To put it in a pretentious way, the wheel of time is rolling forward, Christmas Eve is coming, and December is about to end.

In the alliance in February, nothing major happened, at least it did not affect the rotation of the earth and the development of the United States. However, there are rivers and lakes where there are people. NHAO is still a chaotic river and lake. In short, several things that attract people's attention have happened.

The first thing is that next year's labor-management negotiations may not have a good result. Now the capital and labor have begun to argue, and both sides put pressure on each other. The players' reaction is to express their intention to leave the United States next year to play basketball and make a living.

However, this set is not very effective for investors.

If NHAI players could use "going to Europe to earn euros" as bargaining chips in the summer of 26, forcing the team to issue a generous contract for themselves, they still want to do this as a transition plan for the league's suspension and force the bosses to make concessions in labor-management negotiations, which may be a mistake.

Two years ago, the United States was deeply troubled by the economic crisis, while the euro was in a strong period and the exchange rate was rising. In addition, the arms race between European powerhouses was getting worse and worse, so they spent a lot of money to attract good foreign aid.

As a result, those players who were not satisfied with only taking the NHA middle class clause went to the European League to make gold, which caused panic for a while. There were even rumors that giants like Olympiacos had the idea of ​​superstars such as Kobe...

Even so, after the European style blows NHAO, it is filled with thunder and rain. Nowadays, the overall economic situation in Europe is not better than that of the United States in the past. The strength of the euro against the US dollar no longer exists, and the attractiveness of the European League has undoubtedly dropped to a higher level.

What is certain is that Kobe, James and the others will not go to Europe to play, as the "Big Bird" Bird once said: "Even if I give me an annual salary of 30 million euros, I will not leave the NHAf] European League."

Moreover, the conditions for European teams to offer high after-tax and free use of luxury cars are certainly attractive, but in the mainland where football is the number one sport, the star effect of basketball players is always limited - as both world champions, Spanish basketball players are far less popular than those of their own football players.

Therefore, it is naturally much more difficult to get a generous commercial contract. Jasco Visions and Navarro, a well-known superstar in Europe, has a huge magnitude gap between the endorsement fees and the NHA superstars. For example, the "Emperor" who earned as much as 360,000 US dollars last year, may be fine to go to Europe for a short period of time, but the image loss caused by time will be huge.

On the other hand, it is not easy for those unfamous role players to return from Europe with a full load.

Among the players who earned euros in recent years, the only one who really got what they wanted was the current Suns forward Chadris. European clubs seem to be rich, but there are loopholes in the boss's control of life and death. Once they perform poorly or the team's record is bad, "geting high salaries" will naturally become a crime. Three stops (suspension and training suspensions) or even directly abolishing the contract.

Former Hornets defender Pago and former Rockets defender Weaver have been deducted by the club's salary, and even after passing the PIB arbitration court, they have not recovered... Otherwise, how could they go back now? They try every means to stay in the NH

It's so good to be at home, but everything is difficult to go out. For American players, if it weren't for Pistons defender Will Bynum that year, he could only go to Europe to "save the country on the curve", staying in China would always be the first choice.

Some players have also said that if the contract is signed, the contract with Europe will be accompanied by a special clause that "the contract can be terminated early after the suspension of NHAl is over." However, European teams are really willing to be temporary residences, so these players can come and go freely? Moreover, most European leagues have restrictions on the number of foreign players, so where can so many positions be left for NHAI players?

However, if NHAl is suspended, Europe will definitely be a major destination for players who want to continue their careers.

For example, Jennings, who had been through Italy, expressed his willingness to play in Europe again.

Even if it keeps going, the league will eventually follow the boss's proposal to cut the players' salary to the current 6, so it will be difficult to stop some players from going to Europe to make gold.

"Many people want to play overseas, which can keep their shape," Chamberlain said in an interview. "Many players are family members. During the suspension, many people will play overseas for $1 million."

"Then which team are you going to go to in Europe?" the reporter asked immediately.

Chamberlain laughed and said, "No, I won't go to Europe. I lost too many European teams during the World Championships. They must hate me very much, so I won't cause trouble. If I want to leave the NHA, I will of course return to China to play E."

"Go to E" West.

"fl." Curry.

"Bring me." Carter.

"Is there any seat left?" Iverson.

Now that EAl is rising, it is not so easy to get into. Seven or eight years ago, which EAI club hired a player who was selected in the training camp will be given star treatment. In the past three seasons, if the worker has not played in the official NHA game and is not named, it will be difficult to be noticed by the EAI club.

After Marbury airborne EAO this season, this trend was infinitely amplified. After all, he was an NHAR All-Star player and had a championship ring on his hand. Although he was with Chamberlain, so what about him? Instead, he had an experience with Chamberlain's teammates, which gave him extra points.

After Marbury came to EA, Francis, Ricky Davis, Quincy Dolby, Crittanton and others all joined EA. EA is not short of money. Many clubs are supported by state-owned enterprises or large private enterprises. For the purpose of challenging the championship or expanding their popularity, the club is becoming more and more interested in NHAI players.

