Chapter 463 'The Zhongyu Clause' Breaking the Arenas Clause

During this period of time, Stern was really worried and had no choice.

The protests of the fans came one after another——

"If we don't let Zhong Yu play, we won't watch the game!"

"If you don't agree with Zhong Yu's contract, we won't watch the NBA anymore!"

"Zhong Yu's ability and his commercial value are already worth so much money, why not give it to him?"

…………

The fans are very simple, seeing that Zhong Yu didn't play in the first few games of the preseason, they were anxious!
They also want to see if a Clippers team led by Zhong Yu can break the shadow of the Lakers and let people see a brand new team!
As a result, Zhong Yu didn't play even once because of the delay in negotiations, and the fans were of course not happy about it.

Fans from all over the world are admonishing the NBA one after another.

Especially the Chinese fans, also put forward a statement——

"The relationship between Zhong Yu and the Clippers, the Clippers offer such a big contract, one of them is willing to fight the other, it has nothing to do with your league!"

Chinese fans are really angry!

It is not easy for China to have an outstanding player like Zhong Yu, and he is so outstanding that even Jordan is ashamed of himself!What's wrong with him taking 8000 million for three years?They even felt that the price was not worthy of Zhong Yu's performance!What are you bastard Stern talking about there!

After Stern heard this point of view, he wanted to cry without tears...

He also wanted to give more... But how could he just give it casually!A big league should have a big league's rules. Zhong Yu's price is indeed not something that can be measured by 8000 million in three years... But the most important thing is that their contract is to break the rules!
This is the most confusing.

Stern felt like his intestines were about to burst!However, before the anger of the fans was resolved, he received a protest from Adidas——

Adidas also asked the league to lift the ban on Zhong Yu as soon as possible!
"SHIT! Why are you here to join in the fun!" Stern was about to scold his mother. At this time, these sluts came to make trouble, and by the way, they also brought some other advertisers who endorsed by Zhong Yu to protest.

Adidas can't sit still!

Zhong Yu's recent commotion is quite loud.

This is conducive to increasing his popularity, but he always does not appear on the stage, so who can see the Adidas boots Zhong Yu is wearing?
They were in a hurry and put pressure on Stern.

What's more, Zhong Yu's big contract also made them feel good.

They gave Zhong Yu a sky-high contract before, but when they thought that his salary was still so low, they felt a little unbalanced. Now that the Clippers are going to give Zhong Yu such a big contract, the contract they gave Zhong Yu is just as big. It will make them feel more comfortable...

And the league got stuck with this contract, so of course these people quit.

------

Although the contract from Adidas did not become the last straw that broke the camel's back, it did make Stern think more.

Seeing that more than half of the preseason has been carried out, Stern has finally finalized it and is going to have a real negotiation with the Clippers and some other screaming teams!
The negotiations were tough, but they were going on, and Stern decided to end them quickly.

…………

The owners of the other 29 teams in the league may have a few sincere protests, but most of them are here to join in the fun.

After seeing this kind of negotiation, some of them didn't bother to join in the fun and left temporarily. After losing so many bosses to support them, the team that opposed Zhong Yu's signing a high contract with the Clippers was suddenly pulled away. few.

The rest are basically diehards...

However, in front of Stern, who has already made a decision, these teams can only compromise if they don't want to compromise...

After all, Stern still has a lot of ability... The matter of Zhong Yu, whether it is big or small, is in the end just a matter of a player.

It's not as big as shutting down the NBA because of negotiations...

Therefore, under Stern's insistence, the alliance's negotiations finally came to a result——

On October 2009, 10, the NBA officially announced the penalty for the Clippers' violation of the Arenas clause!

Because the Clippers, knowingly broke the law, broke the clause in terms of salary when they knew that there was an Arenas clause, and broke the rules with a three-year super contract of 8000 million. Therefore, the league decided to give Los Angeles The Clippers are fined $50!

50 US dollars, that is a figure that some poor writers can hardly earn in their lifetime, but compared to the 3 million US dollars given to Zhong Yu by the Clippers in 8000 years, it is really a small amount of money!
The alliance's punishment was really painless, and let everyone know the attitude of the alliance.

And indeed!The league has already established a position to support Zhong Yu. Since Zhong Yu emerged in the NBA, his skills have become better and better, and his performance has become more and more powerful. The league has been promoting Zhong Yu.

