(Second update)

At 8 p.m. on November 18, 1994, the stands at the Toyota Center at the home court of the Los Angeles Clippers were already full of fans wearing Lakers jerseys. As the home court of the Clippers, most fans wore Lakers jerseys in the game. Such a scene is absolutely unseen in other cities in the NBA. I am afraid that only the Lakers and the Clippers will have home team games, and the number of fans in the visiting team is more than that of the home team.

Sterling moved the team to Los Angeles to make money. In San Diego, the Clippers lost money almost every year and needed their boss to pay for money every year. Generally speaking, after the NBA, after the salary cap system was released, as long as the team's total annual salary could be controlled within the salary cap, it was basically impossible to lose money. However, at that time, there was a salary cap system. The salary cap system was implemented after the Clippers came to Los Angeles. In that era without a salary cap system, although the salary of players was not very high, most teams in the league actually had a salary exceeding the standard. In this case, if the teams that exceeded the standard were a small city, even in a medium-sized city, it would definitely be a loss.

Not to mention that era without a salary cap, even in this era with a salary cap, the league's salary cap was 15 million last season. As long as everyone's annual salary is controlled within 15 million, then there will definitely be no losses. But in fact, in the last season, the entire 27 teams in the league really controlled the annual salary below 15 million, and there are only a few teams, such as the poorest teams in the league, the Dallas Mavericks and the Milwaukee Bucks. The Mavericks are really not rich, while the Bucks are team rebuilding. Dallas is a big city, but the market here is too small. Even the Minnesota Timberwolves, the total salary of this team exceeds the salary cap.

There is no way. The money the league now makes cannot keep up with the players' growing salary demand. Even any rookie dares to call for a 100 million contract. It is almost impossible for a team in such a league to not exceed the salary cap. Perhaps when the league signs a new broadcast agreement and can make a lot of money, the league's salary cap will exceed the total salary of most teams.

So, although the NBA is becoming more and more popular now, most teams are actually at a loss, which is true. The players also know that this is also one of the reasons why many old players in the league are very unhappy with the young people. Now most teams in the league are real bosses who are paying for money to play. If they meet some bosses who have no money but are very emotional, they hope that the team's performance will improve. They are really likely to sell the team at a low price and sell it to rich people. For example, the owner of the Jazz has had this idea more than once, but they are willing to promise to buy the team and stay in Salt Lake City, so there are no ones who want to sell it even if they want to.

Although many people call him the most stingy person in the league, this really misunderstood him. He is really stingy, but he is not an iron cock like the Timberwolves owner. This guy also knows that his team came to Los Angeles. For fans of Los Angeles, they are used to the glory of the Lakers and make them like a country team like the Clippers? That's impossible. If you want to make money, you need to invest money first. This is the same everywhere. Sterling is a complete profiteer and he knows this better than anyone else. In this case, the Clippers' salary last season almost reached the top of the NBA. The annual salary exceeded 20 million US dollars, which is a little less than the major NBA clubs. Other Jazz, Rockets, Spurs and other powerful teams are not as good as them. In this case, it's hard to say that Sterling is stingy.

After this team came to Los Angeles, he had lost 10 consecutive years. If he was still stingy, it would be really inhumane. If Sterling's performance was like he had been in the first ten years in Los Angeles, no one would have said that he was, but in the middle of last season, this guy threw the team's general manager Elgin Baylor to the side and traded the team's boss Manning, the second, Hapa and the third, Mark Jackson one after another. His very famous saying is that the transaction is not for anything, but for saving money, made him regarded as a stingy. As for moving the team directly from the city to the Toyota Center in the suburbs this season, this guy is no longer a synonym for stingy but a synonym for 2b.

In fact, he is indeed stingy, but he is definitely not a stingy. As long as he feels profitable, he is really willing to spend money. However, when he spent 10 consecutive years and finally found that his team is still like a mistress in Los Angeles, and even the Lakers' hair is not as good as the Lakers' hair, that's a waste of money. After all, in recent years, the Lakers' lows have been in the Lakers, but the Clippers are still unable to get out of the shadow of the Lakers. He knew that the Lakers are now at the bottom of the year, and it is not something that the Clippers can shake. The Magic lays the foundation for this team so terrifying.

