Son of God in the Madness of Basketball

Chapter 1881



On December 7, 2011, it was destined to be an extraordinary day in the history of NBA. On this day, David Stern appeared on TV and made a TV speech. In the speech, stern also officially announced to the outside world that the lockout started on July 1 officially ended.

Stern said it would be his last agreement in office.

"It\'s a fair labor agreement," Stern said, "and it\'s going to be my last labor agreement, because it\'s a 10-year agreement."

"It\'s finally over..." Looking at the old man in the TV, Ji Feng is comfortably lying on the sofa. In the past two months, although he has not participated in the whole negotiation process, he is still very tired.

In fact, the two sides reached an agreement on the 26th of last month. After a total of 22 hours of negotiation and voting in the first two days, the suspense finally ended and a new agreement was born.

In the just concluded internal vote of the players\' Union and the vote of the team owners, both sides agreed to reach a new labor agreement. Among them, the owners of 30 teams voted that 25 teams agreed and 5 teams opposed.

According to the voting rules, as long as the two sides get half of the vote, they will accept the new agreement.

For the management, as long as 15 bosses raise their hands, it will be considered as a pass; for the labor, due to the large number of players, the electronic voting of the labor camp will be conducted under the supervision of the American Arbitration Association, and as long as half of the votes are in favor, it means accepting the new agreement.

Now the result is that most people on both sides have voted for it, which means that the lockout is officially over and the new season is coming to us.

The specific content of the agreement is very complicated. It involves all the details you can imagine about all aspects of the alliance, which is why the ice breaking was announced in October and the new agreement was not really passed until the end of November.

After the end of the lockout, the loss caused by the lockout is also placed in front of everyone. The lockout period of nearly five months has had a huge impact on both employers and employees, the brand influence of NBA and all aspects, especially in the economic aspect.

In terms of players, David Stern has cancelled all the Games in the first six weeks, a total of 321 games. The direct economic loss of players has reached 530 million US dollars, while the loss of the league is more than 1.2 billion US dollars. With the loss of 200 million US dollars in pre-season games, the total economic loss of employers and employees is as high as 1.93 billion US dollars.

In addition, it can be seen from the above figures that the economic losses of the owners are much higher than those of the players during the NBA lockout period, and there is a gap of at least twice between the two.

One thing is certain, because the income of the team has been greatly affected; in fact, because the league has been losing money in recent years, many advertisers want to stop the cooperation with the NBA. It\'s just a stop for them to get out.

Therefore, in the upcoming 2011-12 shrinking season, the League will lose a lot of advertising sponsorship; last season, the league\'s revenue in this area was $600 million; whether the new season can reach half is still unknown.

More importantly, although this year\'s lockout is not too long, the NBA has lost a lot of fans. I believe the attendance rate of the new season will show the same downward trend as after the lockout 13 years ago.

However, with regard to the specific content of the agreement and the impact, most fans do not care except for some fans who like this field. They only care about one thing, that is, the NBA is finally going to play a second round!

Their happiness is coming back at last!!!

And then the fans in the heart of the question again, that is, the specific arrangements for the new season is how.

Fortunately, NBA officials are obviously not willing to let fans wait more. After all, they have lost too much time. In order to make up for the lack of time, on the night of the 7th, just eight hours after Stern\'s speech, the arrangements for the new season have been made.

Due to the suspension and shrinking season, the 2011-12 season will only have 16 days for NBA teams to carry out training camp, and each NBA team can only play two pre-season games.

According to the latest arrangement of the NBA, the 16 day training camp will start on December 9 local time. During the training camp, NBA teams will be able to sign free agents and prepare for the start of the regular season.

And the NBA regular season of the new season will officially start on Christmas Day!

Due to the shrinking season caused by NBA lockout, NBA schedule will become closer. Each NBA team will play 66 regular season games in 119 days, and the total number of regular games in NBA will be 990.

"It\'s too devil for me to go to this new season." Ji Feng looked at the schedule fax sent by James and felt numb. This season is definitely a test for them.

In the whole schedule, the NBA has arranged a total of 42 back-to-back games, each team has at least one, some more than one.

In the relatively easy back-to-back competition, the League arranged 529 games in total. That\'s 2.5 times last season.Take the Laker\'s schedule as an example. They started with three games in a row. After the Christmas game to meet the bulls, there were kings and jazz for two days in a row.

Because the Lakers are the most popular team in the league, there are plans for holidays such as Christmas, the day before the new year and new year\'s day.

The Lakers play three games against the thunder and two games against the heat throughout the season.

In January, the Lakers will have a difficult schedule. First, they will play the Mavericks at home, then they will play the heat and magic away.

The Lakers have two back-to-back games!

"It\'s amazing." Ji Feng is really convinced. Is this Stern\'s revenge? Do you want to be so cruel.

The schedule of the Lakers is definitely the most devilish part of the 30 teams. The only one who can compete with the Lakers is the Celtics. From April 13 to 15, the green shirts will face the Raptors, nets and bobcats for three consecutive days, and they will have 19 back-to-back games, which is slightly higher than the average level.

In March, they will face one of the most difficult games, nine out of 10 away games. On the opponent side, they will meet the heat bulls four times, and the thunder Mavericks and the Lakers play two times.

If you look at the heat, not only do they have only one back-to-back game in the whole season, but the schedule at the beginning of the season is just a walk. Only five of their first 12 opponents entered the playoffs last season.

"These back-to-back games are difficult for every team, we are a young team, but we also feel tired After learning about the schedule, Hawks\' Josh Smith said in front of the media.

Even the Hawks, with an average age of only 25 years old, will feel tired, not to mention the Lakers, a team dominated by veterans. Moreover, the schedule is also very unfavorable, which undoubtedly makes it more difficult for the Lakers to achieve five consecutive titles in the new season.

"Not much, boss. Maybe we need to change our mind in the new season Ji Feng said to Kobe on the phone.
