While Li Wei was leisurely watching the Oscars in Los Angeles, the Knicks had already flown to Oakland en masse because of the tight NBA schedule, and they were going to face the Warriors on March 24.

Although Los Angeles is not far from Oakland, Li Wei did not rush there on game day, but wore a pair of sunglasses and went to Disneyland with Ivanka, Sylvia, and Xie Siqi.

There are two top Disneyland resorts in the United States, one in California and one in Orlando, since you are in Los Angeles, how can you not have a visit to Disneyland in California?

The team is playing, but he, the head coach, is out touring the mountains and rivers, too leisurely, looking at the four major sports leagues, I am afraid that there is only one coach who dares to do this, and there is no other branch!

Assistant coach Chuck Daley commanded the game, and the Knicks won 98-75 against the bent Warriors.

On March 25, the Knicks came to Los Angeles to face the Clippers back-to-back.

Raheem Sterling, the owner of the Clippers, is the most slamming owner in the NBA, and he is not even willing to pay an extra penny into the team.

However, last season, the Clippers, who couldn't hold up the wall in the mud, actually entered the playoffs, which is really a miracle in the world!

How did the Clippers make the playoffs?

That's because the Spurs' main player David Robinson was injured and also joined the ranks of the bad team, plus the Kings, Warriors, Grizzlies, Nuggets, and Mavericks who are still bad this season, there are six teams that are rotten.

In addition, last year's Suns actually wanted to mess up, they just sold the team's big boss Barkley, the Trail Blazers lost Drexler and Barker Williams, and they are also rebuilding, the Timberwolves don't want to mess up, but they have too many young people on the team, and their strength is not strong.

Of the 14 teams in the West, 10 of them are either poor or bent on swinging.

So the Clippers worked hard to play badly, worked hard to play badly, but finally found that against teams like the Spurs, Nuggets, Mavericks, Grizzlies, etc., they couldn't lose, and against the Suns, Timberwolves and other teams, it was possible to win!

By the end of the season, they had an astonishing 36-46 record!

When you're in the West, you can still win 36 games, and you can't make the playoffs!

The Timberwolves, who are slightly stronger than them, only have 40 wins, and they have not even reached a 50% win rate, but they have been squeezed into sixth place in the West!

The west in this era is really crazy!

However, the main shooting guard Mark Healy and the bench titan Beau Outlaw, who were the heroes of the Clippers' playoff last season, did not renew their contracts with the team after the season.

For Clippers owner Raheem Sterling, it's a necessity. A role player who plays a role with a high value will definitely not be able to renew his contract with a base salary, so how far can it go! The fringe players with the price of cabbage are all over the street, how can the team squad be put together, and he will never spend money in vain!

After Sterling's strategy, this season the Clippers finally don't have to worry about others being worse than them, and they are determined to win!

What, you said that the owner of the Clippers is so slamming the door and bent on messing up, how to expand the basketball market, how to attract fans?

Come on, there is not only one Clippers team in Los Angeles, and the Lakers can do the expansion of the basketball market.

The Clippers are only half the price of the Lakers, and they can also see the performances of Jordan, Olajuwon, Hill, Hardaway and other superstars when they come here to watch the game, so why not Lakers fans?

Moreover, the Clippers themselves are not entirely without interest. Raheem Sterling has made the most of the league rules, earning a high draft pick every year and selecting one of the most high-profile rookies with a lot of potential!

See the superstars, go to the Lakers, see the novas, come to the Clippers!

The Lakers only have one O'Neal, the contract is hundreds of millions of dollars, the Clippers have many potential new stars, and the total annual salary is only 20 million.

With the Lakers opening up the market and potential new stars inside to attract fans, the cost is ridiculously low, and there is no need to worry about the team losing money, and you can earn as much as you sell tickets and broadcast fees, Sterling can be called a model of a shrewd profiteer.

If it weren't for such a convenience in the same city, he would not have withstood the league's huge fines and wanted to move the team to Los Angeles and squeeze with the Lakers!

The two teams in Los Angeles are the two poles of ice and fire, one thinking about expanding the market all day long, and the other thinking about reducing costs all day long.

In the eyes of fans, Raheem Sterling is the most heinous crime, but for businessmen, the most important thing is to make money. Buss, the owner of the Lakers with a heavy salary burden, may not make as much money as Sterling!

For other NBA owners, Sterling is also disgusting. Everyone else is working, thinking about how to promote the NBA market all day long, how to divert fans from the audience of football, baseball, and ice hockey, only he hugs the thigh of the Lakers, eats white food every day, and discredits the entire league!

In order to limit Sterling, the League deliberately instituted a poor man's tax, also known as the Poor Ghost Line. In '99, 75% of the salary cap was the poor ghost line, and if the total contract amount given by the team was less than this value, the owner could not save money, and had to take out the less part and distribute it to the team's players.

Later, the NBA's salary cap continued to rise, and the standard of the poor ghost line also continued to rise, from 75% to 80% of the salary cap, and even to 90% in 13 years!

As soon as the league does this, Sterling's life will not be easy. Since the money saved doesn't belong to him, he doesn't care about giving one or two big contracts to keep the stars in the team, anyway, the team's total salary just needs to stay on the poor ghost line.

So, the Clippers of the 21st century have risen, not because Sterling is willing to rise, but because he has to rise because he is stuck by the poor ghost!

Of course, the current Clippers haven't risen yet, all it has to do is mess up.

Although it was a back-to-back game, even though the head coach of the Knicks, Li Wei, arrived at the arena at the beginning of the game, the Knicks still won 102-76 bloodlessly!

After the game, Li Wei hugged Bill Fitch, the leader of the Thousand Defeats.

Bill Fitch is the most losing coach in the entire NBA, and it wasn't until the 21st century that his losing record was surpassed by Wilkens, a thousand-win coach.

Barring any surprises, this will be Bill Fitch's final season in charge. In this life, the old man has created the miracle of Ridgefield, won the championship with the peak Bird, and also led Olajuwon to the finals, even if the evening is bleak and he has become the first thousand-defeated coach in history, but you have to admit that this is also a legendary record!

After the big win over the Clippers, the Knicks went to Canada to challenge the Vancouver Grizzlies away!

The Grizzlies only joined the NBA in '95, and they drafted Oklahoma State super-center Bryant Levi with the No. 6 pick that year, the University of California super-forward Raheem with the No. 6 pick in '96, and the talented Antonio Daniels of Boleyn Green State University with the No. 4 pick in '97!

Like the Raptors, their youngsters are talented and talented, but they don't have much to do, and no one knows how to win!
