I thought it was rare enough to see Yang Dechang on CCTV-6 [please pretend that you would hate me].
Unexpectedly, I can see Kyrie Irving, Shaquille O'Neal, Chris Webber, Reggie Miller, Nate Robinson on the big screen in my lifetime.
Is this really not CCTV-5?
No, this is [Uncle Drew].
It's a "ridiculous" movie.
We all post-90s have frozen shoulder, cervical spondylosis, and lumbar disc herniation. In the movie, a group of old men in their seventies and eighties, whose skeletons are about to fall apart, are still on the basketball court, teaching young people how to be human.
There should be Zhang Weiping in the cinema to guide and explain: This ball is unreasonable.
But this is "unreasonable" and makes people extremely comfortable. It's not really ridiculous, it's beautifully ridiculous.
It's like in [Ace Secret Service], when Colin Firth shuts the door and beat the dog, saying "no manners, no way to stand", the gangsters fled with their tails between their tails.
In this arena, we need the monks who have retired from the ground to tell you what the rules of the arena are, and the martial arts are authentic.
The world is going down, people are not old, Uncle Drew, let you eat dirt.
01
[Uncle Drew] was originally a series of advertisements for Pepsi-Cola since 2012.
Kyrie Irving, who was born in 1992, acted as an old-fashioned man and brutalized passers-by on the street basketball court.
In 2012, Irving hadn't yet been a big hit, he hadn't won an NBA championship, and he hadn't won a World Cup MVP.
But he has already emerged and was elected as the NBA Rookie of the Year in the 2011-2012 season, and he has no shortage of strength.
When shooting the short film, the film crew lied to passersby that they wanted to shoot a documentary about a young player "Kevin", and the uncle Drew who entered the scene was "Kevin"'s uncle.
"Uncle" went on the field to practice his hands, and abused the young people until their mothers didn't even know them.
The truth is revealed, passers-by can only "fear and be afraid", too "bullying" people.
The short film was a huge success, and one after another was made, and Owen wrote and directed it himself.
Then came this feature film.
While making a movie, you can also score wildly on the court. That is, on November 17, not long ago, Irving played 39 minutes for the Boston Celtics and scored 43 points.
Irving must have seen Los Angeles and Boston at four in the morning, just like his idol Kobe.
02
On January 11, mainland China was finally able to watch Owen play on the big screen.
CCTV-5 watching him play, is hardcore. But Irving on the big screen, you'll never see him in Central 5.
His hair and beard are all white; he can hear the heartbeat of his lungs when he coughs - the world is so big, I want to come out and see it;
It's not just him, you can see Shaquille O'Neal, Chris Webber, Reggie Miller, Nate Robinson in this movie.
And these NBA legends have had an addiction to pretending to be old. But they were all so old that they could climb five floors in one breath.
Chris Webber plays the "Pastor", and women's basketball player Lisa Leslie plays an old husband and wife who are happy with each other.
Reggie Miller as the visually impaired "Hwang".
Aguang has turned off the lights and can't see the light, but he still believes that he is shooting all the way.
Nate Robinson is the "shoe" paralyzed in a wheelchair.
He was clearly judged by the doctor to spend his life in a wheelchair, but as soon as he touched a basketball, he sat up in shock from a dying illness.
Shaquille O'Neal plays a veritable "big guy."
Opened a gym to teach children martial arts, but even the Maitreya Buddha ornaments in the gym have a basketball on their fingertips.
The ball was played unreasonably. According to the degree of graying of their hair, they should have fallen to the ground as soon as they came on the court, and suffered symptoms such as palpitations, high blood pressure, fractures, fainting, and stroke.
But on the contrary, as long as they touch the ball, their old problems will be cured.
"Shoes" said, it's not that you don't play when you're old, but the moment you don't play, you're really old.
[Uncle Drew] The setting of "ball cures all diseases" is really the most absurd truth.
03
Of course, the one that cures all diseases is not the ball that bothers you to cheer it up;
What cheers you up is the love of playing with your brothers when you're 80.
Uncle Drew explained his love for basketball this way:
"Is there any reason not to love basketball? It's the most reliable thing in the world. It doesn't complain, it doesn't ask any questions. You dribble and it bounces back into your hand."
In 2013, Irving scored 41 points in a single game against the New York Knicks, surpassing Jordan and becoming the youngest player to score 40 points at Madison Square Garden.
In 2009, Robinson, who is 175cm tall, crossed Dwight Howard, who was 2.1 meters tall, in the NBA slam dunk contest and scored a solid goal.
In 1998, Webber was reluctantly traded to the Kings because they kept losing. But that season, they almost reached the finals.
When O'Neal signed with the Lakers in 1996, the media reported that his seven-year contract was worth as much as $121 million, and he said: "I'm tired of hearing money, money, money, I just want to play basketball, drink Coke, wear sneakers."
In 1995, the Pacers were down 99-105 in the final 18.7 seconds against the Knicks, but it took Miller 8.9 seconds to hit two 3-pointers in a row and two free throws to make it 107-105 , lore.
You see them on the field, they are all sparkling.
And the movies just put their light on in an exaggerated and even absurd way.
You can still see Owen score 40 points in the movie;
I could see Robinson dunking happily, and O'Neal even held him up cutely;
Can see Webb reach the finals;
O'Neal can be seen wriggling happily on the court, simply playing ball, putting on shoes, drinking Coke;
See Miller's magic 3-pointer.
You seem to see that decades later, the once brilliant people are still immortal.
Ridiculous? But I believed it.
Love is absurd. Losing his mind for what he loves, carrying a body of bones that are about to fall apart, and breaking bones on the court.
For this, on January 11th, I can go to the cinema and watch CCTV-5 once.
