On that day, David Stern called a meeting of officials and he planned to do something.`

The Bulls won six consecutive games at the start of the game, and they played very easily and did not encounter any challenges. Now the Bulls are undoubtedly the biggest favorite to win the championship in the new season, and Wang Jun is the hottest star.

Looking at the Western Conference rankings, the Mavericks, Suns and Spurs all lost only one game and tied for first place.

The first two teams are also the core of international players. The two key players of the Spurs Parker are French and Ginobili are Argentine.

Domestic stars play well in core players, in addition to the Cavaliers and Lakers, there are also Hornets.

The Hornets rose after introducing Ben Wallace and Stojakovic, but their momentum was far less than that of other teams.

The teams where new stars such as Wade and Anthony are located are so suppressed that they can't raise their heads.

The cruel reality stimulated the Americans' nerves again, and David Stern began to feel that the league had changed. After the World Championships, many American fans thought that the American team was not the most powerful basketball team in the world.

Asking four right-hand assistants into the conference room, Stern told his thoughts straight to the point.

"With Lewis this season, the Bulls have become stronger. They win easily. As long as there is no big accident, they will definitely enter the finals. However, they have already made the Eastern Conference lack the necessary competition. In addition, the top Western Conference is also the core teams of international players. If you want to change this situation, what do you think is there?"

Stern intends to support local stars and suppress international players, but he doesn't want people to see it.`

He has helped a large number of international players join the NBA and expanded the overseas market. However, foreign players dominate the league, which is not what he wants to see. After all, the largest piece of NBA cake is in the local area.

He believes that only by dominating the league in the United States can American fans be happy. Foreign players may be able to accept that the league is dominated by foreign players within one or two years. If this is the case for a long time, will they be disappointed with their own people?

Walking on thin ice and preparing for the future is the best mentality for the superiors. And wanting to set up a archway after becoming a leader is the disadvantage of many superiors, and David Stern is no exception.

The four assistants began to think. They understood the president's idea. International players won regular season MVP for two consecutive seasons. If international players won awards this year, it would be a blow to American basketball.

The embarrassment of alliance officials is that they can only manipulate from behind the scenes. Many things cannot be put on the table.

The Bulls' transaction was very successful. Both Yin and Bulls had an intention, so they could not find any reason to interfere. This is the rule of the game.

The Bulls have a strong role player, and the league can't order the Bulls management to trade out a few people and exchange them for garbage contracts. If they could play like this, the NBA would have broken up long ago.

Therefore, NBA is relatively fair. At most, the referees will occasionally play tricks on one or two games, and the parties will notice it, which is within the acceptance range of most fans.`

Arrange the referee to target the Bulls? This plan was denied last season.

Chinese fans are not blind. There are no teams in the East that can compete with the Bulls. Blowing a black whistle is as conspicuous as wearing a night outfit in broad daylight.

Adam Xiao Hua was the first to speak. "I think we can start from three aspects. First, give local stars some preferential treatment on the whistle; second, the media will increase the promotion of local stars; third, it can suppress irrelevant teams and prompt them to play badly in advance and rebuild, resulting in some big deals."

Stern smiled and said, "Can you elaborate on the third point?"

Xiao Hua put on his glasses and smiled and said, "The only star who can be compared with Wang Jun in the East is LeBron, but the depth of the Cavaliers lineup is obviously not as deep as the Bulls. They want to make big deals in the summer, but they have no success. If they have weak strength but have a glimmer of hope for the playoffs, they cannot make up their minds to rebuild. No one will see that. They may also be willing to trade, so as to play better."

Vice President assistant Mark Tatum responded: "Just ask the scouts, it's easy to find out which player the Cavaliers are interested in getting, and then you can buy it."

Xiao Hua nodded. He was very satisfied with the supplements made by his partner. It was his plan for a team that could trade but hesitate.

His shirt was white, he sat on the sand with a gentle smile, and his image was like an old pedantic, but he was really a traitor. He was black-bellied and shrewd.

Others also understood Xiao Hua’s thoughts.

The referee no longer gives the whistle, and a player is called a foul as soon as he defends, and the data has declined. These factors may cause the team management to release people, and the fans will not see the clues, even if someone sees it, it is a very small number.

The low-popular balloon team that is not paid attention to, even if a die-hard fan sees the problem, not many people believe it after saying it.

This kind of thing has not been done once or twice, but not for the transaction, but for the determination of the playoff team.

Just look at the previous data, it is not difficult to see. In the season when the playoffs are fierce, 80% of the teams who broke through in the end were teams with higher commercial value.

For example, last season's Lakers, if you compare the data in detail, you will see the overall free throw number. The gap between the Lakers and the main opponents in the second half of the playoffs is very obvious. Not only Kobe has more free throws, but also has more free throws.

The opponent's overall free throw count in the first half is normal, and the second half is directly the last, not the top three. The media didn't even mention this. The league is to ensure that big city teams enter the playoffs.

Stern was very satisfied with this suggestion. He took a fancy to Xiao Hua, so he promoted him to the position of vice president. After he retired, he was probably the successor.

"You can make a plan for specific content and email me tomorrow."

"OK."

When Clark, who was competing for the position of president in the future, saw that Xiao Hua was the first, he hurriedly stood up and spoke and expressed his opinions.

It doesn't matter if he says it wrong. If he doesn't say anything and doesn't have any way, he will seem too incompetent.

His suggestion was "swordsmanship", which shocked everyone.

Clark said: "I think the Bulls can be used to win local stars. At the same time, the media publicity should let people know that the Bulls played well and it is not Wang Jun's credit for Wang Jun, and his teammates are very strong. There is a person who is more suitable to be the core of the team than him."

Xiao Hua couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Don't you think that the media would praise Lewis for a few more words, and fans would think that he was better than Wang Jun, right? Not to mention the Bulls, are other teams more efficient than him?"

The reason why Lewis was able to get to the Bulls was because he couldn't grab the position of the boss. This man's personality was obviously a younger brother. Others, including Stern, all laughed.

Stern asked: "Clark, please explain, who else can the Bulls praise besides Lewis? Hinrich, Lorden, Chandler, are all team players who can defend and cannot threaten Wang Jun's status."

Clark was not angry and said confidently: "Of course this season won't work. What I'm thinking about next season is to use Wang Jun and the Bulls to pick up a star, Greg Oden!"

"What?" Xiao Hua was stunned.

Stern rubbed his chin and thought about the possibility of doing so.

This is completely a big idea, and Clark really dared to think about it. Others also guessed what his plan was one by one.
