Mountain Peak System: a Path to NBA-Chapter 544 - 180: He is the real GOAT! (10,000-character update in a single day, begging for subscriptions and monthly tickets!)_3
This is the signature collected by Qin Yue from those NBA stars willing to follow him after arriving in Dallas.
In the conference room, when the representatives of the capital side saw the names of those stars, they were well aware that although there were still many players who had not signed this list...
But if those stars do not participate for the rest of the season, what is the point of the NBA?
Therefore, after the capital side requested a meeting break and held an urgent discussion, Jerry Buss, representing the capital side, said, "I am glad that we can reach a consensus, and we are grateful for your concessions."
Bobby Musk did not miscalculate.
After the NBA signed a new broadcasting agreement, as long as the players were willing to reduce the related share of basketball income to 54%, the league teams could be fully self-sufficient.
So to prevent Qin Yue from truly leading that group of superstars in a strike, no matter how anxious Sterling and Jordan were, old Buss and other owners could not just watch that scene unfold.
However, as soon as the talks resumed, Qin Yue threw out another proposal that broke Sterling’s defenses: "Since we have conceded, it’s now your turn to make concessions. On the basis of the existing agreement, the NBA must increase the welfare of middle and lower-level players."
In Qin Yue’s view, because players’ basketball-related income will decrease in the coming years, the league teams should naturally increase the contract guarantee ratio for middle and lower-level players and provide them with corresponding benefits to reduce their losses.
On this point, the opinions of the owner representatives from the big market teams and the small market teams were not the same.
In the eyes of old Buss and Lacob, since the extra has been spent, why bother with this small amount of money?
But in Sterling’s view...
Qin Yue was essentially cutting flesh from him who was already not wealthy!
"I disagree!" Sterling shouted angrily, "On this point, you can’t use a strike to threaten me!"
And initially, Fisher, who thought Qin Yue was just using this proposal as a bargaining chip, never expected that Qin Yue was serious!
This alliance flag-bearer, after Sterling expressed his stance, immediately led the other players to stand up, making a move to leave the venue.
Seeing this, the other representatives of the capital, worried that the results of this meeting would be wasted, could only grit their teeth to silence Sterling while agreeing to Qin Yue’s not-so-excessive demand.
At this time, Stern, who had been acting as a mediator throughout, also realized that Qin Yue was completely replicating Oscar Robertson from years ago.
He was sure that the league could not afford the severe impact of a star strike at the current time.
Just like in the Cod Wars, where Iceland always left Great Britain powerless.
As the weaker side, Qin Yue, who successfully united many superstars, not only accurately struck the weak point of the capital but also gradually turned it into his victory in this labor negotiation.
Moreover, compared to Robertson in 1964, Qin Yue had an advantage.
Because regardless of how unwilling Sterling among the owners was...
They must all admit that without Qin Yue, the NBA could not have signed that 6-year 9 billion US Dollar TV broadcasting contract.
"It seems we underestimated the determination of this league’s most outstanding player," during the meeting, old Buss commented on Qin Yue, "He doesn’t just want to speak for the players to gain fame, but wants to truly secure benefits for the players of this era like Oscar Robertson did back then."
In this labor negotiation, Qin Yue transformed into the warrior in the minds of all players.
He led a group of superstars to make the representatives of the capital retreat step by step and forced them to sign various "unequal treaties."
"From today, my idol is no longer Michael Jordan," Paul looked at Qin Yue with admiration, "As a pioneer, the resistance is always the greatest, but you can’t just say you’re the GOAT when you need others to treat you like the GOAT. I won’t say that the Messiah is the GOAT of our time, but what he’s doing for the welfare of all players is exactly the duty of the GOAT!"
Garnett fully agreed and said, "What nonsense Michael Jordan? Today his ugly face truly opened my eyes! From now on, the basketball world can only have one GOAT, and I vote for the Messiah!"
Aside, Kobe initially wanted to say a few fair words for his idol, but in this situation, even Kobe couldn’t find an excuse for Jordan, "The achievements of the Messiah in this labor negotiation are enough to make him immortal."
After this labor negotiation, the godlike status of capitalist Jordan is destined to be completely shattered in the minds of the players of the new era following media revelations.
Especially with Qin Yue, this Huang Da O, as a point of comparison.
In this meeting, Qin Yue, who argued sincerely for the players and didn’t hesitate to tear face with many capitalists, formed a striking contrast with that false god who merely seized six championship rings.
And the news of the players defeating the capital for the first time in labor negotiations since 1983 spread throughout the basketball world immediately.
Although the specific details of the new labor agreement still need to be discussed, with players having won a significant victory, Qin Yue almost instantly gained the respect of all players.
James, who did not participate in this labor negotiation, said in an interview: "He led us to win a great battle like Oscar Robertson did, you know, during this negotiation, I was with him all the way!"
Did James truly stand firmly with Qin Yue in this negotiation?
Qin Yue didn’t know.
But he knew that James did not sign his name on that list. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦
However, on this beautiful day that completely resolved the NBA’s lockout threat, who would care about these details?
On the 15th evening, the All-Star Weekend main game took place at the home stadium of the NFL’s Dallas Cowboys.
In this venue that can accommodate nearly 100,000 people, Qin Yue, who was already exhausted from the previous labor negotiation, intentionally played a supporting role in the game.
Nowitzki was selected as the AMVP with 36 points and 7 rebounds amidst the roaring cheers of the home fans.
In his acceptance speech, Nowitzki said: "I think every one of us owes a thank you to the Messiah, he is the MVP in my heart."
