Chapter 812: Strong All-Stars

"Adam, seriously, I used to think you were a little shameless. Now it seems that I really underestimated you..." Richard said silently.
"One another, over the past ten years, I have learned a lot from you." Xiao Hua laughed, not angry with Richard at all.
"Come on, your shamelessness is born, I'm not as shameless as you."
"This is not a big deal, just wait for me to make a few calls tomorrow." Richard said.
He agreed to Xiao Hua, and promised to help Xiao Hua solve this troublesome issue.
As long as the voice of the players is strong, as long as the players threaten the league, this matter will be easy to handle. When Xiao Hua is "forced" to modify the draft system, then the NCAA side can't say even if it is not satisfied. what……
Can't people make the NBA really strike?
In this way, it may not take long for the NBA to start opening the door to high school students.
And Xiao Hua did not have to bear the infamy after getting the favor of the players, and incidentally, it can also create some income for the league.
...
The first reason for Richard to agree so happily with Xiao Hua is that this matter is not really a difficult thing, it is all a relief.
The second reason is that the NBA changed the draft system, which is also beneficial to their two sons, they can enter the league earlier to play.
In Richard's view, what high school students will lose themselves in the NBA is pure nonsense.
The 18-year-old player is a child, isn't it 19-year-old?
The players Kobe, Garnett, James, O'Brien are all high school students, and they haven't seen them lose themselves.
There is also a reason for opposing high school players to enter the league because they can learn something in college...
To be honest, these college players can learn a wool in college, and they are just how to pick up girls every day. One hundred players from the NCAA may not be able to find a person who really loves to learn.
In this case, Richard has no reason to let his two sons go to school, it is better to play early in the league.
Of course, the premise is that the two children are willing to directly participate in the draft, otherwise, Richard will certainly respect their choice.
...
To allow Li Bit and Li Jin to graduate from high school and enter the league, Richard's goal is definitely not to make money, but to adapt to the league's game rhythm one year earlier.
Entering the league one year early can play one year more than others, which is very beneficial to the evaluation of historical status and the acquisition of various honors.
...
After returning to Los Angeles, Richard called several West Lafayette brothers in the league, and then called the retired Iverson and others to let them take the lead in urging the league to change the draft system.
The next day all parties dispatched and began to attack the league's draft system. The player union chairman Paul stated that their player union needs the union to give a clear attitude. Otherwise, they will take measures.
The player union has always wanted the NBA to allow high school students to participate in the draft. When they negotiated with the NBA, they actually talked about it, but this is not their most important thing, so they are satisfied in terms of salary. After their request, they didn't bother about it...
With such a good opportunity now, the player union is naturally reluctant to miss it.
Paul, the president of the players’ union, said it was going to take measures. The 10-year-old big mouth champion Wall watched the entire league slamming. He even directly said that he would sue the management committee...
Countless players are softly or hardly asking the league to modify the regulations prohibiting high school students from participating in the draft. From the outside world, Xiao Hua is definitely sad.
But on the contrary, Xiao Hua's life should not be too comfortable. In his office, he poured a good glass of red wine, looked at various news, and his face was filled with a smile.
This incident was the first major event he had done since he took office, but it was not so easy.
The only thing he needs to do now is to wait. After the situation reaches an uncontrollable level, he will come forward and announce that the league will modify the draft system in the past two years.
In this way, there must be nothing wrong with the NCAA.
...
A week later, seeing that the situation had reached an uncontrollable point, Xiao Hua finally shot.
Tan Huimin held a press conference on behalf of the League Management Committee, announcing that for up to two years, they will relax the restrictions on high school students participating in the draft.
As soon as the news came out, the players were naturally quite satisfied, and many players rarely praised the League Management Committee in public...
To know the praise of the Management Committee, it was so rare in the era of Stern. Richard did not remember who praised Stern in that era.
In the minds of Stern's players of that era, Stern's name is almost synonymous with tyrants, dictators, big devil and inhumanity.
Now Xiao Hua seems to be more human, at least he can accept the opinions of the players.
...
Richard didn't pay much attention to Xiao Hua's troubles. After helping him call him, he didn't pay much attention to this matter. Anyway, Xiao Hua could certainly handle it himself.
If such a simple thing is impossible for Xiao Hua, Richard should doubt how Xiao Hua has won Stern's trust.
...
In late January, the All-Star lineup was released.
The Western Conference All-Star starting lineup, the two starters are Paul plus Kobe, the three frontcourt starters are Howard, Granger and Leonard.
Leonard was selected to the starting list, in fact still quite unexpected Richard.
But think about it carefully, this is also expected, Richard on many occasions clearly called Leonard the leader of the Clippers.
Now that the Clippers have the best record in the West, it is quite normal for the leader of Leonard to be selected as the starter.
And Leonard is still quite young, just now a sophomore, the city of Los Angeles has always been full of care for young talents.
As for Thompson, who is now popular in Los Angeles, after the crazy performance of 28 points in the first quarter, he played a single-point 21-point game in mid-January, which is quite dazzling.
However, because of the existence of Kobe and Paul, he certainly cannot enter the starting lineup.
But Thompson does not make it into the starting lineup, in fact, it makes no difference to Richard.
Of the five Western Conference starting players, Howard was cut, and the remaining four are all West Lafayette players~EbookFREE.me~ Whoever gets the AMVP, Richard can start the ninth part of the super-giant suit.
And because Howard is an inside player, he may not play for too long. Richard can allow Thompson to play more time.
Thompson ranked third in the backcourt, allowing him to play for a while, no one can pick out the problem.
It is equivalent to saying that the main force of the Western All-Star lineup is all Richard's people. As long as they can successfully win the game, then basically the super giant suit is appropriate.
And now the biggest problem is the problem of winning or losing in this game.
Today's league is so engaged in by Richard, leading to some imbalances between the stars of the East and West.
There are few stars in the west and many stars in the east. Durant, which originally belonged to the west, is now in the east, and Griffin is also in the east. Both of these players are normally the starters of the Western All-Star.
Judging from the book strength, the west is really not as strong as the east. Richard is now a little worried about losing the game.
