Compared with the previous big fanfare of the relocation of the headquarters of several major associations, the relocation of the headquarters of some companies in the Xinjian Department is quite low-key this time. It is a listed company that only issued a notice, and the major media in Xiangjiang collectively chose to silence it.

The Spring Festival in 1985 came very late, and the first day of the Lunar New Year was already February 2.

However, Xiangjiang basketball fans are very happy, especially the employees working under the Donghua Club, who can watch the ABA All-Star Game live from the fourth day to the sixth day of the Chinese New Year.

The league has been going on for several years, and this is the first time that Xiangjiang has hosted the All-Star Game, and the tickets for the Xinjian Basketball Center have been sold out a month in advance, and even a lot of standing tickets have been sold.

However, Li Jianhui and others were not in the mood to watch the performance of the stars on the afternoon of the fourth day of the fourth day. Because of the interests, the ABA directors held a plenary meeting again.

Due to economic factors and other factors, the Japanese market is currently the largest contributor to ABA, the Korean market is the second, Xiangjiang is the third, and the North is the last.

But because there are currently only two teams from the North participating, and most of the players in them are national team players from the North to compete in world-class competitions. Their strength belongs to the top of the North. Therefore, the two teams in the North are extremely strong. They are currently ranked in the North this season. Division [-] and [-].

According to the distribution of benefits set by the ABA before, the two teams will get a big share, which naturally caused dissatisfaction among many team owners.

To put it bluntly, the current main contributions to the ABA league are live broadcast fees and advertising fees, and the North has little contribution in these two aspects.

As for tickets, advertising space in the stadium, sales of team autumn clothes, etc., these belong to the team itself and have nothing to do with the league.

Faced with the dissatisfaction of many directors, Charter King and Li Zhaoji exchanged in a low voice, and then said: "I think it is best not to change this system after it is established, which will benefit the long-term development of our ABA.

I admit that the North has contributed little to the ABA at the moment, but we can't just focus on the present, we have to see the future.

You can imagine how huge a market of one billion people is, but according to the plan, the number of teams in the ABA in our north is equivalent to that of Japan and South Korea. Is this fair?
If we use this as an excuse in the future to ask for an increase in the number of teams, will everyone agree?

As for the problem of too many national players in the team, it is just because we currently have a small number of teams. Once the six clubs are established, they will be similar to everyone. "

Although this rhetoric is still not satisfactory to everyone, it has also subsided a lot. After all, none of the people present are fools, and no one is willing to give up the huge market in the north.

As for the North’s desire to increase the number of clubs, it’s unthinkable, not to mention Japan and South Korea, anyway, the major clubs in ASEAN will never agree.

According to the previous plan, all completed, the league will have 48 teams, which is already quite a lot. In order to reduce player fatigue, the regular season teams will only play two games. In this way, a team will have 94 games in the regular season. Contest.

This is still quite a lot, so after the completion of the plan, the preseason games will be canceled directly, and the games will start in September.

"Although there are some minor problems in the development of our league, overall it is thriving and the overall level of basketball in our countries and regions has also improved. Last year's Olympic Games is a good proof.

Considering the development of various regions and relative fairness, our league management wants to plan ahead of schedule and complete the formation of 48 teams before the start of next season.

In order to expand the influence of our league, in addition to the current Shanghai and Huacheng in the north, the other four teams need to be in Yuzhou in the southwest, Jiangcheng in central China, Beijing in North China, and Chang'an in the northwest.

As for Shenzhou in the northeast, due to the limited number, it can only be given up.

Correspondingly, Malacca was added to Malay, Rayong was added to Thailand, Medan was added to Indonesia, and Zamboanga was added to the Philippines.

I wonder if the directors have any opinions on this plan? "

As soon as Chen Zhiyong finished speaking, the representative of Japan's Tokyo Fuji team immediately said: "I think it is not beautiful to have less Shenzhou in the northern plan. I hope that there will be another club in the north. Correspondingly, we will also add one in Japan. The numbers are not equal, and the Lisboa team can be transferred to the southern division."

This remark was immediately opposed by the heads of major clubs in Taipei and ASEAN, but the heads of several major clubs in South Korea supported his proposal, but South Korea also needs to add a club.

Li Jianhui saw that all parties were arguing endlessly, and said: "Please be quiet, everyone. Considering the factors of all parties and the strategic layout of the league, I support the northern Japan and South Korea to have seven teams. Correspondingly, Baodao, Malay, Indonesia, The Philippines and Thailand each added a team.

In this way, the league will have 56 teams, with a total of 28 teams in the north, Japan, South Korea, Jiabao Island and Lisboa as the northern division, and a total of 28 teams from Xiangjiang and ASEAN as the southern division.

The competition system has also been adjusted. There will be one game for host and guest in the competition area, a total of 54 games, 27 games for home and guest.

Outside the competition area is only a single game, a total of 28 games, 14 home games and 14 away games.

In this way, the regular season is 82 games, which reduces the fatigue and pressure of the main players compared to the previous plan.

But now we are facing a big problem, because of the change of plan, whether the North can be formed as scheduled. "

In this regard, the Chartered Ship King has quite the right to speak, without waiting for everyone to discuss, he immediately said: "Because after the plan was proposed, the North has always been prepared. As the center of the Northeast, Shenzhou can still meet the needs of the league in terms of hardware facilities.

As for the formation of the team, please rest assured that we will find investors as soon as possible. "

At present, the northern Shanghai team is invested by Xianghuahui, the investor behind Huacheng team is Xinhonghui, behind the Yuzhou team is Xinyang Clothing Group, Jiangcheng team is Nanjiang Club, Beijing is Xinya Club, and Changan is Golden Princess Cinema Group.

At this meeting, the issue of new team players was also discussed. At present, after the end of this season, the major teams can only retain three core places. The major new teams have the right to sign contracts except for the three reserved places. any player.

Although Charter King and Li Zhaoji knew that this was for their team, they still agreed to it.

And this season has already been a big profit for them, and it is obviously impossible for the league to tolerate this situation continuing.

Of course, this meeting also discussed the issue of competition with the NBA. Because of skin color and race issues, the ABA has always been at a disadvantage compared with the NBA in Europe, Latin America, Australia, Africa, and even West Asia and South Asia.

Fortunately, the population in East Asia and Southeast Asia is large, and the resources and publicity of the ABA in this period are far better than the NBA, so that the ABA can wrestle with the NBA.

Regarding how to let the ABA overwhelm the NBA, these shareholders present are quite interested and express their opinions.

In order to increase the influence in Europe and Latin America, everyone decided to increase the excavation of European and Latin American players next season, and at the same time attract more European and Latin American players to join the ABA.

For this reason, the restrictions on players outside the league area have been deliberately relaxed. Starting next season, each team can have up to four players from outside the league area, and the number of European, American, and non-Oceanian players can be directly doubled.
