191. I need to relax
The weakness of the inside made the Cavaliers lose the Memphis Grizzlies again. In order to prevent the opponent's outside from going crazy again, Scott did not require Wu Dawei to actively participate in assisting defense in this game. /////////// In this way, Zach Randolph, who was defending alone by Jamison, began to have fun without any scruples in the inside.
30 points and 15 rebounds, which was the report card handed over by Zach Randolph after the game. It almost exploded the whole game.
The Cavaliers' weakness in the inside made Wu Dawei's 21 points, 12 rebounds, 3 blocks and 2 steals in this game eclipse. Against the backdrop of Zach Randolph's 30 points in the game, Jamison and Valaijo of the Cavaliers only scored 25 points together, which is undoubtedly pale in comparison.
The two consecutive losses made the Cavaliers' situation that just got a good start in the Eastern Conference ranking competition, and suddenly fell into an unfavorable situation. The 23-23-loss record was in danger of 50 wins, while the Knicks behind the Cavaliers won a game with Anthony's explosive performance during the two consecutive losses of the Cavaliers. In this way, the Knicks' record became 23-24 losses.
Chasing the Pacers, ranked sixth, is instantly out of the scope of the Clevelanders' consideration, because they have to worry about their own losses, and the New Yorkers are only half a win behind them.
Just like after the Knicks traded from the Denver Nuggets to Cameron Anthony, they started pursuing Chris Paul without stopping, the Cavaliers' search for trades obviously has to speed up.
There are many teams with strong insiders in the league, at least there will be more or less good insiders in the teams of strong teams. If the Cavaliers' goal is still in the playoffs, then undoubtedly, the action of strengthening the inside must speed up the process.
The two defeats to the Grizzlies within three days, the Cavaliers not only exposed their weaknesses, but also had some impact on their confidence. The players need to take a break, and the league's schedule is at this time "take care of" the Cavaliers. After playing against the Grizzlies, the Cavaliers will return to Cleveland to rest for a few days before continuing to meet the next opponent.
Wu Dawei did not return to Cleveland with the team. Raflin had already greeted the team. Wu Dawei took a flight to Los Angeles directly in Memphis. According to the agreement with Raflin, he went to Los Angeles to shoot a public service advertisement.
Wu Dawei already knows this advertisement. Although he has almost no experience in shooting advertisements, he should be prepared in advance. Although Wu Dawei agreed to Raflin to shoot this public service advertisement, he did not intend to stay in Los Angeles for a long time because of the team's recent two consecutive losses. Wu Dawei found that he could not save his team at all when facing an opponent like the Grizzlies who are strong inside and outside.
While he was unable to defend the opponent's outside core, he helped his teammates to defend the inside players. Although this was not Wu Dawei's fault in any case, Wu Dawei just felt a little guilty.
He can't help the team when they need him.
So, after flying to Los Angeles to meet Raflin, Wu Dawei told her what she thought. Although this was just a temporary decision, Raflin still expressed his understanding understanding very understanding.
After all, the purpose of her arrangement for Wu Dawei to shoot this public service advertisement is not entirely to make Wu Dawei's image in the public eye, and to become more active and even win the favor of more advertisers to obtain endorsement contracts; there is also a little bit of her own selfishness.
As we all know, Raflin has been keen on public welfare and charity activities in protecting animals for a long time. Naturally, Wu Dawei has become popular all over the country. Raflin also hopes to rely on Wu Dawei's influence to better contribute to protecting animals.
Wu Dawei hopes to leave the next day, which means there is only one day to shoot the advertisement. Although this time is a bit hasty, it is enough. However, Raflin originally wanted Wu Dawei to take him to a charity party after shooting the public service advertisement. Now it seems that this idea can only be postponed.
Raflin arranged a temporary residence for Wu Dawei in Los Angeles, and soon, after he arrived in Los Angeles, he was taken to the studio by Raflin before he could rest. However, Wu Dawei had no complaints about such an arrangement. The sooner he could end his return to Cleveland, it was something he could not afford at the moment.
But just as Wu Dawei came to the studio with an urgent mood and was about to sacrifice himself for charity... he found that there was always a slight gap between imagination and reality...
After meeting with the director who was responsible for shooting this advertisement, the other party told him about the shooting process. In fact, it was a very simple scene. Wu Dawei sat on a sofa with several animals, and then looked at the screen opposite and spoke.
It's even simpler than eating. Wu Dawei was happy that his first charity undertaking in his life was so simple. This beginning is very suitable for novices.
