0698: [Clippers boss Sterling stabbed the big basket](2/2)
At the same time, the Clippers players were also plunged into incomparable anger. They could not accept that they worked for a boss who discriminated against black people. The hot-tempered Jordan even publicly stated his refusal to play for such a team again: If Sterling does not get out,
if.
The military morale was instantly shaken.
Li Zhen was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.
He never dreamed that there was no fire in his backyard, but his boss would create such a big trap.
At this juncture, he has no way to do ideological work, because this is a big issue of right and wrong for black people. If you try to mobilize them to play the game seriously, he will think that you are a fellow traveler of the evil Sterling.
At this time, the players in New York, led by Wade, made news that they refused to play the Finals with the Los Angeles Clippers. They did not board the scheduled plane to Los Angeles, which was clearly putting pressure on the NBA.
The third game of the finals will inevitably be suspended.
And if this continues, the league will definitely declare the New York Knicks to win this game... It's so ridiculous sometimes.
At this time, David Stern showed the qualities that a great manager should have.
He publicly put pressure on Sterling. He asked Sterling to sell all the team's shares within a week, and also limited the team's price to no more than 600 million US dollars.
This is undoubtedly a disaster for Sterling.
He had just reached the peak of his career, but now he was completely fooled because of his years of discrimination, coupled with the fact that he suddenly caught fire in the backyard because of his talk.
He quickly jumped out and explained that the team equity was already his wife's property and he had no rights whatsoever.
His wife also jumped out to defend her husband, or to safeguard the interests of the family.
Everyone knows how amazingly commercially successful the Clippers will be with Bruce.
She even pointed out that she and Sterling had already agreed to divorce.
However, the NBA doesn't care about this.
Even the government is exerting pressure.
The United States does not pay close attention to the issue of personal style. Even though Li Zhen was exposed to so many gossips, he still had a good life. But once conflicts between races are provoked, God cannot save you.
What's interesting is that as David Stern issued the order to force his withdrawal, countless financial groups and wealthy people around the world took action after hearing the news.
Bill Gates, the world's richest man who has no interest in basketball, expressed strong interest, but later gave up when his partner Ballmer officially entered the game.
In addition, the Saudi crown prince, Russian tycoons, and Hollywood conglomerates are all involved.
Interestingly, many NBA team owners also bid in various forms.
They all want the Clippers.
Sterling was going crazy at this time. He never thought that his wealth would be deprived of his wealth in this way, but he had to make a decision. Because many government departments have begun to investigate his tax records... He was arrested for talking high.
Targeted across the board.
He must make a decision.
However, he could not watch the consortium take away his wealth so forcefully.
So, he held a press conference.
Faced with reporters' repeated attacks and aggressive inquiries, he issued a three-point statement under the protection of his bodyguards: first: to explain himself. Second, to accuse Tracy and the website of illegal activities. Third, I am working with
Professor Li's equity agreement has long stated that if I want to sell my equity, I can only sell it to him.
Sterling is equivalent to giving the NBA a counterattack.
Professor Li is Li Zhen's father. Although the alliance opened a backdoor to Li Zhen last year, if the Li family is allowed to control all the shares, it will seriously affect the rules and regulations of the alliance.
If the alliance cannot solve this problem, the equity issue will naturally have to be shelved.
Sterling's hand is indeed beautiful.
Professor Li saw the news on TV and was stunned.
The son lying on the sofa was also stunned.
Even his two grandsons stopped making noise just in time.
What? Can this share still fall into our hands?
Professor Li was stunned.
But then I thought about it, yes! If we get all the equity, we are working for ourselves. Why should we create benefits for others?
Lao Li pondered for a while, and then said to Li Zhen: "Otherwise, I will publish an announcement in the newspaper that we will break away from the relationship between father and son."
Forehead….
Li Zhen shook his head angrily.
Then he smiled and said to Professor Li: "Believe in David Stern."
