Previously, the NBA's record for the best regular season record was 75-7 for the Lakers, and the winning streak was the Lakers' 39-game winning streak.

The Clippers have broken their all-time winning streak and are just one step away from their best record. At the end of March, the Clippers were 71-3, and they only needed to guarantee half the winning rate in the remaining eight games, which can tie the record.

At this time, Clippers owner Donald Sterling came out again to show off his IQ limit.

Sterling hurriedly went to the office to chat with Yang Rui, and actually hoped that he would reduce Curry's playing time, even if he wanted to compete for MVP, let Griffin fight. The reason is that Curry is in a contract year, and Griffin has already renewed his contract, which is a clear reason not to give Curry a maximum salary.

In Yang Rui's previous life, a "Rose clause" was added to the 11-year collective bargaining agreement, and Rose was unsatisfactory with the Bulls in this life, but the clause still appeared, and the name became the "super rookie clause", in order to reward those young players who performed well.

The terms read: A player who completes his rookie contract will receive a max salary of 30 percent of the team's salary cap (a 5 percent increase from the old contract) when he signs his second career contract. But there is a strict barrier to entry: MVP in the first four years of his rookie contract, or two All-Star Game starters, or two All-Star All-Year selections.

Last season, Griffin was named to the All-Star starting team for the second year in a row, which activated the "super rookie clause" in his contract and signed a long-term contract with a high salary.

If Curry wins the regular season MVP this year, he will also meet that criteria and can get a super high salary.

Raheem Sterling doesn't want two of these high-paid players to exist in his squad, rather than being happy with two young stars in his squad.

Yang Rui first invited Sterling to sit down for tea, and then chatted with him calmly, he would not be angry about this little thing, and wanted to kick this short-sighted goods out of the office.

One of the ways to prevent being assimilated by stupid X is to always remind yourself: you can't hide things when you meet people, you can't hold your breath when you encounter things, you can't hold your anger when you get angry, and you can't hold back your anger when you are angry, and call yourself the three core characteristics of stupid people.

For Yang Rui, anything less than $1 billion is a trivial matter, after seeing the war between three women, ordinary complaints can't make him angry, he is now a saint-level temper, plus an expert-level peacemaker.

As long as people have a good temper, everything will be fine.

"Donald, even if Stephen triggers the clause, he will get about 10 million more than other top-paid players, and the economic value brought by high-star balloons to the team is far more than ten times that number, and the Clippers should always give the stars some benefits if they want to become the most profitable team in the league, right?"

"But it's two people."

Yang Rui explained impatiently: "The total salary is more than 10 million, and it is evenly distributed to about 2 million more per year, and the two of them are 4 million per year, which is just an extra mini middle class, which will not affect the team's recruitment, compete for the championship, and the luxury tax can also be controlled, and nothing will be affected." But spending an extra 4 million is the star's sense of belonging to the team, which is a good deal. I don't need to say more about the commercial value of a superstar, right? ”

After hearing this, Sterling also felt that his request was a bit stupid, the star could endorse any product, and the advertising cost was more than 4 million a year, if there was a contradiction for this money, it was not worth it.

The value of a superstar is hard to measure in terms of money, and they can be a symbol of a team and attract other good players to join.

For example, Yao Ming joined the Nets, and the Nets immediately had the capital to compete with the Knicks for the market. With Yao Ming as a signboard, they quickly put together the Big Three.

Curry and Griffin are very young, and it is not a big problem to be strong for another ten years, and they are more promising than Yao Ming, who has begun to decline, even if Yao Ming has many honors, they certainly deserve the top salary.

Yang Rui chatted with Sterling for a while, and cared about his life, before sending the old man away.

Although Sterling often makes stupid moves and brain-dead remarks, Yang Rui can understand that he is 77 years old after all, and his brain is not as bright as when he was younger.

And in January, Sterling was irritated by the fact that his 32-year-old son, Scott Sterling, died of drug addiction in his home. According to media reports, Sterling often whipped his son when he was a child, causing him to have an eccentric temperament and eventually become addicted to drugs.

Sterling's eldest daughter, Joanna, and son-in-law, Eric Miller, also had a very poor relationship with him and rarely moved around. As the Clippers' director of operations, Eric has seen Yang Rui more often than Sterling, which is ironic.

On April 1, the Clippers defeated the Rockets at home, completing the regular season sweep.

Before changing the defense, the Rockets could not win the championship, not only Harden opened the writing wheel, but Hawes and Delfino were also writing the wheel eye defense, and they were confused when they encountered the blocking.

On April 3, the Clippers lost 107-113 at home to the Pacers.

The Pacers with a full lineup are very strong, starting George Hill, Lance Stephenson, Paul George, David West, Roy Hibbert, except for Hibbert, who is a meat shield and must play near the restricted area, the other four are good at blocking and pick-and-roll.

The bench was led by DJ Augustin, Jamal Crawford, Danny Granger, Taylor Hansbru, Ian Masimmi, and was balanced offensively and defensively.

Granger's characteristics are like Guy, scoring mainly by shooting, George and Stephenson grew up after the injury, and after the comeback, the ball was insufficient, there were not enough shots to find the touch, a person who relied on shooting had no touch, and the state was particularly up and down.

However, in this game, Granger played well, shooting 6-of-10, 4-of-6 three-pointers, and 1-of-1 free throws, scoring 16 points.

The Pacers didn't have a particularly high scorer, and six players scored in double figures.

After beating the Kings, Hornets, and Grizzlies, the Clippers have already set the record, and even if they lose all three games left, they will only lose seven.

For the mighty Clippers, this is clearly impossible.

On the 13th, the Clippers lost to the Pistons on the road and suffered their fifth defeat.

The piston is not a fuel-efficient lamp this year, and it is much stronger than Yang Rui's previous life. Debuters Langdon Wright, DeMar DeRozan, Kyle Singler, Greg Monroe, Andre Drummond.

DeRozan became the core of the Pistons, averaging 20.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3 assists per game.

Substitutes Rodney Starkey, Wayne Ellington, Jerebko and Villanueva also have good attacking power.

After that, the Clippers easily won against the Trail Blazers and Kings, and finally fixed their record at 77-5, improving the record by two games at once.

Basketball fans all over the world were shocked. The Lakers had a 39-game winning streak and a 75-win streak, and everyone said it was a record that could not be broken, because it was difficult for other teams to put together a super lineup like "drug combination", Rasheed Wallace, Odom, and Iguodala. The Lakers picked up the Knicks' big bargain to get to that point.

As a result, the Lakers' record has only been held for a few years, and the core of the year is still in the league, and the stronger Clippers appeared, and they broke the record when a star was injured and missed for more than a month.

When Yang Rui first arrived, the Clippers players were not well-known except for Paul and Griffin, but they became another invincible team. The news commented on the performance of the Clippers, and almost everyone thought that Yang Rui had the greatest credit, and he had the superpower of turning a little stone into gold.

The major awards will not be selected until the middle of the second round, but Yang Rui has won the best coach award again.
