Coach Lee

Chapter 293

Time flies, November has passed for a long time, December is also at the end of the month, and Christmas is coming soon.

The turmoil between labor and management continues.

In early July,

Some team owners even accused Jordan of having too much salary, which affected the salary cap.

But Jordan stood up and said angrily: "If you have no money, you can sell your team!"

Many Jordan fans stood by Jordan, angry at the management.

Shortly thereafter, the NBA officially announced: Cancel this year's All-Star Game!

In the daytime before Christmas Eve, the NBA officially announced: January 1th is the deadline, if the agreement is not signed, then this season will be cancelled!

David Stern's attitude is very tough!

Since you are red-eyed gamblers, I have no choice but to be an equally crazy banker.

Neither employer nor labor compromised.However, the pressure is coming!

Do you still want this season?Is this money still earned?
……

On the 25th, Christmas Day, the major movie theaters were very lively.

A movie called "Uncle Drew" is quite popular.

This movie tells the story of Uncle Drew.

Uncle Drew owns a basketball team named "Blue Brothers". This team used to be a famous team in Rock Park, a streetball mecca in New York, but gradually withdrew from the arena as he grew older.Uncle Drew will lead the old guys back on the court and face off against opponents who are much younger than him.

The last group of older basketball players breaks the rules and participates in a Rock Street basketball game, where they rampage other young brats.

In the movie tidbits, everyone knows that the five Uncle Drew are Iverson, Kobe, McGrady, Carter, and New York streetball king Alston.

And Uncle Drew's four teammates are the domineering three-pointer Reggie Miller, Webber who is good at mid-range shots with high wrists and straight arms, the giant O'Neal who is unrivaled in the world, and streetball who is proficient in streetball skills. King Alston!
There are also many new and old star players participating in the film. The three old NBC commentators Matt-Gaucas, Bill Wharton, Matt-Gaucas, Iceman George Gervin, Coleman, Nash, Nowitzki.
However, who is Uncle Drew?The movie just wasn't announced.In the cast list, the actor wrote Uncle Drew!

This also sparked a lot of speculation.

"Uncle Drew must be Michael Jordan!"

"'Being old doesn't mean you don't play basketball. You are really old when you stop playing.' Does this sentence imply something?"

"Perhaps, there really is such a scary old man!"

"This movie is really itchy!"

……

On the 26th, major news reported an astonishing news.

"Uncle Drew" grossed $8861313 on its first day!

In the highly competitive Christmas file, it ranked No.8 of the day.

No.1, "Spiritual Bits", $2526 million,
No.2, "Kiss Little Mom", $1914 million,
No.3, "Electronic Love Letter", $1842 million,
No.4, "Fringe of the French Open", $1514 million,
No.5, "Prince of Egypt", $1452 million,
No.6, "Teachers Are Not Human", $1163 million,
No.7, "Superstar Joe Yang", $1060 million,
No.8, "Uncle Drew", $886 million,
No.9, "Shakespeare Love/History", $778 million

"Uncle Drew" was well received by critics and audiences.

""Uncle Drew" does not apply to any existing physical or physiological logic. In other words, it shatters all existing logical frameworks and re-establishes its own film ecology. In this ecosystem, the only order is basketball. .To be precise, it is street basketball. Compared with the strict rules of the NBA, street basketball is more free. In addition to being a sport, it is also an art. It is a kind of dance, a kind of rap, a kind of outlining Aphrodite The spiritual totem of the outline."

""Uncle Drew" didn't use any special effects, and even those scenes that ignited the blood in Rock Park were not the waves caused by basketball superstars, but basketball. Basketball is the best special effects in the world.'Why not love, A basketball is the most reliable thing in the world. You don’t complain or question it. You drop it and it bounces right back.”

"The film presents a sense of sharp-edged comics. The best point of comics is the abstraction, concentration and amplification of real life. In the film, the old boots have been in a wheelchair for more than ten years, and half of the eyes of the dark lamp are half blind. Entering Rock Park, as soon as you touch the basketball, you will return to the passionate time of the shirtless boy. Stealing, dribbling, passing, and dunking. "Just like breathing, basketball is already instinctive, and you can't forget it." This is A kind of basketball spirit, but also an attitude towards life. Just like Uncle Drew taught the young Dax, 'If you don't take the initiative to shoot, your chances of success are equal to zero'."

"Uncle Drew thinks that the younger generation is too impetuous and utilitarian, 'fancy moves, extremely rubbish shots', and does not 'play well'. When Uncle Drew said that he only played for 'love' , attracted a burst of laughter from the young people, but they didn’t know that it was because they lacked a little true love that they couldn’t focus on the present and have nothing else to do in the process of playing.”

"Uncle Drew regards basketball as his life, basketball guides his life, and he understands life from basketball. He said, 'Basketball is the most reliable thing in the world. Don't complain, don't question. You throw It, it will bounce back immediately.' This, perhaps, is the true portrayal of Uncle Drew."

On the second day, the box office of "Uncle Drew" made great strides, surpassing tens of millions in a single day.

After that, it overtook continuously.

A week later, the box office exceeded 6600 million!Ranked No.4 of movies of the same grade!
Since New Year's Day, the box office of "Uncle Drew" has dropped, but it is still in the forefront.Looking at it, it is about to break through [-] million.

Some people can't sit still
In Las Vegas, in a luxurious suite, the leaders of the players union gathered together again.

Ewing was still encouraging everyone, "Guys, hold on! We're about to win."

However, this time, someone stood up.

Players Union Vice President Billy Hunter!

"Patrick, I think it's time for us to back down."

Ewing glared, "What did you say?"

Unexpectedly, Billy Hunter shot the case with a "bang",

"Enough, I've had enough! Patrick, I've had enough of you!"

Billy Hunter pointed directly at Ewing's nose and cursed.

"Patrick, you selfish fool!"

"Didn't you see? Everyone is making money, but we are wasting time and wasting our lives here!"

"Don't you see a lot of players have lost their jobs? They need to support their families, they need to play games!"

"We can't go on like this, we have to do something!"

Surprisingly, Ewing didn't say a single rebuttal throughout the whole process, as if he had realized his mistake and was speechless.

The players union suddenly tilted.
The players were jealous when they saw other people making movies and making money.The team owner saw the huge market appeal of NBA players, and it was all money!
So, on January 1th, before the deadline of January 5th given by David Stern, the labor and capital got together again in New York.

negotiation.one day one Night!
On January 1, both employers and employees took a step back and finally reached an agreement.
