Chapter 536: Stern's Foresight (Fourth Update!) )
From the words, you can feel Reddick's attitude towards Tang Tian.
This is obviously because he was knocked out of the field by Tang Tian in the previous game but didn't get the whistle.
In this post-match interview, Rivers' answer to the referee's decision became the focus of media coverage.
This also attracted a lot of heated discussions among fans, after all, the way of speaking that is cheap and obedient makes people feel very uncomfortable.
But in the midst of these discussions, a tweet from a Chinese journalist suddenly detonated the domestic fan circle.
This was a Chinese reporter who was at the press conference, and none of the reporters who were there paid attention to it, but he noticed it.
chink, a word that most Chinese may have never heard before, is beginning to be known to Chinese.
Chink, which translates to narrow eyes and small slits, by extension, refers to the slender, slitted eyes of Chinese or Asians relative to Westerners.
This is a term in which racists deliberately exaggerate racial genetic differences in order to show their superiority.
Like the 08 Spanish men's basketball team collectively doing insulting actions is this.
Fans in China realized it later, but after knowing the meaning of the word, they immediately became furious.
Reddick, this is clearly a racist!
Some fans in China began to take to social media to Aite the NBA official and demanded an explanation from Redick.
The league reacted quickly and demanded an apology from Reddick for what he said during the interview.
Not only because of the protests of Chinese fans, but also because the league's chief vice president Tetum is Chinese at this time!
Redick: This is tantamount to scolding Tytum.
Under pressure, Reddick apologized on social media.
"I just said it unintentionally, I didn't mean to be disrespectful to Chinese fans or Chinese players."
This apology did not get forgiveness from Chinese fans, but made them even angrier.
What is the unintentional theory?
That is, are you used to saying this? You didn't mean to insult at all, but that's what you usually think?!
The Pelicans and Clippers' tie-breaker has not yet started, and the turmoil has become bigger and bigger.
"Respect is mutual, and if one day I say that JJ Reddick is, remember that I was just unintentional."
Tang Tian posted his second personal tweet.
Tang Tian is a traverser, he knows about Reddick's insult to China, but he just didn't expect it to be so much earlier.
It seems that his appearance has really changed history.
Originally, Redick apologized, and he just responded in the way he did on the field, after all, he didn't like such things as war of words.
But Reddick's attitude made him unbearable.
His current status in the league has not yet grown and he can go to scold Xiao Hua, but slapping a Redick is still a matter of minutes.
And he was smart enough not to write sensitive words like the white pig, but to use instead.
Tang Tian's popularity is very high in the alliance, and this tweet instantly became a headline.
"Redick needs a more formal apology, the NBA is a global league and it has the same attitude towards all races." Yao Ming tweeted his support at the first time.
"That's not the right thing to do, and it doesn't make sense, and he needs a more sincere apology." Kobe Bryant also quickly came out to support it.
"I know the enthusiasm of the Chinese fans, they are good fans, and that kind of word really shouldn't be there." James also spoke out through his agent.
"That's disrespectful to overseas players, basketball is pure, and it shouldn't be mixed with these things." Nowitzki also commented in front of reporters.
……
For a while, both black and white players were speaking out in one way or another.
It took Americans more than a hundred years to make blacks and whites barely equal, and they didn't want to cause more trouble.
Of course, the most important thing is that Tang Tian now plays in the league, and his influence is not only in China, but the godfather is also very popular in the United States.
Reddick picked the wrong person at the wrong time.
Under the heavy pressure of the outside world, he was finally forced to publicly record a video to apologize.
"I really didn't mean to be disrespectful to Asians, but I did make a mistake in this matter, and I sincerely apologize to all Asians and ask for your forgiveness, and promise that there will be no such words in the future, I'm sorry."
In the video, Reddick's expression looks solemn, and it can be seen that he did not do it voluntarily.
But he bowed ninety degrees after saying these words.
From these actions, it can be seen that he was forced, and even if he didn't do it, he would lose his job.
Redick's apology video came out, which temporarily calmed down the anger of Chinese fans.
But that's also temporary.
Under the premise that the Pelicans and Clippers are about to tie the seven-game game, they expect Tang Tian to teach Redick some hard lessons on the court.
The Clippers and Pelicans' tie-break has been in the spotlight, and with the Redick incident, this has become the focus of attention.
It was at this time that Benson, the owner of the Pelicans, contacted Stern and spoke to him in the tone of an old friend about the referee's penalty scale.
Stern has retired, and although he still has some influence in the league because he has not been retired for a long time, it doesn't really make much difference.
When he was still the president, Xiao Hua often worked against him, not to mention that he retired.
However, after communicating with Benson, Stern got his hands on it, and he contacted Tytum and the League Committee.
After some communication, everyone else agreed with Stern.
The league does need Los Angeles more on the stage in the second round, but judging by the reaction of the fans so far, the negative impact of doing so will far outweigh the potential gains.
Fairness is an integral part of competitive sports.
The night before the Pelicans and Clippers Game 7 began, Tatum held a meeting of the league committee, and Xiao Hua was invited to the scene.
In the room, Tetum expressed the need for a fair penalty in the upcoming game.
Other members of the Committee were in favour.
Xiao Hua panted when he saw this posture, but he didn't dare to say anything.
After all, according to the agreement, if he really fell out, he would be asked to step down.
"The referee will give a fair penalty in the later games, and if there is a clear misjudgment, they will be disqualified from the playoffs."
In the end, Xiao Hua could only choose to compromise.
That's when Stern's vision began to show.
He can use his visionary vision to promote the NBA globally, and at this time, he can also use his vision to suppress Xiao Hua in advance.
Just like Zhuge Liang's hand that guarded against Wei Yan at the beginning, the difference is that Xiao Hua did not have Wei Yan's courage and decisively admitted it.
