Chapter 245: Prevent Stern from interfering in this matter

Therefore, the people involved in this matter must be people in the league, and they have knowledge of each team in the league. To be precise, they have been in contact!

Yes, the man behind this incident must be caught, causing such a big trouble to himself, Stern hates this guy now.

"Yes, Mr. President won't be going to let go of this behind the scenes, right?" Bruce smiled sinisterly.

What do you mean?

Even if it is necessary to investigate the cause of this incident, it is a matter of the Alliance, does Bruce think...

No way, Bruce wants to investigate and deal with it himself?

Isn't this causing Lao Tzu to continue to cause trouble? I think I have not enough trouble. You Bruce also want to intervene?

"I must investigate this person behind the scenes. This is the duty of the Alliance..." Stern took a deep breath and calmly analyzed it to Bruce.

"I can't wait for so long. Mr. President, this is not the first thing I provoke. Does someone in the league want me to back down against me and just sit back and watch Kobe?"

"Mr. President, I can't do it. I came here twice this time. You must know that we Chinese are not easy to bully. If I don't kill a hundred people, I will have any prestige in the team in the future!"

Bruce is actually just saying, he doesn't want to retaliate against his opponent now, the reason is very simple and can be summed up in two words: no money.

It's true that Bruce really doesn't have much money now, although he still has liquidity, but it is Paul Allen's, he can not divide the money himself.

So even if he finds the person behind the scenes this time, he can only endure it until Bruce can pay off his debts.

After all, his purpose of saying this now is to force Stern not to affect the direction of the game.

Kobe's future depends on this game, and he doesn't allow any mistakes at this time.

"Bruce, I warn you not to mess around, this is an alliance matter, and should be handled by the alliance." Stern learned from Bruce's conversation that Bruce was about to do it, but this was exactly what he was afraid of, George · Sinn’s **** hasn’t been cleaned by himself. Bruce is coming out again. This is not to increase the workload for him. Can’t you **** make Lao Tzu easy and comfortable for a few years?

If Bruce knew what Stern had just thought in his heart, he would definitely roll his eyes and want to live a comfortable life for a few years. I think you have been uncomfortable for the past few years.

Yes, this is the beginning of the George Sinn incident, and the subsequent incident will make Stern a headache. The 1998 labor negotiations shocked the entire United States.

The labor disputes in the NBA have never ceased, and the shrinking season of the 98-99 season is a total outbreak. Every 7 years in the NBA, there is a labor-management negotiation. Labor is the player, capital is the owner of each team and NBA president Stern.

Stern asked for a reduction in player wages and an increase in the age threshold of the NBA. However, the NBA players represented by the president of the Players Union wanted to increase their annual salary, raise the salary cap and lower the age threshold, so that high school players could easily enter the NBA. Stern said a classic sentence: NBA players' salaries are much higher than ordinary people, and they should not be demanded more. This sentence is not wrong. The salary of the NBA is indeed very high, especially for the superstar players of each team. Their salary was at least the top in the global professional leagues at the time, and was higher than the top stars of the top five European leagues. There are many, so you can see the gap. But these people were not satisfied just like that, which triggered extreme dissatisfaction from the players' union and refused to sign on the labor contract. And there was a general strike, and later it seemed that Stern and the boss took a step back and raised the salary cap.

But because of this matter, the NBA labor dispute has lasted for 129 days until November 7. What is the concept of 129 days? It was a waste of 4 months, so 32 games have been lost in the regular season that year.

I have to say that the things in the next few years are still troubled by Stern!

Bruce didn't believe what Stern said. If it were really dealt with by the Alliance, how could the smiling assassin never be dealt with? It's not fooling me, a kid.

"Haha!" Bruce stopped talking. Sometimes not talking is actually more useful than talking for a long time.

And Stern heard Bruce hehe and it was over, and there was a fire, but he was seriously discussing with Bruce this little bastard, but this **** has this attitude, can it not make him feel angry.

"Bruce, what do you want to do?" Stern heard that Bruce hadn't spoken for a long time, so he could only ask for him.

"It's very simple, if you don't affect the game, I will give up revenge for the time being!" To be honest, Bruce really doesn't want to get up like Stern, it is easy to provoke Stern, and Bruce is really not sure to do a good job. Well prepared.

Bruce, you bastard, you dare to threaten Lao Tzu. Am I Stern afraid of threats?

Not to mention, Stern is really not such a person. In the past, everyone who threatened him in the league, whether it is the boss, general manager or the head coach, was dealt with miserably by him.

Of course, Bruce is no exception, even if he cares about the Chinese market anymore, there are some things he can't lose.

Stern was also on the verge of anger. At this time, he wanted to hung up the phone and went to deal with the matter himself. He wanted to see how capable Bruce was, and even dared to threaten Lao Tzu. He really regarded Lao Tzu as a hellokitty!

"Mr. President, please calm down your anger first. Listen to me. The reason why I say this is actually for the good of the league. Today, this is definitely not covered. Do you think even if you use your own strength to turn the game out of chaos anyway? Can you guarantee that those in the league will not spread this out?"

"And if you intervene, do you have to intervene in time if anything happens in the future!"

"I'm doing this for your good! Besides, if you lose Kobe in the league, don't you still have Allen, and if my Han team loses Kobe, then we can only find the cornerstone to build the team. From this point on, I am better than you. I have to pay more attention to it. Since I have given up my choice to trust Kobe, why can't you trust Kobe? I can assure you that Kobe will live up to expectations and become the next Michael!

If it weren't for the fear of offending Stern, Bruce wouldn't have bothered to say so much!

Stern still listened to what Bruce said, but the anger in his heart was suppressed halfway through.

In fact, when you think about it carefully, what Bruce said is not completely unreasonable. Even if you personally come out to solve the matter, will it not be spread by someone with a heart?

Of course it is impossible. This matter will definitely be known to the media. Since the media will know sooner or later, is it necessary to intervene?

Different people have different opinions. Some people have to intervene, and some people don't have that need.

The reason why Stern wanted to intervene this time was for the image of the alliance. George Sinn had already damaged the face of the alliance this year, and he did not allow another person to damage the alliance to appear.

Although Bruce’s words were a bit threatening, he doesn’t seem to be at a loss!

Bruce is right. If you can't cover it, don't cover it. Finding a breakthrough from Kobe can also reduce the league's influence on this incident. Besides, Bruce has promised. He said that as long as he doesn't affect the game. He temporarily put aside his thoughts of revenge.

Stern had never questioned Bruce's revenge. He knew that Bruce was a must-see, but he didn't want Bruce to come to him at this stage.
