Chapter 307 Public Opinion
NBA headquarters.

"Mr. Stern, how should we deal with this matter?"

The assistant next to him said to David Stern.

"I'm thinking about..."

"To be honest, this kind of thing should not happen in the NBA, it makes me very sad..."

David Stern said helplessly.

In the distant 90s, it was David Stern who handed over rolls of videos to CCTV media for free in the cold wind, which officially opened the door to the Chinese market.

As Yao Ming became the first Chinese NBA No. 1 pick, and gradually played out, the Chinese market is being tapped step by step.

Now, Jin Hao, Yi Jianlian and other equally talented players have entered the NBA, and their performance is no worse than their predecessor Yao Ming. Therefore, in David Stern's original vision, the Chinese market has begun to be completely opened to them.

But now this kind of thing happened...

If the Chinese market is closed because of this incident, then for the NBA, it will definitely not be worth the candle.

Purely in terms of the nature of the NBA business league, David Stern had to make the safest decision.

"Mr. President, should we impose a fine on Jin? After all, as a public figure, he beat the Pacers players until they passed out... We must make an example!"

Adam Xiao Hua said lightly on the side, it seems that in his opinion, this is a matter of course, and this is also the most appropriate treatment in his heart.

"Adam, your thinking is too narrow. No matter from the perspective of profit or morality, it is impossible for us to impose a fine first."

"We are already very clear about the cause and effect of the incident. Once something like racial discrimination happens, it will have a great impact. Now our local and foreign public opinion is too fermented!"

"We should now focus on punishing the culprit, Rodney Stucky, and then issue an official apology."

Daweisite shook his head, and slowly expressed his thoughts.

Adam Silver was stunned, a little dissatisfied in his heart, he couldn't understand why David Stern cared so much about the Chinese market.

From his point of view, it is not a big problem to stop cooperating with China in the short term.

"Don't look at me with that look, you haven't changed at all after you've been with me for so many years."

"One more thing...you are already wooing interest groups now, don't think I don't know about it."

"At present, I can live for another five or six years at least. During this time, I will properly arrange the next successor. Don't think that you will definitely be selected by the board of directors."

"All of you go out first, I will handle this matter myself!"

David Stern's eyes are flat and watery, making it hard for people to see whether he is sad or happy in his heart.

As David Sent, who single-handedly brought the NBA to glory, his status and reputation in the league are unparalleled, and even members of the board of directors have to take his feelings into account.

Adam Silver didn't dare to say anything more, he is just a small character now.

Soon, he and several other assistants retreated into the huge president's office, leaving only David Stern wondering what he was thinking.

……

"The racial discrimination incident of the Pistons has aroused continuous attention from all walks of life. As one of the important media in Los Angeles, we have always felt that the NBA officials must deal with this matter. Rodney Stucky's remarks deeply hurt people of yellow race... "

"Not only Chinese citizens like Jin, but also Chinese from all over the country, we have to give them an explanation..."

"No matter what, we will always stand on the side of justice, and racial discrimination must be resolutely resisted!"

-- "Los Angeles Times"

"This sudden incident has deeply hurt Jin Hao, our athlete who is playing in the NBA, and all people of yellow race!"

"We desperately hope that NBA officials can give you a reasonable explanation!"

"At the same time, there are Pistons officials, and we hope they will give everyone a reasonable explanation!"

—— "Chinese Media"

"This incident can be regarded as a wake-up call for the NBA. Incidents of racial discrimination must be taken seriously. In any case, such incidents cannot be allowed to affect sports competitions!"

"No matter what, we are always on the right side!"

—— "ESPN"

The pressure of public opinion is also increasing, as long as anyone with a little sense of reason will stand on Jin Hao's side.

After the media finished speaking, celebrities from all walks of life began to speak out...

"I've done a lot of movies in Hollywood, and I had a pretty good impression of it, but recently a lot of friends told me the news...

"I am very angry about this, not only because of my countrymen, but also myself. If the racism persists for a long time, I am not sure if I will go to Los Angeles again!"

Cheng Long, who was in Xiangjiang, immediately commented on this matter.

As the best-developed and most popular Chinese actor in Hollywood, Cheng Long's influence is undoubtedly extremely huge.

Afterwards, all of Cheng Long's friends in the circle stood up one after another to support Jin Hao.

Jin Hao didn't expect that Cheng Long would suddenly support him, and it would be a lie if he said he wasn't curious.

However, when he recalled Cheng Long's consistent style of "always standing on the side of the mainland when it comes to matters of right and wrong", he could understand it.

But understanding is understanding, Jin Hao still remembers this kindness in his heart, and he will treat it as a debt of favor, and he will repay him when he has a chance in the future.

"I hate this kind of thing very much, because we are all human, and there is no distinction between high and low!"

"Jin is a very good basketball player who encountered this kind of injustice. I hope that the NBA officials will immediately stand up and deal with this kind of matter without delay!"

The magician Elvin Johnson, who is also a teacher and friend with Jin Hao, said this to the camera in an interview on the night of the incident.

At the same time, many forums at home and abroad are speaking on this topic.

"I also encountered such a thing in the United States, but every time I couldn't get enough help. This time, with the help of Jin Hao, I hope those people can give an explanation!"

"Yes, if there is no explanation for this matter, then I would rather not watch the NBA in the future!"

"As a native-born African-American, I can relate to Kim's feelings, because I've been through something like this before!"

"We all hope that the NBA can give everyone a reasonable explanation!"

……

While the outside world is talking, the NBA game is still going on.

The third opponent of the Lakers' six-game streak is the Raptors, the only team in the NBA whose team is located outside the United States.

Because it was another back-to-back game, I just left Detroit on the night of the [-]th. After a short rest the next day, the game between the Lakers and the Raptors was ready to start.

It is worth mentioning that many people of yellow race came to the scene.
