Chapter 867 [The Last Straw That Broke the Camel's Burden]
In August, all the "big fish" were settled, Rudy Gay joined the Celtics for 80 million in 5 years, called Yang Rui to thank him, and waiting for a year was the right choice.
There was big news in Los Angeles that Justin Bieber was cleaned up by Yang Rui's good buddy Thomas Bentley.
That scene was really, a group of bodyguards whose combat effectiveness was comparable to that of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents swarmed up, and it was like the Shaolin Eighteen Bronze People beating Stephen Zhou, offending no one could offend the cautious abbot...... No, it's Thomas.
There was violence, but netizens applauded it together, because Bieber is a bad boy with all kinds of poisons, which is very annoying.
Last year, there were photos of him on the Internet, with millions of hits in a single day, and many netizens said: I just want to see him beaten.
At that time, it was revealed that he was beaten at Starbucks, because the barista thought that he was out of style without a top, and the two sides had a quarrel, so that the NBA Clippers star Griffin, who was waiting for coffee, couldn't stand it and punched him several times.
It's just fake news, Bieber is a singer after all, and he usually goes out with bodyguards, and ordinary people can't get close to him. This time, the bodyguards couldn't save him.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Bieber was beaten by Orlando Bloom, and in this life, Miranda Kerr gave birth to a son to Thomas, and Bieber didn't dare to mention her name at all. But unfortunately, Bieber and Thomas are both supermodel killers, and when Bieber brags about which supermodel he slept with, it just so happens that the person is also related to Thomas.
The red face is ruined, this is true. Offending Thomas is not a trivial matter, Bieber will not only be beaten, but his career will inevitably suffer a serious blow, and eighty percent will kneel.
In the past, this product has drunk drag racing, drug abuse, throwing eggs at neighbors' houses, visiting grandmothers naked, guitar covering nakedness and other bad behaviors, but it still has many fans and is also very well-known in China.
Fans know him for his drug use, his penchant for showing his pants, and his fight for ten girls overnight, but he's a good boy.
Now, Chinese netizens are annoyed with him, feeling that he deserves to be beaten because he went nervously to visit the Yasukuni Shrine in Japan in 2014. Note that he did not enter the Chinese toilet with the same name, but the real Yasukuni Shrine, and posted the photo on the Internet.
So, Yang Rui also responded, supported his friends on the Internet, and gave him a thumbs up - good play!
Yang Rui is also frequently featured in China news. He is willing to sponsor the Chinese Basketball Association to send young players to play in the United States, join the Clippers' affiliated team "Facebook Minions" to participate in NBDL games, and is also willing to sponsor the Chinese youth team to form a team to participate in the summer league.
The quality of these two events is only higher than that of China's CBA, and young players can definitely learn if they come.
In this way, the Minions also have enough gimmicks to entice fans to watch. The coach is a staff member appointed by the Clippers, and as long as Yang Rui mentions it, the Chinese players are easy to be taken care of, get a certain amount of ball possession, and have a training effect.
The Chinese men's basketball team did not even enter the 14 World Championships, and its strength has declined significantly. Don't look at the CBA league is very popular, but it can't cultivate good young local players.
Today's CBA has become the world's most money-burning basketball league outside the NBA, and some NBA fringe players would rather give up their status as active NBA players and travel across the ocean to China to make a lot of money.
The influx of more and more high-level foreign aid has indeed enhanced the enjoyment of the CBA, increased the international influence of the CBA, and also met the spiritual needs of fans. But the increasing reliance on foreign aid has reduced opportunities for Chinese players. Domestic players who don't get enough training in the league and can't take on more responsibilities naturally don't perform well in the international arena.
Has foreign aid affected the development of the Chinese men's basketball team? Of course, it can't be understood that way. Foreign aid brings a lot of good things, not only for the market, their ability and technology are worth learning from Chinese players, but if foreign aid is withdrawn, what will be left behind, this is something that needs to be considered.
In the final analysis, Chinese basketball should stick to its own path, and Yang Rui pointed out a win-win path for them. China needs outstanding young players, and Yang Rui needs gimmicks to make himself more famous, more legendary, and to do something for China. He doesn't care how much he spends, he just does charity.
If there are Chinese young people who play well, the Clippers sign into the team, and being a marginal person can attract Chinese fans, but if there is no now, it does not mean that there will be no in the future.
The Clippers player who made a big splash this month was Devin Booker, who wanted to be reused for the new season, so he went to the Drew League in Los Angeles to practice his skills and show himself.
The Drew League was created in 1973 and didn't really gain massive public attention until 2011. That year, the NBA was shut down, and a group of NBA stars chose to participate in the Drew League and did amazingly. The successive visits of Kobe, Durant, and James detonated social networks, and the scene was constantly surrounded.
This year, retired star Byron Davis also co-directed a Drew League documentary about Harden and Kobe Bryant's exciting matchup in the Drew League.
On August 10, the Drew League came to an end, and James Harden was crowned the champion of the semi-amateur league, and on the night of the final, he blasted a game-high 37 points, 4 rebounds and 5 assists to lead the LAUNFD team to the 2015 championship.
Booker played as Harden's outside partner in this game, and also scored 26 points and 3 assists.
The opposite MHP team also had stars, with Pistons wing DeRozan scoring 28 points and Lakers swingman Nick Young scoring 25 points.
Facing Nick Young, who likes to go heads-up, Booker was completely unafraid and had a number of gorgeous offenses, which left a deep impression.
Yang Rui called to congratulate Booker, added his Minion, and told him to practice more three-point shooting and be more optimistic about him.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Booker often lost high-scoring games for the Suns, so many people said that he was a data brush. In fact, he is really powerful, but the Suns lineup is too bad, and many players in those years are unrecognizable.
A player who scores 40 points in a game can be brushed, and a player who scores 70 points in a game is simply impossible to do without comprehensive skills.
You know, LeBron James's highest single-game score is 61 points, Iverson 60 points, Maddy 62 points, Anthony 62 points, and Wade only has 55 points, and the last person who can score 70+ in BA is Kobe, and it has been almost 10 years.
If you score more than 60 points in a single game, it is a super offensive killer, and there are very few people who can do it; Up to 70 points, there are only Wilt Chamberlain, Elgin Baylor, David Robinson, David Thompson, Kobe Bryant, and no Michael Jordan in history so far.
Booker has skills, can shoot, and it just so happens that he is also the No. 13 rookie and a shooting guard, which seems to be secretly in line with the meaning of inheritance. He didn't play a single regular season game, and the Los Angeles media boasted that he was about to become a household name in Angel City.
After watching the news, Yang Rui felt a little sorry for Booker, because there were too many strong people on the outside of the team, Booker had to start from the bench first, and he had to spend more time honing his defense, otherwise he wouldn't have a lot of playing time.
Booker was touted, the Clippers were under a lot of pressure from the outside, and Allen Crabbe couldn't stand it anymore and contacted management with his agent to request a trade for a team that could play.
For two years in a row, he has averaged about 6 minutes per game, not to mention Crabbe, even Milicic is useless. With two new shooting guards, Crabbe suspects he'll be pushed to the small forward position, which will be even more uncomfortable next season.
Crabbe is indeed not suitable to be a small forward, and there is no chance to stay in the Clippers, so after Yang Rui considered it, he notified Orsie to make a trade.
Two days later, Olch sent Crabbe to the Pelicans in exchange for a second-round pick, and he was worth that price for two years in a row without stats.