So this time, the alliance can also be said to be a compromise with Zhong Yu.

In fact, from another perspective, the alliance's compromise is also a good thing - if Zhong Yu's value is restricted by the Arenas clause, it would be too wronged!
This can be regarded as a reasonable price for Zhong Yu!
Of course, this fine is only the first penalty imposed by the league.

Followed by the dates given by the alliance——

The NBA officially decided to approve Zhong Yu's contract application from the Clippers. At the same time, based on Zhong Yu's actual situation, they also wanted to stop the mouths of everyone, so while breaking the Arenas clause, they established a new terms.

This new term is called 'Zhong Yu Clause'.

Named after Zhong Yu!
Now, because of this incident, Zhong Yu has really gained a chance to be famous in history - the alliance has established a clause based on his name, which is a proud and glorious thing.

Afterwards, the alliance announced the content of the 'Zhong Yu Clause'——

If a second-round pick (including undrafted players) ends the contract of the first two years or the previous year, and the rookie has four years left to sign a new contract.If this player can average more than 60 points per game in the finals of last season, and at the same time, he can also win the finals MVP and regular season MVP, then he can break the Arenas clause and get a maximum salary.If this player can score more than 50 points in every game in the finals of last season, then he can break other rules and get a contract exceeding the maximum salary!
This provision has just come out, although most fans expressed the strongest support, but, in the eyes of some people, it immediately became ridiculous and stupid——

"Didn't this shit take off his pants and fart?"

This is the exclamation of some Chinese fans. I don’t know how it was seen by foreign netizens, so these nondescript foreign statements came out——

"This so-called 'Zhong Yu Clause' is like taking off your pants and letting your farts out. But this has indeed become the real 'Zhong Yu Clause'—because no one but Zhong Yu can get out of it again." benefit from this provision..."

That's true!
It is conceivable, really, except for Zhong Yu, no one can approach this clause, averaging 60 points per game in the finals...

Isn't this a fantasy!

More importantly, this clause is only suitable for undrafted players or second-round picks... Can an undrafted player or second-round pick have such a wonderful performance?How is it possible!What's more, it is also required to win the MVP of the finals and the MVP of the regular season...

It can be said that the emergence of this clause is completely tailor-made for Zhong Yu.

And only he can afford it.

Therefore, this clause was accused of taking off pants and farting, which was completely correct, but the alliance did pass this contract, which gave Zhong Yu the ability to use the big contract he got in a legitimate way.

Zhong Yu's contract also became necessary.

…………

After the "Zhong Yu Clause" was officially introduced, of course many people from other teams were making noise, but after a while, they knew it was useless and slowly shut up.

As a result, the whole world, wherever there are Zhong Yu fans, rejoiced.

"This is a great victory! It belongs to Zhong Yu! After his own struggle, he finally reached an agreement with the alliance and got an unimaginable super contract that is in line with his worth. With such a contract After that, Zhong Yu finally got a suitable contract."

"The contract negotiations are over, and Zhong Yu can finally return to playing on the court. This is really a wonderful thing."

"Zhong Yu should have returned to the court a long time ago! The contract negotiations are finally over, and this situation finally happened."

The fans began to celebrate another victory for Zhong Yu.

"The Zhong Yu Clause! A clause named after Zhong Yu, he is really awesome now! But, I don't know if anyone can benefit from this clause in the future?" Some of Zhong Yu's Chinese fans said so thinking.

The Zhongyu Clause has been discussed intensely around the world. Although most people think that the league's introduction of this clause is a complete compromise and a pathetic act of taking off their pants and farting, they also admit that this clause guarantees players The interests of the players allow a super player like Zhong Yu to have a contract that suits his worth.

…………

"Dude! We won!" Pelinka's voice rang out with a gruff grin on the phone.

Zhong Yu also smiled and said: "Yeah, I finally won... You have worked hard these days, Mr. Pelinka."

"This is what I should do... At the same time, I also think it's a good choice for you to accept my suggestion."

"Of course!" To be honest, at the very beginning, Zhong Yu still felt that this approach was too precarious, but now it seems that the dangerous situation has been ruled out.

Zhong Yu and the others won!

won the final victory.

The league specially introduced a 'Zhong Yu Clause' for him!
