Due to the league's bizarre rules, the regional champion must be in the top three of the division, which led to this situation.
At this stage every year, it is the period of complaints from fans, which was originally just complaints from local fans in the United States in previous years, after all, overseas fans rarely have a sense of belonging to NBA teams, most of them are winning honey, and they think which team is strong and plays very good, or this player has very strong personal ability, and the data is better than most people, which makes them admire.
These teams and stars that overseas fans adore are either super teams, division champions, or lonely struggles on the edge of the playoffs with the team, which has nothing to do with the rule that the first team in this division must be ranked in the top three.
But this season's situation is a little different, as the emerging market of the United States, China, the largest overseas cake, this year Chinese fans have a new fan group - Ye Han's fan group, and Yao Ming's fan group has become the two largest fan groups in China.
Unlike Yao Ming's fans, most of whom are emotionally attached to their home and country, Ye Han is from a wild road, and most fans fall in love with his personal heroism and his scoring ability.
Now, both fan groups are protesting the NBA's rule on regional champions.
No way, who said that both the lynx and the rocket have become victims of this rule this year.
The Rockets are now fifth in the West at 45-28, the SuperSonics are third in the West at 39-32, and in fourth place are the Mavericks, who are highly likely to get 60 wins.
According to the current ranking, the Rockets' playoff opponent will be the Mavericks, and there will be basically no better situation, if the Mavericks' record surpasses the Spurs, then the Rockets' opponent in the first round will become the Spurs, and it is better to play the Mavericks.
And the Mavericks are not easy to play, after the head coach changed from Nelson Sr. to Avery Johnson, after a few short adjustments, he played a wave of ten consecutive wins, and his record can compete with the Suns and Spurs.
If there were no rule that the regional champion must be in the top three, the Rockets' opponents would be superSonics, and even the teams that are now ranked lower would be in a completely different position.
On the Bobcats' side, it's actually okay, no matter how it is arranged, the first round is either against the Bulls or the Wizards, and they have a battle advantage, and the second round is basically a member of the Heat and Pistons, which is more tragic.
At the NBA headquarters in New York, NBA commissioner David Stern also has a headache, and has recently received a lot of letters of advice from across the ocean, most of which are related to this regional system.
Unlike the local fans in the United States who complain every year, but decades have passed, they are used to this system, and even like to complain about these things every year, those Chinese fans will spray when they disagree!
"Adam, look at this, what do you think of this problem?" Stern handed over the letter of recommendation from the players' union and the NBA Legislature to Vice President Adam Silva, his highly-anticipated successor.
Silva frowned and looked at it for a while, then suddenly smiled: "David, I want to leave it alone for the time being."
Stern nodded satisfactorily when he heard Silva's answer: "That's right, you and I think the same thing, and it's our job to be scolded." ”
For this kind of thing, NBA executives will certainly consider the feelings of fans, but it is still not so easy to change anything.
As China's largest market outside of the NBA, their opinions cannot be ignored, but this regional system cannot be undermined, if the regional champion does not play any role, then what is the point of dividing it into six major regions?
And fans will always have to inch in, if the competition area system is canceled, they will definitely be dissatisfied with the fact that the west is strong and the east is weak, and they will demand that the division be abolished.
In the eyes of fans, these demands are removing some unreasonable rules and making the NBA fairer, and the NBA officials can understand it.
But it's the management of those teams that thinks it's unfair, right, but why do the management of those teams put up with this rule all the time? Their opinions are far more useful than the complaints of the fans!
'We need to make changes as much as possible for the sake of fairness, but our first goal is to maximise the interests of the team. Our 30 teams are too scattered, almost all over the United States, and the purpose of dividing the divisions and divisions is to reduce the distance the team can travel away, if the Bobcats play the Lakers the same number of times as the Bobcats play the Hawks, it seems fair, but the cost of time and various expenses is obviously more than the cost of playing the Lakers, and the actual benefits of the Bobcats have not changed at all. "Our source of income is still too single, most of it is still based on ticket revenue, most of the teams are losing money, and if the division is removed, the loss will be even greater." ”
"I've had a lot of brands contact me and want us to advertise our jerseys, and this could be our chance to turn a profit!" Adam Silva proposed.
Adam Silva is in charge of the league's commercial operations and was thrilled to see that football, rugby and baseball, all of the highest-paying sports were making a lot of money from jersey advertising.
"Don't worry, we're far from the time to touch this cake." Stern laughed and vetoed the suggestion.
Not yet? Silva doesn't quite understand that perhaps most loss-making teams will make a profit by advertising their shirts.
Still too young! Stern let Silva go down first, without much explanation.
Silva leaned against the NBA map hanging on the wall, his eyes fixed on the gold of the West Coast, thinking that this team would be the first to jump out and reject the jersey ad, right? That wise old stubbornness, this jersey advertising plan doesn't want to succeed.
Stern once again turned his gaze back to the letter of advice on the table, now that the players and the work, as well as the legislators hired by the league's official hires, are dissatisfied with the regional championship system, then make a little change in due time!
But not this year.
……
At Harvard University, Ye Han is attending a lecture in the Department of Psychology majoring in Spirituality.
Hearing the sound of whispering behind him and pressing the shutter of the camera, Ye Han was unmoved and listened attentively to the lecture.
However, Ye Han was still a little dissatisfied, why didn't this professor care about whether the students were paying attention to the lecture or not.
But he didn't pay much attention to it, he just took advantage of the break to come here to audit, this is Harvard University, when I was a child in elementary school in China, the Chinese teacher said that the best university in the world, it is really good to be able to come and audit.
Psychology courses are always so interesting, Ye Han's major in university is soul science, and his grades are not bad, which is why he is so homely, and he can be so calm and cold on the court and rarely be disturbed by the opponent's heart, because he studied this.
Who would have thought that when he first chose a major, this brain-opening choice of a fun major actually benefited him a lot in his career...... (To be continued.) )
