Chapter 743 [No One Can Match It, It’s a Great Year for the Draft]

Blake Griffin won the Finals MVP and made a mark in his career, averaging 32+10+7 per game. LeBron James, who had the best statistics on both teams, could only go back to the locker room. Find a corner to lick your wounds.

At the post-game press conference, Adelman commented on the game and said that the Cavaliers really tried their best, but the strength gap between the two teams was too big. Due to the Clippers' targeting, James and his teammates were almost isolated.

The Clippers' overall defense is very simple, which is to cut off James' passing routes and guard against others, especially three-pointers. Once the star cannot score suddenly, the Cavaliers' tactics are limited to James singles and Wade singles. People can see James' efforts, and they can see Wade trying his best, but the game is so cruel, and trying your best may not necessarily lead to success. At most, it can inspire people's sympathy for the weak.

Yang Rui talked about a complete victory and said relaxedly: "Why not do this if we are only one game away? We have no reason to relax."

The reporter asked: "Can you evaluate James? He has reached the finals three times and only won one game. As one of the best stars in the league, what is the reason for this situation?"

"Maybe it's because of bad luck, or maybe he didn't join the Clippers." Yang Rui said with a smile.

Now, even if James wants to join the Clippers, he has no chance. The Clippers have organizers, people who can attack the basket, everything, and there is no need for him at all.

Clippers players were interviewed and all praised Yang Rui. Everyone believed that the Clippers won the championship and the coach took credit for it.

News coverage of the finals was all about Yang Rui, who was the most popular person on the Clippers and stole the limelight from the stars.

"The winner in NBA life, God on the sidelines continues to write legends."

"Chinese coaches dominate the basketball world and are undisputedly the best coaches in NBA history."

"A terrifying record. Jerry Young has only missed three finals in his career and has never missed the conference finals."

On June 24, the Clippers held a championship parade in Los Angeles.

This is Yang Rui's fifth championship parade in Los Angeles. He is very familiar with the route and process. The Clippers and Lakers routes are exactly the same. The management coordinates with various departments. It is the plan provided by Yang Rui, which saves a lot of trouble. .

This incident also made the news. A coach has made it a habit to win championships and is able to plan parades. This is definitely the first time in NBA history. The number of championship parades in the 21st century, Yang Rui’s 8 times is unrivaled, so domineering.

Clippers owner Donald Sterling also participated in the parade on a float. This is a very honorable thing. He finally realizes the happiness of Lakers owner Jerry Barry. What is more embarrassing is that Sterling did not get the recognition of the fans, and the players also lacked communication with him. He looked like a passerby.

When the event was over, Sterling discovered depressingly that he didn't feel like he was pretending because the fans still hated him, and no one even felt that he was responsible for winning the championship.

When everyone spoke, everyone received warm applause from the fans. When Sterling spoke, the fans only gave sporadic applause, which was a bit of a silence and wasted his carefully prepared speech.

An owner who doesn't like basketball and only wants to make money with the team cannot be recognized by fans. Cuban's performance was much cuter when he and the Mavericks won the championship last year.

Cuban was happy because he was the champion. He would hold the championship trophy when he went to the toilet. Sterling is happy that the team is profitable and hopes that winning the championship will make his popularity even higher. For him, the Clippers are an advertisement. He had no interest in sleeping with the championship trophy in his arms, and he didn't even bother to touch the trophy. He only wanted to count the money.

The championship party was arranged directly on the yacht "Tranquility". Sterling didn't have to pay for it. Yang Rui treated him, and everyone caroused for two days before landing.

The party held by Yang Rui was the most attractive in the history of the NBA. A Michelin three-star chef held a concert, and many singers, movie stars, and celebrities came to support it.

There are many people in Hollywood who are versatile. They are already great at acting and can sing at the level of a professional singer. Especially Seth MacFarlane, the director of "Teddy Bear", sang "My?ay" very much like the original version.

"Fat Winslet" Kate Winslet has become Seth's fan.

The applause was the strongest, and Yang Rui looked on and found it funny.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Seth was a loser who obviously had an excellent voice and singing skills, but he sang "We've Seen Your Boobs" at the 2013 Oscars. It was so embarrassing that countless female stars were embarrassed. . "Fei Wen" was shot several times, and it could be said that he was shot into a sieve, and his face turned dark on the sidelines.

Yang Rui got new investment inspiration when he watched celebrities singing.

After finishing the production of "Despicable Me 2", he plans to invest in another cartoon movie "The Voice". In Yang Rui's previous life, this movie had a huge reputation and box office. Scarlett also voiced the porcupine girl in the movie and sang a rock song.

"The Voice" happens to be between cartoons and musicals, taking advantage of both genres. The cute images of the characters make the audience feel close to them, and the large number of songs, dances and singles that are familiar to the audience make it easier for the audience to feel involved. After the success, a sequel was planned and released in 2019. Yang Rui had been reborn by then and could not see it.

Yang Rui likes this movie very much. The plot is simple and he remembers it clearly. He can still play a role when the time comes. Anyway, it is just dubbing and no acting skills are required.

After playing hard for two days and seeing off many guests, Yang Rui continued to live on the yacht for vacation.

On the 26th, he spent an hour studying the information sent by the scouts, analyzing the situation of this NBA rookie class, comparing it with the official draft predictions, and determined the person to be selected this time.

2012 is another recognized year for the draft, so there were a lot of bad teams last season.

Anthony Davis, a boy with thick eyebrows, has already locked up the No. 1 pick. Some experts say he is better than Garnett and slightly weaker than Duncan. He has super physical fitness and can shoot. The disadvantage is that he lacks low-post skills, but he can be practiced in the low-post. Only 19 years old.

The popular candidate for the second pick, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, is Pippen.

There is also Bradley Beal, who is called the next Ray Allen on the offensive end. He has amazing shooting ability and can break through.

Dion Waiters is called a replica of Wade. Some experts say that in terms of offense, he is simply Wade's biological son.

The Clippers have three draft picks, all of which are relatively low. Their first-round and second-round picks, the second-round pick they acquired from the Hornets when they traded Paul, and the first-round pick they acquired from the Grizzlies in exchange for DeAndre Jordan. Lottery protection, won’t be used this season.

Veteran Kurt Thomas has a championship and will retire in the summer.

Marginal center Aaron Gray is also leaving. He has a championship and can sign a relatively high contract with a bad team.

Gary Neal's contract expires and he will definitely leave. He has no place in the Clippers.

At position 2, Danny Green, Tony Allen, and Korver share playing time. Curry often plays double guard with Paul. Neal can only play 5 minutes in garbage time in the No. 1 position in each game. He is a pure fringe player.

Neal also doesn't want to stay with the Clippers. This is asking for death. He can't be reused. His plan is to first find a weak team to sign a one-year short-term contract to ensure playing time and high performance, and then strive for a larger contract.

The Clippers have three vacated positions, and it is just right to select three rookies. Yang Rui does not plan to find veterans in the free market, so Battier can be the leader of the locker room. With him and Paul as captains next season, it will be enough to maintain harmony in the locker room.

Yang Rui circled three candidates, but there were no alternatives, leaving it to manager Nell Olshey to operate. The Clippers need fresh blood next season. If these three candidates cannot be found, the draft picks can be traded out, and Yang Rui will not like others.
