Rebirth of Yidi Legend

Chapter 571
It's just that after the draft, the general managers of each team stopped, and there was no trace of the excitement before the opening of the free market, and all the staff fell into a strange silence.

The reason is also very simple... The labor-management negotiations continued until the end of the draft and there was no result. The labor side and the management side were still sticking to each other, and no one was willing to make concessions.

This year is the tenth year and the last year of the last labor agreement. If the two sides cannot reach a consensus before July 7, the league will fall into a shutdown.

If the league is shut down, any team is prohibited from trading players and using player portraits during the lockout period, and players cannot use the services provided by any team, and everything will fall into a stagnation stage.

It is also for this reason that people from all walks of life are now waiting for the last negotiation between the labor and management on July 7. If the negotiation is successful, the alliance will not be suspended, and the transactions that should be carried out can also be carried out normally. Once it comes to a standstill, no matter what the agreement is, it can only continue after the labor and management have completed the transaction and the league has resumed normal operation.

Yi Jianlian also ended his 7-day special training before July 1. Of course, he did not end the special training because of the last negotiation between the labor and management, but the first phase of his original plan was only 28 days, 28 weeks. time.

He knew that the league would definitely be shut down!

Even if he doesn't know the future, he can be sure that the alliance will definitely be suspended, even if it's not this time, the signing year won't be too long.

The reason is also very simple, the NBA has developed too fast in the past ten years!
Ten years ago, it tied for third place with the ice hockey league. Jordan's retirement was a fatal blow to the league at that time!

But ten years later, from a commercial point of view, the influence of the NBA, a major league, is undoubtedly second to none. The other two major leagues, baseball and rugby, do not have the ability to completely suppress it now.

Stern's "NBA globalization" saved the league and completely commercialized the league!

It is also because the alliance is making money every day, and the laborers who want to make money and the employers who want to make more money will definitely be dissatisfied with the original distribution of benefits. It is also for this reason that the suspension of the alliance is a matter of time.

In Yi Jianlian's view, instead of reluctantly maintaining the relationship and signing a tentative contract to continue, it is better to tear up the face and have a formal scolding. Anyway, the suspension cannot be suspended forever!

After all, once the league is shut down, the owners of 30 teams will lose at least 4 million yuan in fixed output value. This is the price that Jordan paid for Charlotte. If they were replaced by a bigger city, such as Chicago or Miami, Less than 20 billion can't be taken down at all.

Not to mention that there are still some teams that are considered family businesses, such as the Lakers. If the league is really suspended, this family will have to drink the northwest wind.

There is another key reason. The speed of commercialization of the league is visible to the naked eye. The appreciation of the team at this speed in the next few years is also a certainty. This kind of investment will definitely pay off. The truth shut down the alliance!

If the labor side is really ruthless, it is not impossible to force the management to bow their heads after going out to fight for a few years.

After all, the nfl's method of dealing with players is really impossible to be effective in the NBA. This is already the best group of basketball players on the planet!It is impossible to find a group of players to replace them. The result will only be that the competition is not intense enough.

They leave only with influence.

Moreover, there is only one nfl in the world, but it is very likely that another NBA will emerge.

Of course, the reality is that the labor side made some compromises in the end, and the management side also made some compromises, allowing the league to recover from the suspension.

This is indeed the best result for both employers and employees. After all, tens of thousands of dollars were lost every minute during the shutdown.

I also know that the suspension of the league will not be very long, so Yi Jianlian has no idea. If it is really suspended for a year, Yi Jianlian believes that with his current influence in the league, he can definitely make China's cba famous. The league has truly become the best league outside the NBA.

But then again...

Even if it's just a few more months of suspension, that's enough for Yi Jianlian to do something for China's cba!
At least let the domestic guys who are just waiting to die see the impact brought by the top league. I really think that playing with a big foreign player all day long means that I have played against someone from the top league, and then I can do whatever I want. Put it on your head?It's a little too naive.

Yi Jianlian was going to return to China to participate in the CBA. This was an idea he had after winning the championship this year. It was nothing but to let the league realize the gap between them and the top leagues!
So the first thing Yi Jianlian did after finishing the special training was to call Hongyuan's team leader Liu Hongjiang and told the latter that if the NBA was suspended, he would sign with Hongyuan and go back to play in the NBA until the NBA suspension ended. Knowing this, I immediately agreed.

He must agree to this matter, and he has no reason not to agree. With Yi Jianlian's current status in the NBA, even if he comes back to play a game, the growth of Hongyuan's influence will be visible to the naked eye!

……

On July 7, as Yi Jianlian remembered, the last negotiation between the labor and management of the NBA broke down. The league reluctantly announced that the NBA had entered an indefinite lockout until the labor and management officially signed the contract.

After this news came out, the entire NBA fell into great chaos. Many celebrities, reporters, and experts spoke out one after another. Some criticized the players for being too greedy, and some criticized the management for being too harsh. opinion, and the reason why they speak out frequently is also very simple. They don’t want the league to be suspended. Jobs are not guaranteed.

Without the NBA, these guys would have no meaning of existence.

Of course, some players also spoke out, such as those rookies who had just been selected by the team. They managed to stand out from the thousands of basketball teenagers. Before they had time to be happy, they were about to fall into worry. If the alliance really stopped, their originally bright progress would undoubtedly be so dim that they could not see the light.

Falling before the finish line is undoubtedly the most painful, these guys are going through such a thing!
