"I think the NBA refuses to admit high school students into the league. This is definitely an accomplice to the evil force of the NCAA. Yes, the NCAA is a vampire in my opinion. They exploit the value of college players, but they will not give it to the players. They provide a penny of salary, and they will not provide future guarantees for these players." Trail Blazers boss Oden said quite angrily at the press conference.

Once upon a time, Oden was also quite scared. He suffered many injuries in college. What did these injuries get him? Nothing was exchanged for...

If he hadn't met Richard, Oden would have been almost useless by now.

Now that two of the top picks are injured, Oden begins to criticize the NBA system.

Not only Oden, but many stars have expressed their attitudes this time. They hope that the league can relax the restrictions on players participating in the draft.

In fact, Richard is not unfamiliar with this incident. Under normal circumstances, this kind of thing has happened in the NBA.

Williams, the top pick in 2019, also suffered an injury in the NCAA game. As a result, Cousins ​​and others criticized him and hoped that the league would change the draft system.

Not to mention, the league has really relaxed its tone and released news that it will consider revising the draft system in recent years.

The current incident is just a little ahead of schedule.

Now Richard doesn't know Xiao Hua's current attitude. Is he pretending to be deaf and dumb? Or are we going to start revising the system as usual?

Although the NCAA is a non-commercial league, it is more inhumane and cruel than commercial leagues.

At least in a business league like the NBA, players can still get paid, and even if they are injured, they will have something to fall back on for the rest of their lives.

Even if it is completely reimbursed during the duration of the contract, the money you should receive will not be less.

But it won't work in the NCAA. You don't have a dime of salary. If it's completely reimbursed, your whole life will be over...

Expect these players to study hard, graduate and go to work like ordinary people? It's possible, but slim.

It is precisely because of this cruel and inhumane system that many old American media or movies and TV dramas have slandered the NCAA.

For example, in the well-known American drama "The Ballers", there is a scene where the protagonist sues the NCAA.

Especially the conversation between the protagonist and NCAA executives completely exposed the darkness of the NCAA.

…

In mid-January, the Clippers had an away game against the Knicks.

The two teams had a big fight before. To be precise, Ben had a big fight with Stoudemire, which caused a lot of trouble.

But the strange thing is that in this Knicks home game, after Richard led the team into the field, he did not hear any boos from Knicks fans...

On the contrary, there were more cheers.

In this game, Thompson performed poorly, but Anthony broke out and scored 42 points, ultimately leading the Knicks to victory.

Losing the game is a normal thing, and Richard definitely doesn't care too much.

However, after the game, Richard received a call from Xiao Hua and wanted to chat with Richard tonight.

…

Richard frowned. If nothing else, Xiao Hua should be thinking about talking to him about the draft system.

Depending on the situation, Xiao Hua currently also has the idea of ​​changing the draft system.

…

That night, Richard took a bus to the NBA headquarters.

Xiao Hua and Vice President Tan Huimin were both there. After Richard entered Xiao Hua's office, he pulled up a chair and sat down.

Seeing Richard coming, Tan Huimin was obviously not notified in advance and looked confused at the moment. He did not expect that Richard would appear in Xiao Hua's office at this time.

"Li, you are finally here."

"What do you think of the recent events in the NCAA? There has been a lot of turmoil in the city. At least 20 players are now publicly calling for changes to the draft system."

"This is definitely not all. I feel that at least half of the players hope that the league can change the draft system." Xiao Hua said to Richard with a worried face.

Richard felt happy, Xiao Hua, an old boy, had good acting skills.

He really didn't believe that Xiao Hua was worried about this matter now. Xiao Hua was probably happy now.

"Adam, we are all so familiar, so don't make such an expression. Let's talk about something if you have something to say, right?" Richard said with a smile.

After hearing this, Xiao Hua's expression immediately became normal, with a smile in his eyes.

"Okay, Li, I am now planning to change the draft system in the next two years. As long as I change the players' draft qualifications, do you think there will be any bad consequences?"

"I can't see clearly about this matter right now. I need you to help me advise." Xiao Hua asked.

Alliance Vice President Tan Huimin on the side blinked his eyes, completely shocked by the relationship between Xiao Hua and Richard.

He really didn't know that the relationship between Richard and Xiao Hua was so good. Xiao Hua actually let Richard make the decision on such a matter?

No wonder Xiao Hua only gave that kind of punishment plan when Ben beat Stoudemire before. I bet the two of them were wearing the same pair of pants.

"What bad consequences can there be? The only bad consequence I can think of is that the NCAA will say that you are trying to kill the donkey..." Richard said with a smile while leaning on the sofa relaxedly.

When Stern restricted high school players from entering the league, the reason given was that high school players were too young and would lose themselves in the professional league...

These reasons are actually nonsense. The real reason is that Stern needs the NCAA to help them incubate some highly popular new players, let them enter the league with a halo, and convert some NCAA fans to pay attention to the NBA.

The NCAA can also get some benefits from this measure. It can get more super high school students, attract more fans and sponsors to pay attention to the NCAA, and gain more profits.

For example, the 2019 No. 1 pick, or Fat Tiger Williams, who is the only candidate for the No. 1 pick, can generate hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue for the NCAA alone!

So when Stern announced a ban on high school students participating in the draft, he was completely maximizing interests in partnership with the NCAA and fully tapping the value of a player.

The NBA can gain more fans from this cooperation, and the NCAA can earn more US dollars. It is a completely mutually beneficial cooperation.

But now with the rapid development of the NBA, the situation has changed.

The NBA's fan base in the United States has stabilized and there is no need to divert fans from the NCAA.

In this case, there is actually no need to continue this cooperation.

If the cooperation is terminated, the NBA fan base will not be affected, and some extremely popular high school students can directly enter the league, which is good for the NBA. This is why Xiao Hua wants to change the draft system.

Of course, a more important reason is that Xiao Hua has just taken over and needs the support of the entire league. Currently, nearly half of the players in the league feel that the league should change the draft system. If he satisfies the wishes of these players, he will definitely win the favor of these players. and support.

Richard can definitely guess Xiao Hua's thoughts, but now Xiao Hua must not be able to save face...

Once the draft system is changed, although the NCAA will not be greatly affected, it will still have an impact. It is strange that people will be happy.

At the beginning, everyone cooperated for mutual benefit, but now that the NBA's interests have been taken away, it has begun to eliminate the burden and kill the donkey...

"Tell me, Adam, what do you need me to do?"

"Let's talk about it first. I won't do anything too shameless. After all, my child is older now. I have to pay attention to the impact." Richard asked.

Xiao Hua laughed sarcastically, "It seems I can't hide anything from you."

"You don't need to come forward this time. I wonder if you can make the players in the league have a louder voice, and then create a situation where we have to change the draft system."

"It's best to make a louder noise and threaten the league as much as possible. For example, if our management committee doesn't change the system, they will go on strike and stop games..."

"Don't worry, our management committee will never settle accounts later." Xiao Hua said with a grin.

Richard opened his eyes wide and was immediately speechless by Xiao Hua.

He knew that Xiao Hua was very shameless and had no lower limit for what he could do, but he didn't know that he could be so shameless...

I want to end my cooperation with the NCAA, but I don’t want to be stigmatized. This Chinese proverb can’t be more appropriate.

I want to be a BZ and also want to build a memorial arch. It's so shameless.
