Chapter 599 [Playing the Emotional Card, Transcendent Status]
The second-round draft and Yang Rui's previous life have not changed much, and whoever the team likes can be exchanged for draft picks or directly traded rookies in advance to get it, without much cost.
Second-round rookies basically have no human rights in the NBA, and they must buy water and shoes for the original team boss in the first year, and high-pick rookies may be an exception, they are absolutely impossible. Financially, they are also "discriminated against" and can only sign a basic salary contract for a maximum of three years, and at worst they can sign a non-guaranteed contract, that is, they can be fired at any time.
The Timberwolves selected point guard Mario Chalmers, the NCAA Final Four MOP, but fell to the second round because of the poor side, age, and lack of potential to dig into.
The Clippers drafted DeAndre Jordan, who set the record for the longest wait in a green house.
Now Little Jordan can only run and jump, easy to eat and shake on the defensive end, poor single defense, no skills on the offensive end, no shooting, except for dunks, he may not score under the basket, and he can make three free throws.
In the future, Jordan Jr. will make great progress, he can resist people in single defense, block in assistive defense, and have super rebounding ability...... However, he skyrocketed his free-throw percentage from 30 percent to 40 percent and shot just a few no-hits in a season.
The Trail Blazers selected Omir Asik in the second round, a decent big man with a bad offense, who can defend and grab rebounds, and will not join the NBA for the time being.
The Lakers traded out all of their low-pick picks in previous years, but this time they didn't, and selected Turkish center Semi Elden with the 59th pick.
SEMI IS 213CM TALL AND WEIGHS 109 KILOGRAMS, SO HE CAN'T JOIN THE NBA RIGHT AWAY, AND IF HE PLAYS WELL IN EUROPE, HE CAN CONSIDER SIGNING IN THE FUTURE, AND TRADING THE SIGNING RIGHTS CAN ALSO GET SOME MONEY BACK.
After the draft, Yang Rui received a call from Lakers owner Jerry Buss asking him to get together at home.
Old Bass will take the time to invite Yang Rui to his home every year, eat and play cards, and contact feelings. He has been shrewd all his life, and he knows that he can't tie Yang Rui with money, and if he wants to continue to play for the Lakers, he must play the emotional card.
It's a pity that only the old Bass is not strong enough, and Kobe's EQ is more than a notch lower. has been working together for four years, and Yang Rui doesn't know where Kobe's family is.
Kobe Bryant doesn't throw parties, doesn't invite teammates to play at home, and he has only a handful of friends. He wasn't bad, and his teammates respected him, but he was a misfit.
Moreover, Yang Rui knows that Kobe Bryant has swelled after three consecutive championships, he wants to surpass Jordan, and wants to be the protagonist on the court forever, and when his strength declines, it will be difficult for you to change his mind, and then you will be in a dilemma.
It would be very inhuman to send Kobe Bryant away further, Kobe Bryant has played here for 12 years and is a symbol of the Lakers, just like the Spurs won't send Duncan away, and the Mavericks won't send Nowitzki away.
Take a step back and continue to play with Kobe, find him a suitable helper, the key to winning the game is his teammates, but the credit is Kobe's, and you have to listen to the shouts of the brain-disabled secrets, who can stand it?
Old Bass said nothing, Yang Rui will leave next year, and fulfilling the five-year contract is benevolent and righteous.
came to visit, and Yang Rui called Scarlett, Steana, and Nina.
Because we are a family, a family that loves each other.
Although I often look at each other unpleasantly, and I tear my hair a few times, but this day can still be lived, and Stana at least doesn't beat Nina and zombies......
Old Bass was used to this kind of thing. He was a well-known playboy, two marriages, an extramarital affair, and three women bore him 7 children. What's even more outrageous is that he probably has more than 100 young lovers, and he also has a habit of making a photo album of photos of every girl he has dated.
Old Bass loves photography, and the difference between him and Guanxi is that there is a special person to repair the computer, so it didn't break out***.
In this small gathering, the Bass family did not talk about basketball, and talked about Hollywood.
Yang Rui thinks that Old Bass is really scheming, he wants the third daughter to go back to blow the pillow wind to him, if he wants to have no problems in life, the best choice is to stay in Los Angeles, who made his three confidantes actors?
However, Oakland and Sacramento are very close to Los Angeles, and there are Clippers in the same city, so Yang Rui has a choice.
Before leaving, the old Bass tested Yang Rui's tone and said that as long as he was willing to renew his contract, he could give him shares in the Lakers.
It looks sincere, and only people who have contributed significantly to the Lakers get this treatment, and in NBA rules, NBA head coaches are allowed to own a stake in the team.
But in fact, Yang Rui's contract renewal is earned by the Bass family, Yang Rui is not simply a basketball coach, he is also a major shareholder of Facebook. If he wants to invest, many people are willing to give him shares, and he is a person who only pays dividends, doesn't care about company affairs, and does not point fingers and has no ambitions, which is very popular from a certain point of view.
He is a minority shareholder of the Lakers, and the team is still owned by the Bass family, just giving him some money, but he is not short of money at all.
Yang Rui said that I would consider it, but I didn't agree, I didn't refuse, and I will talk about it after this year. It's also annoying if there are always people who come to persuade them to play the emotional card all year round, and he doesn't owe the Lakers anything.
The next day, Yang Rui went to the national team to report, and officially started training on the 29th. The Beijing Olympics will open on August 8, and the players of the Dream Eight team have a month to run in and find their form.
According to the American media, their best players are dispatched, and they are basically the stars of the year of playing. In the 2006 World Championships, the stars of the 03 class only had three years of NBA experience, although the data was beautiful, but the handling of key balls was poor, and this year's lineup was more reasonable.
The Dream Seven team had five inside players at that time, and Lao K thought that the inside line was very important, but he lost to the Greek team's high block. This time, Yang Rui's idea was to give full play to his speed and physical advantages, and he didn't want a few big men.
In the playoffs last season, the Lakers let people see the speed of the game, Odom, Millsap, Hayes, and Landry have no height on the inside, and they don't suffer on both offensive and defensive ends.
The Mengba team's offense is definitely much stronger than that of the Lakers, and Yang Rui feels that he can win without serious defense.
U.S. Basketball Association President Colangelo also helped Yang Rui, and after he took office, he asked the players to sign contracts with the national team, at least for three years, not as before, they can quit at will, starting in 2006.
In the 2004 Olympics, because of rumors of terrorist attacks, American stars were reluctant to play, and the players sent were equivalent to the second team, so it was much more difficult to win.
The training method of the U.S. team is still to train by competition, and the basketball association has found a group of young and potential players in the NBA to play against the stars, and by the way, train young people.
The sparring lineup is equally luxurious, with Aldridge, Al Jefferson, David Lee, Jeff Green and others on the inside, and the Lakers' Brooks and Louis Williams are selected.
As soon as Yang Rui arrived, many players were close to him and spoke very politely.
They come from different teams, but everyone knows that Yang Rui's contract expires next season, and some people want to be favored by Yang Rui, and if he goes to coach, the chances of winning the championship will be greatly increased.
Young players are eager to be guided by Yang Rui and find the right path to development.
There are also players like Billups and Stoudamire who have worked with Yang Rui to chat with him, but unfortunately they can only complain, and the chance of cooperation is very small, they all have big contracts and rebodies, unless the stars are exchanged.
The Dream Team's repeated defeats in the international arena have inspired the stars to have a great sense of national pride, and they all said that they would follow the arrangement, and the assistant coaches are D'Antoni of the Acquaintances Suns and Thibodeau of the Bulls, which makes Yang Rui's status transcendent.
