Start hanging from getting the Dayao template

Chapter 113 Jordan went to the Knicks?
Under the strong request of many bosses, the NBA officially adopted many changes.

There are quite a few newly adopted rules.

There are small changes such as the 5-second penalty rule for serving, the 24-second watch return rule, and the ball bouncing twice above the backboard is equal to out of bounds.

In addition, there are three clauses that attract the most attention.

One is the early renewal rule change.

When a player's contract has a total term of at least 3 years, he can renew his contract with the team in advance in the second year of the contract.

The other is the one-time clause, the unlimited contract clause.

The unlimited contract clause means that after the start of the free market in the summer of 1996, the first contract signed by each team can use this clause.

This contract ignores the salary cap, bird rights, and salary clauses, and can pay any salary.

That's an out-of-the-cap contract.

After the announcement of this clause, it caused a shock in the NBA.

Although the NBA has been discussing this since the end of the All-Star Game.

But I didn't expect that the unlimited contract clause would really be passed.

There are rumors that the owner of the Knicks tempted the teams by increasing the number of live broadcasts.

After paying a large amount of broadcasting fees, the birth of this clause was promoted.

It seems that a lot of costs have been paid, but in fact the broadcast fee is divided according to the live broadcast revenue.

'Splitting' means that broadcasting those unpopular games does not make money.

Popular games earn no less.

Unpopular games would have been unprofitable.

You can't lose much at all.

But on the bright side, this is not the case. Many people think that James Dolan has suffered a blood loss, and it is completely thankless behavior.

But no matter how the outside world sprays it, it will not affect the passage of this clause.

It doesn't affect the Knicks' use of it to make a fuss.

After the free market opened, the Knicks directly offered Bulls superstar Michael Jordan a one-year $3000 million contract, and also gave the Trail Blazers an offer.

If willing, the Knicks are also happy to provide Malone with $3000 million a year.

In the season that just ended, the total salary of the championship team Trail Blazers was only 2300 million+ US dollars.

The Bulls are about the same as the Trail Blazers
crazy!

This is the first thought of many people.

But no one doubted that James Dolan would really do this.

It's just that Ma Long, a Chinese native who has only been playing for a year, can earn 3000 million?
Many people are jealous, why should a foreigner? !

There have also been more quarrels surrounding Malone.

In the Knicks' view, Malone is worth the price, even if the third rule appears to be aimed at Malone.

Yes, the third rule has to do with Malone.

Defensive three-second violation.

The meaning of this rule is that if the defensive player is in the three-second zone for three consecutive seconds, there is no opposing player within an arm's length of the defensive player, and he does not leave the three-second zone before the three-second mark, he will be called a defensive three-second violation. The offensive team will get a free throw and continue to have possession of the ball.

With the introduction of this rule, NBA defense will be greatly affected, no less than the shortening of the three-point line.

Although the reason is not clearly stated, as long as fans who pay attention to the NBA know that this rule refers directly to the two-tower combination of the Trail Blazers!

Ma Long also finally knew why he made the headlines, once, "Brother is not in North America, but there are legends about him in North America".
After Ma Long received the news, his heart was like ten thousand alpacas passing by.

He never imagined that the defensive 3 seconds would come out so many years earlier.

What's the matter, didn't he, Uncle Ma, just win the championship once, beat the Bulls and Jordan 4-1, and single-handedly created a shame in NBA history with 71 wins and runner-ups!
As for the introduction of rules to restrict him so soon? !

He, an ordinary second-year rookie who averaged 28+10 per game, has such a big roster?

It doesn't matter if the Trail Blazers only have Malone.

But in addition to Malone, the Trail Blazers also have Sabonis.

Although Sabonis is old, his competitive state is relatively average, and he can only play an average of about 20 minutes in a game.

But in the 20 minutes of playing, the inside line formed by him and Malone, even the Bulls' historical impact combination could not rush into the paint!

No one expected this before the season.

A season is over, and the invincible Bulls in the regular season are all beaten like that.

The Trail Blazers added Barkley next season.

There is also Dominique Wilkins, who is not in good or bad form.

The Trail Blazers lineup looks as strong as BUG, ​​so how can they survive?
After the start of the season, directly give the championship to the Trail Blazers!

David Stern does not rule out consecutive championships.

He has the data in hand, and when the popularity of the NBA reached its peak, it happened to be the period of several consecutive championship dynasties.

The Blazers have the ability and he won't say no.

But too many team owners protested, and the Trail Blazers' twin towers are indeed too strong in the paint area. If you don't limit it, the viewing will be affected, so you have to make some changes.

Overseas markets are very popular, but the NBA is a sports league in North America after all, so we have to be optimistic about the local market first.
Malone didn't know what David Stern was thinking, but he felt quite distressed.

