You should cross the mountains like a brave man

Chapter 390 Big Event
This evening, Wei Xia took a taxi back to the hotel with Hollins after supper.

As a result, he actually fell asleep in the taxi and couldn't wake him up. In the end, Hollins carried him from the taxi to the hotel room, took off his shoes like a nanny, roughly covered the quilt, and went back to his room.

It may be that the matchup with Arenas was too exhausting, and Wei Xia fell into a deep sleep.

His consciousness was called, and he flew to January 1964, 1.

Almost every day, someone complains.

What are you complaining about?The race schedule, itinerary, poor transport arrangements and hotel conditions.

And these are the reasons why Tom Heinsohn, as the second president of the Players Association after Bob Cousy, has frequent negotiations with the league.

The current relationship between labor and capital is not equal.

In the future, the big dog Robinson will open his mouth to ask for a contract of [-] million yuan without playing a game, and Jordan will force the Bulls to postpone the rebuilding plan with one signing a year. It is impossible to happen today.

In the words of Jerry West, current players are like slaves of slave owners, with no freedom at all and low status. Players are not synonymous with stars, but basketball collar workers who do manual labor, but the pay is relatively higher.

Elgin Baylor later called the NBA league from 1946 to 1964 the Stone Age.

The 1964 All-Star Weekend is January 1, which is tomorrow.

However, since the early All-Star Weekend only had the main game, there was no individual event, and it only took one day to complete, so there was no concept of weekend at all.

The All-Star Game will be played tomorrow, and everyone was still on the road yesterday.

Take the Celtics as an example. On the eve of the All-Star Game, on January 1th, they played away against the Cincinnati Royals; on January 9th, they played back-to-back at home against the Philadelphia 1ers;These various back-to-back schedules sound like Hu Jianren swearing, but this is the schedule in the early 10s.

So, don't say that some people care more about the past than the present, and some modern superstars really can't play in the 60s.

For example, Embiid and Leonard, these two representatives of the physically disabled and strong-minded who see back-to-back, how to fight?The Celtics have only played less than 40 games this season, but they have played four rounds of back-to-back games.

The schedule is so random, so amateurish, so not treating the players as human beings, so fucking outrageous, you can see it in just two games.

On November 1963, 11, the Celtics played against the San Francisco Warriors.

For the next five or six days, they didn't play.

Probably the person who made the schedule suddenly discovered that the Celtics had been stocked by them for almost a week, so after the short holiday during the season, they inserted a back-to-back, back-to-back, back-to-back, back-to-back schedule.Regardless of whether the Celtics who play this hell schedule are close to the north, I am anyway.

The Celtics went through back-to-backs, took a day off, and played the Los Angeles Lakers on the road the day before the All-Star break.

Before the game started, Heinsohn took the lead, and five all-star players from both sides gathered in the middle circle to discuss certain matters.

As a time traveler, Wei Xia has the right to open the eyes of the sky, but he did not use this right.

He didn't learn about this history through Google in the future, and he wanted to keep some suspense for himself.

So far, he's learned by insinuation that the stars of tomorrow night's All-Star Game will be making big moves in the first televised game in the history of the NBA.

As for the big move, he still doesn't know.

Purpose?Guess it.

About the garbage schedule, about the unbearable transportation arrangements, about the terrible hotel environment, about the logistics support, the medical plan, and most critically, and most urgently, the pension plan that can make everyone who plays basketball feel at ease.

The first super giant in NBA history, George Mikan, retired with a lot of injuries and a limping foot. In order to survive, he worked as a lawyer.

Due to the low salary, all players have the habit of working summer vacation jobs in summer.

What Heinsohn and the others must do must revolve around these things.

Havlicek wasn't an All-Star, so he was left out.

He still took the opportunity to lean in and listen to them.

"Do you dare to turn against the red head?" Baylor asked sarcastically.

Heinsohn showed extraordinary determination and leadership in this meeting, "It is about the well-being of all of us, even if I turn against my parents, I will not hesitate!"

Bill Russell looked at his arch-rival, whom he had beaten in finals, and said only one thing: "I'm fed up with injustice."

Baylor carefully looked at the few people in front of him. They knew each other enough. Although the communication with each other was not as convenient as that of the future players, there was nothing like fighting in front of each other on the court to improve mutual understanding.

