NBA Absolute Flood Dam

Chapter 1370 The hearts of the bosses are cold

At 6 pm on June 12, the NBA Board of Directors convened as scheduled.

Stern looked at these bosses coldly and said:

"I'm so sorry gentlemen that all of our broadcast contract negotiations were unilaterally terminated because you chose the little niggles that Nike gave you, because you chose to suppress the hammer, because you chose parochialism, and because you chose conservatism. Yes, we have been abandoned by the broadcaster!"

"what?"

"what happened?"

"With our high ratings, are the broadcasters crazy?"

This news, like a bomb, made all the bosses dizzy.

Stern looked at Old Bath and sneered in his heart.

The old Bass is still calm, because the Lakers signed a billion-dollar regional broadcast contract with Warner last year, which is also his decision to support Nike.

Moreover, Los Angeles is dominated by the Lakers. There are no strong competitors there. The NFL does not have a team there. The Lakers' ball market is guaranteed.

At this time, Stern said: "Congratulations, Jerry, your Lakers have a big contract in hand, unlike other teams, there is no broadcaster's favor, after the Hammers leave, their team should fall into a loss again , and your Lakers won't."

Old Bath's complexion changed, is this putting me on fire?

He saw the eyes of other team owners staring at them, and quickly said: "No, David, our contract is also to be distributed to the league, and everyone has a share."

"But the Lakers take the lead." Spurs owner Holt said coldly.

He is not on Nike's side, and he is also one of the bosses who opposed the introduction of relevant rules this time. If Li Ba leaves, he and the Spurs will suffer the most. The long-awaited huge broadcast contract has no hope. Now they have all the intentions of killing old Bass and these guys.

"We have to re-establish the rules, equal distribution of broadcast contracts for all teams." Mavericks boss Mark Cuban shouted.

He is also a person who opposes the introduction of restricted defense rules. He is not short of Nike's money. He has a different mind from Old Buss. Opportunity, but he didn't have the idea.

With Nowitzki's decline, he knows that the Mavericks have little chance to win the championship in recent years, so the rules that restrict defense have no effect on the Mavericks, and the Mavericks have no chance anyway.

But as soon as his words came out, the old Buss was anxious, the owner of the Heat was anxious, and the owner of the Knicks, Dolan, was also anxious.

However, there was a phenomenon that made these bosses even more anxious. They supported the team bosses who restricted the defensive rules, and they even supported Cuban at this time.

"This can't be done..." Old Bass said hastily.

But his words were immediately interrupted by the boss of the Wizards. He said: "I think this is more fair. Without teams like us, just rely on your big city teams and play yourself?"

Next, those team owners who stood with Nike all turned their backs and demanded an equal share of the regional broadcasting contracts of the big teams of the Lakers.

Several people in Old Bath were dumbfounded, they did not expect this to happen.

But in fact, they knew in their hearts that everything was driven by interests.

At this time, Stern said: "Who else supports the introduction of rules that limit defense?"

All the bosses who supported the introduction of the rules looked at each other, and no one said a word.

But they didn't talk, someone wanted to talk, and Cuban shouted again: "I support it. If Nike doesn't give me money, I also support it."

"NONO, Mark, don't say that, no one will support that rule, we need a new broadcast contract." Heat boss Micky Arison hurriedly stopped.

In his opinion, compared to the tens of billions of dollars in broadcasting contracts, Nike's benefits are nothing?Even the championship is just a fart.

"Go and ask Hammer, please don't leave." At this moment, a voice sounded, it was Jordan.

"We don't support restricted defensive rules now, and he certainly won't..." Old Bass said, but before he finished speaking, he closed his mouth and couldn't continue.

Because at this time he thought of Li Ba's identity, he was a billionaire ranked among the top [-] in the world, his net worth was many times higher than his, and as Apple's stock price continued to soar, his net worth was also soaring, such a person How to do things is not something he can control and guess at all.

"Michael, did Hammer say anything to you?" Knicks owner Dolan asked hastily.

Jordan shrugged his shoulders and said coldly: "I did talk to him about some things, and I can tell you with certainty now that you will lose a lot of money from now on, which is ten times or a hundred times more than what you got from Nike." , or even a thousand times, there will be no huge broadcast contracts waiting for you."

He himself is the top brand of Nike, but he has not come forward in this matter, and he has not supported the introduction of restricted defensive rules, because he knows very well that he cannot do that.

Not because of his personal relationship with Li Ba, but because he knows Li Ba's character very well, and he will not ignore Li Ba's status as a billionaire, let alone forget that Li Ba retired twice like him. Li Ba will not bow his head.

"That's a guy who keeps his chin up at all times. His wealth is enough to buy the entire NBA league, but you are trying to suppress him with rules, and at the same time want him to stay here to make money for you. You still have brain?"

Only Jordan's roar remained in the audience.

"Someone must pay for the losses caused by this, and someone must be responsible for our losses." He finally said.

"I support Michael's words." Cuban jumped out immediately.

In addition to him, many bosses immediately expressed their support for Jordan, which made the old Buss and Dolan turn pale.

"Michael, even... even if we don't introduce rules, will the hammer leave?" Old Buss, who was already sweating on his forehead, asked.

Jordan squinted at Old Bass, and after exhaling a smoke ring, he said, "He told me himself that he's tired of this place. There's nothing but conspiracy here, and he won't play with you anymore."

Old Bus sighed, and leaned weakly on the back of the chair.

As the owner of the Lakers, his net worth is actually not much. The Lakers are the main assets of the family. Now not only can they not get new huge broadcast contracts, but these teams have to carve up the Lakers' multi-billion dollar regional broadcast contracts. Make him very hurt.

Dolan asked Stern at this time: "David, if Hammer leaves, how much do you think our new broadcast contract will get?"

Stern glanced at Dolan indifferently, and said, "It won't exceed $200 billion. Even, it won't exceed $150 billion."

"so little?"

Dolan shook his hand, and all the cigars he was holding fell on the table.
