Learning in the NBA can make you a god

Chapter 898 The joke finally went away

That night, Li Tian's victory in the badminton men's singles championship once again dominated the hot searches.

Many people who spent money to buy hot searches are now crying in the toilet. After all, the money is spent, but the hot searches are still not on the list.

"Li Tian moves to badminton!"

"Beat Lin Dan, Li Tianhao wins the men's singles championship!"

"Badminton star Li Tian, ​​rookie is the answer!"

"Will Li Tian continue playing badminton or return to basketball?"

Now Li Tian does not have only one choice. This is a new signal. Of course, the Badminton Association will not miss such an opportunity.

If nothing else, he is just this physical monster. After playing men's singles, he might be able to play mixed doubles or men's doubles again.

"Xiao Li, do you really stop thinking about it and continue to compete in the badminton world?" Zhang Nian still doesn't want to give up. This is a person who can hold up the badminton world for at least ten years. He doesn't want to miss it.

"No, no, no, I haven't considered it yet. I have been playing badminton. If Lin Dan hadn't invited me this time, I wouldn't have played badminton. The money I earned this time is enough for my children to eat milk powder for a while."

This is the reason I am looking for. As everyone knows, he refuses just for the sake of refusing. If you continue to ask, it will make no sense.

"Okay, if you want to continue playing badminton, remember to contact me then." Lin Dan had no choice but to leave.

Next, he will continue his new campaign, prepare for the next Olympics, and at the same time improve himself.

He still had to reflect upon his return, as there were a lot of things waiting for him.

"How about it? I know this game. Everyone has seen it. If you have anything to say, just say it directly!" Tatum once again invited representatives from each team.

"Don't think about anything else, but our revenue has dropped in the past two years. We were still making a little profit before, but now the team is directly losing money. What I want is profit, not loss."

Jordan has been in a bad mood recently. The team's performance is not good, the attendance rate is too low, and even the national live broadcasts in the United States are pitiful, so the money is naturally much less.

"Me too. No matter what the reason is, we are here to make money. If we don't make money, what's the point of doing this?"

Another person stood up to support Jordan.

What we want is to make money. No matter who wins the championship in the end, we don't care that much. As long as we can continue to make money, whether there is a championship or not doesn't seem to be that important.

"The ratings are too low. If it continues like this, we will lose money."

The most excited ones are the representatives of TNT and ESPN. This season, except for Kobe Bryant's games, their ratings have dropped significantly.

They also conducted private investigations, especially those users who used to buy a lot of live broadcasts, but now suddenly stopped buying live broadcasts, and asked them why.

Although the reasons for the answers are different, the general meaning is similar.

"An unfair and equitable alliance, why should I watch."

"Why should we watch the live broadcast if the script is written in advance?"

"I won't pay to watch a game without Lee. Of course it's fine with Kobe, but for others, I don't think I'll watch it. It's not exciting at all."

Just like that, TNT and ESPN were equally angry.

"Then tell me, how to solve this problem?" Tatum was in a good mood now. His goal was almost achieved, but he was still relatively restrained and did not show it.

Everyone in the entire conference room knew why they were here, but no one was willing to say it.

Everyone looks at me and I look at you, hoping that someone can bring this topic to light.

There was an eerie silence in the meeting room. Jordan and the team representatives didn't say anything. They were all waiting.

"Ahem!" Tatum cleared his throat. He knew that at this time, he needed to break the silence.

"Since no one is willing to say anything, I'm going to throw some light on it. If you want the alliance to return to its previous state, you need to invite Li back to the alliance. I wonder if you have anything to say about this approach?"

Tatum can only go into battle in person. He is the organizer of this meeting. Rather than continuing to wait, it is better to discuss it in advance.

"I have no objection. If Lee can come back, the league's ratings will definitely increase significantly." The representative of TNT has no objection. This is a good thing. The No. 1 league's return to the league will definitely bring back the ratings.

As long as the ratings go up, they have a chance to make more, so they won't have any objections.

"I also agree. In this case, I will have the opportunity to invite him to join the team and win the championship." Jordan was a little excited. He had long hoped that Li Tian could return to the league, but his voice was a bit soft.

"I don't have any objections. Tell me, if he wants to return to the alliance, what are his requirements?" Everyone here is not stupid. If Li Tianzhen really returned to the alliance unconditionally, he would have returned to the alliance long ago.

"Haha, Li has several conditions, but some conditions cannot be called conditions. After all, this is the prerequisite for the alliance to continue."

