CBA Finals Major Adjustments! Yao Ming's latest statement, Zhou Qi's contract renewal suspense is revealed, congratulations to Du Feng
On May 17, Beijing time, the second game of the CBA finals, the Liaoning men's basketball team continued at home against the Xinjiang men's basketball team. Before the game, media sources pointed out that the CBA league has made major adjustments to the referee team that adjudicates the finals, drawing on the excellent referees of the Asian Basketball Federation in the semifinals and the first game of the finals, and with the approval of Yao Ming, the CBA league decided to further enhance the voice of foreign referees, and the foreign referee will become the referee in the second game of the finals, which is also the first time this season.
In addition, Yao Ming and the Basketball Association also recognize the blowing performance of the AFC referees, who strictly grasp the hand movements of players in the semifinals and finals, and strictly grasp the actions of violating the cylinder on the defensive end, which are in line with international competitions, and can also slowly adapt our national players to the blowing scale of continental competitions. Therefore, Yao Ming considered inviting more FIBA foreign referees in the CBA finals in the future.
Personally, I think that Yao Ming and the Basketball Association's decision is extremely correct. In recent years, the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team has been declining, our men's basketball team not only missed the Olympic Games for two consecutive years, but also created the worst results in continental competitions, and even lost to the Philippine men's basketball team twice. These lackluster results and losses reflect the need for a change in the men's basketball team.
Yao Ming, the head of the Basketball Association, was asked about the Chinese men's basketball team in a recent interview with reporter Wu Xiaoli, who compared the men's basketball team to "students with poor grades in the class". In response to the question of public opinion and mentality, Yao Ming said that there are some things that we cannot change, and some things we choose to listen to will be better. I think we should focus on what can be done, and I am not afraid to talk about the men's basketball team, we have not done a good job in the past two years, and I, as the main person in charge of the basketball association, must come forward to respond to everyone's doubts, but I think the more important thing is what we should do in the future.
Yao Ming believes that the Chinese men's basketball team is like a student in a big class, and there are women's basketball, leagues, village BAs, teenagers, etc. in this class, so we can't deny the whole class because one student fails the exam, I think we still have to help each other.
When asked by a reporter, the men's basketball team has not achieved satisfactory results in the past ten years, what did it do wrong? Yao Ming said that obviously we lack the opportunity to communicate with the international community, and now the international basketball exchange is becoming more and more frequent, and the competition is becoming more and more fierce.
Many fans, Yao Ming's answers were somewhat incorrect. In the Hangzhou Asian Games last year, the Chinese men's basketball team regretted that it did not hit the gold medal, and Yao Ming said at that time: I can accept two kinds of responsibility for losing. The first is to quit your job and go home; The second is to summarize the reasons for the loss, and then do the follow-up work and do everything possible to improve the performance of the men's basketball team. Obviously, Yao Ming is currently fulfilling the second type of responsibility for failure.
In the past six months, Yao Ming has not slacked off himself, and he has been trying his best to change the Chinese men's basketball team. On the one hand, he invited more AFC referees to the CBA finals, so that our national players can adapt to the FIBA referee blowing scale as soon as possible.
In addition, Yao Ming also won more warm-up games for the men's basketball team. Although the men's basketball team did not play in international competitions this summer, Yao Ming still asked Qiao Shuai to set up a short-term men's basketball training camp during the semifinals, and invited some post-00 rising stars to join the training team. After the CBA finals, Qiao Shuai will reconvene the men's basketball team and fly overseas to play warm-up games with Serbia, Italy and other strong teams. Yao Ming hopes to promote the growth of our young players as soon as possible through international basketball exchange opportunities.
It is worth mentioning that after stopping in the semifinals, Zhou Qi's contract with the Guangdong men's basketball team expired. Zhou Qi said in an interview for the first time that it was different to take responsibility in the Guangdong team, he was under a lot of pressure, and we did not have an advantage in playing the Liaoning team, and then I felt very guilty when I had a situation. This interview made Du Feng very pleased, Zhou Qi felt that he owed the Guangdong team, and he liked the competitive atmosphere of the team, combined with Zhu Fangyu's confidence to protect the fans to renew Zhou Qi's contract (decided by many parties within two weeks), so Zhou Qi is very likely to renew his contract to stay in the Guangdong team, after all, the CBA league does not want the Liao Basketball family to dominate.
