I am away from home and have not returned home yet. I have not updated it recently. I apologize to all readers first. I will double compensation after the National Day ends and do what I say. I rarely write single chapter comments, the author's words are rarely used, and I don't like to ask for votes, because I don't want to affect readers' reading fluency. But this incident of Rockets General Manager Morey really makes me feel uncomfortable.

Readers who are familiar with me should know that I came into contact with basketball and nBa in 1998, and in 2020, Yao Ming started his career watching football with nBa, and until today. The first team I liked and supported was the Rockets, and the only home team in my heart was the Rockets. I supported the Trail Blazers in the middle because of writing "The Golden Age of Basketball", but nBa's first love was always the Rockets.

Of course, as I get older, I can no longer invest too much enthusiasm in basketball like many fans. Writing basketball has not made me love nBa more. On the contrary, because I need to write basketball, the more I understand nBa, the more I pay attention to nBa, the more I hate the multi-facetedness and hypocrisy of this business alliance.

Some readers who have been watching "Basketball: The Golden Age" since 2013 have been supporting me, after reading this book "Ball Boy", they say that I can't write the original flavor. In fact, my writing skills have not regressed, but on the contrary have become more mature. Therefore, in addition to the reasons for the style positioning, it is more because of the many changes in my views on nBa and basketball.

When I was young, my fantasy, passion and passion for basketball were gradually cooled by life and reality. The more I learned about nBa and the more I knew about American society, the more I could feel the glitz and hypocrisy hidden behind the wonderful and legend. Basketball, an indoor game that was first revealed to train students' body and mind, has become an entertainment tool to satisfy millions of fans with the expansion and intervention of capital and money, and nBa is the most outstanding among many tools.

In an economic society, I think this is understandable. The adult world needs to pay attention to the issue of eating, including myself earning royalties through fan writing nBa, which can be considered as stakeholders. But I also believe that the adult world needs respect, even if it is superficial respect. This is not a matter of face, but a question of boundaries and bottom lines.

The actions of the nBa alliance at this point angered and even disgusted the Chinese.

nBa has been a minor league in the Northeastern United States. At first, it was just an organization established because the owner of the local ice hockey hall did not want the venue to be idle in the summer. After more than 30 years of dismal management, nBa gradually gained a foothold in the United States. However, among several major professional leagues, it was still the last one. In the 1977 finals, even due to fights, the TV station canceled the live broadcast. The 198o finals were broadcast late at night.

Changes and turning points occurred when Stern came to power in the 1984 season. His series of reforms made nBa the nBa today. One of his most talked about is nBa's globalization strategy, which opened up a broad overseas market for nBa.

Many fans know a joke that Stern used nBa videotape to open up the Chinese market and waited for half an hour in the cold wind at the gate of CCTV, and gave the videotape to CCTV to broadcast and promote nBa. Now China needs to pay billions of dollars in broadcasting fees to broadcast nBa, and the videotapes Stern gave to CCTV were all free of charge.

This joke is widely spread. In addition to its dramatic effect, there is another reason that it reflects Stern's foresight and digs a huge cake with a long-term perspective. But I think there is another deep reason, that is, Stern's behavior is in line with our Chinese understanding of "respect". Regardless of whether the facts are true or not, Stern in the joke is respectful and humble.

In "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", Liu Bei was widely praised for his "three visits to the cottage" and got a wading dragon like Zhuge Liang; Stern was also remembered by Chinese fans because of his hard work in the cold wind, helping nBa become the world's most well-known basketball league brand. Some people may wonder, is the Chinese market so important? I want to say that nBa's so-called overseas market and globalization are worse than Chineseization and Asianization. nBa's influence in Europe has always been limited, because Europe is the world of football, and Europe's own basketball also has their own traditions and rules. Only China, influenced by nBa, has become nBa's largest "overseas colony".

However, the "colonies" here are double quotes. Chinese fans are not colonized by nBa. On the contrary, the skyrocketing wages of those stars have a great contribution to the Chinese market. However, in this case, the "respect" that Stern once reflected is gone.

Not to mention the distance, just mention the past two years, K blessings, in 2019, Lillard's three countries, and this time Morey's extremely indignant and disgusting Twitter support GD. The reason why it is disgusting is that the Rockets, as the team with the deepest feelings of Chinese fans, have been playing the Chinese emotional card for many years. China Red, China Year, China Tour, and draft selection Zhou Qi, who does not meet the requirements of nBa except for Chinese identity, is all consuming the "Chinese" cultural brand left by Yao Ming.

As fans, we are doing business, you provide respect and service, and we pay our feelings and money. This is natural. No one expects the Rockets to really become a Chinese team, but in the face of the country and nation, nBa team will not be worth mentioning. In the adult world, these are tacit, because we will respect each other. But the bottom line of this respect has been broken again and again, until this time, people can fully see nBa's ugly face "who eats you and scolds you."

The reason I want to map the entire nBa is because I know that the remarks of any public figure must be the common psychological reaction of his community. Is Morey's voice really because he is a firm liberal? If so, as the Rockets general manager, he should not pursue the "China strategy". In American public opinion, China has always been "unfree". Was he so stupid? Judging from his education and work, this person is not stupid, nor is he stupid. Combined with the handling of various insults in China in the past, the various ignorant remarks of nBa players, and the possibility of conspiracy theories, there is only one explanation for Morey's such action, that is, he does not respect or care about China at all, including the entire nBa, and they also do not respect and do not care about their largest overseas market.

It can also be seen from this World Cup that a large number of nBa stars withdrew from the national team. Is it just because the influence of the World Cup is not as good as that of the Olympics? In nBa, where capital determines players' behavior, if they really value the voice of the Chinese market, there will never be so many people who will casually withdraw from the national team. Morey's behavior is not the first time, nor the last time, but it is definitely the clearest time to show this indifference and despise, so that no one who tries to clean the floor can do it.

As the author of writing nBa for dinner, it is unlikely that I will not just write it. This is not a punishment for nBa. In fact, I do not have the ability to punish nBa. But as an ordinary fan, nBa's status as a basketball cultural sanctuary is in my heart, and I firmly believe that my current writing style is not a problem - nothing can be blackened. Since nBa regards himself as an entertainment game and does not respect their important fan group, it is not unacceptable to make them black in my body. It is not impossible to even make them no longer exist.