Unless the Lakers are underestimated again in the future, and the team lacks a star with absolute influence, once again letting him see the Clippers' hope that they will continue to invest money. Therefore, when this team has no hope in his opinion, he can really do anything. Even if others scold them fiercely, he will not care about it, because he only has interests. This is different from the stingy Timberwolves boss's stingy. The Timberwolves' stingy is whether the team has hope or not. Anyway, he doesn't pay, and the team has so much hope, and there is so much hope, so the Timberwolves boss can't do the kind of thing like Sterling who is crazy about trading the team's boss, the second and third in order to save money, but he can't do the crazy thing like Sterling who burns money hard for a little hope.

Overall, what Sterling does is often very easy to remember and is too extreme. It is not surprising that such an extreme person, or a person who lives in his own world, only sees himself and his interests, does something that is incredible or even incredible to ordinary people, because this is his style!

However, even such an extreme and weird person, when he saw that his team's home court was still cheering for the Lakers, the Clippers boss's face was still very bad.

"Jerry, I really don't like that Chinese guy. I really don't like that!"

When Lakers players were the first to play as away players, they enjoyed much more cheers than when the Clippers played at home before, Sterling looked at the Chinese boy of the Lakers. The anger on his face was simply unspeakable.

Similarly, although the Lakers boss Jerry Bass, who was sitting next to Sterling at this time, his face was not very good. However, he did not have the deep hatred of Sterling for Lin Han. Bass knew that his good friend was a racial discriminatory. As a white American born before the 1950s, few of them did not have racial discrimination. This is a very normal thing. Even if he himself had more or less a little, it was just that some people showed that some people were unwilling to show it, or that he didn't care about racial issues at all like Old Bass.

Sterling obviously belongs to the group of people who showed it. And it was crazy to show that group of people. When he thought of this, Bass regretted that he encouraged his good friend to join the NBA. This was a torture for him and asked him to manage this group of people he didn't like at all. However, even if Sterling wants to withdraw now, he has lost at least tens of millions for the Clippers in the past ten years, and the reason for inflation. With his profit-oriented personality, he has invested so much money in the past ten years, and he has not made more than ten times more. How could he take action? For an excellent investor, making 10 times more in 10 years is not much, right? Just putting it in this Clippers, who would spend 300 to 400 million to buy the current team?

Therefore, with Bass's understanding of his good friend, this guy will never be able to sell the Clippers. Even if he has no feelings for the Clippers, no feelings for the team players, sometimes it is a pain to be too greedy, and this is also the reason why Jerry Bass has always been very indulged in him or even indulged in him. Because he brought Sterling's pain.

"Donald, I think you'd better be a little more restrained. Otherwise, it will hurt you sooner or later."

When he saw Lin Han in the middle of the court enjoying the cheers of all the Los Angeles fans, Jerry Bass frowned and said. He was clear about Sterling and Jordan's verbal battles and his running and shooting at Lin Han in recent times. Even Sterling may even mean to vent his anger. As a good friend, Bass has never concealed his dislike of Lin Han, but he also doesn't like his friend's deep racial problems. It's just that Bass has talked to Sterling more than once, but Sterling has never heard of it.

"Jerry, you guy is good at everything, you just suppress yourself too much and think too much. Don't you think your life is too boring?"

However, after every reminder, Jerry Bass would be taught a lesson by Sterling in turn, which made Old Bass speechless, so he stopped talking.

Speaking of which, this game is the first time he has come to watch the Lakers game on site this season, and the first time he watches the Lakers game on site is not his home court. When I think of this, Old Buss was a little helpless. I have to say that when Lin Han came to the team, he found that his feelings for this Lakers were a bit too complicated. Perhaps just as Sterling imagined, he really thought too much about some things. So, when I think of this, Old Buss looked at the warm-up on the court and the Lakers No. 24, who had already stood in the center of the court, was also a little bitter.

