Godfather of the NBA: Cutting Curry and creating a dynasty

Summer 2009, 5.

In a conference room in downtown Los Angeles.

"Mr. Yang Li, congratulations, starting today, you are officially the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers."

A white lawyer stood up with a smile, shook hands with the yellow-skinned young man in front of him and said.

"Thank you, Mr. Wilson." Yang Li smiled and responded very politely.

At this time, Donald Sterling at the other end of the table got up angrily and left the meeting room directly.

After getting into his car, Sterling pressed the switch of the recording pen he just got from Yang Li.

"I just want to say that on your dirty ins, you don't need to post pictures of yourself with black people everywhere..."

"Even if it's a magician on horseback, the whole world will see it, and then ask me about it. Also, don't bring him (magician) into my game..."

Yang Li's disgusting face seemed to appear before his eyes again: "Mr. Sterling, you don't want people to know your racist remarks, do you?"

"Damn Yang Li!"

After Sterling finished speaking, he slammed the recorder hard.

Yang Li, a Chinese student who graduated from UCLA.

He was already in his thirties, with a successful career and a happy family.

But he never dreamed that he would be reborn in 2006.

But the rebirth was three years ago.

On that day, Yang Li was watching the third game of the Finals between the Celtics and the Warriors at home.

After seeing the poor performance of the Warriors, especially Green, Yang Li was so angry that he had a cerebral hemorrhage, and he died immediately.

Then, he was reborn.

"Damn Green!"

Thinking back to this, Yang Li couldn't help but curse.

Now three years have passed, and Yang Li has also graduated from UCLA.

During his school days, Yang Li relied on his previous life's memory and knowledge (open cheating) to survive the subprime mortgage crisis sweeping the world and earn a lot of money.

Now Yang Li has a net worth of 8.5 million US dollars.

Converted into adult currency, it is a full 58 billion! (Why 58?)

Of course, making money is not Yang Li's goal, he is not interested in money.

What he is most interested in is to create a new dynasty in nba!

According to the memories of his previous life, Yang Li directly targeted Donald Sterling, the owner of the Los Angeles Clippers.

In his previous life, Sterling, a bad old man, was forced to sell the Los Angeles Clippers because of the exposure of racially discriminatory recordings.

In this life, Yang Li followed suit.

He paid a lot of money to a Latino supermodel, and recorded Sterling's horrible racist remarks again.

Naturally, Yang Li used this recording to have a cordial and friendly exchange with Sterling.

The former acquired the Los Angeles Clippers from the latter for $5 million.

Although in Los Angeles, the Clippers had a record of 08 wins and 09 losses in the 19-63 season.

Ranked second to last in the league, only stronger than the Sacramento Kings with 17 wins and 61 losses.

Therefore, according to the market at this time, Sterling is not at a loss for such a big team selling 5 million US dollars.

Although he didn't have any plans to sell the Clippers before.

However, several vicious black demonstrations broke out in Los Angeles recently, and Sterling had no choice but to agree to Yang Li's acquisition.

Of course, all of this was also arranged by Yang Li.

Those parade guys only know how to make trouble with money, but they don't know who asked them to do it and why they did it.

The next day, two stories hit the front page of the Los Angeles Times at the same time.

One of them is that the 2009 NBA draft lottery was completed, and the Los Angeles Clippers won the No. [-] pick!

This lottery is the same as in the previous life, but Yang Li didn't dare to be [-]% sure before it was drawn.

The reason why he rushed to buy the Clippers before the lottery ceremony started was because he was worried that "Grandet" Sterling would inevitably ask for tens of millions more after seeing the Clippers win the No. [-] lottery.

Finally, there is another episode in the nba lottery ceremony.

The old head coach Dunleavy, who represented the Los Angeles Clippers in the lottery, was fired directly after the lottery ceremony!

Let me talk about another piece of news, which is the headline on the front page of the "Los Angeles Times" today!

"The Los Angeles Clippers changed hands, and the new owner turned out to be a Chinese with a green card!"

In less than half a day, the name Yang Li spread throughout the west coast.

People are full of curiosity about the new head of the Clippers, and they have speculated about his identity and origin.

Many media outlets on the west coast approached Yang Li, but Yang Li directly declined all interviews.

He only asked his assistant to release a sentence to the media:

The Clippers announce rebuilding!

So the top priority is to complete the rebuilding of the Clippers as soon as possible!

Yang Li sat in front of the desk with a note spread on the desk, picked up the phone and dialed out.

"Hi, who is this?"

The person on the other end of the phone obviously didn't know Yang Li's number.

"Hi, Bob." Yang Li said, "Maybe you haven't heard of me, my name is Yang Li..."

"Oh my God, Yang! I know you!"

Bob Myers on the other end of the phone exclaimed directly.

"You are the new owner of the Los Angeles Clippers!"

"That's right, it's me." Yang Li said, "I'll call you..."

"My God, Yang." Miles interrupted Yang Li directly.

"You must have found me from the Clippers' resume mailbox. I sent my resume to the Clippers last summer."

"Ah? Yes, that's right." Yang Li was taken aback for a moment, then laughed at himself.

If I knew this earlier, why would I bother to find your contact information?

"I know you are looking at us as UCLA alumni." Miles continued, "But please believe me, I will definitely be qualified for the job of the Clippers player manager!"

"Then it's a deal, next week, oh no, you will report tomorrow!"

After putting down the phone, Yang Li happily fell back on the chair.

Bob Myers, professional team manager.

In 14, he became the general manager of the Golden State Warriors.

In the next four years, the Warriors made it to the finals four times and won three championships.

All these honors are inseparable from his work behind the scenes.

Now, this guy wants to join the Clippers so actively, so Yang Li naturally wishes for it!

The next day, Miles came to Yang Li's office early in the morning.

"Yang, it's unbelievable that you are only 22 years old!"

The two had chatted for a while, and Miles still couldn't believe that the young man in front of him was the new helm of the Clippers.

"It's nothing to be surprised about. LeBron has been in the NBA for 4 years at my age and has reached the finals."

Yang Li smiled, and then added: "Although he didn't gain even one victory."

"Haha." Miles smiled, and continued: "Speaking of which, I would like to invite you to read the scouting report I compiled."

"Okay, let me see who we should pick this year." Yang Li nodded and took Miles' scouting report.

After opening, the first page is the No. [-] pick-Blake Griffin.

"Excellent physical fitness, terrible explosive power, good ball handling ability, excellent mid-range shooting ability..."

"Myers, do you think we should choose Griffin?" Yang Li raised his head and asked.

"Of course!" Myers said, "Unless you can see what happens in the next ten years, Griffin is the undisputed No. [-] pick!"

Yang Li was taken aback for a moment, then burst out laughing.

That's right, Yang Li himself knew very well that in the 2009 NBA Draft, any team that got the No. [-] pick would choose Griffin.

However, I can really see what happened in the next ten years.

In this rookie class, the best player is actually not Griffin, but the amazing kid from Davis College.

Stephen Curry!
