In July and August, the Lakers and Cavaliers were seen as top championship contenders. The Lakers strengthened their roster by signing several veterans and re-signing athletic players. However, after the World Championship, the Clippers gained media attention, particularly with Yang Rui and Griffin, who became fan favorites. Yang Rui's success in the entertainment industry was highlighted, especially with the release of "Twilight: Eclipse," which performed well at the box office. The film "Despicable Me," featuring the Minions, became a massive hit, surpassing expectations and achieving a global box office of $1.08 billion, ranking fourth in all-time history. Yang Rui received the title "Father of the Minions" due to this success. In September, LeBron James made headlines with his ambitious statement about winning multiple championships for the Cavaliers. Yang Rui found it amusing, considering the competition with the Clippers. Yang Rui, during a media day for the Clippers, announced core players and expressed confidence in their potential, particularly Rudy Guy, whom he compared to Iguodala. Yang Rui's strategy involved an aggressive playing style, reminiscent of his Raptors days, and he believed Chris Paul could achieve MVP status if he executed the team's tactics well. The Clippers aimed to establish themselves as a formidable team in the upcoming season.
