Chapter 789 [Newcomer Jerry, Crazy Kermit]
The Clippers have retained their core lineup except for Chris Paul, and the management team does not have much work during the holidays. The only thing that gives Yang Rui a headache is that first assistant Steve Kerr has also been poached, and he has to find a new assistant. .
The owner of the Suns has a very good relationship with Kerr. He had been asked to be the manager before, and now he was asked to be the head coach. Of course, Kerr would not refuse. Another "Jerry-type" coach has appeared.
Cole specially thanked Yang Rui at the press conference for signing the contract. He didn't know that without Yang Rui's butterfly effect, he would have had the opportunity to coach the Warriors and win the championship in his first season. Now he became the head coach a year early, but he lost the opportunity to make history.
Yang Rui first promoted Tyrone Lue to chief assistant coach, and then asked someone to contact Luke Walton.
At the beginning of the month, free agent Walton just announced his retirement. He has been in the league for many years and has always been a role player and marginal person, but his golf IQ is very high and he is suitable for coaching.
Walton returned to Los Angeles after the regular season and has a house here. He originally wanted to try his luck with the Lakers coaching staff, but he received a call from the Clippers management, which was an unexpected surprise.
The signing of Wharton went very smoothly. Yang Rui didn't give him any difficult interview questions at all, and the decision was made after just one chat.
Walton said at the press conference: "The career of a coach is a long process. I am very happy to have this opportunity to join the Clippers. I look forward to learning more from Jerry next season and becoming a better coach. .I will do my best to work and help the Clippers build a dynasty."
Walton was not the only one who wanted to join the Clippers coaching staff. Jason Kidd, who had just retired from the Mavericks, came to the door with his own recommendation. Unfortunately, it was a step too late. Yang Rui said that there was no need for so many people and refused.
People in the management were puzzled by this decision. Regardless of his reputation as a player or his business intelligence, Kidd was much better than Walton. Most people felt that it was better to choose Kidd.
Yang Rui fooled him by saying "Believe in my vision". He is a shareholder of the team and a super coach. Everyone must listen to him without explanation.
Yang Rui knows very well that Kidd only uses the Clippers as a springboard and will not stay here for long. To put it bluntly, he is here to get gold-plated, to mix his seniority and rings. As long as a team asks him to be the coach, he will definitely leave immediately and will not sign a long-term contract.
In Yang Rui's previous life, Kidd was an ambitious man. He only worked for the Nets for one year and was not satisfied with just being the head coach. He wanted more rights and had a higher status than general manager Billy King. superior.
The Russian boss did not agree and said: "BillieJeanIsNotMyLover, ButTheKiddIsNotMySon." Then Kidd was traded to the Bucks.
Wharton signed a contract for three years, and Yang Rui does not need to consider changing assistant coaches in the short term, saving a lot of trouble. Moreover, Wharton is very promising and worthy of training. The "Jerry system" will have another head coach in the future.
After finishing all this, Yang Rui went to attend the celebration party of "Passengers". This movie was a box office hit in the summer and topped the box office list for three consecutive weeks. It has taken in more than 400 million US dollars in global box office and has not exceeded 600 million. suspense.
The movie script was revised again and again. The theme was that the heroine, a repairman played by Nina, survived multiple crises with the help of the hero, a writer. The last person to go out to dissipate the heat of the spacecraft was Nina, a female hero. The roles of the hapless captain and the robot bartender remain, but they don't have many scenes. The selling points of the movie are the special effects and space dog food.
At the end, Nina repairs the writer's hibernation chamber by dismantling a medical module, but she must continue her duties of repairing the ship until she reaches her alien destination.
The writer said that he is actually a homebody and would like to spend the next few days with her. The two used the spaceship as a playground and played for decades. When the others woke up, they found that the interior of the spacecraft had been changed beyond recognition by the two of them. There was a 10-year-old boy sleeping in the male protagonist's dormant cabin, who belonged to them. son.
This story is very attractive to otakus and otakus. After watching it, some fans said that if they could enjoy the best food and all the entertainment facilities on the spaceship,
Although the place is a bit small, life is not boring.
For otakus, a 12-square-meter room with a bed, a desk, a computer, and a mobile phone can lead a happy life. They are not afraid of the sky or the earth, but are afraid of power outages and Internet outages.
Even if "The Wolverine 2" was released on July 26, its first week was only slightly better than "Passengers" in its fourth week.
This sequel movie has no highlights. It tells the story of Wolverine, who is burdened with the pain of eternal life, living in seclusion in the mountains and old forests, and a Japanese woman Xuesheng suddenly appears to pick him up and go to Japan. It turns out that Wolverine saved the life of Japanese chaebol Yashida during World War II. The seriously ill old man hoped to see him before he died and asked him to protect his granddaughter Mariko.
Then, Wolverine flirted with the heroine Mariko, beat the heroine's fiancé, killed the heroine's father, and killed the heroine's grandfather...
Well, although Wolverine has lost a lot of integrity, this is not the reason why the movie is not good. The movie sucked because his self-healing ability was weakened by the enemy. He would limp after being shot, and fainted after bleeding. The audience was worried for him. In a kung fu movie without superpowers, the protagonist is not strong enough. How could he have one? Getting started?
Attending parties is currently Yang Rui's only entertainment. The rest of the time, he has to stay at home and take care of his children.
Yang Rui has read "Fortress Besieged". Marriage is like a besieged castle. People outside the city want to rush in, and people in the city want to escape. This is a contradictory state, not only in terms of marriage, but also in many other aspects, such as having children.
To take care of his family, Yang Rui has to cancel many activities, including the trip to China that Chinese fans expect. Of course, a person of his level is not going to make money, but purely to visit the fans.
In recent years, NBA stars coming to China in the summer has become the biggest compensation for Chinese audiences during the offseason. Whether they are big-name superstars, All-Star players or ordinary players, they all value China's "fertile soil". From the original Damon Jones An unknown NBA player enjoyed superstar-level treatment after arriving in China. Now Kobe, James and others have visited several times. It can be seen that it is getting harder and harder for Chinese people to make money.
Kobe Bryant is the biggest star in this year's trip to China. There is no doubt that his popularity in China is so high that it has directly spawned a group of crazy Kobe fans.
Last week, Kobe Bryant made some news. In order to meet Kobe, a beautiful woman named Comey even declared, "I will give my life to anyone who allows me to meet Kobe." She seems to have married the wrong person.
A male fan wearing glasses was even more outrageous. This young man cried in front of the camera just because he saw Kobe.
This Comey became popular, not only domestically, but also reported by foreign media. In a video released by the American Fox Los Angeles channel, this fan cried with joy when he saw Kobe from a distance through the crowd during Kobe's trip to Shenzhen.
In an interview, this fan said excitedly: "I was so excited to see Kobe. I couldn't help crying. I kept crying."
Yang Rui watched the news at home. He was deeply impressed by this fan because in his previous life, in 2017, this fan was on the news again and did something crazier than crying.
Qidian was an online writer who wrote basketball novels. Every novel he wrote listed Kobe's statistics. He was mad about Kobe and finally angered the god of Kobe. So, during the National Day in 2017, he relied on the information he found through human flesh searches and flew across most of China to find the target. He used a hammer as the murder weapon and suddenly attacked and beat the author with a severe disc herniation in his waist. He was immediately cut off. .
this is too scary……
