July 2022,The Hornets's player Xiao Qiao (pseudonym) was exposed to domestic violence, causing the team to urgently withdraw the ultra-high-salary contract that was originally planned to be renewed with him**. According to US media reports at the time,The HornetsInitially, it was intended to sign a five-year contract with Joe for a total of up to 1$800 million contract. The HornetsAfter considering Joe Jr.'s outstanding performances such as points, rebounds, and assists per game, it was decided to offer him such a lucrative contract.
Joe Jr. in the 2021-2022 season forThe HornetsPlayed in 80 games, averaging 202 points, 7 rebounds and 38 assists. Not only is he outstanding in terms of scoring, but he is also very good defensively, and his performances on the court are impressive. He also has a high attendance rate and has important consistency and competitiveness in the team. It is with such an outstanding performance that Xiao Qiao is really expected to come fromThe HornetsGet a super-high-paying contract there.
However, just as the contract negotiations were about to be completed, Little Joe was suddenly embroiled in a domestic violence scandal. He was first charged by **, and thennbawithThe HornetsIn order to maintain their respective images, but also serve as a warning to others, he was banned for 30 games. That meant Joe Jr. missed out on the entire 22-23 season. nbaWe have always been highly concerned about domestic violence against players and have taken severe punishment measures. While incidents like this happen from time to time, the league and teams want to curb this bad behavior with severe penalties.
In addition to Joe Jr., there is another player, Porter Jr. (not his real name), who also made serious mistakes. After an argument with his girlfriend, Porter Jr. actually committed domestic violence against him, which caused itnbaof attention. In order to preserve the image and reputation of the league, as well as maintain the team's moral standards, the Rockets decided to take action and send Porter Jr. away, even if it meant trading at a loss. So, shortly after being traded to the Thunder, Porter Jr. was quickly cut and he was never found againnbaThe place where to stand.
Porter Jr. is only 23 years old, and he has already paid a heavy price for his impulsiveness. Now, his future is still full of uncertainty and whether he will be able to returnnbaIt all depends on his creation and opportunity. This story gives us a deep thought: as a professional athlete, you not only need to have excellent skills and abilities, but also need to maintain good personal conduct and moral integrity, and no matter how good a player is in front of the moral bottom line, you cannot be tolerated.
Compared to Little Porter's fate, Little Joe is obviously lucky. During his ban, he went through a period of painful learning and threw himself into individual training in order to wait for an opportunity to return to action. After the ban ends,The HornetsHe was readmitted and offered a one-year contract of $7.9 million. Joe did not live up to the team's expectations, and although he was away from the field for a year, he did not have any discomfort in the transition period, and still showed his personal strength.
This season, Joe Jr. has played in five games, averaging 21 per game2 points, 88 rebounds, 28 assists and 14 steals. He also had a pretty good three-point shooting percentage, shooting 50 from the field7%，Three-point shotThe hit rate was 375% and a whopping 82 free throw percentage1%。Despite missing 1$800 million in ultra-high-paying contracts, but Joe Jr. managed to get more opportunities for himself through timely remediation. As long as he can maintain such a good performance, I believe that many teams are willing to give him a big contract, after all, 3-and-D players like Joe Jr. who have the ability to shoot, break and defend at the same time are very rare in the league. It can be said that opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared.
Through this story, we can see that the aura on a professional athlete is not always brilliant, and it is also possible for them to make mistakes or get into trouble. The story of Little Joe and Little Porter teaches us that an individual's character and ethics are crucial in determining whether or not a person can stand on their feet in the end, regardless of the circumstances.
For athletes, in addition to exercising and improving their skills, they also need to maintain a good attitude and behavior Xi at all times. In this way, you can improve your professional image and win the respect of fans and clubs. Being fully aware of this is crucial for a player's career development and the establishment of his or her personal image.
At the same time, as fans and spectators, we should also look at the performance of athletes with a more rational and objective attitude. We should pay attention to their efforts and struggles, and give them the opportunity to correct their mistakes and the possibility of stretching their wings to recover.
Whether it's Joe Jr. or Porter Jr., their experiences remind us that no matter what kind of industry we are in, we can't escape the constraints of ethics and conduct. Only by maintaining good life Xi and quality can we truly become heroes in people's minds. Hopefully, these two players will learn from their lessons, keep improving themselves, and win a better future for their careers. At the same time, we also hope that more athletes can become excellent role models, convey positive energy to the society, and create a better image for everyone.