"It's not you, Bill," Baylor said. "It's us. We're all fed up with injustice."

Heinsohn turned his gaze to West, who had been silent all this time, "What about you, Jerry?"

"I have no objection." West's hesitation made people feel a little uneasy, but Heinsohn didn't intend to unite everyone at first.Some people will inevitably jump back and submit to the management. They just need to ensure that there are more people who revolt and make trouble than those who submit.

Their meeting ended, and the game began afterward.

With the All-Star game approaching, both sides couldn't let go, and no one wanted to get hurt.

The intensity of the game was too low, and the Celtics easily took advantage of the inside line to open up the situation. With Russell as the absolute core of the team, they controlled the Lakers' offense.

Baylor and West's offensive desires are not high, and the trend of the game is thus controlled by the Celtics.

99 is better than 79
The Celtics beat the Lakers by 20 points.

"Don't forget our appointment!" At the end of the game, Heinsohn said to Baylor from a distance.

They reconfirmed their respective intentions, and Heinsohn became even more confident in making things happen.At least, he has received the support and support of many people, but no one knows what will happen then.

Whether those who claim to support him will suddenly turn against them and kill them is anyone's guess.

Seeing his frowning, Wei Xia asked curiously, "What are you planning?"

Seeing Havlicek, Heinsohn smiled.

For some reason, Havlicek has a reassuring magical power.

"Hondo, it's not that I don't believe you, but you're not an All-Star yet. The less people know about this, the better. But if we succeed, you will definitely thank me. No, you have to buy me a fucking year's worth of cigarettes!" After Heinsohn finished speaking, he couldn't help but deeply affirmed his thoughts.

Yes, they fought all the way, not to change the world, but to change the treatment of future generations.

Their success or failure tomorrow night will determine the future of professional basketball and whether NBA players will continue to be slaves of management in the next few decades, or whether they will have the right to confront management from now on.

What kind of future that is, they can't say.

But in any case, they are not rougher than their era.

Either live or die.

Once you've made a decision, you can't go back.

Heinsohn is usually careless, but he is a good and reliable boss.He decided not to speak out, and Wei Xia couldn't find out anything.

"You are a cat, why are you so curious?"

Seeing that Wesha was unhappy because he didn't find out what was going on, Frank Ramsey actually kicked him from behind.

Wei Xia touched the footprints on his buttocks and said, "Do you like being left alone?"

"Some things can only be led by certain people. Tommy said that the basis for participating in this matter is the All-Star. You are not, I am not, so what else is there to say?" Ramsey has made it clear that the 1963-64 season is his last season. He has won enough championships, and the future direction of the league has little to do with him.

So it's not surprising or strange that he showed indifference, that's the reaction that normal people should have.

If Wei Xia wants to blame, he can only blame Havlicek for "not living up to expectations".Unexpectedly, he couldn't even get an All-Star spot, which caused him to miss this far-reaching event.

One of the benefits of playing in the 60s was that most of the regular season ended without a press conference.

The media doesn't care about the regular season at all.

Therefore, except for the key players who will accept on-site interviews and say a few words, everyone else should do what they should do.

Havlicek typically has two paths home.

Go for a jog, or rub against your teammate's car.

However, not many in the team can drive.Therefore, there are too many monks and few food for a long time, and the car owners are still very snobbish.

Both Havlicek and Wei Xia are honest people, and they can hardly catch a car, so it is common for them to run home.

Havlicek is white. Although he has repeatedly declared in front of the media that the blacks on the team are brothers and good friends, no racist will attack him because of this, so it is generally safe to jog home.

Wei Xia was worried about how to get rid of Havlicek's body.

If he went back like this, the close contact with Havlicek's wife might be unavoidable.

He has taken advantage of Havlicek a lot.Some advantages can be taken, some can not.

Just when his brain was in a trance due to jogging, the call from outside the sky made him feel that his sight was rising. Suddenly, he found that he was no longer tired and had no sweat on his body. Later, his consciousness broke away from the ground and soared to the pure black world at an extremely fast speed.

In front of him was a light curtain that he had never explored before.

Many strange fragments flashed across the light curtain, luring him into it.

He knew that today would be a different day, and which superstar before he was born summoned him?
