Chapter 755: The countryside surrounds the city
The Thunder and Pacers deal was reported to the Alliance Office and passed, but the NBA management still caused huge controversy.
This transaction is completely in line with the rules in terms of contract amount, but anyone with discerning eyes knows that the transactions between the two parties are extremely unequal.
Li Liang is already the best player in the league and the king of the finals. As a result, the Thunder exchanged for one Ibaka and two draft picks?
Although this kind of unfair transaction is not uncommon in history, it is considered a relished remarkable program - robbery.
The problem is that Li Liang is not a robbery issue, but a feeling of teasing the rules of the alliance and management.
Starting from David Stern, the NBA has formulated various complex regulations, from draft to signing, from trading to free market, for two words - checks and balances.
Use draft draws to prevent the bottom line from falling apart and make the league team's record balanced.
Use the salary cap to prevent some wealthy families from dominating the world and achieve a balanced competition in the alliance.
Use various trading rules and terms to maintain market order, and try to make each team have their own signature and have the opportunity to rise. In order to balance the competition, it will take 30 years to Hedong and 30 years to Hexi.
Now, Li Liang is completely confused by the league, becoming three years Li Liang and three years Bruce Li.
There are some wandering players, like Jim Jackson, who have basically collected all the rainbows.
Even if the top stars, like O'Neal, went to many teams, and Moses Malone, they were all in the late stages of their careers, and they just shot and changed places to exert their remaining heat.
But Bruce Lee is already the best player in the league! What does it mean to change home every year?
Well, at the beginning, no one expected that a second-round pick could perform like this, which was a miracle.
Now this miracle is jumping up and down the entire league, and east and west jumping left and right.
One direct impact of Li Liang's behavior is that the attractiveness of other top players is declining.
Anyway, if you wait for another one year or two, you will have the chance to get Bruce Lee. Why do you have to spend a lot of effort to hire those maximum-paid players?
Moreover, these so-called top stars can't beat Li Liang at all, and the price of Li Liang is more fair.
So this year, there are no super contracts in the free market, and the renewal of each team is lowering the price.
Love continues to leave, don’t think the money is too low? Look at Bruce Lee next door. If it doesn’t work, look at the VP Curry opposite, which is million a year.
NBA formulates various rules with the purpose of checks and balances, and the basis for achieving this goal is that "no one will be unable to get along with money."
The same contract was signed, and the mother team had the right to bird, and the contract was one year long, with a total amount of tens of millions of dollars.
That's tens of millions of dollars, not a few thousand dollars. No matter how you want to win, people have to make money.
Not only do stars have to make money, but also revolve around stars’ agents, family members, and friends. No one will be unable to get along with the money.
Putting aside the so-called emotional factors, money alone, most people will follow the guidance of the rules to complete the signing contract and achieve balance.
Li Liang is very good. He doesn’t care about money at all. The tractor at home is sold in North America.
Agent? The agent is his wife. Your money is mine, and my money is still mine.
Good friend? Under the training of Li Liang, the first news dealer in the league, a Twitter of tens of thousands of dollars, and he relied on Li Liang's change of the family to attract traffic.
You, Li Liang, are not short of money, but many players are short of money. Some stars complain in private, especially some agents, who complain to the league office that Bruce Lee's behavior has affected the players' expected income.
However, this sound does not have much impact, and the reason is very simple, because the influence of the top stars is all affected.
Most players at the middle class, or even stronger, benefit from the All-Star margin.
The team is willing to open a contract for them to work hard to build the team's structure and be prepared to knock on the door one day for happiness.
These people are actually the backbone of the league. Top players earn tens of millions less, and they still have tens of millions. The backbone players may earn tens of millions in this life, so except for top stars, ordinary players do not dislike Li Liang.
On the contrary, many people say, "Bruce Lee changed this uneven alliance between the rich and the poor, making the alliance more vibrant."
In short, all kinds of voices were passed back and forth between the top leaders of the league, and President Adam Silva had a headache. Why did I meet such a person when I took office?
After passing the trading plan between Thunder and Pacers, Silva held a meeting on the axe to discuss issues related to Li Liang's contract and transactions.
He hoped to come up with a rule to limit Li Liang, but he could not find a suitable reason at all.
Because most rules are encouraging and guide players to make choices, and they cannot force players to accept certain choices.
In the United States, which emphasizes "freedom", where a player plays is fundamentally determined by his own wishes.
So even if he has a contract, he can still ask for a transaction.
Now all Li Liang's behavior is completed within the rules. If you really want to change the rules, you may have to destroy this freedom.
To be honest, Xiao Hua couldn't afford this crime.
Li Liang has been labeled as "racial discrimination" in the season, which makes him unable to get out of Taiwan.
If this time, if you "hinder personal freedom", then you will be overthrown and the two most taboo political correctives in the United States will be violated, then Xiao Hua will be truly a talented person.
And Xiao Hua is sure that Li Liang will make a fuss about "freedom". This person is too difficult to deal with and too difficult to deal with.
Sometimes he would think, just follow it and make him the number one person in the league, and never come after him. Wouldn't it be beautiful?
Besides, his current achievements are unprecedented. He has three teams, three championships, and three FVPs in three years, and it is also the third year of entering the league.
So, this meeting lasted for a long time and there was no result.
Later, Xiao Hua had no choice but to ask Stern, who gave him an explanation
"Cherish what you have, make good use of what you can use, and don't blindly pursue illusory things."
Stern is a Jew, a lawyer and a pragmatist. In fact, he teaches Xiao Hua to be down-to-earth and not to always think about making a fuss about making a name for himself. The NBA is developing well now, and cannot change for the sake of change, and cannot use a knife against the best players in the league.
Whether he is an American or a Chinese.
Although Stern has retired, he has been paying close attention to the trends of the alliance. He goes to the office to work, receive consultations, and process some documents every day.
But since he stepped down, he would completely hide behind the scenes and would never appear in front of the stage to steal Xiao Hua's limelight.
From this point of view, it is noble and upright.
And he was very insightful about Xiao Hua's advice, but he didn't know if the bald man listened.
...
On the other hand, Li Liang ended his Indiana career. When he left the city, he saw many signs on the streets, on the highways, and next to the gymnasium, with advertisement banners that read "thanks �
The last person to enjoy this treatment was Reggie Miller, who devoted his years of career in Indiana, but unfortunately he did not win a championship.
Li Liang took a year to get what Miller didn't get, and he deserved this thank you.
Such treatment will not be available in Los Angeles. Although the Clippers won the championship for the first time, there is no way for Los Angeles to have another Lakers.
And how expensive are billboards in Los Angeles?
Therefore, Li Liang felt that this might be the biggest gain for him when he chose the poverty alleviation path. He left the big city and went to the countryside, gave up his senses and joy, and gained all his heart.
Seeing these sincere thanks, Li Liang couldn't help but shed tears.
When he took a plane to Ocheng, got off the car, left the airport and entered the city, tears fell again.
It was indeed smaller and more broken than Indianapolis. I didn’t think it was when I came to the competition before, so I got off the plane and went to the hotel, went to the game and left.
Now I am taking a bus in the city and wanting to live here, this feeling is different.
In addition to the core area, the entire city radiates to the entire 18th-tier county town.
A total of 500,000 people are in total. In China, Shishan Town, Foshan, the largest town, has a population of more than 600,000.
This city of Russia is only one big town in China, so it is actually a big countryside.
Li Liang sighed and thought to himself that the strategy of surrounding the city in the countryside seems to be going to continue to be implemented.
