NBA

The full name of NBA is the American Professional Basketball League. NBA was founded in New York on June 6, 1946, with Maurice Porto Lov as the first president of the league. At the beginning of the league, there were only 11 teams, unlike 30 teams now. Among them, Celtics, Warriors, Knicks are the three teams that still exist since the establishment of the league, and are the established strong teams of the NBA. NBA League includes two parts of the Eastern League and the Western League, each league is divided into three game areas, each game area includes 5 teams, a total of 30 teams. At the end of each season, NBA draft will be held. After the NBA draft, team rookies will participate in the NBA summer league, NBA preseason and NBA regular season.

On April 4,2016, Yao was officially elected to the 2016 Nai Smith Basketball Hall of Celebrity and became the first Chinese to be honored.

Due to Yao Ming's joining, the Houston Rockets have become the home team of Chinese fans in the NBA. At the same time, relying on Yao Ming's great influence in China, NBA's business territory in mainland China continues to expand. According to Xinhua News Agency. NBA China was valued at $4 billion in 2018 and covers a variety of areas, including event broadcasting, franchises and business partnerships. NBA, the world's largest basketball business league, has made a lot of money in the last 30 years since Chinas market is opened. Alexander, the former Rockets boss, said publicly in an interview with reporters in 2006: "I would like to thank Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, especially after Yao Ming came, who brought me $1.2 billion because developing the Chinese market is my biggest business opportunity."

HONG KONG CRISIS

In February 2018, a man in Hong Kong fled back to Hong Kong after killing his girlfriend in Taiwan. After the police solved the case, the man could not be handed over to Taiwan for trial because there was no agreement between Hong Kong and Taiwan on criminal mutual legal assistance arrangements and the transfer of evading criminals. From this time, we can see that there are some loopholes in Hong Kong law, which provide temporary shelter for some criminals. If a sound legal mechanism can not be established, the personal safety of Hong Kong citizens will be greatly threatened. Therefore, the proposal to amend the legislation put forward by the SAR Government at this time is not only a requirement to improve the legal mechanism, but also an urgent requirement for the development of reality. On April 16, 2019, the major coalition of people from all walks of life in Hong Kong launched a joint campaign to support the amendment. As of June 12, 900000 people had participated in the online joint event. At the same time, the SAR Government has widely listened to public opinion and actively promoted the amendment of the Fugitive offenders Ordinance, which has won the strong support of the mainstream public opinion.

Since June 2019, Hong Kong's opposition and some radical forces have engaged

2

in radical and violent protests in the name of peaceful gatherings. Under the guise of "anti-amendment", they continue to create violent conflicts, which have brought continuous instability and unease to Hong Kong society. Due to the escalation of violence, the SAR government has to send police to maintain normal order of the march. In the face of the police officer, militants began to attack the police in an organized manner, encircling police headquarters and government parts, and even some militants rushed directly into the Legislative Council building of the SAR to wreak havoc, seriously disrupting the normal order of Hong Kong society.

After entering July 2019, the thugs made more disturbances. On July 1, when people from all walks of life celebrated the return to the motherland and the establishment of the Hong Kong Special Administrative region, thugs blocked traffic intersections, stormed the police line and attacked the police. In the days that followed, things escalated further. The demonstrators launched a series of so-called "resumption of Tuen Mun Parade", "Kowloon Parade", "Recover Shangshui Parade, and so on, As a result, a large number of shops in the wandering area closed, which greatly affected their business. In addition, the residents in the parade area have also been greatly affected, seriously harming the normal lives of the residents and causing great harm to the rule of law in Hong Kong.

After entering August 2019, the "storm" and the "chaos" are further upgraded. The militants were arrogant and lawless. In particular, on 3 August, a number of masked black-clad extremists, with the flag of a building hung from a building at the end of the Senna Star Ferry, made a clear challenge to the sovereignty of States. In addition, in order to avoid the police's driving, the militants took a flow-by-step approach, and created a flow of disruption. At the same time, the "strike" and the destruction of public facilities broke out, and the serious disruption have influenced the normal life order of the people of Hong Kong and the continued turbulence of the Hong Kong society have also been brought to the attention of the militants.

