Chapter 1000 You Will Regret It!

"agree."

"agree."

"agree."

…

The rain outside the window is getting heavier and heavier, and the sky is getting darker.

If it weren't for the lights in the conference room, everyone inside might feel like they were locked in a dark room.

Accompanying this kind of weather are votes of agreement one after another, and the occasional vote of disapproval that pops up.

In the middle of the counting, a helpless smile appeared on Tatum's face.

There is no way I was so lucky that I saved all the votes I disagreed with until the end.

Xiao Hua's comeback is almost certain.

Benson's face looked particularly ugly at this time.

Sure enough, paying attention to immediate interests is a characteristic shared by Americans.

In the future, this is not something they will consider.

"disagree."

"disagree."

"disagree."

…

At this moment, three consecutive votes of disagreement brought Tatum and Benson back to reality.

Is there really a metaphysics?

The votes taken out at the front are all for approval, and the remaining votes at the end are all for disapproval?

In fact, as long as there are 7 votes to disagree, Xiao Hua cannot come back.

The probability itself is very high.

And now about halfway through, there are already 5 people who disagree.

"agree."

"agree."

…

But soon, their thoughts disappeared, because soon the sound of agreement sounded in the conference room.

"Uh-huh."

After 29 votes were cast, 24 agreed and 5 disagreed. The result is already in.

"disagree."

The staff took out the last ticket and announced.

The final result was 24 votes in favor and 6 votes against.

Maybe God made a joke, and the number of votes was just right.

Xiao Hua, after taking a half-year break, will return as the league president.

Although there will still be a one-year inspection period just like when he first took office.

"Boom~"

After a big flash of lightning outside the window, there was a huge thunder.

"boom!"

Just after the counting was over, Benson slammed the table angrily.

Essentially, she is not the boss, her husband is.

So she doesn't have the power of other bosses for the time being, and she really can't stand the scene in front of her.

These team owners, even if Tang Tian talked to her so much, still only care about themselves.

"You will regret it!"

After saying this, she walked out of the conference room, leaving all the bosses looking at each other.

Jenny Bass laughed at this time.

New Orleans is originally a small city, and the Pelicans are also a small team. They have been lucky enough to catch Tang Tian in the past two years.

Especially last season, without Tatum's reforms, the Warriors might have won.

Now that Xiao Hua is back, the Lakers have great possibilities in the free market, and it's time for the Lakers to return to their top.

"Thanks."

Xiao Hua stood up from his seat at this time, with a smile on his face.

At the end of the roll call, he had become the league president again.

After he stood up, he glanced at the empty seat left by Benson, and the smile on his face grew wider.

Pretending to be ill for half a year was like being imprisoned, and he was about to become seriously depressed.

But fortunately, his publicity on social media worked, and he also allowed Durant to take the blame for himself, so no one suspected him at all.

Coupled with the benefits he gave some teams in private, he finally came back.

This alliance still belongs to him.

Pelicans?

Tang Tian?

They are all just passing by.

And after experiencing it last time, he will be more careful.

"I see."

Before the alliance meeting ended, Tang Tian had already learned the news from Benson.

Xiao Hua's comeback made his plan A fail, and now he can only go to plan B.

He called Dempsey and asked him to come to his manor immediately.

"Xiao Hua returns to take charge of the league."

After this news was exposed by the media, it was like an earthquake in the league, and social media exploded.

"Holy shit, what the hell is going on! Tatum has done such a good job in the alliance, and he's going to step down as soon as he says he's going to step down?!"

"It's over. The league, which has only been good for half a season, is going to be over again!"

"Hey, I've only been back in the NBA for half a year, and I'm enjoying watching the games! Now that something like this is happening, is it going to make me give up on the NBA again?!"

"I really want to curse people. I remember that many people complained about Tatum before, and it was all your fault!"

"The blame belongs to the bosses of each team, right? Xiao Hua can come back without their consent? These people just don't listen to Tang's advice, they only know the money in front of them! Money! Money!"

"It's normal to have money, but it's just hard for us fans because we don't have games to watch~"

…

Although many people on social media are just talking about it, there is a clear sense of pessimism permeating the air.

If Silver hadn't stepped down, Tatum hadn't taken office, and the league hadn't returned to the basketball of the early 1900s, fans wouldn't know how great it would be.

But it would be really uncomfortable to let them go back to the past after they are happy now.

It's impossible for them to change the league's decision-making, and it's impossible not to watch the NBA, but it's inevitable to get excited.

While the fans were cheering, Xiao Hua's comeback speech was subsequently exposed by the media.

In addition to some conventional remarks, Xiao Hua's statements about future plans attracted strong attention from the outside world.

Xiao Hua said that he will no longer blindly tighten the penalty scale. He has seen the changes in the league in the past six months, and he also realizes the importance of watching the game.

But he also saw that superstars were injured and would tighten it appropriately to ensure the enjoyment of the game and reduce player injuries.

He will also retain the number of times the team can challenge the referee, but change it from two times to once, which can appropriately speed up the progress of the game.

These measures also have the support of fans.

Overall, this is an improvement over Tatum's measures.

Of course, none of these are actually that attention-grabbing. The important thing is the last two points.

Xiao Hua said that he would consider putting the legalization of gambling on the agenda, which can increase the attention and fan participation in each game.

At the same time, he also proposed a more long-term plan.

Now the league has too many 82 regular season games in a season, which is also an important reason for player injuries.

Moreover, the overly long season also makes fans tired, especially after the trade deadline, the attention to the game will obviously decrease.

So he considered shortening the season to 58 games, which would ensure that each team meets at least twice a season and solve the problem perfectly.

And because of the income problems caused by the reduction of competition venues, he is also considering adding a mid-season tournament during the season.

This not only ensures revenue, but also allows fans to pay more attention to the game than before through a tournament similar to the playoffs.

"It's a perfect plan."

According to Xiao Hua's description at the meeting, he is quite confident in this plan.

It is expected that in two years at the earliest, after the details of this plan are completed, it can be officially launched.

ps: I recommend a new book "The King of Basketball Stalks", which has a cameo appearance from Squidward and there are quite a lot of stalkers. If you like it, you can read it. It's a good new book.
