Legendary basketball manager

"Fei, good evening~"

As soon as the phone was connected, Shen Fei heard Stern's kind words.

With such a gentle tone, Shen Fei knew that the other party was asking for something.

"What's the matter David?"

Shen Fei was not in the mood to talk nonsense with an old man at night, so he asked directly.

"There is something I want to discuss with you. Tonight you encountered a video of a conflict at the American Airlines Center, which is now spreading wildly on the Internet. You should know about this, right?"

asked Stern.

"Ah."

Shen Fei said lightly.

After returning to the hotel just now, he had nothing to do, so he lay on the bed and checked his phone for a while, and he naturally saw the video and the official nba announcement.

"It's like this... The police have now controlled all five fans who caused trouble, and those people are now under investigation at the police station."

"If there is no accident, the matter will be settled tomorrow. Those few fans have all recruited, and their attitude is quite frank."

Stern continued.

"The video is so clear, and my team members are all witnesses. Do they dare to be honest?"

Shen Fei asked back with a smile.

He has now guessed the purpose of Stern's call. It is nothing more than to reduce the impact so that the fourth game of the finals can be carried out normally.

"Yes yes... Sigh, Shen Fei, you are so smart, I won't go around in circles with you, anyway, it is impossible to deceive you."

"According to the lawyer's experience, if a settlement cannot be achieved, the most likely outcome of this matter is that those fans will be detained administratively for picking quarrels and provoking trouble, locked up for ten days and a half months, and then you will be compensated with some cash. Of course, that The amount of money is definitely not in your eyes."

"In addition, the Heat will also be punished. The most likely measure is that fans will not be allowed to enter the next few home games."

Stern explained in detail.

"You mean, it's possible for the fourth game to be played behind closed doors?"

Shen Fei asked.

"Yes, there is such a possibility. But, Shen, I have to remind you that such punishment actually affects you and the Rockets."

Stern spoke eagerly.

"Oh? How could it be useless? You don't know how much the Heat fans booed tonight. That is to say, my players have a good mental quality, and a player with a poor mental quality may be booed by them so that they can't stand still."

"If the fourth game is played in an empty stadium and everyone plays quietly, our winning percentage will definitely be greater."

Shen Fei broke the road without mercy.

"You are right, but...the Rockets may win the championship in the next game. At that time, many celebrities, including award presenters like Bill Russell, will also come to watch the game."

"This should be a moment of honor for the Rockets. If there are no fans present at this time, the atmosphere on the scene must be extremely deserted! After all, the empty field is not only for Heat fans, but also for Rockets fans!"

Stern quickly analyzed the pros and cons for the Rockets.

"But the Heat's ticket sales policy is outrageous. In the game just now, there may have been more than 1000 Rockets fans present."

Shen Fei said lightly.

"This is easy to handle! I can contact the Heat and ask them to cancel the sold tickets for the fourth game and give them a full refund on the grounds of investigating hidden dangers in the security of the arena."

"Then re-draw the ticket sales plan and try to achieve a 1:1 ratio of fans from the two sides who will watch the game in the fourth game. What do you think?"

Seeing that Shen Fei's attitude could change, Stern quickly gave a solution that he had already prepared.

This plan is actually beneficial to both parties.

On the Heat's side, if things don't turn around, they also need to refund all the tickets that have been sold for Game [-].

If Shen Fei agrees to a settlement, they can still keep this huge ticket revenue.

You know, the tickets for this so-called "War of the Century" finals are already ridiculously high.

According to the statistics of relevant departments, the price of the most expensive ticket for this finals is as high as 80879 US dollars (about 538775 yuan).

Among them, the average ticket price of the Rockets' home finals is $3249 (about 21642 yuan), and the average ticket price of the Heat's home finals is $2862 (about 19064 yuan).

Both the highest ticket price and the average ticket price have created historical records!

And this is just tickets, the revenue of the finals also includes advertising fees, broadcast fees, etc...

In such a market, if the fourth game becomes an empty game, it will be an absolute loss for the Heat and the NBA!

Therefore, reconciliation is almost the only way out for the Heat and NBA officials.

As for the Rockets, Shen Fei really didn't want the fourth battle to be played in an empty field.

For the first championship of the Rockets, he hoped that everything would be perfect. It would be strange if there were no fans present.

"I can consider reconciliation, but your condition is not enough."

Shen Fei pondered for a moment and then spoke.

As soon as Stern heard that there was room for discussion, he immediately cheered up, and hurriedly said: "Not enough, of course not enough! It's just that I am old and my mind is slow, and I can't think of a better way for a while. Shen Fei, what do you think? tell me!"

"First, for the behavior of the Heat fans, the punishment should be severely punished. The only thing that can be accommodated is the time of implementation."

Shen Fei thought for a moment, and made the first condition.

Tonight's conflict is either small or big.

If Shen Fei was an ordinary rich man who had no power to restrain a chicken, and had an even more powerless wealthy daughter by his side, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Analogous to the football world, football hooligans like Italy have even caused murders.

Therefore, punishment cannot be based solely on the results of the matter. The behavior of these five Heat fans is actually very dangerous.

"It must be severely punished! I have been the president of the NBA for so many years, and this is the first time I have seen such a fat fan. Don't worry, Shen, I will give you a guarantee. After the start of next season, the Heat must play at least 10 games at home. Empty field!"

Stern vowed.

"Second, the Heat officials, especially the stadium security and field records, must solemnly apologize to Ajiali and me."

Shen Fei continued.

He has not forgotten the director who led the fans to attack him with noise before the game started.

"This is a reasonable request, and I guarantee you the most solemn apology."

Stern agreed.

"The last request...it is reasonable that the number of fans of the two teams will be 1:1 in the next game, but Rockets fans will get a [-]% discount when buying tickets."

Shen Fei continued.

"This... Shen, the [-]% discount is not a small amount. I'm afraid it will cause dissatisfaction among Heat fans. And now that tickets are purchased online, how can you be sure that Rockets fans will get the discount?"

Stern thought for a long time and said helplessly.

"This is easy to solve. As long as the announcement is made, all fans wearing Rockets jerseys in the fourth game can return half of the ticket price after the game. The money will come from the Heat."

"In this way, the Rockets fans get a discount, and the Heat fans have nothing to lose. The losses are all borne by the Heat."

Shen Fei's mind turned quickly, and he came up with a solution that satisfies both needs.

Stern was stunned for a moment.

This method... seems to really work.

Moreover, the Heat who paid the money have no reason to refuse.

Because according to this plan, they can still get 3/4 of the ticket revenue, once Shen Fei's proposal is rejected, it will be nothing!

"Give me a little time, I'll discuss it with the Heat, okay?"

asked Stern.

"Okay, then I'll play on my phone for another 10 minutes and wait for your good news."

After finishing speaking, Shen Fei hung up the phone.
