Chapter 66: The Problem of Vision

I thought it was an opportunity, but in fact, I fell into a trap......

If Stern knew the lyrics, he would have wanted to sing it out loud at the moment.

When human beings are angry and in estrus, their IQ is basically equal to zero, and many people know this scientific conclusion, but few people combine this conclusion with practical application particularly well.

David? Stern though not Tim? Duncan's kind of trash talk seduces others to rise in anger, and he can always maintain a "clear heart, the sky does not fall" psychology master, but similar tricks are not used in the process of taking charge of the NBA.

Caesar is a fan of Jordan, and Stern has long known it from Jordan in a way that is a cliché, so this time Caesar came to the door completely in Stern's expectations.

Caesar was making coffee when he entered his office, and then the slow-paced conversation in Guò made the already angry Caesar lose his ability to make rational judgment, so that Caesar agreed to a position of so-called power that was clearly being exploited.

Of course, Stern was disappointed, and Caesar's anger came and went as fast as it came. No matter how bad a person's temper is, he has already lived two lifetimes, and he has lived to a dog for more than 50 years?

He just doesn't like the Pistons' injury-based way of playing, and that doesn't mean he's going to wipe out the team's villains from the NBA, even though he has the influence and strength now......

Why is sports classified as an entertainment industry? Why is it so popular? Because many times it represents a certain kind of fairness of Cheng dù.

The talent is not enough, the training is not hard, the tactics are not flexible, and the strength of this qiē is not as good as that of others, that is, the strength is not as good as that of people.

With the odds of an upset in many team events like winning the lottery jackpot, it's hard to believe that a ninth-tier football team can beat the likes of Real Madrid, Barcelona, Manchester United and Milan.

It's a ridiculous thought that comes to mind, and the FA Cup myth of Crazy Wimbledon is because it's not as far away from its opponents as it might think. As well as the light enemy of the opponent.

And the reason why the myth of the mad gang is a myth is that, as mentioned earlier, it is really a low-probability event of the lotto jackpot, and even if it is played again the next day according to the original team, it is estimated that it will lose four or five goals.

Of course, the fairness of the sports world is due to the backwardness of the penalty system and the penetration of commercialization and the betting industry. There will also be some less glamorous situations gradually, even shady.

For example, the misjudgment of the "Hand of God" in 1986, the collective sleepwalking of the Brazilian team in the final match in 1998, and the Korean team on the way to the semi-finals in 2002, the referee had various temporary blindness and paroxysmal psychosis......

These may seem like things that may be very upset for Argentine fans, French fans, and South Korean fans, but when FIFA broke out in a huge shady scandal, those controversial decisions and strange stadium tables could no longer find a fig leaf.

Even the so-called can't run to death of the Korean team running wildly all over the field, now it seems that if it weren't for doping, it would really be called a roaring dog.

Do you want the Korean players to try that kind of full game in a notary game environment? Regardless of whether you drink Wang Ba soup or Korean ginseng, can you replicate this physical fitness table again?

Even the top of the South Korean government has admitted it himself. 02 World Cup South Korean Football Federation engaged in a black whistle, which shows that the sanctity of the World Cup has been completely tarnished.

In the face of so many lessons from the past, since Caesar has decided to intervene in the sports industry, especially after the decision to buy the Lakers, he definitely does not want the NBA team to become a distribution center for villains, hooligans, faggot and gangsters, and he does not want the league's referees to become the black whistle tool of the bookmaker for money.

Most importantly, Stern must not become the impulsive CEO who will change the rules with his eyes closed in order to promote the alliance, and eventually praise the newcomers.

Why? Why is Caesar so concerned about the overall structure of the NBA? Because of the ratings.

In his previous life, Caesar had seen a chart given by the NBA. It shows a graph of ratings from 1987 to 2015.

It is clearly depicted on it, before the finals of the 2014-2015 season. The 1998 Bulls vs. Jazz Finals was the highest ratings peak, reaching a terrifying 29 points.

Then Jordan retired, and the ratings of the entire NBA began to show a phased, diving decline, and the 2007 Spurs vs Cavaliers even fell below 7 points, only a pitiful 6.2......

Until the 2014-2015 season. The NBA's live ratings surpassed that of the 1998 War of the Gods.

