Chapter 813 [The struggle to the end, everyone's expectations]

Griffin was the No. 09 pick in the [-] draft, and Curry was only the seventh. Now the media say that Curry is better than him. Even Yang Rui said in an interview that the MVP would vote for Curry, which made him very uncomfortable.

Griffin admits that when facing the media, Curry can speak better than himself, has higher emotional intelligence, and Curry's popularity is also higher than him, but he does not think he is worse than Curry in terms of personal ability.

Jealousy can affect a person's mentality. Griffin wants to be the boss in the Clippers. He is an All-Star player, a person who won the Finals MVP in the second season of his career, and Curry was only the best sixth man on the team.Since he won the MVP honor earlier than Curry, how can he be willing to be the second child all his life?
Now, Griffin is also a little dissatisfied with the coaching staff. He feels that the coach has not arranged more tactics for him, with him as the axis, otherwise he can play better.

In Yang Rui's previous life, Paul and Griffin did not have a harmonious relationship. In the 14-15 season, Glenn Davis joined the Clippers and expressed his dissatisfaction with the Clippers after leaving: "The Clippers do not deserve a championship. They're not a team, they're not even a team, they're gangs and small groups, Jordan and Griffin are together, Paul is at odds with them, I've never seen a ball with such a bad atmosphere team!"

Griffin's friend once broke the news that neither Griffin nor Jordan was willing to play with Paul. Jordan had something to do with Paul when he almost joined the Mavericks. Paul, who is desperate for victory, has a very bad temper and often criticizes his teammates in public. , His attitude made the other two stars very dissatisfied.

Although Curry has no temper now, big-name stars are all ambitious. Back then, McGrady and Carter parted ways because of core issues, and inside and outside stars are more prone to problems, such as Kobe and star centers.

This is called a mountain can not accommodate two tigers, unless James and Wade.

Yang Rui saw Griffin's idea early on, but he didn't mention it, nor did he reduce Curry's ball rights, because Curry's three-point shot attracts defense more than Griffin's two-point shot.

Griffin can't get more balls, it's just that he didn't practice the three-point shot well. If he can shoot [-]% from the outside and average two goals per game, he must be the first power forward in the league.

There is no infighting in the locker room, Yang Rui will not talk to Griffin alone to mention these matters, he will observe Griffin to see if he can make greater progress in the future.If he only wants to compete for the top spot, but has no dominance, Yang Rui can't let him replace Curry, he will only consider trading him out for other star players.

Griffin is not irreplaceable. There are many stars in the league without rings, and there must be some who want to change teams to join the Clippers.Like that kind of talent, there are more stars that can easily be exchanged before reaching the peak.

The Clippers are relatively easy in the next part of the schedule, there is no strong team, only the Nuggets caused a little trouble for the Clippers.

Although the lineup has changed a bit, the Nuggets are strong. Iguodala, Gallinari and Ty Lawson form a trident on the outside.

Wilson - Chandler, Nate - Robinson off the bench is not weak.The Nuggets lost on defense. Both JJ Hickson and Mozgov have average defensive abilities. Robinson and Ty Lawson at No. 1 lack height and are not easy to interfere with shooting.

Christmas is coming soon. On this day, Clippers players and fans have received good news that the Clippers will change owners.

Donald Sterling made a 32-page response to the league's allegations against him last week, and repeatedly claimed that no one has the right to force himself to sell his team, and if the league is strong, it will fight in the end!

However, the sale of the Clippers is already in the works, as owners voted for Sterling to sell the team, and Sterling's family agreed that his wife Shelly would act as a proxy for the sale.

Then, a funny thing happened. A group of people formed a consortium and went to Los Angeles in a hurry to bid for the Clippers. Sterling immediately broke a big news. It is written that Yang Rui and Thomas have the right of first refusal to buy the Clippers shares.

The bidding teams were all dumbfounded, and the letter of intent to acquire the Clippers was ready in vain.

Seeing that these people couldn't wait to take the Clippers, Sterling was so pissed off that Yang Rui and Thomas became more and more pleasing to the eye.At least Facebook has never threatened him, and the two have always been very polite to him, just like juniors, discussing everything with him.

He compared Yang Rui with the old men who formed the consortium, and the gap was too great.If those people had the strength of Facebook, they would not have left any bones and scum that they ate, and would not show any sympathy.He feels that it is much better to hand over the team to Yang Rui than to these people who have fallen into trouble.

Stern was scheming, but he never thought that Yang Rui would come up with such a trick as early as 10 years ago. If there is no other consortium bidding, the Clippers may not be able to sell at a particularly high price.

However, the alliance could not stand up and say that the agreement signed by Yang Rui before had no legal effect, in order to allow more people to participate.

If it wasn't for the attraction of shares, how could Yang Rui join a team like the Clippers at the bottom?If Yang Rui did not join, the Clippers would not be in the top [-], and the price would be much lower.

If you have a lawsuit with Facebook and cancel the agreement, let’s not say whether the lawsuit can be won or not. Offending Facebook is a certainty.

As for other consortiums, they will not make the first move to question Facebook's contract. Even Steve Ballmer, the former CEO and president of Microsoft Corporation, did not like the Clippers to the point where they want to fight with other giants.

There are many friends, many paths, and many enemies, many walls. No matter which country's business circle, they all talk about making money with peace. When you see that the Clippers are not easy to compete, everyone will not fight.

Shelly said in an interview that she has no problem with the Clippers selling Jerry Young, as long as the price is right, she will negotiate with representatives of Facebook in the near future.

The media expects the offer to be more than $10 billion. This is still under the premise that Yang Rui won 10% of the shares in 30 years. The Clippers with two championships and the Clippers who could not enter the Western Conference finals in their previous lives are not the same concept.

Yang Rui and Thomas estimate that the amount they want to negotiate must be more than 15 billion US dollars, but the Clippers are not short of stars and popularity, and they can be bought in one step.

Fans like and support Yang Rui as the boss, because he is the "basketball pope". He understands the ball and the rules of the NBA. He will definitely run the team well, much better than Sterling.

The players are also very happy, because Yang Rui has money, and as long as he plays well in the Clippers, he will definitely not treat them badly in terms of salary.

Yang Rui is the boss, which is well-received.

Sterling is just dying, and even if he sue the league, the chances of success are slim.Because he has signed the NBA charter statute, the president's ruling and the owner's vote are both arbitral awards implemented under the statutes, and even the U.S. Constitution makes it difficult to challenge an arbitral award.

Yang Rui knew that the old man was angry, so he did not contact him, and let the Facebook brokerage team help with the operation. He only wanted to lead the team to win.

This year, the league has arranged five Christmas games, and the Clippers will host the Spurs at home, which is the highlight of the day.

A month later, the players also wore clothes to boycott Sterling. They were in a better mood, stabilized their mentality, and could play better games. They all have the confidence to beat the Spurs on this special day.

The Spurs won't sit still, they're now second in the league with a 23-6 record, behind only the Clippers, who have lost three games.
