Chapter 110 Offensive and defensive polarities (546)

Who are the beneficiaries of the NFL lockout?

There is only one answer, the NBA.

In recent years, the players' unions of the four major leagues have been fighting for more income. The NHL in previous years, the MLB last year, and the NFL this year have all come to the stage of suspension.

The lockout is not only a loss of income for the players, but also the team has suffered heavy losses. Even the TV station that signed the broadcast contract with them will also face problems.

The NFL lockout has CBS allocating more of its live quota to the NBA.

And, after several rounds of publicity, the ratings were okay.

According to statistics, during the NFL lockout, CBS increased the live broadcast of NBA games, and each game received an average of 5 million viewers.

It was an accident and a surprise.

In late November, the NFL is back. Nearly two months of lockout, players lost 72 million in revenue, and teams lost 240 million in revenue, the two sides did not reach an agreement, but were forced to live by financial pressure.

But for the owners, no agreement is success, which means they can continue the season on the old collective bargaining agreement.

The lockout of the NFL's players' union was a complete failure.

Their failure will undoubtedly put a lot of pressure on the NBA, which is also negotiating a collective bargaining agreement.

If the shutdown does not solve the problem, the union really has no other effective weapon to influence the boss's decision.

Larry Fleischer, who never played a second on the field but contributed more to the union and the players than any other player, asserted: "The NFLPA's failure stems from They are not united enough and they are not strong enough."

This is Fleischer's response to whether the NBAPA is determined to fight for rights and interests by shutting down after the NFL returns.

From the summer to the end of November, NBAPA and the league and owners only fully exchanged opinions and demands, and the negotiation process was rattling.

Ultimately, Fleischer said the players' union would retain the possibility of a strike during the season if an agreement could not be reached before the end of the season.

This is a powerful deterrent to bosses.

If the players' union chooses to strike at the end of the season, it will deal a heavy blow to the teams, because that is the season with the highest income.

Communication between the two sides has therefore been interrupted since November.

Because they don't want to see each other's face again for a short time, they have to wait until the anger subsides before restarting the negotiation.

The Celtics had the second-best record in the league behind the 76ers.

Their strength is surprising, because as long as people with a certain degree of basketball common sense, they can see that they have no tacit understanding on the court, and they do not quite implement the tactics of the coaching staff. Three of the five starters are fighting each other, except for Bird and Dan. Nie Ainge and John Long, the others did not obey orders.

For a while, Fitch punished Isiah Thomas by taking him out of the starting lineup and playing the eighth man in order to make Isiah Thomas fear authority.

This is simply adding fuel to the fire.

Thomas, who played for Bob Knight in college, had seen the most murderous head coach in the basketball world, and Fitch's methods couldn't make him docile.

It's just that the Celtics' book lineup is too strong. Even if they play without rules, they still win more and lose less.

"Unless the University of Houston's Akim Olajuwon, North Carolina's Mike Jordan, Georgetown's Patrick Ewing are drafted, next year's draft should not have any freshmen worthy of attention."

Rudy Tomjanovich has not had a comfortable day since he came to work under Louie.

The Celtics require top scouts, including the chief scout, to submit at least 20 scouting reports a month.

Louie basically doesn't run around outside now, and all this tiring work is left to Tomjanovich.

In return, Louie will help him apply for more funding than others every time.

Hearing his conclusion, Louis smiled lightly: "So sure?"

"If Steve Stipanovich C can regain his high school dominance, he will be the only S-share in this draft." Tomjanovich casually uttered an unfamiliar name for Louis .

He saw a white center with long hair on the scouting report.

In high school, he was hailed as the best center in the nation along with two other centers.

If you're interested, the other two centers are Ralph Sampson and Sam Jordan's daddy Bowie.

"Never mind, we don't have such an advanced draft pick anyway."

Louie put aside the reports of hot rookies, and then found a familiar name among the piles of reports that Tomjanovich turned in.

Doug Rivers.

"How about Doc Rivers at Marquette University?" Louie knew that Rivers would later become an NBA coach, but he didn't know how he performed during his playing days.

