NBA: Start with a three-point experience card

In a moment, except for Morey, the other 29 general managers all agreed.

In the players union, apart from Irving being different, Antetokounmpo also agrees.

Xiao Hua was quite satisfied seeing this result.

Even this has greatly exceeded his expectations.

He originally thought that most of the general managers would not agree, and he prepared a large set of arguments to convince these general managers, but it turned out that it was no longer necessary.

As for the general manager Morey, he disagreed with Irving, the vice chairman of the players union, and ignored them at all.

Although the league just passed a rule last year, as long as there is one, the team does not agree to any resolution and cannot implement it.

But since Xiao Hua took office, any rules are flexible.

Rules can be broken when needed.

Don't say that one or two of you are against it, even if there are tens of millions of people against it, as long as it can make money, it can be broken.

When betting was first introduced to the NBA, there was so much opposition.

What happened afterwards?
Regardless of their objections, Xiao Hua insisted on introducing gambling.

NBA owners made more money after that;
Players earn more money;
Referees earn more money;

All NBA staffers make more money.

Everyone agrees.

So Xiao Hua is sometimes a bit authoritarian.

Owen and Morey objected, let them oppose theirs, and I will do mine.

At this time, Xiao Hua nodded with satisfaction, and said to all the general managers:

"Since everyone agrees, I will call the owners of each team to report this matter one by one."

"It doesn't matter if you don't agree, Morey, I will report this matter to your boss, and then you can see if your boss agrees or not."

"Irving doesn't matter if you don't agree, I proposed this resolution based on the overall situation of the league."

Owen's face was dark at this time: "Then you don't have to invite our players union to attend the meeting, you don't take the players union seriously at all."

Xiao Hua had that iconic smile on his face: "All the decisions we make are based on the overall interests of the league."

Owen laughed back angrily:

"The overall interests of the league? If you do it this way, next season Wang Yi will form the Super Big Three, so what else will other teams have to play for? At that time, the attractiveness of NBA games will inevitably decline, and the NBA's attention will also decline. You Said it was in consideration of everyone's overall interests?"

Only then did Xiao Hua speak:
"Let me say two things. First, the reason why Wang Yi is willing to come back is because I promised Wang Yi that his salary next season will not be included in the team's total salary. Do you think this is for the overall benefit of the entire league?"

"If I hadn't agreed to this and Wang Yi hadn't come back, then the NBA is still half-dead. It's impossible for a play-off game to be watched by hundreds of millions of people. Only Wang Yi came back and played 9 games, making the league more money. Tens of millions of dollars, do you think this is not for the benefit of the alliance?"

Owen was left speechless, but still refused to accept it, and only said: "God."

Xiao Hua went on to say: "Second, I promised Wang Yi that his salary next season will not be included in the team's total salary, but I did not promise him to do so every season."

"Let's take a look at the overall effect after he forms the Big Three next season. If the final result proves that the attention of the NBA has indeed dropped significantly, which is not good for the league, then next season, we will Stop negotiating."

"On the contrary, if the Big Three he formed did not cause the NBA's attention to drop significantly, and did not make the NBA less profitable, then this model will be maintained in the future."

When Xiao Hua said this, the other general managers nodded.

It seems that Xiao Hua has indeed thought about it for a long time, and has thought of all kinds of situations.

His various methods of dealing with subsequent problems are acceptable to all teams.

Brother Antetokounmpo nodded in conviction when he heard this:

"What the president said is right, we have to proceed from the interests of the whole."

Only the general manager Morey kept frowning and said nothing.

Owen kept shaking his head at this time, and said to the general managers:
"As I said, this destroys the overall balance. When Wang Yi wants 1 million US dollars, will you give him 1 million US dollars? If you give him 1 million US dollars, Wang Yi will be happy with [-] million US dollars, and the alliance still has a lot of money." Players have to worry about their livelihoods, and they even have to stay at the homes of their teammates and sleep on the sofa."

"God, you will never allow this to happen."

Then he reiterated again: "I am the vice chairman of the players union. I can deny any resolution of the president. I will never allow such a resolution to be passed."

After speaking, he got up directly.

Shaking his head and sighing "God", he strode out of the conference room.

Since the disintegration of the Big Five Bucks, Irving has now returned to the Cavaliers.

He had been successful here before, so at the end of his career, he wanted to go back to where the dream started.

This year's Cavaliers also entered the playoffs with eighth place in the Eastern Conference through play-offs.

After Irving left the conference room, he flew directly back to Cleveland.

Before boarding the plane, he posted a tweet.

Twitter is a picture.

In the painting, there is a god overlooking all living beings from the sky.

Below this picture is a text: "God said: All living beings are equal."

As soon as his tweet came out, it immediately aroused discussions among many fans.

Owen always likes to engage in some gods and gods. In recent years, his Twitter has almost become a religious propaganda platform.

Every update of his is like this, it is mysterious and deceptive.

At the same time, many reporters also smelled it.

Every time Owen posts, although it seems to be talking about God, it will never be aimless.

It seems that something happened again.

I heard that Irving went to the league meeting this morning. It seems that something must have happened at the meeting.

So many reporters rushed to Cleveland, hoping to hear some news about the meeting from Irving's mouth.

It's just that after Irving returned to Cleveland, he went directly to his residence and stayed behind closed doors.

He didn't even participate in the team's internal training to prepare for the playoffs.

On the open training day, those reporters poured into the Cleveland Arena, trying to find Irving, but they couldn't find it.

When they asked the team's general manager and the team's coach, they all shook their heads.

"Kerry is unwell and is resting at home."

However, according to the news from insiders, even the general manager and coach could not contact Irving.

It seems that Owen's old problem has been committed again.

There have been many times before that the team could not contact him, and no one could find him.

He thought that seeing the start of the playoffs, he could calm down.

Did not expect to come again.
