Rebirth of Yidi Legend

Chapter 579 CBA With Expanded Influence
What the domestic fans didn't expect was that the movement of the CBA had just made a little noise.

The news related to the CBA followed one after another. After just one week, among the many teams in the CBA, only one or two teams had no contact with NBA players.

Yi Jianlian's coming to the CBA made the entire NBA players pay attention to this domestic league in China. It is also because Yi Jianlian signed this league that many NBA players are also willing to come to this league to try.

Again, Yi Jianlian's current influence is phenomenal, whether it is for domestic fans or foreign fans, or for NBA players, it is the same.

This also makes the CBA favored by NBA players by more than several times compared to the attention received by the CBA in the same period.

There are people in the imperial court who are easy to handle. This sentence is true wherever it is placed.

Yi Jianlian is a symbol, his choice can affect the choice of a large number of people.

And this kind of influence is not false. The attention of NBA stars became a reality soon after. Many CBA teams have successively signed NBA-level players, including some main players and regular rotation players in the NBA.

As of September 9, the number of NBA players confirmed to play in the new CBA season has reached 20, which is naturally a record in CBA history.

If it weren't for the CBA's restrictions on foreign aid, then this number would undoubtedly be higher.

But it is also these restrictions that make CBA teams have to choose NBA players and choose better players who are more suitable for the team!
This is really a sparrow flying on a branch and turning into a phoenix. Usually, the CBA can sign a guy with an NBA role player level. After all, most players are unwilling to come to China to seek gold, but now they can not only choose NBA players, It's really cool to be able to pick and choose in it, and to be able to reject it!
This is what the general manager of the CBA league hopes to see.

It is certain that after this half month, the reputation and influence of CBA will inevitably reach another level.

It can be said that CBA is really going to the world.

Of course, it's just the first step.

But this is also very good!

Compared with the original CBA being forgotten in the same period and even in the next two years, the current CBA has developed significantly faster!
That is to say, the NBA lockout time is too short. Otherwise, Yi Jianlian will definitely consider upgrading the influence of the CBA. Now, this step is already taking advantage of the NBA lockout, and the CBA can reap the greatest benefits!

If there is any more noise, this alliance will not have a greater impact, so let's just leave it at this moment!

……

The NBA headquarters also officially announced at this time that the teams will cancel the training camp, including the cancellation of all preseason games.

It is conceivable that when the alliance announced these things, their hearts were bleeding. After all, the cancellations were all money!
Not to mention the profits that can be generated by each arena ticket, these are small money, including existing endorsements, upcoming endorsements, and even potential future endorsements, all of which can be converted into money, and Now these are all gone with the suspension of the league!

David Stern has devoted his entire career to promoting the commercialization of the league. Now that the money has finally come, but he has to reject it, you can imagine how bad he is now.

But these did not affect the continuing stalemate between labor and management.

Both sides are very clear that this kind of time is the most difficult time, it depends on which side can bear it first!

If you compromise because of these small losses, it will undoubtedly waste greater benefits.

This has also made the entire negotiation have been at a stalemate, and neither side can find a breakthrough at all.

But at this time, the players union encountered pressure from the players. They really panicked when they saw that the training camp that should have been held as scheduled in previous years had not started!

Of course, these players who put pressure on them are not the superstars of the league, and they are not even considered the main players. They are more of the role players of the league. They need wages to support their families. Survival is a problem, so they panicked.

And their panic also made the players' union no longer a monolith, and their interior began to loosen. This looseness is undoubtedly fatal!

The player representatives in charge of the negotiations had to take the initiative to contact the management representatives for a new round of negotiations.

But at this time, the party who takes the initiative to speak often means that he needs to bow his head.

It is also from this time that the players union is destined to no longer be on the same starting line as the management!
The employers are gradually taking the initiative...

Nearly three months after this labor negotiation, the balance of victory began to tilt to the management.

Of course, these have nothing to do with these guys who are far away in the CBA. At the end of September, they reported to the team one after another, and began to prepare for the warm-up match to welcome the first CBA game of their careers.

The influence of CBA in the country has also grown upward in a class-like manner.

During this period of time, domestic coverage of the CBA league has also increased.

Firstly, this is the strongest session in the history of the CBA. Every team has at least one NBA player, which is destined to enhance the strength and excitement of the CBA.

Secondly, the NBA is still in suspension, and domestic fans have no ball to watch. At this time, vigorously reporting on the CBA can also make these fans pay attention to this domestic league. They are not trying to compete with the NBA for fans. There is no possibility of comparing them together, but they don't need to compete with the NBA for fans. Even if the NBA resumes normal operation in the future, the fans they can attract may still continue to watch the CBA, because the game time of the CBA It does not conflict with the NBA. On the contrary, the time of the CBA is more in line with the schedule of domestic players. At 7:[-] in the evening, either after eating or just after eating, you can just take a look.

And this wave of publicity is also very effective. For a few days, domestic fans were discussing the schedule of the new CBA season, discussing which two teams will meet and what will happen. The chat was intense.

This kind of scene that could only appear in the discussion of NBA teams in the past has finally appeared before the start of the CBA league.

And during this period of time, everyone has gradually become familiar with CBA domestic players, and the names of many young players have also gained recognition.

Everything about the CBA is moving in a very good direction at a very obvious speed.

Yi Jianlian also joined the other players of the Hongyuan team before the start of the training camp. Compared with other NBA players, Yi Jianlian didn't need much time to integrate into the team, because he was familiar with all the main players of this team, and he knew these guys very well. style of play.

In addition, the most important point is that everyone is a Chinese player, so it is convenient to communicate.

Although the current Yi Jianlian has never played with these guys, it is not a big problem to drive these teammates with his current strength.
