Not long ago, it was revealed that Liu Xiaoyu will join the Bay Area Pterodactyls. If liu Xiaoyu joined the pterosaur team, then there is not much to say, after all, with the increase of age and injuries, his ability is not as good as before, and it is reasonable to be abandoned by the Beijing men's basketball team, but if you see the layout of the entire pterodactyl team, you will find that things are not simple. Why? Because since the beginning of this year, the Pterodactyls have frantically acquired 9 former CBA players, in addition to Liu Xiaoyu, there are 8 people, they are Si Kun, Zhu Songwei, Liu Chuanxing, Nicholson, Song Jianhua, Ju Mingxin, Zheng Qilong, Hui Long'er. In other words, the Bay Area Pterodactyls are frantically digging into the CBA's walls.
Supposedly, the Pterodactyls are just a newly established team in the Bay Area of Hong Kong, China, so why can they attract players who still play in the CBA? There are two main reasons.
On the one hand, because under the lure of huge interests, some CBA players can't refuse. At present, CBA teams can only get a few hundred thousand yuan in annual salaries, unless strong players can get the top salary, and some players can only get hundreds of thousands of yuan in annual salaries. For example, Zhu Songwei, it is reported that the highest annual salary that his previous team can give him is only about 600,000 yuan, but the annual salary given to him by the Pterodactyl Team can exceed 2 million yuan. The choice between $600,000 and $2 million, the result is basically only one. As a professional player, earning money is the first priority, because their career life is limited, and there is no problem in earning money for more than one year they can play. Moreover, everyone needs to live and earn money without losing money. A powerful player like Liu Chuanxing should get a higher annual salary.
On the other hand, this is because the Pterodactyls are not generic. Next season, the Pterodactyls will participate in leagues hosted by the Philippines and in the East Asian Premier League. In other words, teams compete in very high-level competitions. Players can get plenty of training on these games, maybe no less than playing on the CBA stage.
By the way, the Pterodactyls may also sign other players in the CBA. Another thing to note is that there may be some players who will play in overseas leagues. In this way, the CBA brain drain is serious! Seeing this, Yao Ming's heart should be full of mixed tastes and mixed feelings, and he was embarrassed. Players go out and get exercised, which is a good thing; The players are gone, the CBA is on the hit, and that's a bad thing.
Anyway, the CBA's competitiveness has indeed slipped!
