NBA restricted area bulldozer

Chapter 659 Stern's Call

Greenville was very lively on the 27th.

However, everyone thought this was the climax, and the real peak of the flow of people was the next two days, making the Greenville base camp instantly the main battlefield for the labor force. Senseless.

Although he is also a serious member of the labor force in labor negotiations, the problem is...he doesn't understand the operation of everyone rushing to a small place like Greenville, and the news reports in recent days have changed from The sports page jumped to the national current affairs page, exaggerating to the point that there was a live TV interview outside the base camp.

"While the NBA's labor negotiations are in progress..."

"A large number of league players gather in Greenville! "

"The 4-month negotiations have made no progress, and the fourth round of negotiations will be held on the 31st of this month!" "

"Unregistered Illegal Parade?What is the significance of the location of the meeting in Greenville? "

"What kind of role does Li Shengli, the superstar of the league and the host of the grid city, play? Recently, it was revealed that... Li Shengli may be the organizer and leader of this rally!" "

……

Recently, gossip from the NBA league has spread to the outside world, and Li Shengli watched TV and newspapers, only feeling... people are sitting at home, and the pot comes from the sky.

leader?

I can still lead this thing while riding a horse?

I didn't even have time to say a word!

Li Shengli would be eager to get Ewing out, because after all, Ewing is still the chairman of the union, and this time a large army of players arrived in Greenville. He 1 did not believe it.

Take the '94 lockout as an example.

At that time, everyone was in solidarity with the trade unions, and they just needed to speak out. Specifically, the trade unions presided over the negotiations.

But now... I am obviously not the management of the players union, and no one pays the salary, but I want to worry about the chairman of the union, and let the chairman Ewing come here happily, making it like a vacation?

In fact, Ewing arrived on the morning of the 27th and returned to New York on the evening of the 27th.

As for why he made the trip in vain for no apparent reason, it was actually a signal to the outside world and to the players of the entire league, and the reason why he returned to New York on the night of the 27th was because negotiations were taking place in New York.

Ewing, as the chairman of the labor union, naturally had to participate in the negotiations.

It just so happens that the rally here in Greenville was the bargaining chip and confidence for the fourth round of negotiations that lasted 4 months. There are a lot of employers who will go on strike if they don’t let go, and the players’ strike is an official lockout. Basically, the players have no wages and the team has no money. In a two-lose situation where you still lose money, it depends on which side can't hold it first.

……

On the night of the 29th...

The Greenville base camp was full of traffic during the day and brightly lit at night. Most of the people went to the urban area to handle their own board and lodging, while a small number of people entered the base camp.

To be honest, everyone was here, and Li Shengli was not so stingy that he wouldn't let everyone in.

Of course, this is also selective. Basically, each team will let one or two people in. After all, even the renovated base camp is not a hotel, and there is no way to allow too many people to stay overnight, and almost everyone means to wait. Continue to support the negotiations in New York until a phased result is obtained.

In fact, the reason why this movement is so big.

It is not ruled out that there is a reason why Jordan came off the field in person and arrived in Greenville, and this will... Li Shengli failed to meet Jordan after the finals, so taking advantage of this opportunity, the two sat together, and even Li Shengli Several bottles of wine that Thompson treasured were also found out, and the spoils were divided on the spot.

"Damn it, you got lucky again!" Jordan took a sip of Thompson's wine, and cursed when he arrived.

"Damn, look at our lineup, and I'll ask you... what is fluke, how did we lose?" Li Shengli rolled his eyes and continued: "Actually, what I want to ask most is whether you will play next season, because I I've been hearing about..."

Still fighting?

I hit a hammer on my horse! Me!

Jordan glanced at Li Shengli with a livid face and said: "I originally wanted to win this championship and have a perfect curtain call, but you little bastard is too troublesome and messed up my plan!"

"It's okay, and I'm not just representing myself on the court."

"Come on, I didn't say I needed you to let me go." Jordan pouted, "It's no exaggeration to say that you only won against me at the age of 35, which is nothing to be proud of, and you... will never win against me at the age of 30." .”

"30 years old?"

"That's right!"

"That was the 93 finals, right?"

"Yes!"

"But... it seems... I also won the championship that year."

you……

you ride a horse...

Horse riding, bastard, you!

Jordan broke down in a way his career never imagined would happen one day.

"No, brother, look, if you retire now, don't you have a chance?"

"But you are obviously still able to play now, you are still No.1 in the league, continue to play for another two years."

"So are you persuading me to stay? Have you ever persuaded someone like this?"

Jordan really lost his temper, and said slowly: "Originally, I planned it this way, but this negotiation...my contract of 3000 million for the past two years is very sensitive, and the media even attacked me for destroying the salary balance of the league. Mom Yeah, seriously, I probably made more than that if I wasn't playing."

"one more……"

"One more thing?" Li Shengli asked, "Is Pippen going to sign a new contract?"

"Yes, his previous contract made him lose a lot, and the offer negotiated with the management this time has many impacts, which may compress the team's salary space, and then it will be difficult to reinforce it, and there is no need for it. Find a way to find a center who can play against you, and even Shaq can't solve it."

Bulls still want to reinforce the center? !

Li Shengli can understand the Bulls' plight. After all, the entire league is engaged in an "arms race" inside. It is terrible to match Jordan with a strong center, but the terrible price is... Maybe the Bulls will give up the option of Pippen.

"Center? Why don't you wait for two years and I'll have someone to recommend to you."

"Wait two years...why wait two years, are you planning to give up Ben Wallace?"

"It's not Daben, you just say you can't wait, it must be reliable, trust me!"

"Then let's talk about it when we come!" Jordan waved his hands in disbelief, his face darkened, and continued: "But since you give me such consideration, then... I also recommend someone to you?"

"Why? Our manpower is about the same. If there are no accidents, there is no need to sign in. Next season will be ours, and if you really have a good partner, you can find it yourself." Li Shengli asked Jordan Clink glasses, don't understand Jordan's thoughts.

"Cough...he is more suitable for you!"

"Of course, the premise is that he himself has to agree. In addition, if there are no accidents, next season I won't..." Jordan hadn't finished speaking when Li Shengli's cell phone rang, interrupting his speech. .

Who is still calling at this hour?

Li Shengli thought it was Thompson who discovered that his own hidden wine had been touched.

"Who?"

"Quick, this wine... drank it all, and Thompson won't find out after drinking it."

"Damn, this is Thompson's wine, you are on the horse... Please, buy me someone else's wine? Are you going to pick it up!"

"What are you talking about? That's my teacher, and I bought this wine for his old man. I have to give it to him during the holidays. If I don't give it to me, I will lose my temper. I just drank a bottle of him. What a big deal. .”

"you……"

Before Jordan could say anything more, the phone rang again, and Li Shengli pinched him again. He hurriedly destroyed the crime scene and destroyed the criminal evidence, but before he could catch his breath, the phone rang again, as if he was in a hurry.

"I feel so sorry for Thompson for having a student like you!"

"Damn, you're still talking about me while drinking my wine? I'm living a miserable life!"

"Get out, answer the phone!"

"Okay, hide what you can't drink, don't be discovered by old Turner, he also likes to touch Thompson's wine!"

What the fuck?

What kind of people are you guys here?

The people in Jordan were dumbfounded, and cursed: "Hurry up and answer the phone, I'm so tired of listening."

"Damn!!" Li Shengli cursed at first glance.

"Why, not Thompson?"

"No, it's Stern!!"
