Legendary Basketball Tycoon

I have to say that Stern thought that Bruce had stopped Xu and Zhang from talking about the league's "bad things" in the live broadcast, and he was very satisfied with Bruce's operation this time.

Although the kid often causes trouble for him, Bruce still has his own advantages. Bruce has a huge advantage abroad, especially in China. It can be said that leaving Bruce in the league means that the league can continue to attract money in China. .

This can't be too sour!

Xiao Guangtou also believes that this matter must be Bruce's direction of controlling public opinion in China.

Anyway, in the eyes of the fans in China for this game, Kobe's performance today is not good, but those who know the NBA in the 1980s will definitely not think much.

China is safe here, and Stern is also preparing to solve the impact after the game. I have to say that the media reporters who often report on NBA games are not fools. They all saw it shortly after the game started. Now, this will be waiting to go back and think about how to write the layout!

This is too hot, Jordan's heir actually participated in the All-Star Challenge for the first time and received the same treatment as Jordan that year. What a topic!

Everyone thought that Jordan’s "isolation" incident would not happen, but never expected that it would happen again, and it was Kobe Bryant. No one needs to say anything about Kobe’s relationship with Jordan. It seems that the NBA is bullied. Jordan’s custom, Jordan’s first All-Star tour is also like this, Kobe is still like this, so in the future, Kobe’s disciple (Jordan’s apprentice) will receive another treatment? We often say a saying, called Keyi But the two must not be repeated, and in European and American countries, there is no such tradition. They think that the more such "activities", the better, and it is best to have them every year.

There are every year, but thinking about it is beautiful.

Didn’t you see that Stern’s face turned black now!

...

"Adam, you send someone to investigate and see who is controlling all this behind the scenes!" Stern stopped Xiao Bald and whispered.

Stern is now in a hurry to go back to deal with the post-match media trends, there is nothing to investigate these, and as the assistant to the president, Xiao Baldou has the right to investigate the situation.

"Good president!" After receiving the order, Xiao Bald head turned and left.

"Adam, wait, remember to investigate this matter yourself, and after the investigation is out, just tell me the results. Other people don't need to know about this, understand!" Stern pulled Xiao who turned away in a hurry. Bald said cautiously.

Although I hate the instigator who planned this conspiracy, Stern still considered it. What if the black man behind the scenes is too big this time? You must know that even if he sent someone to investigate Jordan who was the smiling assassin and the magician, he did not choose to punish these two people. The reason is simple. The influence of these two people in the NBA is too important, let alone these two people. If you don't admit "isolation" Jordan, even if he admits Stern, he won't be punished. If you really do this, wouldn't it be the face of the League!

And no matter who the investigation is, Stern still maintains an unpunished attitude. This is because the player’s private behavior did not involve a violation of the league’s rules and regulations and therefore cannot be punished, but this incident is undoubtedly challenging his nerves. Touching his bottom line, so no matter who is investigated, the revenge must be left to Bruce, and he will never let the team behind the scenes get better.

Let’s just put it this way. Once Stern is angered, if the investigation reveals that the person behind the scenes is the senior or boss of a certain team, then I’m sorry, if you want a good sign, it’s basically during Stern’s reign. I definitely can’t get it. Even if this team ranked first in the league that season, I still don’t want to get the top three picks. Stern is so domineering. If he doesn’t give it, he still does it every year. This right.

Of course, you might say that since you can't get the top three picks, then signing all-star players to form the "Big Three" is the same. Stern can't control it, right.

If you really think so, you would be very wrong. Stern can’t refuse the team’s usual player deals, but he will “make excuses”.

...

Remember why the league prevented Paul and Kobe from joining forces?

On December 9, 2011, the Los Angeles Lakers, the New Orleans Hornets and the Houston Rockets reached a tripartite deal. The Lakers got Paul and sent out Pau Gasol and Odom. The Rockets get Gasol, and the Hornets get Martin, Dragic, Scola and Odom of the Rockets. In addition, the Rockets also sent one of their 2012 first-round picks to the Hornets. At that time, the deal shocked the league as soon as it came out. When the deal was almost completed, Stern, the then NBA president, suddenly announced that the deal had been suspended for basketball reasons.

When the former owner of the Hornets, George Sinn, peddled the Hornets in 2011, there was no shortage of buyers, but there was only one local from New Orleans, who withdrew from the competition for various reasons. At the time, Stern, president of the alliance, pointed out that for a city like New Orleans that has experienced hurricane disasters, the alliance always hopes to do something for it. In other words, the NBA does not want New Orleans to be hit by the removal of the Hornets by foreign buyers after the hurricane. On the other hand, the league does not want to see the Hornets being sold at a low price, so it temporarily took over and waited for local people to buy this team before selling. So, the Hornets are temporarily managed by the league. Paul is the Hornets’ signature. If Paul is traded, the Hornets’ box office will definitely not be guaranteed. If the league wants to change hands with the Hornets, it’s not easy to sell. This is just one of the reasons!

Another reason is that more than half of the team’s owners called Stern to oppose the deal. Just kidding, Paul was definitely the number one point guard in 2011. If he is playing with Kobe, then what else are they playing! Simply declare that the Lakers have won the championship! They collectively believe that this deal will change the league's structure and hurt their market. Prior to this, the Lakers had won 16 championships, and they were still in a big city like Los Angeles. The ball market was never something they needed to consider. At that time, many team owners were still working hard for the profit and loss of the ball market, which was obviously not fair to them. So at that time Stern made the decision to stop for the sake of the overall interests of the alliance and the harmonious development of the alliance.

Now it seems that if the Lakers had the best point guard Paul, the best point guard, and then the first center Howard after the deal was completed, the Lakers might really have to notify the league, but other teams would not. It's time to play. So fortunately, the league stopped the deal at the time, otherwise it is estimated that the other 29 teams would simply not play.

...

Therefore, there are ways to prevent dealing with all-star players, and it is feasible to contact many team owners to carry out this operation.

Just contacting other team owners doesn’t need Stern to take action by himself. He only needs to call Bruce. By virtue of the small team of Bruce and the cooperative alliance of Paul Allen, more than half of the teams Don't be too easy to oppose.

It can be said that no matter how you play, the other party is dead, and offended Stern and Bruce, the two black-bellied guys, the ending is indeed not very good!

In fact, these are all side dishes, the main dish Stern hasn't come out yet!

You may ask what other dishes are there?
