The God of Basketball

"It's the God of Basketball ()" Find the latest chapter!

David Stern is a wily man. In the process of promoting the alliance, he has experienced many challenges, but without exception, he resolved them all.

For him, Li Zhen is another sharp edge for the NBA to expand its influence again, even greater than Michael Jordan's role.

So he turned a blind eye to Li Chen's lace news, just like he never commented on Michael Jordan's off-court news back then.

Now, Sterling kicked the ball over.

He even said hello.

Selling the Clippers to Li and his son is undoubtedly the best choice. He has always been worried that Li Zhen will leave the NBA one day, because his wealth from off the court has far exceeded that on the court. He has a great relationship with Michael Jordan. the difference.

The vast majority of Michael Jordan's wealth comes from basketball, which is his only way of making money.

But Bruce, his book wealth has been able to rank among the top owners in the NBA... So, why not just let him become the owner?

David Stern called an all-NBA owner meeting.

Once something like the bottom line is broken through, it will plummet even faster.

From the moment they acquiesced to Li Zhen's family owning 20% ​​of the shares, Bruce Lee was already a detached existence.

Li Zhen's existence benefits everyone in the league. His huge star aura increases the influence of the entire league, and any team can enjoy ticket blessings against the Clippers.

Although, the plan proposed by David Stern makes every boss feel a little bit wrong.

But at the same time, they really want to tie Li Zhen to the NBA permanently. Then the best way is to make him the team owner once and for all. Anyway, now, the Clippers Club must sell.

"We have to set some difficulty. Otherwise, every player will ask the team so in the future." Mark Cuban was the first to express his attitude.

He is a businessman, and a businessman is always seeking to maximize profits.

David Stern had expected it.

"Of course strict regulations will be formulated. We call it the exclusive privilege of honored players, that is, the relatives or individuals of players who have won two consecutive MVPs in the finals before the age of 25 have the right to obtain the equity of any team. But equity transactions cannot override Above the normal contract. Not to mention it cannot affect the player contract.”

David Stern said slowly.

"Then what if this player deliberately pays himself a very low salary after he becomes the owner?" Phoenix's owner put forward his opinion, which he believed would affect the fairness of the game.

"The second rule is that when a player becomes a shareholder of the team, the team must pay him the maximum salary when he works for the team. Of course, he also has the freedom to change jobs and trade." Stern emphasized.

Two laws come down.

All the people here are smart people, and they all understand that this is tailor-made for Li Zhen.

"It's not fair!"

James Dolan slapped the table and jumped up. He said angrily, "Why didn't you do this two years ago? It was clear that you were targeting the Knicks."

This is everyone's expected reaction. It would be an accident if James Dolan didn't say so.

James Dolan is very distressed now. He thinks he is targeting the Knicks now. He feels like a victim.

However, Mark Cuban next to him was already satirizing him: "Who told you to drive away Bruce? You prefer to challenge the difficulty. You don't want the team that won two consecutive championships. You have to pay billions of dollars in luxury taxes to prove your financial resources. Who is to blame?"

Mark Cuban's eccentricity made the billionaires in the conference room unable to hold back their laughter.

David Stern made up his mind, and he quickly announced the vote.

29 teams.

Except for the New York Knicks, Los Angeles Lakers, Charlotte Bobcats and Houston Rockets, all voted for it!

The minority obeys the majority, without a doubt.

David Stern announced the passage of this clause... don't even discuss it with the players union,

This is something the bosses can fix.

In the evening of that day, David Stern appeared in front of the media with a serious face. He quickly announced that a new bill was officially passed after discussions among all the bosses in the league.

The details of this clause were sent to reporters half an hour ago.

David Stern ignored the reporters' inquiries, and he ignored the thorny questions thrown by the New York reporters.

What do you mean, is this blatantly favoring Bruce Lee?

Of course it is!

Otherwise, why make such a big meeting? The finals have been suspended for almost a week, should they continue to be put on hold like this?

