"What? Doesn't this mean that the NBA lockout will end soon?"
"What are you doing! We have invested so much this season, and several major clubs have also spent a lot of money. Are we going to let those stars go now?"
"No, absolutely not. Do you want to risk your life? You can't let the stars who signed the contract go. We have to wait until they finish this season..."
For a time, there was a lot of discussion in the Basketball Association meeting room.
Seeing everyone in such a panic, Yao Ming, who was the backbone of the group, also shouted, "What are you doing? This is a meeting! Why are you arguing?"
As soon as he said this, the scene gradually became quiet.
"The Basketball Association is not a bandit. It is impossible for it to do such a thing. If it does this, who will dare to come to the CBA to play in the future?"
Yao Ming said.
"But we can't just watch them leave! If this is the case, what will happen to the second half of the game? Without these stars, fans may not buy tickets..."
"That's right. Anyway, these people broke the rules first, so what happens if we break the rules?"
"I have invested so much and suddenly retreated? I'm afraid the fans will not be satisfied if this continues! I don't expect to keep everyone, but some players must stay, such as Zhao Feiyang... He is originally Huaxia players, who came from the youth training system in the past, can be regarded as people trained by our Huaxia basketball..."
"Since he was trained by us, we are qualified to let him finish the season here."
As soon as the senior executive's topic turned to Zhao Feiyang, others immediately aroused their agreement. Obviously, many senior officials of the Basketball Association agreed with what this senior executive said. Even if they did not speak out, their attitudes were inclined to handle it this way.
But Yao Ming still disagrees with this.
"We can't do it like this. Zhao Feiyang's influence is very powerful all over the world. If we do this now, not only will no players dare to come to the CBA in the future, but our players will probably no longer think about playing for the national team. ....”
"What are you afraid of? Isn't he just Zhao Feiyang? What's so great about him? He is very good abroad, but here is China. Since he is a Chinese player, we have many ways to deal with him! Chairman Yao, if you think this matter is difficult to handle, just I'll go out and take care of it, and I promise to take care of this kid..."
"That's right. He has an annual salary of 20 million, which is not a small amount of money. What's wrong with helping the local league play for a while? Isn't it just a delay to go to the NBA for a while? He is a Chinese and should play for China Basketball. , why do you always focus on money in everything?"
"You can't be too Zhao Feiyang as a person. If a Chinese basketball player can't even shoulder such a responsibility, then I think he really has no value to Chinese basketball... If he chooses to refuse, then he can No need to enter the Chinese Men’s Basketball Team to play games!”
"China has never been short of talents. Even if you, Michael Jordan, come, you have to toast this glass of wine here first..."
"I can't deal with the American foreign aid, so I can't deal with you, Zhao Feiyang?"
For a time, the high-level meeting room of the Basketball Association was filled with excitement. Zhao Feiyang didn't do anything, but his identity made these senior officials have a strange view of him.
Yao Ming watched all this silently, and in the end he said nothing.
Considering that these matters may not be discussed at the conference and the results may not be reached, Yao Ming chose to end the meeting early. After the meeting, he also called all his confidants to the office for a private chat.
At the same time, the news that the NBA labor and management parties had drafted a contract was quickly exposed through the news.
When NBA players learned that the lockout might end soon, a group of people, both players and stars, excitedly checked in on social media.
"Oh! It's finally over! Hope there will be a great season!"
LeBron James said on social media.
Stephen Curry liked his post and retweeted it while commenting, "It will definitely have a great start! LeBron, I'm already looking forward to playing against you!"
Kevin Durant also forwarded Curry's words and expressed his own thoughts.
"I'm looking forward to this season. It's a new season and it's definitely a milestone in my career."
Russell Westbrook seemed to dislike Durant's behavior. Although he did not forward it, he commented on the relevant news, "Some people should just drink the black widow's bath water! The person who surrendered to the enemy finally waited for him. 's new season, a new season on how he joins a championship team..."
Stars expressed their opinions one after another, and Zhao Feiyang also responded immediately to Dwight Howard, Zach LaVine and others.
"Guys, are you ready?"
"Our new season is coming! How are you doing now? I don't want to see you enter the gym to train with your belly full..."
LaVine quickly responded to Zhao Feiyang and posted photos of his muscles.
Howard replied with a photo of himself having a party at home, and deliberately said in a funny way, "Oh! Don't worry, the new season hasn't started yet, we still have enough time, come to my house to let it go! I promise you guys Everyone will like it..."
After the stars all applauded, the NBA officially issued an announcement the next day, stating that a new contract between the two parties was being drafted and the new season would definitely start soon.
As soon as the NBA announced the announcement, some relevant media also began to reveal the details of the negotiations and released some of the contract terms drawn up by the two parties.
The players were overjoyed when they learned the news, because the players' salaries have been increased to varying degrees in the new labor contract, which means they can get more money in their next contract.
At the same time, all the CBA players who came to China temporarily also had different ideas.
Of course, the first person to announce his departure was JR. Smith.
Originally, the team's record was not that good, and his purpose was just to make money, so when he knew that the new NBA season was about to start, he immediately told the team that he wanted to go back.
The Zhejiang team did not stop him, and made it clear that he would be released, and at the same time paid JR the wages he had earned for participating in the game.
The second person to decide to leave was Norris Cole.
His contract is worth a lot of money, but unfortunately the team's record is not what the management expected. Therefore, when he decided to leave, the management readily chose to let him go.
After all, playing one less game means paying less for one game, which is also good for the team.
As soon as these two people left, other players undoubtedly became restless.
Jeremy Lin, who was signed by the Sharks, was the third person to stand up and make a statement. He originally signed a temporary contract, so there was no obstacle to leaving.
However, when he decided to leave, the fans of the Pearl Team sent not blessings, but overwhelming curses, which even made related news appear on the hot search list.
"Jeremy Lin, this jerk, has no contract spirit!"
"Come here whenever you want and leave whenever you want. Do you think this is a nursing home?"
"I said I shouldn't have signed this white-eyed wolf in the first place, and now I'm thinking about going back before the regular season is over! If everyone is like him, why bother playing? If it weren't for the fact that this guy has Chinese blood in his ancestors, who would be so crazy about supporting him? he?"
