After Iverson, Martial Saint Jackson also stood up, on the one hand, Big Brother Silafayette stood up, and he echoed.

On the other hand, this thing is also a little quick-tempered, and this kind of obvious ban on blacks, his temper must not be able to stand it.

As a result, after these two people stood up, the West Lafayette gang responded one after another, and Kobe, Xiao Ao, Big Ben and other supergiants of the alliance all expressed their dissatisfaction.

These team bigwigs have come forward, and their teammates will definitely show their heartfelt intentions, and they have also joined the ranks of boycotts.

The reason why all the West Lafayette players collectively expressed their dissatisfaction was because of the West Lafayette gold medal.

This gold medal is of great significance to the West Lafayette players, and on some important occasions, many West Lafayette players like to wear the gold medal and put it on their chests......

Once this ban is in place, the Silafayette gold medal will no longer be able to be worn in public.

This is where the West Lafayette group is most resistant.

To everyone's surprise, even Spurs boss Duncan publicly expressed his dissatisfaction with the ban.

"This ban is absolutely impossible!"

"I'm not going to go into the stadium in a suit!"

"I would never buy a tie......"

In a series of waves, Duncan didn't know what the hell was, and the degree of resistance to this ban was no less than that of the West Lafayette group.

Of course, future generations of fans know that this ban was successful, and Duncan also wore a suit, but the tie was the only thing, and Duncan really never played in his life.

Whether it was a visit to the White House to meet the president after winning the championship, or a solemn retirement ceremony, Dudge had never worn a tie, and no one knew what he thought.

If someone resists, someone naturally agrees.

In contrast to Duncan's eccentric boycott is Francis, the maverick rocket guarantor, who was very much in favor of the ban.

The originally calm regular season schedule has been turbulent because of this matter, and as long as it is a post-game press conference, this topic will always be discussed.

The West Lafayette gang strongly united against it, and Stern was overwhelmed.

If it was just three or two players jumping out, then Stern could directly ignore it, but now there are too many players jumping out, which directly makes the implementation of this ban encounter extremely huge resistance.

You must know that it is more than two-thirds of the players in the league who oppose him, and this group is really a bit too large.

Under normal circumstances, Stern's introduction of a dress code in the 05-06 season was met with opposition, with some players standing up for a boycott, but the situation was far less dramatic than it is now.

……

NBA headquarters, inside Stern's office.

"Mr. President, I think I should go to Richard for help in this matter." The bald Xiao Hua sat across from Stern and said with a wry smile.

"What? Ask Richard for help?! Don't even think about it! Stern directly rejected Xiao Hua's proposal.

At the moment, players from all sides are boycotting, and the West Lafayette gang occupies the main force in it, as long as the West Lafayette gang is dealt with, then this matter will be easy to do.

Now Richard has not publicly stated his position on the dress code, and if he can speak up to persuade the West Lafayette gang, then there will be much less resistance to the implementation of this matter.

Stern is not stupid, and he knows very well that Richard can exert great energy, but he can't pull this face.

"Mr. President, you and I are well aware of the necessity of a dress code, which will be of great benefit to the future development of the NBA."

"And Richard can definitely help us, if you really don't want to talk to it, why don't I talk to Richard......"

Xiao Hua saw that Stern sternly refused to ask Richard for help, so he had no choice but to take over the job himself.

"I know Richard too well, and while I know very well that Richard can help us enforce the dress code, Richard will definitely put forward conditions." Stern's brows furrowed into twists, and he said with an unhappy expression.

There is no doubt that Richard's current behavior is quite unusual.

In normal times, this kind of fun must be indispensable to Richard, and now Richard is so quiet, if you want to say that Richard has no conspiracy, he doesn't believe it when he kills Stern.

"I'll go find out the situation first, and if his offer is not too much, we can promise him."

……

The implementation of the dress code is imperative, at least in the eyes of Stern and Xiao Hua.

Allowing this street culture to run rampant across the league would definitely have a huge negative impact on the commercial value of the NBA.

Street culture is not accessible to everyone, especially elite white people with higher education......

It is precisely these white people who are the main consumers of the NBA league.

If he can change the mental outlook of the NBA, Stern feels that the future of the league will definitely be brighter.

……

Detroit, inside Richard's office.

Xiao Hua personally came to Detroit from New York and expressed his greatest sincerity to Richard.

