The special topic "Re-Exploration" will re-investigate the many "legends" and "unsolved cases" circulated among fans in the NBA for many years, lay out the facts and tell the evidence, and restore the truth of these anecdotes. In this issue, we will talk about the "Ingles decided to retire in 2022" that has been rumored on the Internet in the Chinese.
On March 11, 2020, US time, Ingles' Jazz teammate Gobert was found to have a new crown, and the NBA announced a suspension. Shortly thereafter, Mitchell, another of Ingles' teammates, was also diagnosed with the infection. Although Ingles himself tested negatively, he was obviously aware of the seriousness of the new crown, so on March 24, 2020, when he made a guest appearance on a podcast called "Tampering", he expressed his concern about the NBA's rematch that season: "The NBA will make a decision on whether to resume the game in the future, I really don't know what the final decision will be, if the season is canceled, then I will be very sorry, because I want to play basketball, I love basketball, I like the feeling of walking on the court and talking to my opponents. I love to compete and I enjoy winning. However, right now, it's hard to even start talking about the rematch, because a lot of people can die from COVID-19. Yes, a lot of people work in the NBA, and continuing to play means a considerable income, but it's a matter of life and death now, and no matter what decision the NBA makes, it will be very difficult. ”
The relevant news released by the live bar at the time >>> Ingles: If I had to, I would choose to stay away from basketball in order to protect my children
As can be seen from the above words, Ingles really understands the seriousness of the new crown infection, and when the new crown may endanger the lives of his own children, as a father, it is very understandable to give up his career to protect his children. Ingles' youngest son, Jacob Ingalls, who was 4 years old at the time, was suffering from autism and his autoimmune function was weaker than normal, and belonged to the high-risk group of new crown. So, Ingles said on the podcast: "If you tell me I have to leave basketball to protect my son Jacob from the coronavirus, then I will do it, I will fly back to Australia and not play any more games, which is no problem for me." 」 I can leave the gym right now and go straight to the airport in the clothes I'm wearing now, I don't want my family to face the pandemic alone, and if I had to do that, I wouldn't hesitate to do so. I don't want Jacob to face the pandemic alone, I don't want his sister Mira to face the pandemic alone, and I definitely don't want their mom to face the pandemic alone. I certainly want to continue my basketball career, I have a million reasons to love basketball, but I only need one reason to give up basketball - I love Jacob, and if Jacob needs companionship, then I will give up basketball to accompany him. ”
All of the above is the reason for the statement that "Ingles intends to retire".
Over time, like everyone else, Ingles learned more about COVID-19 and calmed down from his initial panic. At the same time, the NBA is basically sure that it will have a rematch at the right time. On May 19, 2020, the Jazz announced that Bojan Bogdanovic was absent from the rest of the season due to right wrist surgery. The news of the teammate's season reimbursement once again reminded everyone of Ingles's "possible retirement" remarks two months ago, in order to stop the speculation of netizens, on May 22, 2020, Ingles tweeted what he said before: "To clarify, two months ago when I said those words, I didn't know about the new crown, so naturally I didn't know what I needed to do." I know the NBA and Jazz will only resume games if they are confident that everyone's health is guaranteed, and I won't let my teammates down when our safety can be guaranteed. ”
Ingles's explanation is convincing, and when he made the remark that he could retire, as he himself said, he did not know about the new crown at the time, only that people can die because of the new crown infection. As a father, he prepared for the worst at the time and did his best to ensure the safety of his children, which was a manifestation of fatherly love. As he learned more about the new crown, Ingles calmed down from the initial panic, and he followed the Jazz to the 19-20 season rematch, averaging 10.6 points, 3.6 rebounds and 6.6 assists in the last eight games of the regular season. In seven games in the playoffs, he averaged 9.1 points, 3.4 rebounds and 4.7 assists per game.
The above is the ins and outs of the rumor "Ingles decided to retire in 2022" in the Chinese network, when I checked the English information, I never saw any news about "Ingles decided to retire in 2022".
I also read some Chinese articles about "Ingles decided to retire in 2022", which quoted what Ingles said in the podcast on March 24, 2020, US time mentioned above, but in that podcast, Ingles definitely did not say that he was going to retire in 2022.
From the introduction above, it can be seen that even if it is retired, it will be immediately retired at that time (March 2020), not in 2022. So why do fake messages spread so much across Chinese networks?
Ingles can be described as a father to his son, which in itself is very attractive material, if the marketing numbers on this basis to weave the story of "Ingles has decided to retire", it will further harvest traffic, which is probably the fundamental reason why the fake news of "Ingles decided to retire in 2022" has been spread on the Chinese network.
