After Yang Mo figured this out, he immediately thought of a countermeasure for lying, and said with a smile: "Jermaine, have you heard of a joke?"
"What joke?" Little O'Neal frowned. He didn't understand why Yang Mo was telling a joke at this time.
"I heard a manager in the league say that if a rookie who has joined the league for less than three years can average fifteen or six points and seven or eight rebounds per game, he will definitely be given an annual salary of tens of millions. And an old Jiang gets this
The data is not surprising at all. It is very likely that they will not even get a mid-level contract. I asked him why, and he said that as long as the experience of the old players gives them enough shooting rights, they will have no problem scoring more than ten points. And
Young players rely more on talent to score, and this is the biggest difference." Yang Mo said deliberately.
After hearing this, Jermaine O'Neal was thoughtful, and then asked: "Yang, do you have any hidden meaning in saying this?"
"There is no hidden meaning, I just think you can play better." Yang Mo chuckled and said slowly: "I think you can show those managers more of your talents, besides scoring and rebounding.
"
"Something other than rebounding and scoring?" O'Neal muttered a few words.
Yang Mo saw that he seemed to have listened to this sentence, so he sat aside and said no more. Some words are better to be limited in moderation. Saying too much will confuse the concept and even make people think that you have bad intentions.
The passengers took the bus directly to the airport. The next five games were all home games. The opponents were the Timberwolves, Warriors, Bulls, Pacers and Hornets respectively.
These five teams are all weak teams that have missed the playoffs. The regular season no longer means anything to them, and their mood may have already flown elsewhere to have fun in the long offseason.
If honors are put aside, the players of these teams are happy. Their salary is no less than the players of the playoff teams, but they have more rest time than others. It is equivalent to others having Friday off, and they get rest on Tuesday.
The day after returning to Miami, when going to the training facility, Pat Riley called Yang Mo, Wade and Spoelstra into the office and held a roundtable meeting.
The four of them are the absolute core of this team, so they have the final say on everything. The issue they discussed this time was which team to meet in the playoffs.
Now that the Miami Heat have firmly locked up a spot in the playoffs, the Chicago Bulls have been completely put into competition. The question before them now is whether to win all five games and advance to seventh place, or to just play haphazardly.
If they go on, they will enter the playoffs in eighth place. The gap between the two will determine whether they compete with the Cavaliers or slug it out with the Celtics.
When Pat Riley asked the question, Spoelstra immediately answered: "Of course we are striving for seventh place. Seventh place is always better than eighth place. Moreover, we just defeated the Celtics.
I have a mental advantage."
"Sorry, I don't think we have any psychological advantage at all." Yang Mo shook his head and strongly disagreed with Spoelstra's view: "Everyone knows how difficult it was for us to win and how lucky we were. If it weren't for Ray Allen
I had cramps and came off the field. If Tony Allen hadn't been knocked away by me. If Pierce hadn't entered one-on-one mode, they would never have been the losers in the last game."
"Are we really as bad as you say?" Spoelstra couldn't help but retorted weakly. With Pat Riley here, he believed that Yang Mo would never betray him.
When Yang Mo heard this, he nodded heavily and reiterated extremely seriously: "Yes. It's worse than what I said."
"How can you say that about your team?" Seeing that Yang Mo actually dared to say such demoralizing words in front of the general manager, Spoelstra suddenly felt as if he had grabbed Yang Mo's pigtails.
. Turned his head sideways and deliberately flattered Pat Riley: "Mr. Riley, I don't agree with him at all. I think our team lineup is very good."
Spoelstra originally wanted to use Pat Riley's power to kill Yang Mo, but Pat Riley actually answered directly: "Our lineup structure is indeed unreasonable, and we really can't break through the Celtics."
defensive system.”
When Pat Riley said this, he once again firmly sided with Yang Mo.
Pat Riley was so clear-cut that Spoelstra's instigation failed again. He was very nervous and wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl in. Because he was afraid that Yang Mo would humiliate him.
Who knew that Yang Mo didn't take him seriously at all, thinking that he was just an ant, and no matter how much he jumped around, he couldn't stir up any trouble.
"So, Young, you're saying you're leaning toward a matchup with Cleveland?" Pat Riley asked.
"Yes." Yang Mo nodded firmly.
After getting Yang Mo's answer, Spoelstra turned to Wade and asked: "So, Dwyane, what about you?"
"The Cavaliers are actually not easy to deal with." Wade bit his lower lip and said with some difficulty: "But since Yang is more inclined to play Cleveland, I have no problem."
Wade made a difficult choice to agree with Yang Mo. Pat Riley looked at Spoelstra. Spoelstra, who was a little frightened because of the previous incident, quickly said: "I also agree with Yang.
