On September 10, "Resident Evil 2" was released in Los Angeles.

Yang Rui not only attended the premiere with his girlfriend Stana Katic, but also invited many friends from Hollywood, as well as Yao Ming and Ye Li.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Yao Ming never participated in such activities in the United States. Including his documentary film "Challenge Yao Ming", which was only screened in certain regions in the United States and had no premiere.

Yang Rui deceived Yao Ming: "Los Angeles is the entertainment capital of the world. If you want to be famous and recognized by fans, a shortcut is to show your personality and increase your exposure."

Yao Ming asked: "Is your personality like watching movies?"

"No, there are too many people watching the movie. The key is that you just need to smile to show your personality, go say hello and chat with the Hollywood stars, and let the reporters take photos."

Yao Ming participated. He is a game expert and is also very interested in "Resident Evil 2". At the press conference, he and his girlfriend became the focus, and they stood out from the crowd.

Sure enough, the next day many entertainment media released photos of Yao Ming with stars such as Colin Farrell and Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Some reporters were surprised to find that although they were from different countries, they could communicate with each other using their eyebrows.

The last movie had a good reputation, and the plot of the second movie is closer to the game, with a tight plot and more and more exciting fighting scenes.

In the second part, BOSS William, who is injected with the G virus and can evolve, appears. Matthew Vaughn arranged many chase scenes, which gave the audience a sense of oppression just like the liquid robots in "Terminator 2".

The investment cost of the movie of US$48 million has increased a lot, and the results are also very gratifying. The box office in the first three days reached US$27.7 million, and it has gained a good reputation.

The movie review said: "The perfect combination of zombie movies and action movies has continuously and effectively captured the attention of game fans and movie fans in the midst of changes."

"The reason why Resident Evil is better than Tomb Raider is that it is a continuous story that leaves a strong suspense at the end of each film and leads to the highlights of the next sequel."

"This new work brings many surprises to the audience. Leon is sunny and cute, the monsters are fierce and tenacious, and Alice takes over the roles of the heroines of the game such as Jill, Claire, and King Ada."

In Yang Rui's previous life, "Resident Evil 2" was much worse than this one, failing to bring tension and excitement to movie fans. The final boss battle was simply a typical case of anticlimactic start and finish. The magically modified version of Alice falls off the bridge, Leon escapes with the little Lolita, and Alice is not dead as an Easter egg at the end of the film, making many fans look forward to the third film.

On Media Day on September 26, Lakers players gathered at the Staples Center.

In addition to the 14 players confirmed in the summer, there are still two players to represent the team in preseason games. Kupchak found defenders Terry Brown and Anthony Pillar.

The management asked for Yang Rui's consent, and Yang Rui agreed, but it was of little significance.

Brown joined the NBA in the non-draft process. He is 25 years old, 188cm tall and weighs 86kg. He has been a fringe player for the Rockets, Cavaliers and Hornets. He has played a total of 57 games in three seasons and is a point guard with no characteristics.

Veteran Piller is 35 years old this year and has rich experience. He is 193cm tall and 94kg. He is strong and plays shooting guard. He can shoot three-pointers and his style is similar to Hoiberg.

He is characterized by his strong martial arts skills, and the highlight of his career was knocking his former teammate Garnett to the ground with an iron elbow, and he was suspended for two games, but what the Lakers need is not a thug.

This year's free market lacks good point guards, and the Lakers cannot exchange for potential point guards. The most valuable veteran Gary Payton has renewed his contract with the Heat. Yang Rui no longer expects strong immediate combat effectiveness at the No. 1 position, and is preparing to train Mo Williams.

Kupchak also wants to give Kings veteran center Verratti Divac a 4.9 million contract to let him play for the Lakers for one year. It is really uncomfortable without spending money.

Last season, Divac averaged 28.6 minutes per game, scored 9.9 points, 5.7 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 1 block, and shot 47% from the field.

Divac's data is very confusing, but Yang Rui knows that he can't run at all.

The Kings' record last season was not good either. In his previous life, Divac averaged 2.3 points, 2.1 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game after joining the Lakers. He was a marginal player.

Therefore, Yang Rui voted against Divac, not to save money for the Lakers, but because introducing Divac would not benefit him at all. On the surface, the Lakers' lineup looks stronger, but in reality it is of no use at all. It can't produce statistics. Some people may also question him for wasting veterans, which will affect his bid for the best coach.

After that, Divac joined the Charlotte Bobcats for 5 million a year and went to work with Jordan. Jordan fancifully wanted to find a master for Okafor to practice supporting passing skills and develop offensive abilities.

This is doomed to fail. Centers such as Divac and Brad Miller provide excellent support. The premise is that they have the ability to make mid-range shots and can withdraw from the basket. Even if Okafor retires, he will still be a blue-collar player. If he leaves the penalty area, he will be shorted.

The Bobcats also failed to introduce Gerald Wallace in the summer, and are weaker than Yang Rui in his previous life.

Yang Rui arrived at the arena, greeted every player, and chatted for a few words.

In the summer, he called Iguodala, Ariza, and Mo Williams and asked them to take some time to practice three-pointers from the corner, which would be of great use.

As second-round picks, neither Ariza nor Mo Williams had the confidence to be reused. After receiving a call from Yang Rui, they became more motivated and practiced every day. They were basically idle during the holidays.

Iguodala trains equally hard, and the media say that his model is Pippen. It just so happens that the Lakers have Kobe who looks like Jordan. In an interview, he once expressed that he hopes to become a qualified partner beside Kobe.

The five Lakers took core makeup photos: Kobe, Yao Ming, Rasheed, Odom, and Iguodala.

Iguodala was particularly happy, and Yang Rui showed his attitude that he was ready to reuse him.

After taking the photo, Yang Rui called him aside to talk alone. "How was your shooting practice in the summer? Are you confident about three-pointers?"

Iguodala shook his head awkwardly. "I have a little confidence in the right corner, but other positions are worse..."

In fact, his shooting rate in the right corner is only 50% when practicing in the open position, and less than 40% in other positions. For professional players, this is tantamount to relying on blindness.

Yang Rui smiled and said: "That's fine. Take your time. Ask Kobe Bryant for offensive techniques in the training camp and practice defense in one-on-one matches with him."

"Yes!" Iguodala replied loudly, feeling relieved and worried that the three-point difference would affect his playing time.

Yang Rui is patient with Iguodala and knows that he can practice shooting well.

Kobe's career three-point shooting percentage in the regular season is 32.9%, and Iguodala's career three-point shooting percentage is 33.6%, which is slightly better. In the playoffs, Kobe shot 33.1% from three-point range and Iguodala shot 35.2%, which is even better. The data shows that he has great potential.

In Yang Rui's previous life, in the 2013 playoffs, Iguodala made 2.3 three-pointers in 4.8 attempts in six games, with a shooting percentage of 48.3%. After joining the Warriors, it became even more exaggerated. In the 2014 playoffs, he hit 53.3% of three-pointers. , 1.1 hits.

"Brother No. 1" made a lot of breakthroughs with the 76ers in the early stage. He mainly attacks with the ball. He takes few outside shots and faces high defense intensity. He has never coached three-pointers, so he still has time to train.

Yang Rui feels that "Brother No. 1" is too hard on strength training. In the first few years after he entered the league, he was still a normal person. Later, his biceps became terrifyingly big and his muscles were even more separated than James. He looked like a cartoon character. If the upper body muscles are too developed, it will definitely affect the shooting feel. Maggette is an example. As long as he doesn't train his upper body vigorously, his free throw and three-point shooting percentage may improve.
