December 25, Christmas. It snowed heavily in Los Angeles last night, and the whole city was covered in snow. It was a white Christmas. Standing on the 78th floor of the Hilton Hotel, the whole Los Angeles is snowy and beautiful. However, anyone can feel the enthusiasm and vitality of the city from the abnormal shaking in the air.
And all this energy and enthusiasm is for a game. The Los Angeles Lakers are at home tonight against the defending champion Houston Rockets. This Christmas War is enough to ignite the enthusiasm of all Los Angeles fans.
Under the temptation of this Christmas War, the day in Los Angeles is particularly long. At this moment, all fans can't help but think of a song - I close my eyes is dark ~ ~. If only I could close my eyes, it would be dark!
After all the fans had been suffering for a long time, they finally waited until dark. Christmas War starts!
The Los Angeles Lakers continued to use the "OK" combination of Kobe and O'Neal as the blueprint, supplemented by some blue collar players with simple but solid basic skills, their performance was better than last season's "F4", ranking second in the league.
Houston rockets, after defending the title last season, did not add what awesome players they could, but only three old players, Barkley, Malone and Payton. But with enough young players, James, Wade, Boozer, Yao Ming and others growing up, they are now at the top of the league.
This strong confrontation naturally attracts all fans. Early on, the staples stadium was full of fans. When the players of both sides come out, the whole staples stadium is even more lively to the top.
Lin Feng and his party naturally sit in the first row, which is the best position. Of course, there is also a box for Laker boss Buss to sit in, but it's still a pleasure to watch basketball games in the first row. Sitting in the box is no different from sitting in front of the TV.
The arrival of Lin Feng and others naturally caused a lot of noise. Of course, at Staples, Lin Feng would never get the same courtesy as he did at Houston Rockets. The fans here are only loyal to the Los Angeles Lakers. This city is the city of Los Angeles.
The referee whistled.
"Here we go!" Lin Feng whispered.
"Rocket, come on! Kill the Lakers Taylor Swift has no scruples about the image of shouting.
Lin Feng shook his head helplessly. This Taylor Swift is a bit too fierce. Yesterday was a night for him. Thinking of that night yesterday, Lin Feng burst into tears. He was almost not crazy by Taylor Swift. The little girl didn't know what was in her head. How could she have so many fantastic ideas? But she was so brave that she made Lin Feng laugh and cry. Fortunately, the little girl finally had limited energy and fell asleep. Otherwise, Lin Feng would be a real tragedy.
"Come on! come on. Kill the Lakers Taylor Swift yelled in his seat, not worried about the Laker fans all around him. At the moment, Taylor Swift was fiercely on board. If it wasn't for his young age, girl and singer, I'm afraid he would have thrown this provocative rocket fan out of the stadium.
In the silence of Lin Feng, the game has begun. The Los Angeles Lakers, with the advantage of time, place and people, gained the upper hand and ended the first half with a 10 point lead over the Houston Rockets.
However, in the second half, the Houston Rockets, led by the immortal legend Joe Tianwang, chased all the way and finally tied the score before the end. Both sides entered into overtime.
Five extra time, the two sides have been playing five extra time, and finally played 198:200 amazing score. However, in the end, the Houston Rockets were superior, and Joe Tianwang once again showed his killer nature, killing the Los Angeles Lakers and winning the longest Christmas War.
The whole scene was boiling. Although it's staples here and the Los Angeles Lakers lost today, all the fans cheered for today's historic game. It doesn't matter who the winner is. What's important is that the Los Angeles Lakers and the Houston Rockets have joined hands to play a fantastic game for all the players.
Christmas War, absolutely worthy of the title!
Lin Feng, like all the audience, stood up and applauded for the wonderful match. Qiao Tianwang's last shot was really cool.
But at this time, someone pulled Lin Feng back from the joy of victory.
"Mr. Lin, let's talk!" Stern came to Lin Feng as everyone applauded the game.
Lin Feng was slightly stunned, then followed stern all the way to the underground parking lot.
"Mr. Lin, I always admire the success of your team. I also envy you for being able to get along with the players. It can be said that your team has become a model of NBA team building now Stern sighed.
"Mr. stern, let's be frank." Lin Feng will not be confused by Stern's compliment. Stern's special visit to himself today is not a compliment.
Stern smiles.
"Mr. Lin, you should know that the labor negotiations are coming soon." Stern said softly.
