Unconsciously, online dramas have gradually occupied half of the film and television market. If you are a NBA basketball fan like me, then "NBA", which was just released in June this year, is a movie not to be missed.
Plot summary
NBA 76ers senior scout Stanley Sugarman (Sugerman sugar man [face covering] ) is tired of traveling around the world looking for potential rookies. I hope to become an assistant coach of the team so that I can spend more time with my family and at the same time complete my career advancement. Unfortunately, Sugarman, who has been successful in his full-time career, has passed away due to his old age and has different opinions with the new owner on player selection. Our protagonist, Sugar Man, is forced to embark on another journey to Europe to find the future of tomorrow. Star's journey.
The players who needed to be inspected in the plan were unable to play in the game for some reason, but unexpectedly saw a talented guy wearing flat boots on the Spanish field field and outperforming the others. Sugarman fell in love with him at first sight and decided that this was the young man who could help the team win the championship and let him return to his assistant position. He did not hesitate to follow him to his residence like a monster, and through fierce persuasion, he took him on a plane to Philadelphia.
But no matter how easy it is for the sugar man, the little boss just doesn’t buy it and firmly refuses to recognize that this is the final piece of the puzzle for the team to win the championship. The protagonist, who has always been gentle, finally couldn't bear the small boss' repeated deliberate attempts to make things difficult. I would rather resign than single-handedly send young Paul Cruz into the NBA draft. Therefore, this story unfolds with twists and turns.
Twists and turns
The growth of any young person will not be smooth sailing, let alone Cruze who comes from a difficult family. Because he maliciously hurt others when he was young, he was almost deported when he entered the United States. Although he was extremely talented and unrivaled on the field, his weaknesses were exposed in the first internal training game after arriving in Philadelphia; he was deported; After the 76ers (or to be precise, was given up by the small boss), Sugarman asked for his own money to train Cruz to become a better player; seeing that everything was ready, he originally agreed to insert Cruz into the draft through internal relations. The list was ruined; in desperation, the protagonist's daughter thought of using the power of the Internet, and the challenge of "Who can beat Cruze" became popular on video websites, and even attracted NBA players to challenge; if you think you can become an Internet celebrity, you can Knocking on the door of the NBA, the screenwriter of the film will not make the plot so easy...
In the most important training game before the official draft, Cruz is full of ambition and ready to show off his talents. The little black guy who deserves the most beating in the whole drama once again resorted to the famous NBA-"trash talk", although in the previous training, Sugarman had deliberately tried to anger Cruz and warned him to be like an iceberg on the court. Just as ruthless. But the young Cruz still couldn't bear it. His opponent spoke ill of his young daughter. In anger, he pushed Hei down and hit the court floor with a iron palm ...
A player who can't control his emotions , cannot gain a foothold in the NBA. Even if you are on the court and have the ability to score whatever you want, a little bit of negative news off the court can ruin your entire career and even affect the team's overall plan. The sugar man who has been in the league for many years now feels that he has no way to save himself, so he has no choice but to send Cruze back to his hometown...
There is no way out after the mountains and rivers, and there is a bright future in another village. Relying on Sugar Man's good popularity in the circle, the old guys did not abandon him. Cruz's name appeared on the list for the internal teaching competition. This time the young man finally proved his strength and won the favor of Celtics .
Happy Ending
Cruz was successfully selected for the NBA, and Sugarman also joined the 76ers' uniform team as he wished. Even if such a happy ending is expected, I believe no one will object.
I believe you will find many familiar faces in the above video screenshots.With the help of a large number of current and retired NBA players and coaches, the film will satisfy basketball fans not only in terms of the plot but also the cast. Although the score of 7.4 is not amazing, for people who love basketball, it has another reason to sweat like rain in the hot summer.
Hustle
The English title "Hustle" originally means "liar". If it is just translated, there is absolutely no way to connect it with the Chinese title "The Winning Scout". The Chinese title is obviously chosen based on the plot and is easier for the audience to understand. The reason why the English film is called "Hustle" may be because concealment and deception are also one of the main threads in the plot. Cruz concealed his malicious behavior of hurting others; Sugarman also hid the truth from the young man, even though he had lost his job, he also promised to help Cruz enter the NBA draft. Of course, in mainstream European and American culture, this kind of Underdogs counterattack success story often has a considerable audience and market. To put it a bit exaggerated, it is probably one of the manifestations of the overflowing Holy Mother heart after having no worries about food and clothing. Overall, it is still a film suitable for basketball fans.
