Chapter 391: The General Trend (1st Update)
Min Congda got the news on the morning of December 8 while watching the morning news on Fox TV.
He, like all NBA insiders, was shocked, because no one expected the collective bargaining to be deadly.
Min Congda immediately convened an emergency meeting of the team and asked all Clippers executives to go to the headquarters to discuss the matter while making a phone call with the NBA headquarters to understand the situation in New York.
This is the first emergency meeting held by Min Congda since he became the owner of the Clippers, which is enough to show that this matter is very important, because Min Congda feels that as soon as Donasee dies, things are out of control.
Labor negotiations may have deteriorated further because of Donasi's death, but it is also likely that because of Donasi's death, a whole new situation has been introduced.
In the Clipper conference room, Min Congda frowned and said nothing, and Rosser and Olsie and others expressed their thoughts.
"Who's going to do it? This incident will definitely go down in the history books of the NBA, and it is hard to imagine that such a thing will happen. ”
"Could it be that the president sent someone..."
"Don't talk nonsense, I don't think it's possible, Stern doesn't need to take this risk."
"Yes, Stern is at the center of a storm of public opinion, and he is digging his own grave in doing so."
"But I think the president must have aged many years and didn't expect this to happen."
"Actually, in private, it's a good thing for everyone that Donassee is dead."
The NBA's most recent fatal lawsuit was actually found in the forest outside of Memphis last year, July 2010, when the body of former Grizzlies star Lorenzen Wright was found in the forest outside of Memphis.
According to police confirmation, Wright died in murder, but who exactly killed the retired NBA star is unknown for the time being.
There is also a retired NBA player, Bison Dele, formerly known as Brian Williams.
He played for the Chicago Bulls, won a championship ring with Jordan, and played in the NBA for 8 years.
As a result, after retiring, in 2002, when he went to sea with his girlfriend and brother, he was shot dead by his brother Kevin Williams, and his girlfriend was killed together.
His brother's motive appears to be to swallow his property, but Kevin died of a drug overdose shortly after his arrest, and the truth is unknown.
However, these two incidents can be regarded as ordinary criminal murders, and there is a high probability that they were murdered for money, for money.
Donathy's death, on the other hand, was very different, with a strong sense of intrigue and politics.
Min told everyone to stop the speculation, and then in a conference call with the New York League headquarters, Adam Silva asked the team to do a good job of public relations.
The impact of the Donasi incident is minimized as much as possible.
After the conference call, Min Congda said to everyone: "Get ready for the start of the new season, do whatever you want." ”
Rob Riccelle asked: "Mr. Smart, are you sure that the new season will start?" ”
Min Congda said: "I'm very sure, listen to me, what should I do." ”
Min Congda's guess was right, and the situation of the negotiations suddenly turned around.
Donasi's sudden death changed the nature of the whole thing a lot.
The F.B.I. stepped in to find Donashe's killer.
Stern, Hunter and others all issued statements expressing deep condolences over Donahi's accidental death.
They want to punish the killers severely, claiming that no crime should be committed anywhere in connection with the NBA.
The events related to Donassi were originally focused on "gambling" and "match-fixing".
Now it has jumped to the level of murder, and the severity has increased significantly.
The nation's attention to this incident has once again risen to a new level.
The White House of the United States has begun to participate in public opinion, and the commander-in-chief Okuguanhai made a speech, hoping that the labor and management sides can sit down and discuss well and come to a result that everyone is satisfied with.
The increase in the level of events, coupled with the speech of the commander-in-chief, brought about a turnaround in the labor negotiations.
At this time, everyone has stepped down, and if anyone still opposes or delays the negotiation at this time, they are ignorant of current affairs.
It was quickly agreed that a new collective bargaining agreement could be reached by Christmas 2011.
On December 11, labor and management started a new round of negotiations, which is also known as the ultimate negotiation.
With external pressure, and the panic caused by Donasi's death, the negotiations went much smoother.
On the issue of the most critical and core salary cap ratio, both sides finally accepted the figure of 51%.
Of course, the two sides still held a great deal of consultations and contentions on other issues.
In the end, after 14 hours of tug-of-war and torture, until 2 a.m., the meeting finally came to an end.
David Stern, Billy Hunt and Derek Fisher sat down at the table and held a press conference together.
The shutdown has been announced and the new season will begin on January 10, 2012.
The schedule for the new season will be reduced to 60 games, 10 more than in the 1999 shortened season.
Of course, although the news of the end of the shutdown has been announced, there is still a lot of work to be done.
The players' union will be dissolved and reorganized after this collective bargaining.
The agreement is to be returned to the new 450-player union for review.
After the review is approved, the new collective bargaining agreement will come into effect, and the new season will officially begin.
If the 450-player vote is not approved, the league will remain suspended.
Min Congda knew the joints and knew that there was still a possibility that the league would continue to be suspended.
But at the same time, he also knows that relying on one or two news breaking points, or riotous operations, can no longer stop the general trend of the new season.
The so-called situation is stronger than people, and it is the limit to make the league stop to this point.
Both labor and management were deeply tormented by long negotiations and no ball to play.
Everyone knows in their hearts that the NBA can't just stop playing.
The bosses are just afraid of losing money, but they don't want to make money.
The players want to get more money, but they don't want to waste their jobs.
Donasi's death wiped out all the grievances and misunderstandings that had accumulated between the two sides.
was originally arched by emotions and political correctness to the point where everyone couldn't get off the stage.
Well, now that a "great villain" has been killed, let's shake hands and make peace.
Although Min Congda's intelligence is average, he is always confused and confident to engage in some sausome operations.
But just as he has a great basketball talent, he also has a strong sense of smell in politics and social events.
Individuals cannot compete with the general trend and trend, and can only follow the trend.
Since the end of the shutdown is the general trend, Min Congda must follow this trend.
Put the "Trojan Plan" on hold for the time being, and find a way to continue to wreak havoc on the Clippers.
Thinking of this, Min Congda was depressed for a long time, and suddenly became relaxed.
"Hey, hey, new season, continue to aim for the Clippers to sink!"
"Tomorrow's first job...... Let's take a vacation and go fishing~"
Some people died, but not completely......
