Legendary Basketball Tycoon

All the bigwigs here, including Bruce, applauded, and everyone welcomed it. Only a few people disagreed, but the principle of the minority obeying the majority must still be followed.

Among them is the Hornets owner George Sinn. God knows how long he has been playing with Stern in the past few months, and Stern wants him to get out of the game immediately, so he does not see any move Stern proposes now. It's pleasing to the eye, after all, whoever makes him bad, he won't make anyone better than Sa!

"Now that the vast majority of people agree, I'm announcing that in 2002 we'll have a new friend joining our family and the league will have 30 more teams!"

Stern is also very happy, it seems that this matter is obviously passed by most people. It also laid the foundation for what he was going to say later.

"The last thing is that the new century has come. With the increasing number of international players, the league has decided that starting from the new season of 2000-2001, the league will vigorously create a civilized atmosphere. I know that many teams have experienced similar races. Discrimination happens. What I need to emphasize here is that after the new season starts, if there is racial discrimination on the court, the league will be severely punished if the player says it, and the fans at the scene or others will order it forever. You can't be there to watch the ball..." Stern said solemnly to everyone sitting there.

In a word, racial discrimination cannot appear on the NBA arena, and the price of your bosses will be extremely high.

Take players as an example. If your team’s players spouting trash on the court involves racist language, then congratulations, your player has won the lottery. America plays.

Players are like this, so needless to say for fans, there will definitely be no chance to appear in any NBA arena to watch the game in the future, which is really expensive.

What surprised everyone here was that Stern actually came up with a liability system. For example, a certain player of your so-and-so team and a fan scolded an international player of the opposing team on the spot, and were suspected of racial discrimination. , so good, the player and fans will not only be punished, but also the team will be punished by the league, which can cost tens of thousands of yuan.

Now many of the big guys here are obviously quitting. Why do they make mistakes and pay for themselves? !

However, the most fierce people who jumped up and shouted were useless. Stern had reason and reason. As long as he mastered the trump card of racial discrimination, it would be useless even if the president came, and he must be punished for committing crimes.

What I have to say is that if things get serious, and the league's punishment is so severe, people may not say anything, but if the league's punishment is light on you, you won't be surprised if those people don't spray you to death!

So it's useless even if these people talk about hype, the world can't tolerate racial discrimination, how can you be a small boss? !

Of course, everyone can see it, this is obviously a "vaccination" that Stern gave them, and the target is obvious, that is Dayao.

Dayao was also attacked like this when he was in the NCAA. Now that he has entered the NBA, it may appear in the future, so Stern called everyone together before the start of the new season to "escort" Dayao. .

At this time, many sensible people have seen the tricks, but they don't say it. As long as you don't say it, I don't say it. Anyway, people who don't know will always make mistakes. "That's it!

Bruce, who has been sitting upright, of course, also saw that many people were staring at us, and kept smiling as long as I wasn't embarrassed and embarrassed by others.

Next, Stern also told the big bosses that the team's fouls will be more stringent in the new season.

Now everyone is staring at Bruce. It's too obvious. It's just a little giant entering the NBA. It can't be said or touched. What do you want everyone to do? !

Bruce is still smiling, he can't say anything!

In fact, as the big guys thought, Stern was here to "escort" Dayao, and it was hard to catch a Chinese who was capable of winning the champion. If he entered the league, something like this would happen. How can you let Stern, who has just tasted the sweetness, get on with it!

In addition, Bruce returned to New York and immediately talked to Stern about the unknown dangers he would face after bringing Dayao into the league, which made Stern determined to "escort" Dayao. After all, the commercial value of Dayao is in Stern's eyes, and the further expansion of China and even Asia depends on Dayao. Therefore, at this time, Dayao is obviously the sweet pastry in Stern's eyes, whoever moves The dead kind.

Although many people objected to this matter, thinking that Stern was partial to someone, but it was useless, because Stern also clearly stated that some international players have great commercial value. Don't you all don't get money from this every year? !

The league gives the team money every year, including broadcasting and advertising, which generally account for half of the total revenue. The NBA deducts broadcast revenue and advertising revenue from the league's needs and distributes it equally to all teams in the league. No matter how the team performs in the season, whether there are superstars or not, whether the location is good or not, the money is the same, avoiding the phenomenon of strong teams signing big contracts and weak teams getting fractions.

More and more international players have joined the NBA family, from the earliest Divac to the current Divac, Ginobili, and the most familiar Yao, all of them in the NBA. The NBA gave them the opportunity to become multi-millionaires, they also gave the NBA better development space, expanded the NBA's influence in the world, and also brought huge profits to the NBA, You can also sign a TV broadcast contract with a TV network. The TV broadcast of the 1996-97 NBA Finals was $800,000 per minute.

Not to mention the advertising income of these international players, not counting the American side, the advertising income of their home country alone is a lot, and the team can also share a lot of benefits from it.

It can be said that Stern is protecting these international players. To put it bluntly, he is protecting Dayao. Now, except for the United States, the proportion of Europe can be equal to that of China. This is why Stern wants to protect Dayao. , Now Dayao can be on par with Europe before he enters the league, China, if he enters and then fights out, there must be no more!

This idiot knows how to choose!

Stern also took out all the data from overseas over the years. In front of the absolute data, the big guys on the scene were silent.

There is no way not to be silent, in the face of huge interests, everyone has to bow their heads.
