Chapter 462: Lakers' Honor
Faced with the fury of his boss Ballmer, Dougreaves was a little weak-hearted. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
When he refused to give Sun Dahei a ticket, he really didn't say hello to Ballmer before he did it......
"Boss, that Sun Dahei brought Chris Paul to the Lakers, so to speak, he single-handedly destroyed our Clippers, if I do this, it is equivalent to a small revenge on him, it shouldn't be a big deal......" Although Dougreaves said that he was full of aura on the court, he caught and scolded whom, but he also had to pretend to be a grandson in front of Ballmer.
"No big deal?! Have you fucking forgotten the misery of the walkers? Forget the tragedy of the Wizards?! Ballmer was so angry that he wanted to strangle Dougreaves.
It is true that, as Doug Rivers said, the Clippers can really be said to have been destroyed by Sun Dahei, Chris Paul left the team, which is equivalent to the Clippers losing their soul, and their performance has naturally plummeted, and they are now ranked ninth in the West.
Moreover, the total salary of the Clippers this season is still as high as $110 million, and if this salary does not break into the playoffs, the Clippers will definitely become the biggest joke in NBA history.
……
For a moment, Ballmer suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart, and he didn't know if it was a mistake to buy the Clippers for $2 billion!
Even, he had an impulse in his heart to change the Clippers for blood, if they were not broken or stand, if they did not take strong drugs, the half-alive appearance of the Clippers was really disappointing to Ballmer!
If there is really a big change, the first to bear the brunt is Dougreaves, the most powerful person in the Clippers team, and the reason why Ballmer hired Doug Reaves in the first place was also completely based on Chris Paul's face......
That's right, Doug Reaves was hired by Chris Paul at the beginning, and no one expected that Chris Paul's move would be tantamount to shooting himself in the foot......
Right now, Chris Paul has left the team, so what's the use of keeping the cancer of Douggreaves?
And Dougreaves' salary is extremely high, with an annual salary of tens of millions, second only to Popovich!
If you really want to talk about the salary of ability, Popovich's annual salary of 11 million is worth it, while Douggreaves's annual salary of 10 million is extremely low, according to his coaching ability, giving him 3 million is too much......
……
At half past seven on the day of the match day, Sun Dahei brought his father-in-law and other three people to the sideline commentary seat where O'Neill was!
As O'Neal promised, it was Kenny Smith who teamed up with him to play the game today, and he happened to have three chairs on the edge of the commentary bench.
"Big Black, are we sitting here? ......"When the old bear saw that he was sitting on the edge of the commentary seat, he was a little surprised.6
"That's right, this is the most honorable position in the entire stadium, haha, a position that ordinary people will never be able to buy even if they spend money, how about it, haha, are you still satisfied......" Sun Dahei laughed and made a little brag.
However, the position next to the commentary seat, as Sun Dahei said, ordinary people really can't buy it with money, and it is not too much to say that it is the most honorable position in the entire stadium.
"Haha, Dahei, this is your father-in-law, right? Fortunately, fortunately! O'Neill laughed, he was a man who would do things, and this kind of occasion gave Sun Dahei enough face.
"Shaq, big shark, haha, it's really exciting, there is a chance to sit next to the big shark and watch the game!" Gao Wanlu's second aunt looked like a fan of O'Neill, and the whole person trembled with excitement.
"Brother, then my father-in-law will leave it to you, take a good treat......" Sun Dahei said with a smile.
"Haha, okay, I will definitely take care of everything, Dahei, don't worry......"
Although they can't understand English, looking at the intimate conversation between Sun Dahei and O'Neill, the three of Lao Xiong can also see that the relationship between O'Neill and Sun Dahei is extremely good.
"Good girl, Da Hei is really powerful, it seems that even a veteran star like O'Neal has a lot of respect for Da Hei!" The three of them thought silently in their hearts.
……
After arranging his father-in-law, Sun Dahei appeared on the stage and began to do warm-up training before the game.
In this game, Sun Dahei has decided to give the Clippers a long memory, so he has said hello to Wharton Jr. before the game, and in this game, Sun Dahei will be the absolute offensive core of the team like the game against the Kings!
For Sun Dahei's "encounter", the Lakers generals are naturally very unhappy, in their opinion, Sun Dahei's eyes are equivalent to the face of the Los Angeles Lakers!
If you don't give Sun Dahei face, it will almost be equivalent to slapping the entire Lakers in the face!
"Brother Dahei, don't worry! In this game, I will definitely use 12% of my energy to defend, we have to make the Clippers ugly! Ingram said huffingly.
Sun Dahei takes a lot of care of Ingram, and now that Sun Dahei is humiliated, where can Ingram still sit still, and he can't wait to catch Dougreaves and beat him up......
"That's right, if the Clippers don't give Sun Dahei face, they just don't give us the Lakers face! This game is sure to make the Clippers look good! Old Carter also said angrily.
Sun Dahei's heart warmed, his Lakers' brothers, who support him so much, it seems that if he doesn't play a statistic that the Clippers will remember for a lifetime today, he is not only sorry for himself, but also sorry for the gang of brothers in front of him.
"Good! Let's see what confidence the Clippers have today, dare not give us the Lakers face! Sun Dahei shouted angrily!
……
There are still more than ten minutes before the official start of the game, Sun Dahei did not overdo the pre-game warm-up training, this game, he must always maintain full physical fitness!
