Preface:
Losing to the Philippines in the World Cup, the Chinese men's basketball team completely ignited the anger of fans and the media, and scolded the CBA.
The Chinese men's basketball team has repeatedly lost games, even winning only one of five games, and because of this disastrous defeat, the Chinese Basketball Association is determined to carry out reform and change the top management.
At the same time, such an ugly result of the game, Yao Ming, as the Chinese men's basketball team and former head coach, was also pushed to the cusp, all this can be described as a "earthquake" in the CBA.
Yao
The change at the top may usher in a new turnaround
On September 6, 2023, the top management of the CBA ushered in a huge change.
On the same day, CBA's general manager Zhang Xiong retired due to age, the CEO of the knife guard known as Yao Ming left completely, and the veteran Jiang Jian took Zhang Xiong's place.
Zhang Xiong
Jiang Jian's qualifications are no less than Zhang Xiong's, as early as 2017, he served the CBA, and further back, Jiang Jian also served as the head of the CBA's third-party service company for twelve years.
Jiang Jian
If you calculate carefully, there is also a long time, which can be regarded as witnessing and experiencing the growth of CBA.
Jiang Jian also served as the head of the CBA's competition department, and after the accident of former CEO Wang Dawei, Jiang Jian took a back seat and became the chief consultant of the CBA.
In the early years, Jiang Jian watched and helped the development of CBA, and through his efforts, CBA became a business giant, with annual revenue soaring, from less than 100 million yuan in business income to 600 million yuan today.
Under the leadership of Jiang Jian, the CBA's business model has been developing steadily, without the distress of losing sponsors, which ensures the company's economic stability to a certain extent, which also guarantees the development and publicity of CBA, and provides sufficient funds for players and training investment.
CBA has today's achievements, and Jiang Jian has made certain efforts.
Now, the high-level change of the CBA, Jiang Jian has also been pushed to the current position, this change is definitely a earth-shaking change, which means that the CBA no longer implements a dual-manager system, and Jiang Jian will manage two departments alone.
On the one hand, this condenses and streamlines the management, reduces additional capital expenditure, and on the other hand, makes decision-making more integrated and complete.
Jiang Jian has created a business miracle, which may also drive the development of the Chinese men's basketball team, inject new vitality into it, and perhaps usher in new vitality.
Committed to reform, but ended up in a mess
Yao Ming, as a powerful and prestigious basketball player, returned to training after repeatedly creating brilliant games, and began to do his best to cultivate the next batch of promising men's basketball players, but unfortunately, under several years of reform, the results were not satisfactory, but repeatedly turned their backs and accepted the bombardment of fans and public opinion.
Now that the Chinese men's basketball team has not participated in the World Cup with such ugly results, Yao Ming, as the president of the Chinese Basketball Association, has naturally been put on the cusp.
After serving as the chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association in 2017, Yao Ming has been committed to reforming the Chinese men's basketball team, making painstaking efforts and multi-faceted coordination for it.
Yao Ming led the team to participate in the World Cup trials, but unfortunately, the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team was not satisfactory, and the opportunity to qualify for the Olympics was inevitably lost.
This regretful and resentful situation made Yao Ming determined to reform the Chinese men's basketball team, he invited the coach of Serbia to coach, also supported the team to go to Europe to prepare, and also introduced NBA training methods, hoping to get skills and inspiration from it to reform the men's basketball team.
But after several efforts, the effect is still not significant.
On the one hand, the media and fans blame Yao Ming, as the president of the basketball association, for his lack of systematic management ability and wrong decision-making ability, and on the other hand, they blame the players for not seeking improvement, believing that they lack the motivation to try, so that their real talent and ability are buried.
In this way, Yao Ming began another rescue plan, he invited Li Kyle in, and let him participate in this World Cup.
But even so, the Chinese men's basketball team still did not turn around against the wind. It is reported that now Yao Ming has set his sights on Clarkson, a naturalized player in the Philippines, and is working hard to fight for it.
In addition, NBA centers Javill McGee and guard Jordan Poole are also in the public opinion of naturalized players.
