Speaking of Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, I believe that many fans and friends will not be strangers, they are the pride of Chinese basketball, and their careers have created their own legends whether in the CBA or the NBA. Friends who often watch the ball know that Yao Ming entered the NBA as a champion, and it is really a good time and place to play in the NBA, and Yao Ming entered the NBA when he was still a center in the era, so Yao Ming got the opportunity to break out.
In contrast, when Yi Jianlian entered the NBA, he got the 6th pick in the first round, it can be said that Yi Jianlian's physical fitness and basketball talent are really good, and fans who pay attention to Yi Jianlian know that Yi Jianlian just entered the NBA when he played a highlight moment, but unfortunately, Yi Jianlian's personality is relatively introverted, and he is not so adaptable in the NBA, and at the same time, coupled with poor luck and suffered an injury, Yi Jianlian later tossed and turned to many teams, and finally left the NBA to play in the CBA.
Just as the so-called skinny camel is bigger than the horse, the players who can land in the NBA to play, come to the CBA can really be said to be like a fish, the same is true for Yi Jianlian, leading the Guangdong team to win a number of CBA championships, Yi Jianlian has also become the façade of the CBA, since Yao Ming retired, but also become the leader of the Chinese men's basketball team, time flies like a shuttle, Yao Ming has retired for many years, and now has become the chairman of the Basketball Association.
In contrast, Yi Jianlian is not young, and now it has come to the twilight of his career, and many fans are talking about whether Yi Jianlian will return to Chinese basketball after retiring, like Yao Ming, continue to shine and contribute to Chinese basketball. Nowadays, there are various indications that the probability of Yi Jianlian returning to the basketball association after retiring is very large, because now Yi Jianlian has begun to contribute to Chinese basketball.
Everyone knows that the CBA new season is about to start, and now the major sponsors have also begun to sponsor the CBA advertising, recently the CBA sponsor held a CBA star meeting in Guangdong, the 35-year-old Yi Jianlian attended the meeting and embarked on a new position, Yi Jianlian actively cooperated with the sponsor on behalf of the CBA to promote, the 35-year-old Yi Jianlian became the sponsor's promotion ambassador, it is worth saying that the sponsor is sponsoring the CBA, not only sponsoring Yi Jianlian alone, that is to say, Yi Jianlian bid farewell to his wife and children busy, There is no salary for attending sponsors' events.
Just like Yao Ming said to the sponsor, you give the money to the CBA, my image you can still use, whether it is Yi Jianlian or Yao Ming choose to sacrifice themselves to achieve the CBA League, they all want to create a good environment for Chinese basketball, only the environment is good, in order to cultivate more excellent basketball players, Chinese basketball has hope.
Nowadays, Yao Ming has led Chinese basketball to carry out drastic reforms, and the progress has been seen by all, such as the selection and system of the CBA is becoming more and more reasonable, the level of the league is gradually improving, and the national team is also making steady progress, such as the women's basketball team has a good strength and can play against top teams.
Chinese basketball wants to develop the rapid development of Yao Ming's strength is obviously not enough, so Yi Jianlian also has a high probability of returning to Chinese basketball after retirement, Yi Jianlian has exquisite facial features, and character and popularity are very high, some fans think that Yi Jianlian may be responsible for the promotion of basketball commercial operations in the future, Yao Ming is responsible for internal management, the so-called two-pronged approach, the Chinese men's basketball team is expected to take off, everyone says it is possible
