I fell in love with Toutiao and became the GOAT.

The most difficult part of dealing with racial discrimination is the identification process.

Many incidents of discrimination often go unpunished because the perpetrators deny the allegations, making it difficult to assign blame and impose penalties.

After all, in the noisy competition environment, cameras that are far away simply cannot clearly capture a person's every word and every expression.

In football, there's also the concept of lip reading. To avoid lip reading, some football players will cover their mouths and then utter those unpleasant words.

The NBA does not recognize lip reading as valid evidence, which is why Redick dared to use discriminatory language like "Chinaman" without restraint.

But this time, Redick ran into a brick wall.

Lin Bei was prepared. He had bought the small, round voice recorder in advance and also considered that the NBA does not allow any accessories, such as necklaces, rings, and earrings.

He pondered for a long time before finally deciding to stuff this thing into the shoe tongue.

In the past few games, he had specifically tested the sound recording effect of this thing.

In any case, the sounds of the opponent within two or three steps can be clearly recorded.

Redick's expression changed, and Howard immediately fell silent, his smugness vanishing without a trace.

The referee, Steve Javier, nicknamed "Mr. T," is known for his tough officiating.

Standing in front of the two groups of people, he finally understood what had happened.

Javi gripped the whistle tightly and first gestured for a technical foul towards Redick.

Redick didn't argue, shrugged, and walked to the side.

Immediately afterwards, Jia Wei made the same gesture to Lin Bei again—another technical foul.

Lin Bei immediately objected: "Why is his ruling the same as mine? He was the one who started this; I was just retaliating!"

Actually, he could accept this ruling.

But adhering to the principle of "making a mountain out of a molehill" and "making a mountain out of a molehill", Lin Bei still started shouting.

At first, Javi didn't take Lin Bei's protest seriously. He just gave Lin Bei a cold warning and then turned around to prepare to blow the whistle again.

Lin Bei persisted, pointing at Howard again: "And that crybaby, he just falsely accused me, shouldn't he be punished?"

Javi turned to Lin Bei with a serious expression: "This is the last warning."

This final warning still carries significant weight for the other players.

A player who has already received one technical foul will be ejected after accumulating two technical fouls.

Lin Bei is not like other players. In this game, he was already struggling to withstand Howard's attacks and couldn't wait to leave the court and rest.

He continued to pursue Javi relentlessly, showing no sign of backing down: "Even if you give me another technical foul, I'll still say this call is unfair!"

A beep!

Jia Wei turned around and, as Lin Bei wished, gave Lin Bei another technical foul.

Lin Bei raised an eyebrow, shrugged, patted his butt, and turned to walk towards the sidelines.

Seeing Lin Bei leave so casually, Jia Wei was somewhat bewildered.

Upon reaching the sidelines, Lin Bei apologized to head coach Mark Jackson. Jackson simply patted Lin Bei on the back without criticizing him.

The Warriors then made a substitution, with Ekpe Udoh entering the game.

……

Without pausing, Lin Bei went straight back to the locker room and took out the spherical voice recorder.

He quickly pulled up the latest recorded footage—

Amway Center's attendance this season has been mediocre, with few audience members, making this recording exceptionally clear with almost no ambient noise.

Within seconds, Lin Bei accurately located Reddick's discriminatory "Chinaman".

He originally planned to edit the crucial recording on his computer after the away games were over and he returned home, but the Warriors are currently on a long away game stretch and there is no possibility of them returning in the short term.

After a moment's thought, Lin Bei had an idea: he turned on the speakerphone function of the voice recorder, took out his phone and started recording, simultaneously transcribing this crucial content to his phone.

Immediately, Lin Bei opened Twitter and began editing his post—

"Some people might be wondering, what exactly happened on the court? Why did JJ Redick get a technical foul, while I was ejected with two technical fouls? The answer is in this recording—(attached: recording)."

He didn't try to cover it up. The edited recording not only contained Reddick's discriminatory remarks, but also his retort calling Reddick "white trash." Even Howard's distorted and false accusations against him were clearly recorded.

After clicking send, Lin Bei didn't stop and immediately edited a second tweet, with a strong attack in his tone:

"Is this the America that so many people idolize? An ordinary NBA game is filled with such offensive racist language, it's disgusting..."

The moment Lin Bei pressed the send button, he knew he had escalated the situation dramatically.

What he wanted was to make a big fuss, to make it so that no one could ignore it, and to make sure he made the headlines.

As for whether things can end peacefully after they escalate, Lin Bei thinks it shouldn't be a big problem.

Although he also retaliated by discriminating against Redick, there is a fundamental difference between him and Redick—he is indeed not a racist.

Moreover, racial discrimination is no small matter, and once you get involved, there is no possibility of it being "minimized".

After thinking for a while, Lin Bei reopened Twitter and clicked refresh.

The two tweets that had just been posted instantly garnered hundreds of comments.

Lin Bei scanned the comments and found they could be divided into three categories.

One group expressed surprise at Redick's racist remarks, strongly criticizing Redick and Howard, and expressing zero tolerance for racism.

Another group seized on his use of the term "white trash," questioning whether he and Redick were birds of a feather and both engaged in racial discrimination.

Finally, there was a group of genuine racists whose remarks were so offensive they were not worth mentioning.

Within minutes, hundreds of comments appeared.

This incident of racial discrimination has quickly become a hot topic, after all, this is America, the United States, which prides itself on having zero tolerance for racial discrimination.

Meanwhile, inside the Amway Center, the competition was still in full swing.

Redick would occasionally exchange a knowing smile with Howard, and the two were secretly gloating over Lin Bei's expulsion from the game.

They were completely unaware that a vast web of public opinion had quietly enveloped them.

Until Magic head coach Stan Van Gundy called an emergency timeout.

He walked solemnly to Howard and Redick, and whispered:

"That rookie center on the other team has already tweeted about what happened on the court, and now the whole of America is talking about it..."

Redick's face instantly darkened, and his smugness vanished completely.

Howard shrugged dismissively, "It's just 'Chinaman,' what's the big deal?"

Howard's words were like a reassurance to Redick. He calmed himself down and realized that it was just a form of address and might not cause any serious consequences.

Unbeknownst to them, Lin Bei was still operating the equipment in the locker room.

Lin Bei directly quoted a comment that considered him to be cut from the same cloth, replying:

"I'm just retaliating, and I'm only targeting JJ Redick. Only white people like him who spew racist slurs from the moment they open their mouths are white trash. Other innocent white guys, please don't take it personally."

At the same time, he also received a call from his agent, Dan Fagan.

"Someone from the league contacted me; they've noticed the sentiment on Twitter..."

Lin Bei's lips curled into a knowing smile—things had really gotten out of hand.

In fact, it was from his second tweet that he escalated the incident into a critique of the state of racial discrimination in the United States.

This incident was destined to be earth-shattering and could not be easily resolved.