Labor negotiations—— Lin Feng immediately thought of the labor negotiations in 1998. In that year, the NBA's labor and capital bickered, resulting in the suspension of the NBA's new season. In the end, although the two sides reached an agreement, the damage to the NBA's image was huge. It took a long time for the NBA to regain its popularity. Is it time for labor negotiations again?
"Mr. stern, I'm rather busy. As for this negotiation, I'll give Mr. Dawson full authority to handle it on my behalf." Lin Feng thought about it.
This kind of labor management negotiation is the most boring. Lin Feng has so many things, but he has no time to get involved in it. So, it's the best choice for Dawson to represent himself.
Stern took a long breath. If Dawson goes, he'll be at ease.
"Why, Mr. stern, it seems that you care a lot about me going. What's wrong with me going?" Lin Feng observes carefully, and sees Stern's ease after hearing that he is going to send Dawson.
"Ha ha, Mr. Lin, that's why I came to you today." Stern was slightly embarrassed.
"Mr. Lin, you should know that you are representing the management. But the relationship between you and the players really worries me. The labor negotiations are about 30 teams and the future of the NBA. Therefore, I am worried that Mr. Lin will affect this negotiation because he attaches too much importance to feelings. " Stern weighed his words.
In fact, to put it bluntly, stern is worried that Lin Feng, one of the representatives of the management, will eventually stand on the side of the players. If that is the case, I am afraid the labor negotiations will not be a good one. It's either a complete collapse or a complete victory for the players. At that time, the players' Union will certainly take the opportunity to put forward many excessive demands, such as salary increase and contract extension.
These requirements may not matter to Lin Feng. This can be seen from Lin Feng's promise that he will give all players equal value contracts. Lin Feng doesn't care about the money. But Lin Feng doesn't care. He is rich, but the other 29 bosses are not so rich. Most teams are losing money. If Lin Feng is on the side of the players, and eventually leads to the failure of the management negotiation, it will have an immeasurable impact on the league.
Therefore, Stern was naturally relieved to hear that Dawson would negotiate on behalf of Lin Feng. Dawson is an old fox. He will know what the hidden rules are and what the business is. He will have a clear division. It's one thing to have a good relationship with the players. It's another thing to negotiate with the employers. In Stern's view, Lin Feng is probably indistinguishable. Maybe, Lin Feng can tell, but it doesn't matter.
Just ask, a super rich who is worth more than 100 billion US dollars, will care about the player's "this point" salary!
Lin Feng is speechless. But think about it, I really don't care about the salary required by the players. As long as they have strength and level, it doesn't matter to give them more money. Moreover, in Lin Feng's view, as long as the development is good, no matter how high the player's salary is, he can make money for the team.
"Don't worry, Mr. stern. I'll give Dawson full responsibility for this. But remember, you owe me one! " Lin Feng laughs.
Stern was speechless. This guy looks confused, but he's not really smart. Let oneself owe a favor, this person please can big go. But think about his "dry son" James in the Houston Rockets, Asian Promotion talents - Yao Ming in the Houston Rockets, the God of Basketball - Jordan is also in the Houston Rockets, he does not take care of the Houston Rockets to take care of who!
"Well, Mr. stern, I'll go first. Merry Christmas Seeing that they had finished talking, Lin Feng turned and waved.
"Merry Christmas!" Stern said softly.
Maybe in the next few years, this alliance will be ruled by this young man! However, I'm not too young. In terms of Lin Feng's ability to make money, maybe he can take over his job in the future. Of course, the premise is that he can distinguish between public and private. This guy, sometimes, is a little too emotional, and he is too loyal to his friends. This is not a good thing for a pure businessman. But its ability to make money is admirable.
Stern looked at Lin Feng's back and thought.
At this time, Lin Feng naturally doesn't know what stern is thinking. For Lin Feng, tonight is a day to celebrate. The Houston Rockets beat the Los Angeles Lakers in five extra hours. Although it's not the playoffs, it's also a day to celebrate.
Cheers! Cheers!
That night, Lin Feng and all the players of Houston Rockets got drunk. Of course, many players are drunk, but Lin Feng is not. There's no way. Lin Feng drinks too much. Now it's hard for him to get drunk. In the wine world, he has a feeling of seeking to get drunk.
The next day, just after dawn, Lin Zhiling woke up Lin Feng who had just fallen asleep.
