NBA: The opening game knocked Jordan

Chapter 193: The disagreement between Stern and his successor Xiao Hua was finally resolved by Li Luyao? (Subscription please!) ）

Jordan, the genius of the geniuses, no one knows Jordan better than Stern, Jordan can be the first man in NBA history, it is no exaggeration to say that Stern played a big role.

Of course, Jordan also helped Stern truly promote the NBA to the world, turning the NBA into a mecca for world basketball.

It is easy to ask God and it is difficult to send God, although Stern put Jordan on the altar, Jordan also helped the NBA to glory.

But with Jordan’s retirement, NBA ratings slipped and slipped.

Although after Jordan’s retirement, Stern put the Lakers’ OK combination on the altar.

In order to be able to let the OK combination lead the Lakers to a three-game winning streak, David Stern had to sacrifice the Kings, and no one knows better than Stern whether the Kings played against the Lakers in the Western Conference finals, because all this was operated by Stern.

Of course, Stern never regretted it, and he also had a clear conscience, for the simple reason that he felt that everything he did was in the interests of the NBA league.

But the ratings of the three-time Lakers are completely incomparable to the Bulls led by Jordan.

Jordan can be on the unique altar, relying not only on strength, but also super ornamentation, Jordan relies on his league-leading stagnant air and imagination, every time can perform a miracle stroke in the game, attracting countless fans to bend their waist.

And Jordan’s influence is not limited to the field, outside the court Jordan is also the NBA’s traffic responsibility, it is no exaggeration to say that Jordan’s number of fans in the world is not weaker than any Hollywood superstar.

All of this makes Jordan unique.

After Jordan retired, Stern also selected many people to want to create gods again, but the results were very unsatisfactory.

To put it bluntly, the NBA is a business league after all, and since it is a business league, making money is naturally the first priority.

Watching the ratings of the NBA that he personally created the once popular global is getting lower and lower, and the NBA’s influence in the world is getting smaller and smaller, Stern almost lost his hair.

In order to bring the NBA league back to new glory, David Stern personally went to the Celestial Empire to open up the Celestial Empire market, after all, the Celestial Empire Market is the largest market in the world and has the most NBA fans in the world.

Under Stern’s push, Dayao was able to land in the NBA as a top pick.

Although the effect of Dayao’s joining the NBA is not as good as Stern expected, Li Luyao, who joined the NBA with Dayao, is completely popular and has become the face of today’s NBA league.

It is not an exaggeration to say that Li Luyao can become the first person in the league today, relying on absolute strength, Stern did not reach out to help, but now as Li Luyao’s popularity is getting higher and higher, the Kings’ game ratings have repeatedly reached new highs, and Stern’s eyes began to focus on Li Luyao.

Stern deliberately wants to make Li Luyao the new king of the NBA and become the face of the NBA league, thinking of this, Stern found his hardcore henchman Xiao Hua.

Knock knock!

“In!”

Hearing the rhythmic knock outside the door, Stern knew very well in his heart that it was Xiao Hua who was coming.

Xiao Hua is thoughtful in doing things, and the implementation of Stern’s decision is meticulous, so Stern also made great efforts to train Xiao Hua and prepared to let Xiao Hua take over after he retired.

Li Luyao, as the next generation of the NBA league in Stern’s mind, how to let the league push Li Luyao’s popularity to a higher peak, this matter Stern is ready for Xiao Hua to do.

In this way, after Stern retired, I believe that according to the foundation of the relationship that Xiao Hua and Li Luyao have now laid, they can also pass very smoothly.

“President, you look for me.”

Xiao Huabi said respectfully.

In fact, respecting Stern is only what Xiao Hua did to Stern on the surface, Xiao Hua is very dissatisfied with many of Stern’s practices in his heart, and he now wants to wait for Stern to retire, he can become the new director of the NBA, and then make drastic reforms to the league.

“Xiao Hua, come, sit down and talk, and try the top Brazilian coffee that has been flown in.”

“Thank you, President.”

“Xiao Hua, now the league ratings are not ideal, the league’s income is not very ideal, and the Lakers OK combination that the league previously favored has not brought the expected benefits to the league.

Unintentionally planted willows and willows, and now LI from the Celestial Empire has been born, but it has brought very considerable benefits to the alliance.

And LI just scored 72 points in the playoffs with the Suns, breaking the NBA playoff scoring record, you say we can mold LI into the new king of the NBA. ”

Stern did not directly express his opinion, but instead chatted with Xiao Hua in a family-style manner, and Stern was also interested in examining Xiao Hua.

“President, LI is not a player in the United States, he is a Celestial Empire player, and his super popularity, including being able to become the ticket king of the NBA All-Star Game, is caused by the huge base of fans of the Celestial Empire.

I don’t think LI can help the league more than the Lakers’ OK combination helps the league. ”

Xiao Hua has always had discriminatory thoughts about the Celestial Empire in his heart, and he does not value the Celestial Empire market very much.

“Xiao Hua, but the ratings of the first round of the NBA playoffs have come out, and the ratings of the Kings’ game against the Suns are more than double that of the second-place Lakers, doesn’t that still explain the problem?”

Stern’s tone was slightly aggravated.

“President, in my opinion, the Kings’ ratings are so high, a large part of the reason is due to the large number of fans in the Celestial Empire, which does not mean that the Kings are also so popular in the United States.

In my opinion, the Lakers are the most popular team for American fans. ”

Xiao Hua insisted on his own opinion.

“Xiao Hua, the NBA league is ultimately a business league, it is a business, its most important purpose is to make money, as for the rest, it is the subsidiary value attached to making money.

The Celestial Empire has a huge number of fans and an untapped market, which is the key to our league’s next take-off. ”

After all, Xiao Hua is the key successor personally selected by Stern, so Stern also spares no effort in cultivating Xiao Hua.

Stern bitterly taught Xiao Hua that for the NBA league, making money is the first thing.

Of course, in Stern’s view, his training is to ensure that Xiao Hua will continue to enforce the rules he insisted on when he was in the league after he retires.

Stern will never find a successor who will overturn all the policies of his reign after coming to power.
