NBA peak

Chapter 688 diss Xiao Hua
After the game, many lottery fans questioned the NBA's match-fixing, which attracted a large number of fans who followed suit and began to doubt the fairness of the NBA.

Sports competitions are most afraid of being associated with the word "match-fixing".

Regardless of whether the NBA officially organizes match-fixing, as long as the word "fixing" is associated with the NBA, the reputation of the NBA will inevitably be affected.

The organization above Xiao Hua, and the committee.

The committee has the right to expel the president of the alliance, but they generally will not dismiss the president of the alliance easily unless it is a last resort.

The committee agreed to hold an emergency meeting in New York on the first Tuesday after the All-Star Game.

The general content of the meeting is to discuss whether the NBA can further cooperate with gaming companies.

Due to the wide range of interests involved in this parliament, league president Xiao Hua, league vice president Tatum, trade association chairman Chris Paul, retired representative Michael Jordan, and active player representative LeBron James may all go to the parliament to attend.

The entire NBA executives realized at this moment that they can no longer let the gaming companies ignore it.

If the gaming companies are allowed to open games in such a blatant and illegal way on the NBA official website, the NBA may really develop into a corrupt league where match-fixing is common.

After the Lakers' Pelicans game, the press conference became an event that fans paid no less attention to than the game itself.

You know, when the "word" of match-fixing began to be brewed on various forums in the NBA, it meant that in the next few months, the topic of match-fixing in the NBA would become unclear.

In the past, there was a case in the NBA where the referee participated in gambling and then blew a fake whistle at the game site, resulting in a case where the team that should have won the game ended up losing the game.

The Lakers took the Pelicans lightly in the away game, and they didn't even let the Pelicans take the lead once. This is the performance of the Lakers after Davis was absent, which really made it difficult for Pelicans fans to accept.

Although Ge Feng's performance this season is extraordinary, it is impossible for Ingram and Zion to suffer together with his own strength.

The problem of match-fixing was repeatedly asked by reporters.

"Ge Feng, do you know before the game that the bookmaker's handicap for the Lakers to win is 1 to 3.5?"

"Many fans are questioning you for match-fixing. Do you have any explanation for this?"

"What do you think of Zion's performance in this game?"

Ge Feng smiled after listening.

The reporters are the masters who watch the excitement and don't think it's a big deal.

The last question, asking Ge Feng what he thinks of Zion, is actually tantamount to questioning Zion's match-fixing in the game.

After all, Zion's performance in this game was too fascinating.

Although at the end of the game, Zion also scored 24 points and 10 rebounds, but at every critical moment, Zion couldn't make a shot.

Even Joshua, who hasn't played much for the Lakers, can knock Zion Gai to the ground.

This is obviously not in line with the strength of the number one scholar!

The reporter has reason to suspect that Zion is playing match-fixing.

Ge Feng naturally wouldn't confide in the media reporters who watched the excitement and didn't think it was a big deal.

When asked by the reporter, Ge Feng just smiled and said, "I know about the handicap. It's posted on the official NBA website. As a player, it's hard to know."

"As for match-fixing... Hehe, I think you should ask the league about this issue."

"Zion is a very good player. In this game, he just made mistakes that most young players would make. This is normal."

When Ge Feng opened his mouth, the reporter immediately felt that Ge Feng was not an ordinary player...

Ge Feng is really sincere.

However, Ge Feng's answer also made the reporters in the audience commotion.

Kobe also turned to look at him in surprise.

The meaning expressed by Ge Feng's words is very clear: Even if the NBA plays match-fixing, it is the decision of the league executives.

NBA players love basketball very much and cannot do such things as match-fixing.

Therefore, if you have similar questions in the future, please ask Xiao Hua directly, and don't blame the players.

This is equivalent to putting all the responsibility on Xiao Hua.

After all, the cooperation between the gaming company and the NBA was facilitated by Xiao Hua.

What the former president Stein hadn't dared to do for decades, Xiao Hua accomplished it after he took office for a few years.

After Ge Feng said these words, his expression was very calm.

It seems that publicly expressing his thoughts is something Ge Feng has long wanted to do.

"Can you talk about it in detail?"

After the reporter came back to his senses, he asked impatiently.

Ge Feng added calmly:
"I mean, the league isn't doing its job well."

"Since the new president of the league came to power, the NBA has imposed fines on players, paid luxury taxes, led to the prevalence of cliques, the referee's whistle-blowing scale is also questionable, whether body hair fouls can be accepted by fans all over the world, gaming companies are prevalent in the NBA, NBA Finals ratings have fallen off a cliff, and even the finals of the European Cup have not received much attention.

"The above problems all show one thing, that is, the league has not done its job well, and he has made the influence of the NBA much worse than before."

If Ge Feng's previous words were considered tactful, then Ge Feng's words directly made the reporters in the stands scream.

Kobe hesitated to speak.

But Kobe thought about it for a while, maybe, the only one who dares to tell the truth in the entire NBA now is Ge Feng from China.

After all, Kobe is a player in the American system. Kobe would not say such sensitive words.

But Ge Feng was different.

The way the NBA treats players within the system doesn't apply to Ge Feng.

The only sanction the NBA can give Ge Feng is to coerce the Lakers management to abandon Ge Feng so that Ge Feng can't survive in the NBA.

However, this kind of thing is basically impossible to happen in the Lakers management.

If Ge Feng still stays in a small place like Toronto, the oppression of the league will still make the Raptors management hesitate.

But if Ge Feng is a pillar of the most prestigious Los Angeles Lakers in the NBA, then the league's warning is nothing to Ge Feng.

Ge Feng's willingness to speak out also made many reporters and players who were dissatisfied with Xiao Hua secretly happy.

Ge Feng just said what everyone dared not to say.

The few issues Ge Feng mentioned before are just hot topics that the league has been working hard to suppress over the years, but has been unable to suppress them.

Ge Feng is not the only one who is angry.

All the players and teams who have been harmed by the new rules of the league are very dissatisfied with Xiao Hua's job as president.

No one wants the NBA to be ruined by minutiae outside the game.

Xiao Hua's work is outside the arena.

What affects the reputation of the NBA the most is the various reforms Xiao Hua has made outside the arena.

Today, the competition in the NBA is still good-looking, but the perception of the NBA is getting worse and worse. This is Xiao Hua's dereliction of duty.

No matter how clever Xiao Hua is, this is a responsibility he can never shirk.
