On March 3, Xinjiang Guanghui Basketball Club announced its official withdrawal from this season's competition and withdrawal from the CBA League, which became the focus of domestic media and fans! Later, Yao Ming, chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, responded to the withdrawal of the Xinjiang men's basketball team from the CBA league in an interview with reporters, expressing regret for the withdrawal of Xinjiang Guanghui Basketball Club from the CBA league, but respected his decision. In addition, Yao Ming also said that in the past 10 days, the Chinese Basketball Association has done a lot of work, and even flew to Xinjiang for this matter.
It is worth mentioning that although Yao Ming responded to Xinjiang Guanghui Basketball Club's withdrawal from the CBA League, he did not respond to the questions raised by the media and fans! Xinjiang Guanghui Basketball Club sharply pointed out in the "announcement" that the intermediate business of the CBA league is highly concentrated, and many businesses such as coach qualification training, agent qualification certification, youth basketball events and many other businesses of the basketball association, as well as the brokerage business and main sponsor business of the CBA league, are all undertaken by a sports management company in large quantities, or even exclusively undertaken.
According to China Newsweek, they have repeatedly confirmed to the industry that a sports management company named Zhonghui Sports mentioned in the "announcement" of Xinjiang Guanghui Basketball Club was founded in 2004, and Yao Ming is the founder of this company! It is understood that after Yao Ming became the chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, he had resigned as chairman of Zhonghui Sports and was served by agent Lu Hao. But even so, Lu Hao's appointment as Yao Ming's agent, coupled with the fact that many of the CBA league's businesses are undertaken by Zhonghui Sports, it can't help but make people question.
Finally, "China Newsweek" directly threw out 4 questions that hit the soul, Zhonghui Sports got CBA company and the Chinese Basketball Association related agency business, did this practice go through the bidding process? Is it compliant with the relevant regulations? Is it suspected of profit transfer? Is there corruption? Regrettably, Yao Ming did not explain or respond to this incident in an interview with reporters. But even so, some fans chose to believe Yao, only to be refuted by other fans: her daughter was already an American.
However, there is a theory, whether Yao Ming violated the law during his tenure as the president of the Chinese Basketball Association, and his daughter is an American nationality, and the two are not directly related! But if Yao Ming does not explain this matter clearly, it will inevitably be further questioned by the media and fans. In fact, similar situations have happened in Chinese football, such as Liu Yi, secretary general of the Chinese Football Association, outsourcing the football association's projects to his wife's company, and even cooperating with the son of a general bureau leader. Do you think Yao Ming will be the next Chen Jiayuan?
