Chapter 773 Yao Ming takes office
The Heat are playing against the Eagles, the Celtics are playing against the Magic, Meng Yun and Xiang Long, two young people are sweating on the court.

Meanwhile, China.

Lanxie building, in a meeting room.

There were a lot of people in the conference room, all of them were staff members of Lanxie. Everyone was looking at the tall man on the stage, that was Yao Ming.

Some people were talking quietly.

"Yao Ming has become the chairman."

"Yeah, he just became the president of CBA last year, and now he is the chairman of Lanxie. From now on, his right to speak will become bigger and bigger."

"Isn't there still a headquarters?"

"There are so many sports bureaus, can the general bureau manage them? At least in terms of basketball, Yao Ming will have the final say in the future. But this is also a good thing."

"Well, this is indeed a good thing. I think he will make some moves in the future. It is said that he has been planning some things. The specifics are not clear, but it must be related to the national team."

"I heard that too."

Yao Ming's election as the chairman has actually been decided long ago. Many people have received the news. Today is just an official takeover, which can be regarded as an announcement to the public.

For Yao Ming to be the chairman, most people support and welcome it.

First of all, Yao Ming's status in the Chinese basketball world is definitely No.1. He is the first Chinese player to be an All-Star in the NBA, and the first Chinese player to truly gain a firm foothold in the NBA and become the core of the team.

Moreover, Yao Ming's contribution to the Chinese basketball industry over the years is obvious to all. He bought the Shanghai team, established a cba company, and carried out a series of reforms in the cba. These are all visible.

Everyone has reason to believe that under the leadership of Yao Ming, China's basketball career will get better and better.

Yao Ming stood on the stage and made a declaration of inauguration.

Naturally, there was thunderous applause below, and they were all enthusiastic. The entire inauguration ceremony went smoothly.

After the inauguration ceremony was over and Yao Ming returned to the office, some old friends such as Wang Zhizhi, Zhang Mingji and Liu Wei came one after another, and everyone congratulated Yao Ming.

Wang Zhizhi smiled and said, "Now that you have become the chairman, some things will be much easier to handle in the future."

Liu Wei said: "From now on, we will all be your subordinates."

Several people laughed, no matter whether it was Wang Zhizhi or Liu Wei, although they retired, they must still make a living in the basketball circle. It is not wrong to say that they are Yao Ming's subordinates.

After laughing and chatting for a while, Yao Ming suddenly said seriously, "Now that I'm officially in office, I can actually do some things."

Several people were immediately awed, Yao Ming had some ideas and plans long ago, Wang Zhizhi and the others all knew about it.

Yao Ming talked eloquently: "First of all, it is the national team. I plan to split the national team into two teams, so that we can recruit more players, let some young players with potential join in, and participate in some international competitions, so as to play a role in the national team. Exercise. Of course, just getting together for a period of time and playing some games has a limited effect on them. But at least it is an opportunity. With opportunities, young players will work harder."

"Also, I hope we can have more players on the stage of other leagues."

"In the past, apart from playing in the CBA, our players were trying to enter the NBA. But I don't think this is the only way. In addition to the CBA, it is not only the NBA. There are other very good professional leagues, such as ACB, EL, There is also the NBA Development League, these are good, at least in terms of our player level, these leagues are worth experiencing."

Hearing this, Wang Zhizhi and the others were a little surprised.

In the past, the paths of Chinese players were youth teams, professional teams, and cba. Some outstanding players, such as Wang Zhizhi, Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, and now Zhou Qi, etc., will enter the nba.

In fact, it is cba and nba, nothing else.

Those who can go to the NBA go to the NBA, and those who cannot go to the CBA.

But now Yao Ming has set his sights on Europe. Leagues such as ACB and EL have considerable influence in Europe, but little is known about them in China. They also have some rejection of Asian players, so it's not that they can't go, but not many players are willing. Go, they would rather stay in the cba to play.

The same goes for the Development League.

The nba development league is the second level league of the nba. Although it also carries the word "nba", it is said to be the talent training base of the nba team, but in fact it is far behind the nba. Compared with the ncaa, there is a big gap between the real talents of the nba The output base is not the Development League, but the NCAA.

Because there are nba and ncaa in the United States, not many people pay attention to the games of the development league, which leads to the lack of market for the development league, and the commercial income can not even make ends meet, and they still have to rely on the support of the nba team.

It is conceivable that the treatment of players in the Development League will not be good. The salary and treatment are far different from those in the NBA. Some players in the Development League are even worse than those in the CBA.

So it is almost impossible to see Chinese players playing in the Development League.

Now that Yao Ming has put his mind on these leagues, Zhang Mingji felt that it was inappropriate, and said, "Yao, you also know the situation in these leagues. I'm afraid there are not many players who are willing to go."

"I understand." Yao Ming said, "In fact, we also have our responsibilities. In the past, we only thought about bringing in foreign players from these leagues, but never thought of sending our own players to these leagues for training. It can be said bluntly, This is the reason why our cba league has been tepid."

Several people frowned, but no one refuted.

Yao Ming continued: "Our cba league originally introduced foreign players to allow local players to get in touch with high-level foreign players, play with them, and improve themselves, but what happened?"

"The result is not good, the effect is very mediocre. Now the CBA is almost becoming a world of foreign aid. If it weren't for the support of the United Arab Emirates, we wouldn't even have a single player who could do it."

"The original idea was correct, but I don't think it is comprehensive enough. Just a few foreign aids can achieve the purpose of exchange and learning? That obviously won't work, unless a large number of foreign aids are recruited. But that is also impossible, there are too many foreign aids The taste of our CBA league will change, and it will really become the domain of foreigners."

Everyone in Wang Zhizhi knows this. There was a reason for introducing foreign players and controlling the number of foreign players. If a team has too many foreign players, they won’t need your local players at all, and they won’t bring you. If you are still learning, you may be isolated by foreign aid.

It would be too embarrassing to be isolated in your own league and become a marginal person at your own door.

So the current situation is rather embarrassing. The number of foreign players is limited. For the sake of their respective records, of course, the teams are looking for some foreign players with outstanding abilities, which are too far behind the local players.

This gap in strength is too big, and it is difficult for local players to learn and improve. To learn and improve, you still need to find that the gap with yourself is not particularly large.

Moreover, it is impossible for CBA to relax the limit on the number of foreign aid, which is also not advisable.

Therefore, the original purpose of introducing foreign aid was not achieved, and there is no way to solve this problem, so the situation can only be like this.
