Speaking of Yi Jianlian, I believe that many fans and friends are no strangers, Yi Jianlian is 213cm tall, has an excellent arm span, and athletic ability is also very good, like Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian once shined in the NBA, and Yi Jianlian's draft pick is also very high, but unfortunately for some reasons Yi Jianlian did not play his own piece of the NBA.
But back in the CBA League, Yi Jianlian sits firmly in the position of a brother, Jianlian has won the CBA championship 7 times and been selected as an All-Star 14 times, which is an idol in the hearts of many fans. Yi Jianlian as a 36-year-old veteran, in the age of this area is not dominant, with the decline of physical function, the naked eye can see that Yi Jianlian's court dominance is declining, this season did not lead the Guangdong men's basketball team further, Yi Jianlian is no longer the Arab United that turned the tide, and even some fans complained that it was difficult to put the icing on the cake, so the news of Yi Jianlian's retirement was spread on the Internet.
And some media people broke the news that Yi Jianlian has decided not to participate in the preparation cycle of the Paris Olympics, which means that the time for Yi Jianlian to retire is coming, after all, the years are not spared, 36 years old is really an older age for a basketball player, although Yi Jianlian's fuel tank still has oil, but it has to be said that Yi Jianlian's era has passed, and some fans think that Yi Jianlian may play another season in Guangdong, and it is time to officially retire.
For Yi Jianlian's career is perfect enough, can land in the NBA to play, can dominate in the CBA, after Yao Ming and others retired, Yi Jianlian bravely carried the banner of the Chinese men's basketball team, and has led the Chinese men's basketball team to shine on the international arena many times, although the results of the men's basketball team are not good, but Yi Jianlian's court performance is perfect. I believe that many fans still remember the basketball World Cup held at their doorstep, the Chinese men's basketball team originally held a good signing, but unfortunately the duck flew away.
Fans who watched the live broadcast of the World Cup that year know that Allen Guo's one-point Zhou Qi's bottom line ball mistake, and then Yi Jianlian shot the last bullet, the inside line actively fought for the outside three-point projection, a person carried the Chinese men's basketball team forward, but unfortunately it was difficult to fight with two fists and four hands, and finally the Chinese men's basketball team did not have the opportunity to win the ticket to the Tokyo Olympics, and there was a lot of helplessness and unwillingness for Yi Jianlian. Now that the World Cup has started again, whether it is the previous training or the current squad, I have not seen Yi Jianlian's name, and I have to say that the probability of Yi Jianlian participating in the World Cup is not large.
Recently, coinciding with May Day, the state also awarded the May Day Labor Medal to talents who have made outstanding contributions to all walks of life, as a way to highlight their identity, while the basketball circle Yi Jianlian Medal. Now Yi Jianlian, who is temporarily away from Chinese basketball, is not idle, and recently reached a cooperation with the Chinese Basketball Association, this offseason Yi Jianlian was appointed as the promotion ambassador of campus basketball, Yi Jianlian appeared in his new position, and will soon go deep into the campus to promote Chinese basketball, calling for more children to contact basketball and participate in basketball, which can not only strengthen the physique, but also drive the development of Chinese basketball.
For many fans, it is a little reluctant to see Yi Jianlian about to retire, but competitive sports are cruel, and no great player can pass the hurdle of time, as strong as Jordan. Yi Jianlian's retirement also means that Chinese basketball has ended an era, and a new era is coming. But many fans can't help but start to worry, on the other hand, today's Zhou Qi, Guo Allen and others are obviously inferior to Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian and others in basketball talent.
Many fans complain that Chinese basketball is regressing, no superstars have appeared, no one can stand on the NBA arena, Chinese basketball is really difficult to win good results in the international arena, and finally everyone said that the men's basketball World Cup can get good results? Can you win your ticket to the Paris Olympics?
