541: Listen to the wow sound

In the entertainment industry, the saying "There is no airtight wall in the world..." is definitely the best explanation. It has already made the media very curious when it appeared together at the premiere. At this moment, with Sterling's company, he officially entered the office of the Clippers Chairman, and there is no secret to it.

Although the alliance has not made any public information, American journalists with great powers have already found out that Sterling really sold his shares, and the one who took over was Li Donglai. There is a very interesting news that it is said that Li Donglai did not want to sell Apple shares with the right returns to work capital, and the money spent on buying the Clippers was lent to him by Sterling.

"Wow……"

As soon as the news came out, the whole of the United States was filled with wow noises.

Is this still the stingy Sterling? Is this still the Sterling who only knows how to get cheap and pay for it? His thinking is that money will always be the first. For money, not to mention selling players, it is OK to sell the Clippers, but it depends on the price the other party pays. Sterling is very famous. He is not as alternative as Mavericks boss Cuban, nor is he as good at calculating as Bulls boss Reinsdorf. He is famous for relying on scandals after scandal.

First of all, he is known for being stingy. After purchasing the Clippers in 1981, he rarely offered big contracts for players and was very stingy with coaches and general managers. He ranked first in the ranking of poor bosses selected by the US Sports Illustrated. When he first moved to Los Angeles, the Clippers' home court was the Los Angeles Stadium, where the facilities were outdated. The Lakers did not play in this stadium 20 years ago. In the first three years of coming to Los Angeles, the Clippers averaged less than 8,500 spectators. But this number has doubled compared to when they were in San Diego. Sterling never thought of moving because the average rent of this stadium was only a few thousand dollars, and the team was easy to make a profit.

But what she has done now is almost going to make Americans re-know him.

It means that Li Donglai bought half of the Clippers without spending a penny... Oh, I forgot to say something, Sterling did not withdraw immediately, but continued to serve as the honorary chairman of the Clippers. In the new season, the big-bellied rich man will continue to sit on his exclusive wèizhi to watch the game.

Professional media conducted an analysis and found a partner at the team's loss stage. This move was very smart and wise. In addition, David Stern was probably the happiest to be happy.

Everyone in the league knows that Sterling is the least likely boss. Sterling dares to let David Stern lay off and made a big joke about the NBA. In 2010, at the Las Vegas Labor Conference, bosses from various teams gathered, and Stern was the one who presided over the meeting. Some conversations took place.

Sterling: "You won't want to listen to me." Sterling: "No. I want to hear it." Sterling: "You don't want to." Sterling: "No, let's hear it." Sterling: "Okay, I want to fire you. You have a good idea of ​​market operations, but you lack tough measures for the league."

What happened later, the anonymous source did not disclose further.

Now that Sterling wants to retire, she chooses to hand over the team he has run for his life to a Chinese. Now, don’t worry about not having a Chinese market after losing Yao Ming.

Yao Ming was reimbursed for surgery last season, but he has been unable to recover since then. Until now, his stress fracture of his left ankle is still very serious, so the Rockets are unable to give a specific return schedule now. It is possible that he will have to undergo major surgery again. It is estimated that he is not far from retirement. But now the owners of the Clippers are all Chinese. Even if Yao Ming retires, the Chinese are likely to regard the Clippers as their home team.

Furthermore, Li Donglai is very popular, and it is still unknown what impact it will bring after taking over the Clippers.

The whole world knows that he has good skills and can beat the old Barkley. During the NBA games, he made wave after wave of news because of his single fight with ESPN host and NBA Hall of Fame member Barkley. And he is also a big Hollywood director and big star. Los Angeles is the world of Hollywood, and celebrities may choose to support their own Clippers.

The media scrambled to interview NBA celebrities and Clippers.

Griffin said: "He is a fan of Li Donglai and is looking forward to the start of the new season soon." Michael Jordan, also one of the NBA bosses, is happy to buy the Clippers. "This is a win-win deal. Li has a good image and popularity. His arrival may bring more popularity beyond competition to the NBA. I heard that he plays well in basketball, so I want to have time to ask him out to play a game."

A reporter from The New York Times interviewed Lakers boss Bass. He was very sorry for his old friend Sterling's choice to retreat to the second line, but he supported Sterling's decision. "This is a wise guy. He made a great deal of selling." Sterling laughed after learning about the interview.