In my opinion, the Cavaliers' defense is not as strong as the Celtics, but Young can definitely restrain LeBron James, and we might be able to create a black 8."
What Spoelstra said was too exaggerated. Not only Yang Mo, but also Pat Riley and Wade were a little disappointed. They felt that he was too clumsy in adapting to the situation.
"Okay, since everyone has agreed to face the Cleveland Cavaliers in the first round of the playoffs, it's decided. In the following games, we will give up appropriately." Pat Riley made the decision immediately.
"Then I'll apply for DNP." Wade raised his hand and said, "My knee has had some reaction recently. If I can practice for a period of time, my performance will be better in the playoffs."
"Agreed, before the playoffs come, your knees can't get worse because of these inconsequential games." Pat Riley agreed to Wade's application immediately. After agreeing, he actually glanced at Yang Mo subconsciously.
He immediately understood Yang Mo's look at Pat Riley. In fact, he also knew why Wade applied for DNP. He just wanted to give himself a complete stage for practice, which could be regarded as preparation for the playoffs. After all, Yang
If Mo's strength increases by one point, it means that the Miami Heat's strength increases by one point.
When we were happily deciding our opponents in the first round of the playoffs, Paul Pierce of the Celtics was speaking harshly again. He swore in front of the media: "When we meet the Heat in the playoffs, we will definitely have a clean 4:
0.I will never let those guys steal victory again with their intrigues."
His oath was circulated for a while at first, but was soon completely covered up by a shocking news.
This news is about the entertainment industry.
Ms. Lu Xueman, the president of Baofeng Agency, and the chairman of MGM held a press conference at the same time to announce Yang Mo as the new 007 James Bond.
As soon as this news came out, the whole world was shocked. No one was not surprised. James Bond's influence is too great. After all, this is a super popular movie that has spanned more than half a century and has already been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. Although the role has been changed in the past
They have all caused controversy, but this one is undoubtedly the biggest.
Almost all 007 fans do not think that super-yang can play this role well, let alone that super-yang is suitable for this role. Because after all, James Bond is an Englishman, and... super-yang is Chinese. Although
He is handsome, cool, and very masculine. But...skin color problem cannot be solved with makeup.
The die-hard fans of super-yang all firmly believed that Yang Mo was the best candidate to play the role. Naturally, they started a fierce argument on the Internet.
For MGM, the spat was a testament to its casting success.
In fact, the reason why they chose Yang Mo was not because they wanted to use super-yang's popularity to create a box office record as rumored by the outside world. They simply discovered the master tape of "Violence and Passion" that Universal had invested in. In it, Yang Mo
Mo's actor-level acting skills completely conquered them, and the boss of MGM personally made the decision to cast Yang Mo as the protagonist. He also reached an in-depth cooperation with Baofeng Agency, preparing to use this movie to turn around and completely escape from the bankruptcy crisis.
.
MGM was willing to extend an olive branch, and Lu Xueman was certainly eager to do so. Although MGM was currently in debt crisis, a skinny camel was bigger than a horse. She immediately formed a strategic alliance with MGM on behalf of Baofeng Agency.
, and invested 50 million US dollars as an investment in the film, of which 20 million was Yang Mo's salary.
Yang Mo's remuneration also includes box office share, which means that Lu Xueman spent 30 million US dollars not only to turn Yang Mo into a new generation of 007, but also enjoyed a double share of the treatment, with the amount of share being higher than the ratio of the largest investor.
It is still high, which is equivalent to achieving the effect of a white wolf with nothing.
With the fame of 007 and the popularity of Yang Mo, there is no problem in the global box office revenue exceeding 500 million U.S. dollars. Add in peripheral income, 700 million U.S. dollars is definitely not a problem. Excluding theaters, the 280 million U.S. dollars will be divided.
Ten million, after deducting nearly 40 to 50 million U.S. dollars from other businesses, as the largest contributor, this amount can earn at least 130 million U.S. dollars.
Of course, MGM is not a fool. The reason why they agreed to such a high account sharing ratio is entirely because Lu Xueman promised them to help them get an injection of idle funds from emerging market China to help them survive this crisis.
This matter is really not a problem for Lu Xueman. She has been to China once, and after learning about the ecology of the domestic entertainment industry, she feels that the money there is really good. Many coal bosses are asking for cash for filming and filming.
It's as high as a flood in the Yellow River.
As long as Lu Xueman deceives, those coal bosses who only recognize the brand will definitely throw a lot of money at MGM, the former Hollywood's number one production company. Under the powerful gold and dollar offensive, it is not difficult to come back to life.
After all, in this era, capital is invincible.
As for the news that he would be taking on the role of 007 James Bond, Yang Mo also learned about it from reports. He was particularly surprised and immediately called Lu Xueman for questioning.
