Chapter 652 [Media Darling, City of Alley-Oops]

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

The Lakers also signed veterans Ratliff, Joe Smith, Matt Barnes, and Derek Fisher, and renewed the contract of Shannon Brown, who has amazing physical fitness, to strengthen the internal and external lineup.

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

A "beast" power forward like Griffin is so popular. Fans are looking forward to the cooperation between him and Paul in the new season. Jordan and Gay are also players who are good at dunks. They will play very beautifully.

Yang Rui is the darling of the media. He frequently appears in sports news and entertainment news. More and more people are discussing Yang Rui's success in the entertainment industry. Every movie he invests in makes a lot of money.

"The Twilight Saga: Eclipse" was released at the end of June. The box office was slightly lower than the previous one, and it exceeded 400 million US dollars worldwide. The film's 4,468 screenings exceeded the 4,455 of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" Home has become the first in film history.

The box office of Twilight 3 was more than 100 million higher than that of Yang Rui's previous life, because they did not face "Despicable Me" head-on. Both films were produced by Echo Company and were released at different times. At the end of July, "Despicable Me" took over Twilight 3 lacks stamina.

Facebook’s iconic “minions” finally make it to the big screen.

In Yang Rui's previous life, the Minions were not the selling point of the movie at first. They were an unexpected hit. They even gave the Minions the English name "Stooge".

Now, although the protagonist of the movie is Gru, who claims to be the most frightening super bastard in the world, the charm of the Minions is obviously greater. Most young people go to the cinema to see the Minions.

There are some adaptations to the plot of the movie. There are male and female minions. There is no difference in body shape, but there is a difference in shape.

The ones who have the most scenes are Bentley, Yang, Nina and Scarlett. They command the Minion Army and together with Gru plan the craziest robbery in the entire history of mankind, intending to steal the moon.

After the movie was released, its reputation exploded. The plot was very interesting, the little girl was cute, the minions were funny, and it was a box office hit.

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

All netizens around the world know Minions, and there is no need for 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 of US$1.08 billion, ranking fourth in the history of box office. The only ones ahead of them are "Avatar", "Titanic", and "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King."

At the same time as the box office hit, the stock price of Facebook skyrocketed, and Yang Rui's net worth soared to a terrifying level.

Yang Rui made headlines in entertainment news. After returning to China, he accepted an exclusive interview with an entertainment channel and was dubbed the "Father of Minions."

In mid-September, in order to increase his presence, LeBron James made a shocking declaration in an interview: "What I want to win for the Cavaliers is not one championship, nor two, not three, not four, not five. , not six, not seven championships."

The implication is that he will lead the Cavaliers to win at least eight championships. The more Kobe, the more Jordan, the more everything. Time Fortress, Wade and Bosh are all his wings!

Cavaliers fans were going crazy. Yang Rui only found it funny after reading the news. He wondered how James would take back these words in the future.

Of course, he is likely to fulfill this promise, because once the Clippers develop smoothly, it will be difficult for the Cavaliers to win a championship.

A reporter asked James to evaluate the Clippers. He said: "Jerry Young is a great coach. He has won many honors, but I don't believe he can lead the Clippers to defeat the Cavaliers."

The reporter also interviewed Spurs coach Popovich. He won the best coach award last season and led the team to win the championship.

Popovich said: "Jerry Young should be able to lead the Clippers into the playoffs. I don't know exactly how far. I think the Clippers need to dig a big-name star next year to have a chance to rise. Now their lineup is not enough. powerful,

Even if Paul joins. "

David Stern follows NBA news, looking forward to a fierce competition between the Clippers and Lakers, and preparing to arrange the opening game of the Clippers vs. Cavaliers. Everyone wants to know how strong these two rebuilt teams are.

On September 26, the Clippers held a media day. In the past, it was deserted and no one paid attention. This time, the number of reporters covering the Clippers has increased dramatically. Although there are no people who have crossed the Lake, it is still a good start.

Yang Rui arrived at the venue wearing 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 people took photos of the core makeup. Paul, Curry, Gay, Griffin.

Dunleavy was excluded. As soon as old Dunleavy left, the status of the "Prince" immediately declined. Yang Rui didn't trade him because he couldn't get a strong player back. Instead of finding a long-term role player with average strength, it would be better to use it for one season and wait for the contract to expire to free up salary space.

Many people were surprised, including Gay himself. He had always been a role player in the Cavaliers and had never been taken seriously. When he joined the Clippers, he didn't get to meet Yang Rui. The two never communicated, but now Yang Rui makes him the core.

Guy was burning with excitement and vowed to seize the opportunity.

After taking the photo, the reporter asked Yang Rui about how he planned to use Guy.

Yang Rui replied: "Rudy Gay has strong physical fitness. I think as long as he is trained properly, he can play a role on both offense and defense and will become a player like Iguodala. He can fight in the air. Cutting, catching and shooting, rushing in front for one-on-ones during counterattacks, etc., he has the potential to become an All-Star."

The reporter asked: "Guy has not played well in the Cavaliers for four years. What do you think is the reason?"

"The position overlaps with that of James. What the Cavaliers need is a three-point shooter. The coach has not utilized his strengths."

The reporter asked: "In the new season, how do you plan to allocate the playing time of Curry and Paul? They are both point guards."

"Curry comes on the bench. At some point, I will arrange to play two defenders. This needs to be adjusted according to the opponent's lineup."

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

"Of course, have I ever focused on defense? I like the way the Raptors played best. The fans called us the Dragons. Now, I hope to turn Los Angeles into a city of lobs."

Yang Rui directly proposed the concept of "Air Receiver City" and won the "naming rights". If he doesn't say it now, some fans will give him this name in the future.

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

"Of course, I have always cultivated stars. Even Yao Ming, before I traded him to the Lakers, he did not reach star level. Chris is the only immediate star that I named to recruit. Before I coached him, he He is already known as the number one point guard."

When everyone thought about it, they found that Yang Ruizhen had never scouted big-name stars. Even in the summer, he did not take the initiative to invite a group of free agents such as James and Wade.

This is big news. People who are favored by Yang Rui have extraordinary achievements.

A reporter immediately asked: "What height do you think Paul can reach?"

"mVp, maybe after this season, he can win the regular season mVp, as long as he implements the tactics seriously. He is the most critical part of the Clippers. The team has just completed reconstruction and has many new players. It will take time to get used to it. Paul's Playing will determine our integration and regular season record."
