Chapter 1168 The End of the Sterling Era

"After a week of preparation, the votes of the owners of the 29 teams have been put in front of me, and now we will start to look at the votes~"

In the NBA building of the New York headquarters, Stern was talking to Stern's daughter, lawyer Sterling, and the general manager of the team.

"You should all understand the rules. If we encounter negative votes, we will immediately terminate the voting session. You and your father can continue to run the Clippers. No one will persuade you to sell the team anymore~!!"

Stern added.

Everyone listened and nodded.

"One vote, one vote, only one vote is enough, just one vote~!"

Daughter Sterling thought to herself.

It can be seen that they still hope that the Clippers can continue to stay in the Sterling family, but now it is not their own decision, but the other 29 teams.

After the ticket viewing session started, it was basically a "one-sided" situation. One vote after another made the Sterling family and the Clippers seem to be drifting away.

After the first 28 ballots were cast, it was still all agreed.

"Next is the last vote. If you agree, the highest authority will be activated. The Sterling family must force the sale of the team. If you don't agree, the Clippers will still be yours. Get it~!"

Before the final ballot was announced, Stern reminded the crowd.

After seeing Sterling's daughter and the lawyer nodding, Stern opened the last envelope.

Looking at the content on the card, Stern smiled slightly, a very understated smile.

"Agreed~!"

Stern quickly turned over the card and spoke with a little excitement.

Seeing the "agree" on the card, both Sterling's daughter and the lawyer unconsciously lowered their heads in frustration.

This simple word represents that the 30-year operation of the Sterling family for the Clippers is coming to an end.

The Sterling era is coming to an end.

"Beautiful~!!, it's really thrilling and exciting. I didn't expect the bosses of other teams to be so supportive this time. They even voted for it under the condition of anonymity. It's really not easy~ !!"

Seeing this, the general manager secretly sighed very excitedly.

"Whoo~"

And when these excited expressions are transformed into a body movement, there is only a long sigh of relief.

"29 votes passed unanimously, and the highest authority was opened. According to our previous agreement and relevant regulations, if the Sterling family still refuses to take the initiative to sell the team, then the league will adopt an overhead form and take direct management of the Clippers. Then complete the transfer as soon as possible~!!"

Stern reminded.

"Selling the team is no small matter, the league should give us some time to prepare~!!"

Stern's daughter questioned.

"Of course, that is for sure, but this time will not be very long. After all, as far as I know, there are many powerful consortiums who want to acquire the Clippers, and the offers are very good. If you really want to sell, I will I think we will find a buyer soon~!!”

Stern responded.

"I know this, we will follow the process, don't worry~"

Sterling's daughter continued to respond, and soon followed the lawyer and others, and left.

"Thank you, Mr. President, the Clippers are saved~!"

The general manager held Stern's hand tightly and said with an excited expression.

"This is the result of the hard work of all of us~!"

Stern looked at the general manager with a smile and responded.

"Then what will the alliance do next~?!"

the general manager asked.

"Since the Sterling family has said that they will follow the procedure, let's wait for the result~ Our alliance will monitor the transfer process in real time, don't worry, there will be no shady situations~"

Stern responded.

"Okay, thank you again, Mr. President, you have made outstanding contributions to the NBA and the history of American sports ~!"

The general manager continued to praise Stern.

Perhaps when the alliance office was about to activate the highest authority, it was already determined that they would win this duel.

After all, more people will still focus on the overall situation of the league and the development of the NBA.

"Bru, Bru, the result is out, the result is out, hahaha~!!!"

After leaving the league office here, the general manager immediately called Lan Shengli, talking excitedly.

That feeling is like learning the "good news from the delivery room".

"Great, great, haha~!!"

When Lan Shengli heard this, he didn't smile so excitedly. Although he was very happy, he felt like a bystander.

But as the head coach of the Clippers, Lan Shengli was the ultimate beneficiary of the voting incident.

"Now the Sterling family will not refuse anymore~!!, haha~!!, the Clippers are finally coming to light~!"

The general manager continued to laugh.

Now the general manager is no longer afraid, and he no longer needs to speak cautiously.

"Yeah, it's not easy~, it can be regarded as breaking through the clouds and seeing the light~!"

Lan Shengli sighed.

"Why does it sound like you're not very excited~?"

The general manager frowned and asked.

"Haha, did you hear that~?!"

Lan Shengli asked with a smile.

"It's nothing, I just feel that I haven't made a conclusion for next season, and I probably won't stay in the team, so I just want to congratulate as a bystander~!!"

Lan Shengli replied.

"Hey~!?, what do you mean by that~?!, I know that your contract next season is a team option, but your performance in the past two seasons is obvious to all the team, and the players are also very excited. I respect you and obey your arrangements, since everything is like this, you will definitely stay in the team~!!"

The general manager responded.

"Maybe I will renew the contract early~!"

The general manager continued.

"Whether or not to renew the contract is a matter of the future. Who will join the Clippers in the future? Although Sterling is a racist, it is hateful, but he knows how to use the best. The new If the boss wants to rebuild the team, maybe I will slap my ass and leave~!!"

Lan Shengli responded.

"No, Bruce, you think too much. After the new boss takes office, I will immediately recommend you to continue to be the head coach of the team. How about it~?!"

The general manager responded.

"I am a dignified general manager, so you have to give me face no matter what. With me here, you are the head coach of the team, and the only candidate~!!"

The general manager continued to speak firmly.

"Haha, then I would like to thank the general manager first, I hope it will be like this, in short, the vote can pass, it is really very satisfying~!!"

Lan Shengli responded with a smile.
