Chapter 768: 【The lower limit of IQ, then break the record】

Previously, the NBA regular season best record was the Lakers' 75 wins and 7 losses, and the winning streak was the Lakers' 39-game winning streak.
The Clippers have broken the historical record of winning streak and are only one step away from the best record. At the end of March, the Clippers were 71 wins and 3 losses. In the remaining 8 games, they only need to guarantee half of the win rate and they can tie the record.
At this time, Clippers owner Donald Sterling came out to show the IQ limit again.
Sterling hurried to the office to chat with Yang Rui, hoping he would reduce Curry's playing time. Even if he wanted to fight for MVP, he would let Griffin fight. The reason is that Curry is a contract year, Griffin has renewed the contract, this is clearly not wanting to give Curry a top salary.
In Yang Rui’s previous life, a "Ross Clause" was added to the 11-year labor agreement. In this life, Ross was unhappy with the bulls, but the clause still appeared, and the name became the "Super Rookie Clause" in order to reward those who performed well. Young player.
The terms are as follows: After executing his rookie contract, a player can get a top salary contract that accounts for 30% of the team's salary cap (a 5% increase from the old contract) when signing the second career contract. However, this clause has a very strict entry threshold: he was elected MVP four years before the rookie contract, or was selected as the starting lineup twice in the All-Star Game, or twice was selected as the best team of the year.
Last season, Griffin was selected for the All-Star starting lineup for the second consecutive year, which activated the "super rookie clause" in his contract and signed a high-paying long-term contract.
If Curry won the regular season MVP this year, he will also meet this standard and get a super high salary.
Sterling did not want two such high-paid players on the team, instead of being happy for the two young players on the team.
Yang Rui first asked Sterling to sit down and drink tea, and then chatted calmly with him. He would not be angry about this little thing, and wanted to kick this short-sighted goods out of the office.
One of the ways to prevent being assimilated by silly X is to always remind yourself that everybody can't hide things, can't hold back when things happen, can't hold fire when angry, and is called the three core characteristics of stupid people.
For Yang Rui, everything less than 1 billion US dollars is a trivial matter. After seeing the war between the three women, ordinary complaints cannot make him angry. He is now a saint-level temper, plus expert-level peace. guy.
As long as a person has a good temper, everything will be fine.
"Donald, even if Stephen triggers the clause, it will take about 10 million more than other top-paid players. The economic value of the high-balloon star to the team is more than ten times this number. The Clippers are to be the most profitable in the league. The team should always give the star some benefits, right?"
"But these are two people."
Yang Rui's unhurried explanation: "The total salary is more than 10 million yuan, and the average share is about 2 million more per year. The two people are 4 million per year. It is just a mini middle class, which will not affect the team’s recruitment. Crown, luxury tax can also be controlled, and nothing is affected. But the extra 4 million is spent, and the star belongs to the team, which is a good deal. The commercial value of a superstar, how much do I need to say ?"
After listening to Stirling, he also felt that his request was a bit stupid. Players endorsed any product endorsement, and the annual advertising cost was not only 4 million. It would not be worth it if there was a contradiction for this money.
The value of a superstar is difficult to measure with money. They can become a team's logo and attract other excellent players to join.
For example, Yao Ming joined the Nets, and the Nets immediately grabbed the market capital with the Knicks. Prior to this, the Nets were difficult to make a profit, and there were no big-name stars willing to join. With Yao Ming as the signboard, they quickly put together the Big Three.
Curry and Griffin are very young and have no problem for another ten years. They are more promising than Yao Ming, who has begun to decline. Even if Yao Ming has many honors, they certainly deserve the top salary.
Yang Rui talked with Sterling about other things for a while and cared about his life before sending the old man away.
Although Stirling often does some stupid moves and stupid speech, Yang Rui can understand that after all, he is 77 years old and his brain is not as smart as when he was young.
And in January, Stirling was greatly stimulated. His 32-year-old son, Scott Sterling, died in his home because of drug use. According to media reports, Stirling frequently whipped his son when he was a child, leading to his eccentric temperament and eventually contracted drug abuse.
Sterling's eldest daughter Joanna, son-in-law Eric Miller and his relationship are also very poor, usually seldom move around. As the Clippers Operations Director, Eric saw Yang Rui more often than Sterling, which is really ironic.
On April 1, the Clippers defeated the Rockets at home and completed the sweep in the regular season.
Before changing the defense, the Rockets could not win the championship. Not only did Harden open the wheel eye, but Hawes and Delfino also wrote the wheel eye defense.
On April 3, the Clippers lost to the Pacers 107 to 113 at home.
The lineup of Pacers is very strong, starting George Hill, Lance Stephenson, Paul George, David West, Roy Hibbert, in addition to Hibbert, the team must be in the meat shield Only outside the restricted area can play, and the other four are good at preventing pick-and-roll.
The bench was led by DJ Augustin, Jamal Crawford, Danny Granger, Taylor Hansbrough, Ian Massimmi, and balance offensive and defensive.
Granger's characteristics are like Guy. The scoring is mainly based on shooting. After injury, George and Stephenson grew up. After the comeback, the ball was not enough. There was not enough shot to find the feel. Especially powerful.
However, in this game, Granger played well, 6 of 10 shots, 4 of 6 3-pointers, 1 of 1 free throws, and scored 16 points~EbookFREE.me~The Pacers did not score particularly many players, more flowers , Six scored double figures.
After defeating the three weak players of the Kings, Hornets and Grizzlies, the Clippers have set a record, and even if the remaining three defeats, they only lost 7 games.
For the powerful Clippers, this is obviously impossible.
On the 13th, the Clippers lost to the Pistons away and suffered their fifth defeat.
The piston is not a fuel-efficient lamp this year, much stronger than Yang Rui's previous life. First release of Langdon Wright, DeMar DeRozan, Kyle Singler, Greg Monroe, Andre Drummond.
DeRozan became the core in the Pistons, averaging 20.3 points, 4.6 rebounds and 3 assists per game.
Substitutes Rodney Starkey, Wayne Ellington, Jerebko, Villanueva also have good attack power.
After that, the Clippers easily won the Trail Blazers and the Kings, and the record was finally fixed at 77 wins and 5 losses. The record was improved by two games at once.
Basketball fans all over the world are shocked. At that time, the Lakers created a 39-game winning streak and a 75-win record. Everyone said that it was impossible to break the record, because it is difficult for other teams to put together a "drug combination", Rashid Wallace, Odom, Iguodala such a super lineup. The Lakers picked up the Knicks' big deal before they got there.
As a result, the Lakers record has only been maintained for a few years. At that time, the core was still in the league. The stronger Clippers appeared. They broke the record when a star was injured and missed for more than a month.
When Yang Rui first came, the Clippers had little reputation except Paul and Griffin, but they became another invincible division. According to the news evaluation of the Clippers' performance, almost everyone thinks that Yang Rui has the greatest credit. He has the superpower of turning the stone into gold.
The major awards won't be judged until the middle of the second round, but Yang Rui has won the Best Coach Award again.
