Chapter 737 [Nanny Story, Misfortunes Never Come Singly]

The Cavaliers were given three days of rest to prepare for the finals, while the Clippers players were given a week of rest to gain physical advantage.

Bosh returned from injury early and was not in his best condition. The Cavaliers only had Tony Douglas and Chalmers at the No. 1 position. The Clippers happened to have stars in these two positions and the lineup was dominant.

On schedule 232, the Clippers have the home court advantage and a good location.

Yang Rui believes that the Cavaliers' only hope of winning the championship is that the Clippers players are young, have never played in the finals, have mental problems, and cannot display their full strength.

Therefore, Yang Rui said those words to relieve the pressure on the players and make them believe that they will win the finals. Psychological tactics can also be used on your own people.

The next day off, Yang Rui booked a movie and invited a group of relatives, friends, bodyguards, housekeepers, etc. to watch Marvel's "Avengers", which contributed a little to the box office of Scarlett Johansson's movie.

When leaving the cinema, a reporter came up to interview him. Yang Rui thought it was an entertainment reporter and asked the bodyguard to let him go. Unexpectedly, it was an NBC sports reporter who asked about Kobe's 2009 playoffs.

"Jerry, someone broke the news that Kobe was not injured in the 2009 playoffs because his style of play was too unique, so you didn't let him enter the 13th roster. He stayed at home and pretended to be sick. Is this true?"

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

Yang Rui was stunned again by the reporter's answer, "Kobe's nanny said it."

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

The Kobes were sued by former nanny Maria Gimenez. Gimenez said that she had been discriminated against and insulted by Kobe and Vanessa many times when she worked at Kobe's house. As billionaires, Kobe and Vanessa His wife also broke her promise and did not purchase health insurance for Jimenez, and asked her to do some jobs that ordinary people would find very disgusting.

In addition, Jimenez said that the Kobe family still owed her wages and used various means to oppress and extract her remaining value. Her lawyer issued a statement saying that Kobe and Vanessa's series of actions have violated multiple regulations under labor law.

In the end, the two parties chose to settle off the court, and Kobe and Vanessa paid their former nanny $200,000 in compensation, so that Gimenez would not litigate the matter.

Gimenez will not receive the entire $200,000 compensation. She will need to use $70,000 of it as attorney fees, and she 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 the ears and stealing the bell." Kobe and Vanessa's abuse of the nanny has been confirmed to be true after they paid compensation. American netizens also expressed surprise and emotion at this incident, which made them laugh.

Peak Komy suffered another heavy blow. They have always protected Kobe's character and wanted to portray him as a good person, but this was as difficult as trying to portray Leonardo DiCaprio as an innocent man.

Kobe obviously underestimated his nanny. Gimenez did not mention the abuse, but he spoke in an interview about how Kobe got angry several times when he saw the Lakers win at home in the 2009 playoffs. Kobe jumped three feet high at home and his head was flat, so how could he be reimbursed for a serious injury?

Yesterday, a big news reporter from NBC secretly interviewed members of the Lakers medical team. The management could hide it from the media, but they could not hide it from the team doctors. Kobe was fine during the regular season, but suddenly suffered a serious injury during training and was reimbursed, but he did not allow the medical team to treat him. How can this make people suspicious?

The reporter's investigation found that Kobe had no record of seeing other doctors. He just stayed at home. Based on the testimony of the nanny, it was 80% true that he was pretending to be injured.

Kobe almost went crazy. The "abuse of the nanny" was nothing compared to the "Eagle County Incident", and the compensation was also small. But no one knows how bad the impact will be once the 2009 playoffs are exposed and how long the impact will last.

Misfortunes never come singly, and now Kobe and Vanessa are still divorcing.

As Kobe Bryant’s affair scandals come one after another,

Both seemed tired of this process of forgiveness, exposure, forgiveness, and exposure again. Vanessa has publicly stated that she will not be with Kobe; and Kobe himself admitted that after the property is distributed, the two will not maintain a relationship as husband and wife, but will only maintain a relationship as friends.

The two have not yet 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 other is that the two parties still have not reached an agreement on the distribution of property. To put it bluntly, the money Kobe gave to Vanessa is repaid. Didn't meet expectations.

Yang Rui has too many entertainment projects at home, so he has reduced the number of times he surfs the Internet and doesn't pay much attention to these news. He reacted quickly, knowing that he couldn't add insult to injury at this moment.

"I have already left the Lakers. I will not comment on anything about the Lakers unless we meet in the playoffs. All I care about now is the finals, and I only hope that the Clippers can win the championship."

Yang Ruicha changed the topic, and the female reporter followed up and asked: "You didn't arrange training today and came to watch the movie because you are confident of winning the championship?"

"Yes, only when players combine work and rest can they play the best game. We will not underestimate the enemy. The players will relax today. Tomorrow we will train and practice tactics based on the Cavaliers' weaknesses."

Yang Rui steered the topic toward the Clippers and avoided talking about Kobe. The reporter had no choice. If he forced the question, the result would be an unhappy ending. The finals were coming soon, and he had no reason to pay attention to other people's affairs.

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

Thomas shook his head: "No, I didn't let them pay attention. Jerry Buss must not live long. At this time, we need to avoid suspicion. Reporters like to talk nonsense. I don't want to see any radio stations saying that we are responsible for him in the future." So angry."

"Yes, the Lakers have been mentioned less or not at all recently. They no longer pose a threat to the Clippers."

Yang Rui's idea is also to avoid suspicion and try not to get involved in the Lakers' chaotic whirlpool. This is meaningless to them. Competing with the Lakers in the Los Angeles market, the Clippers already have the upper hand.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Buss passed away in February 2013. Some unscrupulous media claimed that the Lakers' poor performance in F4 made Buss angry to death. If you talk too much about Facebook news, it will affect your image.

A major overhaul of the Lakers' lineup in the summer is inevitable. Love and Luol Deng have both stated that they must leave and have a tough attitude; Nash and Jeremy Lin are free agents and are unwilling to renew their contracts with the Lakers.

Next season, the Lakers may be in a dilemma with no one available at the No. 1 position, and their strength will continue to decline. How can they compete with the Clippers?

Moreover, there are no big-name stars willing to partner with Kobe. Whether "Warcraft" Howard will join is still a question.

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

Yang Rui and Thomas' plan is to buy the Clippers. Before success, they must always create a good image as bosses. They stayed away during labor negotiations. Yang Rui always interacted with the players in the team and stood with them. aside.

In addition to coaching, he often treats players to meals and cares about their lives.

If the Clippers successfully win the championship this time, in addition to the team party and the championship parade in Los Angeles, Yang Rui also plans to treat the players to a good time at his own expense and give them additional benefits, such as everyone taking the "Serenity" to go to sea together, which is the case for other championships. This is a treatment that no team has ever experienced.

If the media finally reveals the truth about Kobe's hiding in the playoffs, that's their fault. As long as Yang Rui doesn't admit it, it will save Kobe's face. The fans will not say that he is petty.
