The Pope of Basketball Community

Chapter 271 [Star Party, Super Lakers]

Jennifer Aniston and Brad Pitt's wedding was held in a luxurious atmosphere. Many Hollywood stars and celebrities were present, and countless movie fans also sent their blessings to the newlyweds online. ?

Yang Rui and Stana Katic attended in costumes. He is also an internationally famous figure now, and everyone is willing to chat with him and take photos.

Jack Nicholson, the Lakers' number one fan, stopped him. "Jerry Yang, it's so unpleasant to see you here. Do you dare to go to the swimming pool with me for a duel?"

"If you want a one-on-one challenge, let's do it here." Yang Rui put on a Jet Li version of Huang Feihong's classic pose, looking like "I know Chinese Kung Fu."

Everyone next to him laughed, and Nicholson also smiled and bent down, opened his arms and hugged Yang Rui. "You look just like you do on TV. It's so interesting. How about becoming the head coach of the Lakers after your contract expires?"

"Haha, when Phil Jackson gives up his position, I will definitely consider it seriously. I like Los Angeles, and I like you big stars even more."

Nicholson raised his glass and shouted: "Here's to the best young coach."

Yang Rui chatted with Nicholson for a while and learned that he was a die-hard basketball fan and a loyal spectator of the Lakers. However, he was not loyal to him. He was just close to home and convenient for watching games.

After exchanging phone numbers, Yang Rui went to find Stana and actually saw her chatting with Leonardo DiCaprio.

"Hi, Jerry Yang, nice to meet you. Your girlfriend is very good. We were just talking about movies. She will definitely become a star." Xiao Lizi said with a smile.

"Thanks, Leon."

Leonardo approached Yang Rui and said, "Actually, I came here to strike up a conversation. I thought she didn't have a male partner, but she refused without even thinking about it, which made me very embarrassed."

"..." Yang Rui thought to himself,

Tell me, will it save you face?

"Little Plum" is single now. He came by himself today and chatted for a few words. He is ready to find other targets. "This is my business card. You can add me as a Minion when you have time."

Yang Rui put away the exquisite business card and shuddered as he recalled the stories he had to share with his 56 long-legged girlfriends in his previous life.

Does this guy think that he and I are the same kind of people and have a common language?

Stana hugged him, her palms were sweaty, and she found a corner to sit down before breathing a sigh of relief.

"how do you feel?"

"I can't breathe. I never thought I could meet so many stars at once. I feel like Cinderella...just an ordinary girl, but now she is here." Stana looked at Yang Rui affectionately and sighed. .

When men and women fall in love, sending flowers, eating, and watching movies are all too cliché. It is really romantic to show affection on such a big occasion.

Yang Rui felt the same way. In his previous life, he often saw Chinese celebrity couples showing off their affection on variety shows. Some of them showed off their love with great enthusiasm even after they were divorced.

"Leonardo came to chat with her just now. Were you shocked? He likes beauties with a figure like yours." Yang Rui was a little proud. Now that Leonardo is famous, it is not easy to refuse him.

"I think you are more handsome than him, he looks too childish." Stana smiled.

Environment makes people. In Hollywood, even non-romantic women can say romantic words. Yang Rui directly leaned in for a deep French kiss.

Until a voice came from behind. "Are you here?"

"Tom, are you too ignorant? Shouldn't you pretend not to see it and go around now?" Yang Rui sighed.

"I'm afraid that you two have played too much and will go deeper here..." Thomas said hehey.

Stana blushed fiercely, and Yang Rui asked: "Why are you still alone and haven't you chatted with any female celebrities?"

Thomas broke up with his previous girlfriend who smiled like Zeng Xiaoxian. He knew he was going to attend the wedding, so he made preparations to chat with the actress a month in advance, and did research on movies and the entertainment industry.

"Hollywood is more realistic than I imagined. I thought that just because of my image, even if I didn't say anything about Facebook, many people would like it. Now it seems that my charm is not even close." Thomas laughed at himself, not very much. Disappointed look.

Yang Rui understands this guy's character. If the other person is serious about love, he will only be under a lot of pressure and no one will care about him.

Of course there are many unspoken rules in Hollywood and they have a long history, but those who are unspoken are usually B-movie actors. The big-name stars in Hollywood have connections and backgrounds, and the paparazzi are watching them. If they do something bad, they will be exposed immediately.

For example, Kristen Stewart cheated on a married director in 2012, and her popularity dropped sharply after it was exposed. This is not a consequence that female stars can bear.

The celebrities who came to the wedding were all somewhat famous, so how could they have a casual relationship with an outsider like Thomas?

After the wedding, the two newlyweds handed over the rights to take the only wedding photo to a French media, and all the proceeds were donated to charity.

Yang Rui and Stana went to Chicago for vacation again. He usually contacted the management by phone and the Internet, read the news, and followed the latest NBA developments.

The four-way trade that cursed the Knicks still happened.

The Knicks acquired veterans Glenn Rice and Telvis Best from the Lakers; they acquired veteran Luke Longley from the Suns; they acquired Maxwell, Stampagna, and Lazarou Burr from the Suns. Riel.

Except for the two veterans, everyone else is a non-guaranteed contract player who can be directly waived.

Yin acquired Patrick Ewing for almost nothing.

The Lakers acquired "Cobra" Horace Grant, Greg Foster, Chuck Berson, and Emmanuel Davis.

The Suns received Chris Dudley and a future-round draft pick.

Ewing's condition declined and he could no longer help the Knicks win the championship. Team manager Scott Layden sent him away as a liability. The problem is, Longley and Rice are obviously bigger burdens.

Longley has been too slow to hit, and has no effect except resisting people in the penalty area. Rice's form has seriously declined in the Lakers, and he is just an ordinary role player with poor defense.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Layden was the executive vice president and general manager of the Knicks in the 1999-2001 season. In the 2001-2003 season, he served as the team chairman and general manager. During Layden's tenure, the Knicks he ran were dubbed "the worst team in sports" by ESPN. After Ewing was replaced, everything went back to its original path.

In this big deal, the Suns and Lakers gained.

The Suns cleared out the junk contract and got a draft pick. The Lakers not only cleared up Rice's junk contract, but also strengthened the inside line.

The 35-year-old Grant was still able to score 8.1 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists last season. He is a top blue-collar insider. He was selected to the All-Star in 1994 and was selected to the All-Defensive Team four times.

The Lakers also signed free agent Isaiah Lederer to a veteran's minimum salary.

The 196m swingman Ryder is not a veteran at all. He is only 29 years old. He averaged 19.3 points, 4.3 rebounds and 3.7 assists per game for the Hawks last season and was the team's leading scorer.

Although Leder is a problematic player who has always been incompatible with head coach Wilkens in the Hawks and is known as a cancer, the price is too outrageous.

The depth of this Lakers' lineup is recognized as the strongest in the league, and they are ready to compete for the championship next season. 8
