Xiao Hua bribed and maliciously smeared the first person in the alliance.

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

After all, the two sides are the president of the alliance and the first person in the alliance.

It's a nest fight!

The buzz on social media has reached a peak.

"I think both Don and Xiao Hua are impulsive, and they have lost too much of the NBA's image by doing this!"

"That's right, I'm afraid it's going to be a joke for other alliances, impulsiveness is the devil!"

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

……

There are many fans complaining, and they are complaining with Tang Tian and Xiao Hua.

"Your vision is as short-sighted as Xiao Hua, if the penalty scale does not change, the influence of the NBA will only be worse in the future! Attention will plummet! ”

"Agreed, the game in Xiao Hua's era is too poor to watch, we need to make changes, change comes at a price, and the long pain is better than the short pain!"

"Who said there is no successor, the current vice president Matt Tetum is the right person!"

"Xiao Hua's resignation is definitely a blessing for the NBA! The wonderful game at the beginning of the century can finally be back! ”

But many more people are encouraged by it.

The referee problem is not a temporary problem, but a backlog of several seasons, most fans are unhappy, and the Xiao Hua incident is an outlet.

Xiao Hua's resignation is already an inevitable event.

But at this critical juncture, Xiao Hua fell ill.

Major depressive disorder.

There is a certificate issued by the hospital that it will take a long period of rest to recover.

It seems that this continuous incident has collapsed Xiao Hua's psychological defense.

This illness came at a very good time, and it also temporarily stopped the fans from verbal and written criticism.

And this incident has had a relatively large impact on the NBA itself, and the league's top management decided to let Xiao Hua recuperate first for the purpose of stabilizing the situation.

Wait until he recovers before deciding on his punishment.

Until then, Mark Tetum will be the acting president of the alliance to manage the affairs of the alliance.

If Xiao Hua's abdication is compared to a death sentence, then this is actually a reprieve, and it 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's headquarters in New York.

Almost all of the world's leading basketball media were in attendance.

There are only five presidents in the NBA so far, and Tatum will be the sixth.

It's a sensational thing in the basketball world.

Tetim delivered his inaugural speech in front of numerous media outlets.

The most mentioned thing in his speech was to restore the rules of the game during the Stern era, to recreate the confrontational and spectator basketball of the beginning of the century.

In other words, he would repeal most of the new penalty rules of the Shaw era and turn the NBA back into a rival league.

The move was warmly welcomed by fans and the media.

As spectators, that's their favorite basketball.

However, the reaction of most NBA players was modest.

It's also a matter of course, and the fans like it, but that also means they are at increased risk of injury.

At the critical moment, Tang Tian stood up.

"The fast-paced game is a test of the player's instantaneous reflexes, which actually increases the number of injuries, and on the contrary, the pace will decrease the number of injuries, and this change is not a reversal, it is more beneficial than harmful for the players and fans."

Tang Tian is obviously supporting Tatum.

And after he spoke, TNT also cited the injury rate of players from the Shaw and Stern eras, which were generally only slightly reduced.

And this decline has something to do with medical advances.

In other words, a series of changes such as tightening the scale of the game, reducing confrontation, and speeding up the pace have not really reduced injuries.

After Tang Tian, Paul, the president of the players' union, also echoed Tetum.

He does it both personally and in the big picture.

Personally, the game of the three-point king is not what he is good at, what he is good at is positional organization and control.

In terms of the overall situation, this is the only way to change the status quo and no longer have so many penalty problems.

In addition to the current players, many retired celebrities also expressed their opinions on the incident.

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

Jordan: I've long been unfamiliar and unaccustomed to the current league, and that's a positive change.

"Magic" Johnson: David (Stern) promoted the NBA to the world, and he did it very successfully, and the NBA that fans around the world liked was the NBA of his time, and that was something that didn't need to be changed.

……

Fans, media, players, retired and active, almost all of them supported the change.

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

Those who have attained the Tao have much help, and those who have lost the Tao have little help.

In the past few years of Xiao Hua's tenure, although there have been ultra-far three-point increases visual stimulation, the game has gradually transformed into a three-point and slam dunk contest, and the overall viewing has declined;

Refereeing issues are prominent, especially in the increasing number of games where key decisions determine the outcome;

The stars are seriously grouped, only a few teams' games are concerned, and the attention of other weak teams is getting less and less, and the polarization is becoming more and more serious;

Everyone knew these before, but no one dared to say it, and now that Xiao Hua has finally retreated into the background, fans will naturally cheer for it.

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

A week after Tatum announced his inauguration, the league unveiled a new game scale.

He significantly encourages physical confrontation compared to the current penalty scale, and also adds the power of each team to challenge the referee twice in a game.

While this will make the game longer to a certain extent, it will make the game fairer.

A very positive sign is that with the implementation of the new refereeing rules, there has been a noticeable increase in the buzz of the NBA game on social media.

And this phenomenon is not just in the United States, but globally.

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

People also have enough reason to believe that the end of the Xiao Hua era is completely beneficial to the development of the NBA.

Against this backdrop, time has come to Christmas before you know it.

The familiar Christmas game is coming again.

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

As of now, the Pelicans are at the top of the league with 31 wins and 3 losses;

The Warriors' record has slipped since Xiao Hua's ouster, but they have a strong ability to adjust, and they have recently ushered in a wave of seven straight wins, and their record has also reached 28-7, ranking second in the league.

The strength of the two teams is outstanding, and of course, more important than the strength is the topicality.

This is Durant's first time playing against Tang Tian after joining the Warriors, and whether he can get rid of the dilemma of facing Tang Tian with a win;

Can the four-star Warriors fall through the shame of being swept last season;

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

All of these are the focus of this Christmas century war.

ps: Today's state is not good, let's just watch three watches, commanders, good night~
