The Godfather of Basketball

The news of Howard's signing shocked the league, but it also represented the dust of the vigorous free agent market.

Subsequent small signings have been carried out one after another, but most of them can be regarded as small troubles.

After the Thunder signed Morrow, they also signed with rookies one after another, and the roster for the new season was basically released.

Point guard: Westbrook, Barea, Smith

Shooting guards: Harden, Bazemore, Morrow

Small forwards: Durant, Middleton, James Ennis

Power forwards: Tucker, Collison, O'Quinn

Centers: Ibaka, Brown, Rudy Gobert

The 15-man roster, and then signing some undrafted picks to play games, the Thunder's preseason roster is basically determined.

After signing the lineup, Tang Tian could finally take a break.

Tang Tian handed everything over to Stevens regarding the summer league.

Intentionally letting this person succeed him, Tang Tian naturally wanted to give him a chance to grow.

As for himself, he can finally rest well.

The company has recently made a lot of money investing in Marvel movies, and he has nearly 100 million more working capital in his hands, and he feels rich again in an instant.

Both Hathaway and Swift have activities, and he is alone in the manor, checking the news every day.

At this moment, a piece of news from TMZ attracted the attention of the public, including Tang Tian.

Scott Sterling, who was only 32 years old, died of poisoning in his own home because of smoking, smoking and poisoning.

Scott Sterling is the son of Clippers owner Donald Sterling.

In this report, TMZ also added some news information. Sterling was often whipped by his father Sterling when he was a child, and he was also addicted to drugs because of this.

After the news reports came out, Sterling immediately denied the facts and warned TMZ not to make up stories indiscriminately, otherwise he would consider legal channels.

TMZ is an entertainment gossip media, and the factuality of such reports has yet to be verified.

But not long after that, free agent "bearded" Baron Davis said in an interview with reporters that Sterling is a shit-like guy. He claimed that when he played for the Clippers before, he encountered After Sterling's abuse, there are many discriminatory terms such as "nigger" in those cursing words, and Sterling took his girlfriend to the player's locker room at will, showing no respect to them.

Coincidentally, after Davis, former Clippers assistant coach Mike Murphy also stood up and said that when he was in the Clippers, Sterling actually greeted the management directly and told them not to pay for his medical treatment during the team. cost.

News broke out one after another, making the Clippers owner feel precarious.

However, because they are all accusations without real evidence, these are just some negative effects on Sterling and his Clippers.

Seeing this, Tang Tian also remembered what he said in his previous life. Sterling was forced to sell the team in 2014 because of racial discrimination. It seems that this guy is a complete scum.

However, Sterling still sits firmly on Mount Tai. After seeing these continuous voices in the follow-up, he directed his anger at TMZ, claiming that his personal lawyer is already collecting information and preparing to sue TMZ in order to maintain his image and reputation.

TMZ also did not back down, claiming that the news they have is based on factual evidence.

The situation between the two sides intensified. Sterling's team announced a formal lawsuit against TMZ, and it seemed that they would really go to court.

But Tang Tian knew about this kind of thing, and in the end Sterling would probably pay to settle it. Although he didn't know the process, but in his previous life, Sterling didn't fall at this point in time.

Sure enough, a week later, TMZ announced the dismissal of the reporter Lenny O'Brien who reported the news, announcing that O'Brien had made reports that did not conform to the facts, and was deeply sorry for the loss of reputation caused by Sterling.

Sterling also appeared generous, also announcing the withdrawal of the lawsuit against TMZ.

Obviously, this is where the money goes.

"Boring." After reading the latest news, Tang Tian felt very boring.

The saying that you can do whatever you want with money is true.

After the turmoil of the Sterling incident passed, Tang Tian also paid attention to his domestic basketball school and the Liaoning basketball team.

He flew back to China to participate in the official foundation laying ceremony of the basketball school. The Liao basketball team also officially transferred the 17-year-old Zhou Qi to the first team. Zhou Qi will participate in the new season's CBA competition with the team.

Not long ago, the CBA issued a regulation that only players over the age of 18 can play in the CBA, but then added the "Guo Ailun Clause", that is, members of the national team can ignore this rule. Zhou Qi and Guo Ailun participated in the 12-year London Championship The Olympics, so it also fits this clause.

The new season of the Liao basketball team officially began to attack the CBA championship.

After staying in China for half a month, Tang Tian also returned to the United States.

After that, he has to go back every summer for a period of time.

Back in the United States, Tang Tian began to work with the coaching staff to formulate the training and role positioning of new members.

At this time, the Sterling incident, which had already subsided, had further fermented.

The expelled TMZ reporter O'Brien claimed that he had a large amount of Sterling's evidence, and if Sterling and TMZ did not apologize and compensate him within three days, he would make the evidence public.

Sterling did not respond to this matter, he has settled TMZ with a lot of money, this O'Brien is nothing but a clown to him, TMZ does not take it seriously, they are firing O'Brien Before, everything in his computer had been emptied.

From their point of view, O'Brien just wanted to borrow some unfounded things to knock them a sum of money.

After all, after being fired, this man has already become a stink in the media circle. He has not found a job so far, and his life is similar to that of a homeless man.

Tang Tian was very curious at this time, because in his previous life, he had never heard of such a person as O'Brien.

The fact that the Spurs were eliminated by the Warriors made him realize that although history will correct some things, there will also be accidents, as if he doesn't want to be under his control.

After three days, Sterling and TMZ still did not respond, not even threatening or warning, and treated O'Brien as air.

In the midst of anger, O'Brien released a recording on social media.

After the announcement of this recording, the entire alliance was shocked, and even Tang Tian was stunned.

Because what O'Brien released turned out to be the recording of the quarrel between Sterling and his girlfriend Steviano in his previous life!

This recording was also the one that ruined Sterling's reputation in his previous life!
