A lot of hostility over in China.
I have heard that the Chinese get a lot of their rap music years after it comes out, so I wonder if they just started to listen to No Limit Records and this is what is causing all of the brawls.
Deadspin gives us a glimpse of what happened.
The American team is identified as the “New Orleans Hurricanes,” which seems an unfortunate choice of names, and Chinese social media sources suggest the argument came about due to neither side understanding each other’s language. It seems that sort of thing ought to be sorted out before an exhibition tour of China is launched, but according to Weibo user Shi Shiwu:
Zhejiang and American teams brawled ~~American player No. 17 had a nasty attitude from the start! Was an intense spectacle, tossed mineral waters filled the court. No. 17 picked up a stool and threw it at the spectators, in the end riot police showed up.
That is a pretty bad choice for a D League team name.
As you can see from the video the brawls in China make The Peace’s Elbow look like a love tap.
I can not confirm or deny that JR Smith’s sister Baby Precious was in attendance.
