    On December 15, 1998, the negotiations between the NBA and the players union finally made their first substantial progress.

    Since July 15th, five months have passed, and on December 17th, NBA official representatives and players union representatives finally appeared at the same press conference again.

    Representatives from both sides stated that they will discuss a preliminary plan within two weeks and resume NBA operations in an orderly manner within four weeks.

    As soon as this news came out, the happiest people were the fans. They did nothing wrong. They spent money to watch live broadcasts, buy tickets, and buy peripherals They are consumers, but the NBA has been suspended for such a long time, and there are even some  The season may be cancelled, the NBA may be bankrupt and reorganized There may be some fans who hope to see the players gain more benefits in negotiations, and hope to see the scene of "the working people defeating evil capital."

    But NBA players are not living a hard life now. It is no longer the era 20 years ago when playing in the NBA was equivalent to being a white-collar worker and the salary was similar.

    The players were naturally overjoyed. After persisting for so long, they finally saw the progress they wanted to see.

    ¡­¡­

    There is good news in the labor negotiations. The good news that Zhang Hao has been waiting for for a long time has also come. He spent 29 million US dollars

    However, he not only hinted with his eyes, but also dragged the two people who spent money together to the toilet to chat for a while, but the two still missed the opportunity.

    Google's two founders, Larry Page and Sergey Brin, started the first round of financing. According to the angel investment agreement, they announced that the value of the highest proportion of original shares that someone can buy now is about 1,800.  Ten thousand US dollars, but O'Neal only invested 5 million, and Kenny Anderson only invested 2 million. Larry Page and Sergey Brin agreed to buy the portion that the two vacated.

    Pelinka went to discuss the investment details with the two founders of Google. The money was obtained, and the two were very excited as they prepared to continue to expand the scale of their business.

    Zhang Hao, on the other hand, was speechless to Big Fatty and Boss Kenny, who both only gave him a check of 2 million U.S. dollars.

    "Mr. O'Neal, are you not short of money? Boss Kenny, you just signed a big contract. Now if you don't have enough money, I can lend you a loan! The first round of financing is not comparable to the subsequent financing!"

    "Akers, you invested so heavily, what if they fail? I even regret investing 5 million."

    "That's right, Aix, you are so uncool! I didn't even have time to stop you. Fortunately, I only invested 2 million, so I won't be as heartbroken as you if I lose."

    ""

    Zhang Hao didn¡¯t know how to continue talking to the two about this, so he simply stopped thinking about it. Anyway, their angel investment rights were not wasted, so he bought it.

    Labor negotiations have finally made progress. Kenny Anderson is preparing to move to Boston. O'Neal also needs to start physical training to control his weight and adapt to the new weight in playing.

    After sending the two people away, Zhang Hao felt heartbroken - "Hey, I made an extra amount of money inexplicably. I don't know how to explain it to them. In this case, I can only accept this future money."  ¡±

    There is a fairly clear time for when the new season will start, and the current players are starting to do their own things.

    With players like O'Neal, Kenny Anderson and Vin Baker on long-term contracts, there is no pressure at all.

    But there are also cases where the new season is a contract year and the contract renewal was not completed in advance last season due to the progress of labor negotiations, so the pressure next season will be great.

    The ones who are under the greatest pressure are the players who did not get their contracts renewed last season, not even in the same year. They originally had several months to find a job during the offseason, but according to the latest negotiation progress exposed by the media, it is estimated that January 10  A formal 7+6 labor agreement was signed between January 20th. The earliest start of the regular season is February 1st, that is, after the lockout ends, there are only 20 days at most to find a job before the start of the season.

    Players will be anxious to find a job, and teams that are short of players may also be hasty in signing contracts. For players looking for jobs, it is really a race against time.

    Time passes day by day, and on December 23, Inglewood High School ended its 15 games before the Christmas break. Since the beginning of the season, Inglewood High School has won all 15 games!

    In two cup games, Yao Ming averaged 18.5 points, 22 rebounds, 5 blocks and 2.5 assists per game. In 13 league games, he averaged 28.3 points, 16.6 rebounds, 1.3 assists and 4.7 blocks per game.

