Chapter 384 New NBA (Third update)

At 2:30 in the afternoon, Min Chongda and his party arrived at the Texas Hotel in Dallas, the same hotel where Kennedy stayed in 1963.

The hotel waiter opened the door for Min Congda. His Asian face looked very eye-catching in Texas. As soon as he walked into the lobby, he immediately attracted the attention of many media reporters.

However, Min Congda did not accept interviews from reporters. This meeting was a meeting of 30 team owners, and he was not obligated to accept interviews.

Rosser and others followed Min Congda by taking the elevator to the large conference room on the second floor of the hotel. Two security guards stopped everyone at the door.

Only Min Congda could enter, and everyone else had to go elsewhere to wait for the results.

"Go wait for me somewhere else and have a good rest. I will inform you and discuss what happens in the meeting."

Rosser and others nodded, and Min Congda opened his arms to allow security to conduct a body search to prevent him from carrying recording or eavesdropping equipment.

After the inspection, the security personnel opened the door of the conference room and invited Min Congda in.

Behind this door, symbolizes the highest power of the NBA, the joint meeting of the 30 team owners.

"Oh, that's right, I'm deeply impressed." Min Congda nodded.

He just completed the acquisition of the Pistons in June this year.

Min Congda straightened his clothes and walked into the conference room. Dozens of pairs of eyes looked at him.

Min Congda was one of the few people in Old Bass who made mistakes. The unpleasant conversation in Las Vegas left him fresh in his memory.

Gayle Miller takes a tough stance.

Just like some factories, they will lose money if they don't operate, but if they start operating, they will lose more money, so it is better to shut down the factory.

Sloan burst into tears at the press conference. His 23-year coaching career with the Jazz ended in a very dishonorable way.

Now that the Lakers have begun to decline, Old Buss's health is getting worse and worse, and his children have to consider their funeral arrangements.

Jenny pointed out the doubts of many people. Min Congda's authority in the Clippers is simply not the boss, but better than the boss.

Davidson bought the poor Pistons in 1974 and turned them into one of the most successful teams in the Eastern Conference.

Of course, not all losing teams want a shutdown.

"How much benefit did Sterling give you? Did he promise you shares in the team?" Jenny Bass believed that Min Congda must have received a lot of benefits.

Because Tom Gores has been the Pistons owner for less than a month.

Min Congda has been in a wait-and-see attitude, and of course he hopes to stop it.

Presiding over the meeting were David Stern and Spurs owner Holt, who chairs the Labor Relations Board.

Because old Bass's health was failing and he couldn't bear the torment of long-distance flights and long meetings.

The layout of the venue was not luxurious, but rather simple. A huge round table covered with white tablecloth was placed in the center of the conference room.

"Benefit? The benefit is that I can go to the training center to have a free lunch every day. This is the biggest benefit." Min Congda said seriously.

"My father mentioned you. He said he met you in Las Vegas the year before last and you left a deep impression on him."

It’s not necessarily the big boss who comes to the meeting.

In such a short period of time, the Clippers went from being a weakling to the Western Conference Finals. The speed of their rise is staggering, and they are developing as fast as his hometown, China.

The Pistons' previous legendary owner, Bill Davidson, passed away in 2009.

Min Congda smiled, pointed to his hair and eyes, and said: "You are dark and beautiful, how could I be Sterling's illegitimate son."

Jerry Sloan left the game angrily, then held a press conference and decided to resign as Jazz coach.

In addition to Min Congda and Sterling attending the meeting, the Los Angeles Lakers also sent owner Jerry Buss’ daughter Jenny Buss to attend the meeting.

Just such a table of people could have a total net worth of hundreds of billions.

Because for small teams that are losing money, they will certainly suffer losses due to the shutdown, but if they continue to operate according to the current salary situation, the losses will only be greater.

Larry Miller bought the Jazz in 1985 and together with Stockton and Malone created the Jazz's most glorious era.

Finally sold the team to Tom Gores this year.

