Chapter 868 [How Many Best 6th Players Are There? 】

The vacancy left by Allen Crabbe was quickly filled, and there are many veterans who have not yet decided where to go in the free market.

Richard Jefferson joined the Clippers with a one-year minimum salary. Last season, he averaged 16.9 minutes per game with the Mavericks, scoring 5.8 points, 2.5 rebounds and 0.8 assists. He shot 44.4% from the field and 42.6% from three-point range. Each made 0.9 three-pointers.

Jefferson was a famous dunker in the league back then, with super physical fitness. Now at the age of 35, he can still keep up with the pace of the game. He is not short of money, and he joined the Clippers for one purpose - to win the championship!

Before the Clippers team was full, Jefferson was distraught. He felt more desperate than "falling in love with a wild horse, and there is no grassland in my home." He once considered retiring. Unexpectedly, he waited an extra month without signing a contract, and then he got the opportunity.

Yang Rui didn't expect Jefferson to bring much improvement to the team. Among the veterans who don't need money, he is considered the most powerful.

No one else wants to change teams. The Clippers lineup has been finalized and will not be adjusted again.

Yang Rui continues to take vacation at home. In addition to playing with his children, he also chooses scripts with his girlfriend.

Scarlett joined Marvel, so she didn't have to worry about having no movies to film, and she joined the cast of "Captain America 3" to play the role of Black Widow. Because she has one more child, she has made many fewer movies than in her previous life. She changed actresses in "Super Body" and "Under the Skin".

It is worth mentioning that Eva Green starred in "Under the Skin". This exhibitionist actress who is uncomfortable taking off her clothes once again took the opportunity to indulge her addiction.

The other two in the family have no films to shoot, so they can only accept the script and wait for Facebook to invest. What Yang Rui has to do is to help them choose a reliable film. If it doesn't work, he can find someone to tailor the script. Anyway, he is not afraid of losing money.

It is difficult for Stana to shake off the image of a girl-beater, and she is preparing to make a sequel to the Resident Evil series of movies. The script Yang Rui chose for Nina is called "Shark Beach". The story is very simple, about a girl surfing on the beach, encountering a shark attack, and surviving alone.

Nina likes surfing in real life. They often drive yachts and go to Santa Cruz beach in groups. Nina's skills are among the best among amateurs. Acting in this movie must be a piece of cake.

But Nina felt that the investment was too low and it was not a commercial blockbuster. She was a little dissatisfied and pouted: "Can't I choose a big production? After I give birth, I can make a great movie to come back."

"Although this story is simple, I think it is quite good. The main thing is to highlight the heroine. There are no good scripts for big productions."

In recent years, Hollywood blockbusters have not been very prosperous. Apart from superhero movies, the only ones that make money are the Fast and Furious series. Both of them are difficult to join.

Nina asked: "I heard that "Fast and Furious 8" may have a female villain. How about I give it a try?"

"Forget it. Apart from your long hair, how are you like the villain in Chicken Little?" Yang Rui scratched her nose.

Yang Rui remembers that the role in his previous life was played by Charlize Theron. He had a twitchy personality and nonsense logic. He had no fighting scenes and was always talking nonsense. The chase scene at the end was even more outrageous than the 10-kilometer-long airstrip in episode six.

Moreover, the overall plot of Suji 8 was a pain in the ass. The bald Boss Tang was blackmailed into being the villain for half of the episode. The bald Johnson called on the speedsters to join forces with the villain of the seventh episode, the bald Guo Da-Statham, and worked together to defeat the enemy. Theron.

Why long hair must die? Don’t worry about this detail. But in the last episode, Boss Tang also said that Guo Da must be killed. He couldn't think of any words to describe what he was going to do to Guo Da. It was extremely cruel. As a result, in the eighth episode, people discovered that the word was "tired by logging", and Han and Giselle's coffin boards could no longer be covered...

I don’t know if the ninth episode of Suji will be filmed. Yang Rui thinks the plot could be that Giselle transforms into a heroine and brings her own BGM to seek revenge on these bald men.