His feelings for Richard were not as extreme as Stern's.

Stern was eager to kill Richard, but he Xiao Hua felt that Richard's existence was a good thing for the NBA league.

"Lee, I haven't seen you in some days." Xiao Hua sat relaxed across from Richard, like an old friend he hadn't seen for a long time.

"Didn't we meet again last time we won the championship?" Richard rolled his eyes and said.

Xiao Hua said directly, how did he mention winning the championship.

……

Today, Xiao Hua came to find himself, and with Richard's IQ, he easily guessed Xiao Hua's purpose.

What is the hottest topic in the league today? Naturally, it's a dress code......

At this point in time, Xiao Hua came to find him, which was undoubtedly related to the dress code.

When Richard learned from Davidson Sr. that the dress code had been implemented earlier, he had actually anticipated today's situation.

Under normal circumstances, although Iverson strongly opposes it, he is only one person after all, who can only represent himself, and not many people support him.

But now, he stood up, and as his big brother in West Lafayette, he directly led a group of little brothers to the front, which made Stern very annoying.

Knowing Xiao Hua's purpose, Richard directly became sloppy.

It's not that Richard wasn't prepared to get involved in this, he definitely wanted to get involved in this kind of excitement, and he also had to do something he had always wanted to do.

"Adam, why are you here in Detroit today? Has the League introduced Richard's Law No. 4? ”

"There's no need to tell me about this kind of thing, just be happy with yourself."

Richard's tone was a little yin and yang.

Xiao Hua smiled bitterly, Richard was definitely demonstrating to express his dissatisfaction.

It's normal to think about it, it's good, and suddenly three rules named after themselves pop up, and anyone will be dissatisfied.

The key is that none of these three rules are glorious rules......

"Lee, you're a smart man, and you're sure you'll know why I'm coming to Detroit today."

"Why don't we talk straight to the point, how can you help us enforce the dress code."

'You should know very well that it's not a bad thing for the players, for the league. Xiao Hua went straight to the point.

But what made his teeth itch with hatred was that Richard waved his hand and said indifferently: "Man, you must have found the wrong person when you came to me for this matter." ”

"What does the boycott of the players have to do with me, you don't think that these players are instigated by me to boycott, right?"

"Only one of our Pistons Clark has said anything about boycotting the dress code, and I can help you persuade Clarke, but as for the others, I can't help but forgive me."

Xiao Hua is going crazy, he didn't expect Richard's face to be so thick, and he will pretend to be crazy and stupid at this point in time.

"Li, tell me, what are your conditions?"

"If the conditions are not too excessive, our management committee will consider agreeing to you."

Hearing this, Richard was happy in his heart, and he was waiting for Xiao Hua's words.

Dress code, Richard actually felt that Stern was doing the right thing.

As Xiao Hua said, this matter is of great benefit to the alliance......

If you can make the league more money, it will naturally be good for the players.

Who can guarantee that the broadcast income of the Alliance in the future will rise sharply, and it has nothing to do with this dress code?

It doesn't hurt a player to make more wages.

And this dress code does not mean that you really have to wear formal clothes, as long as it is not too street culture, and the clothes are long-sleeved collars, the general alliance can also accept it.

For example, Wei Shao in later generations is not wearing bells and whistles......

Therefore, Richard supports this dress code in his heart, after all, he will also become the owner of a team in the future, and he can't resist this kind of thing that is harmless to the players and beneficial to the league.

The reason why Richard is not clear now is to get some benefits from Stern.

"That's what you say, don't give me a co-player against the league and then go around ruining my reputation." Richard said with a grin.

Xiao Hua is going to vomit blood and ruin your reputation with Richard? You Richard have a reputation for......

Do you still need us to corrupt?!

Xiao Hua waved his hand and motioned to Richard to hurry up and say the conditions.

"I can help you with this, but you have to cancel Richard's Law No. 3."

"And we have to cancel the system that the All-Star head coach can't be re-elected."

Richard was very humble about his conditions......

This had been in Richard's plan for a long time, and he was waiting for this moment.

Next season, he will take over the Charlotte Pirates with Jordan, and he will not be able to be the head coach of the team due to Richard's rule of three.

In this case, some of the rewards of the All-Star Weekend will not be available to you.

All-Star Weekend is an important way for Richard to harvest system props, and if this route is cut off, Richard will definitely lose a lot.
