Mike Brown's goal of four consecutive away games was to win three out of four games, but in the first game, they lost to the Phoenix Suns.
Then in the second game, the Cavaliers went to Dallas for back-to-back games against the Mavericks.
This year's Cavaliers don't have to go through the most devilish schedule in the NBA. They have to go through the top three in Texas. They have already finished the Rockets and Spurs at the start of the game.
Now, they are about to play their last game against the Mavericks. After playing against the Mavericks, Texas' road trip will be over. At least this season, they won't have to come again.
There is no need to elaborate on how strong the defending champion is. Dirk Nowitzki alone will be difficult for the Cavaliers to solve.
In this game, the Cavaliers still had a tough time.
Lin Yu played without any problems. He continued his good form in the previous game and used his excellent touch to break through Jason Terry's defense.
But LeBron James was surrounded by Jerry Stackhouse and Josh Howard, and his performance couldn't be worse.
In the end, Lin Yu scored a team-high 27 points, 4 rebounds, 4 assists and 2 steals for the Cavaliers. Counting the 29 points, 3 rebounds, 8 assists, 1 steal and 1 block in the last game lost to the Suns, Lin Yu had two games.
Lin Yu is the only player on the Cavaliers who is performing as usual.
James, who performed well against the Suns, failed in this game. He made 6 of 18 shots and only scored 16 points, 5 rebounds, 7 assists, 2 steals and 1 block.
The Cavaliers lost to the Mavericks 90:98.
In the first two games of the Western Conference road trip, the Cavaliers suffered a two-game losing streak. What was originally the best record in the league suddenly became 15 wins and 4 losses. Although it was still the best in the league, this best record no longer lived up to its reputation.
.
"Losing to the Spurs, Losing to the Suns, and losing to the Mavericks, the Cavaliers lost all the favorites to win the championship. After losing these three games, we can already conclude that this Cavaliers do not have the strength to compete for the championship. They still have
They need to continue to improve and at least win a game against the real favorites to prove that they have the strength to compete for the championship..."
On the special plane from Dallas to Los Angeles, Mike Brown held a copy of USA Today. Sam Amick changed his original view. Now, he believes that the Cavaliers still need to prove their possession by winning against the favorites.
The strength to compete for the championship.
"Obviously, we are underestimated, but these underestimates are also caused by our losing streak. Therefore, we cannot criticize those who underestimate us. What we have to do is to use victory to once again prove that we have the championship.
Strength."
After arriving in Los Angeles, the Cavaliers have a day of rest.
They couldn't train in the away game, so they had to stay in the hotel all day.
Although the team lost in a row, Lin Yu, who had tried his best in both games, asked Mike Brown for a leave of absence and went to the Warner Bros. studio to visit the "Weakness" crew.
The filming of "Weakness" is already halfway completed. In terms of plot, the crew first shot the scenes without Michael Oher.
As the protagonist, Michael Oher has the most shots, and the reason why the shots without him were shot first is because the NFL regular season has already started in mid-September, and Michael Oher needs to devote his energy to the NFL regular season.
.
Now, the filming has been going on for three months, and all the scenes without Michael Oher have been shot, and Michael Oher must also take time to reshoot his scenes one by one.
When Lin Yu visited the team, it was Michael Oher who re-shot the scene with him and the Taosi family.
Mrs. Tousy is played by Sandra Bullock, who has appeared in "Speed", Mr. Tousy is played by the well-known American country singer Tim McGraw, and Collins Tousy is played by Lily Collins.
Outside the studio, Lin Yu watched for a while, and then Gil Nate came over to shake hands.
The two chatted about the progress of the film's filming, as well as Warner Bros.'s subsequent operational ideas and thoughts.
"The investment of 30 million has just used 10 million US dollars, and there is still 20 million US dollars. We estimate that by the time all filming is completed, there will still be 15 million US dollars left in the initial investment. We decided to use the remaining 15 million US dollars
All of them will be invested in subsequent publicity work.”
"Because this movie fits the current theme of anti-racial discrimination in the United States. A white family gives countless help to a black man living on the street. Obviously, this movie has the ability to compete for major film awards. Warner Bros. promises that they will
Work hard and make it win awards."
From Gil Nate's words, Lin Yu could feel the sincerity of Warner Bros., and of course he knew where the sincerity came from.
For this movie, Lin Yu took out the script and invested 20 million US dollars, but in the end he only got 50% of the box office share. This was his concession.
Of course, Warner Bros., who got the other half, actually paid a lot. On the one hand, it produced the movie, on the other hand, it distributed the movie, plus an investment of US$10 million. The three together accounted for the other 50
%.
Lin Yu did some math for himself. If he wanted to avoid losing money on this movie, the box office must reach at least 80 million U.S. dollars, because half of the box office revenue must be divided first to the theaters, and the remaining half is between him and Warner Bros.
Divide equally.
Considering that Lin Yu had an extra US$10 million and the US$800,000 excluded from purchasing the copyright of the weak points, he could only ensure that he would not lose money if the box office exceeded US$80 million.
In his previous life, Lin Yu could not remember the exact box office figures of "Weaknesses", but he remembered that after watching the movie, he flipped through the reviews of a certain bean and found a comment that pointed out that the box office of "Weaknesses" exceeded 200 million.
Dollar.
If this weakness in time and space can also get a box office of 200 million US dollars, Lin Yu can earn 30 million US dollars from this investment, which is equivalent to double or even more income.
Considering that the investment cycle is only two years at most, this investment is obviously a profitable investment.
"I hope the final box office results will be as expected?"
Lin Yu also took the time to meet with Wen Ziren after exploring the crew's weaknesses.
The post-production of the Linsanity documentary has been completed. James Wan is planning to take the documentary to the Sundance Film Festival in January. After attending the film festival, he will contact the distribution company for distribution and release.
Because Lin Yu did not participate in the investment of this documentary, all he received from Lin Crazy Documentary was a salary of US$500,000.
Now he continues to understand the progress of Lin Crazy's documentary, just because this is a story related to him, and Lin Yu must pay attention to it at all times.
After the meeting with James Wan was over, Lin Yu finally found Amber again and had dinner together. They did not return to the hotel until one o'clock in the evening.
After a brief reunion, Lin Yu learned that Amber's career in Hollywood was progressing rapidly. She starred in a small-budget horror movie "I Will Love You Until Death", and then received an invitation from James Wan to prepare for the 2007 film.
In the first half of this year, he starred in the horror film "Dead Silence" directed by James Wan.
While her career is progressing rapidly, Amber can still see Lin Yu's help to her. At least, it was through Lin Yu that she won the role in James Wan's horror film.
The day after the Cavaliers arrived in Los Angeles, Lin Yu woke up early. In the afternoon game, he would face Kobe Bryant again.
Looking back on the match last season, for the first time, Kobe Bryant was defeated by Lin Yu, who was in Linsanity and had a magician attribute bonus.
Then the second time, Kobe Bryant encountered Lin Yu who was driving. At that time, the Celtics were at a critical moment in the playoffs. Lin Yu stepped forward and led the team to win. Kobe Bryant
So I was frustrated once again.
In this match, Kobe, who is very competitive, will not allow himself to lose again, but facing the menacing Lin Yu and LeBron James, Kobe, who has only the left-handed magician by his side, is under great pressure.
Before the game started, North America had already started to get excited about it. Kobe Bryant vs. Lin Crazy, 23vs24, are all hot spots worthy of attention in this game.
