On Feb. 1, the Clippers played the Cleveland Cavaliers again.

Before the game, the Little Emperor accepted last month's "Player of the Month" award at home, and the Eastern Conference Player of the Month award went to LeBron. James, the Gorillas averaged 29+8+8 per game in January, but this can only be considered the norm for him.

As James held the trophy in his hand, he glanced at his twin brothers in the distance without a trace, and couldn't help but laugh at himself: "I may be the player with the most quasi-triple-doubles in history, and I don't think anyone can compete with me for this honor." ”

The Western Conference Player of the Month for January was awarded to Cameron. Anthony, poor Durant had already won his first career Weekly Championship in mid-January, and he was very eager for this Monthly Awards, but the league still didn't award him.

The Clippers lost to the Cavaliers one time and are aiming for revenge today.

In the first three quarters of the game, the two teams played very closely, which was somewhat similar to the last game, but this time it was no longer the Cavaliers who played a wave in the fourth quarter, and the Cleveland suddenly collapsed in the final quarter, and they only scored 10 points in the quarter. The Clippers eventually outscored their opponents 104-85.

The Clippers went 33-10 in the fourth quarter to beat the Cavaliers, who had recently won six in a row.

Ji Guoqiu contributed 28 points, 14 rebounds, 4 assists and 3 blocks, and Ji Guoqiu 20 points, 10 rebounds, 5 assists and 3 blocks.

The Fox's score dropped today, but the Clippers used the Fox to defend the orangutan in the fourth quarter, which had an excellent effect, and James was only 4 points on 1-of-6 shooting in the fourth quarter. Although Ji Guoshi himself only scored 3 points in the fourth quarter, the two were against each other. Apparently it was the knights who suffered a greater loss.

February 3rd. The Clippers play the Bulls again. Before the game, there was a sudden news that shocked Clippers fans. Los Angeles Clippers owner Donard. A recording of a phone call from Sterling arguing with his black girlfriend of Mexican descent was exposed by local media, causing an uproar.

In the recording, Sterling warned his girlfriend not to take black people to watch the Clippers games, which made the topic of racial discrimination that touched the sensitive nerves of American society erupt again!

However, the news did not affect the Clippers for the time being, and they still beat the Bulls on the road to claim their 41st win of the season.

On Feb. 4, the Clippers traveled to Atlanta to challenge the Hawks.

Stirling's racism was not as thunderous as the previous ones. This time, the "racismgate" is showing a butterfly effect. After the discrimination incident was exposed, several sponsors of the Clippers immediately said that Tongguò would terminate the sponsorship agreement to draw a line with Sterling.

A spokesperson for Mercedes-Benz told the media that Mercedes-Benz will end its sponsorship with the Clippers as soon as possible. CARMAX, the largest used car retail chain in the United States, which has concluded a nine-year sponsorship contract with the Clippers, has made it clear that it will terminate its sponsorship relationship with the Clippers.

Celebrities from all walks of life have made statements condemning Sterling, even though many white people feel that Sterling is right, but they still jump out and take the opportunity to show their faces in the media.

Speaking before the game against the Eagles, Ji said: "Our team is on a tough road trip, and the games and running take up all our time, so we don't know much about it. The coaching staff in order not to affect our game. It has taken us away from the news and focused on the away game. ”

Ji Guoyi said: "Our boss sometimes does something stupid that even he will regret. But I think we should investigate this first. ”

The Clippers have avoided Sterling's troubles as a team, and Dead Fox is the one who talks the most, but it's all nonsense.

Sterling's incident still didn't affect the Clippers' game, the Hawks are no match for the Clippers, and even if they go back-to-back on the road, the defending champions still get through easily.

However, this discrimination incident is not as simple as Clippers fans imagined, and on February 6, four days after the incident, the topic of racial discrimination that touched the sensitive nerves of American society fermented again.

FIRST OF ALL, OTHER SPONSORS OF THE CLIPPERS SUCH AS KIA MOTORS, AMERICAN INSURANCE GIANT STATEFARM, ENERGY DRINK BRAND RED BULL, CHINA PEAK, ZTE MOBILE AND OTHER COMPANIES HAVE ALSO SAID THAT THEY HAVE SUSPENDED OR TERMINATED THEIR COOPERATION WITH THE CLIPPERS.

Sterling's casual remarks have put him in an embattled situation, and at the same time, many NBA team owners have also publicly stated that they want to kick Sterling out of the NBA, and the Clippers' two-year glory has finally allowed NBA owners to find a chance to fall into the ground.

Alexander the owner of the Houston Rockets jumped out first to build that the NBA president should turn all of the Clippers' players into free agents, thus forcing Sterling to sell his team.

