The fastest response was from the White House, which urgently held a press conference to denounce Sterling's remarks, and the federal government will investigate the incident.

The NBA also immediately announced an indefinite ban on Sterling, and immediately activated an emergency plan to disqualify Sterling from an NBA team, and the Clippers entered the auction process.

All sectors of society also reacted quickly, denouncing the condemnation and attacking the criticism.

Sterling didn't just offend blacks, he offended everyone, including people of his own ethnicity.

Cool directly.

For a time, it was as if the whole Eagle Sauce was the most anti-discrimination country.

But Sterling's remarks have an impact not only on Eagle Sauce, the eyes of the world are focused on Eagle Sauce, condemning it, and at the same time, watching Eagle Sauce and watching the NBA's good show.

The NBA wanted to draw a quick distance from Raheem Sterling, but things didn't go so well.

Originally, at the beginning of August, because Li Ao officially signed with the Clippers and had a high probability of playing in the summer league, the flower growers and other Asian countries and regions have increased their investment in the Clippers, and the market value of the Clippers has skyrocketed, soaring from 180 million to 300 million, and the Clippers have become the team with the most money-making potential for a while.

At that time, the passers-by of the Eagle Sauce family were surprised, wasn't a certain eastern country still in a reign of terror of slash-and-burn? How do you feel like you're rich.

But after this incident broke out, all the sponsors withdrew their funds, but they signed an agreement, and they directly announced that they would not give money and would sue Sterling.

As a result, the Clippers not only lost the more than 20 sponsors they had just signed, but even the original 9 sponsors ran away.

Clippers billboards at the Staples Center were also taken down overnight.

Not only that, the Clippers players led by Li Ao have shouted to the NBA, demanding that their contracts with the Clippers be terminated and become free agents.

It's okay, Stern won't agree to this, it's tantamount to disbanding the Clippers.

The most critical thing is the NCAA side's riotous operation, they gave Li Ao the green light to allow Li Ao to return to the NCAA arena, as if the matter of participating in the draft had not happened, and they are considering licensing Li Ao to take endorsements, and the sponsors have also changed their goals and began to contact the NCAA.

This made Stern want to ascend to heaven on the spot, and it was actually an ally who stabbed him in the back at a critical moment!

As a result, the Clippers' market value has hit rock bottom.

In this year when all walks of life are thrifty because of the boom in Internet stocks, the auction that started at 200 million US dollars to sell 87% of Sterling's shares was unsuccessful!

The second auction, with a starting price of 150 million US dollars, was unsold again.

Some people who participated in the auction complained to the media that they spent 150 million US dollars to buy the Clippers in this situation, why not buy the Grizzlies?

Grizzlies owners are also now hesitating between selling the team, stopping losses and moving.

And the current NBA franchise fee is less than 150 million US dollars.

Sterling is still the owner of the Clippers for a day, and public opinion can't be calmed down for a day.

For a while, the only solution in front of David Stern seemed to be to disband the Clippers?

The NBA team in this year is not worth more than a billion dollars in more than ten years, anyway, there are already NBA teams in Los Angeles, and it is a big deal to disband first and then re-accept a team to join.

Just when Stern was about to grit his teeth and break his tail to survive, Sterling's wife who had been separated for many years appeared, and forcibly took Sterling to a psychiatric hospital for an examination.

Under the laws of the Eagle Sauce family, Sterling's wife, Shelly, was given the right to dispose of the marital property separately.

Seeing that the NBA official has revealed that he wants to disqualify the Clippers, Sheri Sterling went to a buyer and disqualified, and the team is really worthless, and it has to pay the fees for the use of the arena that has been leased, pay the wages of players who other teams are unwilling to take over, etc., and become negative equity on the spot.

NBA officials don't want to auction the Clippers at a price of less than 150 million US dollars, because they are worried about affecting the overall value of the NBA team, the market value of the Grizzlies is 150 million US dollars, and some buyers have made an offer, but the Grizzlies owner is still hesitant to sell or move.

