Recently, the league is in the off-season, and various teams are busy renewing players and strengthening teams. The dynamics of Guangdong's meritorious veteran Yi Jianlian have always been the focus of the media, and just recently, Yi Jianlian was invited to participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony of Nike's Shanghai Greater China headquarters. In fact, it was a ribbon-cutting ceremony for the completion of Yi Jianlian's own building, and it was Nike, the partner of the UAE, who built a building in Shanghai and named it "Yi Jianlian Building".
Nike and Yi Jianlian have been working together for many years, and the cooperation between the two sides has been very successful. The new building named after Yi Jianlian is also because of Yi Jianlian's influence in China's basketball industry, and it is also Nike's recognition of the UAE's contribution to China's basketball industry. Nike also has a building in the United States named after James. As the current big brother of the Chinese men's basketball team and the current role model for Chinese basketball players, Yi Jianlian is fully qualified to accept such an honor from Nike.
Whether the UAE will retire next season has always been a concern for everyone, and recently the UAE revealed in an interview with reporters that it has no plans to retire next season and continue to play for Guangdong Hongyuan and play in the CBA. The role of the UAE in Guangdong is no longer limited to the statistics on the field, but the spiritual leader of the Guangdong team. It is also very happy for the majority of fans to see the UAE continue to play on the field, if the UAE retires, Guangdong's home stadium will at least lack a large number of fans.
Moreover, at present, the UAE has many endorsements for commercial activities, and it is not the time to retire. And with the current state of the UAE, it is completely possible to continue playing, although it lacks explosiveness and speed. The Guangdong team's current interior players have not yet played, and the inside team also needs the UAE League. Next season, I hope that the UAE can continue to have stable performance, and I hope that Guangdong Hongyuan can play better results.