As a result of a series of violent incidents, the level of violence in the militants has also increased. In the face of the dispersion of the police, the militants have not only scattered, but also actively impact the police's line of defense with bricks, firebombs, petrol bombs, paint bullets, etc. They use a laser gun with great damage to the eye to irradiate the police, eject the hard material with the catapult, and even ignite the debris to throw the police. A degree of harm was caused to the police in order, and the normal public order was seriously disrupted.

On September 5, 2019, the Hong Kong Special Administrative region Government announced the withdrawal of the amendment. The spokesman said that the people of Hong Kong have the right to express their views and the freedom of assembly, but demonstrators should abide by the laws and social order of Hong Kong.Demonstrates should maintain calm, exercise restraint, disperse peacefully as soon as possible, and do not violate the law. When violations occur, the police will take appropriate measures to stop them. The Commissioner of Police of the Hong Kong Special Administrative region Government, Mr Lo said that in the face of the march of radical demonstrators, the police had always exercised restraint, but the demonstrators had been attacking the police with bricks, iron railings and so on. This

was a serious irresponsible act. We will severely condemn the thugsact. Hong Kong police reiterated once again that violations of public order and public safety must not be allowed. On the evening of that day, the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative region, Mrs Carrie Lam, delivered a televised speech to the people of Hong Kong, strongly condemning the acts of violence that destroyed social tranquillity and ignored the law and discipline. She hoped that the community would restore order as soon as possible and called on the whole people who loved Hong Kong to stay away from violence.

At the beginning of Morey's appointment, he was faced with a huge mess. The only stars on the team are Tracy McGrady and Yao Ming, other role players and bench players are old, small and almost unusable. However, the team manager, who has been made fat by the fans, did something that made the fans excited and manic. First, Morey quickly cleaned up some of the original junk contracts.Then,by trading and talent shows,he attracted Scola, Battier, Artest, Lori, Landry and other backbone forces. In this series of operations, Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady also ushered in the most brilliant of their careers-22 straight wins of the season. After that, Yao Ming's injured career was scrapped, Tracy McGrady was traded and the Rockets were temporarily in trouble for three years. However, three years later, Rockets fans welcomed James Harden and Warcraft Howard, while Lin Shuhao, Parsons, Beverly and other players gradually matured, and the Rockets are once again on the road to rejuvenation.

On Oct. 5, 2019, Darrell Morey posted a picture on his Twitter post entitled "fight for Freedom, with Hong Kong" in support of Hong Kong thugs and was immediately shelled by Chinese fans. Under great pressure from public opinion, Morey had to delete the picture and replace it with another picture of Tokyo awake. Then, Rockets owner Phil Tita also issued an urgent Twitter clarification on October 5: Morey does not represent the Rockets. "listen. Morey can't represent the Houston Rockets. We came to Tokyo to better promote NBA,. We're not a political organization. "

After the Morey incident, the China Basketball Association responded on October 6, 2019, saying it would suspend cooperation with NBA Houston Rockets Club. Subsequently, Tencent Sports, Li Ning, CCTV Sports, Pudong Development Bank and so on announced the suspension or suspension of cooperation with the NBA Rockets. As the Morey incident continues to ferment, the Chinese Consulate General in Houston has made solemn representations to the Rockets. Under great pressure from public opinion, on October 7, 2019, Michael Buss, chief communications officer of NBA, issued the following statement: "We made inappropriate remarks to Darel Morey, general manager of the Houston Rockets." Feeling extremely disappointed, he has undoubtedly seriously hurt the feelings of Chinese fans. Morey has now clarified

that his comments do not represent the position of the Rockets and NBA. Under the values of NBA, people can learn more about what they are interested in and share their views. We have great respect for China's history and culture. We hope that sports and NBA, as a positive energy of unity, will continue to build bridges for international cultural exchanges and bring people together. "

