Chapter 677: Chapter 255 What on Earth Is LeBron Doing?_3

Corrupting the League’s atmosphere was not allowed by David Stern.

Of course, before LeBron, there had already been players forming groups.

Like Boston, like the Lakers.

Since others had done it, LeBron had to be allowed to do it too.

David Stern had no intention of forbidding it, it’s just...

You can do it!

But you can’t be so ostentatious about it, as if what you’re doing is something that should be emulated.

Now that LeBron had done it, he became that attention-seeking monkey.

To prevent others from going even further in the future, David Stern of course had to "kill the chicken to warn the monkey"!

Meanwhile, in another office, Xiao Hua was watching the game, and seeing the referee call a foul on LeBron right from the start, Xiao Hua knew then and there that it was something David Stern had done on purpose.

But in Xiao Hua’s heart, there really was no need for David Stern to do this.

Keep in mind that LeBron’s decision brought massive exposure to the League.

Even though it was all about calling LeBron "disloyal and treacherous."

But...

Isn’t notoriety still fame?

Traffic is a good thing!

Xiao Hua believed that what would follow was an "era of high traffic," where traffic could rapidly be monetized into income, and it’s earning money into the owners’ pockets that would attract more big players to join the fray; their entry was how the NBA could develop better.

Therefore, this was a good thing; he couldn’t wait for people to announce their "Decision" on TV every day.

Anyway, once he took charge in the future, he would give LeBron some special treatment; after all, such a controversial player could definitely bring an endless stream of topics. It would be such a waste to let him sink into the mire.

So, he couldn’t help but mutter to himself in his heart:

Hang in there, LeBron, when I become the commissioner of the League, I’ll definitely pull you back up.

Mainly...

Su Wan had ruled the League for too long, and now he had even gone to New York. Given Dolan’s financial power, even if the New York Knicks still seemed immature, it would only take two to three years at most to become a strong team, and they might even establish a Dynasty again.

If he manages to create a "New York Dynasty," then the next ten years would once again belong to Su Wan.

The NBA did not allow such an incredible Huaxia player to exist.

Absolutely not because they had a grudge from the start, no way~

There must be someone to counter him!

LeBron was currently the person who best suited Xiao Hua’s intentions.

Although David Stern would not step down until 2014, the negotiation of the NBA’s collective bargaining agreement, which expires this year, had already been delegated to Xiao Hua by David Stern.

As long as the lockout could provide a satisfactory "answer"...

Once the NBA started using the new collective bargaining agreement, in practice, he would be the new commissioner of the NBA.

So...

Just wait a little longer, Chosen One, your "God" will soon come to save you.

At this moment, Su Wan was also at Ivanka’s house, watching the live broadcast of the game. Seeing LeBron immediately commit a "traveling" error, he was instantly stunned.

Alright!

He should have thought of it earlier.

Originally in 2009, to promote LeBron and set up the "23VS24" showdown, the League had changed the "traveling" rule.

All media personnel were clear; it was to forcibly hype up LeBron.

But this event did not occur in this timeline.

Because the main theme of the NBA for the past two years was not "23VS24," but the "Longest River of the 2000s VS the Highest Mountain"...

Not only was this gimmick successful, but it also brought the NBA’s domestic ratings beyond the "98 Legend," and there’s no need to mention its overseas ratings and influence.

It’s actually evident from the salary cap space of each team for this season:

This season, the NBA’s team salary cap space was 63 million, whereas originally this figure was only 58 million.

The formula for calculating the NBA’s salary cap is 48% of last season’s total revenue divided by the 30 teams.

From this formula, it can be calculated that last season’s total NBA revenue was roughly 3.94 billion, while originally this figure was around 3.6 billion. That’s to say, this year the NBA earned an extra 3 billion.

So you tell me, does David Stern really need to hard-sell LeBron?

That’s also the reason, when he wanted to target LeBron, it was extremely simple, just focus on his footwork.

From the age of 18 to 39, that guy’s footwork for Breakthrough had never been clearly defined; especially as he got older and couldn’t dash forward as much, those small choppy steps after being forcefully stopped made it painful to watch.

Cleveland media excitedly published an article:

"LeBron used his signature travel to finish his first offense in Miami; let’s congratulate LeBron!"

Don’t ask them why they were in such a rush; the answer is...

Afraid there would be no other opportunity!

It’s just that their understanding of LeBron was not thorough enough.

If they really understood LeBron...

Forget it, if they really understood LeBron, how could they have welcomed him back with open arms later?

In their hearts, LeBron was a historically "Super Star."

So they had to mock him quickly.

But soon, they realized...

Perhaps there was no need to be so anxious.

Because...

The coordination on the court between the players of the "Peak Three Giants" from Heat was really too stiff.

Not to mention their hesitation when Passing to each other, they’d even look at the other two to see if there was a better position and opportunity to shoot, and if there was, they’d immediately pass the ball.

This was especially true for Wade and LeBron.

Chris Bosh saw Marvin Williams in front of him, who he could step over easily, and felt numb all over.
