City: I Create The Nba!

July 1.

The nba free market is open.

Thirty teams were allowed to approach free agents, negotiate and reach agreements.

at the same time.

Inside the nba headquarters building in new york.

NBA officials are holding a press conference.

At the press conference, NBA President Jiang Han announced: "In order to promote the development of women's basketball in the world, the NBA will establish the WNBA Professional Women's Basketball League.

The WNBA has a total of 12 teams, divided into eastern and western leagues, with 6 teams in each league.

Eastern Conference teams: Atlanta Dream, Chicago Sky, Connecticut Sun, Indiana Fever, New York Liberty, Washington Mystics.

The Western Conference teams are: Los Angeles Sparks, Minnesota Lynx, Phoenix Mercury, Las Vegas Aces, Seattle Storm, Dallas Pegasus.

There are 12 teams, most of which use the same arena as the NBA teams, with the exception of the Connecticut Sun and the Las Vegas Aces.

On April 18, 2023, the WNBA will hold its first draft.

On April 26, 2023, the WNBA will hold a pre-season training camp.

On May 15, 2023, the WNBA regular season officially begins.

On July 15, 2023, the WNBA All-Star Game will begin.

The eight teams with the highest regular season winning percentages in the East and West will play the playoffs in early September.

The first and second rounds of the playoffs adopt a single-elimination system, and the semi-finals and finals adopt a five-game best-of-three system until the final wnba championship is determined! "

As soon as the words fell, the media reporters at the scene suddenly became in an uproar.

wnba women's professional basketball game!

Nowadays, women's status in the world is getting higher and higher. Almost all sports events are divided into men's and women's groups, and the same is true for professional sports.

They had also expected the professional women's basketball league to appear as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, the nba created the wnba league so quickly, and the league will officially start next year!

Next, Jiang Han told everyone in detail about the rules of the wnba basketball game, as well as some precautions.

The scene entered the questioning session of reporters.

A New York Times reporter asked: "Mr. Jiang Han, I would like to ask, has WNBA reached a broadcast agreement with the outside world? What about advertising sponsorship?"

Jiang Han replied: "Currently, wnba has reached broadcasting cooperation with ESPN, ABC, and NBATV.

In addition, each wnba team will sign a broadcast agreement with local TV stations, and all events will also be broadcast on the radio in the local city.

Of course, since the wnba alliance has just been established, the amount of the broadcast contract is not high.

In terms of advertising sponsors, companies such as Farmers Insurance, Lifelock Internet Information Security Company, Talking Stick Resort Hotel, Verizon, Nike, etc. have reached jersey sponsorship cooperation with various teams in the Wnba League. "

Hearing this, the media reporters present nodded their heads one after another.

NBA is worthy of being a highly commercialized professional sports league!

Up to the nba basketball league, down to the nba-league development league, and the newly created wnba league.

Almost everything is linked to business!

In fact, this might not be a bad thing.

All major companies want to sponsor NBA giants like the Los Angeles Lakers, but not every company can afford such a huge sponsorship fee.

Many small and medium-sized enterprises can completely change their thinking and sponsor the wnba women's basketball team.

Moreover, in the era when women can hold up half the sky, sponsoring women's basketball team helps to enhance the corporate image!

A reporter from the Los Angeles Times asked: "Mr. Jiang Han, we all know that the average salary of the NBA league is 7.36 million US dollars, but what is the average salary of the wnba league?"

Jiang Han said truthfully: "At present, according to the Wnba's labor agreement, the average annual salary of Wnba players is 130,000 US dollars, and the highest salary players can get a maximum annual salary of 500,000 US dollars!

Taking into account the differences between men and women, when players go out to play away games, the league will provide them with premium economy class and independent accommodation.

Players receive full pay for maternity leave and a childcare allowance of $5,000 per year.

Players with children can stay in a two-room apartment for free.

In addition, in addition to the basic annual salary, players can also receive additional performance bonuses and so on.

Due to the limited degree of commercialization of women's basketball, the NBA will provide $12 million to the wnba each year to maintain league operations. "

Hearing this, there was warm applause at the scene.

For mature commercial leagues, the more the league earns, the higher wages the players can pay.

Obviously, wnba can't even be responsible for its own profits and losses.

As we all know, the only sports that can bring huge benefits to women are golf and tennis!

And the nba league invests every year to maintain the development of the wnba women's professional basketball league, which is really very humane.

...

University of Connecticut.

The school has entered a three-month summer vacation.

Students are using this time to participate in summer internships, part-time jobs or take summer credits.

Inside the indoor basketball court.

A young girl wearing the No. 33 jersey tirelessly practiced shooting.

Her name is Katie Lou Samuelson, and she won the Best Female College Athlete award at the espy gala last year.

Because Katie has blond hair and amazing looks, coupled with her height of 1.90 meters, she is affectionately called "the number one goddess of basketball!" by the fans!

But what makes her most proud is her impeccable skills on the court!

After the ncaa women's basketball championship in the new season, she will graduate from the University of Connecticut.

Katie has no idea how to go about the future.

She likes playing basketball very much, but there is no women's professional basketball league in the world.

If nothing else happens, what awaits her is to work in a certain company, get married and have children, and live her life in a mediocre way.

"Great news, Katie!"

A girl about 1.7 meters tall ran over in a hurry.

Katie turned her head and found that it was her good friend Kath who was speaking.

"What good news?" Katie said with a smile.

Kath said excitedly: "The NBA has just held a press conference, saying that the WNBA women's professional basketball game has been created, and the WNBA draft will be held on April 18 next year..."

As Kath spoke slowly, Katie's eyes became brighter and brighter.

wnba women's basketball league!

It's really hard to find a place to go through iron shoes, and it doesn't take much effort to get it!

She was still thinking about what to do in the future just now, but she didn't expect that happiness would suddenly come to her.

Moreover, the benefits of the wnba league are really good.

The average annual salary is 130,000 U.S. dollars, maternity leave can get full salary, and childcare insurance allowances, etc., and the top-paid players can even get 500,000 U.S. dollars in annual salary!

If you have excellent skills, you can also get endorsement contracts from major companies.

Thinking of this, Katie picked up the basketball in her hand and shot a three-pointer with a textbook shooting action.

I saw the basketball draw a beautiful arc and pass through the net.

Then, Katie glanced at Kath who was standing there.

Kath understood, walked under the hoop, and cursed, "Let me pick up the ball for you again!"

Katie smiled: "Standing in front of you is the best female athlete in the ncaa, the future mvp of the wnba league, what's wrong with letting you pick up the ball?"

Hearing this, Cass was a little speechless: "Before you write your horoscope, you call yourself the mvp of the wnba league..."

He said so, but Kath still worked hard to pick up the ball.

My good friend has the opportunity to become a professional athlete.

Kath was happy for Katie from the bottom of her heart.
