Chapter 273: [The situation is grim, Shali panning for gold]

When Yang Rui went to Los Angeles to find Thomas Bentley, he was already crazy.
Thomas met a lot of celebrities at the wedding, loved the excitement itself, attended many parties, and found a b-level film actor named Gina Fleck as his girlfriend.
Gina is pretty, blond and hot, but her name Yang Rui has no impression at all. She should not be very famous in the future, at least not a big-name actress.
Yang Rui, Thomas's private life, has rarely asked, but I heard that he attended the party of Charlie Sean, but he still couldn't help but make comments.
"Tom, we have money now, and our lives are very good, but we must have a limit to play, and we must not lose ourselves. People like Charlie Sean, I suggest you do not have contact with him."
"Not so serious?" Thomas smiled.
"I don't want to see you in the AIDS hospital in the future. He might live next door by then. Are you serious?" Yang Ruizheng said.
"Reassure that I have a sense of justice, I will not get drugs."
"Cannabis will not work."
"Okay, I must pay attention."
In the United States, drug use is a relatively common phenomenon, and about 8 teenagers have taken drugs or have used them. In the past life of Yang Rui, it is well known that Obama and Clinton admitted to taking drugs when they were young, but they did not get addicted in time.
Each year, 4 million people in the United States suffer from alcohol, smoking and drug abuse, of which 460,000 deaths are related to drug abuse. Every year, hundreds of billions of dollars are lost to traffic accidents, unemployment, crime and medical expenses caused by drug abuse, alcoholism and smoking.
Because fame is too fast and too much money in hand, many celebrities are addicted to drugs and take drug use as a fashionable thing. At private parties in Hollywood, people can always find some stars smoking marijuana or inhaling cocaine through their noses, which is not news.
Charlie Sean is one of the more famous, known as "negative manufacturing machine". In Yang Rui’s previous life, he suffered premature aging due to overdose in 2o11, and his teeth fell out. Later, he became infected with AIDS.
Even if people just smoke marijuana, there will be some sequelae, the reaction is slower, and the memory becomes worse. The promising nba player Michael Beasley is so wasteful.
Thomas showed his determination with his actions and returned to the Silicon Valley company to collect his heart; Steiner got the role of the film dragon set and went to the acting; Yang Rui returned to Toronto alone to worry about the signing.
The Raptors have a tough summer situation. When Christie, McGrady and Hornacek leave, the Raptors lose three swingers. Carter doesn't even have a qualified substitute. If Carter changes to a shooting guard, the small forward position would have to make Jumaine Jones definitely unqualified.
Michael Reed is only a rookie. It is difficult to guarantee a stable state of playing. It is not enough for him to be a new player.
At the end of July, the Raptors still failed to sign the right player. The other teams are like uniting against the Raptors, not only digging the Raptors for a large price, but also not trading with the Raptors.
Glenn contacted veteran Sabonis and hoped he would come to the Raptors as a meat shield against O'Neill. But the high center, who can organize and shoot, chose to stay with the Blazers and continue to play, even if the team has no future.
His reason is that he is used to living in Portland and he doesn't want to change his environment. He also wants to continue playing and he doesn't want to go to Canada to be a pensioner.
The veteran who rejected the Raptors also had swingman Cedric Cebarros, who was the Lakers leader last season and averaged 16.6 points, 6.7 rebounds and 1.3 assists in the Mavericks. This is also a disobedient old, only 31 years old, unwilling to accept the basic salary.
Some people also contacted the Raptors management actively, and then recommended themselves. For example, Oliver Miller, who played in the Raptors, Yang Rui disagreed.
Miller's weight is similar to last year's technology stocks. It has been a daily limit. In 1996 and 1997, he was at least able to see his body shape when he was a Raptor. Now he is 2o6cm tall and weighs 142 kg. There is a trend of continued growth.
He may be the player with the highest unit density in the history of the league. American fans gave him an indecent nickname-the invincible first fat pig in the universe.
Yang Rui expressed doubts about his ability. He moved too slowly, and it was useless to simply make a meat shield. What should O'Neill pull out and pick him up? Watching the guard break through the layup?
Another option is non-draft player Gas Joseph, who is 218cm tall and weighs 143kg. He was born in 1973. The white man was drafted as a rookie and performed well in the summer league.
Last season, Austrian Fat's statistics were too horrible. The management felt that they needed a strong man to fight against them. The famous ones were too expensive. They could only find such things that no one wanted.
This was also denied by Yang Rui. He did not have the impression of Gas-Joseph, and his strength was not good.
Yang Rui proposed to exchange cash for the second-round rookie. The Rockets originally wanted to send Nahula to the Mavericks. When they saw the Raptors wanted, they were left as baby.
For three consecutive years, Yang Rui has brought out excellent newcomers. The players he likes are directly recognized by other team management as having potential. The Pistons management also firmly left Brian Cardinal for this reason.
Can't trade this year's rookie, Yang Rui raided the free market list, and checked the rookie data of the previous seasons to see if there were any free agents who were famous in the past life, and no one is now interested.
On August 1, Yang Rui and Glenn Groward met in the manager's office.
Glenn grinned bitterly to compensate. "Jerry, I'm really sorry that I drove you back during the holidays. I didn't expect the signing work to be so difficult this summer."
"It's okay, I'm not going to be guilty when I come back, the key is to solve the problem, isn't it? Those who don't want to join the Raptors, we don't need to force, teams that don't want to trade, leaving those people they may not use .. I don't care about these." Yang Rui smiled.
Glenn was immediately relieved. He felt that with this unpretentious attitude, Yang Rui deserved the best coach award and was not inferior to any famous coach. In the past, the Raptors head coach led the team with poor performance, and they knew they were complaining about shirk their responsibility, the gap was too big.
Glenn asked, "How is it? Is there anyone you want to introduce?"
"There are four candidates. If there is not much surprise, they can all sign the contract smoothly." Yang Rui laughed: "And you don't have to worry about the salary scale, all four people don't need big contracts."
Yang Rui wrote the player information on a piece of paper with a brief introduction and handed it to Glenn.
The first is the 37-year-old veteran Mario Elli~EbookFREE.me~ is 196cm tall and weighs 95 kg. He has won the 94 and 95 season championships with the Rockets and 99 years with the Spurs. The experience is rich.
Last season he played in the Spurs' regular season in 79 games, averaging 28.1 minutes, averaging 7.5 points, 3.2 rebounds and 2.4 assists.
The Spurs didn't renew their contract with Mario because he was in poor playoff form, averaging 28.8 minutes per game with the Suns, scoring 7.5 points, 4.3 rebounds and 1.8 assists, shooting 27.3 from the field and 14.3 from the 3-point range.
Yang Rui explained: "I think his poor playoff performance is due to Duncan's absence. The Spurs have no stars to attract the offense on the offensive end and can't open up space. He is good at playing without the ball and the shooting rate is so low. The Raptors But the defending champion, I think he will be interested. And the Raptors' tactics are suitable for him, he should be able to see."
"Then I will contact his agent soon."
