Chapter 800 Everything is Arranged
I won the gold medal and my dream came true.
The official gave such a free and open ending.
Covering the sky with one hand, Zhao Ke, who single-handedly brought the Huaxia men's basketball team to the top of the world, quickly became a popular fried chicken sought after by the major media, and even the crooked Xiao Cui made a phone call in person——
Arranged for Zhao Ke...
Zhao Ke quickly declined, like running away, avoiding countless media interviews, and took the nearest flight to New York!
This is not to escape, but to face!
Before being chased back by Li Nan, Zhao Ke thought this way:
Immediately go back to Mi Li's house, log out of the blog, log out of the post bar, and delete all traces left in Huaxia!
From now on, the main road will go to the sky on each side, and the old and the dead will not communicate with each other!
Huaxia basketball, love it!
Since then, however, he owes a lot:
Eleven Spartans.
There are [-] fans in Wukesong Stadium.
There are tens of thousands of "two hundred heroes" on the Internet.
The 13 billion Chinese children looking up under the flying national flag!
At the moment when the national anthem was played, Zhao Ke clearly felt that his heart carried more and bigger dreams...
So, Zhao Ke made an appointment with Qiao Rannuo and Diana Day——
Big things to do, see you in New York!
This is a big deal, and it requires Diana Day's long-sleeved skills, Qiao Rannuo's financial support, and the approval of the heads of the NBA, NBDL, and WNBA...
That's right, Zhao Ke is going to form Memphis' NBDL and WNBA teams!
NBDL is the abbreviation of NBA Development League (NBA Development League), which belongs to the NBA's secondary league and is the NBA's talent pool.
Any team in the NBA can select players from the Development League to enter the NBA, and they can also send their own players to the Development League for exercise.Generally speaking, NBDL has the same tactics and even defensive strategies as the NBA team it belongs to.Because NBDL is to reserve the required talents for each parent team.
The NBDL league started in the fall of 2001, when there were 8 teams.
Until the summer of 2005, it was known as the National Basketball Development League (NBDL); it has since been renamed the National Basketball Association Development League (NBA Development League, D-League).
In the summer of 2005, some teams were purchased by private owners, with the intention of attracting more teams and fans.
In the 2007-08 season, the D-League team expanded to 14 teams, the affiliation relationship between NBA teams and D-League teams was reorganized, and the San Antonio Spurs became the second NBA team with a D-League team after the Los Angeles Lakers.
Although the players in the development league belong to each team in name, they only sign with the league.
They are divided into A, B, and C according to their strength and playing age. They can only get annual salaries of 2.5, 1.9, and 1.3 U.S. dollars respectively. The daily allowance they can receive when they go out to play away games is only 40 U.S. dollars, which is less than one-third of NBA players (although NBA players don’t care that it’s not enough money for teeth).
The salary cap of each team in the Development League is 17.3, while the salary cap of NBA teams this season is close to 7000 million, a difference of more than 400 times.
The NBA Development League is unknown, uninterested, and stretched so far, but it can have the confidence to expand its army all the way. In the final analysis, there is only one reason:
The NBA has been making money, and the Development League has basically not lost much money.
Although most of the games are held in small cities and the attendance rate has not been very satisfactory, the NBA Development League has also maintained a low-cost, low-investment light operation model, and never shows too large a figure in the loss column of the NBA's financial statements.
In order to further reduce financial pressure, the NBA has also been giving the green light to the commercialization of the Development League.
Moreover, the Development League has become the second source of players for NBA teams besides the draft.
The Development League is the NBA's most important source of talent, not limited to players.
Over the years, the Development League has exported 2 head coaches (Dave Joerger of the Grizzlies, Quinn Snyder of the Jazz), 33 assistant coaches, and 3 general managers (Hawks, Hornets, Pelicans) to the NBA.
In addition, since 2002, all newly appointed NBA referees must be selected from the Development League.
The existence of NBDL is so important, but the impact is so far-reaching, but just because running an NBDL team loses money (although the loss is not much), in a country like Mi Lijia, where the knife is paramount, its expansion speed is far from keeping up with the development needs of the NBA...
In another timeline, it was not until David Silva, who was killed by Zhao Ke, came to power, that he promoted the expansion of NBDL with a strong hand, coupled with a shameless marketing strategy, that made the Development League grow to 28 teams in just a few years...
Therefore, for the championship owner of the Memphis Grizzlies who is interested in forming a new NBDL team, NBA Commissioner Russ Granik himself agrees with both hands and feet.
Another league, the WNBA, actually has such a dilemma.
The Women's National Basketball Association, or WNBA for short, is a professional women's basketball league sponsored by the NBA and was established in 1996.
The WNBA held its first session in 1997, with the regular season between May and August and the playoffs in September.
Most WNBA teams in the National Women's Basketball League have an NBA team in the same city and share the same arena with NBA teams in the same city. Only the Connecticut Sunshine is not in the same city as any NBA team.
As of 2008, the Chicago Sky and Houston Comets are the only two WNBA teams that do not share a stadium with any NBA team.
In addition, the Atlanta Dream, Chicago Sky, Connecticut Sunshine, Houston Comets, Los Angeles Sparks, Phoenix Mercury, Seattle Storm and Washington Mystics are independently operated.
The WNBA rules are based on the NBA's standard basketball rules, but there are also a few rules that are different, such as:
The WNBA's three-point line is 20 feet 6.25 inches (6.25 meters) long, which is the same as the International Basketball Federation (International Basketball Federation).
The basketball used by the WNBA has a circumference of at least 28.5 inches (72.4cm), which is 1 inch (2.54cm) less than the ball used by the NBA. Since 2004, basketballs of this size have been widely used in women's basketball games around the world.
The time of each section of the WNBA is 10 minutes, which is different from the 12 minutes of the NBA and is in line with international standards.
Since 2004, the WNBA has divided each game into four quarters of 4 minutes each, instead of the previous two quarters of 10 minutes each.
At the beginning of the WNBA, there were 8 teams: Houston Comets, Los Angeles Sparks, Phoenix Mercury, New York Free, Cleveland Rockers, Charlotte Sting, Sacramento Monarchs and Utah Superstars (Utah Starzz).
There are 12 existing teams, 6 in each of the Eastern and Western Conferences.
Originally, if Memphis formed a new team, there would be an extra team in the Western Conference.
This will cause certain troubles for the WNBA's next season's competition arrangement.
However, at this juncture, Alexander, the owner of the Mosaic team, sent Zhao Ke a divine assist...
Come on in Wuhan! Go China!