On 7 October 2019, the client, Mr. Morey, issued a tweet response, claiming that he then said to the "I have no intention of offending the Rockets fans and my friends in China through their own Twitter. I'm just trying to express an idea for a complex event, based on some sort of interpretation. Since that tweet, I have the opportunity to listen and think about other (thinking) angles." in the second, ""I've always appreciated the strong support of Chinese fans and sponsors, and I hope that those who are disappointed will understand, offend, or misunderstand that it is not my intention. My tweets only represent me and do not represent the Rockets or the NBA.".

ROCKETS

As the most influential NBA team in China, the Rockets have benefited greatly from China in the past 20 years. According to incomplete statistics, Barnes, Francis, Scola and other nearly 10 Rockets players are linked to China because of the Rockets' great popularity in China, some of which cost more than 100 million yuan.Tracy McGrady, Landry and other former rocket stars have also traveled to China all the year round to make money. And the Rockets also welcomed Yao Ming in 2002, but also won the crazy favor of Chinese sponsors. According to the news learned by the China Business News, since Yao Ming joined the Rockets,including Yanjing Beer, Pike, Fang Zheng Group, ZTE Mobile phone, Pudong Development Bank and a large number of Chinese companies have worked with it. Alexander, the former Rockets boss, said publicly in an interview with reporters in 2006: "I would like to thank Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady, especially after Yao Ming came, who brought me $1.2 billion in wealth." Because developing the Chinese market is my biggest business opportunity. " Until 2017, when Alexander resold the Rockets, the price was $2.2 billion, up 25 times from the time of the acquisition.

Because the Chinese market has a large number of NBA fans, the NBA Alliance makes huge revenue from the Chinese market every year. And the Rockets, as one of the affiliated teams of the NBA, will naturally benefit from the annual dividend of the NBA League. The league's profits at the end of the year will be distributed by 30 teams according to their respective wind direction, so the Rockets will receive another generous income. Tencent Sports and NBA, the exclusive official partners of NBA Chinese digital media, renewed their contracts in July 2019. The contract will be renewed for five years, with a broadcast fee of US $1.5 billion, or about 10.3 billion yuan.

According to its estimate, NBA annual event broadcast rights revenue of about 370 million yuan. Together with revenue from other sectors, NBA generates about $1.2

5

billion a year in revenue in China. Just now, NBA is paying for the Morey incident, and there may be a dark moment in China. At present, Chinese-sponsored airlines working with the Rockets have suspended or suspended their cooperation with the Rockets, such as Li Ning, Anta.

ADAM SLIVER

Adam Sliver, born in New York in 1962, graduated from Duke University and received a degree in law from the University of Chicago. He is currently President of NBA. He became President of NBA on February 1, 2014 and is the replacement of former President David Stern. In 2003, Adam Sliver was listed by time Magazine and CNN as one of the most influential business people in the world. On March 26, 2015, Adam Sliver was named "the 50 most outstanding leaders in the world" by Fortune magazine. Behind this series of honors is Adam sliver's decisive style of handling things, especially when he quickly quelled the Clippers in 2014. The boss, Donald Sterling, is a racial discrimination event.