"The Lakers have changed a little from the previous games in this game. The center player is Lin Han. Lin Han will play the center position in this game. The power forward is Aaron Williams, the small forward is Dominic Wilkins, the shooting guard is Eddie Jones, and the organization guard is Van Eksel. After being replaced by Eddie Jones, Van Eksel appeared in the starting position again. I don't know what this defender who performed extremely poorly this season will perform like in this game."

"The Clippers still have no changes compared to the past. The center is Elmore Spencer, the power forward is Loywater, the small forward is Tony Massenberg, the shooting guard is Terede, and the organization guard is Poole Richard."

Except for Poole Richardson and Loywater, many other players in the Clippers are probably not heard of by many NBA fans in the United States, and even Los Angeles fans. Mausenberg did not even get involved in the NBA last season. This second-round rookie in 1990 completely bid farewell to the NBA in 1991 and was not signed back by the Clippers this season. As for Terede, the rookie last season, averaged 5 points, 1 rebound and 1 assist last season. As for center Spencer, this Spencer in the Clippers is a thousand miles away from the Spencer before the Jazz. Although the Spencer before the Jazz is not good, he can be regarded as one of the worst starters in the NBA, but if this guy is in other worst teams,

I'm afraid I can't even play as a substitute. Even the two strongest defenders of the team, Poole Richardson, were almost directly sacked by Larry Brown in the Pacers last season, and the speed was very fast. The attacking desire is [a small guard with a strong desire, but the defense and offensive efficiency are simply low. It is suitable to produce good data in the bottom team, but it is not suitable to be the starter of any playoff team. Loywater, the Clippers power forward, is the team's truly strongest player. He can attack and grab rebounds. Although the defense is average, it is not very bad. This season's current position can average 16 points and 10 rebounds per game, a very good young inside player, and he is also the only player in the Clippers who can pose a threat to the Lakers.

Such a team will not be surprised if they lose nine consecutive games in the NBA season now, ranking last in the league. The Clippers can win more than 10 games this season, which is basically a success. If any team really loses the Clippers unlucky this season, they may be really hacked.

Therefore, even though the Lakers are not in good condition now, they are still better than the Clippers.

"Aron Williams successfully jumped the ball, the Los Angeles Lakers won the first ball in this game, Van Eksel received Eddie Jones' excessiveness, and the Lakers are about to launch an offense."

When Van Eksel, who was the starting point guard in this game, dribbled the ball and pushed it to the frontcourt, he was stunned for a moment because he had not organized the team's offense as the starting point guard at the beginning of this season. In fact, the Lakers have no tactics at all. Van Eksel, who came to the half, had no idea what to do. If Lin Han was the starting outside before, he had handed the ball to Lin Han and stood at one point, but at this time,

Lin Han has already stood at the basket, and even if he wants to pass the ball, he can't do it. As for other Lakers players, um, as long as he sees Aaron Williams who is completely let go of the waist position at this time, and Dominic Wilkins who is standing still, he will be speechless. Wilkins will really move and run when Lin Han controls the ball. As for the others, this old cancer all has a look of owing my respect, and Eddie Jones, the only catch point on the outside, the ball is Eddie Jones?

To be honest, Van Eksel really doesn't want to pass the ball to him. Although he and Jones have nothing wrong with Lin Han, it is a fact that Jones replaces him. It is also a fact that this kid is more suitable for starting with Lin Han. It is also a fact that his running and defense is not as good as Jones. But if he even organizes an offense, he has to pass the ball to Jones, how should he, the point guard, be in the team in the future?

Thinking about the fact that he had agreed to avenge him in this game before the start of today's game, I saw that he was standing still and motionless at this time. If Van Eksel had not been so much thrown away, but he could not do this now. In the past, he could hurt anyone, including his team, as long as he could gain a foothold in the NBA, everything was worth it. So he was distracted last season and even got the title of a madman. But now, when his friend Lin Han came to the team, his position was extremely stable, so he could no longer do such crazy things.

At least, he can't hurt the team or hurt Lin Han anymore, because when Lin Han came to the team, he said without any concealment that he wanted the championship, and his crazy style of play last season was not the style of play that an important player of a champion team should have. He does not have the strong personal ability of Lin Han. Lin Han can play in the Jazz, but he cannot play in the Lakers. If the Lakers boss is not Lin Han at this time, he wouldn't feel so wronged. However, the Lakers boss is his friend and a very good friend. In the entire NBA, only Hardaway and Lin Han can make Van Eksel not want to do something sorry for them!

