Chapter 310

The urban area of West Lafayette has a total population of 30000.

I'm afraid it's a little inconceivable in China. Thirty thousand people can be called a city?! The population of some large villages in China has this number

But this is the fact that the population in the urban area of sirafaye is so small.

But even if the population is small, the first day of training, due to the reason of the weekend, can accommodate more than 10000 people, is also full of holes and seats.

NBA level games, the key or free tickets, drag the family to see the lively is also good.

Three games a day, one in the morning and two in the afternoon

When the news of the match was reported, it directly attracted many residents of the surrounding cities, and the whole stadium has been in a state of empty seats.

For a whole week, almost all the fans in Indiana drove to West Lafayette. They didn't watch the free game in vain. They could watch three games a day. It was not too exciting

Moreover, according to the newspaper, the event will last for several months. At least before the opening of Purdue University, there will be no tickets for these training competitions. After the opening, Purdue University may charge five to ten dollars for tickets

Indiana is the best basketball state in the United States, and now there is such a big event, the fans are simply not happy!

Not all fans have the chance to watch the NBA games in person. The main reason is that the price is too high. Even the cheapest ticket will cost tens or hundreds of dollars.

It doesn't sound like much, but there are countless poor old Americans who can't afford hundreds of dollars.

Or they may starve for a week after taking it out

Now West Lafayette has a free game to watch, and they drive in groups of leaky old cars from all over Indiana.

The fans' fanaticism is quite understandable. For example, the same thing happened in later China. Thirty NBA players will play for several months in a gymnasium in a small fourth tier city. No ticket fee is charged. Anyone can watch it

Predictably, I'm afraid the fans who go to watch the ball can blow up the stadium.

……

Naturally, the fans are very grateful for Richard. If not for Richard, it may be difficult for them to see the NBA stars compete on the court.

……

But then the league's official press conference, but let these fans angry irrational!

The NBA Management Committee, which was negotiating with the trade union of the stadium, suddenly held an official press conference

Fans and media reporters, thinking that the negotiations between the two sides have progressed, now hold a press conference to explain the situation.

But this press conference didn't mention anything about salary negotiation, only one thing

After research and decision, the alliance management committee will impose a fine of 150000 US dollars on Richard!

When Xiao Hua said this at the press conference, reporters thought he was joking.

Good point. You are negotiating with the players' Union. How do you think of punishing Richard? And a fine is as high as 150000 US dollars. It's not joking

Seeing the reporters' confused appearance, Xiao Hua explained the reason for punishing Richard.

Richard contacted NCAA players who didn't sign up for the draft.

The reason is that the reporters didn't suddenly open up, but were more confused

Xiao Hua's reason, they can understand what it means, because NBA has a rule, before NCAA players do not sign up for the draft, or before they are qualified for the draft, the coaches or executives of each team are not allowed to contact with them, otherwise, the League will be fined.

This is a rule that has been issued for a long time, but basically no one cares about it. There have been coaches who have been fined before, but only fined thousands of dollars, made a warning, and even made some public contacts. The league has opened one eye and closed one eye, and has not pursued it at all.

But now Richard was prosecuted, and the fine was up to 150000 US dollars!

The league has regulations for technical fouls and malicious fouls on the field. At present, the maximum limit is 20000 US dollars, while Richard's fine obviously does not meet the limit of 20000 US dollars.

These things, the reporters know, they really doubt is

Why does NBA punish Richard at this time?! Shouldn't they be fully negotiating with the players' Union?!

And it's not a day or two for Richard to contact NCAA players who are not qualified for the draft.

Didn't Richard take the trailblazers to Purdue University last season? Why didn't the League punish?!

What's more, Richard actually has a boiler worker's honorary head coach on his head. In theory, those boiler workers' players are actually Richard's disciplesHe's in touch with his players? Can this find fault? This is going to be punished?!

It doesn't seem to make sense

Reporters have pointed out to Xiao Hua that Richard is the honorary head coach of the boiler workers, but Xiao Hua has not explained the problem at all, just said to follow the rules.

……

When the news came to the press, the off-season, which was still calm, was suddenly stormy.

There are several state fans who don't particularly like Richard. To be exact, they don't like Richard very much, because Richard always bullies their home team

So when Richard was severely punished, they were very happy and almost told each other.

In some states, the fans are Richard's ironies, especially in Indiana, where Richard is now, because stern is almost scolded as a pig.

Indiana can be said to be Richard's base camp. There are countless fans here. At the beginning, Larry Bird was just on Richard's side, which is also the reason.

After all, walkers earn tickets for Indiana fans

Indiana's media are not too big, all kinds of hype conspiracy theory.

For example, the free ticket training game held by Richard made stern look worried. Stern felt that Richard's practice had shaken the foundation of the NBA

For example, some tabloids reported that Richard was going to start a new league with these players

There are also some small newspapers, who don't know from what channels learned about Richard's billionaire fortune, but also let the story of starting a new career spread.

The fans are naturally angry. They are so angry that they can't watch a good free game!