Hearing Louie ask about Rivers, Tomjanovich beamed: "Very good player, with outstanding basketball IQ and overall situation, he must be the type you like."

"It's useless if I like it, but Dereed likes it." Louie didn't worry about Rivers. Although he was an acquaintance, the Celtics really didn't need to add any more guards.

What they need is a forward who can play with all his energy at the 3.

Especially the kind of athletic modern striker with strong athletic ability and excellent running ability.

"Rudy, is it too hard for you to travel frequently recently?" Tomjanovich was a little disturbed by Louis' expression of concern.

Louie, the kid, always thought everyone was as energetic as him.

"Yeah...running everywhere, I traveled more than half of America in a month." Forcing himself to say that he is not tired is the way to die.

"Do you know that there is a Chinese saying that poison is used to kill poison?" Louis said dehumanizingly. "Maybe if you are a little more tired, your body won't feel it."

In Tomjanovich's eyes, hope has been disillusioned: "What is the order?"

"Help me scout the Los Angeles Lakers, I want to know the integration of Dominic Wilkins, and don't use some data to prevaricate me, I want something that the data can't see." Louie pointed to a few things , "His interactions with other Lakers players, local newspapers in Los Angeles, their interviews after the game, as long as it is news related to them, you have to collect them."

The workload made Tomjanovich unsteady just thinking about it.

"Okay!" he said through gritted teeth.

"By the way," Louie pulled out a few check-like things from the drawer, "Last month Florida opened the center, it's a free ticket to play, and after this work, go and relax with your family. ."

Tomjanovich opened his eyes wide. The center is the second theme park opened by the Walt Disney Company after Disney World. It is not very complete at present. After all, it is a new park, but all children regard it as a park. It's hard to get one vote in two months for his own promised land.

"thanks."

Tomjanovich was not polite to Louis.

"You're welcome, this is just compensation within my power." Louis laughed.

On December 10, the Celtics slaughtered the 76ers at Spectrum Arena to complete their revenge.

Unlike before, Larry Bird's tactical status has improved.

This may have something to do with his support for Fitch in the resumption meeting, and he is one of the few Celtics players who still executes tactics.

Fitch elevates his tactical status, and the others follow in Bird's footsteps.

Thomas's possession continued to dwindle, and he was now called the starter, but his tactical status was inferior to that of Laimbeer.

As a result, Bird's data has risen, and the Celtics have won consecutive victories.

Louie's expected collapse didn't happen, and he still underestimated the team's paper strength.

Even if five of the seven best guys on the team are dissatisfied with Fitch (Ainge, Thomas, Sampson, Maxwell, Laimbeer), as long as Bird is willing to obey, he can mobilize others to take it seriously Contest.

For a hall-level superstar like Bird who is entering his prime, his ability to lead the team is beyond doubt.

Throughout December, Bird averaged 31 points, 12 rebounds, 6 assists, 2 steals and 2 blocks per game. If this data can be maintained, it is possible for him to be selected for the first defense.

Bird's valiant December saw the Celtics lose a few games they shouldn't have.

One is the Knicks upset.

The new king of New York, Bernard King, and Bird face to face.

Rookie Sleep Floyd became the Raiders.

There is also a Pistons who have a deep hatred with the Celtics. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com

According to the Detroit people, if it weren't for the Celtics, they would now have a lineup of Sampson + Thomas + James Worthy at the same time, and their talent and immediate combat power are not afraid of any team.

But that damned deal a few years ago killed Detroit's future.

It's a game with anger.

The Pistons bombed wildly and scored 132 points, indirectly exposing the Celtics' biggest shortcoming.

The Celtics may have the best offensive talent in history, but their defense is also mediocre. Sampson has been on the bench for a long time, Bird is used as a pure 3 position again, Lambir is in a mood, the height of the smiling assassin is a dead hole that he cannot help, and John Lang is quite satisfactory.

Their defense isn't that bad, but it's far from their peak offensive potential.
