Knowing that his strength is declining, he can't fight for his country
Yi Jianlian officially announced his retirement, the professional player who was once known as "the first person in Chinese basketball" ended his 21-year basketball career, recalling his achievements, countless people felt sorry for it, and his career also left us with many highlight moments.
Whether it was the moment in the 2019 World Cup, the dunk Anthony, the hard-top Gasol, or the 2007 NBA draft, Yi Jianlian was successfully selected by the Chicago Bulls with the 6th pick.
At that time, it was widely believed that he would be the best Chinese basketball player after Yao Ming, but it backfired.
In the end, Yi Jianlian didn't have much success in the NBA. This "beginning" instead became the "end" of his career, leaving only endless regrets for the Chinese people.
Yi Jianlian, who is now 36 years old, chose to retire, and Zhu Fangyu, general manager of the Guangzhou men's basketball team, once told the real reason for Yi Jianlian's retirement in the live broadcast room.
Yi Jianlian responded to the reason for his retirement
The decline in physical condition and the fact that he has aged have prevented him from performing at his fullest level in the national team, and now that he is facing the fresh blood of some basketball players, he knows that it is time for him to step down and make way for Xian.
He knows very well that if he continues to persevere, there seems to be no support, and basically any profession requires a lot of physical strength and energy, so Yi Jianlian chose to leave considering his personal performance in the national team, which is a responsible approach.
Yi Jianlian also thanked his family for their support and companionship over the years, he has always felt very lucky, because his whole experience in the basketball world and the opportunities he has been exposed to are very rare, and he has given him great support in his career to quit the professional arena, Yi Jianlian has been understood by his family, which is also an important reason for his retirement.
In addition, Yi Jianlian, as an iconic player of the Chinese men's basketball team, has left a deep impression on the fans with his outstanding performance and key goals in the CBA league. Because of this, the news of Yi Jianlian's retirement has aroused widespread attention from all walks of life. He hopes that after retiring, he can cultivate the younger generation and contribute to the cause of Chinese basketball. This is part of the reason why he continued to work after retiring.
It should be noted that Yi Jianlian's fans and the majority of fans expressed a high degree of understanding and support for his retirement decision. As he himself said: "I will not disappear, on the contrary, I will continue to contribute to the development of Chinese basketball." He received the blessings of his fans and friends. We should all respect his choice and wish him all the best in his future life!
Does the Guangdong men's basketball team need Yi Jianlian?
Yi Jianlian has been a key player for the Guangdong team for the past 20 seasons, and he has led the team to win 11 CBA championships and create countless glory.
After experiencing a serious injury such as an Achilles tendon rupture, Yi Jianlian's state and mentality have changed. He is not as relaxed and comfortable on the pitch as he used to be, admitting that he admires the fitness of the young players. This recognition of his own strength also gave him the idea of retiring.
Still, I think the Guangdong team still needs Yi Jianlian's presence at the moment. First of all, as a veteran basketball player, he has a lot of experience and excellent skills. He can play an important role in both offense and defense and is an indispensable member of the team. In addition, Yi Jianlian is a natural leader, who can always stand up to inspire and lead the team at critical times.
In addition, even taking into account Yi Jianlian's age, his performance in recent seasons has been very stable and has good statistics. Especially after a serious injury, he returned tenaciously and proved his quality and fighting spirit, which also earned the respect of his teammates. So, I think he's fully capable of playing for another year.
Of course, from Yi Jianlian's personal point of view, it is normal to choose to retire. In a 21-year career, he has done what a player should do. Now he is involved in a number of other investments and ventures, and no longer has to play for a living and honor. This choice to retreat safely is also emotionally understandable.
According to reports, the Guangdong team has a very respectful attitude towards Yi Jianlian, and the team will welcome him back as long as he is willing to continue playing. This fully illustrates Yi Jianlian's status and influence in the Guangdong team.
I hope everyone can respect Yi Jianlian's personal choice, as one of the pioneers of Chinese basketball, he has given too much and deserves to enjoy the life he wants. I would also like to express my heartfelt thanks to Yi Jianlian for the wonderful and touching he has brought us. No matter what he chooses in the end, he deserves our understanding and blessing.
Zhu Fangyu revealed the reason for Yi Jianlian's retirement in the live broadcast
In a live broadcast, Zhu Fangyu, general manager of the Guangdong men's basketball team, spoke openly about Yi Jianlian's recent retirement decision and explained the real reasons behind it. According to Zhu Fangyu, Yi Jianlian's retirement from the professional arena this time was not due to his dissatisfaction with the team or other external factors, but due to physical health problems and serious injuries.
According to Zhu, the UAE has experienced a number of serious injuries during his career, including a tendon tear operation in a key area. These experiences have severely affected his level of competition and prevented him from performing at his best on the field. In addition, as he got older, he also faced increasing physical pressure, a situation that forced him to make difficult retirement decisions.
For the UAE, this retirement is not the end, but a new beginning. Zhu Fangyu said that he has been actively looking for suitable new roles to help and support Yi Jianlian, and has tried his best to provide the necessary support and resources to ensure that the UAE can continue to maintain its health and development in the future.
Although Yi Jianlian's departure has had a certain impact on the Guangdong team, Zhu Fangyu firmly believes that the team has the ability to overcome this challenge. He believes that the team is very strong, with a group of energetic young people who are growing, and I believe that they can take over the baton from their predecessors and lead us to more glory on the field. Zhu Fangyu stressed that she will go all out and do her best to win the victory.
Zhu's words made people sigh again about the superstar's professionalism and loyalty. He was one of the core members of the Chinese men's basketball team and won numerous honors for China. Although his departure was regrettable, he always maintained a dedicated attitude and approached every game with enthusiasm and focus.
epilogue
Yi Jianlian's decision-making also allows people to see the importance he attaches to his own health and rational consideration of personal development. In his eyes, only health is the most important wealth. He knew that his physical condition and technical ability were no longer up to the top level, so he made a wise choice.
Yi Jianlian's retirement is not the result of whim or external interference, but out of the protection of his physical and mental health and the need for future development planning. On and off the pitch, he will continue to play an exemplary role as he continues to lead a new generation of athletes to greater heights. We should respect his decision and expect him to create more wonderful performances in the next phase of his life.
