The Cavaliers were given three days off to prepare for the Finals, while the Clippers players had a week off and were physically advantaged.

Bosh came back early from injury, not in the best condition, and the Cavaliers' No. 1 position is just Tony Douglas and Chalmers, both of which happen to have stars in the Clippers and have a dominant lineup.

With a schedule of 232, the Clippers have home-court advantage and occupy the geographical advantage.

Yang Rui believes that the only hope for the Cavaliers to win the championship is that the Clippers players are young, have not played in the Finals, have a problem with their mentality, and cannot play their full strength.

Therefore, Yang Rui said those words to relieve the pressure on the players and make them all believe that the finals will be won. Psychological tactics can also be used on one's own people.

On the next day's holiday, Yang Rui packed a movie, called a group of relatives and friends, bodyguards, housekeepers and other people to watch Marvel's "The Avengers", contributing a little box office to Scarlett Johansson's movie.

When he came out of the cinema, a reporter came forward to interview, Yang Rui thought it was entertainment, and let the bodyguard let him go, but he didn't expect it to be an NBC sports reporter, who asked about Kobe's 2009 playoffs.

"Jerry, someone broke the news that Kobe Bryant was not injured in the 2009 playoffs, but it was because his style of play was too lonely, so you didn't let him enter the top 13 list, and he has been staying at home and pretending to be sick, is it true?"

"Aha?" Yang Rui was stunned for a moment. "Where did this come from?"

The reporter's answer made Yang Rui stunned again, "Kobe's nanny said." ”

There is no impermeable wall in the world, and those things were exposed in 2009. The cause was the "babysitter abuse case" that occurred in Los Angeles last year and caused a sensation in the league.

The Kobens were sued by former nanny Maria Gimenez, who said that she had been repeatedly discriminated against and insulted by Kobe and Vanessa while working at Kobe's house, and that Kobe and his wife, who are billionaires, had broken their promise not to buy health insurance for Gimenez and asked her to do some jobs that ordinary people hate.

In addition, Gimenez said that the Bryant family still owed her wages and used various means to oppress and extract her surplus value. Her lawyer said in a statement that Bryant and Vanessa's course of action had violated multiple provisions of the labor code.

In the end, the two sides opted for an off-court settlement, with Bryant and Vanessa paying $200,000 in damages to their ex-nanny so that Gimenez would not litigate the matter.

Gimenez will not receive the full $200,000 in damages, of which $70,000 will need to be used as attorney's fees, and will not be allowed to mention the matter on any occasion after receiving the $130,000 compensation.

Some things can only have the effect of "covering their ears and stealing the bell", Kobe and Vanessa's abuse of the nanny has been confirmed after they paid compensation, and American netizens have also expressed surprise and emotion about this matter, laughing and generous.

The peak of Komi has been hit hard again, they have been protecting Kobe's character and trying to create an image of a good person for him, but this is as difficult as shaping Xiao Lizi into an innocent man.

Kobe Bryant obviously underestimated his nanny, Gimenez didn't mention the abuse, but was interviewed about Kobe Bryant's 2009 playoffs at home watching the Lakers win, and he went crazy several times. Kobe Bryant jumped three feet high at home, and his head could be flattened, how could he look like he was seriously injured?

Yesterday, a big news NBC reporter secretly interviewed members of the Lakers' medical team, and the management can hide it from the media, but it can't hide it from the team doctor. Kobe Bryant was fine in the regular season, but he was suddenly seriously injured during training, but he didn't let the medical team treat him, how can this not make people suspicious?

The reporter's investigation found that Kobe Bryant did not have a record of finding other doctors, he just stayed at home, and based on the testimony of the nanny, eighty percent of the pretended injuries were real.

Kobe Bryant almost went crazy, the "abuse of the nanny" was nothing compared to the "Eagle County Incident", and the money he lost was less. But once the 2009 playoffs were exposed, no one knows how bad the impact will be and how long it will last.

Misfortune is not alone, and now Kobe and Vanessa are still getting divorced.

With Kobe Bryant's wave after wave of affair scandals, both seem to be tired of this process of forgiveness, exposure, forgiveness, and reexposure. Vanessa has publicly stated that she will not be with Kobe; And Kobe himself admitted that after the distribution of property, the two will not maintain a husband and wife relationship, but only maintain a friend relationship.

The two have not signed a divorce agreement for two reasons, one is that she is unwilling to let the child leave her father for the sake of the child; The second is that there is still no agreement on the distribution of property between the two sides, and to put it bluntly, the money that Kobe Bryant gave to Vanessa has not yet met expectations.

Yang Rui has too many entertainment projects at home, and he has reduced the number of Internet visits, so he doesn't pay much attention to these news. He reacted quickly, knowing that he couldn't fall into the trap at this point.

"I've long since left the Lakers, and I'm not going to comment on anything about the Lakers unless we meet in the playoffs. All I care about right now is the Finals, and I just hope the Clippers win the championship. ”

Yang Rui diverted the topic, and the female reporter asked: "You didn't arrange training today, but you came to watch the movie because you were confident of winning the championship?" ”

"Yes, the players have to play their best games by combining work and rest, we don't take the opponent lightly, today the players relax, tomorrow we will train and practice tactics against the weaknesses of the Cavaliers."

Yang Rui led the topic to the Clippers and avoided talking about Kobe, the reporter had no choice, if he asked hard, the result could only be unhappy. The finals are coming soon, and he has no reason to pay attention to other people's affairs.

When he got home, Yang Rui asked Thomas: "Facebook didn't report Kobe Bryant's news, right?" ”

Thomas shook his head: "No, it's me who doesn't let them pay attention, Jerebus must not live long, we need to avoid suspicion at this time." Journalists love, and I don't want to see a radio station say we're him off in the future. ”

"That's right, the Lakers have been mentioned little or nothing lately, and they don't pose a threat to the Clippers."

Yang Rui's idea is also to avoid suspicion and try not to get involved in the chaotic vortex of the Lakers, which means nothing to them. Competing with the Lakers for the Los Angeles market, the Clippers have the upper hand.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the old Bass died in February 13, and there were really unscrupulous media who said that the poor performance of the Lakers F4 angered Buss. If you talk too much about Facebook News, it will affect your image.

The Lakers' summer lineup change is inevitable, and Love and Rohr Deng both said that they must leave with a tough attitude; Nash and Jeremy Lin are free agents and are reluctant to renew their contracts with the Lakers.

Next season, the Lakers' No. 1 position may fall into the dilemma of no one available, and their strength will continue to decline, how to compete with the Clippers?

Moreover, there are no big-name stars willing to partner with Kobe Bryant at all, and it is a question of whether "Warcraft" Howard will join.

In just three years, the Lakers have fallen to this point, and the aggravation of old Buss's condition is indeed directly related to this.

Yang Rui and Thomas's plan is to buy the Clippers, and until they succeed, they have to create a good image of the boss, and they hide far away during labor negotiations, and Yang Rui always interacts with the players in the team and stands aside with the players.

In addition to coaching, he often invites players to dinner and cares about their lives.

If the Clippers win the championship this time, in addition to the team party and the Los Angeles championship parade, Yang Rui also plans to invite the players to have a good time at his own expense and give them additional benefits, such as everyone going to sea on the "Tranquility" together, which is a treatment that no other championship team has had.

If the media finally finds out the truth that Kobe Bryant was hidden in the playoffs, it is their ability, as long as Yang Rui does not admit it, even if he saves face for Kobe, fans will not say that he is careful.