On April 27, 2014, < TMZ >, a famous gossip website, exposed a recording of a quarrel between Clippers owner Donald Sterling and his girlfriend, in which the Clippers reprimanded his girlfriend for dating black friends without scruples, especially a picture of her and famous black star magician Johnson that angered Sterling again, thus exposing once again the bad root of her serious racial discrimination. Magician Johnson also gave a firm reply in the face of this situation. On April 10, 2014, the Clippers owner's girlfriend Steviano uploaded a picture of himself and the magician on his Instagram. The trigger of a quarrel. "I'm upset that you brazenly preach that you make friends with blacks. Do you have to do this?" In the recording, Sterling was furious. "you can sleep with blacks, you can take them home, what can you do with them?" My only small request is not to publicize these stupid things widely and not to bring them into my game. "? "all I want to say is that on your filthy Instagram, you don't have to send pictures of yourself and blacks everywhere." Sterling's words were mixed with rude words, "not even magician Johnson, who will see it all over the world, but." Then ask me about it. And don't bring him into my game. ""it is shameful that Donald Sterling has such an attitude towards black people." After hearing Sterling's comments, the magician's response hit the nail on the head. "his team is made up of almost all black players with amazing talent, and they are now working hard for the team to win a championship." Even among the Clippers fans, a large number of minority fans are firmly supporting the team. "

At 2: 00 on April 30, 2014, at a news conference in New York, NBA President Adam Sliver officially announced the results of an investigation and punishment of racist remarks by Clippers owner Donald Sterling. Sterling was banned for life and fined as much as $2.5 million. At the same time, Adam Sliver stressed that from now on, the alliance will do everything in its power to force Sterling to sell the Clippers. A lifetime ban is defined as Sterling's inability to watch NBA games or training on the spot, to appear in any Clippers office or stadium, and to participate in any commercial activities and individual decisions of players involved in the Clippers. At the same

6

time, Starling is banned from attending the NBA board meeting and can't participate in any of the league's activities. It is worth noting that, before that, Mr. Sterling has never been fined or suspended from the league, that is, the heavy penalty this time is for the first time the fast-fleet boss was punished for the first time. Adam Sliver said: "Mr. Sterling is barred from participating in any organization that has a relationship with the Clippers and the NBA. This decision will take effect immediately!" said it was the maximum fine line set by the Union's Constitution. In addition, Adam sliver also apologized to all the black players on behalf of the NBA. Adam sliver said he had an exchange with the fast-flotilla before the decision was made. "Yes. "I've had a communication with the Clippers, including Chris Paul,"Adam Sliver said. "I'm sure they're going to be satisfied. If there is a player who isn't willing to play for the Clippers, then we'll do it again. Mr. "As for the future of the Clippers, Adam Sliver said he will do his best to urge the NBA's board of directors to exercise its power to force the Starling to sell the team. Is it true that the racist speech that TMZ is exposed to is true from the port of Sterling? In response, Adam Sliver made a clear statement:" has admitted to me that that's his voice. "But in addition, Stirling didn't add any of it to the shore. His point of view, that is to say, he did not apologize to Adam Sliver. Adam Sliver also said: "when I first heard the recording, I was shocked!" the president of NBA announced that NBA and the players' union would donate the amount of the fine to anti-discrimination groups. It is worth noting that the League's ban is directed only at Sterling and does not include his relatives. In the wake of racial discrimination, the mayor of Los Angeles held a press conference attended by NBA superstars such as Jabbar, Kevin Johnson and Steve Nash. The mayor of Los Angeles said: "Justice has been done!" In addition, the Clippers changed their officials after the press conference. On the front page of the web, there is only one meaningful sentence, "We Are One and the Clippers' team mark.

The Clipper's boss, Donald Sterling, responded to the coalition, and the time point was just before the NBA's president, Adam Shaw. Mr. Sterling said he would not consider the issue of the sale of the team. "I've been talking to Starling not long ago," 's American basketball name, Jim Gray, said the "The information is that the express ship will not be sold and he will not sell the team." was in a press conference in New York earlier today, and the president, Adam Sliver, personally announced the results of the investigation and punishment of Donald Sterling's speech: the fast-ship owner Sterling was imposed a lifetime ban and a fine of $2.5 million was added. In addition, Adam Sliver stressed that the NBA will make every effort to force the Starling to sell the Clippers. After the announcement, the parties have given a very high degree of evaluation. Including the league's first-line star, Kobe, and James, are also at the first time, through the social platform, to praise Adam Sliver's decision. And from the response of the stirling, he is still in the face of the pressure of the parties, but it is clear that the force from the outside has become increasingly unstoppable. The name of "Grant land", Zach Lovi, revealed that, if The alliance will eventually win the approval of more than 75 percent of its members, who will control the Clippers, and once that happens, I'm afraid even Sterling himself will be powerless. On May 30, 2014, Donald Sterling's family trust officially signed an

