In the last two days, something amazing has happened in the NBA.

Guo Xu's 56 points and 8 assists in the Christmas game were frantically discussed on the Internet, and the Lakers used this incident to satirize Kobe Bryant and ridicule the Lakers management for being blind.

However, the intensity of the major sports media reports is not large, just mentioning the end of the game, there is no interview, no exclamation, and no stars from other teams are interviewed to talk about Guo Xu's high score. Thinking that Guo Xu scored 40 points in his rookie season that year, many players stood up and commented.

Maddie beat the Pistons to score 46 points without anyone mentioning it, and it looks like it doesn't matter if the player's high score in the Christmas game doesn't matter at all, but how can it be a small thing?

As for O'Neal's public ridicule of Kobe Bryant at the press conference, the media only briefly mentioned it, and some analysts said that this was O'Neal's angry remark and a joke, because he said that "Madsen is too alone".

The truth of the matter is that the league officials led by President David Stern used their connections to suppress the impact of Guo Xu's team to blow up his old club to the maximum, and they didn't want this incident to be remembered, although it was impossible for fans to forget.

Some things are too much, and once they go too far, they will be very uncommercial.

The Lakers can lose, they also lost a lot in the early stage, and the combination can have contradictions, but it must be pointed, and it will not end well if the trouble is too strong.

In Stern's opinion, Guo Xu's Christmas war was a bit excessive, but fortunately, he was quite interesting at the end of the season and did not appear again to brush up on the data, otherwise the president would be very angry and the consequences would be very serious.

If Guo Xu faces his old club at Christmas, he will be in big trouble, and then the president has to call a meeting of everyone, and he must work out a plan to save the Lakers' popularity that night.

Is this a slap in the face of the Lakers? It's a face-slapping alliance.

It is inevitable that the president hates Guo Xu, if the Lakers become a bad team, just like the situation of the 76ers, it is inevitable that the ratings will fall, O'Neal and Kobe Bryant are far more popular than Iverson, and the league will make a lot less money.

In a business league, making money is always the most important thing, and no matter which star you support, this will not change. If a team lacks commercial value, no matter how bloody the league is, you can go home and go fishing.

From '96 to this year, Stern spent countless efforts to turn the Lakers into the league's most popular team.

He did a lot of controversial things, such as making O'Neal, who didn't have any honors and didn't even have a best team, be selected as one of the top 50 superstars, and let Kobe, a second-year rookie and Lakers' sixth man, start the All-Star Game, and so on.

He treats the OK combination like Cao Cao treats Guan Yunchang.

Hero, naturally you come, villain, I'll come!

Although this Guan Yun is shorter than Cao Cao, when he went to cut Dong Tianbao, the red rabbit horse hit the street, the Qinglong Yanyue knife was trampled on, and Kong Xiu couldn't do it alone, and later shaved off his beard and became "no beard", but this did not affect Lord Cao's feelings for him.

The Lakers succeeded the Bulls with three consecutive championships, and Turner didn't want them to end up like the Bulls and be abolished immediately after the dynasty.

At that time, the 1998-99 season of the Bulls was excusable, Jordan retired, Pippen, Rodman left, and the dynasty team was directly disbanded, how could Kukoc remain competitive as the boss?

What about the Lakers? Only one Guo Xu has gone, and it is difficult to even enter the playoffs, do you want Stern to attribute all the credit of the dynasty to Guo Xu when he promotes? One crown over Iverson, two crowns over Jordan?

The league can't let reporters and fans belittle the Lakers. No matter how you look at it, suppressing the Lakers must be avoided.

In Guo Xu's previous life, the alliance did just that, and the contradictions of the OK combination happened as early as 2000, and it was serious in 2002, but there is always a limit to media reports. Fans later learned the truth, mostly through autobiographies written by O'Neill and the "Zen Master".

If Kobe Bryant hadn't done the "Eagle County Incident" in the summer of 2003 and said "Shackle did it too", even if the OK group broke up, the conflict between the two would not have reached the point of irreconcilability. As soon as Eagle County comes out, who will compete? It was all the news, and the matter was too big for Stern to suppress.

Later, Stern made Kobe Bryant feel what it means to be "fatherly like a mountain", he was praised again after winning two scoring titles, the Grizzlies sent Gasol to assist him in winning the championship, and the league also arranged for the OK group to win the MVP together at the Star Game, directing the touching "Laughing and Enmity" drama.

Do OK combinations really look at each other? It's not bad for either of them to laugh and enmity or make money, and the brokerage team behind them is also happy to see all this.

Kobe's image has reversed from "QJ Suspect", and he has become a superstar step by step, and he has toured after retiring, making the NBA and the Lakers profitable. O'Neill also got rid of the image of a cautious eye and little Tintin, and became an entertainment superstar after retiring, continuing to maintain super high commercial value.

In short, the news of Guo Xu's high score and OK combination infighting in the Christmas game was downplayed, and a day later, the Lakers defeated the bottom weak team Nuggets by 25 points, but it was reported by the media that the OK team jointly contributed 71 points.

A group of "experts" praised the OK combination for being shameful and brave, as long as both of them can calm their minds, the Lakers will definitely get out of the trough.

People in the media circle can see at a glance that this is hype, but most fans will buy it, and the people are too easy to fool. Next, as long as the league arranges more home whistles and star whistles for the Lakers to help them return to the playoffs, they can attract a large number of fans, maintain the Lakers' image as a strong team, and make people mistakenly think that they are still the favorites for the championship.

If Kobe Bryant can come to a wave of 40+ in a row, it will prove that he really has the strength, and he is Jordan's successor, and O'Neal should give up the ball.

If the Lakers are abused again in the playoffs, it doesn't matter, the abused ratings are also high, and it's not too late to blow up their team again. If the team that eliminated the Lakers was the best for the Suns and the most gimmicky, it would be acceptable for other teams like Stern.

There are some things in the NBA that are actually rigged behind the scenes. For example, in Guo Xu's previous life, the sixth game of the Lakers VS Kings in the 2002 playoffs was a script, and the hacking of Yao Ming and the Rockets in the 2005 playoffs was also a script.

At that time, the Rockets led the Mavericks 2-0 in the first round, and after returning to the home court, Yao Ming pulled out to cover his teammates, and was whistled for a foul when he didn't move, and he blocked the sight of NBA Golden Whistler Tim Donathy!

There is also the matter of Barkley's ass kissing in the rookie season, which is likely to be a well-greeting and premeditated hype by the league. Barkley and Yao Ming have both gained super high attention because of this, and Yao Ming, who was previously known as a "parallel import", became popular all of a sudden. If there is no classic marketing case, Yao Ming only scored 20 points, how many fans can he add?

The scandal between Guo Xu and Kirsten Dunst was hyped to divert attention, and many fans felt strange, but it did have an effect, and the stars in the entertainment industry also took advantage of the situation to jointly hype.

Of course, Guo Xu found himself being used as a pawn, but he didn't care at all, and it was his friends who profited.

He also consciously goes with the wind, and no matter who interviews him after Christmas, he keeps his mouth shut about the Christmas War, only talking about Jack and Kirsten.

Stern was very happy after seeing Guo Xu's performance and liked him even more. Young people should be like this, see their own position clearly, and not stand in the way of everyone's wealth.