Of course, there are reasons why live media is not limited to TV, but is diverted by the Internet, but even if it is diverted, it is impossible to fall from an average of 20+ to only 6.2 Cheng dù, which must have hidden deeper reasons in addition to Jordan's retirement.

For the sake of ratings. Stern has continuously revised the rules, revised the penalty scale, and adjusted the salary cap, but the results have had little effect, and even the ratings are getting lower and lower until the NBA is suspended again.

As a broadcaster, the NBA shutdown means there are no games to broadcast, which is a huge loss for the broadcaster, especially the Fox sports channel.

You know, FOX's sports channel is a new channel under the auspices of Caesar, and it is basically impossible to fight for the broadcast rights of football, baseball and even ice hockey, and the number of football audiences in the United States is only worth a "hehe".

The NBA is a piece of fat that has just been developed, and since Caesar has bitten it, he will not talk about it, not to mention that the Lakers are also determined to win the acquisition target.

So, how to tie this sports league to its own interests, and how to maximize the influence and profitability of this league?

That's why Caesar always can't help but want to intervene, not to mention that he's still a fan.

The so-called "I am willing to buy a thousand dollars" and "I don't like it if you blow it out" are the two most powerful reasons in the world.

Stern faintly discovered this "weakness" of Kaisa, and will use the right way to treat Kaisa.

Which Cheng thought, Caesar directly "flipped the table" and began to play hooligan.

Didn't you bully me when I was young and angry, and take advantage of my little bit?

Caesar said come on, I'm spending it with you today.

Even lunch was made by Caesar when Stern called the two little girls upstairs and ate them in Stern's office.

After the meal, the two of them were arguing, and Little Liv was not interested, so she simply took out the prototype of Caesar's latest handheld machine and played on the side, but little Kailin's eyes lit up and looked at the two "old foxes" who were playing there, one big and one small, and her little face was full of excitement and expectation.

By the time Caesar had achieved his goal and left with the two little girls and the bodyguards, it was almost dinner time.

Stern watched Caesar enter the elevator and waited for the staff and secretary to walk away before he sighed deeply.

Seeing that he was about to turn fifty and was forced to fight with this young man in his early twenties, Stern had to admire that Caesar's impromptu negotiation was absolutely a stroke of genius.

The outcome of the negotiation is often influenced by the physical condition of the negotiator, and this rule has been counted.

Even in the "Munich Agreement" before World War II, the negotiations between British Prime Minister Chamberlain and the German mustache were basically completely suppressed, and many people defended Chamberlain, using the reason of Chamberlain's "negotiation with illness", and finally led to a comprehensive appeasement policy.

Whether Caesar knew this allusion or not, he relied on his youth to fully suppress Stern's counterattack at the negotiating table.

This is also the "love and concubine" of both Caesar and Stern, both of whom sincerely want to cooperate with each other, otherwise, Stern would not let Caesar succeed so easily.

It's a big deal to pretend to be sick on the spot, go to the ground, drag out the negotiation for a few days, and wear away your temporary momentum, can you still pick me up on the spot and fight you to death?

Unfortunately, Stern didn't do that, and he didn't want to.

Isn't it just buying the Lakers? It's not the entire NBA league, it's just a team, can you still play flowers?

As for the issue of Kaisati yì setting up a training camp for Chinese players and joining Xuanxiu Pool every year, it is not a problem in Stern's eyes.

The question is, what's so good about the Chinese players? Why do I want NBA teams to train Chinese players?

Stern's vision at this time can never see the future market of Huaxia, when he went to Huaxia to promote the NBA in the last year of the eighties, that mentality was really just for promotion, and his emphasis on the Huaxia market was completely not as important as when Dazhizhi and Da Yao Yao landed in the NBA after the millennium.

Because in the late 80s and early 90s, except for a very few far-sighted Westerners, no one could see any possibility for China to become the world's largest market.

Some people will say that China has a demographic advantage...... Please refer to the Asan family next door, even in 2015, they did not tap any demographic dividend.

So the two people who have the most water war is what Stern said, "Huaxia? Why do we give them players? (To be continued......)

ps: I'm really sorry, because I went to the airport to pick up, and then it was a reception banquet...... I got home too late, and the time was really a little insufficient, not to mention that I drank a lot.

That's it now~ I have to catch up on sleep quickly, otherwise the jet lag will be messed up.

Thank you all for your cheers and bow down.