7

agreement to sell the Los Angeles Clippers by former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, who offered $2 billion. The agreement will be handed directly to the NBA Alliance for final approval without Donald Sterling's own consent. On Aug. 13, according to NBA's official website, the alliance officially announced today that former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer's successful acquisition of the Clippers will officially succeed Donald Sterling as the Clippers' new boss.

On Oct. 5, 2019, Darrell Morey posted a picture on his Twitter post entitled "fight for Freedom, stand with Hong Kong" in an attempt to show the eyes of Hong Kong thugs. As soon as Morey's comments were made, he quickly aroused the anger of countless Chinese fans, who demanded that Morey apologize for his remarks. Then, domestic and rocket companies have announced the suspension or suspension of cooperation with the Rockets. Chinese fans and domestic companies hope to get Morey and the Rockets to apologize for their mistakes in this way, but unfortunately, two days later, Morey and the Rockets still haven't apologized. Original thinking that NBA was under pressure from public opinion, senior executives would come out and apologize or ease the storm by laying off Murray. But all Chinese fans are waiting for is Adam Sliver's support for Morey's decision. On Oct. 8, 2019, Adam Sliver, president of NBA in Japan, responded to improper remarks by Houston Rocket General Manager Morey in response to improper remarks about Hong Kong. "there is no doubt that the economic impact is already clear," he said. That Twitter has had quite a lot of consequences, and I've read that some media suggest that we don't support Morey, but in fact we do. As an organization based on values, I want to be clear "The support of Morey is to enable him to exercise his freedom of expression," he said.

THE UNITED STATES

Many politicians,such as Hillary Clinton, had used what they called "freedom of speech" to support Morey and blamed NBA for "pleasing China" for its money. Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell not only hastily equated Hong Kong thugs with "Hong Kong warrior", claiming that he risked themselves to defend thier freedom of speech, human rights and autonomy," and even pressed NBA to "learn from this courage" and not give up these "values," Capitol Hill reported on the 8th. Congressman Bill Pascal, Democrat of New Jersey wrote to Adam Sliver, president of NBA, saying, "NBA and its bosses must ask themselves whether your corporate profits are more important than the ideals of freedom that form the cornerstone of the United States." Senator Cruz , a prominent Texas Rocket fan with the Rockets, attacked NBA for not supporting Morey. He said on Twitter that he was "very proud" to see Morey's comments. He also accused NBA of shamefully retreating for money. Republican Senator Marco Lubio, who has intervened in Chinese affairs many times and is known as the "anti-China pioneer" In order to protect NBA's market in China, NBA "threw Murray under the bus" to "please China," NBA said. In addition, a number of Democratic 2020 presidential candidates also put pressure on NBA. Julian Castro said China used its economic power to "suppress critics,even critics of the United States." Beto O'Rourke also supported Morey, pressing NBA, to say "the only

8

thing NBA should apologize for is that they openly put profits above human rights." And on the morning of the 6th, Yang Anze, a 44-year-old Democratic Chinese-American candidate, has lined up on Twitter, calling China's ban on rockets "terrible." NBA superstar James has publicly criticized Murray, but has sparked a flood of attacks on him in the United States. Several members of Congress have joined the siege of James, and there have been humiliations against James on the Internet. For example, he was painted holding 100 yuan to swear allegiance to the Chinese flag, and he became a typical example of "worship in front of Communist Party money."
