The invincible kryptonite of basketball

Xiao Hua's attitude at the press conference was quite straightforward.

It wasn't me who did it, it's none of my business.

And indeed, as he said, anyone can fake an email.

It cannot be said that it was him just because he knew Jenkins and Jenkins said that there was such an email.

This time, Xiao Hua pushed the matter away completely, and Jenkins who tweeted became the original sin.

And Xiao Hua is really cautious in doing things. He used a trumpet to send emails to Jenkins.

The situation was reversed by Xiao Hua at once.

Older gingers are more spicy.

But not long after Xiao Hua's press conference ended, Jenkins responded quickly and sent a new tweet.

It was a recording.

Xiao Hua was cautious, and after confirming Jenkins' attitude by email, he asked Jenkins in private.

For things involving money, there must be no trace of cash transactions.

When the two communicated, Jenkins was very sincere, and he turned off the portable recording pen in front of Xiao Hua before talking.

But both Carl and Silver underestimated Jenkins.

This guy's recording facility is not just a recording pen.

He used other things to record the content of his conversation with Xiao Hua, in which, $[-] and black history were all involved.

Jenkins didn't bring it up in the first place before because it is a felony to accept bribes in the United States.

But Xiao Hua shied away for a while and dumped the blame on him, how could he sit still and wait for death.

To put it bluntly, 1000 US dollars is a small amount, and the United States can release it on bail. He is not afraid of this at all after taking the [-] million that Tang Tian gave him.

Xiao Hua, on the other hand, was originally just maliciously smearing others, but now it has directly become a bribe.

If he does this, he, the president of the alliance, can't do it no matter what.

Originally, Jenkins and Xiao Hua insisted on their own opinions, and no one knew what the truth of the matter was, but this recording directly killed the game.

This time, Xiao Hua was actually slandering Tang Tian, ​​and even offered bribes.

No matter how you run, you can't run away.

Watching the wonderful battle on Twitter, Tang Tian and Karl are sitting in the living room of the manor very leisurely.

They thought that Xiao Hua still had many ways to deal with it, but it seems that they still overestimated Xiao Hua.

Jenkins is a direct lore.

Chapter 9 Tatum Acting President Matters ([-]rd update!)

Xiao Hua bribed and maliciously discredited Alliance No.1.

After the news was confirmed, the NBA encountered a crisis of confidence.

After all, the two sides are the president of the alliance and the No.1 of the alliance.

This is fighting in the nest!

The discussion on social media has reached a peak.

"I think both Tang and Xiao Hua are impulsive, and their actions have caused too much damage to the image of the NBA!"

"That's right, I'm afraid it will become a joke of other leagues, impulsivity is the devil!"

"And the crux of the problem now is that even if Xiao Hua abdicates, there is no good person to take over!"

……

Many fans were complaining, and even Tang Tian and Xiao Hua were complaining.

"Your vision is as short-sighted as Xiao Hua. If the penalty scale does not change, the NBA's influence in the future will only worsen! The attention will plummet!"

"Agreed, the games in Xiao Hua's era are too poor to watch. We need to make changes. Changes require a price. Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain!"

"Who says there is no successor, the current vice president Matt Tatum is the right candidate!"

"It is definitely a blessing for the NBA that Xiao Hua stepped down! The wonderful game at the beginning of the century can finally come back!"

But more people are encouraged by this incident.

The referee problem is not a temporary problem, but a backlog for several seasons. Most fans are not happy. The Xiao Hua incident is a catharsis.

Xiao Hua's resignation is already an inevitable event.

But at this critical time point, Xiao Hua fell ill.

major depressive disorder.

There is a certificate issued by the hospital, and it takes a long period of rest to recover.

It seems that this continuous incident has caused Xiao Hua's psychological defense to collapse.

This disease came at a very timely time, and it temporarily stopped the fans from criticizing.

Moreover, this incident had a relatively large impact on the NBA itself. For the purpose of stabilizing the situation, the league's top management decided to let Xiao Hua rest first.

Wait until his condition recovers before deciding on his punishment.

Prior to this, the league will have Mark Tatum as the acting president to manage the related affairs of the league.

If Xiao Hua's abdication is compared to a death sentence, then this is actually a reprieve, and the difference is only a matter of time.

The day after the league announced the decision, the league's acting president Tatum held a press conference at the NBA headquarters in New York.