The first person to partner with Wu Dawei was a puppy, who looked maybe one or two months old. He stretched out his tongue and licked Wu Dawei's mouth like a chrysanthemum.
Wu Dawei sat on the sofa with the little guy in his arms, and then after the director's permission, he began to chant words on the screen opposite: "Hi, everyone, I am Wu Dawei from the Cleveland Cavaliers. This is my good friend Qiqi. Your generous donation can help many small animals like Qiqi."
Wu Dawei said the words on the screen smoothly to the camera. His expression was natural throughout the whole process, and there was no novice in the shooting. This smooth situation made the director very satisfied. Because before the shooting, Raflin told him that Wu Dawei had only one day to shoot this advertisement.
Therefore, if the filming can continue smoothly like this, it will be a relief for the director.
"Well, it's not bad. Wu, very perfect! The next one is Rocky! You did a great job, we can speed up the progress a little, and there are surprises waiting for you later."
As soon as the director finished speaking, a blonde girl emerged from the background wall behind Wu Dawei. She was holding an animal in her hand, which immediately made Wu Dawei scream as if she was frightened: "I'll go! This is a magic horse thing!"
Wu Dawei jumped up directly from the sofa because the blonde was holding the guy he didn't know and approaching Wu Dawei.
"He is very friendly~" The blonde beauty sat directly on the sofa, holding Wu Dawei, looking like a mouse with a huge size that had grown countless times. "This is a weasel. It is very friendly."
"Oh! No!" Wu Dawei was most afraid of rats, including its distant relatives... "Look at the tail and mouth..." Wu Dawei shook his head, glanced at Laflin standing aside with help: "I can't touch this..."
"Don't worry, it won't bite, I mean it's serious."
"Wow~ Yes..." Wu Dawei still disagreed, "because he is more interested in your clothes now..." Wu Dawei pointed to the beauty's clothes with both hands. The rat was pulling the blond girl's collar with its front paws. Obviously, it was interested in the two little white rabbits inside the clothes...
In short, Wu Dawei absolutely couldn't stand the rat... After taking a few deep breaths, he said to the director: "Can I do a few warm-ups first?" Wu Dawei no longer hopes to ask for help from Raflin, because this woman is gloating around from beginning to end.
"Do you want to call a warm-up?" asked the director.
"certainly."
"Or else, let's change to a less difficult one first? Let's make a more relaxed one first."
"Good idea." Wu Dawei agreed instantly. He really couldn't get so close to the mouse.
"Okay, then I'll invite a charming hairy animal." When the director said this, the smile on his face made Wu Dawei feel a little scared. Then he turned his head... "I'm a grass!"
Wu Dawei jumped up from the sofa and stood directly to the camera: "Does this guy have a cute place on his body? Look at his mouth, I know what this is..."
It was the blonde just now. This time she stopped holding the rat because there was a bird standing on her arm...
"Stay quiet and don't be too excited? Because this will make it more relaxed..."
"Let it relax? I need to relax..." Wu Dawei saw clearly. This was a vulture, the type of large bird that is said to specialize in eating corpses... When he thought about what it ate, Wu Dawei was a little chilled, "Have you all taken tranquilizers? Can you stand so close to this guy..."
"I can't stand so close to it..." Wu Dawei does like furry cute goods, but it doesn't mean he is not afraid of this large predator. Humans always have weaknesses. At least for now, this vulture is Wu Dawei's weaknesses...
"Hmm?" The director smiled sinisterly and raised his eyebrows at Wu Dawei, then touched the vulture, and said to Wu Dawei: "This is why the Cavaliers lost two consecutive games in the past two times?"
Wu Dawei: “…”
...
...
Wu Dawei arrived in Los Angeles in the morning, and the animals were photographed in the evening. It took several hours because many of the animals inside were completely different from what Wu Dawei thought before...
Rather than shooting a public service advertisement, Wu Dawei felt more like he was being tricked... because Raflin's laughter never stopped...
Fortunately, the filming was successful in the end. Although Wu Dawei had obstacles in contacting some animals that made him "fear", the misaligned shot saved him and the animals...
Although Wu Dawei was constantly "dreamed" by the director for his "timidity", when the advertisement was completed, the director still sincerely thanked Wu Dawei for his righteous deeds. You should know that in this era when celebrities are as expensive as gold, it is not easy to find a public figure with enough influence to shoot public service advertisements for free.
And after shooting the advertisement, Wu Dawei also received an unexpected "gift"... (To be continued.
