Chapter 641 [Bad Boss, Next Stop]

In mid-April, the NBA regular season ended, with the Spurs having the best record with 63 wins, the Lakers in second place with only 57 wins, followed by the Mavericks, Nuggets, Trail Blazers, Warriors, Jazz, and Thunder.

Griffin, the Clippers' top pick, reimbursed the season, relying on the play of Eric Gordon, Carman, Camby, Dunleavy Jr. and others to achieve 23 wins, and the mess was not thorough enough, ranking 13th in the West; The Kings are 14 and the Timberwolves are at the bottom of the league with only 15 wins.

Clippers owner Donald Sterling wants the Clippers to pick a high-pick rookie with the worst record, and coach Dunleavy's serious coaching led to the failure of the plan, which was the primary reason for his midterm cut.

This is the contradiction between the coach and the boss, and the elder Dunleavy has always regarded himself as a famous coach, and it is a shame for him to be bad. But for Raheem Sterling, if he doesn't mess up any season, it's uncomfortable.

The Eastern Cavaliers are in first place with 61 wins, and the 2-8 places are the Hawks, Magic, Celtics, Heat, Raptors, Bulls, and Bobcats.

Stephen Curry and Al Horford were really defended by Ellis again, only ranked ninth and did not make the playoffs. But Ellis was selected as an All-Star in the middle of the game, averaging 25.5 points, 4 rebounds, 5.3 assists and 2.2 steals per game.

Ellis also said the magical remarks similar to "Kobe first, I second, James third", I don't know where he got his confidence after leaving the Lakers and never entered the playoffs.

The teams at the bottom of the East are the Pistons, Nets, and Wizards. The Wizards have 17 wins and have never rotted the Timberwolves.

Yang Rui started practicing kung fu this month, and he has given up cleaning up Scarlett, practicing tai chi, in order to enhance his physique. Prevent disease.

The three daughters went out to work, and Scarlett entered the "Avengers" crew and continued to play the role of "Black Widow" Natasha Normanoff.

Stana filmed "Resident Evil 5", the plot is still based on the game, but the protagonist is replaced by Alice.

Nina went to promote the movie "Twilight 3", which will be released again this year.

In May, Yang Rui participated in the Texas Hold'em tournament in Los Angeles and failed miserably; Participated in a golf tournament and failed miserably; participated in the billiards snooker game, his level was still alive among amateur players, and he was not enough to see it professionally, and he failed miserably; Playing tennis, he was not an opponent at all, and he was abused in the first round.

After some attempts, Yang Rui came to the conclusion that in other fields, he is really an ordinary person, there is no golden finger of the reborn, and the job in basketball is suitable for him.

This month, several more teams came to invite Yang Rui out of the mountain, and the most urgent was the Cavaliers.

There was a lot of upset in the playoffs, and the Cavaliers were eliminated in the second round by the Celtics, who ranked fourth in the regular season, with a total score of 4-2, and the Cavaliers were beaten out of temper.

James won the regular season MVP for the third time in his career, but he has a group of strong teammates and has not broken out the "friend mother's door", how to lose or how to lose.

After the end of this season, James' contract expires as a free agent, and the Cavaliers have no confidence in renewing his contract and want to ask Yang Rui to tie him. The boss offered a high salary plus shares, a coach and manager, and promised that James would listen to him, especially James's obedience would be written into the contract.

Yes, now the media often breaks the news that James does not listen to the arrangement of coach Mike Brown, Brown is the puppet of the emperor, etc., he is nicknamed "bread", and he is not good.

After being eliminated by the Celtics, O'Neal even gave an interview to make a big revelation, saying that James has the absolute right to speak in the team, and the coach can only be his supporting role, so it is not for nothing that people laugh at Brown.

"James is a superstar in the league, like when I was in Los Angeles in 2000, I think Mike Brown is a good guy, but good guys have to be cautious in Cleveland because that's James' team and no one can go against him," O'Neal said. The team was afraid of James leaving Cleveland, so they were cautious and obedient to him, James could do whatever he wanted, and he didn't listen to Brown. ”

Yang Ruicai didn't care whether James listened or not, and rejected the Cavaliers boss again, for the same reason: "I'm not interested in Cleveland." ”

The Ma'louf brothers of the Kings also approached and wanted him to coach Tabit and Martin, but Yang Rui refused just as simply.

At the end of the month, Sterling and Thomas finally negotiated, asked Yang Rui to have dinner together and sign an agreement.

Sterling offered mutually acceptable terms, offering Yang Rui a 30 percent stake in the Clippers, but offering a portion of the money instead of giving it away. Raheem Sterling only paid Yang Rui five years as a coach.

As soon as Thomas explained, Yang Rui learned that Sterling had cheated the two partners, and the negotiations between him and Thomas were carried out secretly, and Facebook did not release any news, and the partners did not know about it and voluntarily withdrew.

Yang Rui met with other teams to attract attention, all the media did not guess that he would join the Clippers, online Los Angeles fans said that he would join the Clippers, it was a wish, and there was no evidence that he was interested in the Clippers.

At this time, Sterling opened the board of directors and said that the team was ready to rebuild and continue to mess up next season, which aroused the disgust of other shareholders, and the two did not want to play with him, so Sterling took the opportunity to buy back the shares and then transfer them to Yang Rui.

Yang Rui's money to buy shares was one percent higher than the money Sterling spent on buying back, and Sterling used other people's shares to win over Facebook and made a small profit.

Initially, he wanted to sell the stock price by 30%, on the grounds that once the two sides cooperated, the valuation of the Clippers would increase significantly. Thomas got Sterling in a word. "If we don't come, you can play by yourself."

Sterling was afraid that the cooked duck would fly, so he could only agree, and it was his "hard work" to offend his partners by mentioning a 10% purchase of shares.

On this contract, of course, the most important point is also indicated, if Sterling wants to sell the team in the future, Thomas and Yang Rui have the right of first refusal, and then the Clippers will be theirs.

Things went smoothly and Yang Ruidu felt a little unreal, because Sterling has always been synonymous with "slamming the door".

Sterling explained: "Although I don't have as much money as you, I don't lack money, I've made a lot of money after buying the Clippers for so many years, and now I'm 76 years old, I don't know how many years better my body will be, I don't want to be scolded by Clippers fans when I die of old age, I haven't won once." Even if you don't join, I'll spend money to buy stars and compete for championships. As long as you can let me watch the team win the championship once in my lifetime, and hold a championship parade, what does it matter if I sell the team to you in the future? ”

No one in the family wants to inherit the Clippers, Sterling has already figured it out, money can't be brought into the dirt, and neither can the team, and the Clippers will be someone else's sooner or later. Attract Yang Rui to join, at least it can be sold at a good price in the future.

Yang Rui said: "I don't dare to guarantee anything else, it is certain to lead the team to win the championship, and your wish will definitely come true." I think we have some of the same thoughts, I want to buy the Clippers not to make money, just because it's a good tool to make everyone remember me and admire me. ”

Sterling laughed, "That's right, that's what I thought. Jerry [Buss] approached me to borrow money to buy the Lakers and spent about $18 million for the team, which people say was the greatest acquisition the NBA has ever made. I also spent 12.5 million to buy the Clippers, which is not much cheaper than him, and if I can suppress the Lakers in the past few years, I can live for 20 more years. ”

The Clippers are now at least 100 times more appreciative, Sterling is not a loss, he has been the owner of the Clippers for 29 years, and the team has not reached the Western Conference Finals, he wants to let people know before he retires that he can also be a good owner.

The two pretending to be B criminals unexpectedly had a little common language, and Yang Rui's next stop was determined.
