On the surface, the contract amount between chris paul and Deron Williams is exactly the same, but after careful tasting, they are slightly different. The queen bee has a 15% "trading barrier", which is equivalent to limiting the trading behavior of the team. Once the team trades Paul within the contract period, Paul will receive compensation of 65438+ 05% of the remaining contract amount. We've all heard of Kobe's "trading veto". In fact, Paul's "transaction obstruction clause" is also an indirect "veto" in the transaction, and this "overlord clause" has become the unspoken rule for the team to win players.

Choose a captain?

The captain chosen by NBA teams is often puzzling. They may not be the best players, nor are they the highest paid or the oldest. Few overseas players become captains of NBA teams. When choosing a captain, the team management often needs to consider personality, age, status, prestige and even controllability. Take the Rockets of that year as an example. It may be acceptable for Shane Battier to be elected as the captain, but Chuck Hayes will feel a little better when he is elected.

Big cities tilt?

Stern's biggest dream every year is to expect Los Angeles in the west and New York in the east to meet in the finals, so that the ratings of the national finals will surpass the "Super Bowl" in one fell swoop and become a well-deserved leader in the United States and even the world. So it's not hard to understand why almost all teams are complaining about the league's preferential treatment for the Lakers, and the mired Knicks can't consider it now. If the Lakers stay away from the playoffs, then the NBA is really out of sight.

Rookie whistle?

In the NBA, the rookie is undoubtedly a "nuisance" in the eyes of the referee. Their sharp edges and corners make the referee extremely disgusted. Irregular dribbling, rough hand movements, inexplicable cover, and even innocent eyes after being blown off, all make the referee often want to "blow fast". Even greg oden, the No.1 scholar, struggles with playing time in every game, and has long been familiar with the title of "Argentine champion" in the international arena.

Ratings first?

The NBA is a sports league and an entertainment league. The audience is the parents of the league. Therefore, no matter from which angle you think, you can understand the importance of ratings to the alliance. Therefore, it is not difficult to understand Stern's dislike of the Spurs, which is rigid, conservative, rigid, defensive, starless, marketless and headless. The freezing ratings of the 2005 finals made the league unbearable, and they began to try their best to limit the Spurs.

Enter prematurely

On February 1, the Rockets played against the Suns in overtime. Brooks deliberately missed the second penalty at the crucial moment in an attempt to turn the situation around in one fell swoop, but the referee violated the "rules" and ruined all this. In fact, it is the same as pushing someone into the penalty area after a corner kick in a football match. It is something that must be blown, but it must be controversial. The referee's "ignorance" at the crucial moment of the game inevitably caused complaints from Xiao Bu and Rick Adelman.

Flatter sponsors?

In 2009, Kobe Bryant and shaquille o'neal won the MVP trophy together in the All-Star Game. This incident has made countless fans who witnessed the disintegration of the OK group and heard the two drooling on the sidelines. In a flash, two brothers who were once brothers but were cut off by various accidents came together again. What could be more touching than this? But don't forget who is the general sponsor of the NBA. His slogan is "No brothers, no basketball". Dr Wade's brother basketball team in Huang Wu also won a lot of sponsorship money for them.

Double standards?

Former Rockets coach Van Gundy accused the NBA of double punishment for Yao Ming in 2004, but the incident was dropped. But recently, Donazi said in an interview after he was released from prison that this kind of thing did happen in the league. They want the referee to pay more attention to Yao Ming and his cover violations. Besides, the league really likes to see Kobe win.

Privileged players don't "move"

The league has been working hard to establish a benign environment of mutual benefit and cost control among NBA teams, which is rewarding for choosing to stay as a superstar. And once you leave, you will be punished by some rules. In the past ten offseason trading periods, only three privileged players have changed teams: Hill, McGrady and Nash. At the same time, there are Kobe Bryant, Duncan, Nowitzki, Pierce, Lightning Miller, Stoudemire and so on. None of them chose to leave the team at that time.

Legalize walking?

"Walking" is the unspoken rule of NBA, and the rules always allow players to take a step after receiving the ball. You can easily find, like "Magic" Johnson and Bob? Cousy, Dr. J, etc. Will get rid of the opponent's defense by "taking two steps." The most controversial move in the league today is undoubtedly James' four-step layup. There have been protests to the league, and the number of star players sent away is obviously less than that of other players. Now, in order to protect James' interests, the league has not hesitated to legalize and make public the hidden rules, and made bold adjustments to the rules-allowing NBA players to take two steps with the ball before stopping, passing or shooting.

Visiting the dressing room?

Most NBA players are rich, and every team is extremely luxurious in food, clothing, housing and transportation, but there is one place where no one wants to spend money to improve-the visiting team locker room. The two worst visiting locker rooms in the league are Kings and Bucks. The changing room arranged by Bradley Center Arena for the visiting team is too small. If a team's 15 players enter the locker room together, they will be so crowded that there is no chance to turn around. In the dressing room provided by the king for the visiting team, there are not only comfortable seats, but also lockers. Only one row of hooks is hung on the wall for the visiting team members to hang their clothes.

