NBA restricted area bulldozer

Chapter 662

On the morning of the 30th in the base camp, all areas were completely opened under the unfavorable situation of the front-line negotiations, and a large number of reporters poured in, and began to collect the players' voices and wills, which were used as loudspeakers and transmitted to New York.

Is it useful?

In theory, of course it is useful.

Because the various trade unions in the United States are very strong, they are strong because they can organize strikes, and Greenville in the rear is the low pressure before the night of the rainstorm, not to mention the tens of thousands of fans in solidarity, putting pressure on the management very big.

For now, fans still support the players union. After all, they are also supporting their favorite players, and the opening of the core area of ​​Greenville... After the most influential people were interviewed and expressed their attitudes in batches, the online The voices denouncing the officialdom and the owners of the teams have become stronger and stronger.

Basically everything is going well!

The big-name players in the core area basically have a sense of proportion, and they don’t speak too much. Li Shengli and O’Neal, as the first batch of interviewed league super giants, made a good start and fired the first shot from the rear to support the front line.

Want to cap your salary?

Let's raise the basic salary of the league first!

Bottomless exploitation by capital?

Players are also laborers by nature, so what is the reason for creating income but not being able to share dividends!

As for the labor negotiations ahead?

We firmly support the work of the trade union, and will fight back with the formula trade union if necessary!

……

Starts at 12 noon.

The interview from the rear was directly transmitted to the league headquarters in New York. The denunciation of the management on the Internet, print media, and TV media reached a new climax. Stern, who was under the greatest pressure, collapsed directly. Making trouble after the negotiation, the whole person is going crazy.

Temporary public opinion cannot overwhelm a huge league, but after time ferments, it is definitely not impossible for a notorious sports league to be replaced.

Although this is only a very small possibility, as the helm of the league, Stern has to weigh the pros and cons of this time, not to mention the impact on the image of the league, let's just say that after the negotiation fails... then the new season will not be played. beated?

talk!

We must continue to talk!

Even if there is no result this time, we must hold back these harsh voices, slowly digest and downplay the impact.

So... the labor negotiations that were originally suspended at 12 o'clock and the restart time was uncertain, the two parties actually reached an agreement for the first time, and agreed to continue at the negotiating table at 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

This is positive news for the players union.

Greenville in the rear breathed a sigh of relief immediately, because the collective voice in a short period of time obviously had an impact on the management. This good news proved that the rear support to the front line was in place.

……

One afternoon, Greenville was very happy, waiting for the news of the frontline victory to come back.

But the problem is that the negotiations in the afternoon were also at a stalemate until 4 o'clock... After the two sides had finished their confrontation, they walked out of the negotiating table to accept media interviews again.

Only this time the rear was not involved.

Li Shengli organized a group of hooligans to watch live TV in the core area to understand the situation, and a group of muscular, big and small hooligans gathered together, and the picture was very strange.

Release time at Greenville Jail?

Warden Li Shengli organizes inmates to watch TV programs? !

Fortunately, there are few people in this meeting, and they are basically people in Li Shengli's circle. Otherwise, no one would believe that this gang of hooligans would have such a quiet time, but the fact is that it is related to their future income after all.

……

Henry, the executive chairman of the labor union, was the first to be interviewed at the front line. Although the negotiations still had no results, he knew that the forces behind Greenville, including voices from all walks of life in the media, still supported the labor.

"Mr. Henry, what do you think of this negotiation?"

"First of all, I am very grateful to the union for supporting my work. Negotiations will take time, but I think the management should have realized the rationality of our request. This is not a request but a request. This is the right that our players in the league should have."

"Okay, then, do you know the situation in Greenville? Is it like the rumors outside, Li organized the players in the rear to speak out and boost the negotiation?"

"It's my pleasure to answer your question."

"Although Li did not serve in the trade union, he not only achieved impressive results on the field, but also had a very high influence among the players. It is obvious...he is the backbone of our responsibility, the trade union Felt very helpful with him, as a superstar in the league, his courage to take responsibility makes him even greater."

……

Dare to take responsibility?

Still riding a great horse?

Could it be that the former army of hooligans, Li Shengli, has been washed clean in advance?

"Fuck, is this still about our Li?"

"I don't believe it, Li, have you bribed Henry?"

"You all get out, you just know that you are jealous of me! People are right, look at me...how responsible and great I am."

"Bah!" After Li Shengli finished speaking, everyone calmed down, feeling that someone was shameless.

"Stop talking nonsense, Stern is here for the interview."

……

The front line broadcast this meeting after Henry, and the reporter turned directly to Stern, the president and the first helm of the league, but in fact... Stern was also scalp numb at this meeting, and he withstood all the pressure alone.

"Mr. President, what is the progress of the fourth round of labor negotiations? What is your personal opinion on this negotiation?"

"I think this is a good thing. We are all working hard to fight for our own rights. There is no right or wrong. I also thank you for your concern about the progress of this negotiation. But if there is news, I think you will be the first Yes, our officials will promptly inform the media friends of all parties.”

"Mr. President, are you sure this is a good thing?"

