Basketball is one of the most popular sports in the world and attracts the attention of countless fans. In China, the CBA league and the national men's basketball team are the focus of fans' attention. Recently, there have been some interesting news and topics surrounding these two events, so let's take a look.
On the stage of the NBA and European professional basketball leagues, there are always some Chinese players flashing. They interpret the meaning of "Chinese basketball" with their outstanding performances. Recently, some inside information exposed from the American media has made domestic fans excited.
It turned out that in the 2016 and 2017 seasons, Guo Allen, the ace player of the Guangdong team at the time, was invited by the NBA team Philadelphia 76ers. At that time, Guo Allen had just become one of the top point guards, with comprehensive skills and strong dominance, and was regarded as the hope for the future of Chinese basketball. can get the favor of the NBA, which shows how outstanding his strength is.
It's a pity that Guo Allen and his agent finally chose to continue to play for the CBA at that time. If he had seized that opportunity, he might have become a popular star in the NBA today. Nowadays, although Allen Guo is already a superstar in the domestic basketball world, it is a pity that he has never won the CBA Finals and regular season MVP in his career.
However, Guo Allen is not the only player in China who has caught the attention of the NBA. Another popular star, Yang Hansen, is also optimistic about his prospects. It has been revealed that traditional powerhouses such as the New York Knicks, Chicago Bulls and Milwaukee Bucks have all looked for the 2.18-meter-tall center. Yang Hansen is undoubtedly a rare "true 7-foot" talent in China, with outstanding talent and considerable development potential.
However, Yang's current plan seems to be to make a name for himself in China first, and then consider whether to get involved in the NBA when the time comes. The idea was supported by the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, Joel Djordjevic. Undoubtedly, once Yang Hansen really joins the NBA, it will introduce a new vitality to Chinese basketball.
In the CBA league, Chinese basketball legend Yao Ming has served as the chairman of the league for many years and has made great contributions to the development and expansion of professional basketball. But just recently, he has been questioned by some critics.
The reason is that Yao Ming insisted on using a complex mathematical formula when selecting the MVP of the regular season, rather than directly judging the players based on their real performance. As a result, some balloon stars and players who do play well on the court often fail to win the MVP.
In the past season, the two main players of the Guangdong team, Hu Mingxuan and Zhao Jiwei, although they played excellent statistics in the whole 556 season, unfortunately did not enter the top three in the MVP selection. On the contrary, Abudu, who is far inferior to them, was rated as the MVP of the regular season by the formula just because his personal data was relatively ideal.
There is no doubt that the formula selection of MVPs makes people feel that fairness and authority are greatly reduced. Many people believe that Yao Ming might as well directly use the method of professional judgment, and some authoritative experts and commentators jointly select the MVP, which is fair and simple, and closer to the fans' perception.
In this regard, Yao Ming's approach may stem from his desire to eliminate the subjective bias caused by human factors through numbers, but it is clear that further optimization is needed. Judging players in the most objective and fair way, and crowning the truly good in an unbiased manner, is the key to the long-term development of a tournament.
Basketball is a sport of passion and power, both spectacle and competitive. Whether it is the CBA league or the NBA, only by continuously attracting excellent players to join and persistently optimizing the management system can the sports cause develop sustainably and create more brilliance. I believe that in the future, the Chinese men's basketball team and the CBA league will be able to withstand all kinds of tests and move forward in a more professional and standardized direction.
In short, with the emergence of generations of new stars such as Yao Ming, Guo Allen, and Yang Hansen, Chinese basketball is regaining unprecedented vitality. The NBA's preference for Chinese players, the ambitions of young people such as Yang Hansen, and the CBA's efforts to improve the management mechanism will inject new impetus into Chinese basketball and will surely bring more surprises and excitement to fans. Let's wait and see!
