Chapter 413: The Alliance's First Miser

The Knicks' road trip to the West continues, and on Nov. 20, they traveled to Oakland on the West Coast to face the Golden State Warriors back-to-back.

The Warriors have been mired in the mud since Nelson Sr.'s resignation, and this offseason they traded their No. 10 pick for the Hawks' outside gate, six-time All-Defensive Team winner Murkey Blaylock, and No. 21 pick. The arrival of Blaylock has improved their position as a defender, but the other points of the lineup are still not strong.

The Warriors have talent, Don Yell Marshall, the No. 4 pick in '94, is talented, but can't grow into a superstar now, and the No. 8 pick in '97, Adonal Fayer, has amazing potential, but he played very badly in the first two seasons.

Now, the Warriors want to use Antoine Jamison, the No. 4 pick in '98, as a cornerstone, but this guy who was intercepted by the Raptors and forced the Warriors to trade Carter and cash back doesn't seem to be as good as expected!

Overall, they still seem to be unable to escape the fate of the lottery this year, facing the defending champion who came to challenge, the Warriors head coach, NCAA coach PJ Callesimo, who was choked by Sprewell, and has been frowning.

In fact, just as Callesimo worried, the Warriors were beaten, this is a crushing of strength, and it is useless to let him play his tactics!

At the final whistle, the Knicks defeated their opponents 106-89, won two in a row, and their overall record became 11-1, continuing to lead the league!

Li Wei is super ghostly in this game, because the six-time winner of the best defensive team, Murch Blaylock, is really an iron gate, and he is quite uncomfortable to defend!

But it doesn't matter, Li Wei never thought that he could beat all kinds of defensive giants, a few ghost games were completely expected, and the team could win.

On November 21, the Knicks team came to Los Angeles, the City of Angels, and got a rare rest, and Li Wei took his pet dog to visit Disneyland.

"Whew! Whew! Li Fuzhen is very happy.

Li Wei is also very happy, because the Knicks' next opponent is the Clippers!

On November 23, the Staples Arena was crowded, and countless fans came to see the defending champion Knicks and come to watch Li Wei, who had once hatted Kobe Bryant and O'Neal!

This season, both the Lakers and Clippers moved to the newly built Staples Center arena, and Clippers owner Donald Sterling was overjoyed to see that he and the Lakers were in the same arena.

As we all know, the Clippers are the only team in the NBA that aims for the first pick every year, and they are not interested in the playoffs, let alone win championships, and what is even more infuriating is that the owner of the team is not worried about the ball market at all - if you share a court with the Lakers, you don't have to worry about not being able to buy tickets!

In the second largest city in the United States, the city is full of Lakers fans who love to watch basketball!

Today's home game against the Knicks, the Clippers' tickets are selling well. The defending champion Knicks have been to Los Angeles twice a season, once away to the Lakers and once away to the Clippers.

If you want to see Garnett, Houston, Maddy, Nash and other stars, then you can only watch this game, and if you miss this game, you can only wait until April next year, when the Knicks will come to Los Angeles to play the Lakers again!

Want to see how the defending champions play?

Then come on!

The Clippers raised the ticket price three times, and still sold a single one!

In addition to the Knicks, the Clippers themselves are not without highlights, they have last year's super top pick, Olajuwon's successor Michael Olowokandi, and Lamar Odom, who is talented enough to be this year's top pick, but unfortunately fell to the fourth pick!

If you want to see a wonderful game, book a ticket to the Lakers, and if you want to see a potential star, book a ticket to the Clippers!

At 8 p.m. Los Angeles time, the match between the two teams officially began.

The head coach of the Clippers is Chris Ford, a player-turned-Celtics coach, who coached the Clippers for five years, but unfortunately led the team to poor results, and later went to the Bucks, a member of the BA Hall of Fame, and the essence of human movies Dominic Wilkins once admitted that Chris Ford was the worst coach he had ever seen.

However, the Clippers don't care whether Chris Ford's coaching ability is good or bad, what they care about is that Chris Ford is the cheapest of all the coaches!

Two words: save money!

The Clippers' starting five are:

Center, 2.13 meters tall, 98-year-old rookie Michael Olovocandi, who is still on his rookie contract, is super cheap!

Big forward, 2.06 meters tall '98 first-round pick Brian Skinner, who is still on his rookie contract, is super cheap!

Small forward, 2.08 meters tall, No. 4 show in '99 Ramar Odom, he is super cheap in his rookie year!

Scoring guard, 1.96 meters tall '97 No. 13 pick Derek Anderson, in a word, rookie contract, cheap!

Finally, the organization guard, Troy Hudson, who is 1.85 meters tall and lost the draft in 97, is signed with a base salary, which is simply cheap!

The Clippers are really able to save money, but the owner Sterling is a little sullen when he sees his most economical lineup in the league!

Because the league has set a poor ghost line, if the total salary of any team is lower than the poor ghost line, the difference must be made up!

Sterling really wanted to scold, which bastard suggested that the poor ghost line be set at 75% of the salary cap?

This year's salary cap is 34 million, and the poor ghost line is 255 million!

The person with the highest salary on the Clippers team is the champion show Olovo Kandi, 3.46 million, and the rookie contract of the first-round pick is the league's fixed salary, he can't lower the price, and the others are one less than the other!

They can't reach the poor ghost line!

"Fake, Lao Tzu has worked hard to create the most economical lineup in the league, and basically does not have to pay much salary, but in the end, the result is to take a large amount of money to fill the poor ghost line?"

It's so unbelievable!

If he had a knife in his hand, Sterling would definitely want to stab David Stern with a knife, not to rob money like you!

But then again, if there is a knife in his hand, David Stern also wants to stab Donald Sterling, this Sterling is definitely the number one moth in the league, there is no one!

It is clear that a group of players with a base salary are playing, but the salary cannot be paid less, and Sterling is very depressed.

He found that his business philosophy was going to change, since the total salary did not reach the poor ghost line, and it would cost so much money, so why not keep one or two stars in the team?

If the Clippers can keep one or two stars, the box office will definitely be better, right?

"Elgin, if we meet a powerful player in the future, we can give them a contract depending on the situation, and we have to fill in this poor ghost line!" Donald Sterling.

Lakers legend, the current general manager of the Clippers, Elgin Baylor, listened to the boss's words and instantly burst into tears: "Boss, I'm relieved if you say this, our Clippers can finally rise!" ”

Sterling said: "Don't get excited, the rise is not something we have to worry about, our goal is just to fill in the poor ghost line, and Los Angeles will not worry about selling tickets." You take a closer look at who can bring in jersey sales, and then make a move, we can't spend money in vain! ”

Elgin Baylor had no choice but to say: "Don't worry, boss, I'll take a closer look!" ”

Opportunities will always be left to those who are prepared, Elgin Baylor feels that there is a poor ghost line stuck, even if the boss picks it again, the team hopes to rise!
