When Zhou Qi lifted the table a year ago, everyone was scolding Xinjiang and the Basketball Association and Yao Ming.
Now when Xinjiang lifts the table, everyone is scolding Zhou Qi, the basketball association, and Yao Ming.
After Xinjiang overturned the table, Zhou Qi responded strongly. Judging from Zhou Qi's statement (a statement with a typo, it does not look like a brokerage company ghostwriting) and the relevant evidence posted, it is likely that Zhou Qi did have some evidence unfavorable to Xinjiang in the matter of Zhou Qi and Xinjiang tearing. It cannot be ruled out that the basketball association punished Xinjiang through the evidence in Zhou Qi's hands.
But in the matter of Xinjiang and Zhou Qi's tearing, Xinjiang did not do wrong; They forced Zhou Qi to comply with the CBA's existing charter. As for whether the enterprises that pay Zhou Qi's salary are "mixed subjects", the Chinese Basketball Association has no right to adjudicate this matter. What's more, the Xinjiang team has been doing this for several years, and the basketball association has long known it; If the basketball association does not agree, you will stop it with "main body mixing" when you know it, or even punish the Xinjiang team at that time, and everyone can't say anything. But they have been operating like this for several years, and suddenly punished Xinjiang on the grounds of "mixed subjects" and "yin and yang contracts", and the punishment of the basketball association is simply untenable.
And as a professional athlete, and as an agent who wants to maximize the interests of the players, you can say that Zhou Qi and Sui Ran are greedy, but are they really doing wrong?
Xinjiang is too far away, the city where the 20 CBA teams are located, the closest to Urumqi, Taiyuan and Beijing Chengdu are about 2700 kilometers, and it takes 4 hours by plane (the others are even farther). And the CBA season has to go through the whole winter, and friends who have been to Xinjiang in winter should know that Urumqi often fogs in winter, and flight delays are a common thing.
Because Urumqi is the farthest away game for all CBA teams, and fog often affects the takeoff and landing of aircraft, this leads to all teams to play Urumqi's away game has to toss for a day, leaving and tossing for another day, many CBA players are unwilling to play Urumqi's away game. But players from the other 19 teams go to Xinjiang in the regular season every season with one in and one out (originally at most, it is two in and two out). But the Xinjiang team has to constantly go back and forth, Xinjiang players fly far more than other teams every season, and Xinjiang players consume far more than other teams every season.
It is precisely because it is too far away and too tossed, so under the same conditions, non-Xinjiang players do not have the willingness to take the initiative to play in Xinjiang; The Xinjiang team has recruited a lot of strong reinforcements in the past few years, relying on salaries that are three times or even 4 or 5 times that of other clubs. Including Zhou Qi, all non-Xinjiang players defected to the Xinjiang team to make money!
In the past, in Xinjiang, they earned a lot more in Xinjiang than in other places, and of course the players would not make trouble. But since the basketball association introduced a salary cap, clubs can only get 6 million before taxes (and there are only three places per team). For the same salary, Xinjiang has no attraction for domestic players. Not to mention how many endorsements there are off the field, and how much income is linked to where you play, the number of endorsements in Shanghai and in Urumqi is definitely different. So from Zhou Qi's point of view, he doesn't want to continue to play in Xinjiang.
In the past two years, Xinjiang's investment has plummeted, and they are not in a state to compete for the championship at all. A team that does not plan to compete for the championship is probably not unwilling to let Zhou Qi go. In the summer of 21, when Wang Zhelin went to Shanghai, Fujian Guang received 80 million yuan in transfer fees (80 million is enough for Fujian to operate for two or three years, I don't believe Wang Zhelin went to Shanghai, it was Sui Ran who threatened the Fujian side. Shanghai opens this price, Fujian's management will also send Wang Zhelin away if he is stunned), how can Zhou Qi get 100 million in transfer, right? And later, the more and more stiff, Zhou Qi and Xinjiang's knot is basically untied, even if a team offers Zhou Qi the same as Wang Zhelin, or slightly lower than Wang Zhelin's transfer fee, Xinjiang is likely to release people. But joining the free agent meant that both the players and the agent would be in the best interest, and Zhou Qi and Sui Ran decided to challenge the rules and succeeded.
However, since the basketball association determined that the prerequisite for the success of Zhou Qi's challenge, it should have amended the rules first and then made a ruling; But you judge Zhou Qi to succeed in the challenge, and you don't change the rules, isn't this telling everyone that the basketball association wants to open a skylight for Zhou Qi alone?
So why open the sunroof separately? Precisely because he is Zhou Qi, he is the head of the Chinese men's basketball team; What Zhou Qi is going to is precisely the Shanghai team with the closest connection with Yao Ming, is there a melon field Lixia? And this year's World Cup will directly determine whether the Chinese team can return to the Olympic stage (it is definitely no fun to lose the selection); If the men's basketball World Cup is not played well, if there are no two consecutive Olympic Games, can this group of people in the basketball association have a good life? At present, the entire sports system is investigating, and the Football Association has entered several officials; Athletics, water, rugby, table tennis are also vigorous, can the basketball association be left alone?
In Xinjiang's withdrawal announcement, many of their descriptions and wordings for Zhou Qi are actually just to disgust Zhou Qi and Sui Ran, which are petty troubles. Xinjiang Guanghui's real killing move was aimed at Yao Ming.
Xinjiang said that the company that contracts "the intermediate business of the CBA league is highly concentrated, the basketball association's coach qualification training, agent qualification certification, youth basketball events and many other businesses, as well as the CBA league's agent business and main sponsor business", discerning people know that it is Zhonghui Sports. And Zhonghui Sports is the company that Yao Ming himself founded in 04, and Yao Ming himself often cheers for Zhonghui Sports in front of the stage; Today, the CEO of Zhonghui Sports is still Yao Ming's agent Lu Hao.
On the official website of Zhonghui Sports, it can be found - "In 2018, Zhonghui Sports was authorized by the Chinese Basketball Association to carry out E-level coach training; In 2020, Zhonghui Sports was authorized by the Chinese Basketball Association to carry out D-level coach training, aiming to provide talents for the sports industry. ”
Some time ago, among the officials arrested by the Chinese Football Association, Liu Yi's crimes included outsourcing a lot of the Football Association's business to his wife's company (including replacing the business originally outsourced by the Football Association with his wife's company). An important reason why Chen Jiayuan was involved by Liu Yi is that because the business received by Liu Yi's wife company from the football association requires Chen Jiayuan's signature and approval, and Chen Jiayuan's son also cooperates with Liu Yi.
And this layer of window paper that Xinjiang broke overturned the lid between Yao Ming's Zhonghui Sports and the basketball association; When Yao Ming personally awarded the basketball association and CBA league projects to his company, this practice is not only absurd, but is there no corruption problem? It can be said that Xinjiang's withdrawal announcement completely tore up the mask of "selflessness and single-mindedness for basketball" packaged by some media people for Yao Ming!
When the Chinese Basketball Association and the Chinese Football Association have the same problems in many aspects, when Liu Yi and Chen Jiayuan join forces to eat at both ends, Yao Ming himself copied it in the basketball association alone, he is darker than Chen Jiayuan and Liu Yi; Xinjiang men's basketball team quit this fire, can not cover it, Yao Ming is dangerous!
