Chapter 878 [The latest lineup, super dad]

James left the Cavaliers and received the same courtesy as Garnett, the "Wolf King". No one burned his jersey. Most of the Cleveland fans sent blessings, hoping that he can also win the championship like Garnett did.

Many media compared James to Garnett, and he was not happy, because this way of leaving means that his career with the Cavaliers ended in failure.In the eyes of experts, media and fans, he is a tragic hero.

Becoming a tragic hero is not James' goal.He has been wearing No. 23 since his sophomore year of high school.No. 23 was chosen because he wanted to be Jordan, or even surpass Jordan.

He also publicly proposed that NBA teams should retire all No. 23s to show respect and respect for Jordan.Of course, his proposal did not get many people's approval.

Not tragic enough, Durant left the Thunder, and his No. 35 jersey became the most tragic jersey in history.

As soon as the news of Durant signing with the Wizards came out, Oklahoma City fans were plunged into disappointment, anger and frustration.Many fans posted videos and photos on social platforms, discarded and burned Durant's jersey, and the most awesome one was shooting the jersey with a machine gun...

Durant said: "They said I was weak, but I was the opposite. There were many times when I could have given up, but I didn't, I chose to move on. Now, when I am at the peak of my career and choose to go to another How does it become cowardice to play on one team? When you make a decision that makes people uncomfortable, they try to destroy you.”

Without anyone paying attention, the Clippers completed their reinforcements and signed two rookies, Brogdon and Zhou Qi.

Brogdon performed well in the Summer League, averaging 32 points, 14.4 rebounds and 3.2 assists in 4.3 minutes per game.

Zhou Qi played badly. He averaged 25 points, 6.7 rebounds and 4.5 blocks per game. His shooting percentage was only a dismal 2%. He made a total of 30.3 three-pointers and only scored 22, which was terrible.

Zhou Qi is playing strictly according to the tactics, but unfortunately his shots are not accurate, everything is in vain.His confrontation ability is also not good, the card position is poor, the only bright spot is to block shots by his height and wingspan, which is obviously not enough.

There are two star centers in the Clippers. Zhou Qi will definitely not be able to play the game. He has a lot of time to exercise and improve.When the new season starts, Yang Rui plans to send him to the D-League to play more games, and many skills do not need to be practiced, that is, catch and roll after the pick-and-roll and pass the ball.

In the free market, the Clippers extended the contract of power forward David West with a one-year salary, and the veteran still wants to win more championships.

The Clippers signed forward Luke Baamut for $450 million over two years.

Baamot is 203cm tall and weighs 104kg. Born in Cameroon, he is the son of a local chief, so he is called "Prince of Cameroon" by many fans.

Baa Motte was selected by the Bucks with the 2008th overall pick in the second round of the 37 draft, and his career has gone through many teams.Due to his poor offense and poor statistics, he couldn't get a big contract and averaged only 3.5 points and 2.3 rebounds per game last season.

But Baa Motte's defensive ability is very good, and the help to the team's defensive end cannot be measured by statistics, so he can always find a job. He has played in the NBA for 7 years and is currently 30 years old. He is in his prime.

The Clippers' last spot went to veteran big man David Lee, who signed a two-year, $320 million contract.

David Lee is a strong man. He signed a long-term contract with a high salary. He played in a total of 750 regular season games. In 31.6 minutes of playing time per game, he handed over a transcript of 14.8 points, 9.2 rebounds and 2.6 assists.He averaged 7.8 points, 5.5 rebounds and 1.5 assists per game with the Celtics last season while shooting 53.1 percent from the field.

His offensive skills are comprehensive and gorgeous. He can shoot with both hands, has range, has flexible feet, dribbles well, has excellent vision, and has excellent passing awareness.His performance on the defensive end was terrible, but he was able to rely on a positive attitude and grab a lot of rebounds, making him a famous double-double machine in the league.

In addition, his character is kind and good-looking, and he is very popular among female fans.

However, David Lee has only played in the playoffs once in his career, and he has been criticized for preventing pick-and-rolls and leaking tricks.

For the salary cut, David Lee has no pressure, because his family is rich and wealthy, and playing basketball is just a hobby.

It is said that his father owns thirteen fast food chains and more than a dozen supermarket chains; his grandfather is a famous entrepreneur and philanthropist in St. Louis, who donated more than 7000 million in his lifetime, a standard business tycoon; his grandfather is even more generous, donating casually The amount is 9000 million, and I personally fund the construction of zoos and forest parks in the local area, just because I like lions and jaguars.With such a wealthy family, David Lee is quite low-key and is rated as the most low-key second-generation rich in the NBA.

The only pressure for 33-year-old David Lee is that he has not yet won the championship ring. He does not want to retire early before reaching the top and go home to inherit billions of wealth.

In mid-July, the Clippers' 7 players for the new season were confirmed.

Centers: Hassan Whiteside, Nikola Jokic, Zhou Qi.

Power forwards: Draymond Green, David West, David Lee.

Small forwards: Giannis Antetokounmpo, Robert Covington, Luke Baamut.

Shooting guards: Danny Green, Norman Powell, Devin Booker.

Point guards: Stephen Curry, Zach LaVine, Malcolm Brogdon.

Although many people believe that the Wizards and Mavericks have the strength to threaten the Clippers, Yang Rui firmly believes that the depth of the Clippers' lineup is still the first in the league.Compared with the starting team, other teams may be able to compete with them, but it is definitely not as good as the substitute.

The Clippers will have a total salary of 9180 million next season, which still does not reach the salary cap of 9400 million. In the future, they can also maintain the depth of the lineup and renew outstanding young players.

Many teams have a total salary of more than 55 million, but no team pays the luxury tax.In Yang Rui's previous life, after the salary cap soared, only the Cavaliers paid the luxury tax, and the difference in total salary was 3000 to [-] million.The Cavaliers have no championship in this life, and the boss doesn't want to throw any more money.

After getting the lineup, Yang Rui didn't go anywhere during the holiday, and became a super dad at home because he had 5 children, but his girlfriend was not there.

Scarlett was not idle after filming "Captain America 3", and went to dub Ashe the porcupine in "The Voice of Joy". This film is also invested by Facebook. After filming Minions, they have experience in making animated films Rich.

Stana Katic went to Resident Evil 6 and continued to work with Jenson Akers.Ax's life has completely changed. He has established a firm foothold in Hollywood. Although the box office is average except for the biochemical series, he can always find a job and make it to the big screen.Because of this, he did not make the TV series "Supernatural", which was cut after only 7 seasons.

This is the last part of Resident Evil, and the heroine will be changed in the future. Stana took it very seriously, with a beginning and an end.

Nina filmed "Shark Shore" and went to the beach to fight sharks. The responsibility of looking after the children fell on Yang Rui's shoulders, and she couldn't leave it to the nanny all day.

This year, my friend Leonardo became Jake Nicholson, Thomas Bentley became Star-Lord before losing weight, and Yang Rui lost nearly 10 pounds after the holiday. Good men are too tired to live.

Shirley is overweight, and Yang Rui wants to take her as much as possible to avoid affecting her health.It is obviously unrealistic to raise an Erha to run with Shirley, Yang Rui can only teach her to swim, ride a baby bike, etc.

He coaxes the children during the day, and at night has to tell bedtime stories to the children. The most troublesome is Lucas, who is too young to understand anything, crying and making trouble.

Until the end of September, when the new season is finally about to start, Yang Rui has a reasonable reason to leave home.
