"Lakers head coach Zhuang Fei chose to leave the NBA after leading the Lakers to a championship, and the date of his comeback is undecided"

"The NBA's No. 1 head coach will suffer huge losses when the NBA exits, and experts assert that the NBA will lose $1 billion every year."

"Because of his family, Coach Z retired from the NBA in a hurry! He is not a failed husband! ”

"Coach Z's fiancée has been pregnant for nearly 4 months, and Coach Z's first child is about to be born"

"Coach Z is going to have his own family, will this be the happiest family in the world?"

Zhuang Fei's resignation press conference on July 1 has been the focus of the world for some time recently, and the day after the press conference, almost all the front page headlines in the United States were news about Zhuang Fei's resignation.

For these media, basically most of them are Zhuang Fei's enemies, although these enemies will come to sycophant or flatter him because of Zhuang Fei's continuous victories, but Zhuang Fei knows that as long as there is any problem with him, these guys will definitely be the first to jump up and trample on him, so for these people, Zhuang Fei has no good impression of him, and in his opinion, these people will definitely take advantage of his sudden withdrawal to make a big fuss.

It's just that this time, to Zhuang Fei's surprise, these guys didn't make irresponsible remarks about Zhuang Fei in the newspaper as Zhuang Fei imagined, except for a highly professional media that analyzed the loss that Zhuang Fei's departure would have to the NBA, almost most of the media were blessing Zhuang Fei. Or to bless Zhuang Fei's family and unborn children. This made Zhuang Fei completely unaware of what was going on. Because Zhuang Fei can see from the newspapers of these media that these media who wish him are absolutely sincere, without a trace of hypocrisy or insincerity, but this kind of change makes Zhuang Fei really incomprehensible.

Of course, Zhuang Fei doesn't understand why the American media applauds, blesses and agrees with him for giving up his career for his family and children, because in Zhuang Fei's heart, in China, if a man gives up his career because he got married and his child was born. Then it will be spurned by most people.

In China, the real model should be praised for the fact that the parents are sick and the children are born to stick to their posts, even front-line posts, and people like Zhuang Fei are not taken out for criticism.

So in Zhuang Fei's subconscious, he thinks that a traditional Chinese who left his job because of his family is a wrong thing, a thing that must be criticized, and in the United States, the values here are indeed different from China. Even the president of the United States would not portray himself as a person who has passed through the door three times without entering the house, because Americans hate such people the most.

Just like before. What the American media hates the most is people like Zhuang Fei, who have no private life for basketball, don't get married in their thirties, and don't announce their girlfriends, so they ridicule Zhuang Fei as a ball idiot.

Although the same Zhuang Fei's team has strong combat effectiveness, but every time there is an important game, Zhuang Fei always makes the players abstinent or forbids them to speak in the media, which seems to be nothing wrong in China, after all, it is not a big deal to train in captivity for a few months in the Chinese sports circle, but in the eyes of these American media, Zhuang Fei is harming human rights and the right to freedom of the press.

Similarly, Zhuang Fei is in the media and in the team, or in the description of many players or some of Zhuang Fei's own behaviors, this guy is completely a dictator, and it is no wonder that such Zhuang Fei can be liked by the American media, even some media that are extremely friendly to Zhuang Fei, such as Today America, have sometimes criticized some of Zhuang Fei's behaviors.

It can be said that although Zhuang Fei is extremely successful in the United States, this is a person whose values are completely different from the mainstream American society, so most American media do not agree with Zhuang Fei, and this time after Zhuang Fei gave up his career for the sake of his family, the relationship between Zhuang Fei and these media seems to be a bit ice-breaking, because this time Zhuang Fei's approach is very in line with the mainstream values of the United States, so this time Zhuang Fei and them are no longer different from each other.

Of course, unlike the mainstream media in the United States blessing Zhuang Fei, some of the NBA's voices surprised Zhuang Fei even more, such as NBA league president David Stern, the powerful league president also held a press conference after Zhuang Fei's press conference, not for anything else, but to denounce Zhuang Fei, and the tone was extremely sad and angry.

"Coach Z's approach is very naïve, it is understandable that he thinks about his family, but he shouldn't give up everything he has in the NBA so hastily, he is one of the most influential people in the NBA, he represents the whole league too much, he never communicated with us before he left, we never thought he would leave before that, which caught us off guard, of course, we believe that he will come back, but he hurt a lot of people in the league who trust him and rely on him"

"Yes, the departure of Coach Z will cause a huge loss to this league, I have never denied that, we are afraid of losing him, and I have never denied this, but I want him to understand that he is not just representing him alone, he has the interests of a large number of people behind him, so his behavior is selfish and naïve"

Zhuang Fei hurt this godfather, that's for sure, David Stern is very arrogant to Zhuang Fei, this is also for sure, after all, Zhuang Fei is the most privileged person in the NBA, not long ago David Stern thought that Zhuang Fei's affairs were too controversial to make the Celtics' restructuring successful, but now, Zhuang Fei kicked him away, this thing Zhuang Fei did too inauthenticly, at least he was too sorry for him.

