Last year, due to Wang Yi's huge influence, the NBA signed huge broadcast contracts with various broadcasters, which caused the NBA's salary cap to rise significantly.
Players' salaries have also increased significantly.
But after Wang Yi retired this year,
The NBA has lost more than $2 billion.
The bosses are making less money, so naturally they are unwilling to pay high wages to the players.
It also coincides with a new round of labor negotiations in the NBA.
We have had four rounds of talks, but nothing has come to an end.
If we still can't negotiate, the NBA will have to shut down.
The so-called labor negotiations are negotiations between the NBA's labor and management every six years on income sharing, contract length, salary cap and many other issues.
To put it simply, it is actually a negotiation between employees and bosses on the issue of profit sharing.
If the boss earns more, he will give the players more points, so of course it will be easier to negotiate.
But if the owners make less money, they will naturally be unwilling to give players too high a share.
Of course the players were not happy.
This will lead to rounds of negotiations. If the negotiations still fail, the NBA will be shut down.
If the NBA were to shut down, it would not just be a simple loss of tens of billions of dollars.
The entire NBA's huge industrial chain will be greatly affected.
Moreover, the middle and lower-level players in the NBA are most threatened during the lockout.
Because if the NBA is suspended, they will have no salary to draw, and many low-level players will fall into an extremely difficult situation.
This year's labor negotiations were supposed to be easily settled, because with Wang Yi here, the bosses are making a lot of money and are willing to pay high wages to the players.
But now that Wang Yi has retired, the bosses have suffered too much, so it will be difficult to proceed with the labor negotiations.
Thinking of this, Xiao Hua glanced at Wang Yi in the camera and cursed again.
"That idiot Michael Arthur!"
Xiao Hua was scolding Michael Arthur, and Michael Arthur was also very depressed.
First of all, the lawyer team of Zhang San, an outlaw maniac, is really difficult to deal with.
After three hearings, my lawyers were basically powerless to fight back.
There will be two more hearings, and if the matter is still unresolved, I will have to compensate Wang Yi for the house.
You may even have to pay liquidated damages.
This is still secondary.
The main ones are:
He originally thought that after Wang Yi retired, with his ability, he would naturally become the top brother in the NBA, the most influential player in the NBA, and the golden signature of the NBA.
But I never expected that Wang Yi's retirement would have such a huge impact. Now the labor negotiations are not reaching an agreement and are even facing the possibility of a shutdown.
You must know that all of Michael Arthur's value was created on the NBA court. If the NBA is suspended now, his so-called talent, his strength, and his value will not be realized.
Thinking of this, Michael Arthur was extremely depressed.
That guy Wang Yi always pushed him hard when he was in the NBA, and now he finally found a way to force that guy to retire, but he didn't expect that he was now in danger of losing his job.
Where the hell is this going to make sense?
At this time in Yoyogi Park.
After Wang Yi dunked the ball, he waited for the ball to bounce, grabbed the ball with one hand, and handed it to the tree standing stupidly next to him.
Dashu was still a little confused.
Wang Yi is really too strong.
But then he steeled himself and comforted himself secretly.
Although Wang Yi is strong, he was hiding from himself when he dunked just now.
He doesn't dare to compete with himself in the air at all, so as long as he waits under the basket, if he wants to dunk, he will give him an aerial confrontation, and his take-off height and strength will inevitably be affected.
Next it was Yoyogi's turn to attack.
This time, after Mitsui got the ball, he did not forcefully challenge Wang Yi.
He knew from Wang Yi's defense just now that he had no advantage in front of Wang Yi. If he wanted to defeat Wang Yi, only the three of them would cooperate with each other.
So he took the ball and made a fake shot.
Then he passed the ball directly to Suzuki who cut from the side.
After Suzuki got the ball, he did not go straight for a layup, but slowed down slightly. He wanted to see Wang Yi's reaction before making a decision.
At this time, Wang Yi took a few steps back inside and stepped on the free throw line.
In this way, whether Suzuki passes to the outside or inside, or he makes a layup himself, Wang Yi may delay their offense.
When Suzuki saw this, he immediately made a layup.
Shen Yan's supernatural power cannot guard against Suzuki.
Firstly, he is not as strong as Suzuki physically, and secondly, he is far inferior to Suzuki in terms of basketball skills and movements.
So Suzuki went inside after breaking through Shen Yanchao.
When Wang Yi came to block him, he backhand passed the ball to Mitsui on the outside.
Mitsui looked at the ball flying towards him, with a smile on his face.
Even if Wang Yi could fly this ball, he would not have time to block himself.
However, at this moment, when the ball was about to fly into his hand, Shen Yanchao shot out of the diagonal thrust and intercepted the ball directly from the air.
It turns out that this is a routine that Wang Yi has often played with Shen Yanchao since junior high school.
Every time he plays, because Wang Yi performs very well, the opponent's attention is on Wang Yi and often ignores Shen Yanchao.
Shen Yanchao bursts out from the corner where no one is paying attention. With his explosive power and speed, he can often steal the ball easily.
Just now, Shen Chaoyan watched Wang Yi go inside to block the shot, and the opponent was likely to pass to the outside, so he ambush on the passing route in advance. When the opponent passed the ball, he reached out and easily intercepted the ball. .
Shen Yanchao broke Suzuki's ball, which made Suzuki very angry.
If you want to ask what is most annoying on the court, one is being blocked by the opponent, and the other is being intercepted by the opponent.
What's more, it was intercepted by a guy who was a pure passer-by.
So Suzuki immediately pounced on Shen Yanchao.
At the same time, Mitsui on the outside also pounced on Shen Yanchao.
When Shen Yanchao saw the two guys rushing towards him, he quickly took two steps back.
At this time, Wang Yi and Dashu were on the inside.
Wang Yi saw the two men double-teaming Shen Yanchao. With Shen Yanchao's level, it would be difficult for him to make a pass if he was really surrounded.
So he pointed at the sky to Shen Yanchao.
He shouted loudly: "Chao'er!"
Shen Yanchao understood immediately.
We used to play ball together when we were in school. Although Wang Yi's talent at that time was not as abnormal as it is now, it was already considered unbelievable among students.
Whenever Wang Yi was under the basket, he would always call Chao'er, and Shen Yanchao would immediately throw the ball to the basket.
Even if the opponent has players taller than Wang Yi, they are not as abnormal as Wang Yi's bounce.
So as long as Wang Yi is under the basket, he will throw the basket without deciding on foreign affairs and throw to the basket without deciding on internal matters.
So Shen Yanchao did the same thing this time, throwing the ball high and toward the basket.
When the big tree opposite saw this, he couldn't help but roared: "Who are you looking down on?!"
Then take off directly and catch the ball in the air.
He is nearly 30 centimeters taller than Wang Yi.
Now that the other party wants to cooperate like this in front of him, it is simply an insult to him.
