Chapter 750: The Alliance's Arms Race
"Thank you, Mr. Johnson, I will consider what you have said, and I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future." Richard shook hands with the magician and the braggart daddy.
Although he is definitely not ready to let Magic join the Clippers, for such a senior, Richard must not be embarrassed to make him lose face, so he simply said a cliché.
The Magic didn't hear the perfunctory meaning of Richard's words, his face was full of smiles, and today was not a lack of gain for him, at least he found an opportunity to join the Los Angeles team.
Although it is not his parent team, the Lakers, it is good to be able to enter the Clippers.
……
After everyone in the room left, Stern also stood up.
"Congratulations, Lee."
"I hope you can remember our agreement, win less championships, and have more suspense!" Stern said solemnly.
Richard laughed bitterly, what Stern said was just nonsense.
said as if he now has a way to make the Clippers rise directly, and his way to rise has been blocked by Stern.
There are few draft picks in hand in the last two years, and all of the team's valuable players were sold by Stern after the doors of the trade market opened a few days ago, in exchange for a bunch of stinky tomato rotten bird eggs......
In this situation, even if Richard is God, it must be difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice, and it will be difficult for the Clippers to rise in the short term.
So at the moment, even if Richard wants to ignore the agreement with Stern after getting the Clippers, it is completely impossible.
……
In the afternoon of the same day, the league made an official announcement, which can be said to be the most shocking news in the NBA in recent years, even more shocking than the previous three consecutive championships and four consecutive championships of the Pirates.
Richard bought the entire equity of the Clippers for $1.5 billion and became the sole owner of the Clippers from now on!
As soon as this news came out, the whole league was shaken, and from now on Richard has a team of his own, and it is also a team located in a bustling metropolis like Los Angeles?!
Although everyone knew that Richard announced that he would compete for the ownership of the Clippers, but in fact, not many people were optimistic about Richard, and now that the acquisition is really successful, countless people feel that the pattern of the alliance in the next few decades may change dramatically.
Perhaps decades from now, the favorite team of Los Angeles fans will not be the Lakers, but the upstart Clippers.
Maybe in a few decades, the Clippers will be the league's number one powerhouse.
At the moment, the most stressful thing in the league is probably the Bass family, who has run the Lakers for decades.
Old Buss, that is, Jerry Buss from the acquisition of the Lakers in 1979, in the past 30 years, has built the Lakers into a giant team, but now he is old and no longer has much energy to focus on business, so he can only start to cultivate his children.
"Father, this is not good news for us, what shall we do now?" Old Bass's youngest son, Jim Bass, asked with a frown.
Jim Bass's ability can be regarded as completely overturning the saying that Lao Tzu is a hero......
Needless to say, the ability of the old Buss is inseparable from his personal ability.
And Jim Bas's ability is quite embarrassing, and it is not too much to say that he is an incompetent second ancestor.
In fact, the elder Bass's favorite successor is not his younger son, but his eldest son, Johnny Bass.
Johnny is the eternal regret of Old Bass, if he was willing to take over the business, then Old Bass would have retired completely.
But Johnny is not interested in business, he is more like Paul Allen in terms of personality, and he likes to make music......
Johnny, the most capable boss, was reluctant to meddle in the business, and Old Bass could only choose Jim Bass and Jenny Bass among his remaining five children.
……
Faced with Jim Bass's question, Old Bass frowned, "Jim, I have warned you countless times, after encountering something, you must force yourself to calm down first, how can you let me rest assured that the team will be managed by you." ”
Jenny Bass, the older sister standing on the side, looked at Jim Bass with a smile and a hint of disdain.
The relationship between the sister and brother can be said to be quite bad, in order to fight for power, the trouble is inextricable, and even all parties thought that the Lakers were going to sell part of their shares.
"We can only wait and see what happens in this kind of thing, and Richard is not a master to be messed with." Old Bass said with a sigh.
When Richard announced his competition for the Clippers before, he actually anticipated this situation and was very worried.
Anyone who takes over the Clippers, he is actually not worried at all, because no matter how hard they try, it is impossible to steal the limelight from the Lakers in Los Angeles.
Only one Richard, is the person who worries the elder Bass the most, and the person who doesn't want to see him take over the Clippers.
Richard has proven his magic countless times, and who would dare to say that he can't raise the Clippers' heritage to the level of the Lakers?
At that time, the big cake of Los Angeles will not be exclusive to the Lakers.
Just when the Buss family was at a loss, some Clippers fans in Los Angeles were as excited as if they had been beaten with blood.
When they go out, they are all embarrassed to say that they are Clippers fans, and now that Richard is here, it is only a matter of time before the Clippers rise!
Clippers fans are extremely rare in all of Los Angeles, but not at all......
No team can be recognized by everyone, and some fans in Los Angeles don't like the Lakers, so they set their home team as the Clippers.
But the Clippers have been so rubbish over the years, and they must be embarrassed to talk about it......
Now that Richard is here, they feel like they're about to raise their eyebrows.
The eastern team is completely boiling, and many fans of the eastern team propose to hold a farewell party to send Richard, the big devil, to the west.
From now on, after the East has no big devil, at least the fans of those Eastern teams can also see the hope of their home team winning the championship.
In addition to the excitement of the fans, the teams were also very excited, and they made big moves one after another, taking advantage of Richard's departure to hurry up and compete for the championship.
For a time, the entire eastern part of the country was surging, and many earth-shattering transactions entered the negotiation stage.
And the western side is obviously not so peaceful, Richard is back after winning six championships in the east, and they are afraid that they will experience the fear of being dominated by Richard, the great devil.
However, at present, the Clippers' family foundation has almost been hollowed out by Stern, which is good news for Western teams.
While the Clippers have not yet risen, they can only quickly recruit troops, grab a championship first, and then wait for Richard's Clippers to rise, it will not be so simple to win the championship.
The whole Union is in a state of unprecedented madness, an arms race, all kinds of recruitment.
Bryant and Big Ben are happy that they can play next to Richard again, but not as a team.
Regarding the transfer of the three boys, Kobe Bryant came forward to find a relationship, and the enrollment was quite smooth, and her eldest daughter Natalia was in an elementary school.
Natalia is two years older than the three boys and is currently in elementary school.
What Richard didn't expect was that the three boys came up directly to the second grade, and they were in the same class as Natalia.
What is a childhood sweetheart? I'm afraid this is called a childhood sweetheart, Richard wonders if he will become Kobe's in-laws in the future.
Kobe Bryant's daughter didn't look good when she was a child, but when she grew up, she still had a different taste.
Especially the eldest daughter, who perfectly inherited Kobe's height and mother Vanessa's figure, is still quite good-looking if she is in a hurry.
Of course, it doesn't matter if it's good-looking or not, the main thing is that Natalia is quite sensible, and she will be a good daughter-in-law at first glance......
……
If Bryant knew that Richard had this idea, I don't know if he would shout that Richard was a devil.
Help your son find a school by yourself, and you actually want your son to soak in my daughter? What the devil......
