Chapter 272 [Star Party, Super Lakers]

Jennifer - Aniston and Brad - Pitt's wedding held a luxurious atmosphere, many Hollywood stars, celebrities were present, and countless fans also sent blessings to the couple online.

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

Lakers number one fan Jack Nicholson 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 heads-up, it's right here." Yang Rui put on a classic pose of Jet Li's version of Huang Feihong, like "I know Chinese Kung Fu".

The people next to him all laughed, and Nicholson also smiled, bent over, opened his arms and hugged Yang Rui. "You're the same as on TV. It's really interesting. How about being the head coach of the Lakers after the contract expires?"

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

Nicholson raised his glass and said loudly, "To the best young coach."

Yang Rui chatted with Nicholson for a while, and learned that he is a die-hard basketball fan and a loyal Lakers spectator.

After leaving a phone call, Yang Rui went to Stana and saw that she was chatting with Leonardo DiCaprio.

"Hi, Jerry Yang, nice to meet you, your girlfriend is amazing, we were talking about movies just now, she will definitely become a star." "Little Plum" smiled.

"Thank you, Leon."

Leonardo leaned over to Yang Rui and whispered, "Actually, I came to strike up a conversation. I thought she didn't have a male partner, but she refused without thinking about it. It made me very embarrassed."

"..." Yang Rui thought to himself, do you have any face for telling me?

"Little Lizi" is single now. He came by himself today. After a few chats, he is going to find other targets. "This is my business card. You can add my Minion account when you are free."

Yang Rui put away the delicate business card and shivered when he remembered the stories he had to tell 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, she found a corner to sit down and was relieved.

"how do you feel?"

"I can't breathe. I never thought I could see so many stars at one time. I feel like Cinderella... just an ordinary girl, but now I can be here." Stanna looked at Yang Rui affectionately and sighed with emotion .

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

Yang Rui also thinks so. In his previous life, he often saw celebrity couples from the Celestial Dynasty show their affection on variety shows, and some of them showed great enthusiasm even after divorce.

"Leonardo came to strike up a conversation just now, didn't he startle? He just likes a beauty with your body." Yang Rui was a little proud. Now that Leonardo is popular, it's not easy to refuse him.

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

The environment creates people. In Hollywood, even non-romantic women can say romantic words. Yang Rui directly leaned over for a deep French kiss.

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

"Tom, are you too ignorant? Shouldn't you just pretend you didn't see it and avoid it?" Yang Rui sighed.

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

Stana blushed fiercely, and Yang Rui asked, "Why are you still alone, haven't you approached any female star?"

Thomas broke up with the previous girlfriend who laughed like Zeng Xiaoxian.He knew that he was going to attend the wedding, so he was ready to approach actresses a month in advance, and he made a surprise study of film and entertainment industry knowledge.

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

Yang Rui understands this guy's character. If the other party is serious about love, he will only be under a lot of pressure, and it doesn't matter if he doesn't care.

Of course, there are many unspoken rules in Hollywood and they have a long history, but the unspoken ones are generally B-movie actors.Hollywood's big stars have connections and backgrounds, and the paparazzi are watching. If there is any bad behavior, they will be exposed immediately.

For example, Kristen Stewart, who cheated on the married director in 2012, has seen a sharp decline in popularity after being exposed.This is not a consequence that female stars can bear.

The celebrities who come to the wedding are somewhat famous, how can they casually get involved with an outsider like Thomas?
At the end of the wedding, the two newlyweds handed over the shooting rights of the only wedding photo to a French media, and all the expenses were donated to charity.

Yang Rui and Stana went to Chicago for vacation again. He usually contacts the management by phone and the Internet, reads the news, and pays attention to the latest developments in the NBA.

That big four-way trade that cursed the Knicks still happened.

The Knicks acquired veterans Glen Rice and Tervez Best from the Lakers; veteran Luke Longley from the Suns; Maxwell, Stampania, Lazaru- Burrell.

All but two veterans are non-guaranteed contract players who can be cut outright.

The Sonics acquired Patrick Ewing for almost nothing.

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

The Suns acquire Chris Dudley and a future first-round pick.

Ewing's state declined, and he could no longer help the Knicks to reach the championship. Team manager Scott Laydon sent him away as a burden.The problem is that Longley and Rice are clearly the bigger burdens.

Langley has been unable to move slowly, and has no effect except to resist people in the penalty area.Rice was in serious decline with the Lakers and was just an ordinary role player with poor defense.

In Yang Rui's previous life, in the 1999-2001 season, Layden was the executive vice president and general manager of the Knicks, and in the 2001-2003 season, he served as the team's chairman and general manager.During Layden's reign, the Knicks he ran were named "the worst team in sports" by ESPN. Ewing was replaced, and everything went the same way.

In this big deal, the Suns and the Lakers earned.

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

The 35-year-old Grant still scored 8.1 points, 7.8 rebounds and 2.5 assists in the SuperSonics last season.

The Lakers also signed free agent Isiah Ryder with a veteran minimum salary.

The 196CM 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 is the team's top scorer.

Although Ryder is a problem player and has always been incompatible with head coach Wilkens in the Hawks, he is called a cancer, but the price is too outrageous.

The depth of this super Lakers lineup is recognized as the strongest in the league, ready for next season's championship.