For those players who cannot play in the NHA for the time being, EA is a good place to go. The frequency of events is not intensive, the high salary level, and the courtesy of superstars are the reasons for them to choose EAR. At the same time, due to the experience and lessons accumulated in the past few years, EAI Club's attitude towards introducing NHA big-name players is becoming more and more cautious, and its management methods are becoming more mature. The activity and formality of the EAR Scoop market are increasing.

Of course, if Chamberlain really decides to come to EA, all the teams will definitely come and grab it. This is a real super giant and you have to win it any amount of money. It is a trivial matter for him to revitalize a team by himself. More importantly, he can even save a brand. For details, please refer to Champions Sports.

For the Warriors, there is another big thing in February.

NHA champions have this tradition. When the team challenged the Washington Wizards away in the new season, they would receive the reception from the US president at the White House. However, when the Warriors started to travel east to Washington in 10 months, Obama was on a friendly visit in Sweden, so the two sides failed to meet, so the matter was delayed. Obama invited Warriors players to bring their families to the White House in Washington to spend Christmas Eve together.

Although the United States has always advocated the nonsense of human rights and democracy being born equal, in fact, the difference in class is the most obvious in this country. It is a big deal to celebrate Christmas Eve at the White House. Before Christmas Eve came, the Warriors began to prepare.

What clothes to wear, what hairstyle to keep, what car to drive, and how many people to bring, all need to be determined in advance, and even what color of hairband to wear on the day are given.

Chamberlain still has to bring his jersey, because Obama is also a basketball enthusiast. The media has reported that for this reunion, Obama has prepared a basketball hoop and he will ask Chamberlain for advice on Christmas Eve.

Another big thing is much more important, that is, the Hornets are about to become the first team in NHA history to be officially controlled.

In February, the league formally determined a plan to temporarily acquire ownership of the Hornets, a move that followed Major League Baseball E) attempted to temporarily take over the Montreal Expo team, which was soon sold and moved to Washington, renamed the current Washington National

The Hornets' home attendance rate this season is sluggish, ranking 27th in the league. According to the agreement, if the team's average attendance in 13 home games from February 1 to 21st 17th, 2011, the team will have the right to terminate the agreement with Louisiana and move out of New Orleans.

Hornets' big boss Sheehn had considered transferring the team's equity to the small boss Joester, but the negotiations have been stagnant for various reasons. Stern said: "This is because of the environmental factors of New Orleans, the negotiations between them have not taken a step further. No buyers have yet to propose an acquisition of the Hornets, so we are preparing to acquire the Hornets as a league."

According to news that Chamberlain heard, after the successful acquisition of the Hornets, the league will hire Spurling to temporarily manage the team. This person was originally the vice chairman of the NHL league Minnesota Savages and will mainly be responsible for the operation and sales of the Hornets. The team's current president Hugh Webber will continue to serve.

Although Stern did not disclose the specific amount of the acquisition of Hornets in the interview, according to industry insiders, the market value of Hornets will be around - billion US dollars.

The current team boss Sheean founded the Hornets in 196. They moved to New Orleans in two years. After Hurricane Katrina, they also briefly moved the team home court to Oklahoma.

In the first nine home games of this season, the Hornets averaged only 1,386 fans on the spot. Since this spring, Sheen has been interested in selling the Hornets, but he has never found a suitable buyer, and the league finally took over.

Another thing is that Chamberlain and the Warriors are more popular with Birdmen, that is, the conflict between James and the Cavaliers. The Heat and the Cavaliers are in the East, so these two teams will naturally meet often.

The league knows that there is definitely nothing good about James' return to the Cavaliers' home court, so when the schedule is scheduled, the Heat and the Cavaliers have not been arranged for a long time, but the ugly daughter-in-law always has to meet her parents-in-law. In mid-February, James and his Heat returned to Cleveland.

When James appeared in a Heat training shirt, there was nothing but booing. Such a spectacular booing had never been more spectacular than Celtic fans who had been entertaining their decades-old rivals, the Lakers.

At the Cavaliers' home court, slogans insulting the emperor can be seen everywhere. A fan held a slogan saying "Are you here? Kneel and ask for mercy (81a). There are fans wearing "Ly King" T-shirts that directly mocked James' decision this summer.

At the beginning of the game, James had to welcome the booing of the whole audience every time he received the ball, and every time he made a black splash, he would inevitably be crazy cheers in his ears.

When he first stood on the free throw line, he was greeted by the standing swearing of all the fans and the white "aIt" slogans full of white eyes. The fans' insults never stopped the whole game, and many media said that yesterday's Cavaliers' home court created the strongest booing in history, which was enough to be discouraged by Chamberlain's Oracle Center.

From a hero in this city, the emperor became the "public enemy of the whole city" today, returning to the Cleveland Speed ​​Loan Arena, facing the strongest booing or even curse in history. It doesn't matter. James still dares to sprinkle magnesium powder here arrogantly, and finally scored 3 points, B assists and 6 rebounds and 0 turnovers with a perfect performance against his old club director. Three points are also the highest score in a single game this season.

In an interview after the game, James proudly said that no matter how many people accused him of betrayal, his attitude was still clear and he would not apologize for leaving Cleveland and choosing to leave the Cavaliers.
