Sock dance.

It’s not that Andy’s mouth is too toxic. In fact, because the overall economic environment deteriorates, the market-based NBA alliance has felt unprecedented pressure.

As an entertainment industry, for ordinary American families, they are bored when they are rich in funds. Why do they go to the stadium for nothing now? It’s not clearer to watch the TV?

When the stars are not appealing enough, the NBA can only put more time on "beautiful SE". That's why the cheerleaders of the NBA are now performing fewer and more "exciting" performances, and there are more and more programs to perform. In the absence of attractiveness of the competition, the cheerleaders' performances can indeed become one of the few highlights.

Although Stern had the urge to vomit blood when it comes to Andy's words, he also knew the meaning of ridicule. Stern, who had been struggling in the mall for many years, had smelled the danger as early as last year.

In April 2008, a few months before the U.S. stock market fell in a comprehensive decline, he had a vision to gather club owners to discuss possible economic downturns and countermeasures. The subsequent situation was worse than he expected. The rapid decline in the global economy made Stern decide to take the lead. Before the NBA regular season began this season, the league made the decision to lay off employees.

NBA headquarters lay off 9% of its employees, with the number of laid off as many as 80. This move makes NBA the first sports league in the United States to lay off employees in the financial tsunami.

"This is also impossible. The financial crisis has forced us to live a life of tightening our belts." Stern sighed.

However, the business trader still expressed hope for the future of NBA. He continued: "The stock market fell by 30% to 40%. Such a cruel fact is in front of us, so it is normal for us to reduce our returns by 1% or 2%. We must see the current economic situation clearly because we don't know what else will happen. But we are confident that we can survive this financial crisis.

Besides, NBA relies not only on the American market, but also on the economy of Europe, especially the Celestial Empire, and will not be as difficult as the United States is now..."

It is not difficult to smell from the words of the league president that the Celestial Empire has become his biggest way to save the NBA economy. As the most popular Rockets in the Celestial Empire market, it is undoubtedly the most jealous of all NBA teams. Especially after winning the championship this year, the Rockets' popularity in the Celestial Empire is almost unparalleled, and the Rockets' players have received all the commercial activities of the Celestial Empire this summer.

"The league can play two regular season games in the Celestial Empire as before, such as our Rockets vs. Lakers. I think this game can make all participants happy. You think, Mr. President."

Andy's face showed a sunny smile and looked at David Stern proposing.

David Stern also looked at Andy with a smile and said, "It seems that we have thought of going together, but what is the situation of Yao Yao's injury? Will he be able to play at that time? After all, he is the pride of the people of the Celestial Empire. Without his game, the effect will be reduced."

"Haha." Hearing Stern's problem, Andy couldn't help but shake his head and laugh. Since winning the championship, Yao Yao has claimed to be injured in his left foot. Because the game has been persisted until the end of the finals, and now he needs to start treatment, which has caused an uproar in the outside world.

In fact, the Rockets have long known about Yao Yao's injuries, but they did not reveal this to the outside world. They just said in a vague tone that "the situation is not clear" and that various speculations appearing from the outside world are simply ridiculous. Prophecies such as Yao Yao were seriously injured and facing retirement are almost filled with all sports reports from China and the United States.

"He has nothing to do, the left script was injured, but it was more caused by fatigue. After a period of rest and conservative treatment, there is no big deal. So, you can rest assured that the Rockets' goal next season is to defend the championship!"

"Haha, that's good." David Stern looked at the young richest man in the world in front of him and felt extremely emotional. It was undoubtedly a very correct thing to agree and help the young man join the league. It not only brought more attention to the league, but also brought many changes to the league.

Although the league is not something he is willing to see in a group and form a giant team, it is not entirely a bad thing. In any case, the ratings of the Rockets' championship game this year have created history, and the number of viewers around the world is almost comparable to the Olympics. Well, it's a bit exaggerated to say that.

"Then it's decided that the first regular season game between the Rockets and the Lakers will be arranged in the Tianchao!"

"No problem. Things that everyone benefits." Andy smiled, "However, I still have to give some advice. Regarding the referee's penalty for Yaoyao, I believe that a healthy Yaoyao is very important to the Rockets and more important to the league. At present, it seems that the Tianchao Yi cannot replace Yaoyao. Once Yaoyao leaves the league, I believe that although the league will not lose the Tianchao market, it will definitely be a half-discount. Therefore, I hope the league can take more care of Yaoyao. This is a very cost-effective deal for the league. What do you think, Mr. President?"

"..." David Stern pulled the corner of his mouth, shook his head helplessly and said, "He has received a lot of care."

"Haha, Mr. President, don't joke. The five-step layup and second-dribble were taken care of by the Little Emperor's n-step layup. Don't wait until the loss is lost before regretting it. Yao Yao has been violated on the court. I don't want to see him ruined by some garbage. Such a loss is too great. I will be crazy if I lose hundreds of millions of dollars a year!"

Andy said as she smiled and looked at each other with a bright and sharp look with a frown David Stern. He had already thought about it before he came this time and would win a star whistle for Yaoyao no matter what. Even if it was not as exaggerated as Kobe and James, Yaoyao would still enjoy the treatment of the referee paying attention to protection at all times, so that Yaoyao would become a hedgehog, so as to ensure that Yaoyao would not be attacked.

Andy also took great pains to deal with the money tree of Yao Yao.

"You little guy... Haha, you really will give me some problems." David Stern showed a helpless smile on his face, shook his head and smiled, "He is 2.26 tall and weighs nearly 300 pounds, and there is almost no solution in the inside. In addition, his offensive skills are very rich, so it is impossible to lock him alone..."

In fact, everyone knows that Yao Yao and O'Neal at the time were too large, had tonnage and strength, and it was really difficult to defend without small moves. Although the defender had countless small moves, as long as it was not too obvious, the referee generally did not give a whistle.

"Then you can't be fair to the player just because he is too strong. The shark-cutting tactics have long been notorious. Yao Yao is not that big shark, so he is so resistant!"

"puff--"

Hearing Andy say this, David Stern almost spat out a mouthful of old blood again, looking at Andy with a strange look, shook his head and said, "Okay, I will ask the referees to pay more attention to the 'fair' penalty."

However, David Stern looked at the smile on Andy's face again, and made a joke to make Andy disturb him: "By the way, the league has passed the request for Larry Ellison to join the Warriors. Next season, I'm going to let the Rockets and the Warriors have a Christmas battle. Also, I heard that you and Larry are a little unhappy, really?"

"Haha, nothing is wrong. You arranged the Warriors to play against our Rockets in Christmas. Are you obviously going to bully the Warriors? If the score is too different, don't regret it." Andy smiled and shook his head to deny it, but he also complained about the old guy's old 13.