Many economic experts are now assessing what kind of impact Zhuang Fei's departure will have on the league, and the annual loss of one billion is only a conservative estimate, because before Zhuang Fei did not enter the NBA, the league's Finals had the highest ratings of 19%, and this year's Finals had the highest ratings of 33%. The average rating is 29.5%. The advertising cost of the four finals alone is as high as 175 million yuan per game. It is second only to the Super Bowl's 250 million yuan, but the Super Bowl is basically about 40% of the annual ratings, and it is understandable that the advertising cost is higher.

But after Zhuang Fei left, who knows what the ratings of this year's finals will be? In the past three years, the NBA Finals have all had Zhuang Fei, so the ratings have been steadily rising, from the initial average rating of less than 25% to more than 25%, and the highest rating last year exceeded 30%, and this year it was because of the matchup between New York and Los Angeles, plus the Lakers' crazy style of play. The ratings are already close to 30%, which is close to 30% of the average ratings, not the highest ratings.

So David Stern has been thinking that if he is given a year, not more, as long as a year, he can achieve a historic breakthrough of 30% in the average ratings of the NBA Finals, and then it is no longer a dream for the NBA to surpass the NFL to become the No. 1 professional league in the United States, after all, there is only one NFL Finals, and there are a total of four NBA Finals. In fact, if not ratings, the NBA has actually caught up with the NFL in terms of commercial value this year.

After all, there are now thirty teams in the NBA. No team has been valued below $500 million, and not long ago Forbes magazine published the NBA team commercial value list. The Los Angeles Lakers ranked first with $1.45 billion, and the New York Knicks ranked second with $1.05 billion.

In such a situation, David Stern can endure it, he and the NBA are now used to such a rich life, all teams are making money, they don't want to go back to seven or eight years ago, when a team was worth up to four or five billion dollars, and it only took one or two hundred million to buy a team in the NBA, at that time, the NBA's salary cap was less than 30 million, and now it is about to exceed 75 million dollars next season and approach 80 million.

Maybe David Stern estimated Zhuang Fei's departure a little too seriously, but there is no doubt that Zhuang Fei's departure was much greater than the loss caused by Jordan's departure back then, after all, when Jordan left, although the NBA had developed very well at that time, the foundation was still small, and the base was not so large.

Of course, there is no way for David Stern's grievances Zhuang Fei, without notifying the president of the alliance in advance, it is also impossible to directly beat him with a stick, Zhuang Fei knows the president of the alliance, he will not allow Zhuang Fei to leave, as long as Zhuang Fei dares to tell David Stern about this in advance, the president of the alliance will definitely come up with a lot of reasons to persuade Zhuang Fei, if Zhuang Fei does not agree, it is estimated that he will tear his face, this is definitely not something Zhuang Fei wants to see, He didn't want to tear his face with David Stern, and in this case, he could only cut it first and then play.

From now on, the president of the alliance shouted in the media to denounce Zhuang Fei, and it was just a reprimand, in Zhuang Fei's view, this is just a vent of his dissatisfaction with Zhuang Fei, after venting, it would be good if the anger was gone, although the relationship between the two may be tense, but the big relationship has not changed, Zhuang Fei and he have not torn their faces, and this is enough.

Of course, there are still some things that need to be done, for example, after David Stern shouted in the media and bitterly reprimanded Zhuang Fei, Zhuang Fei called the president of the alliance that night, and the president of the alliance also scolded Zhuang Fei on the phone, and it seemed that the anger had not disappeared at all, which also made Zhuang Fei feel a little funny.

Zhuang Fei now thinks that David Stern is a little interesting, just like many media in Zhuang Fei abandoning his career for the sake of his family, he feels that he understands a real Zhuang Fei, and this time because of his departure from the NBA, Zhuang Fei can also be regarded as knowing a real David Stern, which is the president of the league Although he used to be strong, he always laughed and hidden, when he shot at a person, he would never carry such an emotion, and now David Stern is a little out of control. This also made Zhuang Fei see that the president of the alliance was actually an ordinary person with joys and sorrows, which made Zhuang Fei and him a lot closer.

Of course. This time, David Stern scolded Zhuang Fei and then discouraged his anger, and asked Zhuang Fei to agree to some conditions. For example, Zhuang Fei must not return to the NCAA after his comeback. This is also what David Stern is most worried about, although he swore at the press conference that Zhuang Fei will come back, but he knows that when Zhuang Fei really wants to come back, the NCAA and the NBA will compete for him, you know, at this time, the chairman of the NCAA league is the president of Wake Forest University, and the person who picked up Zhuang Fei with one hand, he doesn't think he will be able to beat him.

