Does Bart hate Li Wei?
Not exactly.
They had no grievances, and Bart wouldn't go out of his way to make troubles with a rookie, but there were two points.
First, he definitely misjudged the situation. His previous views were all sincere, but not only was he slapped in the face, it was done in such an overwhelming manner, whether in terms of game stats or defeating the defending champions, such a strong performance really made Bart's crash quite tragic.
Second, he didn't like the League's attitude, having taken a stand from the start, ready to promote Li Wei wholeheartedly under Goodell's ambition to expand the global market, regardless of how Li Wei performed—which clearly wasn't fair to the other rookies.
In Bart's view, he wasn't attacking Li Wei, but defending the other rookies.
Right now, such a scenario was unfolding.