What about the good flow?
He, Uncle Ma, doesn’t say that NBA traffic is the first, but in the new generation, it is not a problem to say that it is the strongest traffic.

In this case, shouldn't it be that if he fails to make a goal and sticks to the opponent, then give him a whistle to send him to the free throw line?

Shouldn't it be that you can't beat the opponent and stretch your foot over when the opponent is shooting, and get an FMVP all the way?

Shouldn't it be that he rushed to the basket and found that the ball was blocked when he got up, so he could take a few more steps and run out of position before shooting?
Anyway, it shouldn't be out of the rules, right? !
"It's not good to be too strong."

Ma Long complained for a while, calmed down, and muttered: "Looking at it better, this can be regarded as a card."

"Those fake superstars have to be promoted, only real giants like me will introduce rules and restrictions."

"This card face, who else?!"

"The old rascal is just selling the first bid!"

"It doesn't affect me much anyway."

He calmed down so quickly, but thinking about it didn't affect him much.
Although Malone's size looks like he likes to squat under the basket and not come out, in fact, in the Trail Blazers' defensive system, Malone is responsible for going out to sweep and supplement defense.

His lateral speed and agility won't affect a defense for three seconds.

Only Sabonis would sit in the paint for 20 seconds without coming out.

To be honest, the influence on Mutombo, Campbell, Ostertag and O'Neill is much greater than him.

The strength of the team's frame protection will definitely not be as high as last season, but with Sabonis' experience and sophistication, coupled with Malone's characteristics, it will not be much worse.

David Stern probably also judged this, so he passed this rule so simply to appease other team owners.

In fact, Ma Long also thought about whether there would be rules to restrict him.

This time strengthening flexibility, in addition to being the most cost-effective, there is also a little bit of prevention.

It really happened now, and it was unexpected and reasonable. The strengthening has also been strengthened. Malone thinks he is ready to deal with it, and it will make those who are ready to watch jokes look good in the new season.

But Malone really didn't expect the Knicks' 3000 million contract.

But for this matter, just watch the excitement.

Malone then put the matter behind him and started eating melons.

Just when the NBA announced the new rules, the Magic's annual big drama, Bizarre Script Shark. Bah, is "Do you think O'Neal is worth [-] million?" "

The Orlando Sentinel launched a poll.

A referendum was launched in fast food restaurants, on the street, in sporting goods stores, and even in sex stores.

The name of the referendum is "Do you think O'Neill is worth [-] million?" "

It turns out that in history, the results of the referendum published by Orlando's "Sentinel" were that 91% of Orlando people believed that O'Neill was not worth [-] million.

As a big center who is recognized as the favorite to squat in the paint, O'Neal may have been affected by the defensive three seconds this time, a strong increase of 4 percentage points!

It can be called a flower in the stock market!

Malone guessed that when O'Neill got this result, he was so angry that he wanted to hit someone.

For a star, this is extremely hurtful and humiliating.

If he went to the Lakers, it is not surprising that O'Neal would beat the Magic to death and let the Orlando people sing "Orlando Don't Cry For Me" on the spot

After receiving the news from the NBA, Malone put North America aside and continued training, while also remotely controlling the progress of his own factory.

Just when Malone was keeping a low profile, the impact of the NBA's rule changes finally began to take hold.

After the unlimited contract clause came into effect, on the evening of July 7, Mourning renewed his contract with the Heat for $3 million in seven years.

Immediately afterwards, Juwan Howard also renewed his contract with the Washington Bullets for $7 million in seven years.

Mourning has the bird rights, and the unlimited renewal clause was not used, but Juwan Howard used it.

Juwan Howard, who is only two years old, used the unlimited renewal clause and completed the super cap renewal!
So far, 'Mr. Billion' has become Juwan Howard's nickname.

Many people's first reaction is: why?
You, the 94th pick in the first round of the 5 draft, averaged 22.1 points, 8.1 rebounds and 4.4 assists per game. Why did you get a contract of [-] million yuan, while the No. [-] and No. [-] picks were still tens of millions?

what?
It was Big Dog (No. [-]) and Kidd (No. [-]) who had a fight last year to sign a big contract, so they can't use the unlimited renewal clause this year?
That's okay
That is to say, the contract looks pretty good, otherwise Big Dog and Kidd will probably become a joke like Pippen.

After Mr. Billion, another big news appeared in the NBA.

The Bulls announced that there was a serious disagreement with Michael Jordan on the contract extension!

Although the Bulls became second in the league in attendance because of Michael Jordan's comeback, after the Finals, Forbes announced the top three NBA team revenue and profit rankings were the Knicks, Lakers, and Bulls, who earned $5539 million a year by relying on Jordan.

But Bulls general manager Jerry Krause still doesn't think Michael Jordan is worth 3000 million a year.

There is nothing wrong with the reason, because you Jordan lost the finals.

