humor to me. From my elementary school to high school, I have never taken second place in any official ranking. So, ESPN's ranking should not be professional."

Doug was rarely silent.

Later, he answered questions about Jay-Z. "Actually, I'm here to promote my new movie. But now, it seems like I've got the chance to promote my new album."

"I agree with part of Jay-Z's point of view. But I think he has misunderstood the 'lucky' thing, and he didn't have a deep study of probability. About me being 'lucky' or my strength, waiting for the new album Let's sell it."

Then, I asked about the movie.

Duger was still very calm. Instead of confronting Paramount, he said: "This is indeed a basketball documentary. It records the Knicks' Jedi counterattack, from adversity to victory. If you really want to find some drama The ingredient, probably Karlie Kloss lent me a lucky kiss before the Knicks launched the attack. I think that lucky kiss played a very important role, and it was indeed the key to the reversal of the game."

"It's not something we can decide on the filming. The only thing I can promise you is that this is a basketball movie that won't let you down."

When Doug finished answering these three questions.

Oprah finally hits the big time: "So, can you tell me. Will there be a Duke Girl at the premiere in three days?"

"Anne Hathaway, who is on the same crew as Taylor Swift, has revealed that she and the actor are just friends and have no romantic relationship at all."

"And Miley Cyrus recently came out as saying she's bisexual."

"Jennifer Lawrence said that she is very interested in sports recently, and Selena seems to have arrived in New York ahead of schedule. And Scarlett Johansson..."

Oprah uttered a series of names, which made the audience booed.

But Doug just shrugged. He replied: "It's not my job. It's the issuer's jurisdiction."

Although Doug kept his mouth shut, people are still looking forward to the premiere.

In fact, the HBO pay TV station has spent 6 million US dollars to purchase the live broadcast rights of this premiere, which makes many people expect something exciting to happen on the red carpet. It's like the Billboard Awards in 2008... Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift tearing apart in front of the camera, or like this year's American Music Awards, the Duke beat Kanye West in the background.

For fans of good things, the bigger the better, naturally.

But for Doug, all he wanted was an early end to the job. Then return to Los Angeles to continue training, and until the start of the new season, except for some promotional activities for the new album, he will stay there, and Kobe Bryant has promised to pass on some useful skills to him.

However, the tree wants to be quiet but the wind doesn't stop.

When Doug returned home to New York, he immediately caught a whiff of something unusual.

There was actually a faint smell of steak wafting from his kitchen.