David Stern's idea is that he would rather have one less team in the NBA than sell it cheaply.

But Shelly Sterling doesn't care about this, even if it's not worth 300 million US dollars, more than 100 million US dollars is a huge amount of money, David Stern wants to break her tail to survive, and it is not the NBA's tail that is broken, but her arm.

When Sheri Sterling lowered her selling price, it didn't take long for Los Angeles Sports Investment Group to take the lead......

…

When the time came to September 1st, USC had already started school, and the old man came to the school to find Li Ao who was going to school.

"McHale, so you're my boss?"

"No, it's the sports management company under the Los Angeles Sports Investment Group that is responsible for managing the Clippers, our group now holds a minority of the Clippers shares, Shelly Sterling only needs cash, our group wanted to use the management rights and equity of real estate at the beginning, she didn't agree, we couldn't take out 130 million cash at once, and the NBA also has a salary reserve, we need time to raise money, and we are worried that others will buy it first, so we can only find someone with cash to buy the team together.

The new big boss of the Clippers is Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, who signed a total investment plan with our group for a total of 200 million yuan, entrusted us with the establishment of an independent subsidiary, and then entrusted the management of this company to our group.

Bought the Clippers 130 million, our group paid 40 million, your teacher paid 10 million, and the remaining 80 million was paid by Ballmer with other money, that is, he privately holds 53% of the shares of the Clippers, our group only has 36% of the shares, and the rest of the shares are in the hands of others, Ballmer has the management of the Clippers, and then entrusts the management to the sports management company, and our group manages the team on behalf of the sports management company.

He just wants to have an NBA team at the moment, and he took advantage of the cheap price to take advantage of it, but he doesn't have time to manage it, and he can change agents at any time if he wants. ”

"What kind of nesting doll operation is this, wait, I'll figure it out."

Li Ao thought about it for a while and said: "I seemed to see the news last Christmas that Bill Gates congratulated Ballmer on becoming the CEO of Microsoft, he wanted the team, bought it at a low price, and didn't have time to take care of it, and now your group is responsible for management, that's the thing, right?" Isn't that my boss? ”

"Here's the situation, how about it, Leo, have you figured out if you want to play two more years in college or stay with the team? I've talked to Caesar, it's my youngest son, he's in charge of the team for the time being, he respects your decision, you're going to play in college for two more years, and the team can wait for you to join when the time comes. ”

Li Ao is now entangled.

It's been half a month since this happened, and it came so suddenly, and he was completely unprepared.

When he saw that video, he was immediately angry, and immediately asked Schwartz to find the media to announce that he was quitting the Clippers, and jointly submitted a request to the NBA to terminate the contract with his teammates.

The NCAA also threw an olive branch at this time, agreeing that he would return to college to compete.

With Eagle Sauce intervening in this matter in all aspects, after blasting Sterling, he calmed down and watched the video again...... Discover how strong Stirling's taste is!

I didn't look closely at the time, but now that I look at it, he almost thinks two men are doing indescribable things.

The female secretary general named Tia was more gentlemanly than Sterling, and after a few more glances, she thought that the female secretary would be bigger than Sterling when she took out the big dick.

Stirling was cold, still cold on his slamming door.

After he got tired of playing with the female secretary, he wanted to drive people away, but the female secretary took out the video and asked for 5 million US dollars.

Unexpectedly, Sterling didn't think of any other way, but bargained with the female secretary, and really cut the price to 500,000 US dollars.

The most sassy operation came, after Sterling paid 200,000 US dollars in advance to get the video, he turned his face and refused to pay the final payment, and also hired a private detective to go to the female secretary's rental house to install a pinhole camera to monitor the female secretary.

But I didn't expect that people had already prepared, and all they gave to Sterling was a backup of the video, and after receiving the final payment, they sold the video to ABC TV for 500,000 US dollars......

Looking back now, Li Ao feels that the TV station of the Eagle Sauce family is really wild, from the foreplay of Sterling to the 5-minute scene of wearing pants, all of which were released in the live news without censorship.

It's worthy of eagle sauce, it's perverted enough.