Whistle for home?

It is an indisputable fact that the whistle at home in NBA has existed for a long time, and the cheers of tens of thousands of fans are bound to have an impact on referees. More importantly, fans who buy tickets to watch the game are the "god of wealth" that NBA needs to keep most, and pleasing them is very important for the development of the league. If the regular season is not obvious, the factor of home whistle will be obvious in the playoffs. The same two teams, the same tactics, the number of free throws and fouls at home and away.

Star whistle?

The star whistle, like the home whistle, is a well-known secret of the NBA. In recent years, domestic fans are most familiar with McGrady at the peak. At that time, McGrady was treated by the league. At the critical moment, McGrady's fake action near the three-point line can often shake the opponent, and any shot of the king can be exchanged for the referee's whistle. McGrady's preferential treatment helped him save the team in many games, but times have changed, and it is estimated that it is difficult for the all-star who has passed away to get such preferential treatment again.

Order of appearance

The appearance of NBA players is imitated by many similar entertainment projects. One player after another rushed to the stadium with the boasting of the commentator and the applause of the fans, which set off the atmosphere of the game a little bit. However, under this seemingly ordinary appearance, the order of appearance is also certain. The last player must be the trump card of the team, the big shot and the hope of the future. They are the symbol of the team and even the city, and also the biggest guarantee for fans to buy tickets to come here.

Dressing room owner

Although the NBA locker room is different from the underworld, it also has its own rules. Who is the most vocal player in the locker room often determines the future and direction of the team. In 2006, Brand Roy won the championship successfully, edging out Zach Randolph, and the pioneers got rid of the notoriety of "prison" from now on. If you are a single player, you will be offended by your boss, which may reduce your playing time and may also be punished.

Hate whistling?

In the eyes of ordinary people, NBA referees are a model that can get rid of the joys and sorrows of the world, be impartial and enforce the law fairly, but in fact, NBA referees also have their own likes and dislikes. After Donazi was released from prison, he revealed in his book that Iverson's experience is the best embodiment of judging personal likes and dislikes. Senior referee steve harvey doesn't like him, so he rarely makes favorable decisions. On the contrary, the grandson of another referee, joe crawford, regarded Iverson as an idol. As long as Crawford plays Iverson's game, Iverson's team will win.

Boss first?

In the 1990s, bulls were omnipotent. Jordan and his team are regarded as gods by Chicago and even the whole league. They made a lot of money for Jerry Leinsdorf, the owner of the bull. However, with the aging of the bull core, they are giving orders to the management more and more, which makes their behavior more and more unbearable. Especially after the contradictions between the two sides were reported in the newspapers, the media turned to Jordan and criticized the separation attitude of management, which finally made Niu Boss unbearable. 18967.8886868866 17

Rookie treatment?

Like many schools and units, NBA has many unwritten rules for new players, such as carrying shoes, bags and shopping for old players. ...........................................................................................................................................

Manipulate the game?

Donazi's new book reveals many previously unknown secrets, even the venerable Bavita has not been spared. In the sixth game of the Western Conference Finals in 2002, the Kings led 3-2. Bavita said without hesitation that the NBA needed the seventh game: "If our whistle is biased towards the team with a big score behind, no one will complain. This series will be 3-3, and then the better team will win the life and death battle. " It is said that at the pre-game preparation meeting in Game 6, the league executives instructed that some fouls should not be blown-this scale of blowing penalty is beneficial to the Lakers. As a result, the Lakers were sent to the free throw line again and again by the referee, and the king was reversed and lost the sixth game. This series has also been criticized for a long time and has become a stain on the NBA.

Technical statistics of assists?

The definition of "assist" in the data statistics manual of NBA is: when the ball is in the live broadcast stage, it helps the local player who touches the ball to complete the direct scoring behavior through the passing of the ball-holding player. It sounds simple, but if it is put into the whole competition, this definition is very vague. So this means that it is impossible to accurately count the number of assists with a computer software or auxiliary machine. The number of assists of each player in a game depends entirely on who is counting. Generally speaking, the statistician of the home team is responsible for counting the data of all the players of the two teams, so the statistics of the home team are better than those of the away team, which is already the "hidden rule" of the league.

Players are bigger than coaches?

From the outside, the coach is the head of the NBA team. They arrange tactics on the court and decide the time of the game and when the players play. ...........................................................................................................................................

Coach, skin color decides fate?

At present, the situation of black coaches in NBA has been greatly improved compared with the past, but there is a big gap between black coaches and white coaches in real life environment. According to a statistic, the average tenure of black coaches in NBA is only 1.6 seasons, while the tenure of white coaches is 2.4 seasons. The latter's term of office is 50% higher than the former, and he has longer time and more opportunities to show and prove his ability. It has been more than 40 years since the legendary superstar bill russell took over from Cardinal auerbach. Russell can be said to be the pioneer of black coaches, but he also left a "Bill Russell misunderstanding", which more or less influenced Boss Bai's view of black coaches. At that time, many people criticized Russell, who was aloof and lazy, as "lazy" and "indifferent". Russell retorted that "many remarks were purely racist". This argument left a bad impression on the white boss, and Russell's image was regarded as the representative of black coaches and managers.

