After hanging up the phone, Lin Ying was stunned for a while.

Actually, it’s okay to give it a try, right? You may not become your ex-boyfriend, right?

But soon he shook his head again.

I guess those ex-boyfriends thought the same way at first!

No, you still have to find a way to divert your attention.

To put it bluntly, it's all because training is too lonely.

He called Durant and talked about something.

"Opening a training camp?"

Durant is also now doing private workouts in Oklahoma City.

Although he is not lonely at this time, he has already dated two girls this offseason!

So he was still very interested in Lin Ying's proposal.

Of course, this training camp is different from the past when they trained and played together. This is a training camp for children.

The reason why Lin Ying had such an idea was because he thought of Devin Booker, who had asked about this before.

There is a lockout, and personal training becomes boring, so it’s just the right time to do one.

They did what they said, and Durant flew to Phoenix the next day.

If Lin Ying hadn't said he wanted to practice in seclusion, he would have come to see him long ago.

The two discussed the details, determined the time and content of the training camp, and then decided which children to look for.

The purpose of this training camp is of course not to make money, so it is free.

Then it’s time to find someone.

The two of them took it together and started looking for people one after another.

The first thing Lin Ying thought of was of course Booker, and the second thing that came to mind was Zeng Fanbo who was holding the pirated sneakers for an autograph.

After thinking of Zeng Fanbo, he then thought of Ding Yanyuhang.

Speaking of which, he also had a favorite local star in his previous life.

This can be regarded as satisfying my own selfishness.

Training camp is scheduled for a week later.

On the first day, Durant also brought in some young players one after another.

Several of them will also enter the NBA in the future.

For example, Caris LeVert, historically the 20th overall pick in the first round of 2016, has since grown into a quasi-All-Star player.

Another example is James Young, the 17th overall pick in 2014, but he disappeared after spending a few years in the NBA.

These people should all be considered Durant's disciples.

Oh, by the way, then the ones he found should be considered his disciples.

On the first day of the training camp, Durant also gave the training camp a very middle-class name: Texas Twin Galaxy.

After checking the eyes, it feels like "class has started"!

Then Teacher Lin and Teacher Durant gave them lessons one after another.

Durant teaches techniques, while Lin Ying teaches basics.

This distribution was requested by Lin Ying.

Because he came to the conclusion after his own time travel that a player's career is like building a house. Only by laying a good foundation/foundation can he ensure that he will not collapse/get injured at the most basic level, and only then can he talk about progress in other aspects.

In order to achieve this, Lin Ying even asked Grover to work part-time.

After all, his trainer is the professional in this area.

In this regard, it is expected that the people who will benefit the most will be Zeng Fanbo and Ding Yanyuhang.

The yellow race is inherently disadvantaged in terms of endurance. If you can improve your resistance through scientific training since childhood, you don't have to increase your strength all at once, and your career will be much smoother.

…

While Lin Ying and Durant were having a heated training camp, the labor and management sides were already having a new round of negotiations.

Naturally, the results of the negotiations failed to reach an agreement, but the differences between the two parties have been reduced, and the framework of the new labor agreement has been released.

There are two things you need to know about this negotiation.

First, labor and management seem to be two parties, but in fact there are at least four parties involved, not counting the agents.

On the labor side, star players and ordinary players have completely different demands.

Star players want to gain more benefits for themselves, while ordinary players just want to end the lockout quickly so they can support their families.

On the employer side, bosses in big cities are different from bosses in small cities.

In addition to making more money, bosses in big cities also want to make more money by winning championships;

The bosses in small cities hope to designate some hard salary caps to balance the strength of each team. Otherwise, fans in small cities will not see the light of day. As the ball market becomes smaller and smaller, they will lose more and more.

So this issue is actually very complex.

This is the first point.

Then the second point is that Xiao Hua has been forced to resign before. The person who negotiates with the league and management is not Xiao Hua, but Mark Tatum.

Tatum's character was revealed when he came into contact with Lin Ying. He has a Chinese character.

Therefore, when negotiating, his attitude and thinking mode are different from Xiao Hua's American mentality of putting interests first.

Based on these two points, the current trend of negotiations is much smoother than in history.

Of course, the acute issues cannot be solved by Tatum alone. The other terms can actually be negotiated, but the point about the distribution of benefits has always been there.

Stern continued to receive information from Tatum, and then felt like a middleman caught between labor and management, and was overwhelmed.

The summer league has been cancelled, and free agency has been postponed. If this pace continues, there will probably be no preseason games.

If the season is suspended, I don’t know how long it will take for the NBA to recover.

Because you have to know that there is more than one kind of sports in the world. In North America, there are basically four major sports leagues.

If there is no game for a long time, fans will be lost, and many of them will be irreversible.

So all Stern can do now is keep putting pressure on both labor and management, and then urge them.

Fortunately, Tatum still has a Chinese-leaning way of thinking, and his mediating role is very important in this kind of negotiation.

To put it bluntly, this negotiation was originally about mediation and negotiation. As long as he could barely accept it and sign a new contract, he would be done.

What is not dignified is worthless in the face of interests.

…

In the blink of an eye, it’s October, and summer has turned into autumn.

This day is October 15th. After training, Lin Ying put on his clothes and soaked his feet in an ice bucket for a while.

He also chatted with Swift on his cell phone.

Swift has already finished her concert in Canada and returned to the United States.

While they were chatting, a pop-up message from social media suddenly shocked him.

Take a closer look.

A new collective bargaining agreement has been reached!

Lin Ying couldn't believe it, and went to see it after talking to Swift about something.

Looking at it now, it’s still real!

The shutdown of this year in history was not achieved until the end of November!

If achieved at this time, it means that the regular season will not be shortened!

Although he doesn't know why, it may be related to Xiao Hua's resignation, but the result is very naughty!

And not long after Lin Ying read social media, he also received an email from the players union, which contained the terms of the new labor agreement.

Among them, the distribution of the most sensitive interests dropped from 57% to 52%, and the final result was slightly higher than in history.

Then, there are a lot of clauses.

Most of the terms are the same as the historical framework agreement.

For example, the Bird clause period and value-added have changed from the original 6 years and 10.5% to the current 5 years and 7.5%.

These actually indicate the purpose of this labor negotiation to reduce expenditures.

Two of them are different from those in history, and may cause huge changes in the league next season.

The first is the Ross-Lin Ying clause. The reason why Lin Ying was added is because the change in this clause is also related to Lin Ying.
Chapter completed!
