Lisko’s American Life

We must know that since the establishment of the NBA league in 1946, it has gone through nearly half a century of ups and downs, and various things have been encountered during this period. What kind of damage can this huge business alliance suffer from the attack of an ant-like existence?

For all team owners affiliated with the NBA, as long as the alliance can bring continuous benefits to the team, the alliance will never have the possibility of disbanding, and any existence that may damage the overall rights and interests of the alliance , will suffer consistent attacks and defenses from the team owner.

Moreover, David himself has seen a more serious crisis than this kind of thing, and he got through that crisis directly by relying on an indifferent attitude. This kind of thing will not make his heart stable Make any waves.

But through Tim's threat, it can be clearly heard that the opponent has the full support of his own team owner Lisko, and even these words came from Lisko's mouth. David can't treat it with a normal attitude. Some ordinary people may not know much about Lisko's international reputation and huge network of contacts, but as he has entered the upper class, he is very clear that this ordinary youth who looks harmless to humans and animals is a hidden A giant-like existence on the surface of the water.

You must know that ordinary people in American society are very convinced of these celebrities, especially the celebrity-like existence of writers. What they said was supported and convinced by many media, and they even frantically dug out possible news points in this matter.

For the NBA, the media is a respectful and fearful existence. The vigorous publicity of these media personnel can attract many ordinary people to pay attention to this league, but if people catch any negligence that may occur, Then they will do their best to track down any possible problems in this league, and they will not stop their offensive pace until the seemingly solid building of the NBA league collapses.

And let alone an ordinary sports league, so what about the supremely powerful president of the United States, facing the inquiries and tracking of these reporters, he is still in a state of helplessness, and even does not know how many politicians and power holders It fell under the pen of these reporters. After all, this country flaunts the concept of democracy and freedom.

And Lisko's largest network of contacts lies in these media forces. There are too many people in charge of public opinion and propaganda platforms who are his fellow apprentices. As long as he picks up the phone book and broadcasts a few calls, tomorrow Perhaps the news headlines on the major print media and social networks are questioning the unfair judgment of NBA games, and there may be news about manipulating the game to operate peripheral gambling.

To be honest, David himself did not pay too much attention to the game between the Nuggets and the Heat today. At this age, he was about to step down as the president of the league. In recent years, he has been using The way of delegating power entrusts most of the affairs of the alliance to the successor he is optimistic about. By observing the policy and thinking of the other party's handling of affairs, he can make a thorough decision on who to pass on the position of president to.

But in some meetings, he is still in charge of a veto right, coupled with his continuous efforts and success over the years, the alliance with an annual income of 150 million U.S. dollars has now risen to the point of 4 billion U.S. dollars. It's the entire alliance that still respects and obeys him.

David quickly searched for today's schedule and management personnel responsible for referee judging standards, held a meeting within 10 minutes, and thoroughly tracked down the behind-the-scenes manipulator of the game.

"Adam, Xiao Hua?"

The behind-the-scenes manipulator of this matter is that David is very optimistic about the president candidate to succeed him. Of course, the identity of the other party is currently only his assistant to help him manage the daily affairs of the NBA league. As a league manager, David is very optimistic. It is clear that the main purpose of Adam Silver's doing this is mainly to promote the little emperor who can currently take over the star position of the league.

After all, he himself has come from this era, and the combinations he has won are countless, from the black and white Shuangsha he won when he just took over the position of president of the league, to the basketball god Michael who set a salary cap later. According to the standard, seven teams were recruited to join, setting off an anti-doping frenzy and forming a dream team.

It can be said that in this league, no one knows better than him how to create a huge gimmick to attract the attention of fans. American fans and ordinary people who pay attention to all games like this fateful division of power. When two When opponents who are destined to fight for a lifetime meet, the ratings will suddenly be higher than other competitions.

But if this method happens in normal times, David will feel very relieved, because only this hype mode can guarantee the interest and popularity of the alliance in the eyes of the public. Regardless of whether the outside people question or resist the alliance, they don't care much about the managers. Whether it is a good reputation or a bad reputation, through this kind of word-of-mouth fermentation, it will attract more people. People pay attention to this alliance, as long as there is attention, it is bound to generate benefits.

Only looking at the problem from a macro perspective is the way of thinking of a good league president.

But what makes David feel very angry is that during the already hot game of the Christmas game, if such an unfair attitude still appears, it will definitely make all fans affected by this gimmick doubt the publicity of the entire league.

If an alliance is questioned about unfair treatment, it will suffer a devastating blow for the alliance itself. If affected by this doubt, another team will make a move to withdraw from the league. Maybe this building will really collapse because of a decaying railroad track.

After pausing for a while, David made his own decision without hesitation. Although this decision may have an impact on Adam Silver's authority in the league, the seriousness of the situation at this time has made people unable to care about these details.

The most important thing is that after today's incident, David had some doubts about the decision he had made. Although Adam Silver was very clever and full of wisdom when assisting him. But after I left, can the other party still maintain this attitude and continue to run the alliance? And will the frequent use of such unfair means have some impact on the reputation of the alliance itself?