If you give 3000 million a year, what if you can't strengthen next year and lose to the Trail Blazers?
Profits will definitely decline by then.

The profits are all given to you Jordan, so are you working for the boss, or is the boss working for you?

As soon as Jerry Krause said this, Michael Jordan, who was still in Las Vegas at the time, scolded Jerry Krause in public as a piece of shit.

The old gangster also performed a rap, which is said to be quite exciting.

It may be that I feel humiliated, it may be that the Knicks' 3000 million a year is too sweet, or it may be that I was scared by the twin towers of Malone and Sabonis in the finals
The next day Michael Jordan announced that he was in contact with the Knicks, and the possibility of reaching a cooperation is very high!
The news just came out, and Malone, who was still eating melons from the Magic, was dumbfounded.

Jordan is not with the Bulls anymore?
Are you going to join forces with the Knicks and Ewing?
What the hell! ! !

Malone was taken aback.

Really didn't expect this change.

He finally understood what the butterfly effect is.

Even if a small butterfly can bring so many chain reactions, the impact of his big butterfly weighing more than 100 kilograms is countless times greater.

Because it is easy to win the championship, the league introduced restrictions, and O'Neal was even more disgusted by lying innocently.

The Bulls who lost the championship are not optimistic about Jordan, and then Jordan and the Knicks are on good terms.
It turns out that the historical Bulls just gritted their teeth and matched Jordan's 3000 million a year with the Knicks.

Now that there is no championship, the stingy boss and general manager are absolutely unwilling.

Ma Long stroked it, and found that all the changes were quite reasonable!
"But the change is too outrageous!"

Malone has a toothache.

I used to laugh at Jordan for not cooperating with super insiders, but now I slapped him in the face.

Although Ewing has no sense of presence among the four major centers, it feels like he has always made up the numbers.

But the strength is really no problem, a 100% super center.

With Rodman and Jordan, you can win 72 wins. If your partner Ewing doesn't directly spiral to heaven!
"I still feel stable next season, but now it's really unstable."

Ma Long felt a bit pained and felt a sense of crisis, but there was nothing he could do.

reinforcement?

The team is rich, but after the 4-year 3000 million contract extension with 'Little Beetle' Tim Hardaway, the space is almost exhausted.

Trading is possible, just learn how the Knicks play.

The trade between the Knicks and Jordan set a good example, and Paul Allen has already said that he will do it again.

O'Neal is the only one suitable on the market, but O'Neal is already determined to go to Los Angeles.

Even if you are tax-free in Portland and the contract you give is bigger than the Lakers, it won't change the Sharks' mind.

Big Shark has plans of his own.

He looked at five big and three thick, but in fact the big man had great wisdom. He had already read a bachelor's degree in business and was still studying for a master's degree in business administration at the University of Phoenix.

After he retires in the future, he will receive a Ph.D. in Organizational Learning and Leadership from Barry University.

A real Ph. D., so to speak, an elite black man.

In O'Neill's view, going to Portland is to be a green leaf for Malone.

He has been green enough in Orlando, and he is going to be the boss of the Lakers.

In addition to this, the place of Los Angeles can also allow him to reap more off-court income, and the commercial value will greatly increase.

This is not available when the green leaves are in Portland.

If O'Neill doesn't come, everyone else who is interested will have to exchange chips.

Everyone in the team is important and cannot be traded easily.

All in all it's not going well.

Alan Houston is a good player.
Originally, because of the bird rights, the Pistons took the initiative to renew the contract.

But now that there is an unlimited renewal clause, Alan Houston's agent wants a bigger contract, and there are differences in negotiations with the Pistons.

It turns out that in history, the Knicks were finally chosen because they were given a five-year contract worth $5 million.

Now that the Knicks have chosen Jordan, it's hard to say whether they will choose Alan Houston again.

But after thinking about it, Malone felt that Alan Houston was not suitable.

Alan Houston is good and fits his style of play, but Hawkins is a better fit for the Trail Blazers.

And 5 million in five years will also affect the salary structure in the team.

Tim Hardaway is very kind. When various big contracts came out, the team did not require the team to use the unlimited renewal clause, and accepted 4 million for 3000 years.

If you turn around and sign with Alan Houston, who is not as good as him, the impact will be bad.

"But we don't want to, and we can't let the Knicks succeed."

After Malone made a phone call to Bob, he continued to focus on training.

At the end of July, the final 7-man roster was released, and Ma Long flew to Atlanta with the national team to participate in the Olympic Games for the first time in his life.

　Thanks to '2424 Niuniu' for the reward of 1500 points, for the reward of 'Don't cry for fear of parting' for the reward of 1000 points, and for the reward of 'Looking back and forgetting' for the reward of 500 points.

　　Just my own deduction.

　　If the NBA text does not deduce, it will be less fun.
