Although after Yao Ming became the president of the Chinese Basketball Association, he has been vigorously promoting the development of the CBA League, but the development path of the professional league is after all full of twists and turns, and the brand influence of the CBA League is not enough to compare with the NBA level, especially in terms of advertising sponsorship and live broadcast revenue, the CBA and the NBA are more than one magnitude worse, and the income gap is the most intuitive embodiment of the difference in annual salaries between players, and even the lowest players in the NBA have an annual salary of more than one million DOLLARs But in the CBA, players with annual salaries of less than one million yuan abound, so many players even give up the opportunity to enter the professional arena in order to earn higher incomes, and become a grassroots basketball player.
Due to the people's love for basketball in coastal areas, many cities and even villages will hold basketball games from time to time, and these events are basically based on the country's outstanding grassroots basketball players, so with the expansion of the market, the income of many grassroots basketball players is getting higher and higher, and even the grassroots basketball players at the top of the individual pyramids have an annual income that far exceeds most CBA players
Last summer, Zhong Xianchao, who is known as The Jeremy Lin of Foshan, gave up last year's CBA draft in order to participate in the village-level league in Jinzhai Village, many people do not understand this very much, but in fact, these players in the grassroots game, the income of a single game is also very considerable, like Chen Jianghua, Sun Mingming, such as former professional players, basically a single game of appearance fee between 10,000 and 50,000, and the intensity of the village-level game is not too high, these players can often play two or three games a day, so that, Earning tens of thousands of dollars a day is not a dream.
Don't think how high the income of entering the professional circle is, Yi Jianlian's 20 million annual salary is rare in the CBA arena, and the annual salary of last year's CBA draft was only 500,000, which was far less than these grassroots players. Of course, the income difference between grassroots players is also very large, in addition to some with professional backgrounds or foreign aid, the income of a single game is more than tens of thousands of yuan, like Zhang Ning, Iron Bull Zhang Honglin and other level players, their appearance fees may be around 2000 to 5000, after all, from the perspective of fame, compared to those professional players, but according to their strength, if they really enter the professional circle, the income may not be as high as their income in grassroots major events.
However, for the younger generation of players, the opportunity to enter the professional arena, or should try their best to fight, after all, professional games, whether from the organization of the event to daily training, should be more standardized, and the exposure of professional games is higher, which is conducive to players to obtain higher popularity, in other words, even if they really only want to make money on the field, then first enter the professional league, play a certain reputation, and then turn to the grassroots field, and the income from the appearance fee will be much higher, so in the eyes of many fans, Whether it is Zhong Xianchao, Zhang Ning or Zhang Honglin, Yang Zheng and others, there is a chance to enter the professional league, or we must try our best to fight, after all, invest in ourselves, in order to usher in greater returns in the future.