    In the past 6 games, Yao Ming has completed a total of 35 dunks, which is more than twice the total number of dunks in more than 30 games last season!

    After this round of competition, Yao Ming's evaluation in California high school circles has changed dramatically.

    In the past, his "softness" had a relatively large impact on his market price, although he is now 220 cm 1That is, in theory, there is no salary limit. As long as the team that selects him is willing and the team has space, he can directly sign a maximum salary like a non-Bird rights free agent But if that  If you like him, just pick him in the first round.

    On January 8, the maximum salary terms were negotiated. Players with less than 7 years of playing experience can sign an extension contract with a starting salary of up to 30% of the salary cap. Veterans with 7 to 10 years of experience can sign a contract extension with a starting salary of up to 35% of the salary cap.  Starting salary renewal contract, for 11 years and as a veteran, there is theoretically no salary cap. The maximum salary terms are affected by bird rights. To renew the contract above the cap, bird rights are required.

    At the same time, the contract period is stipulated. The maximum contract period is 7 years. Players who sign a 7-year contract will not have player options or team options.

    With these fundamental negotiations related to players' income reaching an agreement, now there is only one thing that can really hinder the resumption of operations. Others are not so important. It can be done gradually after the season resumes operations. This thing is  ¡ª¡ªProportional distribution of income.

    When this matter was first mentioned, the two parties quarreled. Now, the two parties started to discuss it normally.

    However, this matter is too important. For example, if there is an agreement between the players and the owners to split the accounts 50-50, for example, the entire NBA revenue in the 1999-00 season is about 2.5 billion U.S. dollars, then if the total player salary is more than 1.25 billion U.S. dollars, then it will be  Proportionately, give each player a portion of their salary less. If it is less than $1.25 billion, the owners will have to pay each player a proportionately more salary.

    This matter is more complicated. Lawyers and accountants from the players union and NBA lawyers and accountants started professional negotiations, and Jordan and the Bulls owner started a professional quarrel.

    Time passed day by day, and it took a week. Finally, on January 15th, an agreement was reached and it was finally determined that for at least the next seven years, player income will account for 53% to 58% of the NBA's total income.  Interval, within this interval, there is no situation of giving more or less money. There is a buffer zone, and the execution is not that complicated.

    Starting from the 1998-99 season, players¡¯ salaries will no longer be paid in full, and 10% of their income will be handed over to a trust company officially guaranteed by the league.

    After the framework agreement was signed, the league and the players union held a press conference at 9 pm on January 15th, officially announcing that the strike would end at 12 noon on January 17, 1999, and the NBA would resume operations!

    There are still many details left, and the players don¡¯t need to work hard. Regarding income, contracts, and rights, these have been taken care of.

    However, the NBA's resumption of operations was "stealed" by some rules passed by the league between January 9th and January 15th.

    While the lawyers and accountants were discussing the share ratio, the bosses had nothing to do and proposed to the league to modify some rules. After review, the league and the rules committee agreed to the application, started the voting process, and passed several rule changes.

    So, on January 16, when teams were quickly starting to resume operations, the league announced several rule changes. After these changes were announced, they sparked heated discussions.

    Several clauses that really have a substantial impact, the media, experts, fans, and players saw one word between the lines - beat-xo!

    There are two newly adopted rules that attract the most attention.

    One is to cancel the illegal rule of early double-teaming. According to the previous rules, for players without the ball, they can only defend one against one at most. The offensive player must receive the ball before double-teaming can be carried out.

    The other is to reintroduce the defensive three-second violation - if the defensive player is in the three-second zone for three consecutive seconds, there is no opponent within arm's distance of the defensive player, and he does not leave the three-second zone before the three seconds are up.  A three-second defensive violation will be called, and the offensive team will receive one free throw and will continue to have the ball.

    Others, such as the 5-second penalty rule for serving, the 24-second callback rule, the ball hitting the backboard and bouncing twice means it goes out of bounds and other rule changes, no one cares.

    These two rule changes will bring about earth-shaking changes to the entire NBA defense. It is obvious that they are directed at the Remy Martin combination!

    I like to play basketball too much. What should I do if I am too powerful? What should I do to update the fastest.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
