Summary

In August, Rudy Guy joined the Celtics for five years and $80 million, expressing gratitude to Yang Rui for his patience. A violent incident in Los Angeles involved Justin Bieber being beaten by Thomas Ben Te Li, a friend of Yang Rui, which netizens celebrated due to Bieber's notorious reputation. Despite his past controversies, Bieber's visit to Japan's Yasukuni Shrine angered Chinese fans, leading Yang Rui to support Thomas online. Yang Rui has gained attention in China by sponsoring young players to play in the U.S., aiming to enhance their skills and improve the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA), which has struggled to develop local talent. The CBA, while popular, has become heavily reliant on foreign players, limiting opportunities for domestic players.

Yang Rui expressed confidence in Booker, who faces pressure from strong perimeter players on the Clippers. This led to Allen Crabbe requesting a trade due to limited playing time, resulting in his transfer to the Pelicans for a second-round draft pick.
