The NBA started with helping Iverson win the championship

Chapter 89 I'm Not a Very Grudge Man
"You also know the situation."

"Think about it."

Stern said to Xiao Hua and Tan Huimin in front of him.

The faces of the two are bitter, how can they think of a solution to this matter?
When the Arenas clause was first discussed, who would have thought that a monster like Li Xun would emerge in the second round.

In the history of the NBA so far, there have been stars in the second round picks and even the undrafted picks.

But these people are completely incomparable with Li Xun.

Arenas is strong, but his style of play, coupled with his defensive flaws, can't be called dominance at all.

As for the undrafted big Ben, he didn't hit the top until after his rookie contract ended.

The worst thing about the Pistons now is their two highest-paid players, whose contracts just expired.

"Do you want to cancel the Arenas clause?"

"Make a Li Xun clause. After the contract of the second-round pick ends, they will enjoy the same maximum salary as the first round."

"The home team still has the priority to renew the contract."

After Xiao Hua pondered for a moment, he suggested.

"Yes, it's just that we can declare that first-round rookies and second-round picks are treated equally, and they are treated equally."

"The NBA is people-oriented and will not treat any player differently."

Tan Huimin quickly added.

If Li Xun was there, it would probably be an eye-opener.

Restricting the reinforcement of the Pistons, they can say so high-sounding in their mouths, it's a shame that these people don't want to run for the old American president.

"Yes, the idea works."

"Before the offseason comes, and before the start of the playoffs, hurry up and finalize this matter."

Stern nodded in satisfaction and made a final decision.

This matter should not be rushed too late, because once the playoffs are over, the Pistons will finish signing the contract with Li Xun, and it will be too late to say anything.

"Okay, then I will contact the owners of each team and the player union."

"Come to the headquarters for a meeting in a week."

Because it involves a labor agreement, this kind of major event does not mean that Stern can decide it alone.

Still have to call labor and capital to vote.

Labor is the players union that represents the players.

The employer is the owner of each team.

The Pistons definitely don't know yet, they have been targeted by Stern.

Stern's behavior is not aimed at the Pistons, it is purely for the pursuit of the ultimate balance of the league.

But if you want to say how fair Stern is, treating all teams or players in the league equally, that's not enough.

For example, the Big Three of Green Cay and the introduction of Gasol by the Lakers are actually Stern's desire to reproduce the grand occasion of the Yellow-Green War.

It's a pity that people are not as good as God.

Garnett was injured on Green Kai's side, and the yellow-green battle lasted only one season.

Later, I thought about the Big Three of the Heat competing against the giants of the Lakers, but the Lakers were cold again.

……

After the Nets arrived in Detroit, Li Xun called Yi Jianlian.

Thinking about treating Yi Jianlian to a meal in Detroit before the start of the game.

Although he is younger than Ah Lian and Sun Yue, Li Xun's psychological age is much older than these two young people.

He also wants to do his part to make these two young compatriots have a better development.

In a foreign country, if you are able to help but don't help, you can't count on those outsiders to help.

After ordering the best French restaurant in Detroit, Li Xun led Sun Yue there first.

Seeing Li Xun coming, the owner of the restaurant couldn't help but smile from ear to ear.

I took pictures again, signed again, and finally gave me a free order.

After waiting for about ten minutes, Yi Jianlian came, with a middle-aged white man behind him.

Li Xun recognized it at a glance. This middle-aged white man is the Nets coach Lawrence Frank.

He invited him to dinner, why did he bring his coach here?

"Li Xun."

After seeing Li Xun, Yi Jianlian showed a gentle smile on his face.

"I applied to go out just now, and Coach Frank said he wanted to come and see you."

He casually explained why Frank was here.

Players playing away games must obtain the approval of the head coach if they want to go out.

Of course, there are also some prickly people who sneak out to be chic.

A good boy like Yi Jianlian, he would definitely not be able to do such a thing.

Chinese people are generally well-disciplined, and even Li Xun is no exception to this point.

In the eyes of many people, Li Xun is a lawless existence, but he also acts according to the rules in the Pistons.

When playing away games, he never went out without saying hello.

"Li, it's a great honor to have the opportunity to have dinner with you."

Frank smiled and praised Li Xun.

He can grow from a store clerk outside the basketball training camp to the head coach of an NBA team, and his emotional intelligence is absolutely top-notch.

Li Xun stretched out his hand and shook hands with Frank.

No one would be disgusted with Frank's inspirational typical of grassroots counterattacks.

And under normal circumstances, Frank will coach the Pistons in two years.

Perhaps he will become his future head coach.

"Mr. Frank, it's an honor to meet you."

"Don't call me so foreign, just call me Lawrence."

The four sat down, because there was a game tomorrow night, so they didn't drink.

"Li, Brooke is usually quite mild-tempered."

"If you don't believe me, just ask."

"I was completely desperate that night, so I made an impulsive move."

"You should also be able to see that he doesn't have the intention of hurting like Bogut."

When he was about to eat, Frank finally revealed his intentions, he came to intercede with Daluo.

Daluo can be said to be the future hope of the Nets.

Since the end of that game, Da Luo seems to have PTSD, post-traumatic stress disorder, and his game state has gradually declined.

Especially in the past few days, because of the fight against the Pistons, Da Luo was in a daze all day long, like a walking dead.

Is it okay to go on like this?It has to be scrapped.

Frank was anxious, just in time to hear Yi Jianlian said that he wanted to have dinner with Li Xun, so he ran over cheekily.

Li Xun saw Frank's intention.

What he said is true, Da Luo's nature is actually not bad, he himself is a softie, no matter how bad he is, he can be so bad.

On the contrary, his younger brother, Xiao Luo, is more stubborn, but his strength and potential are not as good as Da Luo.

"Mr. Frank, the past is the past."

"I'm not a very vengeful person."

As soon as Li Xun finished speaking, Sun Yue and Yi Jianlian on the side sprayed.

He said he doesn't hold grudges?
Is there anyone in the league more vindictive than him?
It was also fortunate that he was his compatriot, otherwise he would not have dared to eat with him.

"Don't worry, I won't provoke him in tomorrow night's game."

"Yi Jianlian plays under you, thanks to your care."

It's not good for Li Xun to take Frank's face too much, after all, he is the head coach of the UAE.

Frank looked overjoyed, originally he was worried that Li Xun would mess with Da Luo again on the field.

Na Daluo probably had a mental breakdown.

Now that he has Li Xun's promise, he feels much more at ease.

"Yi is a good boy."

"There is no coach who doesn't like a kid who is honest and low-key."

Frank wanted to praise Li Xun, but after thinking about it, do people need to praise him?

He simply praised Yi Jianlian.
