"Adam, seriously, I used to think you were a little shameless. Now, I really underestimate you..." Said Richard, speechless.
"I have learned a lot from you in the past ten years." Xiao Hua laughed, not angry at Richard's words.
"Come on, you're born shameless. I'm not as shameless as you are."
"It's not a big deal. I'll call you tomorrow." Said Richard.
He agreed to help Xiao Hua out of the trouble.
As long as the players have a strong voice, as long as the players threaten the league, it will be easy to do this. Xiao Hua is "forced" to modify the draft system, so even if NCAA is not satisfied, it can't say anything
Can't let the NBA strike?
In this way, it may not take long for the NBA to open its doors to high school students.
And Xiao Hua got the good feeling of the players, do not have to bear the curse, by the way, can also create some profits for the league.
……
The first reason why Richard agreed to Xiao Hua so happily is that it's really not difficult. It's just a matter of hands.
The second reason is that NBA changes the draft system, which is good for their sons. They can enter the League earlier.
In Richard's view, it's sheer bullshit that high school players will lose themselves in the NBA.
An 18-year-old is a child. Isn't 19 a child?
Kobe Bryant, Garnett, James and xiao'ao are all high school students. They haven't seen them lose themselves. They're not mixed up.
And the reason why high school players are opposed to entering the league is that they can learn something in College
To be honest, these college players can learn a little bit in college, and they are optically chasing girls every day. A hundred players coming out of NCAA are not necessarily able to find a person who loves learning.
In this case, if Richard has any reason to let his two sons go to school, it's better to play in the League earlier.
Of course, if the two children are willing to participate in the draft directly, otherwise, Richard will certainly respect their choice.
……
Let libit and Lijin graduate from high school and enter the league. Richard's purpose is not to make money, but to adapt to the game rhythm of the League a year earlier.
One year early in the league, you can play one more year than others, which is very good for the evaluation of historical status and the acquisition of various honors.
……
After returning to Los Angeles, Richard called several big brother silafaye in the league, and also called retired Iverson and others to take the lead in urging the League to change the draft system.
The next day, all parties started to attack the draft system of the league. Paul, the president of the players' Union, said that their players' Union needed a clear attitude from the league. Otherwise, they would take measures.
In fact, the players' Union has always hoped that the NBA will allow high school students to participate in the draft. When they negotiated with the NBA before, they actually talked about this matter, but this is not the most important thing for them, so after meeting their demands in terms of salary, they didn't bother about it
With such a good opportunity now, the players' Union is not willing to miss it.
Paul, the president of the players' Union, said that measures should be taken. After 10 years of big mouth top scorer watching the whole league attacking, he even directly said that he would sue the Management Committee
Countless stars are asking the League to change the rules that forbid high school students to take part in the draft, soft or hard. Xiao Hua's life must be very difficult for the outside world.
But on the contrary, Xiao Hua's life is not too comfortable. In his office, he poured a glass of good red wine, looked at the news and smiled.
It was the first big thing he had ever done since he came to power. I didn't expect it to be so easy.
Now all he has to do is wait until things get out of hand and he announces that the League will change the draft system in the past two years.
In this way, there must be nothing wrong with the NCAA.
……
A week later, seeing that the situation was out of control, Xiao Hua finally made a move.
Tan Huimin held a press conference on behalf of the Management Committee of the league, announcing that for up to two years, they will release the restrictions on high school students to participate in the draft.
As soon as the news came out, the players were naturally quite satisfied. Many players praised the League Management Committee in public rarely
To know how to praise the management committee, it was rare in Stern's time. Richard didn't remember anyone who praised stern in that time.
In the minds of the players of Stern's time, Stern's name was almost synonymous with tyrant, dictator, devil and inhumanity.Now Xiao Hua seems to be more human, at least he can accept the players' opinions.
……
Richard didn't take care of Xiao Hua's dirty business. After calling for him, he didn't pay much attention to it. Anyway, Xiao Hua must be able to handle it by himself.
If Xiao Hua can't figure out such a simple thing, Richard should doubt how Xiao Hua won Stern's trust.
……
In late January, the All-Star lineup was in full swing.
The All-Star starting line-up in the west is Paul and Kobe Bryant in the back, Howard, Granger and Leonard in the front.
Leonard was chosen into the starting line-up, which was quite unexpected to Richard.
But when you think about it, it's also expected that Richard explicitly called Leonard the leader of the clipper on many occasions.
Now that the clippers have won the first place in the west, it is quite normal for Leonard to be selected as the leader of the team.
And Leonard is quite young, just a second year player, Los Angeles City has always been full of young talent.
As for Thompson, who is now popular in Los Angeles, after his crazy performance of 28 points in the first quarter, he played another 21 points in a single quarter in the middle of January, which is quite dazzling.
However, because of the existence of Kobe and Paul, he certainly can't get into the starting lineup.
But Thompson doesn't make it into the starting line-up, in fact, it's no difference to Richard.
Howard was removed from the first five players in the Western Conference, and the remaining four players were all the West Lafayette players. Whoever gets the amvp, Richard can start the ninth part of the super giant suit.
And because Howard is an inside player, he may not play for a long time. Richard can let Thompson play more.
Thompson was third in the backcourt in terms of the number of votes he got. He could not find fault by asking him to play a little longer.
That is to say, the main force of the all star team in the west is all Richard's people. As long as they can win the game smoothly, it's basically a super suit.
And now the biggest problem is the win and lose of the game.
Today's League is so engaged by Richard, leading to some imbalance between the eastern and Western stars.
There are fewer stars in the West and more in the East. Durant, who originally belonged to the west, is now in the East, and Griffin is also in the East. Under normal circumstances, both of them are the starters of all stars in the West.
Judging from the book strength, the west is not as strong as the east at present. Richard is worried about losing the game now.