"Wharton, there's a question I haven't asked, why are those championship flags and retired jerseys at our Staples Arena covered with white cloth in this game?" Sun Dahei asked little Wharton in confusion.
Indeed, as Sun Dahei said, there are many symbols of honor of the Lakers hanging over the Staples Arena, such as championship flags, retired jerseys, etc., but today's game was shrouded in white cloth!
In this case, in fact, when Sun Dahei was in the Warriors last season, he also encountered it when he came to play at Staples Arena, but at that time Sun Dahei was still a player of the Warriors, so he naturally didn't pay much attention to this kind of thing......
And right now, as a member of the Lakers, Sun Dahei has this kind of doubt in his heart, so he will naturally ask.
"Ahem, this isn't the damn Douggreaves, since he became the general manager of the Clippers, in order to expand the influence of the Clippers, and then when they play at home, they will cover all the Lakers' flag of honor with a white cloth......"
Little Wharton carefully told Sun Dahei about the incident......
And Sun Dahei, under the narration of Wharton Jr., finally figured out that it turned out that covering the flag of honor with a white cloth was a ghost made by the Clippers......
As we all know, the Lakers have a lot of honor flags, although there are fewer championship flags than Green Kai, but if you count retired jerseys and other honor flags, the total number of Lakers is more than Green Kai......
In this case, in terms of heritage, the Clippers will naturally be completely blown out by the Lakers......
Since Doug Reaves became the general manager of the Clippers, he began to expand the influence of the Clippers in Los Angeles, and the first thing to do was to reduce the influence of the Lakers......
And if you want to reduce the influence of the Lakers, the best way is to make fans forget the glorious history of the Lakers, and instead focus on the current records of the two teams, the Clippers in recent years, except for this season, the record is much better than the Lakers......
That's why Doug Reaves came up with the idea of a self-defeating man, and when they play at home in Staples, they'll use a white cloth to cover the Lakers' flag of honor......
After listening to little Wharton's explanation, Sun Dahei suddenly had a feeling of crying and laughing......
Stupid, really stupid to the point of no score, this Doughreaves doesn't seem to be just good at coaching, he doesn't seem to be very shrewd in other aspects......
What does it mean to cover people's flags of honor with white cloth? Isn't this a cover-up and a stealing of the bell? Originally, when fans came to watch your Clippers game at home, they probably didn't think about it so much, and it was impossible for anyone to think about the Lakers' honor every day......
And now Doug Reaves has shrouded the Lakers honor flag over Staples with a white cloth, which is very conspicuous, and fans can see a large piece of white cloth floating over the court as soon as they look up......
This is tantamount to forcing the fans who come to watch the Clippers game to think of the Lakers' supreme honor......
It's just stupid to get home!
"No, according to Doug Reaves' temperament, after he covered our Lakers' honor flag, why didn't he let their Clippers honor go?" Sun Dahei was puzzled.
According to Dough Greaves' temperament, while suppressing the opponent, he must also use a series of honors to show his strength......
"Poof...... That's a good question, Da Hei, what honor do you think the Clippers deserve to be placed above the arena......" Little Wharton laughed when Sun Da Hei asked this question!
As a Lakers player in his career, Walton Jr. is of course looking towards the Lakers in his heart, and he is a little scornful of the Clippers' approach of covering the flag of honor!
Sun Dahei thought about it for a while, as if Wharton Jr.'s words were not wrong at all, since the Clippers designated their home arena as Staples Arena in 1984, they really didn't have any honors......
They have played at Staples Arena for more than 30 years and have never touched the floor of the Western Finals...... So the Clippers never broke into the Western Conference finals, and it really wasn't Chris Paul alone......
Their best record in more than three decades was reaching the Western Conference semifinals, the second round of the playoffs......
Of course, in the past 30 years, the Clippers have not really won nothing, but they have won the division championship once......
As we all know, the NBA league is divided into two divisions, east and west, and under these two divisions, there is also the saying of divisions.
Under the East and West Divisions, there are three divisions each, which means that there are six divisions in the league, and each division has five teams......
For example, the top three in Texas belong to the same division and belong to the Southwest Division, while the Warriors, Lakers, Clippers, Kings, and Suns belong to the Pacific Division.
And the championship won by the Clippers is the champion of this division, the champion of the Pacific Division......
This Pacific Division championship is the biggest achievement of the Clippers in the more than 30 years since they moved to Staples Arena......
At the beginning, the Clippers management also wanted to hang some of their own honor flags after covering the Lakers' flag of honor, and Doug Reaves proposed to hang the flag of the Pacific Division champion over the arena......
However, this move was met with a collective resistance from the Clippers......
Griffin, the starting power forward of the Clippers, even said: "We can't lose that guy, Pacific Division champions? That's a hairy honor...... Don't disgrace yourself......"
The meaning of this is too obvious, if you want to be embarrassed by Doug Rivers, go and lose it yourself, don't take us with you...... Hang the banner of the division champion over the arena, which team in the league will be so thick-skinned?! People still enjoy a stadium alone, and they would rather the stadium be empty than do such a shameful thing......
And the Clippers share the Staples Arena with the aristocratic team Lakers, and the Lakers have dozens of flags with very high gold content, and you hang a regional championship flag?!
There is no harm without contrast......
I'm afraid it will make fans all over the world laugh to death......
They players still have to mix in the league, and they can't afford to lose this person!
