Reborn as Kobe - Chapter 157

In fact, Nelson knew that the rotation is actually contrary to the principles of the NBA. The more big-name players, the more they can attract money for the league. The league gave him job opportunities and salary. In turn, he must play the game with his duty. If you always take turns, it’s good for the team, but it’s not good for the league.

Originally in history, since Popovich started a large-scale rotation as a player in rotation, the rotation of players has always been a very subtle but unavoidable topic in the NBA. There are 82 regular season games in a season, two days and one game, so that the players have been in charge. Running between away games, and insisting on daily training, there is basically no free time. Although the league players are all iron men, the NBA’s high-intensity confrontation is not a joke. In order to protect the health of the big players, the team will choose to let them rest, avoid fatigue and even injuries, and do it for more important games. ready.

Later Popovich also said that if he was the president of the league he would not allow players to take turns, but as a team coach he had to do so. This is a contradiction between the interests of the league and the interests of the team.

There is a saying in Huaxia’s workplace: if you don’t work hard, you won’t be lazy, and you won’t be long-sighted. If you want to take turns, you have to be “dirty”, choose some unimportant games, and you can’t take multiple rounds in a row. In addition, find a suitable reason, such as physical aches, flu, and a private matter that you can’t push away. field. However, players are on a rotation, and all teams in the league must report to the league. Then the external statement can be justified, so that you can take a break for one or two games. You can also take a rotation if you want to, but you can’t take a rotation during the national live broadcasts, including the Christmas game, Thanksgiving and other high-traffic match days. This way the league cannot tolerate it and will inevitably make corresponding penalties.

Of course, the NBA will never completely ban the phenomenon of rotations, because this is also related to the long-term interests of the league. If a star player is injured in the regular season and therefore can’t play in the playoffs, the league will lose out. For star players, for the interests of the team and the league, they must get a certain amount of rest during the season.

This shrinking season, it is understandable to appropriately reduce the number of player appearances and time David Stern, but the old Nelson made a bad head, in the most watched Rockets and Lakers national broadcast, actually let the league’s signature Kobe and O’Neal They all rested, which made the president get angry.
