Chapter 763 [Timing, showdown]

After the Christmas battle, Yang Rui rushed to the hospital immediately, and Stana Katic was about to give birth.

Coincidentally, his child was born on Christmas. From the moral point of view, Christmas represents the birth of hope and joy, and the birthday of the child born on this day is also very memorable. It can be said that people all over the world are sending blessings to him. .

At 10:50 in the evening, two children were born one after another, two brothers and sisters, twins.

Thomas Bentley, who is still the fifth of the diamond king, came to the hospital to celebrate together and asked with a smile, "You are now the father of three children, what do you think?"

"I don't have any special feelings. I can take a few children with ease! The secret is that I have money."

After a while, Yang Rui couldn't smile anymore.

Scarlett Johansson had a whim and was going to have another baby to see if it was a twin.She and Hunter are twins, with this kind of gene, and they are confident that they can bring a few children with ease and beauty, because they are rich.

If Scarlett really gave birth to twins or twins, Yang Rui would have five children.Nina Dobrev has a very stable relationship with him and will not break up. If there are children in the future, even if there is only one, it will be six children. If there are two, it will be the configuration of the Hulu brothers.

Stana has inherited her mother's love of children, and she has been pessimistic about filming and work. If she wants to have another one in the future, going out to play on a big yacht in the future will be the Eight Immortals crossing the sea.

Yang Rui suspects that he will not be clean in the second half of his life, and may soon have a mid-life crisis.

Thomas also has some headaches. He is not young, he is not married, and he has no children. The only thing that is comfortable is that there is no old man urging him to marry.Children are the continuation of life, this is true, at least people who have a lot of business, should have an heir.

On December 12, the Clippers beat the Celtics 27-116 at home.

This season, the Green Army has declined in an all-round way. After this game, the record is only 12 wins and 16 losses. With one less Ray Allen, the rationality of the lineup has been destroyed.

The Green Army started with Rondo and Jason Terry on the outside. The height was too disadvantageous, the confrontation was poor, and the defense declined; without Terry, only Pierce had a three-point shooting point in the starting line, and the real center Rondo could not attract defense from the outside. Down, they can't break the zone defense on offense.

The internal strength of the Green Army has also declined. Rookies Jared Sullinger and Brandon Bass are not tall and interfere with shooting poor.Garnett is tall and lacks strength after losing weight. Both offense and defense have declined. He averaged only 14.8 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.3 assists per game.

Unlike Yang Rui's previous life, the Green Army has one less Jeff Green off the bench, and role player Kootenay Lee leads the offense off the bench, which can't be carried at all.

If it weren't for the Clippers' core team who got off work in three quarters and played only a little over 10 minutes, they would definitely win by more than 50 points.

On the 28th and 30th, the Clippers won two home and away games against the underdog Jazz, extending their winning streak to 31 games, winning two consecutive months.

Relying on stable data and playing like a hang-up, Curry has won the best player of the month in the Western Conference. There are two anxious games, both of which were won by Curry with three-pointers in the last quarter. He is also inaccurate. time, but playing the underdog does not affect the outcome.

The media has begun to discuss the possibility of Curry winning the regular season MVP as the sixth man again, and the player of the month will give players extra points in the selection.

If Curry is eventually elected, he will be an unprecedented bench player who won the MVP, setting a magical record.No one can compete with him as the best sixth man. According to the selection criteria, he will also create a historical record of three consecutive sixth men.

Such a gimmick made Curry the darling of the league, and the All-Star vote actually surpassed LeBron James, temporarily occupying the throne.Paul is even worse. He is ranked third in the West behind Kobe, and the gap is relatively large. He must not be able to start.

Even if the Lakers do not enter the playoffs now, Kobe still has a high popularity. No difficulty can shake Comey's hand on the mouse. They just want to vote for their idols.

There is also a group of top Comey, who still believe that Kobe is the first star in the league and is perfect. If he can't win, his teammates are too rubbish.The reason is very simple, the boss has 84 points.

After Paul joined the Clippers, he made three All-Star starts, and now his popularity has been surpassed by his own. All the reporters are like cats smelling fishy, ​​swarming up and appearing near the Clippers Arena, wanting to dig out big news.

There are irresponsible gossip that the Clippers will trade Paul in the mid-term and don't need him anymore.Players and the coaching staff have been interviewed time and time again to refute rumors, but there is no way to prevent such news from appearing.

After back-to-back victories over the Nuggets and Warriors in January, the Clippers got a day off before playing the underdog Lakers at home on the 1th.Yang Rui announced that the team was on vacation and asked Paul to eat alone.

Everyone knows that Yang Rui's children were born recently, and he stays at home with his family whenever he has a holiday. There must be big news for Paul to have dinner at this juncture.

It's a pity that the reporters couldn't do interviews, and they couldn't even take a few photos if they wanted to. Yang Rui's hotel was not far from his home, and the private room was surrounded by bodyguards.

After ordering, Paul smiled wryly: "It's so grand, the team doesn't really want to trade me in the mid-term, right?"

Yang Rui shook his head and smiled: "Of course it's impossible, but I think it's better to explain some words, otherwise you will definitely have doubts in your heart, and if you are distracted, I'm worried that you won't be able to perform at your best level."

Paul nodded and sighed: "Go ahead, I'm mentally prepared."

Yang Rui said sternly: "After this season, the Clippers will definitely renew the contract with Stephen. Next season, I plan to let him start. If you can accept the bench position, we will definitely welcome the renewal of the contract in the summer. The goal of the Clippers is to Building a dynasty, you and Stephen have played really well these past few seasons."

"What if I don't accept it?" Paul asked, eyes twinkling.

He was still in his prime and won the regular season MVP the previous season. How could he be willing to be a substitute at such a young age?He also regrets losing the opportunity to build a dynasty and the big Los Angeles market.

Yang Rui said: "Then we will let you go, you can choose to join a team you like freely, and, in this year's finals, I will ask the players of the whole team to help you brush the data and win the finals MVP, so that you have no regrets. leave."

Paul froze for a moment, then smiled. "Aren't you afraid of losing?"

"Losing? At most, not sweeping the opponent, right? In this way, I think the league will be happier. David Stern will retire next year. We will give him face, not create a finals with disparity in strength, but only create super data. "

Paul was silent for a moment before making a decision. "I'll take the second route, thank you for thinking of me, Jerry."

"You're welcome. We have been working together very happily in the past few years. You shouldn't leave with regrets." Yang Rui smiled.

Paul's heart knot is unraveled. If there is a championship ring, MVP and Finals MVP, his career is very complete.He just failed to lead the team to three consecutive championships as the core, which is a bit regrettable.

Paul has a high emotional intelligence and knows that Curry is now soaring in popularity and can replace himself.Curry's commercial value is higher than him, and he is younger than him, so he is more suitable for training as a core outsider.

After thinking about this, Paul never thought about making unreasonable demands, falling out with the management, and just wanted to get together and leave.

If there is a conflict, it will only be a lose-lose situation; otherwise, a win-win situation is possible.

At least, Paul doesn't want people to think that he has a problem with his character. If he doesn't join the Clippers, he will have nothing at the moment, and he is depressed because he can't win. He is now much luckier than his good buddy James.
