Basketball Myth: Super Guard

This is a conference room.

A group of NBA executives are sitting together and discussing how to deal with this "Qin Hao loss event".

Originally, after they communicated with Cheng Yongzheng, they had decided to issue a clarification announcement at the same time. They wanted the public to clarify that the voting for the All-Star substitute lineup was completely fair and impartial, and there was no fraud or shady.

But before they could act, they got the news that the fans in Philadelphia were holding a protest march to protest against the racial discrimination of the NBA league. Because Qin Hao was an Asian player, he was discriminated against and treated differently, which resulted in him losing the All-Star Game.

After all, there was a "voting storm" before, and Qin Hao's vote was only 32 votes away from Ross, which caused a lot of doubts and criticism.

This time Griffin was selected, but Qin Hao was not selected. It is difficult to say who has performed better this season. It is almost in the middle, so it is not surprising that people are questioning.

For a time, the NBA League was somewhat passive.

Racial discrimination is not a trivial matter. The United States is a multi-racial, multi-colored country, a federation established in the colonies. Racism has been around since hundreds of years ago and remains a sensitive topic today.

If Philadelphia fans just feel unfair for Qin Hao, it's fine, but once racial discrimination is involved, the nature will be different.

"Let's talk about it." Adam Silva, vice president of NBA and assistant to president David Stein, was in charge of presiding over the meeting. He looked serious, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said: "Now the fans in Philadelphia are in Protest marches, Chinese fans are protesting, what should we do?"

"Vice President." One person said nonchalantly: "I don't think it's anything. There are only so many fans in Philadelphia, and they can't make much waves. As for the fans in China, it's just a moment of anger. Don't they all say they are forgetful? Forget it for a while."

Hearing this, Adam Silva frowned.

At this time, another person also echoed: "Kerry is right, the fans in Philadelphia protested because Qin was a player of the 76ers, don't fans in other places still support them? So we just need to come up with one. Clarify the announcement and ignore the rest."

"right."

"I think so."

One by one, they agreed, and they didn't think it was a big deal.

Even if "racial discrimination" is involved, do you have any evidence?

The Chinese players protested because Qin Hao was a Chinese player, and the Philadelphia fans protested because Qin Hao was a 76ers player. Why didn’t they protest for other players?

If this makes the alliance capitulate, can anyone use racial discrimination as a weapon in the future to force the alliance to bow?

joke!

Adam Silva frowned and pondered. He didn't think so. He always believed that China was a huge market and it was necessary to take it seriously.

It seems a little out of place to simply issue a clarification announcement.

"Boom!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Adam Silva said "come in", a white woman walked in, it was Silva's assistant, she came to Silva and lowered her voice: "Just got the news, fans in other cities started to protest, I think the Qin incident is indeed 'racism'."

"Huh?" Silva's face changed slightly, but what he was worried about still happened.

Racism is a sensitive topic in the United States. Once this topic is ignited, there will be people who empathize with it, and it's not just fans in Philadelphia.

If it's just for Qin Hao, I'm afraid the fans in Philadelphia will protest, but if it involves "racial discrimination", it's not just a matter of Philadelphia.

"Everyone." Silva knocked on the table and told the news to the others.

For a time, everyone was in an uproar and whispered.

This surprised them, and they didn't expect this to happen like this.

Kerry, who had been careless before, could not calm down at the moment, and said in a panic: "Vice President, what should we do now?"

Silva pondered for a moment, and just as he was about to speak, the phone on the table rang. When he picked it up, he couldn't help frowning. It was Cheng Yongzheng who called.

After answering the phone, Silva's face has become extremely ugly.

"Everyone." Silva put down his phone, "another bad news, news from China, Chinese fans have started to boycott the NBA. Some Chinese media, including Sports Wujie, Sina.com, etc. have sent emails asking for We take this matter seriously and give a reasonable explanation."

For a time, everyone panicked.

The joint boycott of Chinese fans is of course not a good thing for them, not to mention there are sports five sets, Sina.com, these two are NBA partners.

If Qin Hao's matter is not handled properly, it may even affect the cooperation between the NBA and them, especially the sports five sets.

If the NBA wants to spread widely in China and expand its influence, it is absolutely inseparable from the five sets of sports.

"Vice President, what should we do?"

"What else? It must be taken seriously."

Some people began to change their attitudes.

I thought it was just some fans making trouble, but I didn't expect that even the sports five sets would intervene.

This is actually because Qin Hao shot a public service advertisement for Sports Five. Although it is a public service advertisement, Sports Five is not used for profit, but Qin Hao's support for public welfare has given them an excellent impression.

So now that Qin Hao is being treated unfairly and needs support, they naturally cannot stand idly by. And the five sets of sports are shot, and Sina can't watch it.

"This is a little troublesome." Silva felt that the situation was out of control, but could it be possible to change the All-Star substitute list?

After thinking about it, he still couldn't make up his mind. He sighed and said, "I don't have a good idea. I'd better report it to the president and let the president make up his mind."

"All right."

"Then report to the president immediately."

Everyone nodded in unison.

Originally thought it was just a trivial matter, they could handle it, and there was no need to ask the president David Stein to act in person, but now things are getting out of control, and the president must be asked to act.

Silva then reported the matter to President David Stein.

David Stein has been the president of the NBA since 1984, and it has been more than 20 years now. Under his leadership, the NBA has become a media that includes TV stations, networks, magazines and other media at the same time, and its business scope is involved in film and television, catering, clothing. and other fields, and extended its tentacles to the world, becoming a huge sports and entertainment empire.

For Mr. President, Silva respects and even worships him from the bottom of his heart. He believes that the wisdom of the president can solve this trouble well.

But to Silva's astonishment, in the end, David Stein only gave him one sentence, and it was still a Chinese word - the bell must be tied to the bell.
