It was revealed that Gong Xiaobin or the former president of the basketball association
On September 9, Beijing time, according to the media, a list of candidates for the new president of the Chinese Basketball Association was exposed at a sports forum, with a total of seven candidates, namely Liu Yudong, Gong Xiaobin, Wang Zhizhi, Zhu Fangyu, Guo Shiqiang, Wang Shipeng and Jiang Xingquan. Although the accuracy of the list has not been confirmed officially, it has attracted widespread attention from basketball fans and the media. The seven candidates are veterans of Chinese basketball with deep knowledge and rich experience in Chinese basketball, among which Gong Xiaobin was elected as the new president of the basketball association, and the current position of president of the Chinese basketball association is Yao Ming, who officially took office in 2017. Under the leadership of Yao Ming, Chinese basketball has undergone positive changes, and basketball has received more support and attention in China.
However, the competitive level of the Chinese men's basketball team has not improved significantly, and it has not qualified for the Olympic Games. Chinese basketball still faces a series of challenges that need to be continuously developed and improved. According to public information, the position of president of the Chinese Basketball Association is elected every four years, and the last election was in 2021. Therefore, the next presidential election will be held in 2025. Over the next year or so, these candidates will be evaluated and tested by basketball fans and the Chinese Basketball Association. The leadership of the new chairman will have a profound impact on the future of Chinese basketball, and the exposure of this shortlist has sparked widespread attention and discussion.
Du Feng insinuated Zhao Jiwei
On September 8, Beijing time, the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team in the recent men's basketball World Cup caused extensive discussion and controversy, and former Chinese men's basketball head coach Du Feng became the focus of public opinion because of his different evaluations of Zhao Jiwei and Hu Mingxuan. This sparked criticism from fans and the media accusing him of double standards. Du Feng, as a guest commentator on a live broadcast platform, explained the game of the Chinese men's basketball team. When Zhao Jiwei faced the opponent's attack in the game, Du Feng said that Zhao Jiwei's defense has problems, especially in the men's basketball world preliminary tournament, and now in the face of stronger opponents, Zhao Jiwei's defense problems are more pronounced. When Guangdong men's basketball player Hu Mingxuan encountered a similar situation, Du Feng said that Hu Mingxuan had performed well, and he could only blame his opponent for his strong personal strength and difficulty in defense.
Some media people said that commentators should be neutral, not influenced by personal emotions or prejudices, but should focus on analyzing and commenting on the performance of the competition. This helps ensure that viewers receive unbiased information and are not swayed by subjective factors. Athletes perform differently in competition, and everyone can be good or bad. When evaluating their performance, we should take into account the specifics of the game and the strength of the opponent. In controversy, we can learn from it and promote fairness and impartiality in sports commentary to ensure that sporting events continue to enjoy public trust and support. This is also the core issue that we should focus on.
Marchand raises salary by 20%
Marchand has confirmed that he will continue to play for the Guangdong men's basketball team in the new season, and according to the CBA foreign aid renewal rules, the Guangdong men's basketball team has the priority to sign Marchand, and the salary of the new contract will be increased by 20%. That means other teams can't poach him even if they offer a high salary. Last season, Marchand suffered a serious injury to a ruptured Achilles tendon, but he managed to return to the pitch and showed excellent performances. He averaged 26.7 minutes per game and contributed 23.6 points, 6.5 rebounds, 5.6 assists and 1.2 steals. This shows that Marchand's efficiency is still very high. If he averages more than 30 minutes per game, it shouldn't be difficult to contribute more than 25 points per game. It was also his high level of performance that he responded to doubts about his return due to injury.
Despite Marchand's impressive stats, some fans believe his ability to tackle strong teams and tackle tough positions has declined. However, some media people believe that this view is inaccurate. The reason why Ma Shang gives people this feeling is mainly because the internal strength of the Guangdong men's basketball team is relatively weak. Other teams tend to focus their defense on the outside of the Guangdong men's basketball team because they have limited inside support. As long as the opponent limits the outside of the Guangdong men's basketball team, it can effectively limit their offensive firepower. Therefore, as the main outside scorer of the Guangdong men's basketball team, Marchand will naturally become the defensive focus of the opponent. But if there are stronger players on the inside to provide support and share the pressure, it will be easier for Marchand to bring out his full strength. The arrival of Zhou Qi in the new season is expected to improve this situation.
