Recently, a series of major events have occurred in the basketball industry, which have aroused widespread attention and heated discussions among fans. First of all, the superstar of the Chinese basketball team, Yi Jianlian, announced his retirement, and then Zhu Fangyu broke some inside stories about Yi Jianlian's retirement. This series of changes has led to more speculation and expectations for the future of the Chinese men's basketball team.
As a symbolic figure of Chinese basketball, Yi Jianlian's retirement has undoubtedly brought a huge shock to the Chinese basketball world. His outstanding performance and professionalism have not only won the love of many fans in China, but also demonstrated the strength of Chinese basketball on the international stage. However, the reasons for decommissioning are regrettable and doubtful.
The Guangdong men's basketball team has repeatedly blocked Yi Jianlian's decision to retire. Yi Jianlian is not only the big brother of the Chinese men's basketball team, but also the spiritual core of the Guangdong men's basketball team. Yi Jianlian's presence has given young players confidence and more engaged play. The Guangdong men's basketball team is well aware of the importance of Yi Jianlian, so it has repeatedly prevented him from retiring. However, Yi Jianlian has always maintained his longing for his family, saying on his personal social media that he has long wanted to retire, but the team has repeatedly blocked him, which allowed him to play a few more seasons. Now, he personally really wants to spend time with his family, retreating into the background, and the team can only respect his wishes in the end.
Yi Jianlian's career has gone on for 21 years, and he does feel tired. At the age of 15, Yi Jianlian was promoted to the Guangdong men's basketball team and began his personal career. In the CBA, Yi Jianlian has always been the core of the team, leading the team to win 7 championships, three Finals MVPs, and five regular season MVPs.
Throughout his career, he scored 12,781 points, becoming the second all-time scorer in CBA history, and grabbed 6,159 rebounds, becoming the CBA's all-time rebounding king. In addition, Yi Jianlian also represented the Chinese men's basketball team in the Olympic Games four times and played in the NBA for 5 years. Such frequent competitions and important roles made Yi Jianlian physically and mentally exhausted. This, combined with injuries and fatigue from a ruptured Achilles tendon in the 19-20 season finals, hastened his decision to retire. After 21 years of career, the UAE is indeed tired.
After the news of Yi Jianlian's retirement, the Chinese men's basketball team, CBA, a number of basketball media people and FIBA official media have posted articles to congratulate him. Yi Jianlian's influence can be seen. His departure means that the Chinese men's basketball team needs new players to carry the banner. At present, the most promising person to take on this heavy responsibility is Zhou Qi. He has become more and more outstanding in the CBA league and has also shown his strength on the international stage. As the hope of the Chinese men's basketball team, Zhou Qi will shoulder more responsibilities and fight for national honor.
The reason for Yi Jianlian's retirement has attracted widespread discussion and attention, and Zhu Fangyu's insider exposure has given fans more understanding. Yi Jianlian's career is full of honor and hard work, and his retirement is also the result of his choice to pursue a new life path. In any case, his contribution to Chinese basketball will always be remembered. Next, let's look forward to the rise of young players such as Zhou Qi to bring more light to the future of the Chinese men's basketball team.
Zhu Fangyu revealed in an interview that Yi Jianlian's retirement decision was related to injury issues. He said that Yi Jianlian has been struggling with injuries in the past few years and has made great efforts. However, as he grew older, injuries caused more and more trouble, which made Yi Jianlian feel the pain of not being able to continue to persevere.
The reason for Yi Jianlian's retirement has always been speculated and speculated by fans, and Zhu Fangyu's insider revelation gave the answer. First of all, the Guangdong men's basketball team has blocked the retirement of Yi Jianlian, who is not only the leader of the Chinese men's basketball team, but also the heart of the Guangdong men's basketball team. The Guangdong men's basketball team is well aware of the importance of Yi Jianlian, so it has been preventing him from retiring. However, Yi Jianlian always wanted to accompany his family and say goodbye to the basketball court, and in the end, the team could only respect his decision.
In his 21-year career, Yi Jianlian has given too much. He joined the Guangdong men's basketball team at the age of 15 and became a core figure in the team. In the CBA, Yi Jianlian led the team to win the championship 7 times and won the Finals MVP three times. He has also won five regular-season MVPs and scored 12,781 points throughout his career, making him the second-highest scoring player in CBA history. In addition, he also had 6159 rebounds, becoming the CBA's all-time rebounding king.
Yi Jianlian represented the Chinese men's basketball team in the Olympic Games four times and played in the NBA for five years. So many matches, coupled with his core position, made Yi Jianlian physically and mentally exhausted. In the 19-20 season finals, Yi Jianlian ruptured his Achilles tendon, injuries and fatigue exacerbated the pace of his retirement. After 21 years of career, Yi Jianlian is indeed tired.
And the addition of Zhou Qi means that Yi Jianlian's successor has appeared. The reason why Yi Jianlian has always insisted on not retiring is mainly due to the needs of the Guangdong men's basketball team. As a veteran, he wants to give his last shine back to the team that nurtured him. Therefore, Yi Jianlian always signs a one-year contract with the team every season, in addition to not wanting a top salary, he is still waiting for the Guangdong men's basketball team to supplement the inside.
In the offseason, the Guangdong men's basketball team reached a deal with the Xinjiang men's basketball team, and Zhou Qi joined the Guangdong men's basketball team. Seeing Zhou Qi's arrival, Yi Jianlian could finally retire with peace of mind. Next, whether it is the Guangdong men's basketball team or the Chinese men's basketball team, Zhou Qi needs to carry the banner, and Yi Jianlian completed his final baton.
Yi Jianlian's retirement not only attracted the attention of fans, but also made everyone re-recognize his importance and influence in the Chinese basketball industry. He has made great contributions to Chinese basketball in his 21-year career and has become a legend in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team and the Guangdong men's basketball team. His retirement is both a farewell to the past and a blessing for the future. I hope that Yi Jianlian can enjoy a happy life after retiring, and also expect Zhou Qi to carry the banner of the men's basketball team and continue to make more contributions to China's basketball cause.
Zhu Fangyu also broke the news that before Yi Jianlian's decision to retire, he had an in-depth exchange with Zhou Qi. As another important player of the Chinese basketball team, Zhou Qi will shoulder greater responsibilities and expectations in the future. Zhu Fangyu revealed that Yi Jianlian expressed his trust and support for his ability to carry the banner of the Chinese men's basketball team in his exchange with Zhou Qi.
Yi Jianlian's retirement laments the passage of time, and his departure marks the end of an era for the Chinese basketball team. However, retiring doesn't mean the end of his basketball career. As a legend in basketball, Yi Jianlian will continue to contribute to Chinese basketball, providing guidance and support to young players.
For the Chinese men's basketball team, Yi Jianlian's retirement is undoubtedly a huge loss. However, Zhou Qi's role as his successor is full of expectations. In the past few years, Zhou Qi has shown strong basketball strength and potential. His progress and growth make people believe that he has the ability to carry the banner of the Chinese men's basketball team and lead the team to higher honors.
The reason for Yi Jianlian's retirement and the inside story of Zhu Fangyu's revelation have aroused widespread attention. For the Chinese basketball team, the loss of retirement coexists with new opportunities. It is believed that with the rise of Zhou Qi, the Chinese men's basketball team will usher in a new chapter and once again show its strength and style. Let's wait and see!
