Chapter 865 [The power of idols, the first superstar]

During the draft, many teams contacted the Clippers and proposed a trade.They all saw that the Clippers had too many perimeter players, and Yang Rui's vision has always been accurate. In exchange for a rookie from the Clippers, he is likely to be pleasantly surprised.

Olshey called to ask, and Yang Rui said: "They all refused. If we want to trade, we can wait for the summer league. We can keep these people. We need to make up a 15-man lineup in the summer. If there is no chance to play, we will send them to the D-League for training."

The Clippers have passed the application and will form a new team next season, named "Facebook Minions" to join the NBDL Development League. This name is purely to advertise the company, and you can see who is affiliated with the team at a glance.

The number of G League teams has increased sharply from 2001 in 8 to 20 next season, and NBA Commissioner Adam Silva's ultimate goal is to allow each of the 30 NBA teams to have their own G League ball. team.

A player playing in an NBA-affiliated league can help them get into the NBA, but the lack of effective compensatory measures can lead to some good players going overseas.

In the past few seasons, the NBDL salary structure has been fixed, divided into three tiers according to the level of players, namely $1.3 (C-level), $1.9 (B-level) and $2.55 (A-level) level), each team’s salary cap is $17.3. While the NBA salary cap is increasing wildly, the NBDL’s treatment is even more shabby.

However, players are thinking about this springboard to the NBA, maybe one day you're playing for the Defensives in the G League, and the next day, you're probably playing for the Los Angeles Lakers, which is why there is so much The reason why many basketball talents will continue to play in the NBDL.

Before the draft was over, Devin Booker, who was invited to the Green Room, was very nervous, for fear of hearing the news of his being traded, and he also felt that the Clippers had too many guards.

There is no rookie who is unwilling to play under Yang Rui. Booker guesses that Gay will leave the Clippers and the team needs a sixth man, which is his short-term goal.

Yang Rui chose Booker for this purpose. As a substitute, he fought with LaVine, and his offensive firepower must be very strong.The Clippers had a great defense last season, but Yang Rui still likes to attack and win, and he can never have too many attackers.

Booker can be used as Kobe when he has a convulsion. In his previous life, he played 35 minutes in the second season and scored 22.1 points, 3.2 rebounds and 3.4 assists.

After the draft, Olshey called the three rookies and asked them to prepare for the summer league in Long Beach. Whether to leave or stay depends on the performance of the summer league.

The management put pressure on the three in this way, and they never dared to be lazy.

Yang Rui was not idle either. He had to find another assistant coach. Tyron Lu's assistant coach contract expired and he officially started his career. He was invited by the Cavaliers to be the head coach.

The conflict between James and coach Blatt has been revealed by the media, and the two cannot continue to work together. Although Blatt’s contract has not expired, the Cavaliers management can only cut him, otherwise there will be another moth after the start of next season. , It is difficult to find a strong coach.

Although Tyrone Lu lacks coaching experience, the "Jerry-type" coach has added a lot of points.

Luke Walton was automatically upgraded to the first assistant coach of the team and will lead the team to the summer league.He just needs a defensive coach as an assistant.There is no need to change the Clippers' other internal and external assistants, trainers, etc. Yang Rui has cooperated with them very well.

After reading a few resumes, Yang Rui conducted an interview and chose the old coach Jay Triano, who was born in 1958.

Triano has been an assistant coach for the Raptors for many years, but unfortunately he didn't have the chance to cooperate with Yang Rui. Yang Rui had already left when he went. In the 08-09 season, Triano became the head coach of the Raptors and led the team for two and a half years, with an average record.After that, he was the head coach of the Canadian national team, and he did not get any good results.

His advantage is that he has rich coaching experience, his mind is full of tactics, and he understands both offense and defense.Yang Rui suspects that the reason why he has not been able to lead the team is not because of his lack of ability, but because he has never joined a strong team.

Triano has come to the Clippers to be gilded. He is not reconciled to the end of his career. Even though he is 57 years old this year, he still pursues his career and wants to prove his ability.There is no problem with his body. With a big bald head and glasses, he maintains a good figure and looks energetic. He looks like he is only in his 40s.

After confirming the teaching assistant, Yang Rui took Scarlett Johansson and Shirley and their mother and daughter to China to participate in the "China Tour" activity. The pregnant Nina and Stana stayed in the United States together.

Many Chinese fans and movie fans are eager to interact with Yang Rui at a close distance. As the most legendary figure in basketball at present, he has a high popularity in all countries that like basketball.

In recent years, Yang Rui has invested in the filming of the "Despicable Me" series.He also wants to have a vacation, so he can go back to China to have a look and thank the fans.

At the end of the month, Yang Rui arrived at BJ Capital International Airport by private jet, accepted an interview with the media, and greeted fans in Chinese.Shirley also greeted everyone in Chinese. She learned English and Chinese since she was a child, and now she can speak the two languages ​​fluently, which is easier than learning when she grows up.

After leaving the airport, Yang Rui signed autographs for many fans, and some people were so excited that they wept.Some people asked Scarlett for an autograph. In mid-May, "Avengers 5" was released in China. She came to promote it at that time, and her popularity has not diminished.

During the event at BJ, Yang Rui expressed his willingness to help the development of Chinese basketball and the improvement of the CBA league, and his speech was applauded.

At the Shanghai Railway Station, Yao Ming greeted Yang Rui and participated in the activities together.Yao Ming just announced his retirement recently. His pace has been difficult to keep up with the rhythm of the game. With no hope of winning the championship, he wisely chose to retire bravely.

After signing two big contracts and various advertising endorsements, Yao Ming was not short of money, so he decided to return to China to participate in the construction of basketball.Unlike Yang Rui's previous life, who had been in the NBA before, Yao Ming mainly developed in the United States, and did not become the big boss of the Shanghai team.He would skip the step of being a team owner and go straight to the Basketball Association.

In addition to participating in basketball activities, Yang Rui also took his children to participate in entertainment activities.

The producer of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp and Looking for the Dragon" came to the door and invited Shirley to make a cameo in the movie, playing the childhood image of the heroine Shirley Yang.

Of course, the crew was there to add gimmicks. Since it was the same name, Yang Rui agreed that it was fun.This is a memory scene that can be filmed in one room. It is said that Shirley found out the secret book of tomb raiding when she was a child, and was very interested in this.The director said that when she turned the book, she would add a little special effect, as if releasing some mysterious power.

Yang Rui really wanted to ask if that mysterious power would make my daughter grow wider between her eyebrows, as if she could open her eyes...

After that, every time they went to a city, Scarlett and her daughter could see Yang Rui's international popularity and the power of idols.In China, basketball is too popular. Even though they want to be a professional basketball player, they have high requirements on height and quality. There are still countless people who take this as their goal.

When doing movie promotions, Scarlett was just an ordinary star, but Yang Rui is obviously a product of globalization, and his influence even surpassed that of Jordan, because now is the Internet age, more people pay attention to him.

American media said that he was the most successful example in the history of basketball, the first superstar basketball coach.
