Chapter 1165

"Judging from Sterling's style and the current situation of the Sterling family, they will not sell the team easily~!!"

"You're right, it's not just the attitude of the Sterling family, the NBA has very detailed rules for the transfer and sale of teams, if Sterling doesn't agree to the sale, then the forced sale cannot be completed~! ! After all, the NBA will still protect the rights and interests of the owners~!!"

After the league announced its decision to force the Sterling family to sell the Clippers, the general manager of the team chatted with Lan Shengli.

After all, the change of ownership of the team is also related to the fate of the two of them.

"Since the alliance has made such a decision, it means that they have made sufficient preparations. Rules are dead, but people are alive~!!"

Lan Shengli said.

"Then let's see what happens next~"

The general manager sighed.

As for the Sterling family, after the league issued a statement of "selling the team", they quickly made an "official" response.

"Since the Sterling family purchased the Clippers for $1981 million in 1250, in the past 30 years, they have been committed to building an influential, competitive and contributing century-old team. The team's performance has fluctuated over the years, but the team has made great contributions to the Los Angeles community, the entire California, and the development of the NBA ~!!, this is beyond doubt, these small episodes that are happening now will not affect The Sterling family’s long-term plan for the team, the Sterling family also regards the Los Angeles Clippers as the most valuable asset, so I hope the NBA office can reconsider and cancel the decision to sell the team, and the Sterling family will not sell The team~!!"

Such a statement has already explained the attitude of the Sterling family.

Just as Lan Shengli predicted before, Sterling will never sell the team easily, or in other words, "absolutely will not" sell the team.

This is very difficult to handle.

However, after the Sterling family issued this statement, the NBA office quickly responded, and it was a more "tough" response.

"What the Sterling family did is obviously against the NBA and professional sportsmanship. Sterling's lifetime ban will not change. Based on this punishment, the league will spare no effort to sell the Clippers and other matters. Absolutely won’t let Sterling stay in NBA~!”

Such a response made the statement of the Sterling family seem without tension.

"Mia, hurry up and take the team to Staples, I heard that many fans will parade around there again~!!"

The line of sight came to Mia's company, and the TV station leader called Mia who was sorting out the interview materials, and said in a hurry.

"Parade~?!, the penalty decision has already come down, why are the fans still marching~?!, isn't it because of the Clippers~?!"

Mia questioned and responded.

"It's about the Clippers. This time, the Sterling family disagreed with the NBA's request to sell the team. The fans disagreed. They planned to put some pressure on the Sterling family through demonstrations~ !!"

The leader responded.

"Okay, then I'll go and follow up the situation~!"

Mia responded and quickly hung up the phone.

"Sterling, rubbish~!!!"

"Sterling, rubbish~!!!"

"Sterling, rubbish~!!!"

About [-] fans spontaneously yelled outside the Staples Center.

It is still the same slogan, and it is still a loud voice.

This time, in addition to slogans, many fans also held up some specially made signs.

"Leave the Clippers alone~!!"

"Sterling, leave the NBA~!!"

"Selling the team = saving the team~!"

The ironic tagline has already explained the fans' attitude towards Sterling.

"Where I am now is the square outside the Staples Center. We have seen that there are already a large number of fans gathered in the square. The fans are already waving placards, shouting slogans, and protesting. ~!!"

Here, Mia is also holding a microphone and reporting in front of the camera.

"It is said that these demonstrators will go to Sterling's residence and some office buildings of the Sterling family in a while to continue demonstrations and protests~!"

Mia continued to report.

"What do you think about the Sterling family's decision not to sell the team~?!"

Mia quickly started interviewing.

"We are very disappointed. The Sterling family does not deserve to own an NBA team. They should wake up early. They should sell the Clippers as soon as possible, and let people who love basketball and really love sports run the team~ !!"

The fan representative replied.

"That's right, I've been a Clippers fan for ten years. Over the years, there's a reason why the Clippers haven't been a strong team. The Sterling family never really thought about how to make the team better." How to be stronger, how to become a championship-level team, they only know how to use the team to make money, the team has finally improved in the past two years, the Sterling family should stop doing stupid things, they really I don’t know basketball~!”

Another fan, who was more emotional, said.

"If the Sterling family continues to own the Clippers, it will be a tragedy for the entire NBA and American sports~!"

"Yes, we need to use practical actions to let Sterling know that the matter has come to this point, and the Sterling family has no support from anyone. Instead, we will support the NBA and support the league's decision~!!"

"If we need a new buyer, we will do our best to use our savings to crowdfund and buy the team~!"

The fans continued to shout into the microphones and make protesting remarks.

Although some words sound unrealistic, this is enough to illustrate the determination of the fans.

With the resolute attitude of the league and the determination of the fans, will the attitude of the Sterling family still be so resolute~? !
Maybe it will be shaken or not.

Not only Los Angeles, after the announcement of the Sterling family, other cities in California, Sacramento, San Francisco, and cities in other states, including the capital Washington, the largest city in the United States, New York, etc., have many NBA fans. different forms of protest.

Although they are not Clippers fans, they are fans of the NBA. This is enough for them to stand up together at this moment and let the Sterling family know the seriousness of the situation today.

Let the Sterling family know that selling the team is already the current general trend.

A protest of fans across the United States in solidarity with the Clippers has already begun.
