U.S. Senator Josh Hawley has written a letter asking NBA Commissioner Adam
Silver to cancel exhibition games in China.

美國參議員Josh Hawley寫了封信給Silver，要求他取消在NBA中國的表演賽。


Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey voiced support on Twitter for
pro-democracy protests in Hong Kong. Morey deleted the tweet and Rockets
owner Tilman Fertitta posted a strong rebuke of Morey’s statement on Twitter.

However, a lot of damage has already been done because of Morey’s tweet:

莫雷在推特上聲援香港。雖然莫雷已經刪除該篇推特，而火箭老闆也對莫雷的推特也發表
嚴重斥責，但傷害已經造成了。

As of February 2018, NBA China was valued at more than $4 billion, or $133
million in value for each of the 30 teams, according to Mike Ozanian of
Forbes.

根據富比世2018年2月做的調查，NBA在中國價值40億美金，或是平均下來每隊價值1億3千
萬美金。

The NBA signed a five-year, $700 million deal back in 2015 with Tencent — a
Chinese multinational conglomerate holding company — to carry NBA games in
China. The NBA signed an extension in Tencent in July of 2019 worth $1.5
billion over five years.

NBA在2015年時與一間中國騰訊簽下了5年7億美金的合約，讓NBA可以在中國舉行比賽。
2019年7月才剛以5年15億美金簽下了未來5年延展合約。

Because of Morey’s tweet, the NBA’s relationship with China is now up in
the air. Adam Silver said on Monday the NBA has already had a substantial
economic impact from Morey’s tweet.

但因為莫雷的的推特事件，現在NBA與中國的關係懸在半空中了。Silver星期一時聲稱因
為莫雷的推特事件已造成NBA有巨大的經濟影響。

The Los Angeles Lakers and Brooklyn Nets play in China on Oct. 10. There are
a few other preseason games scheduled to take place in China. The Chinese
Basketball Association has reportedly already canceled exhibition games
involving the Rockets’ G League affiliate.

湖人跟籃網10月10日就要在中國打熱身賽，除此以外還有幾場其他的熱身賽等著在中國開
打，中國籃球協會已宣布要終止跟火箭隊相關的熱身賽。

Silver and his team have some decisions to make.

Silver跟他的團隊，該是時候做決定了。



以下是參議員Josh Hawley寫給Silver的信全文：

前面文章似乎有人有翻過這封，所以這邊就不全翻了，

大意就是譴責Silver為了錢跟中國磕頭，說甚麼nba會蒙受巨大損失傷痛害

但他指著Silver的鼻子問你知道甚麼是傷害嗎？

香港人民抗爭受到的鎮壓那才叫傷害，

你今天是美國代表性的企業之一卻因為利益去迎合那種野蠻政權。

乾脆把中國比賽取消算了吧。
