Chapter 161 [Interesting things during the lockout]
The crisis of the league's suspension is quite serious.
It has affected the livelihood of countless players, but mainly the middle and lower-level players. After all, they are stars and always have some wealth.
Not to mention those superstars, they are all newly rich. During the lockout period, their endorsements were not affected. Instead, they participated in more commercial activities. They were in a gold-fishing state throughout the summer and made a lot of money.
As for the middle- and lower-level players, especially those at the bottom, they really rely on their wages to support their families, and they really can't bear it.
The shutdown that has lasted for more than a month has not softened the attitudes of labor and management. In the new round of negotiations, both sides doubt each other's sincerity. If this trend develops, it may be more serious than the previous shutdown.
Starting from mid-August, some players went to play overseas, and this trend continued to spread until it became bigger and bigger, sweeping more and more people.
The turmoil now is much greater than in the previous life, and Xia Yin knows that this is also a change he has brought about.
The cake has become bigger, mainly due to the rise of Shain and the representatives of two international players, Dayao and Nowitzki. The league's overseas promotion has been much smoother.
This also makes both labor and management want more, and naturally the differences between the two are even greater and completely irreconcilable.
During the previous lockout, only 70 or 80 players went overseas to play, but now the number has exceeded 100, and many All-Stars and superstars have also gone abroad.
Kobe showed off his offensive skills in that game, which was quite comprehensive. I scored 20 points in the first quarter.
"Ready to board the plane."
Of course, not all players in the league are bound by contracts. After joining the CBA, we have so little capital to negotiate terms, and we don’t have to play for one season before leaving.
I hope his arrival will keep us from changing and improving.〕
Lying under the teahouse, drinking tea and enjoying the cool afternoon.
In the evening, eight people and two bodyguards watched the Asian Games basketball final together. Xiao Yao was also present, but I was just a spectator.
Lisa smiled and said nothing.
Lisa smiled and said, "I am younger than him. I never thought that he would be the one teaching me."
All kinds of news were mixed together, and Xia Yin couldn't read it with interest. It was quite boring.
Because we were traveling all the way, Xia Yin and I were not in disguise. We also hired a mainland security team for this purpose, and I only had an assistant and a lawyer.
The news that Xia Yin saw was not that Kobe Bryant had joined a CBA team and that the game was about to start. Kobe also appeared there, arousing crazy expectations from the fans.
Stars working part-time will also have a negative impact on the CBA market. If they run away in the middle of a game, what will happen next? Local players will have to take the blame for the record and be scolded by the fans.
Of course, if you encounter any trouble, your identity will be exposed, but there is also a smaller possibility of encountering trouble. Xia Yin just wants to have a boring vacation, but I want to encounter these things.
Lisa said, "My playing style has changed very little. While I have the core style of play, I can't drive my teammates. I can often play a little bit with the ball and retreat. Isn't that a bit like one star and seven shots?"
But opponents often receive guidance from Kobe, and when they cool down after a game, there is always a harmonious scene.
Mid-range jump shots, back-turn shots, dunks, layups before breakthroughs, and not a single dunk from behind.
Xia Yin is a different kind, and very ordinary, the same.
"If you win, let's go! It would be even more boring to play there for two days and then go see Kobe Bryant's debut."
"The wig is not enough, it covers up a lot, the skin color has changed a lot, and the eyes are OK, but it is better to wear a mask."
Before that, Kobe had really low standards and strict demands on his teammates. For a while, outside the team became our "hell". Kobe's demands were too normal, and the Mamba glare was too scary.
After that, Xia Ying sent me a message and wanted to come see my first show. Naturally, I was looking for Xia Yin.
The place we went to was not Wuhan, where the Asian Games was being held. At that Asian Games, A Lian led the team. I grew up very slowly in those two years, and I learned a lot from Xia Yin.
"Alian seems to have worked hard. He has made very little progress in just two months. Of course, this is also because the quality of the competition is low."
Without some veterans, they need to maintain their form in competitive games. After all, they are getting younger every year. Once their competitive form is good, they will be eliminated by the slow-paced league.
Thalia raised her head hurriedly, her hair covering her eyes. After a short while, she said, "You eat first, and then you can lose weight after the trip is better. And you are still growing, hehe."
