Chapter 309: Richard was fined 150,000 (1st tear, title 6)

Genius remembers the address of this site for one second: (Vertex Chinese), the fastest update! No ads!? The urban area of ​​West Lafayette City has a total population of 30,000.
I am afraid this is really incredible in China. Can a population of 30,000 be called a city? ! The population of some large villages in China has this number...
But this is the fact that the population of West Lafayette is so pitiful.
But even with a small population, on the first day of the training, because of the weekend, the stadium that can accommodate more than 10,000 people is still full of pits and valleys.
For NBA level matches, the key is not to buy tickets for free. It is also good to take a look at the excitement.
Three matches a day, one in the morning, two in the afternoon...
When the news came out against the news, it directly attracted many residents of the surrounding cities, and the entire stadium has always been in a state of full capacity.
It lasted for a whole week. Almost all the fans in Indiana drove to West Lafayette. The free ball game did not look white. The key is to watch three games a day. Don’t be too exciting...
And according to newspaper reports, this grand event will last for several months. At least before the start of Purdue University, these training competitions do not charge tickets, and after the start of the school, Purdue University may charge five to ten dollars. Ticket money...
Indiana was originally the state with the best basketball atmosphere in the United States. Now that such an event is happening, fans are simply not happy!
Not all fans have the opportunity to enter the NBA game in person, mainly because the price is too high, even if the ticket is cheaper, it must be dozens of hundreds of dollars.
It doesn't sound like much, but there are really countless old and poor people who can't afford these hundreds of dollars.
Or after taking it out, they may be hungry for a week...
Now West Lafayette has a free ball game to watch. They are driving in groups of broken cars with wind leaks from all over the country and rushing to West Lafayette from all over Indiana.
The fan's fanaticism is quite understandable. It is like the same thing happened in later generations of China. Thirty NBA players are going to play a few months of training games in the gymnasium of a small fourth-tier city. No one can charge tickets. Anyone can Go see...
It is foreseeable that fans who are going to watch the ball can squeeze the stadium.
...
Fans are naturally grateful to Richard. If it is not Richard, it may be difficult for them to witness NBA stars playing on the court in their lifetime.
...
But the next official press conference of the league made these fans angry and irrational!
The NBA Management Committee, which had been negotiating with the trade union in the stadium, suddenly held an official press conference...
Fans and media reporters believe that the negotiations between the two parties have progressed, and now a press conference will explain the situation.
But this press conference didn't mention the salary negotiation at all, only one thing...
After research, the Alliance Management Committee imposed a fine of 150,000 US dollars on Richard!
When Xiao Hua said this at the press conference, the reporters thought he was joking.
Fortunately, you are negotiating with the player union. How do you think of punishing Richard? And one penalty is a fine of up to 150,000 US dollars, which is not a joke...
Seeing the confused appearance of the reporters, Xiao Hua said the reason for punishing Richard.
Richard had unauthorized contact with NCAA players who did not sign up for the draft.
When the reason came out, the reporters were not suddenly bright, but they were even more puzzled...
The reason given by Xiao Hua, they can understand what it means, because the NBA has regulations that before NCAA players sign up for the draft, or before they are qualified for the draft, the head coaches or executives of each team are not allowed to contact them. Otherwise, the league will impose a fine.
This is a rule that was introduced long ago, but basically no one cares. There have been coaches who have been fined, but they only fined thousands of dollars, made a warning, and even some public contacts. The league It is to open one eye and close one eye.
But now Richard is being investigated, and the fine is up to 150,000 US dollars!
For technical fouls and malicious fouls on the court, the league has stipulated that the current upper limit is 20,000 US dollars, but Richard's penalty is obviously not in line with the 20,000 US dollar limit.
The reporters knew all these things. What they really doubted was...
Why does the NBA jump out and punish Richard at this time? ! Shouldn’t they be negotiating with the players’ union? !
And Richard's unauthorized contact with NCAA players who are not qualified for the draft is not a matter of two days a day.
Didn’t Richard take the Trail Blazers to Purdue last season? Why didn't the league punish at that time? !
Moreover, Richard now actually bears the name of the honorary head coach of the boiler worker~EbookFREE.me~ In theory, the players of the boiler workers are actually Richard's disciples...
He is in contact with the players under his hands? Can this pick out the fault? Is this also punishable? !
It seems completely unreasonable...
The reporters pointed out to Xiao Hua that Richard was the honorary head coach of the boiler worker. However, Xiao Hua avoided the weight and ignored it, and he did not explain the problem at all. He only said that he would act in accordance with the rules.
...
When this news was seen in the newspaper, the offseason, which was still quite calm, suddenly surged.
Fans in several states do not particularly like Richard. To be precise, they do not like Richard very much, because Richard always bullies their home team...
So they were so happy that Richard was heavily punished, and they went to tell each other.
Fans in some states are Richard's hardcore, especially the Indiana state where Richard is, because Stern was almost scolded as a pig's head because of this.
Indiana can be said to be Richard's home base. There are countless die-hard fans here. At that time, Larry Bird was standing on Richard's side so much, which also has reasons for this.
After all, the Pacers need to earn tickets for Indiana fans...
Indiana's media are not too big, all kinds of hype conspiracy theory.
For example, this free-ticket training game held by Richard made Stern anxious. Stern felt that Richard's approach had shaken the foundation of the NBA...
For example, a tabloid reported that Richard was preparing to start a new battle and lead these players to start a new league...
There are also some small newspapers. I don’t know from what channel I learned about Richard’s hundreds of millions of net worths.
Fans are naturally angry, they are too angry, so good free ball game, no longer have to watch!
