Chapter 1325 The Reason Why Morey Tweeted
"So there is no need to worry about Morey's matter. I will only mention Tatum in the regular meeting of the league. At least no one will commit crimes against the wind now."
Tang Tian laughed and continued.
Yao Ming nodded.
He feels that it is really important for someone to have the right to speak in the NBA.
Without Tang Tian, it would be impossible for the NBA to do this, and maybe even make the NBA apologize.
After all, he has been a celebrity who has retired for so many years, and the league president has changed twice.
Not to mention the cultural differences between the two countries.
If you don't suppress it at the first time, it may not only be fans, but also politicians who will come out to speak out.
"By the way, I have a half-baked idea of why Morey would do that."
After talking here, Yao Ming took the initiative to raise his mouth.
Tang Tian looked at Yao Ming curiously. Could it be that Yao Ming knew something inside?
It is also possible to say that Yao Ming was still in the Rockets when Morey made his debut, and it is inevitable that the personal connections between the two will overlap.
"When I announced my retirement in 2010, Morey hoped that I could help him run for the mayor of Houston, but I declined. You know I have no interest in American politics at all."
However, what Yao Ming said next surprised Tang Tian. He didn't know the inside story, but just told some past events.
But obviously, this past incident illustrates one thing: Morey had the idea of entering politics a long time ago.
Tang Tian smiled after hearing this.
This reason is much more reasonable than the previous speculations.
Such a shrewd person as Morey, it would not be surprising if this motive was behind his seemingly stupid behavior.
He has been the general manager for so many years, he has earned enough money, and his age has also risen. In addition, he seemed to have failed in politics in his early years. Now he seizes this opportunity and acts again. The possibility is not small.
"If that's the case, he's selfish enough."
Tang Tian said with a smile.
In order to enter politics for himself, he put the Rockets, the Chinese market and the NBA in a very dangerous situation.
If it wasn't for the statement issued by Tang Tian, Yao Ming, and ccx to calm down the fans' emotions, the situation would probably develop to the point that Morey wanted to see.
Even if Fertitta hadn't found Morey's early handles related to freedom of speech, Morey might not have resigned voluntarily.
Even if it was another handle, Morey might completely ignore it.
It can only be said that if Morey really did this for his political career, then the NBA has escaped this time.
Otherwise, it is unavoidable to lose the Chinese market and the market value will shrink sharply.
At the end of the chat, Yao Ming also mentioned the men's basketball movie that day.
It was a good idea at first, but the only problem is that Durant is still playing for the Pelicans. If the movie is released to steal Durant's lore, with the latter's sensitive personality, it is estimated that it will explode directly on the spot.
Even if it is replaced by other names, the individual will associate Durant accordingly.
"Then let's shoot the World Cup movie first. The heat is still there in the past, and the national team can directly find players to shoot, which is more realistic."
Tang Tian's reaction was relatively quick, and he immediately changed his mind.
In fact, both films could be made, and the timing is good.
Since Yao Ming has expressed his concerns, it is fine to choose one of the two to shoot the World Cup.
As he said, the heat of the past is still there, and it can also resonate with fans.
Yao Ming nodded. The Film Basketball Association was involved, just as they had foreseen, and had a good chance of becoming a blockbuster.
After the China game, Tang Tian returned to the United States with the Pelicans.
The Pelicans' preseason games are not only the two games in China, but also a few more games in China.
The team's performance in these few games is also very stable.
In the summer, many people worried that Tang Tian's retirement would cause heavy damage to the Pelicans, but after Tang Tian hired Durant, that worry was mostly reduced.
Now look at the chemical reaction between Durant and Davis, as well as the overall performance of the team.
Tang Tian really made the best choice and arranged everything.
This time his status has been further sublimated in the hearts of Pelicans fans.
The preseason is going on very quickly, and the regular season is about to start.
At this moment, Tatum visited Tang Tian's manor.
When Tang Tian saw him, he rarely saw anger on the latter's face.
"I'm going to announce the news, and I'm going to take revenge on that guy."
And when Tatum opened his mouth, Tang Tian was a little confused.
"That guy?"
He was full of curiosity.
"Yeah, Darrell Morey, that guy."
Tatum's expression almost gritted his teeth.
Tang Tian's doubts grew stronger. Morey's matter was over, and he didn't know why Tatum was suddenly so furious.
Tatum saw the change in Tang Tian's expression, and realized that his speech was a little jumpy, and he then explained the ins and outs of the matter.
Apart from Fertitta, there is one person who knows Morey's connections best, and that is Alexander, the former boss of the Rockets.
Morey almost screwed up the NBA, and Tatum was naturally upset with him, so he went to visit Alexander.
That is, from Alexander, he got the information he wanted, which is why Morey sent that tweet.
The truth of the matter was really guessed by Yao Ming.
Morey sent that tweet to help himself in politics.
He is really smart, knows China's national conditions, and knows that this Twitter will definitely rise to the national level, and many congressmen will support him at that time.
Even the American keyboard warriors below will regard him as a representative of freedom of speech.
Then he has political connections and support, which is a matter of course.
But to do this, the Rockets and the NBA must be sacrificed.
But these are not a problem for Morey at all. He didn't even blink when he traded McGrady, and Yao Ming wanted to take advantage of it even if he was going to retire.
He's an extremely shrewd man.
As for the Rockets and the NBA, the big hat of freedom of speech supports him, and no one dares to retaliate against him.
For him personally, he gained both fame and fortune, successfully changed jobs, and stepped into the pinnacle of his life.
It's no wonder that Tatum is so angry, because he and the NBA, including the Rockets, have all been sold.
Almost, the Chinese market that Stern worked so hard for was ruined by Morey alone.
"I think Alexander only got the news from some connections. Even if he is true, there is no proof, and Morey will be fine."
Tang Tian continued.
This kind of thing is probably said by Morey and his very good friends. It is spread by word of mouth. The possibility of Sterling's original recording is too small.
"Yes, we have no evidence, but I have a way."
To Tang Tian's surprise, Tatum's angry expression was mixed with viciousness.
This means that it is obvious that Morey is unkind and unrighteous, and he is going to take revenge.
