Chapter 850 [Two monsters, a new look]

In September, Yang Rui sent her 9-year-old daughter Shirley to a famous aristocratic kindergarten in Los Angeles.

This is what Scarlett Johansson suggested. If children don't meet friends of the same age, learn some enlightenment knowledge, and always stay at home with their parents, it is easy to be spoiled.

At first, Yang Rui had strong resistance. As soon as he heard the word "kindergarten", he had an ominous premonition. He imagined that his daughter was going to be abused. Come to Mammy Rong, I will stab you to death.

Children who graduate from this kind of kindergarten are easy to leave childhood shadows, which will lead to various psychological problems when they grow up. Joining an organization like the Phantom Troupe is just around the corner.

To this end, he took a group of bodyguards to inspect the kindergarten.

After the inspection, he was relieved. The teachers generally have a bachelor's degree or above. On the surface, they seem to be "stocking" the children, but in fact they love and care from the bottom of their hearts.

As soon as the headmistress saw Yang Rui, she started talking nonstop about the situation in the kindergarten. With that expression, she could not wait to hug Yang Rui's thigh and call her father. This kind of teacher would definitely not abuse Xue Li.

Kindergarten also has a very rich teaching content: singing, dancing, art, mathematics, handicraft, science, language, sports, etc. It sounds good, and Shirley likes it very much.

The children of this kindergarten have parents who are either Los Angeles business giants or entertainment stars, or doctors, lawyers, civil servants, and many acquaintances.

The kindergarten teachers who can work here are also carefully selected. Whoever dares to abuse children here will definitely be punished by the nine clans.

This month, the most powerful players in the NBA have been signed, and most of them have stayed on the team.It is very difficult to dig restricted free agents this year, and all teams will match the contract, even if the maximum salary is offered.

For example, the Jazz matched the Hornets' four-year, $4 million contract for Gordon Hayward, and the fourth year is a player option.Last season, the 6300-year-old Hayward averaged 23 points, 36.4 rebounds and 16.2 assists in 5.1 minutes per game. He was only a second-rate star, and such a contract was unimaginable in previous years.

In 13, the Jazz wanted to renew the contract with Hayward in advance, and offered a five-year, 5 million contract, which was rejected. The player's salary increase has now quietly begun.

Yang Rui stayed at home for another half a month, and it was not boring, because the home was like a resort, with all kinds of entertainment facilities, but it was a little troublesome to look after the children. Shirley went to the kindergarten, and there were younger Chris and Claire at home.

I have been coaxing the children until the end of the month. On September 9, the Clippers held a media day, and the new season is about to start.

Yang Rui ordered six people to take core makeup photos together, Curry, Middleton, Guy, Draymond Green, Pau Gasol, and Nene.

Danny Green and Antetokounmpo were left out.

In the new season, Danny Green will put more energy on the defensive end. The number of shots on the offensive end will not increase. It is enough to catch the ball and shoot three-pointers. Yang Rui straightforwardly made him realize his position.

Antetokounmpo will focus on training this season and integrate into the team as soon as possible. Yang Rui will not arrange complicated tactics for him.

In his previous life with the Bucks, Kidd trained Antetokounmpo by letting him attack with the ball, combine sudden points and shots, play standard outside, and even let him serve as a point guard.

Yang Rui will not let Antetokounmpo be so non-mainstream, 211CM point guard is having fun!He intends to make it develop in the direction of Garnett. Garnett played a small forward in the early days, and belongs to the all-round forward with the best body. Around 2000, Garnett successfully transformed into a power forward and became one of the best in the league. Three power forwards. (No need to count, everyone knows who it is)
Therefore, Yang Rui is going to let Antetokounmpo directly practice pick-and-rolls, assist passing, face-to-frame breakthroughs, and shooting; the defensive end is coaching pick-and-rolls, assisting in blocking blocks, controlling backcourt rebounds, launching counterattacks with a pass, and so on. Something special.

If Antetokounmpo can practice the three-pointer, it will be perfect. He will coach a point in the bottom corner of the right side. The task is the ones that Yang Rui arranged for Griffin. After the side screen, he will cut in the air, single with the ball, and attract defensive passes. .

Yang Rui does not need Antetokounmpo to gain weight. He is more in line with the style of play in this era. Mobility and height are more important than confrontation. The 4th position should not be too tough.

In an interview, Yang Rui commented on all the players in the team, saying: "No one in the Clippers is superfluous, this is our championship lineup, and there will be no trade in the mid-term. I believe that by the end of the season, everyone will be together. In a good mood to lift the trophy, set a new era record of four consecutive championships, and be proud of everything this season."

People are not surprised by Yang Rui's bold declaration of winning the championship. Although many people feel that it is a disadvantage to send Griffin away, they also believe that Yang Rui can cultivate equally outstanding new stars. Fans will wait and see.

In the public training session the next day, Yang Rui let the fans feast their eyes and watched a slam dunk contest.

Many people thought it was difficult to find a player as entertaining as Griffin, but it turned out that the Clippers now have two on the team.

LaVine made a single fast break and completed the free-throw line take-off and a big windmill dunk, which directly shocked a group of people to drop their jaws.

Yang Rui did not arrange defense, and asked the players to perform to the fullest. The defensive end let people break in and play tricks.LaVine is most suitable for this kind of competition. The goals are all slam dunk contest-level performances, and then there are free-running drift windmills, 360-degree dunks, and dunks with folding levers.

After the first session, many fans who watched the live broadcast through Facebook Sports suspected that they had watched the fake game.Is this still human?It's actually a game video, and then the face is cut out, right?

LaVine rested, and Antetokounmpo started a new round of performances. He took three steps from beyond the three-point line and could dunk the ball into the basket with one hand.He was still defended, and completed a European step from beyond the arc to pick the basket.

Fans can already understand why Yang Rui traded Griffin in exchange for Antetokounmpo. Although his data last season was average, there was no pressure on Griffin when he was very talented. His speed, bounce, flexibility, and wingspan were all excellent. top.Griffin's quality is beast level, Antetokounmpo is superhuman level, he is an alien.

The other new recruits also showed their own strengths. Pau Gasol is an all-around insider, and he cooperated perfectly with Draymond Green for the first time. He grasped the timing of passing the ball very well, no matter who was empty. They can both send inside passes to cooperate with each other, and they can also pass outside teammates.

Gasol is especially suitable for pick-and-roll tactics and Princeton. He doesn't need much time to run in when he joins the Clippers, just play the way he is good at and likes.

The inside line on the bench is also outstanding. Whiteside does not have to do anything else. He just helps his teammates with the ball in the middle of the pick-and-roll, and then quickly cuts to the basket to catch the ball to attack the basket, or stand in the high post to catch the ball and shoot.He has poor passing awareness and will not respond. Yang Rui does not intend to let him practice this. The offensive end of the ball is the end of the offense.

In addition, Whiteside can do the work of Faried last season, rushing offensive rebounds very bravely.

Nene is experienced, and of course he can do pick-and-roll and air cuts well. He has been injured many times and his quality has declined. Fortunately, he is excellent in low-post footsteps and is excellent in one-on-one offense. Two swings are a layup or a hook.

The fringes of the team performed well. Turkoglu, Covington, Jones, Crabbe and others took turns soaring for three points.

Without waiting for the preseason to run in, Yang Rui firmly believes that the Clippers are still the strongest team this season, with a new lineup, and the new players have a strong desire to win, and will definitely do their best to defend the title.
