The rise of basketball legends

After the season, Chen Yan took a flight back to China.

There was nothing special, it was just that Chen Yan missed the taste of his hometown after not returning to his country for a long time.

Chen Yan stayed in China for a week this time and rested most of the time. He only participated in one Xiaosa program.

When Xiao Sa asked Chen Yan whether his goal for next season is to get more points or more assists, Chen Yan responded with a serious face: "I don't like data. I have never been interested in data. I am happiest when It’s the moment when we lift the championship trophy.”

Looking at Xiao Sa's blushing face, the fans knew that a famous scene was happening again.

After the interview, Chen Yan returned to the United States. Next, he will prepare for the filming of the movie "The Maze Runner".

During this holiday, Chen Yan asked his agent to cancel all activities and he wanted to concentrate on filming movies.

This is one of Chen Yan's great strengths. He concentrates on everything he does, which is also the secret of his success.

At the press conference, a reporter asked: "Chen, how do you feel now?"

Chen Yan said with a smile: "Nervous, very nervous, extremely nervous, even more nervous than I was playing in the finals."

The reporters laughed after hearing this.

Chen Yan continued: "I'm not kidding. Although movies are not a new field for me, it is my first time to be the protagonist. I may make a lot of mistakes. I ask the actors and directors to bear with me."

After Chen Yan finished speaking, he looked around and everyone laughed.

"Chen, what kind of results do you think the movie will achieve?" the next reporter asked.

"I get even more nervous when you ask me that."

After Chen Yan finished speaking, the whole room burst into laughter again.

The press conference ended with laughter.

It tells the story of Thomas, a boy who wakes up and finds himself in a huge maze made of boulders. He only remembers his name. Like him, there are some children in this maze who also don't remember how they got here.

The door of the maze will be opened every morning and closed at night. The shape of the maze will continue to change at night. A random supply and a new maze player will arrive every month. But surprisingly, a girl came after Thomas, and she brought surprising news: Only Thomas can lead everyone out of the maze, and the premise is that Thomas must first unlock the secret buried deep in his memory. Dark secret.

The first scene is when Chen Yan wakes up from the elevator. He finds that he has lost his memory and can't remember anything except his name. When the elevator opened, he came to a strange place "the glade".

It took Chen Yan several days to get into the mood. He had never played a leading role and had limited acting experience, so many emotions could not be fully conveyed.

After Taylor found out, she flew to Los Angeles to accompany him. Swift repeatedly emphasized to Chen Yan that he has a strong acting talent, and now it's time to face off. The reason why he can't get into the state is because he thinks too much and thinks too much. The baggage is too heavy.

Swift's words inspired Chen Yan, who immediately got into the mood the next day. The whole crew burst into applause during the first scene. Chen Yan knew he had done it, and his performance moved everyone present.

In the next two months, Chen Yan was immersed in the drama. In early September, all his scenes were performed and production was officially announced.

During the days when Chen Yan was filming, earthquake-like transactions occurred in the league.

Howard and Paul exchanged clubs, and David Stern finally agreed that Kobe and Paul would join forces this time.

The previous disagreement was because they were afraid that the two would be too invincible. Now David Stern needs an invincible combination. The league has seen the absolute dominance of the Knicks, and they want to form other super teams to compete with them.

It's all about box office.

On November 2013, 11, Kobe, who was still recovering, signed a two-year contract worth 26 million with the Lakers.

According to Kobe Bryant, he even signed directly without any negotiation with the management when signing the contract. For no other reason than that he was willing to take a salary cut of US$1600 million for his dream of a sixth championship, in the hope that the team would have enough salary space to introduce the next superstar.

Kobe's sacrifice paid off. The first moment Paul joined, Kobe expressed that he saw hope of competing for the championship again.

On December 2013, 12, the Lakers faced the Toronto Raptors at home. The star Kobe Bryant, who had been away from the game for 9 days, announced his comeback.

In this game, Kobe's performance was average and no one cared about it. He had been away from the game for too long and needed time to recover.

In the second and third games, Kobe still couldn't find his form. Although Paul tried his best to feed him the ball, Kobe's cold touch didn't get better.

In the fourth game against the Bobcats, Kobe made 3 of his first 2 shots. Paul felt his recovery and kept feeding him the ball throughout the game. Kobe scored 29 points and 5 rebounds tonight, which once made the fans feel that he Back to the top.

In the next game against the Hawks, Kobe scored 20+. Just when everyone thought he was getting better, Kobe was injured again in the sixth game against the Grizzlies.

At 3 minutes and 25 seconds into the third quarter, Kobe collided with Grizzlies defensive expert Tony Allen. Kobe fought through the injury until the final buzzer sounded and scored 24 points to lead the team to victory.

He originally thought it was just a knee strain, but he never imagined that this injury would lead to his season being ended - fracture!

For Kobe, such a season is too sad and frustrating.

The same goes for the league, whose plans for a superteam failed.

Chen Yan also looked very frustrated. For him, he needs a well-matched opponent, otherwise the game will be too boring.

Entering 2014, the Knicks still firmly lead the league.

Three consecutive championships is the slogan of New York fans.

Dolan made a bold statement that if the Knicks win three consecutive championships, he will build the largest statue of Chen Yan in NBA history, right at the entrance of Madison Garden!

The Knicks won a complete victory in February. For Chen Yan, there was more than one piece of good news this month.

His documentary was released and gained a good reputation. Among them, Chen Yan's own dubbing was called the finishing touch by the audience.

In addition, the movie "Maze Runner" was also released in North America. It grossed 3250 million US dollars in its first weekend and topped the box office list.

The film ranked fifth in North American September history, demonstrating that teen movies are in full swing in North America and deeply loved by young audiences. It ultimately earned a box office of US$9 million.

This season, under the leadership of Chen Yan, the Knicks also won 70 games unstoppably, and finally made it all the way through the playoffs to win the championship again!

After three consecutive championships, Dolan also fulfilled his promise and erected the largest statue in NBA history for Chen Yan. The image of this statue is Chen Yan's classic celebration action of three-point headshot. The statue opened its mouth on the day of the celebration parade and is expected to be completed two years later. Completed.

During the offseason, there were undercurrents among many stars, among which James and Durant were the most active. The two had previously agreed to join forces to deal with Chen Yan.

In July, Chen Yan had a meal with Durant when he passed by Boston. Durant did not reveal that he was going to join forces with James. For him, it was a military secret. Chen Yan jokingly said that Durant's contract this year was If it expires, they can come to New York, and the two of them can go back to their college days and play brother basketball.

This joke made Durant sleepless all night. He felt that since Chen Yan had come to recruit him, why would he form a team with James? Wouldn't it be closer to the championship to go directly to the Knicks?

After thinking about it for a week, Durant decided to ask his agent to contact the Knicks.

The Knicks are naturally 100% willing. After Battier retired, the Knicks happened to lack a starting small forward. Money has never been a problem for the Knicks.

The two parties argued over the contract details for more than a month. In early September, big news came out of the league that Durant joined the New York Knicks!

Celtics fans are dumbfounded.

Knicks fans are dumbfounded.

Even Chen Yan himself was dumbfounded!

No, I just said it casually, Adu, are you serious?
