Chapter 655: The big event of 1998


The Lakers celebrated this side for a while, and the award arrangement after the game was almost the same.
   is different from last year's away championship... The atmosphere at home is obviously much warmer.
It didn’t take long for Stern to appear in the live broadcast of the public boos, and the radiant appearance was not the same as the original award to the Jazz. After all, the championship flags such as Los Angeles can create for the league. The benefits are much greater.
  ……
   "There is no doubt that this season was a successful and perfect season for the Lakers."
"I am very happy to see that Los Angeles has hung their thirteenth championship banner. There are more likely to be waiting for them in the future, and now... I represent the NBA official congratulations to the Lakers, congratulations to every player who fought on the front line. And more behind-the-scenes workers, thank you for making the alliance more exciting!"
   "Of course, I would also like to thank the Chicago Bulls for bringing us the finals performance."
"In the league family, winning and losing is only the standard for assessing the championship, not the benchmark of the strong. Today's Lakers and today's Bulls, I think there is no loser among them. This makes me look forward to their next collision... "
  ……
Stern spoke eloquently for ten minutes. No matter how loud the boos were, he could not deny that he was a qualified helm of the league, and it continued to the end of the speech... The awards finally began, and the Lakers will really reject this lengthy The nonsense, can't wait to win the championship trophy, relay one relay after another.
   As for the FMVP announced later, there is basically no suspense.
  Li Shengli averaged 27.2 points, 14.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 2. Because of tactical changes, both of which are 18 points, so the average score is not much, but the comprehensive comprehensive data is impeccable.
  It is worth mentioning that Kobe, who has grown into the Lakers' absolute outer core, also averaged 22.6 points in 36 minutes. In addition, he has 4.2 rebounds and 3.5 assists. It has grown rapidly. There are also nominations for FMVP awards, which is only an opportunity.
   "What do you think, are you not happy about the finals MVP?" Bryant saw Li Shengli froze and asked casually.
"I'm thinking...If next year, if you play a weaker team, can this worthless thing be sold? Does anyone want to book a set meal?" Li Shengli touched the trophy and the person next to him fell All over the ground.
Worthless?
   Still selling on horse?
   You are really full of men, I don’t know if they are hungry!
  Obviously already so rich, why are they still saving and picking money everywhere, is this stepping horse a collecting addiction?
Big Ben and Kobe were so angry and helpless by Li Shengli’s expressions of
I don’t want it
and
It’s worthless
, and after this award was presented, a flood of journalists flooded into the scene, facing the Lakers There will be an interview to win the championship, and everyone has collectively entered the bragging not breaking the law.
   "I feel like I'm playing too badly and I didn't play as I should have." For example, the regular season regular season game was good.
   "I feel like I can play three Rodmans, and I can easily clear all his rebounding data." Big Ben got into the legal loophole of American bragging not paying taxes.
"I... Jordan and I are going to open five or five!" Fisher did not miss the Larry Bird Cup Finals most bragging player competition. "Obviously, my time on the bench successfully suppressed him, he I didn’t do anything, but I was handing out towels, so he’s not as good as me!

  ……
time flies.
   Until the fans retreated, the reporters ended, the championship night was spent in the laughter of the Lakers.
   A few days later...The Lakers once again held a grand championship parade, and after the championship parade is everyone's holiday, basically all go back to their homes and find their moms, and Li Shengli is of course the same.
  The Lakers are still atmospheric.
  West's promise to win the prize money is still completed in the form of an endorsement contract, and none of them let Li Shengli speak, and the moment Li Shengli got the contract and got the money was more happy than the championship night.
  As for the arrangement of the offseason...
  Li Shengli plans to return to China. After all, he really hasn't gone back for a long time, and another plan is to go to Shanghai to see Yao Ming's situation, but others haven't left yet... There is a lot of noise on the NBA league side.
  The alliance has begun labor negotiations?
   Before the news came out, Li Shengli also knew.
   The problem is that this kind of thing happens almost every year, because the contradiction between the employer and the employee is inherently irreconcilable, and the number of times that the scale has formed and the alliance has shut down is three times, which are years, and the most recent 94 years.
  The 1994 suspension did not affect the regular season of the 94-95 season. It was just that the closure of the closure of the stadium in the 93-94 season was not too great. Basically, it was a rash thing, and one step was ended.
   As for this time...
   Started negotiations in March, and is still talking in the middle of June.
The team’s bosses hope to adjust the league’s salary cap system and the player’s salary cap. To put it bluntly, it does not allow the super giant to make too much money. The player union led by Ewing not only strongly opposed and severely denounced, but also demanded an increase in the treatment of players with a minimum salary. , There is no argument on both sides.
  ……
   Now the super giants of the whole league are standing on the cusp of the storm, and Li Shengli is no exception.
   Take a look at the player salary rankings this season.
  Jordan's 33.14 million annual salary ranks first and is the center of the storm.
  Ewing's 20.5 million annual salary ranks second, plus the identity of the president of the player union is naturally opposed.
Magic Grant's 14.29 million is in the third, but his 12+8 data makes this contract's output ratio very low, and it is embarrassing to be in the forefront, basically rotten by the Magic, and will definitely drop in the future. Grant's influence is not too much. Big.
  The rest is O'Neill, Lee Shengli, and then David Robinson, Alonzo Mourning, Juwan Howard, Olajuwon, Gary Payton.
   A total of 9 people exceeded 10 million.
To be honest, 10 million annual salary is also a wealth myth in the United States, not to mention the income of endorsements and business activities behind the super giant... Jordan’s annual salary is not fake for a team~EbookFREE.me ~ Greatly grabbed the wealth of the boss.
  Although Jordan is eating the bull's food, it is a bad start for the employers represented by the boss. After all, it is difficult to guarantee that other super giants will not want more and let the employers earn less.
   And what is more serious than before is that...these contradictions erupted with Jordan’s two consecutive years and 30 million+ salaries every year, plus the continuous appearance of over 100 million contracts in the league.
   Of course there is good news for the player.
  At least for now, fans still stand on the side of the players and denounce the exploitation of the team bosses. Although the influence of the fans has little effect on the bosses, it is also a strength of their own.
  As for the player union...
Since March, after several rounds of negotiations, they have failed to return. Until the Lakers and Bulls finished the finals, the employers and employees were completely deadlocked, and the main channel for the player union to speak is the scattered media that the non-managers have mastered. The force of public opinion boosts the negotiation process.
   The problem is that it is difficult for individual voices to form an absolute influence on the management.
  Ewing, the former player union, wondered... It’s not a matter of fighting alone, it’s the collective voice of players in the league.
   Player parade?
   This is not enough, it is still possible to gather a group of influential stars as a representative to speak, and now... where is the most unofficially controlled place to gather big-name players during the offseason?
   is obviously Li Shengli's base camp!