Gores, the boss, has not yet warmed up to his position, and has not yet started to show off his talents. Are you talking about a shutdown?

Of course he disagrees and hopes to have a good talk with the players. Anyway, he is not short of money when the Pistons lose money.

What impressed him most was the two big-ass heroines beside old Bass, and he still remembers them to this day.

He thought to himself, I am his father, but I am still an illegitimate child.

The seats of the Los Angeles Clippers were right next to the Lakers. Jeanie Buss waved to Min Congda and motioned for him to come over and sit down.

Stern looked around and saw that Min Congda had not spoken, so he asked: "Smart, what do you have to say?"

The bosses spoke one after another and soon divided into two groups. Contrary to what Min Congda thought, the ones who can accept the suspension are not the big teams that make money, but the small teams that lose money.

For example, Pistons owner Tom Gores hopes that the new season will go smoothly.

Rumors about "illegitimate children" have been circulating in NBA circles.

Each of the 30 teams has one seat, and the round table means everyone is equal.

Of course Jenny Bass thought he was joking, but Min Congda was really not joking. The free lunch was too important to him.

Both sides have their own reasons, and they argue endlessly, unable to reach a unified opinion.

Gores' words are quite nice.

Gail Miller is the widow of former Jazz owner Larry Miller, who also died in 2009.

Because the Hornets are under league trusteeship, representatives from 29 teams were actually present.

Stern asked at the beginning: "It is very likely that this negotiation will be suspended. Can you accept the losses caused by the suspension? If so, stop it. If not, the management may as well make some concessions."

"The lockout will not only lose money, but also the market, goodwill, fans' attention, and most importantly, the NBA's brand. This is difficult to measure with money."

Boozer left the team, and Deron Williams publicly confronted the meritorious coach Jerry Sloan on the court.

At this time, Jazz owner Gale Miller stood up and believed that the game should be suspended instead of allowing the players to continue to receive such high wages.

"Young man, are you really not Sterling's illegitimate son? Now he really doesn't care about anything and leaves everything to you."

Sitting next to Aunt Jenny, Auntie took the initiative to move closer to Min Congda, and Min Congda subconsciously leaned a little to the side.

With his departure, the Pistons' Fab Five disbanded, the city of Detroit went bankrupt, and a basketball era in the Motor City ended.

The Pistons have suffered heavy losses in the past two years, and Davidson's wife, who inherited the team's assets, has no intention of continuing her husband's career.

As this meeting is not open to the public, no polite words will be exchanged.

I gave up communicating with him for the time being, and when the other bosses arrived, the meeting was about to begin.

She wanted to establish a good relationship with Min Congda. As a competitor for the future boss of the Lakers, Jenny saw the potential of a super manager in Min Congda.

There are also some super bosses like Paul Allen and others who are too lazy to take care of trivial matters like the NBA, so just send a small boss to attend the meeting.

After the death of Larry Miller, the Jazz experienced turmoil.

It can be said that the death and aging of outstanding owners like Miller and Davidson who have accompanied the team for many years and witnessed the glory of the NBA have exacerbated the chaos in the league.

After a few awkward conversations, Jenny Bass discovered that she and this guy were not on the same channel at all.

"The high-paid players in the league are spoiled. They say they are united to fight for the rights of all players, but in fact the players who have the most say are the players with the highest salaries. They have not been short of money for a long time. They will definitely

The degree is not much different from ours. The Jazz lost 17 million US dollars last season. Look at these players, which one did not earn this money? I support the shutdown!"

Of course, Min Congda was a big hindrance, directly lowering the average.

But as a profitable party, he has no motivation to stop, so he has to wait for the opportunity.

At this time Stern asked, Min Congda said: "I think everyone should stop arguing. Since everyone has different opinions, let's just create a new league and start another game."

The originally noisy venue suddenly became quiet, and everyone looked at Min Congda with different expressions.

Stern looked at Min Congda with a deep look and said, "Smart, what did you just say? Do you mean you want to create a new NBA?"