If the league is really suspended for a season, it will be a small loss if the players can't play in a season and can't maintain competitive status, and few players are still in the period of increasing their goals.
There were crazy fans all around, and Xia Yin, the eight of them, wore hats and masks and managed it very well. It was quite harmonious.
I lived very comfortably there.
Seeing whether there was any suspense in the game, Xia Yin also sneaked out with Lisa and Thalia.
Now let go and do whatever you want. Anyway, back to Mi Lijian, there are a few people around you who can play mahjong.
"There are so few people." Thalia's eyes moved around, looking at everything with a curious look.
"Let's get some braised vegetables. I want to eat braised vegetables."
What Lisa said was quite genuine, but after all, it was an exotic place and there was no need to pry. Lisa said, "You are from Western Xinjiang."
"Wow, there are too few people, we are so indifferent."
In addition to making money and expanding their reputation, they also want to maintain competitive status. You know, the training camp was almost over at the end of September in previous years, but now there is no sign of it.
"It's not a bad thing to have money. You can't delay arranging anything. It can comfort you all the way. This is where your confidence comes from."
"OK, Xia Yin, what does he eat?"
Before I won the championship and FMVP that season, I was nominally the number one player in domestic basketball.
We are not yet waiting for Xia Yin's arrival locally, Xia Yin always saves time in danger.
In the last two minutes of the seventh quarter, Allen had not yet scored 35 points, 10 assists and 14 rebounds.
However, when the results of the transaction were finally released, the owners of the other 27 teams gave David Stern a boost before hearing the news.
Did Xia Yin inform Alien and Xiao Yao? Alien wanted to compete because he wanted to influence my state. Xiao Yao didn't want to get involved with me. After all, my goal was too small and I was easily exposed.
Kobe waved his arms to the fans and smiled sadly. He was looking for something, but he just couldn't find the target.
During this year's labor negotiations, when the basketball god faced his predecessors, this was not the face of a veteran capitalist at all.
Paul was very happy, "Damn it, how come you were selected by the Hornets, and now that you are in that situation, they are all targeting you, they are all targeting you, ahhhhhhhhhhhh!"
That's why you were so disgusted when you came out there.
It's not like Xia Yin was around, Jing Keqiao was the obedient boy who was so talkative.
As soon as that incident started to make a fuss, another incident also jumped out.
Xia Yin also carried a small pile of food, and the eight of them finished eating under the car, threw the garbage back into the trash can, and went directly to the arena to watch the game.
I just want to take a bad vacation.
"Want to eat maocai lobster? Or hot pot? Or do you want to order a la carte?"
Sure enough, the Jordanian team, which had a small outburst, was completely helpless in the face of Allen's tossing and turning.
Now in international competitions, I am not a small killer. If you think about next year's Olympic Games, I can take another step back."
Before Xia Yin left there, he went directly to Chengdu, and after all, he agreed to Thalia to see the pandas.
Xia Yin came to Lisa and Thalia's seat, "Is it broken? The horse is about to land."
"What's for dinner?"
So at that Asian Games, there were no problems. Four wins in the group stage meant that we were eliminated and eliminated in the knockout rounds. We had made it all the way to the finals.
Michael Jordan acquired a small stake in the Bobcats in 10 years and became the owner of the team.
In order to prevent the alliance of stars from causing turmoil in the league, we jointly pressured the league to reject the deal. That was a joke.
Next to you, Lisa was watching TV, and Thalia was studying mahjong. You were attracted to it later, but you were still young at this time, so how could Xia Yin let you play that.
"Idol! Ahhhhhh!"
Today's game is not the final. Xia Yin, we are also here to watch the game, and it is more convenient to go anywhere from there.
Well...they are all foodies.
After all, the Lakers have no background, so how did Pau Gasol come to be? Could it be that a small wind blew him?
Xia Yin's trip was still going on, but a small trade proposal suddenly came out from the league.
We went directly to the hotel to settle in. Because we made a late reservation, we didn’t have a car to pick us up arranged by the assistant, so the journey was smooth.
Kobe saw the message before returning to the locker room. If he was determined, he directly replied: [If there is a problem, you will do it.]
Not many players want to play in the CBA because the foreign aid system there is very good. Each team only allows two foreign aids, and replacements are allowed during the season.
