A basketball professional league team blatantly engages in match-fixing. Such audacious behavior and failure to take fans seriously has naturally caused an uproar on the Internet.
In addition, in recent years, the development of the Longguo men's basketball team has not satisfied the fans.
Therefore, a wave of condemnation of the men's basketball team quickly emerged on the Internet.
By noon, this big news had reached the ears of Zhenzhong students.
Many students who like basketball are also talking and cursing.
"Blatant match-fixing is simply treating domestic fans as fools!"
"Fortunately, I only watch the NBA, not the CBA."
"Who is a serious person watching CBA?"
"Originally, the development of the domestic professional league was not very smooth. Now it is better and more complete."
"Hey, Chairman Yao hasn't been able to change much since he came to power."
It happened to be lunch time, so in many corners of the cafeteria, people were expressing their opinions on this matter.
On the third floor of the cafeteria, where classmates from Class 9 gather, they are also chatting about this matter.
However, the style of chatting between them is different from that of students in other classes.
"Brigadier, didn't you spend your summer vacation in the Imperial Capital King Kong Team? Tell us your thoughts on this matter."
He Binbin asked in a buzzing voice while eating happily.
The other students around him also looked towards Zhou Lu.
They know that Zhou Lu will definitely take the path of a professional basketball player in the future.
But unlike Lin Weirui's incredible performance, he can only start playing in the domestic professional league.
High school league, college league, and finally the professional league, step by step, steadily improving.
After Zhou Lu was trained by Yu Bowen during the summer vacation, his physical fitness became more explosive and his basketball skills became more comprehensive.
When Lin Weirui is not around, he is the undisputed king on the Zhenzhong basketball court.
Zhou Lu replied mysteriously while eating:
"I do have some inside information on this matter that I can tell you about."
After hearing what he said, the students in Class 9 became curious.
There were also a few boys who brought their plates over from other tables and crowded together with their classmates at this table.
"Brigadier, what's the inside information? Tell us quickly."
"Yes, yes, did you know that there was a team in the CBA that engaged in match-fixing when you were with the Imperial King Kong team?"
"Could it be that a team from the majestic imperial capital also engages in match-fixing?"
"Have you forgotten that Imperial Capital Jing'an team? They even lost to our county team, is that true?"
"Don't beat the corpse, that's football, we're talking about basketball now."
Zhou Lu quickly swallowed the food in his mouth, wiped his mouth with a tissue, and said with a smile:
“I don’t know if the Imperial King Kong team is engaged in match-fixing or not.”
"Let me first ask a question for those of you who also like to play basketball."
"Do you think there is match-fixing in the NBA?"
Zhou Lu did not answer the various questions from the students. Instead, he asked the students around him a question.
After hearing his words, Yue Zhanye curled his lips first, nodded and chuckled:
"Isn't this nonsense?"
"There must be."
"Anyone who knows a little bit about NBA history will know that there have been many black whistle incidents in NBA history, and some referees were even arrested and sent to jail."
"But a black whistle is a black whistle. That is a problem of the referee team. I have never heard of players from various NBA teams engaging in match-fixing."
Yue Zhanye's words were recognized by other students around him.
The nba is an extremely commercial league.
The gambling syndicate in Las Vegas has always wanted to control the game by bribery of referees, players and even coaches.
In the decades-long history of the NBA, there have been cases where referees have been exposed to be involved in gambling, betting on football, blowing whistles, and engaging in match-fixing.
But it has never happened before when a player on the team was exposed to match-fixing.
Most of the students in Class 9 who like basketball know this well.
"When NBA players engage in match-fixing, they are sacrificing their own merits, which is not cost-effective."
"If they are superstars, their fame and worth are already high enough. There is no need to participate in match-fixing. If they are role players and do not have the ability to influence the game, the gambling group will not spend a lot of money to find them."
"You're right. That's the reason. Want to bribe the entire team's players and coaches to participate in match-fixing? The price is too high. The gambling group is not a charity company."
"Brigadier, why are you asking us this? Tell us the inside information you heard from the Imperial Capital."
When Zhou Lu heard what Yue Zhanye said, he nodded and smiled:
"When I was in the imperial capital, I once heard Mr. Yu say this."
"In fact, many domestic CBA team owners and executives engage in gambling in private."
"But because there is no conclusive evidence at hand, Chairman Yao and his colleagues have no way to eliminate these cancers."
"But then again."
"In the past, they just played it in private, and everyone understood it tacitly."
"Like last night, I was too lazy to act. Even the old men and women dancing in the square on the roadside could tell that they were match-fixing. It's really unbelievable."
In fact, there were some things that Zhou Lu did not tell his classmates.
During the summer vacation in the Imperial Capital, Yu Bowen not only found someone to train Zhou Lv, but also told him a lot of secrets in the world of basketball.
In football, there is betting, match-fixing, and match-fixing. It is nothing new.
Even the European Cup and the World Cup have been rumored to have spinach and consortiums behind them.
Is it true or false?
How can ordinary people know the truth?
Compared with basketball, match-fixing is less difficult to control in football.
After all, on the green field, one goal is enough to change the outcome of the entire game.
Buying the goalkeeper to be more relaxed when making a save, buying the defender to be more relaxed when defending, etc. may have a huge impact on the overall trend of the game.
Yu Bowen once told Zhou Lv that there are many match-fixing cases in the basketball field.
NBA's over/under score, handicap of 0.5, etc. will also make people doubt their life.
Zhou Lu didn't understand these professional terms.
But when I first heard Yu Bowen talk about NBA match-fixing, the psychological shock was still very big.
Domestic team owners only play what is left over from the NBA.
…
Xu Jie received a call from Yu Bowen at noon.
"Teacher Xu, you should be worried about the CBA quota in Zhongnan City, right?"
Yu Bowen got straight to the point and asked with a smile.
His call and straight to the point surprised Xu Jie.
"Mr. Yu, do you have any idea?"
Xu Jie has always admired Yu Bowen.
Since Yu Bowen asked, maybe he really has some way to solve this dilemma.
