42 million in 3 years! A single season 200 three-point shooter played counterfeit goals?

Recently, the NBA circle was overturned by a "bomb"! The protagonist is Malik Beasley, the Detroit Pistons' shooting guard who performed well this season!

Think about it, this guy has performed phenomenally this season, averaging 16 points per game, and his three-pointers are even more accurate, with a shooting percentage of 41.6%! The most important thing is that he scored more than 200 three-pointers in a single season, which is the label of a top scorer! Just when everyone thought the Pistons were about to take off and Cunningham and the others were going to say goodbye to the bad, ESPN's boss Shams broke a big news - the US District Attorney's Office is investigating Beasley on charges of suspected gambling activities related to NBA games and betting!

My God! As soon as this news came out, the entire basketball world was in full swing! Isn’t this a complete counterfeit game? Do players go out to play and bet on the results of their own or other people’s games? How can I play this? The most core of competitive sports is fairness and justice. If this is confirmed, it will really cause a big mess in the NBA! What is more dramatic? The Pistons were determined to give Beasley a maximum salary contract renewal, which cost 42 million US dollars in three years! This was the peak of his career, and his money was almost at his mouth. But now? Bang! The negotiations were stopped directly! The 42 million is about to be "stopped"! It’s a pity for him to think about it, but it’s also a worry for the league.

Beasley is not over yet. This guy is an old acquaintance to Lakers fans! In 2023, he was still playing as a substitute for the Lakers. At that time, his three-point output on the bench was also awesome. He scored 159 three-pointers in a season, ranking first among the substitutes! But the problem is that he performed poorly in the playoffs and his defense was even more slapped. The Lakers did not implement his player option in the end, so he went to the Bucks with a minimum salary. Now, something happened to the Pistons, and Lakers fans can't sit still! They were in a turmoil online, asking the league to investigate thoroughly, and even shouted: "Look at whether he had made small moves when he was with the Lakers? I must give an explanation!"

Lakers fans are not easy to mess with, and this is really not a boast. If Beasley really finds out that he plays counterfeit ball, it will definitely be a disaster-level impact on the entire league. Think about Xiao Hua's original intention of introducing the gambling industry was to let players and the league taste the sweetness. But now that he has such a thorn, how frustrated he feels?

This matter has also pushed the old problem of gambling to the forefront. Some people have already opposed the confusion between gambling and sports, but now there is a true scandal, and there will definitely be even louder opposition. I personally think that the league must take a tough attitude, investigate it strictly to the end, and restrain the players' behavioral boundaries. Otherwise, once this black spot spreads, the reputation and fan base of the entire NBA will suffer. The purity of competitive sports cannot withstand such tossing! Dear friends, what do you think of Beasley? Should he be suspended? Let’s talk in the comment area!