Charlotte Bobcats owner Michael. "As a team owner, I obviously hate the pathological views of a peer who has no place in the NBA for racist remarks like Sterling," Jordan said. In a league full of mostly black players, we must not condone any kind of discrimination. We should kick him out of the league and turn the Clippers players into free agents, and give them the freedom to stay or leave, and you can't force players to play for an owner like that. ”

The remarks of these two completely detonated the entire league, and for a while, except for the Lakers' old Buss, who did not take the opportunity to fall into the ground, the rest of the team owners expressed their support, believing that the Clippers players should be allowed to leave or stay freely, and they have this right.

Everyone knows what these owners are planning to do, this is to take advantage of the opportunity to rob the animal brothers, everyone knows what it means to get these two players, and those teams that have the opportunity to sign the two will certainly not let go of this great opportunity to dismember the Clippers.

According to the NBA's official website, NBA commissioner David Silly. Turn, who also held a press conference in Manhattan, New York, on Feb. 6 announced the decision to punish Sterling for the racial discrimination scandal: a $2.5 million fine, the maximum fine under the league's bylaws.

In addition, Sterling will be banned for life, he will not be able to participate in the NBA board of directors and any other activities of the league, he will not be able to appear on the field and practice ground of any NBA games, and he will not be allowed to participate in any commercial activities of the Clippers, as well as appear in the management of the Clippers. It is worth mentioning that the penalty decision of the alliance takes effect immediately as soon as it is issued. At the press conference, David. Stern also apologized on behalf of the league to all black players.

In the meantime, many industry insiders believe that after the NBA's penalty decision is introduced, Sterling will face the dilemma of being forced to sell his team. It is said that there are already multiple consortiums that want to buy the Clippers, and the major financial news estimates the Clippers at between $2 billion and $2.5 billion.

The protagonist of this callgate, Donald. In an interview with Fox Sports, Sterling said he would never sell the Clippers.

However, this matter is no longer controlled by Sterling, and after the league announces the decision to punish Sterling, the NBA will initiate a vote of the league's shareholders, that is, the owners of each team, to decide whether to force Sterling to sell the team. There are reports that NBA commissioner Raheem Sterling has the support of 29 team owners, and Sterling's exit is no longer in doubt.

An analysis by ESPN, an American entertainment and sports television network, pointed out that Sterling's appeal is unlikely to succeed. Because he had signed the NBA Charter, Sterling's ruling and the vote of the league's shareholders were arbitral awards based on the statutes.

The Clippers players had already returned to Los Angeles as early as No. 5 to play the San Antonio Spurs at home on No. 7, but the players were stunned by the news. They couldn't imagine that they had only been away for a week, and that something so big had happened to the team. The black players in the team also expressed regret for the first time, after all, as Jordan said, more than eighty percent of the league are black, and Sterling's matter will not be as big as in the past.

On February 6, Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Brown, who had just been banned for life by the league, was borne. Sterling finally spoke to CNN and said he had made a "terrible mistake" and begged for forgiveness.

"I'm not a racist, I'm just a person who made horrible mistakes, and I'm here to apologize and ask for forgiveness."

This is also the first time that Sterling has been interviewed by the media since the tape of his racist remarks was exposed. As for why it took so long to come forward, Sterling explained that he was "very flustered" because it happened so quickly.

At the same time, Sterling defended what he said on tape: "I knew what I said was wrong, but I never thought that this private conversation would be made public. I didn't want her to bring anyone to watch my game, and that's because I was jealous. Asked if he felt he was being calculated, Sterling said: "When I listened to the recording myself, I had no idea why I said that...... I felt like I was being 'fished'. ”

Sterling's justification and apology, of course, were aimed at saving the Clippers, for which he also shouted aggrievedly: "Just because I made a mistake, they are going to deprive me of the team I have worked so hard to run for 32 years?" I love the league, I love all the partners, but now because of such a mistake is going to take away my qiē? I knew it was a terrible mistake and I wouldn't do it again. ”

Many people secretly gloat, of course you were "fished", but who made you so beautiful in the past two years, the so-called wall down and everyone pushed it, it is the same everywhere.

The major media also interviewed the animal brothers for the first time, and they all wanted to hear what they had to say.

Ji Guoqiu didn't bother to care about his own boss, and he was likely to leave next season, so he just said perfunctorily: "They are all adults, and they must solve this matter by themselves." We didn't know what was going on, so we left it to the league, and our first responsibility was to the Clippers fans. The Clippers' next game against the Spurs is not going to be an easy game, especially when this happened to us, and the Clippers players have to focus on this game. ”

Ji Guoyi said with a smile: "I think our boss has been punished enough, and now his team may not be able to keep it, this is already the most severe punishment for him." As for the two of us, as the core of the team, of course we have to stand up at this time and tell our fans that even if the sky falls, there are still two of us brothers on top, and they can put a hundred hearts at ease.
