Due to The poor performance of Wei Shao in the Lakers this season, but also let his family suffer "death threats" in the recent past, a little earlier Wei Shao's wife Nina updated her twitter, accusing herself of being molested and death threats by extreme fans, "not to the family", it is true that Wei Shao's performance is indeed criticized, but his family is indeed innocent, and it is indeed debatable that these fans have made such extreme practices.
After today's game between the Lakers and the Spurs, Wei Shao also talked about the death threats to his family: "I have coexisted with criticism from the outside world all my life, but this time it really affected me, and even my wife did not dare to bring her children to the home court to watch the game." ”
Westbrook's concern is not an exaggeration, because in the history of American sports, there is really almost a ridiculous plot of athletes being hurt by these extreme fans, but it did not happen on the basketball court, but in MLB Major League Baseball, dating back to 1972, when a female fan was queuing outside the Cincinnati Riverside Stadium while overhearing a man and his companion whispering, the man warned, If the Oakland Athletics' Gene Tenace hit a home run in this game (there have been 4 before that), the Athletics' receiver won't get out of the court alive.
After hearing this, the female fan immediately panicked and ran to inform the stadium's security guards, who later found the extreme fan, who was holding a bottle of whiskey and a loaded pistol, and if the security personnel did not find out in time, the athlete of the athlete might actually be attacked. In the United States, a country that is extremely obsessed with sports, the 4 major sports leagues will inevitably have these extreme fans, watching the ball is originally a recreational activity, if you really bring your extreme negativity into the sports game, it is indeed likely to make these athletes suffer personal safety.
And the NBA over the years there are many players have been subjected to these fans of the "death threat", beverly, who was still playing for the Rockets, because of the malicious foul on Westbrook in the playoffs of the Rockets and Thunder in 13 years, which led to the latter suffering from a meniscus tear, and at that time, there were fans who issued death threats to him, and Claude, who is currently playing for the Suns, also suffered from nonsensical death threats, after receiving these threats, he deliberately upgraded his security system at home for the sake of safety. In addition, retired Blake, Ray Allen, and Pachulia have also suffered verbal profanity and death threats, large and small.
And back to talk about Wei Shao, joining the Lakers this season, it is indeed Wei Shao has encountered the most severe challenges in recent years, and he has not been able to play a chemical reaction with the team for a long time, so that his average data this season has fallen by 18.1 points, 7.6 rebounds and 7.2 assists, some time ago Wei Shao has shut down his social media, and these "crazy people" are still not spared, and they have extended their claws to his family, which is undoubtedly to bear the "double torture" for the psychological and physiological aspects of Wei Shao. The only thing that can make these negative remarks disappear can only be hoped that Wei Shao can usher in a rebound in the next game and "silence" with practical actions.