Money champion?

In 2009, the league 12 teams exceeded the luxury tax trigger line in the new season, and now the total salary of the two-time champion Lakers ranks first in the league. Look at the total salary of the teams that have the strength to compete for the championship in the last two years. Lakers first, followed by Celtic, Heat and Mavericks. Even the stingy Spurs expanded their troops in the summer, and their total salary reached the sixth in the league. Coach Popovich hit the nail on the head-you have to spend a lot of money to win the championship.

Garbage time?

There are 30 teams in the NBA, and there are always places to deal with each other. Many things, such as draft and trade, need to "help each other", so it is not common to kill everything on the court. Boss, coach and players are all fooling around in the same circle, which is not good for anyone. So we often see a team leading by a big margin in the last quarter.

The mysterious uncle Weiss?

In 2005, the "Little Emperor" announced that he had terminated his contract with his former agent, the Goodwin brothers. Behind this, in fact, few people know that it is a mysterious figure at work. You can call him "invisible boss" or "mysterious man", but NBA players will call him "omnipotent Wes" and Little Emperor James will call him "Uncle Wes". No one knows who Wesley is, except for some scenes where he appeared in public places: freely entering and leaving the players' locker room, sitting in the nearest position to the stadium, taking the team plane at will, and pushing a cup with the players after the game. Wesley is probably the most well-connected person in the league. His social circle ranges from NBA executives to NBA players, but he doesn't belong to any organization. He can choose silence in front of the media, and he can help hundreds of players like chicken soup. There is no doubt that this mysterious figure holds the strongest "soft power" in this alliance.

Does Grandpa Jordan have the privilege of contacting the rookie?

Michael Jordan, who used to be a player, was a storm on the court. Now, as the owner of the Bobcats, he still enjoys the care of the hidden rules of the NBA, the most prominent of which is that Jordan has the exclusive privilege of being infinitely close to the top basketball rookie in the United States by hosting the All-Star Game for senior high school students and flying basketball camp. The NBA will punish those bosses who violate the rules and have contact with rookie players. But Jordan is rarely punished by the league in this respect. In this regard, Tim Frank, vice president of the league, said: "As part of the conditions for joining Bobcats, Michael agreed to set certain restrictions on basketball camps and all-star games for high school students to meet the league norms." But what are the specific restrictions? Frank was evasive. As for why Jordan and his staff can still get exclusive information about rookie players, Frank simply refused to answer.

Muthombo, shake your fingers?

Undoubtedly, the rigorous NBA does not support players to insult and provoke their opponents in person, but dikembe mutombo's finger shaking is an exception. For this "little pine tree" in the league, the living fossil of the NBA, the league has given the greatest respect, and the official explanation has come out later. Uncle Mu's shaking refers to facing the opposing players "extensively", but he didn't ridicule anyone. But shaking hands is only Mutombo's patent. Whoever wants to imitate can only get a technical foul.

Mascot pick up girls?

In the NBA, there are rules for players to contact cheerleaders and journalists, and anyone who violates these rules may be punished by the league. However, under the rule of "rabbits don't eat grass beside their nests", the mascots of each team enjoy the care of hidden rules, and they can flirt with anyone in the arena as long as it doesn't affect the normal progress of the competition. Referees, security guards, journalists and spectators are all the objects of their ridicule, and of course beauty is their primary goal. During the suspension of the third quarter of the East-West Competition in the All-Star Game in New Orleans, the magic mascot had no sense of professional responsibility, stopped by the beauty Miranno for a long time, and turned around and began to "pick up girls" idly. Then the beauty gave him a hug, which filled the stadium with a cheerful atmosphere.

Brush data before trading

As a benchmark to measure the value of a player, although it is not absolutely scientific, it is as indispensable and irreplaceable as the "College Entrance Examination". Therefore, when a player doesn't perform well, but always wins playing time, it is likely that he will become the object to be sent away by the team in the future. The team just hopes that he will constantly improve his data and increase the weight in the transaction.

Don't fucking mess with Stern

Big-name players seem to be the hottest people in the league, and big contracts and advertising fees are in their pockets. However, behind them, Stern who wears glasses and always laughs like a weak old Confucian is the boss here. State-owned national law, alliance has alliance rules, and the truth of star and alliance is the same as Taizong's famous saying "water and boat" Alliances can make or break stars. If you want to survive and develop in the NBA, you must abide by the rules of the league and listen to Master Stern. "Age Order", "Dress Order", "Zero Tolerance" and "Bo Limit Order", Stern's ban made the big names tremble with fear. The dazzling rings of the stars are given by the league, and Stern can take them back and wear them on another player at any time.
