Sock dance.

It's not that Andy's mouth is too poisonous. In fact, because of the deterioration of the overall economic environment, the NBA based on the market feels unprecedented pressure.

As an entertainment industry, NBA, for ordinary American families, when they are rich in money, they are idle and bored to watch a game. But now why don't they run on the court and watch TV more clearly?!

When the appeal of stars is not enough, NBA can only do more in "beauty se". That's why NBA cheerleaders are now passing through fewer exciting performances, and there are more and more performances. When the game is not attractive, cheerleaders' performances can indeed become a few highlights.

for Andy's words, although Stern has the urge to spit blood, but also knows the meaning of ridicule. Stern, who has been crawling around the mall for many years, smelled danger as early as last year.

In April 2008, a few months before the U.S. stock market fell in full swing, he had the foresight to convene club owners to discuss possible economic downturn trends and countermeasures. Later, the situation was worse than he expected. The rapid decline of the global economy made stern decide to take the lead. Before the start of the NBA regular season, the league made a decision to lay off workers.

The NBA headquarters laid off 9% of its staff and laid off as many as 80 people. The move makes the NBA the first sports league in the United States to cut jobs in the financial tsunami.

"It's impossible. The financial crisis forced us to tighten our belts." Stern sighed.

However, the business trader still expressed his hope for the future of NBA, he added: "the stock market has dropped 30% to 40%. This cruel fact is in front of us, so it's normal for us to reduce our earnings by 1% or 2%. We have to see the current economic situation clearly, because we don't know what will happen. But we are confident that we can survive the financial crisis.

What's more, the NBA depends on more than the U.S. market. The economy of Europe, especially China, will not be as difficult as that of the U.S. "

It's not hard to smell out the words of the president of the league. China has become his biggest way to save the NBA economy. As the most favored by the Chinese market, the Rockets are undoubtedly the most popular in all NBA teams, especially after winning the championship this year, the popularity of the Rockets in China is almost incomparable, and the Rockets' players have received the soft touch this summer.

"The league can play two regular season games in China as before, such as the Rockets vs. the Lakers. I think this game can make all the participants happy. What do you think, Mr. President?"

Andy had a sunny smile on his face and looked at David Stern's suggestion.

David Stern also looked at Andy with a smile and said: "it seems that we want to go together, but what's the situation of Yao's injury? Can we play then? After all, he is the pride of the Chinese people. Without him, the results would be discounted. "

" ha ha. " Andy shakes his head and laughs when he hears Stern's problem. Since winning the championship, Yao has claimed to hurt his left foot. Because of the game, he has been insisting until the end of the finals. Now he needs to start treatment, causing a great uproar from the outside world.

In fact, the Rockets have known about Yao's injury for a long time, but they didn't disclose it to the outside world. They just said in a vague voice that "the situation is not clear" to perfunctory, and all kinds of guesses from the outside world are ridiculous. The predictions about Yao's serious injury and facing retirement are almost full of all sports reports from China and the United States.

"He has nothing to do with it. His left foot has been injured, but it's more caused by fatigue. After a period of rest and conservative treatment, it's no big problem. So, you can rest assured that the goal of the Rockets next season is to defend the championship!"

"Ha ha, that's good." David Stern looked at the young world's richest man in front of him, and his heart was filled with emotion. It was undoubtedly a very right thing to agree and help this young man to join the league, which not only brought more attention to the league, but also brought many changes to the business genius and the League.

Although it's not something he would like to see for the league, but it's not entirely a bad thing. Anyway, the ratings of this year's rockets championship game have made history. The global audience is almost as good as the Olympic Games. Well, that's a bit exaggerated.

"That's the deal. The first regular season game between the rockets and the Lakers is in China!"

"No problem. Things that benefit everyone. " Andy laughs, "but I still want to put forward some opinions. As for the referee's judgment of Yao, I believe that a healthy Yao is very important to the rockets and even more important to the league. At present, it seems that Tian Chaoyi can't replace Yao. Once Yao leaves the league, I believe that although the League won't lose the market of Tian Chaoyi, it will definitely break in half, so I I hope the league can take care of Dayao more. This is a very cost-effective business for the league. What do you say, Mr. President? "“。。。。。。” David Stern pulled at the corners of his mouth and shook his head helplessly. "He's got a lot of care," he said

"Ha ha, Mr. President, don't be kidding. With black mamba's five step layup and two dribbles, the little emperor's n-step layup is far from being taken care of. Don't regret until you lose it. There are so many infringements on Yao's court. I don't want to see him destroyed by some rubbish. That kind of loss is too big. It costs hundreds of millions of dollars every year I'm going to be crazy! "

Andy's face changed from a smile to a serious one. His eyes were bright and sharp, and he looked at David Stern with frown. He had already thought about it before he came this time. In any case, he should win the star post for Yao. Even if it's not as exaggerated as Kobe and James, he should also let Yao enjoy the treatment that the referee always pays attention to protecting, and let Yao become a hedgehog to protect Yao won't be blackmailed.

Andy also took great pains for Dayao, a money spinner.

"You little guy... Ha ha, it really will give me a problem. " David Stern smiled helplessly on his old face, shaking his head and chuckling, "his height of 2.26 plus his weight of nearly 300 Jin, there is almost no solution in the inner line. In addition, he has a lot of attacking skills. It's impossible to lock him up by himself

In fact, everyone knows that it's really difficult for Yao and O'Neill to defend without small moves because of their large size, tonnage and strength. Although the defender has numerous small movements, as long as it is not too obvious, the referee generally does not give the whistle.

"That can't be because the player is too strong, it can't be unfair to him. The strategy of chopping sharks has long been notorious. Dayao is not that big shark, so bear it! "

"Poof --"

hearing Andy say this, David Stern almost spits out an old blood again, looks at Andy with a strange look, and shakes his head: "OK, I will let the judges pay more attention to the 'fair' judgment."

However, David Stern looked at Andy's smile on his face again, and he joked: "by the way, the league has passed Larry Ellison's request to join the warriors. Next season, I'm going to let the rockets and warriors have a Christmas War. Besides, I heard that you and Larry are not happy, is that true?"

"Ha ha, no matter, you arrange the warriors to play against our rockets in the Christmas War. Don't you mean to bully the warriors? At that time, if the score is too wide, don't regret it. " Andy laughed and shook his head to make complaints about it. But in his heart, the old Yin 13 of the old guy was also a Tucao.

"You are a bad old man, very bad!"