When traveling in Europe, there were as few as 30 bodyguards per team. I encountered some troubles during my travels, which was why I was very depressed along the way.
But after all, no team dares to gamble. After all, some players can have very bad effects even if they are brought over to play for a month, such as Kobe Bryant.
"Will you be there next time?" Thalia asked.
Thalia placed the mahjong, "You want to eat the rabbit head."
In the eighth quarter, I still hadn’t scored 60 points, and the opponent hadn’t collapsed yet, so I just sat on the bench and rested.
If a star without a contract comes to sign a contract there, it will not be beneficial to the player. If the NBA starts in the middle of the game, the contracted players must return to the NBA. The CBA team still has ways to recruit foreign players. If that happens, it will affect the record.
But no matter how happy and happy I am, there is a solution. Originally, I thought that if I could go to a small city in Los Angeles to play and team up with Kobe, I might be able to give up the hope of chasing the championship.
"He should eat more sweets. It's difficult for him to gain weight. Look, he hasn't gained 8 pounds in just one month."
After playing there two days ago, I went directly to watch Kobe Bryant's game.
For this reason, that little month was spent like water, but for Xia Yin, it was just a drop in the bucket.
"Kobe! Kobe!"
It directly shattered the aura of the God of Basketball.
"The bad ones will break down when they are half old."
During those few months, I was not satisfied with anything at all. It was not a matter of diet but a rule. It was a little worse in terms of mental and physical aspects. In other countries, this is really hard to say.
"His vision is wrong. The level of competition is high. With that kind of play, I can maintain the team's upper limit and at the same time produce bad data. In addition, the rules of international competitions are different.
But those rules had no impact on Xia Yin and Allen. Allen returned to his old team because Xia Yin had the idea to play in the CBA.
Deng Huade, who downplays passion and has a mad dog spirit, helped the women's basketball team escape from the haze of 2009, which was refreshing. However, Deng Huade did not bring any changes to the Chinese team at the tactical level.
"It's broken, it's broken, let him see if it's okay?"
Thalia was holding an ice cream cone in one hand and an ice cream cone in the other. There was no water bottle on the back of her chest. The outside contained iced drinks. You could hold the straw in your mouth just by raising your head, which was quite easy.
The Lakers are preparing to make an eight-way deal with Mosaic and the Hornets. This is not related to Paul's whereabouts.
"It's so delicious." Thalia can also speak Chinese, but it's often too unfamiliar, but it's relatively standard and she can speak Chinese quickly if there are any problems.
How could I play with peace of mind before being exposed?
That time, it was all up to Allen to take care of things. A few of the players who received Xia Yin's guidance improved enough to avoid bad results. However, in Xia Yin's opinion, a small number of them are not dead yet and have a future.
Come quietly, go quietly.
Xia Yin sent a message to Kobe: "What I did was wrong. I wanted you to be a good person as well as a bad person. I asked my teammates to use tolerant standards, and I couldn't mention my opponents."
After resting in the hotel for half a morning, we went to a local restaurant outside to have an authentic Chinese meal. Xia Yin was satisfied.
Xia Yin commented on how you two were dressed, and I felt the same way about you. A special T-shirt, a pair of narrow and loose pants, a cap and a mask were all you needed.
Xia Yin walked with his bag and said, "Are you going to stay there for a few days before you go to Chengdu? I know he wants to see pandas, so wait a moment."
The Lakers want to get Chris Paul and once again compete for the championship. After all, Kobe is still young and only has a few years to compete.
"A master is a teacher, so he has to pay attention to those things. In today's game, I could score eight pairs at most."
Eat, drink, have fun and enjoy the scenery. Staying in Chengdu for half a month can be regarded as a lot of enjoyment for you.
Lisa also ignored you and ate her smoothie with peace of mind. You also held a portion of ice powder in your hand.
To break the doubt directly, after all, I am fluent in special words.
But now, everything is shattered.
The game was so normal that Kobe suddenly woke up and looked like a 34-year-old veteran.
Lisa opened the door, and the first-person cabin treatment was very bad, let alone the normal version.
Because once that deal is reached, the chain reaction will inevitably cause a minor reshuffle in the Western Conference.
"It's bad."
However, after all, the paper bag is a fire, and I guess it will take a long time for the news of my coming to China to come out, but at least it will be followed and reported by the media, which will be very profitable.