After glancing at everyone, Tatum continued. "The first condition is that he wants to be relatively fair, especially when whistleblowing. I think everyone should have no objection to this, right?"

This condition is not a condition at all for them. The fans have long complained about this outrageous whistle.

"No problem, I think this is a must!"

"I have no problem with it, the league needs to be fair and just."

No one has any opinion. Competitive sports need to be fair and just, or relatively fair and just. This is a major premise, and they have no reason to object.

"But there is another requirement, and that is for the joke to fade away from the league management." Tatum said it very cryptically. In fact, everyone understands that if he wants to rise to the top, he needs to let the joke go. This is inevitable.

Everyone fell into deep thought again, because this has a great impact on them. This is to replace the leader of the alliance. If it is done casually, it will be terrible, and the impact will not be small.

"That's it." Everyone whispered, this matter has a great impact, especially the promise that Joke made to everyone before taking control of the alliance was money, but now it is also money. It is the lesser of two evils.

Jordan likes to gamble, but he still hopes to be fair and will stand up to support Tatum.

"Let's all vote. We need to give an answer as soon as possible. Otherwise, if Li moves to badminton next, even if we make the initial change, the price we need to pay to invite him back to basketball may increase again."

Tatum did not forget to put pressure on everyone again, telling everyone that they must cut through the mess quickly.

More than ten minutes passed, and the number of votes in favor of Tatum's decision was greater, 32:14, and the resolution was finally passed.

"Now that everyone has decided, we need to discuss how to remove the joke, and also give the league a decent, fair and just playing environment. I think we need to modify the rules next, strengthen fairness and justice, and give coaches an opportunity to challenge."

Regarding the latter, everyone thinks there is no problem. What is more important is how to remove the joke.

NBA headquarters is in chaos again. Tatum is very concerned about this matter and he must do it himself.

After a week of discussions, it was finally completed. They came up with a good reason, which was to make Tatum temporarily act as president on the grounds of laughing about physical abnormalities.

However, all of this is just a solution they thought of. It will take time to complete this operation. It is impossible to discuss the results and implement them immediately.

After all the communication results came out, Tatum flew to the capital overnight.

******
"Xiao Yueyue, I wonder if you have time here recently?" In order to negotiate with Tatum again, Li Tian flew to the capital again. He didn't want to do this in Lucheng, because if he was caught by reporters, Unfavorable news could easily come out against him.

"Yes, when will you have time here?" Xiao Yueyue was a little excited. He had been waiting for almost a month and finally received the call.

Fortunately, he had just finished a program recently. If he had called him some time ago, he would have had no choice but to refuse.

"Maybe in the past two days, I just flew from Lucheng to Beijing and returned to my residence from the airport. Which small garden is more suitable for me to go to?"

Li Tian reported the approximate location of his address.

"The closest one is the Tianqiao Theater. If you decide on a day, I will make arrangements immediately. At the same time, I will contact my master." Xiao Yueyue said with a smile.

"No problem, I will be able to confirm it tomorrow at the latest."

After hanging up the phone, he came to the place agreed with Tatum.

"Li, your terms have been negotiated by me. No one has any objections, but the operation will take some time. You see."

Tatum wants to know when Li Tian will announce his return to the league.

"No problem, I will announce my return to the league before and after the draft, but I hope this matter can be over soon, otherwise I will definitely return to the league by then."

Li Tian had discussed this matter with Taylor and his family before. The children were getting older and could be brought there to live. The parents would not be too lonely there if they had children to take care of.

"Okay, then let's do this. I will announce this matter as soon as possible. You can rest assured that it will not have any impact on you. Regarding fairness and justice, we will modify the rules and give the head coach a chance to challenge. Then."

No one has any objection to the latter condition. It is just a matter of modifying some rules. It will not have any impact on the league. Presumably many teams will not object.

"No problem, I will announce my return to the alliance on time, as for"

Li Tian did not propose to enjoy Jordan's treatment, because if he enjoyed Jordan's treatment, many teams would definitely object, because this would definitely break the balance of the league.

"That's it. I still need to fly back to New York to work on the rest." Tatum immediately prepared to say goodbye. It could be said that this time it was just a quick trip and it didn't take much time at all before he had to go back again.

"Okay, looking forward to your good news!"

After Tatum left, Li Tian no longer considered the matter. It was better to go back to his courtyard early to take a look. He didn't go over to take a look last time. He could take a good look at these.

He drove away and headed towards the courtyard.
