On December 29, 2023, Yi Jianlian's jersey was honorably retired at the Dongguan Basketball Center in Guangdong, which is not only a farewell to the jersey, but I feel more like the end of an era. At that moment, I seemed to see a piece of the history of Chinese basketball slowly drawing the curtain. And behind this ceremony, there is a woman figure that I pay special attention to - she is Wu Di. Do you know that if it weren't for her insight and strong support, maybe we wouldn't be able to see today's Yi Jianlian.
Wu Di, this name may sound a little unfamiliar to some people, but she is a well-known figure in the Guangdong Hongyuan Club. As the owner of the club, she not only has a unique business vision, but also has the same love for basketball as we do. It was this kind of love that made her discover the bright pearl of Yi Jianlian at a glance in the vast sea of people.
remembers that Yi Jianlian was only 13 years old that year, but his height had already jumped to 1.94 meters, and he was simply a little giant on the basketball court. At a street basketball game in Shenzhen, his outstanding performance immediately attracted Wu Di's attention. No, this discerning Bole took a fancy to this thousand-mile horse at a glance and invited him to join Guangdong Hongyuan. And Yi Jianlian did not disappoint us, let alone let Wu Di look away, he led Guangdong Hongyuan to win the championship trophy again and again in the CBA, and also let himself gain countless honors and applause.
I have to say that Wu Di's vision is really vicious! Under her careful cultivation, Yi Jianlian, a new star, has risen and shined in the CBA arena. His comrade-in-arms Zhu Fangyu was also full of praise, and the tacit cooperation between the two of them created one brilliance after another for Guangdong Hongyuan.
In fact, Wu Di's success is not accidental, with her unique vision and firm support, she has cultivated batches of outstanding talents for Chinese basketball. It can be said that it is with managers like her and Bole that our CBA league can flourish and become the cradle of Chinese basketball.
Speaking of Yi Jianlian's retirement ceremony, it really caused an uproar on social media! Countless fans have left messages to thank him for his contribution to Chinese basketball, and at the same time expressed their heartfelt appreciation for Wu Di's Bole Eye. I think this ceremony is not only an affirmation of Yi Jianlian's career, but also a tribute to Wu Di's hard work over the years.
Under Wu Di's leadership, Guangdong Hongyuan Club has become a banner of the CBA, and her successful experience has been emulated by other clubs. It can be said that Wu Di is not only Yi Jianlian's Bole, but also the pride and gospel of our entire Chinese basketball.
Of course, Wu Di's road to success has not been smooth sailing, she has also encountered setbacks and difficulties, but she has never given up her love for basketball and care for the players, this perseverance has also won her wide respect and praise in the basketball world, I really admire her!
Although Yi Jianlian has retired now, the glory of Guangdong Hongyuan continues, which is inseparable from the leadership of Wu Di. Her team is still very competitive, and it is a feast for the eyes to bring one great game after another to our fans!
Thinking back to the process of Wu Di and Yi Jianlian's acquaintance, I have to sigh again at the wonder of fate! Think about it, the encounter between a basketball boy on the street and a club proprietress with a unique eye finally made a good story in the history of Chinese basketball, which is simply the arrangement of fate! And behind this good story, Wu Di's infinite love for basketball and selfless dedication to the players, this spirit is really moving!
Looking forward to the future, I am full of expectations and confidence in Chinese basketball, and I believe that under the leadership of Wu Di and other outstanding managers, our Chinese basketball will definitely be able to reach a higher level! At the same time, I also believe that although Yi Jianlian has retired, his influence in the basketball world will continue to be passed on, inspiring more young players to work hard for their dreams! Just like me, although I am just a melon eater, I am also moved by their stories and full of expectations for the future of Chinese basketball!
