introduction
On September 23, the 19th Hangzhou Asian Games opened grandly under the attention of everyone, and it is currently in full swing of "fierce battle".
As of 4 o'clock on the 26th, the mainland has won 40 gold medals, 21 silver medals and 9 bronze medals, a total of 70, ranking first.
However, the contribution of the men's basketball team is very little, which is embarrassing.
Once upon a time, the Chinese men's basketball team stood at the top of Asia.
But in recent years, it has frequently disappointed fans.
For the current situation of the Chinese men's basketball team, netizens believe that it is thanks to Xin Lancheng.
Described by fans as the "murderer" who caused Chinese basketball to go back 20 years, should Xin Lancheng be?
Yao Ming was "forced to helpless" and had to retire!
On the evening of August 29, basketball superstar Yi Jianlian suddenly announced his retirement on his personal social platform.
Netizens looked at it and shouted: Another era is over!
However, while the fans lamented, they could not help but think of another international basketball superstar - Yao Ming.
The comparison between the two is really heartbreaking.
When Yao retired in 2011, there were countless rising stars standing behind him.
For example, Yi Jianlian, Zhou Qi and Wang Zhelin and others.
However, by the time Yi Jianlian retires in 2023, there are few mainstays left of the Chinese men's basketball team.
But in addition, Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming have another big difference.
When Yi retired, he was 36 years old.
But when Yao Ming retired that year, he was only 30 years old.
Why is there such a big gap between the two, and what exactly is the reason for choosing to retire at the peak?
In fact, Yao Ming is also "forced to helpless".
As one of the few players in China who can gain a foothold in the NBA, Yao Ming was in the limelight that year.
But behind this, Yao Ming paid a "price" that ordinary people can hardly imagine.
It is reported that Yao Mingtong played a total of 8 seasons in the NBA that year.
However, during this period, Yao Ming also needs to fly back from time to time to participate in large and small competitions in China.
Even for some commercial competitions, Xin Lancheng had to let Yao Ming come back from far away to participate.
Originally, the intensity of NBA training had already made Yao Ming tired enough, plus he had to toss back and forth between the two places.
Over time, Yao's physical fitness became much worse than before.
Finally, in 2011, Yao Ming, who had been suffering from hard work, completely announced his retirement.
As Yao Ming's brilliant career slowly came to an end, Xin Lancheng gradually became the "culprit" in the mouths of fans.
But this matter alone could not make Xin Lancheng be pointed out by Wanfu.
Let Wang Zhizhi "have no ball to play"?
If there is the most "pitiful" person when Xin Lancheng is in charge of the Chinese men's basketball team, it is definitely Wang Zhizhi.
As the predecessor of Yi Jianlian and Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi in the early years was called the banner of the Chinese men's basketball team by fans.
He was also the first player in Asian history to reach the NBA.
However, even so, Wang Zhizhi was inevitably "expelled" by the Chinese Basketball Association.
That year, Wang Zhizhi was selected by the NBA Mavericks.
At that time, Wang Zhizhi became the envy of thousands of basketball people and became the pride of the Chinese men's basketball team.
But Wang Zhizhi, who was immersed in joy at this time, never imagined that his career was almost monopolized because of this.
After arriving in the United States, Wang Zhizhi tried his best to train and play, trying to pave the way for future generations to understand the NBA.
But Nike's NBA masters are like clouds, and it is difficult for Wang Zhizhi to make a splash no matter how hard he works.
At this time, Wang Zhizhi was like an ant on a hot pot, but even so, Xin Lancheng still "did not let go" him.
It is reported that the Chinese Basketball Association has always had such a regulation.
That is, players who go abroad to play still have to participate in domestic competitions on demand.
Therefore, both Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi must obey the regulations.
But as the saying goes, "Rules are dead, people are alive." ”
It was rumored on the Internet that when he heard the summoning, Wang Zhizhi's visa was about to expire.
In addition, his performance in the NBA has been mediocre, so he will probably not go back.
So after thinking twice, Wang Zhizhi did not choose to return to China.
There was no doubt that shortly thereafter, the Chinese Basketball Association issued a statement removing Wang Zhizhi.
After hearing the wind, the NBA did not dare to reuse Wang Zhizhi.
After all, no one wants to "make trouble".
In this way, Wang Zhizhi, the godfather of a generation of basketball, once fell into the dilemma of "no ball to play".
This also made Xin Lancheng a "villain" in the mouth of netizens.
However, there is another version of Wang Zhizhi's story.
That is, after the others arrived in the United States, there was no news, and the people of the basketball association could not contact him.
Therefore, the basketball association imposed a slight "sanction" on him.
Today, we don't know what is true or false, and in the end we only lament.
Although the above two incidents of Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi have made Xin Lancheng controversial.
But just that, it is not possible for Xin Lancheng to "voluntarily abdicate".
Should it be?
The reason why fans say that Xinlancheng set back Chinese basketball for twenty years is by no means just based on words, but "evidence".
It was Wang Zhizhi who chose to stay in the United States and did not return to China to participate in the Asian Championship, and the record of the Chinese men's basketball team plummeted.
Immediately, Xin Lancheng took the initiative to hand over the rights in his hands.
But soon after, in 2009, he returned to power.
In 2008, it was known as the peak of the Chinese men's basketball team.
I thought that the Chinese men's basketball team would go to the top of the world from now on, but I didn't want the next London Olympics to be miserable.
However, this is not the "shame" of the Chinese men's basketball team.
It was in the final quarterfinals of the 2013 Asian Championships in the Philippines, when the Chinese men's basketball team lost to Taipei 78-96.
The national team lost to the provincial team, which was simply a "great shame" in the eyes of fans.
And all this is under the leadership of Xin Lancheng.
Fortunately, Yao replaced him shortly after he retired.
Now we return to the original question where fans called Xinlan "sinners".
Is this really supposed to be?
Of course not.
"If you haven't walked someone else's path, don't give it lightly."
As a third party, we cannot generalize.
First of all, Xin Lancheng can sit in that position definitely has his ability.
Second, he reformed the CBA format as soon as he took office.
His efforts are all to promote the development of the Chinese men's basketball team.
Therefore, we cannot easily deny Xinlancheng entirely.
Today, the Chinese Basketball Association is "led together" by Yao Ming and Xin Lancheng.
I hope that under the leadership of the two of them, the Chinese men's basketball team can create brilliant again!
epilogue
The Chinese men's basketball team used to be like a wolf, brave and invincible.
Nowadays, it seems to be a little less confident.
But we firmly believe that as long as the Chinese men's basketball team regains confidence, it will definitely return to the top.
Finally, it is hoped that the Chinese men's basketball team can shine in the Asian Games.
What are the different views on the men's basketball team and Xinlancheng?
