Chapter 721 [Fatigue weekend, sensitive topic]

"Two days off? This is the All-Star Weekend. You are the head coach of the Western Conference, how can you only be there on the last day?"

When David Stern got the call from Yang Rui, he couldn't believe what he heard.

In the history of the NBA, there has never been such a precedent for taking a leave of absence without illness. Even if a player is injured and cannot play, he should try his best to participate in activities and be interviewed.

Yang Rui explained: "What if it's a coincidence? February 2th is the Oscars ceremony. I promised to attend. If I don't go, the three female stars will have no female companions."

"Uh..." Star Weekend got together with Oscar.Stern watched the news, and the entertainment industry has recently used Yang Rui for hype, and his girlfriend Stana Katic was nominated for Best Actress.

Yang Rui continued: "Even if I participated in Star Weekend two days ago, does the league expect me to talk a lot, or to steal the limelight from the rookies on the sidelines? Coaches have never been the protagonists of Star Weekend. I will be interviewed on the third day. Create some topicality, otherwise reporters will just ask boring questions.”

Stern thought for a moment and agreed to Yang Rui's request. It is more important to praise the players than the coaches. The most attractive to fans are always those who play and score beautiful statistics.

Yang Rui's absence is more topical than his presence.

On the 25th, the rookie game was the first to start.

Jeremy Lin is a popular fried chicken, an all-star who is not an all-star.There were so many media interviewing him before the game that the NBA had to prepare a special conference room for him, a treatment that only President David Stern could enjoy in the past.

However, Jeremy Lin did not play much time. He only played 9 minutes and scored 2 points and 1 assist.

It's not that O'Neal doesn't use him on purpose, but he doesn't play well. Once he doesn't have the ball and doesn't play the pick-and-roll, he won't be able to play.The star game is a chaotic battle, and it is impossible to arrange special tactics for him.

Jeremy Lin's Shaq team lost, Griffin was also on the team, and only scored 10 points.

巴克利队146比133轻松赢球。状元凯瑞-欧文拿下了34分9次助攻，三分球8投8中，获得了MVP。

The next day's challenge, the Lakers insider Kevin Love beat Curry, upset and won the new three-point king.

In the preliminaries, Curry scored a high score of 23 points, but in the final, he played abnormally, scoring only 16 points, and was PKed down by Love with 17 points.

The slam dunk contest championship was won by the Jazz fringe power forward Jeremy Evans. This is his only chance to show his face. Except for dunks, he has no advantages.

On the same day, Yang Rui went to the Oscars, with three actresses and one male companion. This was the first time in the history of the Hollywood red carpet. It was hard not to attract attention, and it would kill countless films in seconds.

The Oscar red carpet is actually divided into two channels, one is the star channel and the other is the guest channel.

People often say "walking the red carpet" refers to the star channel closer to the press box.This channel passes through the media area, which is convenient for celebrities to be interviewed and filmed by reporters, and has a special person to guide and organize.The guest channel, which is farther away from the press box, is on the outside of the star channel. There is no special person to guide it.

In previous Oscar reports, the reporter saw Yang Rui twice being discovered by reporters from the guest channel and called out to re-enter the star channel. This time he made a high-profile appearance.

Stana will definitely not win, she just ran with her. No one thinks of her, including herself. She is a female star who acts in commercial films and cannot compete with Meryl Sturt, the heroine of the biographical film "Iron Lady: Solid Tenderness". Ripby's acting.

If she can be nominated once, Stana will be satisfied, because Xiao Lizi has nominated N times, and she has not won the award yet.

"Gravity" performed amazingly. Yang Rui didn't know how Facebook did it. They won over $7 million at the global box office and won ten nominations.The movie was released two years earlier than his previous life, and its popularity has not diminished. The plot is extremely simple, but it shines.

The audience went crazy, and the critics were even more applauded, saying that they were fascinated by the fantastic and fantastic space scene created by director Alfonso Cuaron.

As the director of this phenomenal blockbuster, Alfonso Cuaron currently holds two Best Director trophies, the Golden Globe Award and the Directors Guild of America Award, known as the "Oscar vane". remote.

In the end, "Gravity" won seven awards, including best director, best visual effects, and best soundtrack. Although it missed the best picture and best actress, it was still the biggest winner of the night.

颁奖结束后是招待大明星们色香味俱全的奥斯卡晚宴，米其林厨师使用7500只虾、6500个小金人面包，法式甜点马卡龙2250个，1400瓶香槟、800个蟹钳料理、400磅顶级和牛、350磅鲔鱼与烟燻鲑鱼、250尾龙虾以及10公斤鱼子酱等做食材。

In addition to the classic must-have dishes, such as the salmon caviar dish in the shape of the golden statuette, the golden statuette chocolate that can be taken away, and 4 unique cocktails, there are more than 50 dishes in total, making the guests finger-licking and happy.

Yang Rui attended the dinner party, then sent his girlfriends home first, brought four bodyguards without stopping, flew to Orlando on a private plane in the early morning, and arrived more than 5 hours later.

He checked into the hotel to rest, and only started participating in activities in the afternoon, training with the Western Stars team, and being interviewed by reporters.

After this set of procedures, Yang Rui created a lot of topicality. Many reporters asked him about Oscar, and some bold reporters raised sensitive topics, questioning him that he didn't care about NBA All-Stars, and asked him to talk about his thoughts.

Yang Rui casually perfunctory, he really doesn't care about the All-Star Game, the game is obviously held to make money, and it has to rise to the height of professional ethics, is it interesting?

If the NBA's professional ethics were so important, it would not be suspended, if the management of each team was so humane, players would not change teams every year, buying and selling like commodities, and coaches would not be dismissed at any time and lost their jobs.

In the All-Star Game, Yang Rui arranged tactics that fit the team's lineup as much as possible, just two sets, running and shooting and pick-and-roll.Don't think about the point forward, except the big man in the West is the guard.

The Western Conference lineup looked extremely unreasonable, but it still won the Eastern Conference 152-149 and at one point led by 22 points.

The offensive rhythm of the two teams is very fast, and the performance is mainly. The overall speed of the east is obviously not as good as that of the west.

Kobe Bryant also went to Orlando without participating in the game. When he was a guest commentator, he said: "Durant's sharp offense is the most difficult to defend."

Durant scored 36 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists, and won the All-Star MVP trophy for the first time in his career.

Bryant also expressed regret for not being able to participate in the All-Star Game, where he would have surpassed Jordan in All-Star scoring.

It's not a blessing for Sai Weng to lose his horse. In Yang Rui's previous life, Kobe Bryant was beaten by Wade in this star game with a broken nasal bone and a concussion. Now that he has saved his nose, it will not be too late to surpass Jordan next year.

On the East side, James 36 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists, Wade 24 points, 10 rebounds and 10 assists, but missed the MVP because of the loss; Although Howard played at home, his performance was even worse, with only 9 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists.

Howard worked hard to perform, but did it the wrong way. He played 31 minutes and went 9-of-4 from the field, 4-of-0 from 2-point range, and 1-of-[-] from the free throw line.

Howard, who was not sure about the mid-range shot, actually made 4 three-pointers. Isn't this an undercover?Taking the same route of living treasure, he is really not as good as O'Neal's ability to perform.
