The super villain of sports

If you want to say which team has the most Chinese fans in the league, it is not the league giants Knicks, nor the Purple and Gold Dynasty Los Angeles Lakers, of course, this refers to Ye Fei before he joined the Lakers. It will not be the Greenshirt Celtics, even the Mavericks and Warriors who frequently show favor to Chinese fans today, there are not as many Chinese fans as the Rockets.

Although the former Yaomai rocket, it has been almost ten years.

That red memory has begun to fade, but for many Chinese fans, the Rockets have always been their home team.

The rocket that originally owned Yao Mai had extremely high attendance, and the rocket used a poison contract to sign Jeremy Lin, a Chinese player who played “Lin Madness” in New York, in an attempt to save the attendance that was not as good as the day, but in the end it was unsuccessful.

Jeremy Lin, who did not get a central position in the Rockets, went away, and the “bearded” James Harden who was poached from the Thunder, his news is more related to nightclubs and Kardashians, and as for bringing changes to the seat of this team, it simply can’t be done.

But Ye Fei can completely change this situation, he can pull many fans in Houston back to the Toyota Center to watch the game.

Thinking that he would make a good profit, seeing the tickets that were almost sold out, Boss Alexander saw a pile of dollars flying towards him.

Even if it is an ordinary ticket, it will cost tens of dollars even if it is cheaper.

If you think about the tickets for this kind of focus competition, many of them are around a hundred dollars, even if Ye Fei brings one or two thousand spectators to the Toyota Center, it is a lot of income.

But now all this has turned into a bubble, with Ye Fei being banned, this game, the returned tickets are not too much, and the ticket price has fallen again and again.

The NBA has always been a business league, and everything is about profit.

The league’s top management punished Ye Fei heavily, they have nothing to lose, but for these teams, the loss is not a little bit.

Once back and forth, the losses are even greater.

Ye Fei’s incident was not his fault in the first place. But if he participates in fights, he will definitely end up being suspended, and against the Rockets, he will most likely not play.

The Rockets can’t take the opportunity to make a sum of money from Chinese fans, which is an inevitable result.

But that’s it, Rockets general manager Morey and Alexander boss still stood up to spit on the alliance.

“I don’t know why they made such penalties, but it had a huge impact on the operation of our team. As long as there is a leaf game, the sales of tickets will not be too bad, there is no doubt about this. And now that we can’t even sell tickets for our next game, who should bear the losses? ”

In any corner of the world, there will be Chinese figures.

Therefore, today’s Ye Fei, even if his influence is not as great as Yao Ming, the benefits he can bring are obvious to everyone.

For the rocket, this time can only complain, Ye Fei’s behavior is still a little bad, and the ban is inevitable.

But for the Lakers’ next, away from home team.

That’s a very bad thing.

Ye Fei is banned for 25 games and will miss the game until mid-March, of which there are many missed matches.

Especially on February 5, the game against the Pelicans was a heartbreaking game for Pelicans management.

Although the thick-eyed brother brushes the data, he alone is not enough to drive the Pelicans’ sluggish ball market.

This game is even seen as a showdown between the NBA’s future two super centers.

Such a selling point is exciting enough, and the Pelicans, who have been preparing for a long time, also want to have a little Celestial Empire elements in this game and prepare Celestial Empire-style jerseys to face this game.

But the biggest attraction is that Ye Fei is absent due to the ban, so didn’t all their efforts go to waste?

Looking at the recurring bounces, the Pelicans management has a heart to curse.

Therefore, it is another team that stands up to express its dissatisfaction to the league.

It’s not just these two teams that suffer, the other teams are more or less affected.

And it’s not the Pelicans who are prepared to make money for Chinese fans.

Now because of Ye Fei’s ban, these activities will be meaningless, and the losses caused by Ye Fei’s ban are increasing, which makes many team management in the league not very satisfied.

NBA executives, at first, were unimpressed, but after the Lakers game with the Rockets, they finally began to realize the seriousness of the matter.

In this game, the attendance was less than 70%.

If it weren’t for Kobe’s appearance in this game, it is estimated that the attendance rate is less than 60%.

Compared with the beginning, the supply of tickets is far from the situation, and the ticket alone has to lose a lot.

The ratings of the last Lakers vs Rockets game were comparable to those of the Western Conference semifinals last season, but this game is almost 7% higher than the average rating of the Lakers this season.

The attention is so much less, the loss does not need to be counted, we all know that it is very miserable.

This wave is a bit miserable.

There is racial discrimination on the side of the American empire and looks down on basketball players from other countries, and the same is true in the Celestial Empire.

Many fans follow the NBA because they have players from their own country.

Even if Yi Jianlian cut 2 points and 1 board in a game, many fans paid attention to the Bucks’ game.

As long as it is known that there are Celestial Dynasty players on the field, domestic fans will generally stay in front of the screen and watch this match.

But now that they know that Ye Fei is suspended, it is estimated that few people will pay attention to the post-match news.

It doesn’t matter if a game is reached, the loss of tickets or whatever, it is acceptable.

But if you are banned for 25 games, what a loss will it bring.

After this game, NBA league data analysts, after a meal of calculations, came to only one conclusion.

That is, this wave is a bit of a loss.

And the longer Ye Fei was banned, the more the league would lose.

He is not a player like Artest, his influence is only in the US Empire at most, and Ye Fei’s influence today is already on a global scale.

His absence from every game is a loss for the NBA.

The NBA League finally realized that the punishment for Ye Fei was really a bit heavy.

I can’t afford this loss.

It’s not that the NBA league has no money, just the broadcast fee is billions of dollars every year, but who would be afraid of too much money?

It’s a coalition of interests.

Now what?

It must be to find Ye Fei to have a good chat with the Lakers. _