The choice in front of Li Ao now is quite simple, whether he chooses to continue to play in the NCAA or in the NBA, it is very beneficial to him.

Playing in the NCAA, he has a more relaxed environment for basic skills polishing and technical development, and the NCAA seems likely to allow him to play with endorsement fees, which is the first time the NCAA has done this, and he wants to put incense on Sterling, the kind of three sticks for one dollar.

However, having played with Odom and O'Neal Jr., he is more eager to compete at a higher level.

Constantly challenging and stronger in the world of basketball is the life he dreams of.

The old man gave Li Ao time to think about it.

In the afternoon, Li Ao finally made a decision and shook the old man over.

"How's it going, Leo, have you made your choice? It doesn't matter, no matter what choice you make, the position of the star of the team is left to you, it doesn't matter if God comes, I said it! ”

"You don't believe in God, Siat! Can you show more sincerity to God? ”

"Isn't this business, you've ever seen a businessman talk to death."

"That's right...... McHale, I've decided, play in the NBA! ”

"Oh! That's great, we're all ready to lose money for two years, and if you join, we'll definitely be profitable! ”

"But I have one condition."

"What conditions do you say, except for a salary increase."

"Change the general manager! Right now! Immediately! Right away! Find a general manager with a normal IQ!

I want to strangle him, how many people has he given to other teams for free over the years?

Morris Taylor, Lamond Murray, Isaac Austin, Rodney Rodgers, Brent Barry, Lloy Ott ...... In the past three summers, whoever played well sent him away, and there was nothing in return, for nothing, this should have been my teammates!

I don't want a good general manager, but I have to be in my right mind.

By the way, McHale, you guys manage the team, you don't pick like Sterling, right? ”

After hearing this, the old man also spewed out a sentence of "Vake".

He has heard all of these names, and when he left the Clippers, it seemed that he had just played a career-high performance, either averaging 15+ per game, or averaging two double-doubles per game, or he had just shown his talent and entered a stage of rapid rise.

Because there are only one or two a year, he doesn't pay much attention to the Clippers, so he doesn't have any idea.

But putting these names together, he is not good.

"Change! I'll ask Caesar to fire him right away, you don't have to worry about the team's investment in this, the big boss is Microsoft's side, he is the big boss, and we are only a small shareholder.

By the way, Leo, I'm just in charge of talking to you about continuing to play in college or joining the team immediately, and changing the general manager is a requirement for you to return to the team, but I don't have the right to interfere in the affairs between you and the Clippers after that, at most I can help you convey your opinions. ”

"McHale, I didn't expect you, a guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes, to be such a chicken thief, because I was worried that I would not play well after entering the NBA, and I would be worthless, and I kicked me, and I can't blame you?"

"How can you think that? We're friends...... But business, that's how business works...... Hey, the main thing is that I'm getting old, maybe one day you're going to bow to my black and white photo, or I'll be my own boss. ”

"You turtle spirit, you can't hang up for the time being."

"Thank you for your blessings."

Li Ao and the old man exchanged a few words, but they didn't pay much attention to it.

In this regard, he still has a certain understanding of the old man, who is originally a businessman.

Suddenly, Li Ao thought of something, and a sentence of "and" spewed out.

The old man cautiously asked, "What's wrong?" What else are the requirements? You say, I don't necessarily satisfy you, I'm not the boss. ”

"Vako! Why didn't you say it earlier? I'm going to hammer Sterling first! Hammer him now, maybe he'll be caught. ”

Uncle:( ̄┏_┓ ̄)

Eagle sauce has a law that is very interesting, a fight between colleagues, than a fight between two passers-by, the punishment is lighter, as long as you don't make an accident, even if the other party wants to sue, you have to go to court, it's a long, long time later, and at most you lose money.

But now that it's no longer an employment relationship, it's not a colleague, and the court will impose harsher penalties.

Looking at Li Ao, who was annoyed, the old man's expression was very exciting.

He was sure that the thing was really regretting the loss of the opportunity to beat Sterling without taking the blame.

