Chapter 849 [2 Monsters, 1 New Look]
In September, Yang Rui sent his 3-year-old daughter Shirley to the famous Noble Kindergarten in Los Angeles.
This is what Scarlett Johansson suggested. If a child does not meet friends of the same age, learn some enlightening knowledge, and always stays at home with his parents, he will easily be spoiled.
At first, Yang Rui had strong feelings of resistance. When he heard the word "kindergarten", he had an ominous premonition. He imagined that his daughter would be abused. Standing, pulling the ears, slapping, and knocking the head were all trivial matters. The worst was to encounter If you come to Grandma Rong, I will stab you to death.
Children who graduate from this kind of kindergarten can easily leave behind childhood shadows, which can lead to various psychological problems when they grow up. Joining an organization like the Phantom Troupe is just around the corner.
To this end, he took a group of bodyguards to inspect the kindergarten.
After the inspection, he felt relieved. Teachers generally have a bachelor's degree or above. On the surface, they seem to be "pampering" towards the children, but in fact they show genuine love and care for the children.
As soon as the headmistress saw Yang Rui, she started talking endlessly about the situation in the kindergarten. Her expression made her want to hug Yang Rui's thigh and call her daddy. This kind of teacher would definitely not abuse Shirley.
The kindergarten also has a very rich teaching content: singing, dancing, art, mathematics, handicrafts, science, language, physical education, etc. It sounds good and Shirley likes it very much.
The parents of the children in this kindergarten are either Los Angeles business tycoons or entertainment stars, or they are doctors, lawyers, civil servants, and they have many acquaintances.
The kindergarten teachers who can work here are also carefully selected. Anyone who dares to abuse children here will definitely be punished by the Nine Clans.
This month, all the NBA's top players have signed contracts, and most of them have stayed with the team. It is very difficult to recruit restricted free agents this year. All teams will match the contract, even if the salary is the maximum.
For example, the Jazz matched the 4-year, 63 million contract offered by the Hornets to Gordon Hayward, with the fourth year still being a player option. Last season, the 23-year-old Hayward averaged 36.4 minutes per game, 16.2 points, 5.1 rebounds and 5.2 assists. He was only a second-rate star. Such a contract was unimaginable in previous years.
In 2013, the Jazz wanted to renew Hayward's contract in advance and offered a five-year, 50 million contract, but was rejected. Player salary increases have now quietly begun.
Yang Rui stayed at home for another half month, and he was not bored at all, because the home was like a resort, with all kinds of entertainment facilities. It was just a little troublesome to look after the children. Shirley went to kindergarten, and there were younger Chris and Claire at home.
I coaxed my children until the end of the month. On September 26, the Clippers held a media day and the new season was about to begin.
Yang Rui selected six people to take the core makeup photos together, Curry, Middleton, Gay, Draymond Green, Pau Gasol, and Nene.
Danny Green and Antetokounmpo are excluded.
In the new season, Danny Green will focus more on the defensive end. The number of shots on the offensive end will not increase. It is enough to be able to catch the ball and shoot three-pointers. Yang Rui made him realize his position straightforwardly.
Antetokounmpo should focus on training this season and integrate into the team as soon as possible. Yang Rui will not arrange complicated tactics for him.
In his previous life with the Bucks, Kidd's method of training Antetokounmpo was to let him attack with the ball, combine sudden shooting and shooting, standard outside play, and even let him serve as a point guard.
Yang Rui will not let Antetokounmpo be so unconventional, 211CM point guard is having fun! He planned to let him develop in the direction of Garnett. Garnett played small forward in his early days and was an all-around forward with a strong body. Around 2000, Garnett successfully transformed into a power forward and became the second best player in the league. Three power forwards. (No need to count, everyone knows who it is)
Therefore, Yang Rui plans to let Antetokounmpo directly practice pick-and-rolls, support passes, break through the frame, and shoot; on the defensive end, he will coach in guarding pick-and-rolls, assisting in blocking shots, controlling rebounds in the backcourt, launching counterattacks with one pass, etc., which is Garnet Something I'm particularly good at.
If Antetokounmpo can practice three-pointers, it will be perfect. He will coach a point in the right corner. The task is what Yang Rui originally assigned to Griffin.
After the side screen, he cuts and plays singles with the ball to attract defensive passes.
Yang Rui doesn't need Antetokounmpo to gain weight. He is more in line with the style of play of this era. Mobility and height are already more important than confrontation. Don't be too tough at the 4th position.
In an interview, Yang Rui commented on all the players on the team and said: "No one on the Clippers is redundant. This is our championship lineup. There will be no trades in the mid-term. I believe that by the end of the season, everyone will be together." I am happy to lift the championship trophy, create a record of four consecutive championships in the new era, and be proud of everything this season."
People are not surprised by Yang Rui's bold declaration of winning the championship. Although many people feel that sending Griffin away is a loss, they also believe that Yang Rui can cultivate equally outstanding new stars. Fans will wait and see.
The next day during the public training session, Yang Rui feasted the fans' eyes on a dunk contest.
Many people thought that it would be difficult to find an entertaining player like Griffin, but it turned out that the Clippers now have two on the team.
LaVine went on a solo fast break and completed a windmill dunk from the free throw line, which shocked a group of people.
Yang Rui did not arrange defense and asked the players to perform as much as they wanted. On the defensive end, he let people rush in and do whatever they wanted. LaVine is the most suitable for this kind of game. His goals are all dunk contest-level performances, and then he has alley-catches, drifting windmills, 360-degree turn dunks, and folding lever dunks.
After one quarter, many fans who watched the live broadcast through Facebook Sports suspected that they had watched a fake game. Is this even a human being? What was shown was actually a game video, and then the face was cut out, right?
LaVine took a break, and Antetokounmpo started a new round of performance. He took three steps from the three-point line and could dunk the ball into the basket with one hand. He also completed a European step from outside the three-point line while being defended.
Fans can already understand why Yang Rui wanted to trade Griffin for Antetokounmpo. Although his statistics last season were average, Griffin was so talented that there was no pressure on him. His speed, jumping, flexibility, and wingspan were all excellent. Top notch. Griffin's quality is beast-level, and Antetokounmpo is super-human. He is an alien.
Other new players have also shown their own specialties. Pau Gasol is an all-around inside man. He worked perfectly with Draymond Green for the first time. He grasps the timing of passing the ball very well, no matter who is empty. Everything, he can send out internal passes and cooperate with each other, and he can also pass to teammates on the outside.
Gasol is particularly suitable for pick-and-roll tactics and Princeton. It doesn't take much time for him to get used to joining the Clippers. He just needs to play the way he is good at and likes.
The substitute interior is also outstanding. Whiteside does not have to do any other work. He only needs to help the teammate with the ball in the middle to pick and roll, and then quickly cut to the basket to catch the ball and attack the basket, or stand in the high post to catch the ball and shoot. He has poor passing awareness and cannot coordinate, and Yang Rui does not intend to let him practice this. The ball on the offensive end is to end the offense.
In addition, Whiteside can still do Faried's job last season, and he is extremely brave in grabbing offensive rebounds.
Nene has rich experience and can certainly do a good job in pick-and-rolls and air cuts. He has been injured many times and his quality has declined. Fortunately, he has outstanding footwork in the low post and is excellent in one-on-one offense. He can get a layup or hook in two flicks.
The team's fringe players performed well, with Turkoglu, Covington, Jones, Crabbe and others taking turns to hit three-pointers.
Without waiting for the preseason, Yang Rui firmly believes that the Clippers are still the strongest team this season, with a completely new lineup and new players who have a strong desire to win and will definitely try their best to defend the title.