At the end of September, the Clippers stole the limelight from almost all teams. On Media Day, reporters from many countries were sent to interview.

The core lineup in Yang Rui's mind has changed again, and Whiteside took the core makeup photos. Now that he has signed a four-year contract, Yang Rui plans to increase his playing time.

Gasol and Jokic belong to the same type of insiders.

Yang Rui plans to reuse Gasol and let Jokic practice first and accumulate experience. Jokic will increase his playing time next season. Whiteside and Gasol share playing time at the center position to ensure efficiency, which will be of great help to the team.

In the public training session, the outside players made the audience shine again. Crabbe made the right choice by proposing a trade.

Antetokounmpo Antetokounmpo practiced shooting in the summer. He can't do three-pointers, but he has a certain confidence in mid-range shots. This makes him stronger. It's difficult for opponents to block shots when he takes shots. I can only pray that he has a bad touch.

Middleton is sure of his mid-range and long-range shots and plays excellent defense.

Covington's three-pointers are also much more accurate than last season. It may be that he had a fit in the training games and scored three goals in a row.

Danny Green occupies the starting position at No. 2; Booker performs more eye-catching with his rich offensive methods; Norman Powell has good physical fitness and can catch and shoot three-pointers.

Veteran Jefferson can only be a marginal player when he joins the Clippers, and Crabbe really has no chance of staying.

In this preseason, Yang Rui did not arrange for the stars to rest, and adjusted the lineup just like the regular season. The starting lineup remained the same as last season, with a large bench leading four small players, and quick counterattacks were the main focus.

The Clippers' starting lineup is very well integrated. All five players can shoot three-pointers. If an opponent double-teams Curry, it will be a dead end. If Curry is not double-teamed, the combination of inside and outside can easily create mismatches. Curry's shooting is getting more and more accurate. As long as there is no one in front of him, he can shoot whatever he wants.

Curry reached his peak last season. Yang Rui knows that as long as he is given simple cover tactics and guaranteed playing time, he can become the scoring leader.

Curry is actually capable of competing for the scoring title every season, but his playing time is too short, and he never averages less than 35 minutes per game. If he is given a chance to perform for 40 minutes, it will not be difficult for him to score 30+.

The Clippers' bench is more terrifying than last season. The five preseason rotation players are Zach LaVine, Devin Booker, Antetokounmpo, David West, and Whiteside.

With such depth in the lineup, Yang Rui will certainly not arrange defense as the main focus. He will get rebounds and three people will go on a fast break, and they can directly attack the basket in a one-on-one. If the opponent returns to defense quickly enough, open up the position and play as a point forward.

The two insiders pull out to cover, and the defender runs to catch and shoot. Whiteside's misplaced cut is an opportunity, West's misplaced mid-range shot is an opportunity, LaVine can catch the ball and shoot a three-pointer, and Booker can break through with the ball. If Antetokounmpo doesn't pass, he also has an advantage in one-on-one combat in the middle. If the opponent doesn't send a defensive expert, it will be difficult to stop him.

So the question is, how many best sixth men do the Clippers have?

The two veterans, Jefferson and Miller, will definitely not get many playing opportunities throughout the season, and Covington and Powell will also have to start guarding the water cooler.

Jokic will definitely not be guarding the water cooler. Yang Rui did not let him play because he planned to use it as a secret weapon. He will play more time than West in the new season. As long as he performs at a normal level, he will definitely scare his opponents.

In the preseason, the Clippers won all 7 games. The starters left work at halftime in five games, and then the opponent's starters who came off the bench were unable to fight back.

Yang Rui said in an interview: "This season's championship will definitely belong to the Clippers. What I said is definitely, not to compete for the championship, to defend the title, etc. Please don't write it wrong."

The reporter asked: "What do you predict the Clippers will achieve in the regular season this year?"

Yang Rui answered confidently: "Although many players are new, I think the overall strength of the Clippers is not inferior to that of the record-breaking year, so this season I hope to hit the best record in history. As long as I don't encounter serious injuries, I There is no suspense about getting 70 wins."