Almost all world-class basketball media were present.

There have been only five presidents in the NBA so far, and Tatum will become the sixth.

This is a sensation in the basketball circle.

Tatum delivered his inaugural address in front of numerous media outlets.

The most mentioned in his speech is to restore the rules of the game in the Stern period, and to reproduce the confrontational and ornamental basketball at the beginning of the century.

In other words, he will abolish most of the new penalty rules in the Silver era, turning the NBA into a confrontational league again.

The move was warmly welcomed by fans and the media.

As a spectator, that is their favorite basketball.

But the reaction of most NBA players is mediocre.

This is also a reasonable thing. Fans like the stronger confrontation, but it also means that their risk of injury will increase.

At the critical moment, Tang Tian stood up.

"The fast-paced game tests the player's instant reaction ability, which actually increases injuries. On the contrary, if the pace drops, injuries will decrease. This change is not a reverse, it is beneficial to players and fans. outweighs the disadvantages."

Tang Tian was clearly supporting Tatum.

And after he made his voice, TNT also cited the injury rates of players in the Silver period and Stern period, which generally only decreased slightly.

And this decline is related to medical progress.

In other words, a series of changes such as tightening the competition standards, reducing confrontation, and increasing speed have not really reduced injuries.

After Tang Tian, ​​Paul, the chairman of the players union, also echoed and supported Tatum.

Whether it is personally or overall, he will do it.

Personally speaking, the three-point game is not what he is good at. What he is good at is position organization and field control.

From the overall situation, only in this way can the status quo be changed, and there will no longer be so many judgment problems.

In addition to active players, many retired celebrities also expressed their views on this incident.

Kobe: What a great change, my future son will love this league!

Jordan: I have long been unfamiliar and unaccustomed to the current league. This is a positive change.

"Magic" Johnson: David (Stern) promoted the NBA to the world. He has done very successfully, and the NBA that fans around the world like is the NBA of his era, and that is something that does not need to be changed.

……

Fans, media, players, retired and active, almost all support this change.

Only a very small number of people were speaking for Xiao Hua, but they were quickly drowned out by other voices.

Those who gain the way help more, those who lose the way help few.

In the past few years when Xiao Hua was in office, although there were ultra-long three-pointers to increase visual stimulation, the game gradually transformed into a three-pointer and slam dunk contest, and the overall enjoyment declined;

Referee problems are prominent, especially in more and more games where key penalties determine the outcome;

The star group is serious, only a few teams' games are paid attention to, and the attention of other weak teams is getting lower and lower, and the polarization is becoming more and more serious;

Everyone knew this before but no one dared to say it. Now that Xiao Hua has finally retreated behind the scenes, the fans will naturally cheer for him.

You must know that Xiao Hua's continued control of the alliance is like a slow death, and now they finally stopped the drug halfway!

A week after Tatum delivered his inauguration ceremony, the league announced a new game penalty scale.

Compared with the existing penalty scale, he obviously encourages physical confrontation, and also increases the power of each team to challenge the referee every two times in a game.

While that would make the game longer to a certain extent, it would make the game more fair.

A very positive signal is that with the implementation of the new refereeing rules, the topic of NBA games on social media has increased significantly.

And this phenomenon is not limited to the United States, but globally.

This shows that this series of changes are all playing a positive role in the development of the NBA.

People also have enough reasons to believe that the end of the Silver era is completely beneficial to the development of the NBA.

Against this background, the time has come to Christmas unconsciously.

The Christmas battle familiar to fans is coming again.

And just like last year, the Pelicans and Warriors will usher in the second season of the grand battle between the two teams on this day.

As of now, the Pelicans are 31 wins and 3 losses, ranking first in the league;

The Warriors' record has declined since Xiao Hua stepped down, but their ability to adjust is very strong. They have recently ushered in a wave of 7 consecutive victories, and their record has reached 28 wins and 7 losses, ranking second in the league.

The strength of the two teams is superior, of course, the topic is more important than the strength.

This is the first time Durant has played against Tang Tian since he joined the Warriors. Can he get rid of the difficult situation of facing Tang Tian;

Can the four-star warriors overcome the shame of being swept last season;

Without the referee factor, can the Warriors beat the Pelicans openly;

These are all the focus of this Christmas battle of the century.

ps: I'm not in good shape today, let's just watch the third watch, good night, commanders~
