Bishop of the Devil

"What conditions would you mention?" Richard asked, frowning.

Stern took Xiao Hua to help himself, which for Richard was nothing short of a pie in the sky.

He knew very well that pies wouldn't fall out of the sky, and Stern's actions at this moment could not have no purpose.

Stern laughed, Richard was so smart...

"It is indeed a condition, but in fact this is for your own good, to be precise for the alliance."

"Unsurprisingly, I feel that you may stay with the Los Angeles Clippers until you retire." Stern said.

Richard nodded, Stern was right, and he was indeed preparing for the Los Angeles Clippers.

Because there is no need to continue to change teams, the Clippers are arguably the most attractive team in the entire league, none of them.

Making the Clippers the No. 1 giant in the league is not a matter of three years or five years, not even ten or eight years. It may consume Richard's life.

In this case, it is naturally impossible to leave the Clippers, Richard will tie up with the Clippers in his life.

"Yes, I do have the idea of ​​the old Clippers, but what does this have to do with your conditions? Don't you want me to die old Clippers?" Richard frowned, wondering.

Stern waved his hand, "We certainly hope that you will end up with the Clippers. Only in this alliance can you make the Clippers a giant like the Lakers. Only you, no one else." Stern said with a smile.

"But, I hope you can exercise restraint..."

"You can win the championship, even from time to time, it's not impossible, but don't overdo it. If the championships are all Clippers in the next decade or more, do you think anyone will watch the game? "

"A game without suspense is the most boring game."

Richard nodded, it turned out that Stern's condition was this.

Speaking of which, even if Stern does not mention this condition, Richard may also pay attention to this matter.

Too many championships, such as the four consecutive championships like the Pirates, are actually very harmful to the league.

At least this year's finals, the ratings will be much lower than the previous finals, it is foreseeable that if the Pirates continue to reach the finals this year, and slam their opponents in a crushing attitude, I am afraid to watch the ball Fans will become fewer.

Because there is no suspense at all, some fans like to watch the game of hanging opponents, but the vast majority of fans still prefer the thrilling and exciting start.

Richard was originally prepared to get to the Clippers, pay attention to this in this regard, winning the championship is certainly still winning, but pay attention to skills.

"Relax, I will pay attention to this matter, even if you don't say it, I will be a little calm." Richard nodded.

"Not only that, but after the rise of your Clippers, I know you can build a team that will hang the league, but try to leave some suspense in the finals." Stern continued. .

Richard nodded. The conditions mentioned by Stern are less championships and more suspense. This is not an excessive condition. Richard can fully agree.

He is in this alliance, and naturally hopes that the alliance will become more and more prosperous, so that he can have a place to use.

If one day the league goes bankrupt, then Richard will have nothing to pursue in his life...

It is natural for Richard to understand the truth of the cold of lips.

Now Richard is more like a fisherman. If he is exhausted, he will do no good to anyone. The biggest influence may be Richard himself.

"Yes, I agreed to this condition." Richard agreed quite readily.

Stern and Xiao Hua looked at each other and smiled. It seems that Richard is not that kind of stunned head. It doesn't make any sense. At least at the moment, he happily agreed to the conditions he proposed.

At this time, Richard's 40-year-old age is naturally impossible to be surprised.

Stern and the two also knew that Richard had made the necessary temperament, and since he had agreed now, there would be no repentance or violent behavior.

"Okay, we will help you get the Clippers as much as possible."

"By the way, I may retire in the next two years. In the future, Xiao Hua will serve as the president of the league. I hope that you two can work together to push the league to a higher level. I don’t expect to be the largest sports league in North America, but Also try to catch up with the NFL as much as possible." Stern didn't hide from Richard, he said his retirement plan.

Richard nodded again. Stern's retirement plan was two years earlier than normal.

Thinking of Stern’s contribution to the league over the past few decades, Richard couldn’t help but respectfully.

I'm unhappy with Stern, but Richard Stern's professionalism still makes Richard respectable.

In terms of ability, means, and pattern, Stern must be much stronger than Xiao Hua, which is why Richard has never liked dealing with Stern.

Stern is too old and sly...

Although he has a lot of black spots in his career, overall, he is a very successful president.

Succeeding to the point where there are no ancients and no comers, Stern did not have a more successful president before him, and after that, it is estimated that there will not be a better president than Stern...

Unless a president can really lead the NBA league to overtake the NFL and become the largest sports league in North America.

But this seems unlikely...

...

The next morning, Stern took Xiao Hua and Richard to go to Sterling's residence in Los Angeles.

Although the League now hosts the Clippers, and the Clippers' profit Stern can't get a dime, the Clippers are still under Sterling's name.

Now Stern is going to clear the first obstacle for Richard...

This obstacle is also the only thing that Stern can do for Richard. As for Richard Ballmer's competitor Ballmer, that cannot be solved by Stern.

"What do you mean? Stern, why did you bring him here?" After seeing Richard, Stern shivered in popularity, and wished to step forward to find Richard to single out.

If he wasn't old, he might not be able to do Richard, he could really do such a thing...

"It's not interesting, this time with Richard, there is naturally something."

"Richard has the idea of ​​acquiring the Clippers. What do you think we are here for?" Stern said with a gentle smile.

Hearing Stern's words, Sterling almost jumped up.

I was so miserable by Richard that now Richard is still buying the Clippers? !

In a flash, Sterling seemed to think of something...

Could it be that one's own pit was part of Richard's plan to acquire the Clippers? !

After all, the world knows that he has no idea of ​​selling the Clippers. In this case, Richard can only use some conspiracies to trap himself.

Thinking of this, Sterling was even more anxious.

"impossible!"

"Dead this heart, the Clippers are still an industry under my name. As long as I don't sell them to Richard, don't try to get involved in the Clippers in his life!"

"Richard, don't think I don't know what you did, you are dreaming~www.readwn.com~You never want to get the Clippers, I will sell him to Ballmer!" Stirling mood Excited and yelled at Richard three.

Richard touched his nose awkwardly. Did Sterling know that he had pitted him?

It is true that Richard said that Sterling had pitted Sterling.

But to be precise, Richard can only say that Stirling has been halved, because even if Richard does not do it, some people will do it, but it is a matter of time.

In the final analysis, the problem still lies with Stirling himself. If he cleanses himself and spends a good time with his old lady, if he is not a racist or a white supremacist...

Now Sterling certainly doesn't have so many shit.

To sum up in one sentence, it is that the flies do not sting seamlessly.

...

Faced with Stirling's roar, Richard just looked at Stirling with a smile, and said nothing. The old boy was miserable. At this moment, let him vent.