In addition to this condition. David Stern also demanded that Zhuang Fei's rest must not exceed three years, and that he must appear every year for major events in the NBA, such as the Christmas War, the League Finals, and the All-Star Game.

For the request of the president of the alliance who is now a little cute in Zhuang Fei's opinion, Zhuang Fei did not refuse, and agreed to it all, which made David Stern a little surprised, because Zhuang Fei at this time actually had no obligation to agree to David Stern's conditions, so in David Stern's opinion, he didn't think Zhuang Fei would really agree.

Only after Zhuang Fei agreed to these conditions for him. Zhuang Fei's last words moved the president of the alliance, and it also made the president of the alliance a little red.

"Mr. Stern, I just wanted to tell you. I'm really not the hypocrite, shameless villain and irresponsible person you say you call it out of"

At the press conference where he denounced Zhuang Fei, many of his words were angry, some of which were too heavy, which is certain, and in the end, it may almost be a national scolding.

However, now no matter what, Zhuang Fei is leaving, and David Stern needs to solve the problem of what to do with the NBA without Zhuang Fei now, no matter whether he is still complaining about Zhuang Fei now, he needs to continue with this league without Zhuang Fei and only one Carter, just like there was only one Jordan in the NBA back then.

When Zhuang Fei finally hung up the phone with David Stern, he knew that the president was in a very lost mood now, and Zhuang Fei could also understand the current president's mood, after all, the NBA, which has been going up step by step at this time, is likely to slowly decline in the next few years because of the absence of Zhuang Fei, which is the biggest setback he has encountered since Jordan's retirement in the last ten years, in that time he finally came over, and then ushered in Zhuang Fei, ushered in the players of the Wake Forest dynasty, and ushered in a large number of NCAA fans and international fans. In the end, this is now the second professional league that is now ironclad in the United States, and even the NBA that is attacking the first professional league.

It's just that after Zhuang Fei leaves this time, just like Jordan left at that time, this is a danger and an opportunity, as long as he can cultivate another outstanding star in the past few years, or the league will enter a player like Zhuang Fei and Jordan and the former Magic and Bird, this league will break through the bottleneck again after Zhuang Fei returns, and it may really take off to become the No. 1 professional league in the United States.

It's just that this thing is not so easy, after all, not every danger he can meet nobles, although Stern knows that he has always been lucky, but he also knows that there are only three things, the first big crisis Larry Bird and the Magic helped him, the second time is Jordan, the third time is Zhuang Fei and the Wake Forest Dynasty, this time he may have to rely on himself.

At this time, David Stern has already accepted Zhuang Fei's departure, after all, even if he doesn't accept it, there is no way to do it, and at this time, many other people in the league also need to adapt to Zhuang Fei's departure, for example, after Zhuang Fei left, some of Zhuang Fei's good friends kept calling to ask when he would come back, especially Grizzlies general manager Jerry West and Heat head coach Pat Riley, and even his former assistants D'Antoni and Sam Mitchell.

How can Zhuang Fei guess the thoughts of these people, these guys are all staring at the final championship trophy, after Zhuang Fei leaves, they will lose one of their biggest rivals, after all, although Zhuang Fei has not established a dynasty team in the NBA, but he is a veritable three-time champion head coach, just like Jordan retired for the first time, as long as Zhuang Fei is there, they will always feel that they have little hope.

And in the same way, after Zhuang Fei left, there are not only these people who want to compete for the championship, such as the former head coach of the Lakers, Phil Jackson, the head coach of the New York Knicks pretended in the media that he would miss Zhuang Fei after Zhuang Fei announced his departure, in fact, he is ready to use Zhuang Fei's absence to build the confidence of New York Knicks players in the past few years, and then wait until Zhuang Fei comes back to beat Zhuang Fei with them, you know, Zhuang Fei's opponents in the finals in the first two years are Phil Jackson, without Zhuang Fei, Phil Jackson may have won two consecutive championships, so it is impossible for him to miss Zhuang Fei.

I'm afraid the most surprising thing for Zhuang Fei is Spurs head coach Popovich, the person who Zhuang Fei regards as the biggest enemy has never spoken in the media, and it seems that the whole person is silent, but Zhuang Fei is worth it, this person is the one who really misses himself, or misses the person who can beat him every year.

Not long after Zhuang Fei announced his retirement from the NBA, the Boston Celtics, another championship contender, also quickly announced that the team hired Milwaukee Bucks head coach Doug Reaves as the team's new head coach, and the two sides signed a three-year contract.

It seems that the Boston Celtics are not willing to slow down their pace, and the NBA is coming. (To be continued......)