The heart is so big!

…

With the Clippers changing hands, the turmoil has calmed down.

With a new owner, the Clippers announced that they are moving their training venue back to Memorial Stadium, just over a 20-minute walk from the Staples Center.

This operation made all the players of the Clippers very happy.

Although the city is a little congested, it is not so much that you have to drive for an hour to train.

After Li Ao learned that Memorial Stadium would charge the Clippers for the rental of the training venue as usual, he felt that the old man's family just wanted to make more money.

Renting a warehouse in an old industrial area is cheap, but you still have to pay rent.

However, renting the Memorial Stadium not only reduced the vacancy rate of the large training ground, but also made the money from the left hand to the right hand.

But he's also happy that it's closer to school, to the venue, to home.

And it's not his money that is spent, and Ballmer has no opinion, so he doesn't feel distressed.

That's it......

"Leo, call Boss to listen."

"I don't want it, Aunt Vivian, you're not a big boss."

"I want to be a big boss too! I've put all my money into it, that's all, but the Clippers are so expensive, I can't afford to sell me...... Quick, call the boss. ”

"I don't!"

Looking at Li Ao's aggrieved and stubborn expression, Vivian couldn't be happier.

Li Ao didn't expect it, but he was still ridden on the head by the assistant aunt.

No way! He's going to work hard! Struggle! He's going to roll over and ride on the boss's head!

The turmoil in Sterling did not have much impact on his training, and the NCAA made a decisive move, throwing an olive branch to him almost immediately, and had the idea of using him to open up the Chinese market.

The way he relieved his anger during that time was to train, train hard, ignore foreign affairs, lest he couldn't resist the Stirling knife.

It would be a great loss to really do that, the group of people in Washington was the most angry, and those people wished that someone would come out and take Sterling off.

There is still a period of time before the training camp, and Li Ao is now entering the life of attending classes at school, training at the Memorial Stadium, and going back to the apartment.

Occasionally, if you want to shoot an advertisement, you can't delay any time, and USC has an art school, where it's still very convenient to shoot an advertisement or something.

As he made the decision to play in the NBA, sponsors began to reconnect with the Clippers.

The two brands endorsed by Li Ao have also resumed the implementation of endorsement contracts.

Originally, because he might return to the NCAA to play, the two brands were ready to postpone the endorsement until the end of his college career, and I don't know what the NCAA will do, and now he can continue to shoot commercials.

When the team's training ground moved to the Memorial Stadium, Li Ao had more contact with his teammates.

The veterans are returning one after another, and their attitude towards Li Ao is ...... More afraid than the young people.

The older the rivers and lakes, the less courageous they are, they are really afraid of Li Ao's stunned youth, the key is that this stunned young man is not only ruthless, but also a genius, and his commercial value is extremely high.

Confess and keep safe.

Li Ao's current training has more sparring work, and he takes the initiative to be a sparring partner.

Anti-Odom, anti-Kenyon-Doolin, anti-Margeti...... Occasionally, I couldn't think about it, and I took the initiative to ask O'Neill Jr. to be a sparring partner.

At first, the teammates were afraid, for fear that they would be blown up after beating Li Ao.

But after trying a few times and finding that Li Ao was furious to practice his defensive steps even if he was blown up, they became bolder.

Usually they don't dare to speak loudly, but when they are one-on-one with Li Ao, they dare to use their strength! began to take the initiative to invite Li Ao to be a sparring partner.

Seeing this, the veterans also began to move, and McGinnis, Brian Jenkins, and Teylon Nesby, three veterans with the ability to hold the ball, joined the ranks of looking for Li Ao to be a sparring partner.

Gradually, the teammates felt that it was not difficult to get along with Li Ao, as long as the psychological tolerance was strong enough, and it would be better if there was a mouth that was more damaged than this guy with an extra mouth......

……

……

Last night's work and entertainment, I arrived home at more than 1 o'clock, and I wrote more than 3 o'clock, and I didn't get up in the morning, crying...... Update late, little wind of the pot.
