24直播网 09月30日讯 9月30日，24直播网传来重磅消息，NBA正积极与欧洲足球巨头洽谈合作，力图打造全新篮球联赛。知情人士透露，NBA看中欧洲足球巨头的强大经济实力和品牌魅力，期望他们成为"NBA欧洲"的坚实基石。
The Athletic最新消息，9月30日透露，NBA正积极寻求与众多欧洲顶级足球俱乐部建立合作关系，旨在创立一个全新的欧洲篮球赛事联盟。
知情人士透露，NBA对欧洲顶级足球俱乐部的强大经济实力和显著品牌影响力给予了高度评价。该组织期望这些俱乐部能够成为“NBA欧洲”联赛的创始合作伙伴，该联赛计划于明年秋季正式开启。经过数月的积极谈判，近期的发展态势显示出强劲的推进动力。
In a significant international sports event, NBA President Adam Silver's top diplomatic envoy, NBA Executive Vice President Mark Tatum, graced the European Club Football Summit held on Tuesday. Organized by the European Club Federation (EFC) and the Paris Saint-Germain president, Nasser Al-Khelaifi, the summit's essence, according to insiders, lies not in the words spoken by Tatum but in the significance of the hosting club and the attendees. This suggests the ongoing progress in agreements between the NBA and various football clubs. The Paris Saint-Germain, owned by Qatar, has long been seen as a prime candidate for establishing a Paris basketball team. On Tuesday, Tatum, alongside NBA Senior Vice President for Europe and Middle East Operations, George David, engaged in private discussions with the leadership of Paris Saint-Germain, FC Barcelona, FC Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, and AC Milan. These esteemed football clubs have publicly expressed their interest in joining the NBA's European expansion. Notably, Paris Saint-Germain and AC Milan currently do not have basketball teams.
知情人士透露，在即将到来的下周，意大利将举办一场重要的欧洲篮球盛事——欧洲联赛的股东大会。会上，将讨论NBA提出的收购欧洲联赛并与之欧洲分支合并的计划。一位来自对此次收购表现出浓厚兴趣的足球巨头的代表在哥本哈根的会议上指出：“显而易见，若与足球俱乐部的合作未能顺利进行，他本人将不会收到此次会议的邀请。”
在EFC的盛大年度会议上，欧洲众多足球俱乐部的管理精英齐聚一堂，共享知识、研讨策略并聆听精彩演讲。在这一环节中，塔图姆以其独特的“TED风格”发表演说，而在此前的发言嘉宾中，我们有电子游戏领域的领军人物——艺电的CEO安德鲁·威尔逊，以及可穿戴科技初创公司Whoop的共同创始人威尔·艾哈迈德。当轮到塔图姆站上讲台时，听众期待能从他那里听到富有洞见的见解。他们期待着一份承诺，一份关于一项欧洲主流体育赛事能带来巨大经济效益的承诺，而这自然指的是篮球运动。然而，塔图姆深知行业内的奥秘，他深入探讨了足球的巨大影响力、欧洲球迷的热情以及欧洲体育生态的戏剧性特征。
塔图姆随后踩下了制动踏板，强调欧洲篮球在吸引欧洲体育爱好者的消费方面并未获得应有的“公正比例”，实际上，欧洲各篮球联赛仅占据了欧洲体育市场的微不足道的1%。他进一步解释说，这主要是因为在欧洲一些最庞大、最富有的国家，顶级篮球运动并不那么引人注目。这正是NBA欧洲计划介入的关键所在。
在周二的讲话中，塔图姆并未透露太多新颖信息，他透露NBA欧洲赛区的初始阵容将由12支创始球队和4个开放席位组成。据悉，这12支创始球队预计将分布在英国的伦敦、法国的巴黎、意大利的罗马和米兰、德国的柏林和慕尼黑、土耳其的伊斯坦布尔、西班牙的马德里、希腊的雅典、巴塞罗那、以及英格兰的曼彻斯特和法国的里昂。
The Celtics star also highlighted the NBA's initiative inspired by European football leagues and clubs: "For years, we've gleaned valuable insights from European football, leading us to introduce the NBA's Midseason Classic. This concept was directly borrowed from European football and European sports, where you have cup competitions throughout the season. We thought, 'Why can't we do this?' So, we applied it to our league. I believe what we're trying to do with the European Euroleague is replicate some of the great experiences you've built here. Football is clearly the biggest sport in the world. European football is one of the largest commercial entities globally, and we just want to learn as much as possible from the people here."
The Celtics star Tatum referenced the NBA's adoption of sponsor patches on team jerseys, a notion drawn from European football: "Just as Manchester United could remove their name from the jersey and replace it with a sponsor, the Chicago Bulls could also incorporate a small patch on their uniforms. We showcased this idea to the NBA owners nine years ago."
塔图姆强调，在欧洲广泛区域增设篮球设施至关重要，NBA期望通过此举促进篮球的繁荣、球员的成长、青少年培训学院的建设以及基础设施的完善，从而将其转化为一项商业上的成功投资。
