On November 29, Beijing time, Sun Jun, chairman of the Jilin Northeast Tiger Club and "Tiger King", accepted an in-depth interview program, talking about the pressure on jilin due to financial problems, and revealed that there was only one person in the team's foreign aid this year, that is, the budget was spent on Jones alone.
As a legendary celebrity in the history of the Jilin team, and now as the chairman of the team club, Sun Jun revealed that Jilin is the only team that does not have a company behind the 20 clubs, they rely on the title, the dividends allocated by the Basketball Association and the CBA, plus the ticket income is supported, resulting in some other operations are very difficult.
The team can get to the present by two aspects, one is the team's own tenacity, and the other is that the provincial and municipal sports bureaus have given some good policies, from training to competition have given great help, in order to stumble all the way to the present.
Due to the lack of funds, coupled with the current CBA level is getting higher and higher, the income of team members is constantly improving, the team operation is more stressful than before, coupled with the impact of the epidemic, the current capital operation will consider more, so this year did not introduce young players or drafts, and it is more difficult to fund.
Sun Jun also revealed that foreign aid is also meticulous, and foreign aid is invested in one person, so it is Jones who is chosen.
Jones is naturally Gilling's super-foreign player, averaging 37.8 points, 8.3 rebounds, 8.9 assists and 2 steals per game last season, and is the CBA top scorer. Jones' return in the second phase will undoubtedly greatly enhance the strength of the team.
As for Jilin wanting to develop, it needs enterprises with basketball feelings to join, Sun Jun said that Jilin also has good enterprises, but its boss likes basketball and is currently looking for good partners to join in.