I have to say that although Van Eksel is a cancer, not all cancers have personality defects. The cancer is a style of play, not a personality. Van Eksel is like this, and this is also the reason why he is extremely entangled and struggling this season. How could it be an easy thing to change his style of play that has lasted for more than ten years?

"Hahaha, Jerry. This point guard on your team is so interesting, hahaha. It's so interesting, so cute, hahaha!"

When Van Eksel, who had not controlled the ball in the starting lineup for a long time, was sweating and dazed in place, even Richardson, who was defending him, was stunned at this time. He forgot to go up and steal for a while. He thought Van Eksel was lonely and forced him to steal and then pass him. The Lakers fans on the sidelines were also in an uproar. Even the Clippers owner Sterling on the sidelines had already laughed wildly, and Old Bass's face was a little less beautiful at this time. If he didn't like Lin Han's style of football, then Van Eksel would dislike it even more. But this was also a player chosen by Jerry West, and even if he didn't like it, he had no choice.

Old Bass was a little unhappy just because he lost such a person in front of his friends.

At this time, the Lakers players on the court didn't have much understanding with Van Eksel. When Lin Han, who was standing under the basket, looked at his friend who was almost nervous and trembling at this time, he had no choice but to pull out from the inside and prepare to play a simple pick-and-roll with Van Eksel.

When Lin Han pulled out from the inside and played a pick-and-roll with Van Eksel. Van Eksel turned over the basketball in his hand to Lin Han at the top three-point line as if saved, and then he let out a breath and walked away. At this time, the Lakers only had 8 seconds left in this attack. I have to say that Van Eksel has indeed wasted a lot of time.

"Lin finally came out to catch the ball. This Lakers now has a terrifying situation where other people are controlling the ball except Lin. When will magic come back?"

When the Lakers fans on the sidelines saw Lin Han's result in the ball, all their breath of relief came to the court. Van Eksel, who was in a low mood at this time, almost turned gray and his head was trembling.

"Lin, pass him, pass him directly!"

As Clippers players who defended Lin Han, at this time, the Clippers center Spencer and point guard Richardson saw Lin Han dribbling on the spot with the ball in their hands, and both of them were trembling.

Recently, the owner of the Clippers has been unrestrained. But as Clippers players, they are really frightened. Can Lin Han’s reputation be compared to ordinary people? What should they do if this guy takes the plane to retaliate in this game? So, when Lin Han chose to play the inside center in this game, Si Bingsai, who was originally gloating for his teammates, almost trembled with his feet after getting such a result. Ewing, who was tricked by Lin Han, is still receiving treatment from a psychiatrist in the psychiatrist. Even Ewing is like that, what can he do?

Therefore, every time Lin Han dribbled on the spot, he kept hitting Si Bingsai's heart like a heavy hammer, for fear that the Lakers player would fly directly from his head.

Richardson, who was standing next to Si Bingser, was ready to double-team Lin Han at any time, and he was not very happy at this time, especially when he heard the cheers of Lakers fans at the scene, he was most afraid that Lin Han would be excited and crush him directly.

"What?!"

It just surprised the Lakers fans and the players on the court that Lin Han, who had been dribbling on the spot for about five seconds, directly passed the basketball in the top of the arc with 3 seconds left, and passed the basketball in his hand to the hand of Van Eksel, who had already collapsed. When Van Eksel received Lin Han's buzzer-beating cross, the Lakers point guard was stunned and looked at the basketball in his hand with disbelief. When the time was about to come, he directly made a three-pointer under unpredictable attack.

With a bang, when Van Eksel hit the basket hard and failed to hit the whole Toyota center, all the players on the court looked at Lin Han and Van Eksel with disbelief.

"Ni, Nick is going to be unlucky in this game"

As Lin Han's younger brother and former Jazz teammate, Aaron Williams was sweating all over his body when he looked at Van Eksel.

Lin Han is really terrible, especially when he is not sticking to the ball! (To be continued) r655
