Chapter 321

Chapter 321

Two o'clock in the afternoon, New York.

In a conference room on the 15th floor of the Olympic Building on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan, several old men were enjoying cigarettes while being smoky.

David Stern sat on his main seat, frowning tightly.After a while, David Stern spoke.This opening is resounding.

"I disagree!"

Those old men suddenly turned their heads and looked at David Stern fiercely.

An old man asked directly, "Why? We are helping you make money! Why don't you agree?"

Then more people raised their dissatisfaction.

"David! Don't forget! The NBA is supported by us bosses! You are responsible for us!"

"David, do you want to abandon us old men?"

"David, are you willing to praise a Chinese instead of our own people?"

Hearing this, David Stern was stunned.

After that, he just looked at these old men quietly.

He withstood it during the timeout, but of course he won't shrink back from this shitty thing!

When these old guys finally calmed down, David Stern said again: "I don't agree with your actions, but I have no objection! You can do it yourself! However, I remind you that everything must be A degree, after that, it will be bad.”

There was something in Stern's words, some of the old men were indignant, some were secretly happy, and some were frowning.

In the end, this meeting also ended hastily.

...

After sending the old men away, David Stern returned to his office.

Stern's office is only about 25 square meters, with brown walnut wood walls, a brown office table that can hold a meeting for 6 people, a brown leather sofa, and orange lights, the whole office is shrouded in warm tones. It is warm, and it is the color of basketball.

The office is like a small NBA exhibition hall. The display table by the window is full of all kinds of NBA memorabilia, player photos, bobblehead dolls, and small trophies of various shapes.

Every time he saw these, Stern's mood would improve a lot.

Even if you are shivering in the cold wind to ask for help, even if you are facing the aggressiveness of those old men, even if it is...

As long as he sees this wall of honor, he feels that what he does is worthwhile.

Xia Tian's toughness made him now have more courage to fight for more.

"In the future, I will definitely build the NBA into the best league in the world!"

While Stern was stroking the trophy, there was a knock on the door.

knock knock knock

"Enter!"

Duck Egg-Joke walked in with a smile all over his face.

Seeing the old man in a daze in front of the wall of honor again, Yadan also stood aside, waiting quietly, waiting for Mr. President to finish admiring his honor.

Duck Egg no longer secretly calls Stern "Old Man", he is now honored as "Mr. President".

Since the summer vacation last year, Duck realized a completely different Stern with a tough attitude.

That is, during this holiday, Duck was completely overwhelmed by Stern's suit.

Today, those team owners, sponsors, and TV stations are still so arrogant, but Stern is not afraid at all.Stern even vetoed the all-league star-making plan proposed by those guys!

Duck's evaluation of Stern is: too domineering!

"Duck egg, tell me, what will happen to you if you come to deal with it today?"

Stern's test for duck eggs comes as soon as he says it.

How to deal with it?

Yadan didn't dare to talk nonsense, and thought about it quietly.

After a while, he spoke. "President, I will agree with their proposal."

"How to say?" Stern didn't turn his head, still admiring his certificate.

Duck said seriously: "I think every team should cultivate its own team card like the Bulls! Every city should have one or two superstars of its own. Philadelphia is doing very well now, they Every game, whether it is home or away, the attendance rate is very high. Especially the sales of jerseys, the two of them are far ahead of the league. I think, as long as..."

Duck eggs mean that a hundred flowers bloom and a hundred schools of thought contend. This kind of alliance is a better alliance.

"hen~" Stern turned around, smiled and shook his head, "Duck, you still think too simply!"

Seeing Duck's humbly receptive appearance, Stern also spoke slowly.

The duck egg idea is a good one.However, conditions do not allow it!

Let each team produce a superstar now, that won't work!

Right now the league is in a transitional phase.The stars are old, and the remaining value is not much; the young are young, and they haven't seen any value yet.How many of them are worth cultivating?

It seems that the owner of the Clippers is the most troublesome.Which star player does their Clippers have?Is the new champion Olowokandi?That is overreaching!

The 76ers are now very popular whether they are at home or away.This was done by the Philadelphia Twins with their own strength. Of course, this is also indispensable for the promotion of the team and sponsor Reebok.

Many people are just jealous.If you have the ability, make it yourself. NBA resources are limited!

Of course, there is another problem, the market.

The current market simply cannot accommodate so many "super giants".Consumption has not yet reached such unprecedented levels.

"We still have to wait~"

Stern let out a long sigh.

Duck Dan took the opportunity to flatter and said, "I finally understand why you want to open up the Chinese market, President! The president is so wise! I am far behind the president."

"Duck, it's not easy for you to sit in my position in the future. You still have to learn from me!" Stern said with a smile on his face, but said earnestly in his mouth: "The first thing to learn is to put your Straighten your spine!"

When Duck went to see off the guests today, the one with low eyebrows nodded and bowed obediently, and Stern couldn't stand it anymore.

After finishing speaking, Stern greeted him with a slap!

bang!

"Hi~"

After being slapped by Stern, Yadan pursed her lips and tried to hold her head up.

It's just that his back is curved, and it can't be straight...

……

"Li, wake up, we're here!"

Taking off the blindfold, Li Nan stretched sleepily, "Ha~~"

The 76ers bus has arrived at the arena for tonight's game, the Honda Center in Anaheim.

Here, they will face their sixth and final Western Conference opponent of the season, the Clippers!Anaheim Clippers!

There are a total of 50 games this season, and the distribution of the 76ers is like this, 44 games for the Eastern team + 6 games for the Western team.

同一半区同一分区的球队打4场，一共就是16场。同一半区不同分区三场，打28场，外加6个西部对手。76人一共就是50场比赛。

I don't know how the league is arranged. Five of the 76 Western Conference opponents of the 6ers are very good.

Mavericks, Kings, Jazz, Lakers, Nuggets.

The only one that is not good is today, the Anaheim Clippers!
