The Pope of Basketball Community

Like Yang Rui's previous life, Wang Zhizhi was selected by the Mavericks with the 36th pick. Old Nelson has always admired Wang Zhizhi, which made Chinese fans very excited.

The 53rd Raptors selected swingman Rodney Buford and immediately sent them to the Heat for cash. This swingman has no special features, and Yang Rui doesn't like it.

After the draft, Yang Rui and Thomas traveled in Washington for two days, visited several popular attractions, and returned to Toronto.

Stana Katic finally had a vacation, and Yang Rui followed her to Aurora, Illinois, USA to visit her family. My daughter is in a relationship with an NBA coach, frequently appears at the Raptors' home court to watch games, and has been on the news many times. The family has long known.

Stana was born in a middle-class family. She is the eldest daughter of the family. She has four younger brothers and one younger sister. The family is very loving. Yang Rui came to the door this time with a bunch of gifts, including a Carter jersey signed by the whole team.

Chatting at dinner, Yang Rui learned that Stana's father, Milos, is from Serbia, and her mother, Sonia, is from Croatia. Their story is like a real-life version of Romeo and Juliet. The two eloped and immigrated to Canada.

The grievances between the two countries cannot be clearly explained in one or two sentences. They are feuds involving ethnicity, religion, territory, historical hatred and other issues, and they do not like each other. As their union was hindered, the name they gave their eldest daughter meant something to do with "evil eye", meaning to protect her from bad things.

Stana's parents are godly and believe in Catholicism, so Yang Rui has a big head. Fortunately, Stana does not believe in religion and wants to be a star, otherwise Yang Rui would never be able to bear it.

Both parents are tall and have good genes. Stana's family is full of long legs. The four younger brothers all welcomed Yang Rui. The youngest one was in the first grade of elementary school and asked him about basketball and wondered if he would have a chance to play in the NBA in the future.

Stana's younger sister is less than three years old, and she also likes to lean against Yang Rui, she doesn't speak, just giggles.

Yang Rui found that he seemed to have the temperament to attract children. Since his rebirth, all the opposite sexes who have taken a liking to him are younger than him, probably because he looks younger than his age.

Yang Rui was welcomed by the family, but her desire to share the bed with Stana was still not fulfilled. Catholics oppose premarital sex. In front of her parents, this matter cannot be mentioned, and can only be done after leaving Aurora City Intend.

In July, the free market opened, and Raptors fans were curious about what big moves the management would make. Played so well last season, the Raptors seem to have the charm to attract big names and have salary space.

The management is actively operating, but it is not smooth. All the powerful veterans in the free market have rejected the invitation of the Raptors.

Unwilling to cut salary to join.

The Raptors most want to sign veteran Charles Barkley, but he seems to care more about money than championship.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Barkley only received a salary cut of 1 million for Pippen's joining in the 1998-99 season. The prerequisite was that in the 1999-00 season, the Rockets promised to offer him an annual salary of 1,200 as compensation.

Now, without Pippen joining the Rockets, Barkley is making money in Houston.

"Flying Pig" didn't give Glenn any face, saying: "Even if I want to cut my salary to compete for the championship, I will go to the Lakers, Spurs, and Heat, but I will never get the Raptors."

Charles Oakley is also a free agent. Glenn called to invite him, and he directly asked about the salary. The Raptors want him to be a substitute, how can they give him a high salary?

Oakley got a championship ring in the Knicks, and his goal of playing is to make money.

Also leaving the Knicks is Stephen Jackson. He is only 20 years old this year and has great potential. The Nets are willing to offer a three-year contract. Because of its geographical location, Jackson chose New Jersey, which is across the river from New York.

Chucky Atkins joined the Magic on a short one-year contract. He was worried that the Raptors could only be a marginal player. There were too many outside potential rookies. Which round would get him?

As of July 5, the only free agent signed by the Raptors is point guard Dell Curry, a well-known three-point shooter in the league. It is a targeted reinforcement, 6.2 million in three years.

In addition, the management renewed the contract of center Brad Miller for 10 million in three years. This is the person Yang Rui asked to stay. Miller was almost poached by the Bulls, and Glenn matched the premium contract.

Yang Rui found someone he wanted, and the management led by Glenn Gruward was very embarrassed. If he wanted to strengthen, he could only rely on trading.

Yang Rui became upset, and blacklisted all the free agents who rejected the Raptors. After the Raptors won the championship, if they wanted to grab a share of the money, they would not consider their ability and let them fend for themselves.

After looking through the list provided by the scouts, Yang Rui got inspiration and called the manager. "Glenn, if you don't have a well-known role player, don't force it. If you have no strength, you don't need to deliberately renew the contract. I need a free agent now. Give him a basic salary, and he should be able to recruit him. Please help me get in touch."

"who?"

"Earl Boykins, point guard, undrafted rookie last season, played a few games with the Nets and Cavaliers." Yang Rui replied. This person had a deep impression on him in his previous life, and he belonged to a different kind of instant combat power.

"Okay, I'll look at his profile first, and then contact his agent." Glenn has no impression of this name, and believes that the task can be easily completed, and undrafted rookies are generally not wanted by the team.

Yang Rui hung up the phone and played PS game consoles with Thomas at home. The King of Fighters 97 is considered one of the most fun games of this era. Even in 2018, there are still many fans.

In the era of Yang Ruilai, all kinds of combos have been thoroughly studied by players. He is a master at an ordinary level in this era, and he is abusive when playing Thomas, often 1v3.

Thomas was abused for a while, freaking out. "How do you practice? I heard that there is an e-sports competition in this game, you might as well go and participate, maybe you can win the championship."

"Hey, your idea is good. When Facebook grows bigger, we can also develop games and engage in e-sports. After the dating platform is launched, let's create a game section? It can increase user bonding."

"That's right. The inspiration this time is mine. There must be something wrong." Thomas laughed. There are no young people who don't like playing games.

The phone rang, and Yang Rui put down the handle to pick it up. "It's done so quickly? Only 5 minutes."

"No, I just want to make sure that you are really talking about Earl Boykins, not the other Boykins? The one with a height of 165 cm and a weight of 60 kg... I didn't hear it wrong, did I?"

"You heard me right, it's him. It's best to sign a three- or four-year long-term contract with him. Don't announce it to the public. Take Di Brown and John Thomas to trade for a veteran shooting guard who is good at shooting three-pointers. I think the lineup That's good enough."

"Isn't it too hasty? Can he do it?"

"There is no shortage of potential players in the team. What is needed is rich tactics. He meets my requirements."

Your request is to find a guy who is shorter than the average person? What kind of tactic is this?

Glenn pondered for a moment, and decided to do what Yang Rui said. Anyway, the contract is not big, and it still doesn't meet the team's hero requirements?

"I'll make a call, you wait for the good news."

PS: The fifth chapter is here. The Raptors’ lineup is actually very strong. There is no need to find superstars. Fans who hope to see Barkley win the championship will probably be disappointed, but in fact, this guy just likes money. knew. Ask for a monthly ticket, please support the genuine version! thank you all!
