About Darrell Murray's resignation most Chinese fans must be especially happy, especially the Rockets' fans. Since Yao Ming joined the Houston Rockets, a large part of the Chinese fans have long taken the Rockets as their home team. This is also Morey thing after the onset of the fans can not bear, the reason for the fierce reaction.
After Morey's incident, China's mainstream media platforms, including CCTV5 and Tencent Sports, have suspended their NBA broadcasts. There is no room for compromise on such issues of right and wrong. With the loss of the Chinese market, the NBA's revenue and that of its stars have suffered a bit. But because the bulk of the NBA's revenue is still in the United States, NBA officials haven't been too concerned.
After the outbreak of the epidemic this year, the world has been greatly affected, especially the crowd gathered for the characteristics of professional sports. After a long off-season, the NBA certainly resumed play but revenues fell dramatically. At this time, the Chinese market revenue about the NBA league becomes more and more important. In order to ease the relationship with China, the epidemic during the NBA officials donated a lot of advanced medical equipment, began the ice-breaking journey.
CCTV5 suddenly announced that it would resume broadcasting the NBA Finals G5, which surprised everyone for a while. At that time, there had been speculation that Murray was not far from being dismissed. The official news of Morey's resignation was released, and the full rebroadcast of the NBA next season was confirmed.
It is difficult to say whether Morey's resignation can really be his own choice as released. But this season in the situation of having Harden and Willow, even the Western Conference can not enter, which is about the rocket boss can not afford. Another point that can not be ignored is the rocket every year from the Chinese merchants to obtain income is amazing, after Morey thing these merchants are numerous termination of the contract, the rocket on the loss of great. The NBA is essentially a commercial alliance, and a lot of things can't escape the word "profit".
