I believe that in the past two days, everyone has been slow to accept the fact that the national football team has lost to Vietnam, and at present, our national football team is getting more and more spanned, and there is no trend towards the best, and even naturalization cannot save them. At this time, we found that the development route and development trend of the Chinese men's basketball team were reasonable and correct.
Since Yao Ming took office as the president of the Basketball Association, the doubts and slanders have never stopped, all of which stem from his drastic reforms, unlike every previous president of the Basketball Association, his goal is very clear, that is, to fundamentally change the status quo of Chinese basketball. He was by no means just talking, and it was precisely because he seemed to be on the opposite side of everyone.
Fundamentally, the problems encountered by the men's basketball team and the men's football team in recent years are the same, that is, with the social progress and the prosperity of the people, the domestic professional training system has been unpopular with parents, resulting in parents not wanting their children to engage in this bowl of "youth rice", after all, investment does not necessarily lead to results, and excellent talents are becoming more and more difficult to tap.
Today, Chinese football is already a dying situation, we have lost now, and the future is even more hopeless. However, Chinese basketball, on the other hand, has burst forth under the vigorous reform of Chairman Yao Ming. I can say with certainty that, at least for now, his idea of vigorously cultivating the basketball population is completely correct, and the future of mainland basketball career can be expected!
Fans' previous doubts about Chairman Yao were nothing more than the following 3 points:
1. The results of the men's basketball national team are not ideal: the defeat of the men's basketball World Cup in 19 years has made the Chinese men's basketball team lose its qualification for international competitions in recent years, and this group of men's basketball players can only make a car behind closed doors in the league.
2. The CBA league is still not professional enough: blindly following the NBA has led to no land, Yao Ming has previously insisted on promoting the commercialization of the CBA, pushing the player free market and the draft conference, hoping to make the league no longer an inherent player, an inherent system, interrupting the monopoly of the guangdong men's basketball team. But overall, the current CBA still has a lot of flaws to make up.
3. Restrict foreign aid and refuse naturalization: In the early years, many fans and even media people advocated that the Chinese men's basketball team follow the men's football team to implement the naturalization system in order to improve our strength in a short period of time. But Yao Ming insisted on not naturalizing, and even American Chinese like Jeremy Lin did not have the opportunity to join the Chinese men's basketball team. The CBA's foreign aid has also been limited to varying degrees, and such a decision naturally cuts off some people's financial paths and cuts off people's money, so that they are crazy with rhythm.
I think that Chairman Yao Ming's idea is not to focus on the current achievements, but to fundamentally improve the overall environment of Chinese basketball, if Chinese basketball is a chain, Yao Ming is repairing the gap of each chain link, so that the entire chain is more solid, after all, consolidating the foundation can go long. But the fans want him to ignore the gap in front of him and directly maximize the final chain link, which is what we often call consequentialism.
Promoting small basketball and rejecting naturalization is the right route
I personally think that Yao Ming's real credit is to promote "small basketball", to be honest, I think it is very incredible that small basketball can be pushed down, because the threshold of basketball height will not be friendly to young children, in fact, this should be a huge advantage of football, but now it is occupied by basketball first. Because basketball does have some innate conditions to go down, it can be pushed forward so smoothly, indicating that the foundation of the masses itself is far better than imagined. Let more children contact basketball, develop campus basketball, and let basketball blossom and bear more fruits in the folk, which is the long-term solution to develop basketball and promote basketball.
Unfortunately, many people stare at the results of the national team, delusional to change a basketball association chairman can instantly improve the level of men's basketball, they think that as long as the national team results are good enough, basketball in China's folk popularization they do not care at all, they do not care whether the child has a game to play? Are you getting good training conditions? Is there a stable upward channel in the future?
As everyone knows, talent training is the fundamental change in China's basketball level, whether it is naturalization or the introduction of foreign aid, which chairman of these methods of rapidly improving the level of the league and the level of the national team cannot do? This only depends on whether they want to do it or not, but it can fundamentally change the situation of Chinese basketball is something that many people dare not think about and dare not do, after all, this will move a lot of people's cheese, and it will make him encounter the strongest resistance.
In addition to campus basketball, there is also a foreign aid policy, and the expansion of foreign aid and the planned route of football are directly proven wrong. The blind pursuit of more or high-level foreign aid has caused a phenomenon similar to dumping, compressing the living space and employment opportunities of local players. Only if both paths are taken correctly will our league continue to absorb and pull talent training. Thanks to Yao Ming and some basketball people of insight, basketball did not go down that road!
The CBA reform is remarkable, and school basketball gives parents hope
Let's talk about Dayao's contribution to the CBA League, one of the most beautiful things he did was to promote the college player draft (there were also before but no one cared at all, and the club went through the motions). To tell the truth that many fans do not know, in Yao Ming's first year as president of the Basketball Association (2017), a total of 50 people participated in the draft that year, and only 11 players were selected, which created a history of the largest number of people selected and participating.
In the following years, youth players are no longer the only choice, more and more college players have joined the CBA, Yao Ming let everyone know that it is possible to take the road of campus basketball, and know that the original youth training system also has a lot of mixed players in it.
Campus sports is the trend of the times, especially in China, a country that attaches great importance to academic qualifications, even if it is to go to college by sports, there is a campus atmosphere and diploma, which feels different in the general public. Referring to Yang Qian, sports students on Tsinghua is still sought after, can only say that the environment is so, so simply rely on youth training is doomed to no way out, football has completely proved this truth, the combination of sports and education, campus sports, in order to save Chinese sports, the ideal situation is to copy the NCAA of the United States.
This should be of great significance to our basketball development in the future, so that more and more young people enter the CBA competition, unlike those who used to come and go in the youth training echelon of each team. Previously, there were only so many good youth training in the CBA, and the others were rotten into slag, completely depending on the sky to eat. Because the rule of development fees allows clubs to use players who come up in the draft with peace of mind, even if the draft players leave the club in the future, they can recover the cost.
In summary, we need to objectively evaluate Yao Ming, after all, he is the chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, not the CBA executives, let alone the chairman of the men's basketball team. From women's basketball to campus basketball, from small basketball to three-person basketball, he must promote at every level, consider, and make all-round overall arrangements and reforms.
I hope that fans and friends will give him more time, reform is not an overnight achievement, as long as you dare to act, dare to change, we will see results!
