NBA's strongest prince

Chapter 10
After a few days of chic in Los Angeles, Russell reluctantly bid farewell to the beauty and returned to Phoenix.

He doesn't need to worry too much about the team's affairs for the time being, because he has to train when he comes back so soon.

It is enough to relax for a few days, and the private trainer hired at a big price cannot be wasted. At the end of this summer, he will definitely surprise the NBA.

He has two focuses in training now, one is passing the ball and the other is three-pointers.

Russell's passing ability is more and more compatible with incredible passing skills, and the three-pointer is also continuing to improve.

He comes from the small ball era, and he attaches great importance to three-pointers. He has been practicing hard for the past two years, and now he has professional guidance. Naturally, he has perfected the details and improved to a higher level.

Not to mention better than the big shooters in the league, the average level is definitely no problem, and it is the average level among guards.

The current players don't have Russell's advanced awareness, and they don't pay much attention to three-pointers.

After returning for a while, there was good news from Nora. Elena Percy was still a little bit smart, and Russell finally saw some familiar movie titles.

It's a pity that there is no Wedding Crashers, which he most hopes to invest in. Basically, the movies he invests in now will not be released until next year. Among the films next year, Wedding Crashers is undoubtedly the most worthy of investment.

While the movie wasn't a box office champ, comedies were made for less and certainly paid off the most.

However, because the production cost is low, it is too late to invest now.

In addition, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, who Russell likes, did not catch up. The big director and the star are not worried that no one will invest money.

The World War is similar. For a director like Spielberg, the production cost of more than 1 million yuan is nothing.

Russell’s impressions of Star Wars 6, Harry Potter 4, and Batman 5 have nothing to do with rookies like them, and the two cartoons Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Madagascar that he thought were possible before did not get on the car.

It is indeed a bit late for them to make a move now, and Russell doesn't care too much. When they enter this circle, there will be many investment opportunities.

However, there are two big productions that I didn't think had much chance before, but it was a bit of a surprise.

One is The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, and Andrew Adamson's Shrek 2 hit only a few months ago.

One is the big IP King Kong, and director Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings is also a hit.

These two are large companies that want to share risks and give a part of the investment share.

The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe is because the director changed from animation to live-action fantasy, which is still a bit risky, and King Kong is because of the remake. It is hard to say about the remake.

The point is that the investment in both films is huge, about [-] million yuan, especially for King Kong, which should exceed that.

If Russell and the others want to join, they won't get much share, not all of it, but this is a stepping stone.

As for the influence of the two films, Russell can't remember the specific situation, but he generally knows it well.

He remembered that there was a sequel to The Chronicles of Narnia, and the production cost would be less, so he suggested that Nora should get in the car of The Chronicles of Narnia.

Nora agreed with Russell's judgment, and the two invested 900 million together in the name of their respective companies.

The specific operation Russell asked Harris to go to Los Angeles to contact Nora's company.

A small test is a few million dollars. The rich second generation is so self-willed. If you start from nothing, you can only rack your brains to pay attention to the small cost.

In September, the Suns staff is ready to start training camp.

Russell's plan is a little earlier than in previous years. The Suns team has changed a lot, and everyone needs to adapt.

The summer league team that has already ended is playing well, and Tom Thibodeau is also very serious about scouting players.

However, Russell didn't pay much attention. He just praised the coaches and players directly. Anyway, he would not refer to the performance of the players in the summer league.

Well, it was he who suggested that the coach employ people, and D'Antoni will definitely agree with his judgment then.

Before training camp started, Russell organized a small party.

In fact, it was Nora who set up the team. When the two communicated before, Russell mentioned several times that it was a pity that the Wedding Crashers didn't get in the car. Unexpectedly, Nora had been following the crew all the time, and even met the actress Rachel McAdams.

Nora invited Rachel this time, as well as some starlets brought by Elena Percy, and Russell brought some players by the way, mainly to comfort Stoudemire and Marion who were injured in the Olympics mind.

Plus Joe Johnson, Iguodala and Barbosa who will be reused next season.

Barbosa is still a little flattered. Iguodala is the owner's teammate, and the other three are bosses. Does he also have to be reused and become the boss of the team?

"Everyone have fun today."

When the guys saw that the Hollywood female stars were turning into pig brothers, Russell immediately abandoned them and went to have a private conversation with Nora.

"Russell, you are such a nice fellow."

Stoudemire has now completely forgotten the unhappy experience of the national team, and is very happy to perform raps for those little stars.

The area around Marion's sunglasses was also involved.

He also said goodbye, although he is ugly, but the athlete's figure is not annoying at all.

Joe Johnson couldn't play together and was relatively quiet, while Barbosa was less open.

But they are also very happy. Just because the team renews his contract in advance, Joe Johnson, who doesn't worry about his future life, is in a good mood this summer.

And Iguodala was dressed like a dog, and went to learn from the investors at the party.

Iguodala, who has now paid attention to Wall Street, is out of tune with other black people.

After learning about film and television investment, he felt that the risk was relatively high and it did not meet his expectations.

However, he still seriously communicated with professionals. Russell felt that he would probably become a rich man if he didn't play.

It was just a party, and there was not much money for air tickets, but it brought the relationship between the main players of the team and Russell closer, and Russell thought it was a good deal.

The Suns training camp officially started in late September. They had no old players who were unwell, and the people came very neatly.

Russell publicly announced the first thing in the new season, and that was to go to their house for a barbecue.

All the players, including the coaching staff, were involved. Everyone was excited, and the nervousness of the rookie disappeared.

Good ingredients, professional chefs, the Russell's barbecue party is professional.

"Everyone, next season, let's let the team take off in Phoenix!" Russell raised his red wine glass.

"take off!"

"We're going to the playoffs!"

"champion!"

Everyone is excited. Before, some players felt that the new boss was unreliable, but now they all think that having a young boss seems very good.

Russell also gave everyone a set of brand-name suits, and the favorability of each person rose steadily.

You may not realize that Russell is a player.

In the makeup photo of the Suns, Russell, Iguodala, Joe Johnson, Marion and Stoudemire are in the same frame.
