It was another year of the Olympic Games, but unfortunately the Chinese men's basketball team did not have the opportunity to appear in the Olympic Games because of unsatisfactory results.
In the vast starry sky of basketball, the flickering of every star carries the expectations and reveries of countless fans. When we talk about the name Yi Jianlian, it is not only a player's code name, but also a memory and symbol of an era of Chinese basketball. Recently, a news about Yi Jianlian has caused a lot of waves in the basketball circle - his wife and children have settled United States, and his two sons have joined United States nationality, and he himself seems to be closely connected with the rumors of "naturalized United States".
In the case of Yao Ming, the chairman of the Basketball Association, who is not working hard, the outside world's call for Yi Jianlian to join the Basketball Association was originally very high. After all, compared with Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian is more pragmatic and takes his work more seriously, unlike Yao Ming, who completely takes the route of a star. But all kinds of signs show that Yi Jianlian and the chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association are destined to be inseparable.
We can actually understand that. As a father, Yi Jianlian undoubtedly wants to provide the best environment for his children to grow up. United States education system, sports resources and cultural atmosphere are undoubtedly a huge attraction for children who are eager to make achievements in basketball. Yi Jianlian chose to let his wife and children settle in United States and let his two sons join the United States nationality, which is behind the expectation of infinite possibilities for his children in the future, and also his deep love and responsibility as a father.
Such a decision, for Yi Jianlian personally, also means a shift in the focus of life. He will devote himself more to his family, accompany the growth of his children, and witness every progress and breakthrough they make in a foreign country. Although this choice makes many fans feel sorry, it also reflects Yi Jianlian's side as an ordinary person, and he also has the desire and pursuit of family happiness.
As a legend of the CBA, Yi Jianlian not only has a brilliant record on the court, but also has established a high prestige in the hearts of fans. But after retiring, Yi Jianlian did not join the work of the Basketball Association like Yao Ming, and this decision undoubtedly surprised and puzzled many people. But if we taste it, it's not hard to find why. On the one hand, the family's focus has shifted to the United States, and if he becomes the president of the Basketball Association, he will face the dilemma of being away from his family for a long time; On the other hand, although Yi Jianlian has rich experience and outstanding achievements in the field of basketball, the work of the basketball association is far more complex than imagined, and it requires a lot of time and energy to deal with various challenges. For Yi Jianlian, who has entered the twilight of his career, this may not be the path he wants to take the most.
Yi Jianlian's refusal is not a betrayal of Chinese basketball, but a respect for his true inner thoughts. He knows his strengths and weaknesses and what he really wants. On the basketball court, he has written his legend with sweat and hard work; In the second half of his life, he wants to focus on his family and enjoy the time he spends with his family.
In addition, Yi Jianlian's rejection also provides us with a topic worth pondering: how should we find a balance between basketball career and personal life? It's an unavoidable question for every professional footballer. And Yi Jianlian's choice may be able to provide us with some inspiration - while pursuing the dream of basketball, we should also pay attention to our inner world and family happiness.
In addition to sighing, we should send our most sincere blessings to Yi Jianlian. No matter where he is and no matter what path he chooses in the future, he will be an indispensable part of the history of Chinese basketball. His brilliant achievements, his perseverance, his family values...... It will always be engraved in the hearts of every basketball fan. At the same time, we should also see that the future of Chinese basketball is still full of hope. Although we are facing many challenges and difficulties, as long as we can unite and work together, we will be able to usher in a better tomorrow. Let's look forward to the emergence of more outstanding players and leaders like Yi Jianlian in Chinese basketball in the coming days to jointly write a new chapter in Chinese basketball!