Strictly speaking, Bruce Lee is also the bread and butter of your group of media. If you force him away, you will not get so much news and so much traffic.

"Jack Lee, since you have made a reservation in advance, from now on, you have priority. If you choose to give up, you can apply to the alliance headquarters within two working days."

David Stern finally shouted to the TV.

Done enough tricks.

This is the rigor of Westerners.

...

Jack Lee is in circles.

That's it?

The Los Angeles Clippers just fell into my hands?

He looked at Li Zhen in disbelief.

Li Zhen turned around and looked at his father: "Are you going to give up?"

"Of course not!" Jack Lee shook his head quickly: "But I don't have that much cash."

Li Zhen smiled.

He thought to himself that such high-quality assets as the Clippers were only sold for 600 million U.S. dollars. As long as Jack Lee yelled, a lot of banks came to provide low-interest loans.

It's just that Li Zhen hasn't spoken yet.

The daughter-in-law Ashley Olsen on the side said: "I have money, can I take some shares?"

Jack Lee thought they were all daughter-in-laws, so how could he not agree.

Commit now.

This promise is incredible.

Anne Hathaway hurried over and acted like a baby to her father-in-law: I also have money, and I also want to buy shares.

Then there's Scarlett Johansson.

Mary Olsen.

Elizabeth Olsen….

We've been talking about this for a long time, and Li Zhen can't favor one over another. He has to win a share for Gisele Bundchen, who has just left his own child, and Sharapova.

Moreover, he also left 20% for Taylor Swift's girlfriends group.

After all, rain and dew are equal.

Frankly speaking, Lao Li has mixed feelings.

Although he knew that his daughter-in-law was rich, he didn't expect to be so rich.

Where is the use of the bank?

After a while, almost 800 million was collected, and there was even a surplus.

In the end, Li Zhen came forward. With the assistance of lawyers, everyone formed a consortium headed by Jack Li.

Jack Lee does not hold any shares this time, because he originally owned 20% of the shares.

The acquisition of 80% of Sterling's shares was divided into several pieces. Twenty percent for Swift's girlfriends. Ashley Olsen got 10%, Anne Hathaway, Scarlett Johansson, Gisele Bundchen, and Sharapova got 9% each for conceiving and giving birth to the Li family. Sisters Mary and Elizabeth Olsen each received five percent. What's left is Ms. Anne Wang's.

This is a suggestion made by Ms. Anne Wang.

Because, Professor Wang is a person who thinks about everything before and after.

She knows her son very well, what if? In case he goes to mess around again and gets one or two back, he must not leave some shares for others.

This is a family-style joint venture company, and the latecomers should not be treated as outsiders, and should be exposed to both rain and dew.

The lawyers responsible for the contract were all fooled.

He had seen a lot in his life, but he had never seen anything like this.

Based on his good self-cultivation, he could only suppress the endless resentment deep in his heart, and when he drove the car out of the Li family's mansion, he yelled: Bruce Lee, fuck you, you ruined my sense of superiority as a man!

In this kind of scene, who would not collapse?

...

Sterling was very sad and carried out equity delivery with Jack Lee. He was very sad, but he was still a little relieved.

Although his property was robbed abruptly, at least the person who robbed him of his wealth was his friend.

And, overall, he didn't lose money in the Clippers deal.

"Jack. You have to be careful of the women around you, and never let anger occupy your brain." When Sterling handed over the team to Professor Li, he still did not forget to convey his experience and lessons to Li Zhen.

He really didn't want Lao Li to make the same mistakes again.

At the same time, he continued to say to Jack Lee: "You have to remind Bruce, now that he is the boss, don't play with women casually anymore. If any woman's backyard catches fire, he will be finished."

Although Jack Lee kept nodding, he didn't agree at all.

If Sterling knew that it was the women behind Li Zhen who bought his team, he might be even more stimulated.

