City: I Create The Nba!

October 1.

NBA headquarters, press hall.

In the spacious and bright hall, hundreds of media reporters gathered together.

Today is the first press conference held by the NBA.

In addition to the live broadcast, the press conference will also be broadcast simultaneously on platforms such as NBATV and YoutubeTV.

At this moment, many netizens are watching the live broadcast through various channels.

"The NBA league is a five-a-side full-court game, which seems to be much more exciting than a three-a-side half-court game!"

"I'm almost sick of watching the 3X3 game in the ABA League, and finally something new has appeared."

"I really hope that the NBA game will start sooner, I can't wait!"

...

Inside the news hall.

NBA President Jiang Han walked up to the stage in a neat suit.

The various signing ceremonies during this period were performed by NBA Vice President Lewis.

It was the first time Jiang Han appeared in public.

In an instant, the young Jiang Han became the focus of the audience.

The sound of "click, click" taking pictures is endless.

Jiang Han stood on the stage, looked around, and looked at the densely packed media reporters in the venue, without stage fright.

He cleared his throat and said in fluent English: "Thank you all for coming to the NBA's first press conference in spite of your busy schedule. I am NBA President Jiang Han!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a series of applause at the scene.

In the eyes of everyone, although Jiang Han is young and a native of Xia, he has gained the respect of everyone for being able to establish a professional sports league like the NBA.

Jiang Han paused, and when the scene returned to calm, he said slowly: "The NBA league was established in early August, and it has only been two months since it was fully played.

Although it cannot be compared with the NFL football league, MLB baseball league, and NHL ice hockey league, the NBA has achieved some initial results in the past two months.

For example, the NBA has officially established partnerships with 42 companies, and the NBA has 30 basketball teams with nearly 500 players.

At present, the schedule of the new NBA season has been fully released, and October 27 is the opening game of the first NBA season. "

After a brief introduction of the situation, Jiang Han started today's topic.

He said: "Although the NBA is a new league, charity programs are an indispensable theme of the NBA.

The NBA League will hold activities such as community care actions, charity projects for studying and becoming talented, player public welfare activities, charity basketball training camps, and charity dinners.

In addition, 30 teams have established community service departments, and they will make due contributions to social health, social welfare and social progress in the coming days.

On this point, all walks of life are invited to supervise the NBA league! "

Hearing this, all the media reporters at the scene clapped their hands and applauded.

In their view, any cause related to public welfare should be supported.

Jiang Han continued: "The opening game of the NBA is October 27th. From this day on, the NBA regular season, which lasts for more than five months, will kick off.

Each NBA team will play 82 regular season games, and the top eight teams in the East and West will enter the playoffs.

Among them, in early February, the NBA will hold a 7-day All-Star Weekend.

Starting in mid-April, the NBA playoffs began. The top eight teams in the East and West will play a series of seven games and four wins according to their records.

The winner advances, the loser is eliminated.

In June, the champions of the Eastern Conference and the Western Conference will play in the finals to determine the final champion! "

Hearing this, everyone present nodded their heads.

They are very satisfied with the NBA schedule.

Obviously, this schedule is well thought out!

Next, Jiang Han talked on the stage, talking about the future development plan of the NBA.

He talked a lot, from how to internationalize a professional sports league, how to expand the influence of the league, etc., all aspects were mentioned.

Half an hour later, Jiang Han finished his speech.

The press conference entered the question-and-answer session for reporters.

A reporter from the New York Times was the first to ask: "Mr. Jiang Han, you just said that the salary cap for each team in the NBA's new season is $57.6 million. How is this figure formulated?"

Jiang Han said calmly: "In the NBA, the specific amount of the salary cap is closely related to the total income of the NBA.

48% of the NBA's total revenue is used as the capital for the team to spend money, and then divide this 48% by the number of teams, and the average obtained is this year's salary cap.

The total wages that teams can spend on players cannot exceed this figure.

If it exceeds the luxury tax threshold of US$66 million, then the team needs to pay an additional luxury tax to the NBA official. "

Hearing this, everyone present suddenly realized and nodded.

The establishment of the salary cap system was obviously carefully considered by Jiang Han.

Otherwise, if a team spends money crazily and introduces a large number of stars, it will cause a one-sided situation and make the league unbalanced.

At this time, a reporter from the Los Angeles Times asked: "Mr. Jiang Han, the NBA currently only has 30 teams. Is there any plan to expand in the future?"

Jiang Han said bluntly: "At present, the NBA has no plans to expand its military. Of course, whether to expand its military in the future depends on the situation of the league."

A reporter from the Washington Post asked: "Mr. Jiang Han, all 30 teams in the NBA are under your name. I wonder if you will buy or sell teams?"

Jiang Han smiled and said: "Of course! If there are business tycoons who are willing to pay a high price to buy an NBA team, I am naturally happy to see it!"

Speaking of this, Jiang Han added: "In the NBA, the private rights of the club and the rights of the league are very cleanly separated. The public affairs of the league are handled by the NBA officials, and the NBA does not interfere with the club's private rights.

The existence of the NBA league can maximize the balance between the benefits of rich clubs and poor clubs.

In the final analysis, the NBA league is to protect the team's income.

All actions are to give investors more reports.

Welcome all tycoons in the business world, come to buy NBA teams. "

At this time, a CBS reporter asked: "Mr. Jiang Han, during this time, the ABA league is also preparing for a five-a-side basketball league. How should the NBA league handle itself?"

Jiang Han smiled, "No matter how the ABA league is, it will not affect the development strategy of the NBA. We just need to be ourselves!"

Next, Jiang Han answered other questions in turn.

After all ten questions were asked, the NBA's first press conference came to a successful conclusion.