Across the Pacific, Chinese media always get news late. When American journalists were already digging three feet to print out specific information for the contract, they were still suspicious. The title of the report also had a questionable tone, or it was simply a question mark. Li Donglai bought the NBA team? This news is a hundred times more influential than the news that Hong Kong wealthy businessmen went to the Premier League to hunt for gold.

After all, Chinese football is too bad, and basketball is the leader in Asia.

Fans ran around and told me that they had a foreshadowing that after the start of the season, they would pay more attention to one team. The media could not confirm the authenticity of the news, but they would never dispel their increasingly urgent desire for knowledge.

On Baidu's keyword search rankings, since the spread of the news, "Li Donglai + Clippers" has soared to the first place in search with a speed of flying.

So far, the reason why David Stern has not announced the news immediately was that he was entrusted by Li Donglai, saying that he hoped to give him some time so that he could organize the team without any disturbance.

But now seeing the outside world that has been rumored to be very rumored, the idea of ​​secretly developing is not working, and the alliance is not hiding, so it simply held a press conference to officially announce the information about Li Donglai taking over the Clippers.

It is also announced that two games of the Clippers vs Rockets China Tour have been arranged for the new season preseason.

Now there is no need to be suspicious.

Chinese fans were in a state of excitement. Brother Donglai was a great man and became the NBA boss silently. Yao Ming also bought the Shanghai team wholly, but the media mixed praise. Although he was a money-losing guy, this was the origin of Yao Yao's dream. He took over the mess and successfully completed the field surpassing.

But now that Brother Donglai doesn’t spend a penny to buy the Clippers, no one will say he will lose money.

ccav5 specially added a special episode of the NBA Night Clippers, inviting Bricks to discuss the current situation and history of the Clippers. It would be fine if the Clippers' record in the past is not to mention it. After Brother Donglai took over, the Chinese people were willing to believe that it would go better. The only thing worth worrying is that the labor contract will expire next year and may face the risk of shutdown. CCTV's previous broadcasts were all Rockets, and is now urgently discussing the authority to broadcast the Clippers with the NBA.

Not only Chinese fans are paying attention, but all Asian media are paying attention. Needless to say, Japan has good football skills, but basketball can only play soy sauce in Asia. Japanese players almost entered the NBA several times, but in the end they failed.

South Korea is also another base camp for Lee Donglai. How popular Lee Donglai in the past is, it gives people the impression that he is a genius director and a super popular idol actor. Who would have thought that he would become one of the NBA bosses overnight. In the eyes of many Asian people, NBA bosses are synonymous with the rich.

The strong alliance made Li Donglai's reputation even higher.

Compared to Americans who searched for Li Donglai but could not get interviews. Korean media could interview insider information without having to travel across the ocean. After Girls' Generation attended a popular song collectively, Yoona was interviewed by a reporter to ask if the matter was informed.

Yoona was a little embarrassed and said truthfully, "That night in UFC, both sides started trading. I was next to her. Donglai Ouba likes NBA very much and is very excited about having the opportunity to buy the Clippers. I believe he will do better."

The media asked: "Will you go to the scene to watch the game when the new season starts?"

Yoona's face was hot and she kept fanning her hands, but she still said generously: "If I had time, I would come to the scene to cheer." These media were satisfied. Girls' Generation was entering the European and American markets. Maybe it would not take long before Girls' Generation will be seen in the Staples Center.

Korean fans could not tolerate Yoona's relationship at all, but after that, "Inception" was overwhelmed worldwide, they were unable to resist. Now that Li Donglai has gradually grown, they have begun to subtly accept the facts. The only thing that makes Girls Generation fans angry is that Li Donglai is too fickle and has two girlfriends.

Compared with the magic princess Emma, ​​Yunbao obviously has no advantage in fame. If even the fans abandon it, they will have no chance of winning, so they turn to support their idols.

"Oh... he is so mean!"

When Li Donglai joined the Clippers, the first thing he did was to spend 3 million US dollars to decorate the Clippers' locker room into the most luxurious leisure place in the NBA.

The luxury locker room with multi-functional yiti is spread by the media under the leadership of Gotty. The Clippers players are very excited and can't wait to see what the locker room will look like.

Of course, not everyone raised their hands to welcome Li Donglai's arrival.

When the new boss comes, he naturally wants to achieve something. The most intuitive reflection is naturally the team's record next season. So the Clippers' current bad lineup is impossible. The only thing that can be done is that the star members with stronger trading.

As expected, many old teammates will no longer be able to play together in the new season.

In fact, not only the players expected this, but many bosses also expected it.
