At this time, the United States, New York City, NBA headquarters

"NBA Development League (NBDL), as the name suggests, is to reserve talents for NBA"

"In order to provide a better platform for players who participated in the NBA draft but were not selected, or participated in the preseason"

"Any NBA team can select players from the Development League to enter the NBA, and can also send players from their team to the Development League for training."

"This plan can better discover and cultivate talents!"..

NBA President David Stern was in the conference room promoting the NBA Development League plan to all NBA directors on the board. The directors sitting at the long table all looked serious and did not dare to make a conclusion easily.

One of the old directors with glasses adjusted his glasses and said:

"How about we end the meeting here? Let's go down and think about it? Let's vote again at the meeting one month later?"

The meaning is very clear. For every new attempt, there will be corresponding risks.

And these shareholders, based on their own interests, dare not try it easily.

At this time, a secretary came in with a video tape, walked up to David Stern and whispered:

"President, this is what the vice president asked me to bring to you. The vice president was watching the game and recording it."

"It is said to be of great help to this project."

The vice president was afraid that he would not be able to catch up, so he asked me to cut it and send it to him as soon as the third quarter was over."

Oh?

There is such a thing?

A huge help? Are you still so anxious?

We have no choice but to try our best!

David Stern took the videotape with a serious face and said firmly:

""Wait a minute! Take a look at this video first, then draw your conclusions!"

Then, without waiting for the directors to object, David Stern began to play the video.

After a while, an image was projected on the screen.

This video was the third quarter of the 76ers' game against the Pacers today.

"A huge block! This guy actually blocked Reggie Miller!".....

"Oh-my-god! What did I see? 9 out of 9 three-pointers in a single quarter! Scored 27 points!"

"There was even a logo shot! It was so scary! The 76ers only scored 33 points in the third quarter, 27 of which were scored by him!"

With the passionate commentary, 15 minutes passed quickly and the progress bar of the videotape finished.

The whole conference room fell into silence.

The directors could even hear them swallowing their saliva.

It was a full 15 minutes.

Excluding the normal 12 minutes of a quarter and the timeouts.

The rest was either screaming or silence.

Shocked silence!

""Ahem."

Seeing that CEO David Stern was also too shocked to speak, the secretary coughed to remind him and carefully handed him a note.

The note was not big, but it was filled with all the information about the protagonist of the video, Allen.

David Stern swallowed a lot of saliva, held the note in his left hand, loosened his tie with his right hand, and let himself relax.

"The Asian face in the video is named Allen, from China across the ocean. He is 1.98 meters tall, weighs 88 kilograms, has a wingspan of 2.1 meters, and a vertical jump of....."

"He participated in the draft last June, but failed to get a team's attention."

"Because Philadelphia management wanted to expand into the Chinese market like the Dallas Mavericks, they reached a one-year, $250,000 base salary contract with him at the beginning of this season."

"After signing the contract, he didn't get a chance to play until the first game of the playoffs, when the management suddenly had an idea to let him play. That's how we got this image!".....

David Stern was talking nonstop at the table, but the board members were not listening at all. They were completely conquered by Allen and kept muttering.

"This guy is too fierce? Nine out of nine three-point shots! 100% shooting rate?!"

"Why can't we keep looking at this guy even though he didn't dunk? Is this still Iverson? Even he is willing to do the work for Allen?!"

"Failed in the draft? Why would such a person fail in the draft?! If he is not the top pick, he must be the second pick!"

"A Chinese? Does he know Kung Fu? I think he does! Otherwise, how could he be so accurate!".....

Seeing all the directors were stunned, David Stern coughed loudly and pulled back his thoughts.

"Ahem! Everyone!"

Now is the best time to get to the point!

"Now, I think the establishment of the NBA Development League is even more necessary!"

"Our draft is based on talent only! We need to give more opportunities to those who don't seem to have outstanding talents!"

"We can't let a gem like Allen be lost in the long river of time!"

"Everyone! What are your opinions and suggestions?"

Recalling Alan's performance in the video, a fat director took the lead in expressing his opinion.

"I think it's okay! Why not start implementing the plan next season!"

Someone has expressed his opinion, and other directors have followed suit.

"Seconded!"

"I agree!"

"Good! OK!".....

David Stern was delighted when he saw this.

Alan!

You really showed up at the right time!
