Chapter 72 Decision

On July 10, fans sat in front of the TV again and watched TNT's basketball program on time.

At 18 o'clock, the show started, and fans saw Barkley and Smith.

"Next, we welcome our superstars, Zhang... Zhiyuan, Xie Te, it's really a convoluted word, I have been practicing for three days and I still can't say it well."

Barkley imitated the DJ, but in the middle of shouting, he started to complain about Zhang Zhiyuan's name.

Zhang Zhiyuan came out and said, "I seem to hear someone saying bad things about me?"

Smith quietly pointed at Barkley from the side, and the audience laughed.

After exchanging some pleasantries, Barkley asked: "Zhang, can you tell us more about the reason why you left the Rockets? Be more specific. Don't use the lame excuse of fresh life. I'm not as easy to fool as the fans."

At the beginning of the show, they were not in a hurry to ask about Zhang Zhiyuan’s future career, and continued to whet the audience’s appetite.

"Well, you damn fat guy, I treated you as a friend to support your show, but you came to dig up my privacy for the sake of ratings. It's so unkind."

Zhang Zhiyuan complained.

"First of all, you are not my friend, you are my enemy. You caused me to be slapped in the face often and I lost a lot of bets. Secondly, you did not come to TNT for me. You took money, and it was a lot. Finally, here comes this

The show must break the news, hurry up, don’t let the fans down.”

Buckley transformed into a ruthless strong man and immediately broke off the relationship with Zhang Zhiyuan.

The fans laughed.

"Well, there is one reason why I left the Rockets to seek a fresh life. Another reason is that I personally don't like being exposed, and I don't want to cooperate with him anymore."

Zhang Zhiyuan said.

oh.......

fans exclaimed.

They guessed countless reasons why Zhang Zhiyuan left the Rockets, but they didn't guess this.

After all, players and team managers don't usually have much contact, and it's quite rare for them to become enemies. But it's even more rare for them to leave because of something like this.

What everyone didn't expect was that Zhang Zhiyuan actually revealed his personality.

"Why, did you have any conflicts with him?"

Smith said in surprise.

"Actually, it's nothing, just a bit of ideological disagreement. That's all I can say, next question."

Zhang Zhiyuan said.

He did not publish the recording, so his intention to frame Mo Lei would have been too obvious.

He has already thought of a way.

He was planning to sublet the house to fans when he left Houston, and then 'accidentally' left his recorder at his residence.

In this way, the recording incident can be circulated reasonably.

"Okay, is the reason why you rejected the Suns the same as what was said on the Internet? You think the Suns' lineup is too good and not challenging?"

Smith asked.

"Yes, the Suns' lineup no longer needs reinforcements. If I partnered with Nash Amare, I would probably win 82 games. That would be too boring, and the fans would be tired of our winning streak."

Zhang Zhiyuan said.

"Hey, I suspect you are just 'pretending'. 'Pretending' means put on airs."

Buckley showed off the Chinese words he learned to the audience.

Zhang Zhiyuan laughed: "Maybe, but Charles, don't get excited, you'd better get used to all this, because I will continue to pretend to be in the league in the future, and you can only watch."

The audience laughed.

"In addition to the Suns, you should have received invitations from many teams."

Smith said.

"It's not too many, Smail told me that 28 teams contacted him."

Zhang Zhiyuan said.

When Barkley heard this, he almost couldn't help but give him the middle finger. Isn't this too much?

There are only 30 teams in the league, excluding the Rockets, which means there is only one team in the league that has not extended an olive branch to him.

Buckley was envious of this pretense.

"It's better to tell the audience your next job first. I think the fans don't want to see you show off anymore."

Buckley said.

The audience's ears pricked up.

"I decided to return to the Los Angeles Lakers and return to the place where my dream began."

Zhang Zhiyuan said.

When the truth was announced, the audience was shocked.

This answer is quite surprising, because fans once thought that he and Kobe had a bad relationship, and if he really liked the Lakers, why did he leave in the first place?

For many reasons, fans did not take the Lakers into consideration when analyzing their next home.

What I never expected was that Zhang Zhiyuan chose this.

"Why? Why did you choose to return to the Lakers."

Smith asked.

"Well... because Kobe held my thigh and threatened me, saying that if I didn't return to the Lakers, he would hold it and never let go. So, I had no choice."

Zhang Zhiyuan said.

Vanessa, who was sitting in front of the TV, was immediately amused.

