The Pope of Basketball Community

Chapter 330 [Lost Restaurant, Lively Market]

Yang Rui successfully took care of the Hornacek family. Next week, Abby will go to New York for an interview.

She is a girl who has no stage fright and will definitely pass. The crew will also interview a new male host and adopt Yang Rui's suggestion to find someone who is good at complaining and telling jokes.

Previously, the crew found a handsome guy to partner with Scarlett. Scarlett became fat due to eating, but the man was still very thin.

Melanie said this man was not good at food and was too pretentious when introducing delicious food, so she dismissed him. Well, the real reason this guy was fired was because Melanie wanted her daughter to look normal. The crew is going to change a fat man to be the host, but he has to be fatter than Scarlett.

Yang Rui and Stana stayed in Chicago for a week and then went to New York together.

It would be better for him to go see Abby's face.

As expected, the image of Abby's blonde Barbie completely outperformed the two people who came to "accompany the bid". With Yang Rui's relationship, she easily won the role and headed towards the direction of snack food.

On the same day, the male host also completed the interview and selected a fat white man who performed talk shows and dances. The more Yang Rui looked at him, the more familiar he seemed. When he finally asked his name, he found out that his name was Chris Pratt.

Yang Rui immediately remembered, isn't this guy the "Star-Lord" from "Guardians of the Galaxy"?

Now, Chris has only been in the entertainment industry for three years, and he is just a bit player, and he is also a bit player in a bad TV series that people can't remember the name of. He needs exposure and will actively participate in interviews for any job opportunities.

Yang Rui has caused the butterfly effect again. If he were to find a normal host, Chris would definitely not be able to get his turn, but now he and Fei Jiali are together.

Yang Rui said that the process of this "Fake Family" reality show is not only to make the audience feel delicious, but also to introduce how to eat healthily, because except for Abby, the two people have excessive calories at first glance. There are so many fat people in America, so this program needs to have something positive.

When Yang Rui left New York, he told Scarlett to lose weight. She must find a way to lose weight, otherwise she would definitely have no chance of becoming a first-line Hollywood actor in the future. Although her breasts are now big, her belly is even bigger.

According to Yang Rui's past life, Scarlett's famous movie "Lost in Translation" will be filmed this year. She must have missed it. With her figure, she can only get lost in the restaurant.

After everything was arranged, Yang Rui and Stana flew to Los Angeles to start their vacation.

This year's NBA free market is particularly lively, with many large-scale transactions. The most watched one is the poaching of the Raptors.

The Clippers' salary space is about 10 million. Owner Donald Sterling opened his wallet for the first time and offered O'Neal a maximum salary. However, O'Neal chose to join the Phoenix Suns.

In terms of geographical location, Phoenix is ​​not as good as Los Angeles, but it is also the ninth largest city in the United States and the fourth largest city in the NBA West. O'Neal Jr.'s goal is very clear, which is to be the core of the team's inside line. The Suns lack good inside lines.

Last season, the Suns' starting center was blue-collar Jack Tsakalidis, who was 218cm tall, weighed 129kg and extremely slow. It was normal for him not to make the playoffs. Their starting power forward is the famously bad contract Tom Gugliotta.

After leaving O'Neal, the Raptors failed to keep Brad Miller because the Pacers offered Miller a maximum salary, and Miller agreed without hesitation.

Miller asked the management if he could accept a sign-and-trade because he wanted to leave something for the team.

But except for Jaylen Rose, the Pacers' players are average. The most important thing the Raptors lack is a swingman, and the Pacers will not send away draft picks. Miller is a completely free agent, and they have no need to give the Raptors any benefits.

If they trade players, the Raptors' salary space will skyrocket, and they will have to pay luxury tax next season, and they may also trade for junk players. Of course, the Raptors don't want to be taken advantage of.

In the end, manager Glenn Gruward had no choice but to give priority to renewing the contracts of Vince Carter and role players, leaving centers Jerome James, Mark Jackson, and forward Matt Halprin.

The Raptors also signed several people in the free market. This time without Yang Rui's participation in making suggestions, the scouts' vision is not so good. Jerome Williams and Michael Bradley certainly cannot replace O'Neal Jr., and it is useless to play with too many players.

In addition, the management found Rick Carlisle to replace the Raptors head coach, which is a relatively reliable choice. But with two stars gone, the Raptors will be too weak inside next season and will already have flaws. It will be very difficult to defend the title.

The Lakers, the strongest team in the Western Conference, did not make a big deal. O'Neal and Kobe have locked up the team's salary space. With two superstars, other positions are destined to be worse. They just traded Lynch Hunter and the Bulls for Kareem Rush.

The Bulls have no shortage of swingmen. The point guard position failed to find a strong man in the free market, so they had to make trades. The power forward target Marshall was snatched away by the Wizards, and they could only find veteran Anthony Mason Jr. to replace him. Signing a veteran contract is very cheap, but the strength gap is obvious.

The famous trade between the Nets and the 76ers also happened.

The 76ers sent center Mutombo to the Nets in exchange for Van Horn and McCulloch. At this point, the 76ers will completely decline, because the team cannot live without defensive pillars. Although Van Horn has beautiful statistics, he is a defensive black hole.

The Nets also renewed the contract of swingman Stephen Jackson. The lineup has improved from last season. The offense is slightly worse, but the defense is better. Their goal is the championship.

The team affected is the Spurs. They currently do not have Tony Parker on the team, and the swingman has not dug up Jackson. The only good news is that the "Argentine Demon Sword" Ginobili has joined.

Under these conditions, Yang Rui feels that the Lakers have a greater chance of reaching the Finals next season than the Spurs.

At the end of July, a signing appeared that stunned Yang Rui.

The Knicks signed Larry Brown to a five-year, $30 million contract, and he succeeded Don Cheney as the team's new coach.

After seeing the glory of the Raptors, Larry Brown clearly realized that staying with the 76ers had no future, so he chose to resign early. Brown had conflicts with Iverson last season. He didn't want to continue arguing with Iverson when he couldn't win the ball.

Brown was willing to join the Knicks because of the No. 1 pick. When Yao Ming was still in China, Brown was optimistic about him and said in an interview: "As long as Yao Ming joins the NBA, he will use 4 years to make him a talent."

However, Yang Rui expressed doubts about whether Brown can do it, because this coach attaches too much importance to defense. When Yao Ming first entered the league, his confrontation ability was poor and his movement speed was slow. It is doubtful whether he can meet Brown's requirements.

Moreover, Brown is a coach who doesn't like to give opportunities to newcomers. In Yang Rui's previous life, he also praised the "parallel import number two" Milicic during the 2003 draft. What was the result?

Playing under Brown, Yao Ming's advantage is his character.

Brown, a hawkish coach with a fiery temper, never actually handles interpersonal relationships with players, especially players with unruly temperaments or lack of discipline. Iverson belongs to the former, and Milicic is the latter. Yao Ming is different from them. He is humble, honest and obedient, and he trains very hard.

Yao Ming is the pride of the Celestial Dynasty, and Yang Rui can't help him. What can he do? Is it better or worse than in the previous life? It all depends on fate.