But even so, Yao Ming did not dare to relax the foreign aid system, for fear that domestic players would not be able to get the opportunity to play, and the CBA would not be able to send more talent to the Chinese men's basketball team.
This kind of invitation but dare not boldly let go of the initiative has also been criticized, and some netizens joked that it is better to replace the position of the twelve by foreign aid, so that the members of the Chinese men's basketball team will be active and enterprising.
Today, the CBA league or the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team are not ideal, and for a while the spearhead of public opinion was aimed at Yao Ming, believing that his ability has declined, and he only knows how to blindly imitate the training methods of other countries without seeking the development and progress of the players themselves.
As early as 2019, the Chinese men's basketball team accidentally lost to the Polish men's basketball team, missing the opportunity to advance to the Olympic Games, and after the game, the Chinese men's basketball team faced overwhelming abuse and doubts.
Under great pressure, Yao Ming took all the responsibility for the interview with red eyes, and now, looking like a failure in the past, Yao Ming had to be pulled out and back again.
After the Chinese men's basketball team was out, commentator Yang Yi was emotional, broke his mouth and cursed, even in front of the camera, still continued to output, issued a series of questions about the Chinese men's basketball team, and publicly bombarded Yao Ming, believing that Yao's four-year reform plan was all in vain, and the CBA league now does not see the slightest change.
Yang Yi
As the president of the basketball association and a former basketball superstar, Yao Ming inevitably faces a crisis of public opinion, and he used to be able to skip the level in the main venue, but now he can only accept it silently.
The players are negative, the talent is not available
Now, China's sports industry is facing the embarrassing situation of not receiving young and yellow, and many outstanding talents have long been unable to do so, but there are no players to replace.
For example, the Liaoning men's basketball team, only three main players are struggling to support, even if they can dial back a lot of points in a game, but the follow-up strength is worn out, they can only lose miserably.
In addition, some players of the Chinese men's basketball team lack a sense of collective honor, it seems that playing basketball is just a high-paying professional job, as long as it is not kicked out, it is harmless to mix and float.
Wang Shipeng once angrily criticized after the loss of the Chinese men's basketball team: "Today's young players have no sense of honor and blood, they want to coax to play, there is no sense of national honor, and now the temptation of the salary taken by the players is too great, and the national honor of young players is compared with the salary of the club." ”
These words are not wrong, I think that at the beginning, Wang Shipeng and their batch of players, with a sense of sincerity and fearlessness in their hearts, only took a few thousand yuan in salary, even if they were fractured and injured, they did not regret and looked forward to joining the blood-boiling game again after healing.
With this hot and passionate love full of national honor and team honor, they successfully won the eighth prize in the 08 Olympic Games.
On the other hand, these players are now afraid of losing this high-paying job in the CBA due to injury, and as long as there is any position transfer or seems to be wronged, their respective fans will ask for it.
A well-known commentator said: In the CBA, these players of ours are top superstars, if they suffer a little loss, there are players to protect them, and even scold the referee and the head coach.
The original "sneaking door" was severely criticized by netizens.
In 2009, the men's basketball Asian Championship was held in Tianjin, obviously the first half played smoothly, and it was expected to win the championship, but the rematch and semifinals were very difficult, and each time it was a narrow victory, very frightening. Finally, with the home court advantage and the expectations of countless fans, the Chinese men's basketball team lost to Iran and had to be the runner-up.
Infuriatingly, standing on the podium of the runner-up, they looked at each other and snickered, and a relaxed and senseless smile appeared on their faces.
The fans affirm their efforts, but this attitude of not knowing honor or disgrace and not caring about winning or losing is infuriating and chilling. Even if the latter three players were criticized and punished, it could not soothe the pain in the hearts of fans.
Enjoying supreme admiration and honor, but not being able to shoulder their responsibilities, is the sadness of some players.
Epilogue:
Whether it is the players, Yao Ming, or other CBA executives, they all need to bear the current situation, after all, it is really pitiful to be borne by Yao Ming alone.