"Damn it, I should have gone on the show to explain."

Kobe complained.

Vanessa was not the only one who was amused. The audience was also shocked by this reason.

"Please, Zhang, please be serious, our TNT is a serious program, I don't believe Kobe would do such a thing. I remember you wrote a song mocking Kobe, your relationship is not good, Kobe will still be willing to be with you

partner?"

Smith asked.

"What's the point? I often ridiculed Charles for not having a championship. Now he has become a good friend of mine and is doing shows with me. He doesn't keep this in mind."

Zhang Zhiyuan said.

Barkley heard this and complained: "First of all, I am not your good friend. Secondly, I was forced by the company to do a show with you. Finally, I still remember your ridicule."

The audience laughed.

Zhang Zhiyuan shrugged: "Well, it seems that Kobe's mind is much broader than yours."

Smith and now the audience couldn't help laughing.

After laughing, Smith continued to ask: "Apart from this, are there any other reasons?"

"Another reason is Kevin Garnett."

The audience immediately became interested again.

"The Celtics and Lakers seem to be rivals, and Garnett and I don't have a good relationship. He wants to go to the Celtics to win the championship, and I definitely can't let him do that.

It would be really fun to lead the Lakers and beat them."

Zhang Zhiyuan said it bluntly, he was too lazy to maintain "friendship" with every player. Anyway, the outside world knew that he and Garnett had a fight, so he simply admitted that they were enemies.

More importantly, he wants to continue to irritate Garnett and increase the hatred of Garnett and others towards him.

The stronger their hatred, the more beneficial it will be to Zhang Zhiyuan.

Zhang Zhiyuan's speech was shocking, bold and very personal.

Fans were in for a surprise.

"Do you think you and Kobe can defeat the Celtics' Big Three together? I don't think so."

Buckley said.

"I was a little worried at first, but after hearing what you said, Charles, I became confident again. I hope you will continue to give the Celtics some poisonous milk. Lakers fans and I will be very grateful to you."

Zhang Zhiyuan said.

The audience laughed.

"Okay, 'The time for bullying Charles is over' tell me what you really think."

Smith said.

The program must not only have comedic effects, but also have real revelations.

"What I really think? The defense of the Celtics' Big Three is like the strongest shield, which can withstand all attacks. Kobe and I are the strongest spears, which can crush any defense."

Zhang Zhiyuan said.

"Wait a minute, what will happen if your spear hits the Celtic shield?"

Buckley asked.

"The fans can just wait and see. The unknown is the most interesting, isn't it?"

Zhang Zhiyuan.

The audience applauded after hearing this and looked forward to next season even more.

After chatting about football, the topic turned to Zhang Zhiyuan’s offseason plans.

"I heard that you recently shot a short film?"

Smith said.

"Yes, I brought it today. Are you interested in watching my performance together?"

Zhang Zhiyuan said.

There are at least millions of viewers watching the show. Playing your own short film on this show is an unparalleled publicity effect.

"certainly."

Smith said.

Some viewers who were about to turn off the TV couldn't help but put down the remote control. They were also curious about what kind of films Zhang Zhiyuan could make.

The short video begins.

The first is a narration accompanied by various images.

First, kill with a pistol. [Some people kill in just a few seconds.]

Then choke. [Other people take a few minutes.]

Beating. [Some take hours.]

A man in black holds a spoon in his hand. [But now, this killer has been using it for twelve years.]

Zhang Zhiyuan hired a professional dubbing from Hollywood. The deep voice and the tense soundtrack immediately heightened the terrifying atmosphere and aroused the audience's curiosity.

The story begins with an ordinary office worker being hit with a spoon by a man in black played by Zhang Zhiyuan on the street.

Then, the fat man's nightmare begins.

No matter where the fat man appeared, the man in black would follow him and beat him with a rhythmic frequency.

Rooms, parking lots, libraries, streets, restrooms...

The damage caused by each blow is not large, but if it continues, it feels quite terrifying.

Slowly, just seeing the spoon fat man started to tremble with fear.

The fat man tried to ask for help, but except for himself, no one else could see the man in black, and they all suspected him of lying and self-abuse.

In desperation, the fat man tried to prove the existence of the man in black, but the result was naturally in vain.

Smart viewers have realized that this killer may be just a metaphor and not real.

