On January 2, Beijing time, it is well known that the NBA is the world's top basketball sports league, and the physical confrontation intensity of NBA games is also the top in the world. So a lot of times NBA players will be injured, and more seriously, when NBA players are trying to grab a ball, it is more likely to hurt the fans in the audience. After all, the front row of the NBA's audience is too close to the players, and in the face of players who are two hundred pounds at every turn, fans may even be in danger of life.
Many fans have been injured by the players because they watched the ball from the sidelines, and even James once knocked a female fan down and put her in the hospital. Recently, Wood of the Rockets also accidentally injured a female fan, and he hit the ball straight to the female fan, which caused the female fan to start unconscious at that time. However, Wood's handling of this situation is obviously not as good as James's, not only did he not immediately express his apologies to the female fans, but he also ridiculed after the game to buy tickets for the female fans to apologize.
Although the act of buying tickets can indeed be understood as an apology, Wood added a crying and laughing expression to this comment, which is easy to understand as a joke about the female fan. When the female fan saw Wood's comments, she was also very angry, because Wood's ball caused her to concussion and fracture her cheekbone and was taken directly to the emergency room. After that, this female fan even had a swollen and red face, which can be said to be a very serious situation.
In an interview, the female fan said that it was inappropriate for Wood's social media to make such comments, not only did he not see his behavior as an inappropriate behavior, but also ignored the safety of the female fan's life. It is hard to imagine that such an NBA player can continue to be liked by fans, and I believe that this female fan will probably not come to the front row of the NBA to watch the game again. As for Wood's behavior, it is also likely that the league will be held accountable, because this way of handling it is too bad.
In fact, NBA fans can also understand the occurrence of this situation, after all, sitting in the front row to watch the ball is indeed a certain risk, but fans naturally want to get an apology from the player after being injured, and only one apology can resolve many things. Wood not only did not apologize at the first time but even ridiculed the fans, which was undoubtedly a wrong move. We can understand that Wood has no experience in this situation for the first time, but at the same time it can be understood that Wood really did not care about this fan.
As the core player of the current Rockets, Wood was only a small person with no name before, and he got a lot of ball rights and good statistics at the Rockets, which can add a lot of highlights to his future career. But if Wood's approach to people fails so badly, it will be difficult for him to continue to gain a foothold in the NBA. Because basketball is not just a competitive sport, it is also human. Fan love is also important for NBA players, so I hope Wood still finds this female fan as soon as possible to admit her mistakes!
