Chapter 1198 Going to the Asian Championships

Steve Ballmer, the former CEO of Microsoft, has a higher position than Gates.

But that is in the past tense.

Ballmer's years of struggle made Microsoft the company that changed the world today.

But now, Ballmer has successfully "won" the Clippers by relying on his hard work in the bidding contest and a record price of 20 billion U.S. dollars, and officially entered the Clippers.

In the future, Ballmer will put all his energy on the Clippers, just like he dedicated all of himself to Microsoft.

"Now, I want to tell all the Clippers fans, the Clippers players and management, everyone~!!, the purpose of my coming here is to make the Clippers a championship team , we want to win more regular seasons, we want to win more series, we want to enter the finals that we have never been to, we want to win the championship, we have to defend the championship, and then create our own The dynasty of the Clippers~!!, I will never give up if I don’t achieve my goal~!!”

Inside the Staples Center, Ballmer said with an almost cold-blooded expression and a determined state.

"Yeah!!!"

"Crack clap clap!!!"

The fans listened, continued to clap their hands, and cheered.

If others say such things, they may be considered big talk, but Ballmer said that I believe many people think that the future of the Clippers is already very bright.

"Maybe this is the charm of a billionaire and a former CEO of Microsoft~, listening to such a speech is really exciting~!"

The general manager listened in the background, shaking his head and sighing.

"It seems that the Clippers really met a master this time~!!, and compared with that guy Sterling, it's a world of difference~!!"

The general manager continued to sigh.

After Sterling is no longer the owner of the Clippers, the general manager also used words like "that guy".

The general manager used to call him "Mr. Sterling" all the time.

"The Clippers used to give the impression of being weak, lacking combat effectiveness, and a long-term team with no team culture. But in the future, this situation will be permanently changed. Many players in the NBA have made great achievements. A long-term successful team, now, I believe that the Clippers will also work towards that goal, I promise, I will let the Clippers achieve historic success like Microsoft~!!"

Ballmer continued to speak, and the fans listened, feeling more excited than hearing LeBron James join.

Because of Ballmer's entry, and there is still a certain amount of time before the new season, in the next two months, many things may happen to the Clippers.

The offseason belonging to the Clippers seems to have just begun.

Whether Lan Shengli's third-year contract will be implemented depends on what Ballmer thinks.

Because Lan Shengli is currently preparing for the Asian Championships with the national team, so he may not have time to communicate with Ballmer in a short time.

Looking back to the other side of the Pacific Ocean, China, one of the four major furnaces, Wuhan, where the highest temperature in summer reaches 42 degrees, the Asian Men's Basketball Championship is about to start.

Although the dog days have passed in Wuhan today and it is mid-September, the weather is still hot.

In order to avoid the weather in Wuhan, the Chinese men's basketball team officially arrived in Wuhan only two days before the start of the Asian Championships.

"Oh my god~, it's really hot~ It feels like it's hotter than the desert in Phoenix~!!"

After Lan Shengli stepped out of the plane, he shielded himself from the scorching sun with his hands, sighing inwardly.

"I didn't expect that it's almost mid-September, and Wuhan is still so hot, I'm really going crazy~"

"I really hate hot weather. It would be great if I could play in Hainan~!"

"It's okay to go to Harbin, haha~!!"

The team members got off the plane one after another, chatting and joking.

Knowing that there are a large number of fans and media reporters waiting in the terminal building, the men's basketball players did not have the normal exit, but left along the VIP channel under the mutual escort of the airport security personnel. .

In order not to disappoint the fans, Deng Huade also came to the fans in person.

"You are the best fans in the world. With you here, the Chinese team will definitely win. I hope that when the game really starts, you can still bring us endless vitality. Come on~!!"

Deng Huade said excitedly to the fans.

"Ooh~!!!!"

Although the fans may not understand what Deng Huade is saying because of language problems, at least they can understand that Deng Huade's fighting spirit is enough.

Leaving the terminal in a low-key manner, the Chinese team soon arrived at the hotel where they stayed during the Asian Championships.

In the hotel, there are also a large number of media waiting.

And because of the addition of Lan Shengli, the interviewable focus and topicality of today's Chinese men's basketball team have become more.

"What is the difference between the work of a senior consultant and a head coach~?!"

Here the men's basketball team leader and others are checking in, and the reporters seized the time to ask Lan Shengli who was waiting on the sidelines.

"The salary of the head coach is higher than mine, and the pressure is greater than me~!"

Lan Shengli replied simply.

"What's it like to be in the men's basketball team for such a long time~?!"

The reporter continued to ask questions with the fastest speaking speed.

"It feels so good not to speak English during training~, haha~!!!"

Lan Shengli continued jokingly replied.

"Nothing~, in fact, I got used to it quite quickly here~, it is indeed easy to communicate, and the team members are really strong, so our cooperation is very pleasant~!!"

Lan Shengli answered seriously.

"The new owner of the Clippers was officially announced half a month ago and completed his inaugural speech last week. What do you think of the new owner Ballmer~?!"

A foreign reporter suddenly turned the topic back to the NBA.

"I found a very interesting thing, that is, when I was in the NBA, many reporters from China would ask me about the Chinese men's basketball team, and when I was in China, many foreign reporters asked me about the NBA. I feel that I have to say something and do something under certain circumstances, so I'm afraid I can't answer your question~"

Lan Shengli shook his head and responded.

"Let's go, Director Lan~"

The team members here reminded that Lan Shengli soon ended the brief interview and walked towards the elevator.

Checking into the hotel also proved that the Chinese team has officially set off for the Asian Championships.