After being tortured by the spoon in great pain, the fat man picked up the knife and resisted. The knife pierced the body of the man in black, but the man in black was completely fine. He easily grabbed the knife, then threw the knife aside and continued to hit him with the spoon.

.

Many viewers couldn't help but laugh when they saw this scene, thinking that this killer had such a personality.

However, some viewers were shuddering.

They felt that it would be quite terrifying if there was really such a principled and persistent killer chasing them.

Then the fat man started to run away, but no matter where he ran, the killer was chasing him.

Egypt, the White House, Mount Everest, the bottom of the sea, the desert...

Scenes were switched rapidly from scene to scene, the tapping of the spoon never stopped, and the narration kept repeating one word.

[No matter where you escape, he will wave the spoon and keep hitting you, again, again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again...]

Repeated dozens of times, the demonic voice made people feel funny, shuddered, and even gave birth to a sense of despair and fear.

Coupled with the background music, the effect is very good.

The audience who saw this were convinced. They thought Zhang Zhiyuan was just shooting a short video for fun, but they didn't expect it to be so exciting and professional.

Whether it's the actors' performances, the dubbing, or the soundtrack, it's just right and perfect.

Then, the fat man couldn't bear it anymore and showed a Terminator look in his eyes, and he finally wanted to resist.

The music suddenly changed to the passionate soundtrack of a gun battle. The fat man was like a special soldier, with weapons hanging all over his body, shooting, shelling, and bombing at the killer...

It was full of momentum, but unfortunately, it was all in vain, and the killer was unscathed.

In the end, the fat man became desperate and was tortured so badly that he crawled on the ground and ran away.

After losing the last bit of strength, the fat man turned over and looked at the killer miserably.

The killer continued to swing the spoon, and finally there was a click and the spoon broke.

The fat man's eyes showed a trace of sadness and joy of surviving the disaster. At this moment, the audience was happy for him. It was really not easy.

However, the killer then unzipped his clothes, revealing dozens of brand-new spoons inside.

The fat man's eyes immediately turned into despair, sadness and anger.

puff......

Countless viewers laughed unkindly when they saw this scene. This fat man was really miserable, a hundred times more miserable than being killed directly.

The killer continued to try to swing down the spoon, and the fat man couldn't help but ask: "Why, why do you keep killing me with a spoon?"

Zhang Zhiyuan stopped and said: "Kill you? No, I just want to tell you that the quality of xx brand spoons is very good. Are you interested in buying one?"

Under the black leather jacket, with a ferocious face, coupled with these extremely inconsistent words, many viewers fell to the ground.

"Walterfak, your partner is just a spoon seller?"

"This kind of sales pitch is totally outrageous."

"This turn of events really caught me off guard."

"The most miserable male protagonist in history."

.......

"Oh Shet, how did you come up with this idea?"

After reading it, Smith exclaimed.

"Um... Mainly because my family sells spoons, and my father asked me to take care of our business, so I shot an advertisement to promote it."

Zhang Zhiyuan said.

"Hahaha... I can't believe it. Is that why? So this is just an advertisement?"

Smith was burned inside and out.

"Yes, I hope everyone will not just pay attention to the content of the short film, but also remember to buy one of my spoons. I swear, the quality is really good."

Zhang Zhiyuan smiled.

"If you don't buy it, will you be like the male protagonist and be hunted by you with a spoon for 12 years?"

Buckley said, and everyone laughed again.

The audience was convinced. It is really not easy to make an advertisement so interesting.

Later, the topic turned to Zhang Zhiyuan's endorsement.

Zhang Zhiyuan had not signed a sneaker contract or other endorsements before.

After playing in the Western Conference Finals and the Finals, Zhang Zhiyuan's worth has skyrocketed, and the outside world is also very concerned about his endorsement situation.

"Smile is following up on these matters and there should be results soon."

Zhang Zhiyuan said.

"You didn't participate personally?"

Smith asked.

"Actually, I will be very busy next. After completing the signing ceremony, I need to return to China. I may also have to do some activities, participate in TV variety shows, and guest star in movies."

Zhang Zhiyuan said.

"Wait, you mean you won't practice during the offseason?"

Buckley said.

"There is no opponent who can force me to practice during the offseason."

Zhang Zhiyuan took the opportunity to pretend again.

"Shet, why do I always sound unhappy with your words? I really hope someone can teach you a lesson next season."

Barkley complained, and the audience laughed again.

The program ended and overall it was quite successful. The ratings have been rising, which shows that the program content is very attractive.