"Donald, you are a very good person. From the first time we met, I thought you were a noble gentleman. Thank you for passing the team into our family. We will do our best to make the team a A better look."

"It's a permanent season ticket that we give you. We'll even make you a seat in the front row at home as a way of recognizing your contribution to the team."

Jack Lee is very good at talking about scenes.

Chinese people are like this. Words can always be used to make people feel respected, but in fact there is no need to do practical actions at all.

Sterling is now a street mouse, he dare not appear on the sidelines of the basketball court at all, if that black player is excited for a while, and flies over, his old bones will have to be completely finished.

Sterling was really moved. He patted Professor Li's hand with tears in his eyes. Old Li's family are all good people.

Chinese people talk about friendship!

However, he still declined Professor Li's proposal. At this age, he can no longer take this risk.

The two bid farewell.

Sterling left his office dejectedly, and this has been Jack Lee's office space ever since.

...

At the same time that the news that the Li Zhen family became the actual controller of the Clippers was announced, the schedule for the third game of the finals was also in place.

LeBron James and others never dreamed that the biggest beneficiary of this uproar would be Li Zhen.

They originally thought that suspending the finals would collapse the morale of the Clippers.

Unexpectedly... Now, is the finals still important?

Bruce has become the owner of the Clippers.

He did what Magic Johnson and Michael Jordan failed to do.

Moreover, it is conceivable that...the morale of the Clippers must be bursting now, and they ushered in a historic reversal after being suppressed. Instead of playing for that racist boss, they can directly play for the Bruce family they admire.

Why?

Why is the age limit before the age of 25? Why can't it be before the age of 28?

LeBron James struggles with this question.

Born in 1984, he is almost 27 years old this year. He has not won his first championship in his career, and he has lost the qualification to become the owner of an NBA team as an active player.

Why did Li Zhen get all the good things?

Why are all the rules pressed against his conditions?

James is remorseful.

What makes him regret even more is that a group of young NBA stars are very excited. The boss of the Bulls was even there to encourage Derrick Rose: "Come on! As long as you get the Finals MVP before the age of 25, we will give you shares!"

This new clause has become a weapon for the team to encourage young superstars.

More and more news is showing that the young superstars have given up vacations and started crazy training. Kevin Durant, Derrick Rose, Westbrook, Stephen Curry... They are all like sharks smelling blood.

In contrast, those players who have crossed the 25-year-old mark are all very sad.

Especially Kobe.

After Shaq O'Neal retired, Kobe Bryant is the only active player who has won two consecutive finals MVPs, but his age is too dead.

He has no way to get the shares of the Lakers.

Fortunately, the Lakers will not treat meritorious officials badly, and their contact with Houston has reached the most critical step.

The consortium that failed to acquire the Clippers set its sights on Houston, and Ballmer, Microsoft's second-in-command top ten, negotiated with Alexander.

If there is no accident, he will acquire the Houston Rockets at a price close to 900 million US dollars.

And once he completes the acquisition, Yao Huang will join the Lakers unstoppably.

Of course, look back at that number.

You can see how much money the Bruce family has made from Grandet Sterling.

The Clippers' current ability to absorb money is much stronger than Houston, but he only sold it for 600 million US dollars.

Some media ridiculed Sterling, he had been frugal all his life, but a video tape helped the Bruce family.

The Bruce family didn't do anything, and the value of the resale doubled.

Moreover, as long as the Clippers win the championship, their market value will continue to increase.

And it will further increase with the expansion of the team's influence.

It is very likely to become the most valuable team in the league in the future.

Ashley Olsen was muttering there, this is definitely the most valuable financial management.

At the same time, it also increased the interaction between them and Li Zhen.

They are becoming more and more adept at using their status as bosses to communicate with their number one player. For example, Ashley called him into the room as the number two shareholder that night, unspoken rules for him.

Sure enough, it has a different flavor.

Li Zhen suspected that he might also have a problem.
