In July and August, the media was talking about the Lakers and Cavaliers, believing that they were the favorites to win the championship next season.

The Lakers also signed veterans Rutlleaf, Joe Smith, Matt Barnes, and Derrick Fisher, and extended the contract of Shannon Brown, who is incredibly physical, to strengthen the inside and outside lineup.

But after the World Championships, it was all news about the Clippers, and Yang Rui and Griffin stole the limelight from everyone.

Griffin's "beast" power forward is too fan-attracting, fans are looking forward to his cooperation with Paul in the new season, Jordan Jr. and Guy are also players who are good at dunking, and they will play very beautifully.

Yang Rui is the darling of the media, frequently appearing in sports news and entertainment news, more and more people are discussing Yang Rui's success in the entertainment industry, and every movie he invests in is a big profit.

"Twilight: Lunar Eclipse" was released at the end of June, the box office has dropped from the previous film, and the global release has exceeded $400 million, and the film's 4,468 releases surpassed "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" (4,455) to become the first in film history.

The box office of Twilight 3 is more than 100 million higher than Yang Rui's previous life, because they did not face "Despicable Me", both are produced by Echo Company, and the release time is staggered, and at the end of July, "Despicable Me" took over Twilight 3, which lacked stamina.

Facebook's symbol "Minions" has finally made it to the big screen.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the Minions were not the selling point of the movie at the beginning, they were unexpectedly popular, and they even gave the Minions the English name "lackey".

Now, although the protagonist of the movie is Gru, who claims to be the most feared superbastard in the world, the charm of the Minions is significantly greater, and young people go to the cinema mostly to see the Minions.

There are some adaptations of the plot of the movie, the Minions are male and female, there is no difference in figure, but there is a difference in hairstyle.

The most scenes are played by Bentley, Young, Nina, and Scarlett, who lead the Minion Legion and work with Gru to plan the craziest heist in the entire history of mankind to steal the moon.

After the movie was released, word of mouth exploded, the plot was interesting, the little girl was cute, the Minions were funny, and everything was blown up at the box office.

The North American box office soon surpassed 300 million, and the overseas box office was even crazier than North America, exceeding 700 million.

All netizens in the world know about Minions and don't need publicity at all, so the box office is much more terrifying than Yang Rui's previous life.

In September, "Despicable Me" surpassed the 2006 film "Pirates of the Caribbean 2" with a global box office score of $1.08 billion, ranking fourth in the all-time gross. In front of them are only "Avatar", "Titanic", and "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King".

At the same time as the box office exploded, the stock price of Facebook soared all the way, and Yang Rui's net worth rose sharply, to the point of terror.

Yang Rui made headlines in entertainment news, and after returning to China, he was interviewed by the entertainment channel and was dubbed the "father of the Minions".

In mid-September, LeBron James made a shocking declaration in an interview to increase his presence: "What I'm going to win for the Cavaliers is not a championship, not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven championships." ”

The implication is that he wants to lead the Cavaliers to at least eight championships, surpassing Kobe, surpassing Jordan, surpassing everything, Macross Fortress, Wade and Bosh are his wings!

Cavaliers fans are close to madness, Yang Rui only felt funny after watching the news, and I don't know how James will retract these words in the future.

Of course, he is likely to live up to that promise, because once the Clippers are going well, the Cavaliers will have a hard time getting a championship.

A reporter asked James to comment on the Clippers, saying: "Jerry Young is a great coach, he has won a lot of accolades, but I don't believe he can lead the Clippers to beat the Cavaliers. ”

The reporter also spoke to Spurs coach Popovich, who won the Coach of the Year award last season and led the team to a championship.

"Jerry Young should be able to lead the Clippers to the playoffs, I don't know how far exactly, I think the Clippers need to poach a big star next year to have a chance to rise," Popovich said. Now they don't have a strong squad, even with Paul. ”

David Stern follows NBA news, expects a tough competition between the Clippers and Lakers, and prepares to schedule the opening game Clippers vs Cavaliers, how strong these two rebuilding teams are, everyone wants to know.

On Sept. 26, the Clippers held a media day, which used to be deserted and unnoticed. This time, the number of reporters covering the Clippers has skyrocketed, and while it hasn't overtaken the Lakers, it's a good start.

Yang Rui arrived at the venue in a white casual suit, greeted the players, and was surrounded by reporters for interviews.

He announced the core candidates for the new season, and the four of them took core makeup photos. Paul, Curry, Guy, Griffin.

Dunleavy was excluded, and as soon as the old Dunleavy left, the status of the "prince" immediately declined. Yang Rui didn't trade him away because he couldn't get back to a strongman, and instead of looking for a long-term role player with average strength, it was better to use a season and wait for the contract to expire to free up salary space.

Many people were surprised, including Guy himself, who was a role player during his time with the Cavaliers and was never taken seriously. When he joined the Clippers, he couldn't meet Yang Rui, and the two never communicated, but now Yang Rui has him as the core.

Guy's excitement burned out, and he vowed to take his chance.

After taking the photo, the reporter focused on asking Yang Rui how he was going to use Guy.

Yang Rui replied: "Rudy Gay has a lot of physicality, and I think if he is trained properly, he can play on both ends of the floor and become the type of player Iguodala is." He can cut in the field, catch and shoot, rush forward and go heads-up on the counterattack, etc., and he has the potential to be an All-Star. ”

The reporter asked: "Guy didn't play in four years with the Cavaliers, what do you think is the reason?" ”

"Overlapping with James, the Cavaliers needed a three-point shooter, and the coach didn't play to his strengths."

The reporter asked: "How are you going to divide the playing time of Curry and Paul in the new season?" They are both point guards. ”

"Curry comes off the bench, and I'm going to play two guards at some point, and that's going to depend on the opponent's lineup."

The reporter asked: "Will the Clippers play offensive basketball in the new season?" ”

"Of course, have I ever been defensive? I love the way the Raptors played, the fans called us the Dragons, and now, I want to turn Los Angeles into an empty city. ”

Yang Rui directly put forward the concept of "empty city" and won the "naming right". If he doesn't say it now, there will be fans who will come up with this name in the future.

The reporter asked: "Are you so confident because you are optimistic about Paul's organizational skills?" ”

"Of course, I've always been a star, even Yao Ming, before I traded him to the Lakers, he didn't play at star level. Chris is the only instant star I've named to poach. Before I coached him, he was already known as the No. 1 point guard. ”

Everyone thought about it and found that Yang Ruizhen had never poached a big-name star, even if it was a group of free people such as James and Wade in the summer, he did not take the initiative to invite him.

This is big news, and the people who can be favored by Yang Rui have extraordinary achievements.

Immediately, a reporter asked, "What heights do you think Paul can reach?" ”

"MVP, maybe after this season, he can win the regular season MVP, as long as he executes the game seriously. He's the most crucial part of the Clippers, who have just finished rebuilding and have a lot of new players and need time to get used to. Paul's performance will determine how quickly we can run in and how fast we finish in the regular season. ”