"Of course I'm sure, but what I want to say... the salaries of league players are already much higher than that of ordinary people. The income of our basic salary players is much higher than that of ordinary people. They can't ask for more."

"Has Mr. President thought about the career lifespan of players with a basic salary? Maybe they can only earn those one or two years, what you call a higher salary than ordinary people?"

"This..." Stern felt that the voices supporting Labor had expanded, and even the reporter asked questions with obvious tendencies.

After pondering for a while, Stern finally said slowly: "What I want to remind you is... this is fair. After all, there is competition in the league, and competition makes our games more exciting and intense. If everyone is the same salary, do you think there is still passion in a game without motivation?"

……

Stern also has no choice. Without any strong condemnation, it proves that he also cares about the power of labor when negotiating here, and Greenville can understand it at a glance...

Even the voice of the media is on the side of labor and the players?

Even if today's negotiations still have no results, the results are already coming soon, because the bosses of the employers may not be able to withstand the recent power of public opinion, and almost everyone can understand that the victory has been tilted towards the players' union.

Of course, the front-line interviews were not over yet. The players union had a good start, but the irrelevant finishing work was naturally handed over from the professionals to the union management and the players headed by Ewing, the chairman.

"Chairman Ewing, Mr. President just said that the income of players is much higher than that of ordinary people, and they can't ask for more. What do you think of this statement?"

"That's what he said?" Ewing said in a low voice: "Well, although we earn a lot, we also spend a lot, so we can't compare like this."

"Huh?" The reporters were stunned.

"I said that we earn more, but we also spend more. The employer should not limit our salary."

……

What the fuck? !

Isn't what you said about riding a horse a bit lacking?

Not to mention the interviewing reporters, Greenville was completely confused by Ewing alone.

"I'm dying, this brain circuit... It's over, it's over!" Li Shengli felt collapsed.

"Fuck, what you said is that our work is wasted!" O'Neill went crazy.

"This horse-riding...what the hell is he thinking? Can he say such a thing?" Mourning almost scolded his mother, completely ignorant of this crazy world.

"Basically, this negotiation was a waste of time, and we were all cheated by Ewing." Jordan qualified Ewing's speech.

"There is still some hope. It is impossible to abolish the efforts of hundreds of us with one sentence, right?" O'Neill asked unbelievingly.

"We can't be sure of the impact of Ewing's words, and we can't be sure whether the management will make a fuss about this sentence, but the difficulty of successfully ending the negotiation...has been increased by more than one level." Jordan as the big brother Analyze it for everyone.

……

It's just that the impact of Ewing's words of selling teammates has not yet been determined.

The capital's public opinion counterattack came, and the whole media once again broke the news.

Long before the labor negotiations, there were voices predicting that the failure of the negotiations might lead to a suspension of the league, and Celtics point guard Kenny Anderson said in an interview with the New York Times that the suspension had a great impact.

No salary due to lockout?

Then I have to be frugal!

Consider selling one of my eight luxury cars first, otherwise there will be no money to spend!

……

First, Ewing who sold his teammates.

Then there's Anderson, who sells cars for a living.

Just an hour after Ewing spoke...

The private lives of the high-paid players in the entire league are almost wiped out, and the extravagant and extravagant nightlife almost makes the voices supporting labor think... Do you still deserve to participate in and support a game of spoils between multi-millionaires and billionaires?

This turn is too big!

After 4 o'clock, the management immediately got angry and postponed the negotiation indefinitely until the labor compromised. Li Shengli and Jordan were going crazy, and Stern and the bosses were also crazy.

Pig teammates and god assists?

Greenville's rear support, back to before liberation overnight.

……

Swearing at the street till night, Ewing was sprayed as the second chairman of the players union in history, and the night in Greenville was very unsettled, early in the morning of July 7st... the official announcement was that 1 teams in the league would be closed. , even though the regular season has not yet started, all official events until the middle of next season have been cancelled.

As for the rear of Greenville?

Even the front fell, and the support from the rear was nonsense. Everyone was arranged by Li Shengli to leave, and the first day of the shutdown on July 7... The base camp was far less lively than the previous few days. Jordan was the last to leave, and Li Shengli said goodbye.

"Lee, start your vacation, no one can do anything now."

"Damn it, this bastard is making us busy... Forget it, don't play, don't play, I can't move it!"

"Huh... It's really an unbelievable operation." Jordan hadn't recovered from the shock yesterday afternoon, patted Li Shengli and said: "Now that the negotiation is postponed indefinitely, it is not ruled out that it will affect the next season. Schedule, you can arrange your own time, now it's up to me, the person with the first annual salary in the league, to block the gun."

"It's not that serious. I still have a lot of people here who can help. The old and the young can talk. You'll get over it after a while. There's no need to retire. If you fight again, you'll still be No. 1 in the league."

"Okay, I know it myself, if you're okay...forget it, just do what you should do!"

"Damn, I have a lot of things to do. Didn't I just recommend someone to you? I have to check the situation for you. Do you think I'm free, find someone for you, and then... I'll hit myself?"

"What's the mess?" Jordan couldn't figure it out, and then said, "Call me when you have time. I will arrange a meeting. There is an old friend who needs help."
