Chapter 226: The Great Siege
In this game, Ruan Erniu once again unsurprisingly got a big triple-double, 35 points, 21 rebounds, and 11 assists. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
Da Yao also scored 32 points, 15 boards, and 3 assists in this game, but he played poorly in the last quarter and only scored 4 points, and was unfortunately reversed by the Hawks at home.
On the surface, this is just a wonderful Celestial Empire derby, but in fact, through this game, Er Niu and Da Yao have privately determined the ranking of the two in the national team.
There is a saying in the Celestial Empire: "A snake does not walk without a head, and a bird does not fly without a head!"
In the position of the leader of the men's basketball team, the current chairman of the Basketball Association did not express his opinion, so the private gentleman's agreement between Da Yao and Er Niu is quite important.
Through this match, the two reached a tacit understanding in fact. Basketball, like other competitive sports, is a sport where the strong man is king. Erniu's triple-double at least proves that in direct confrontation, his dominance is superior to Da Yao.
After the game, the Hawks spend the day in Houston before flying back to Atlanta to play their home game.
So, Da Yao stopped Erniu and invited him to go to Yao's restaurant for a light meal at noon tomorrow.
Anyway, there was no urgency, and Erniu was naturally happy to go.
In fact, Yao Restaurant does not have a penny of Yao Ming's shares, and the shareholder of this restaurant is his father, Yao Zhiyuan, of course, he also did not let Yao's father pay money, he is just named.
Of course, because of Da Yao's relationship, this place has become his private club, often inviting some celebrities to dine, and at the same time bringing popularity to the restaurant.
"Erniu, this way!" Da Yao's figure was too tall, no matter where he was, he was the focus of the crowd.
Ruan Erniu was taken to the private room, and today Da Yao brought his wife Ye Li over.
Ye Li is also a national player in women's basketball, but she was plagued by injuries like Da Yao, and finally officially retired last year, and she immediately registered her marriage with her boyfriend Yao Ming, who had been in love for many years, and the golden boy and girl in the sports world finally tied the knot.
Ye Li in life is a very assertive woman, and Da Yao has to listen to his wife many times.
As soon as Ruan Erniu entered the private room, Ye Li took the first step to say hello: "Erniu, hello, I'm Yao Ming's wife Ye Li!"
Ye Li took the initiative to shake hands with Erniu, and a thick women's wind rushed towards her.
Erniu was a little shy, just clasped his hand slightly, and quickly nodded: "Hello sister-in-law, I'm Ruan Erniu." ā
All three are people in the sports circle, so naturally there is no lack of common language.
Sports bureaus have their own rules, but some things don't change.
Strictly speaking, the development of Erniu and Da Yao and the national system of the Celestial Empire are interdependent, but after coming to the United States, they were able to achieve such excellent results, in the final analysis, it was their own quality and hard work.
Compared with Ah Lian's stuffy gourd, Er Niu is obviously much more cheerful, and he chatted with Yao Ye and the others quite speculatively.
Ye Li said: "Erniu, as a sister-in-law, sometimes I really envy you for being able to participate in the Imperial Capital Olympics, but I don't even have enough tickets for the Doha Asian Games." ā
Sister-in-law Yao's words are not without sadness, she is an independent woman, although her husband is a famous figure in the sports world, but she herself is not completely dependent on Yao Ming, she also has her own independent personality and career.
If there are any major regrets in her career, it is that she retired due to injury and failed to catch up with the Olympics.
I don't have a professional athlete's background, so it's hard to understand the emotion. These guys, who grew up in a difficult environment since childhood, are always constantly instilled with the idea of winning glory for the country and embodying their personal values.
In the final analysis, how can Erniu not be like this,
Even if he can't continue his gymnastics career, he still can't let go of his Olympic dream, coupled with his love for basketball, he has come to this day without hesitation.
In the eyes of others, it is definitely inspirational and legendary, but for Ruan Erniu himself, it is just that he is unwilling to give up the pursuit of ideals.
"Sister-in-law, don't worry, Brother Yao and I will definitely strive to achieve good results in the Olympic Games. Ruan Erniu toasted Ye Li with tea instead of wine.
The three of them talked happily, and they were all basketball players, so they naturally talked about the domestic basketball environment.
Ruan Erniu asked curiously: "I have limited contact with the basketball circle in China, Brother Yao, how do you say the development of basketball in the Celestial Empire is now?"
Da Yao dragged his chin, thought about it and said, "If you are just at the level of the club, there should be improvement." But when it comes to the skill level of the players, I think it's a downward trend. ā
Erniu was puzzled and asked: "Why is this? Isn't the increase in the level of clubs the regularization of the league? Why is the level of athletes declining?"
Da Yao shook his head and said: "Because the team is eager for quick success, they only think about introducing good foreign aid to quickly improve the level of the team, and the excavation and training of local players are obviously declining." ā
Ruan Erniu said with a smile: "Isn't this similar to the NBA situation? The skills of local players are getting rougher and rougher, and many of the players with solid skills are international players." ā
Da Yao shook his head and said: "But the overall basketball level of the United States is there, and they have talents who can compete with international players, but we ......."
Erniu stopped laughing, he understood that freezing three feet was not a day's cold, and if it continued to develop like this, there would definitely be problems.
Ruan Erniu asked tentatively: "The leaders of the Basketball Association have no countermeasures?"
Da Yao smiled bitterly: "Leaders, most of them don't know how to play ball, but Chairman Li is still relatively reliable." But who is not afraid of the death of the people? What will happen if the policy of professionalizing the league changes in the future? Is it back to the track of the past, which does not attach importance to the league and only cares about youth training?
But the youth training of the Celestial Empire is not a grading system for leagues of all ages like the United States. Do you still need me to say more about my favorite trick above? Just two words -- intensive training!"
Ruan Erniu immediately understood what Da Yao meant, Chairman Li's term of office is coming, and the development of the men's basketball team is about to encounter a bottleneck.
Professionalism will inevitably sacrifice the previous national selection system, and the Celestial Empire does not have a supporting commercial system to support basketball leagues at all levels, so as to select talents.
Without the bottom-up training system of the United States, whether it is the former national system or the so-called acceleration of the professionalization of the league, it is rootless and may be overthrown at any time.
This leader can pay attention to the construction of the league, and the next leader can focus on youth training.
Without systematic training grading and system construction, in the great environment of the Celestial Empire, only luck can give birth to a genius like Da Yao.
Ruan Erniu is of course also a genius, but he has obviously gone beyond the simple definition of the word genius. For Celestial Basketball, it is certainly a great fortune, but good luck will not always patronize those who do not want to make progress.
Da Yao said: "After coming to the United States, I realized that the gap between us and the basketball power is completely all-round. The development of the league is very important, but more important is the training system and capital operation of youth leagues at all levels. In this regard, we are far behind.
Da Yao is not wrong at all, the influence of the NCAA Finals in the whole meter is much higher than that of the NBA Finals.
Don't think that the youth league is simply a sponsorship, it also needs the power of capital operation.
However, Er Niu couldn't fully agree with Da Yao's words, he concluded: "Brother Yao, in fact, you also missed one thing, the academic pressure of young people in the Celestial Empire is also one of the reasons why they stay away from basketball, most people are forced to study hard and take the college entrance examination, right?"
Da Yao stopped talking, wasn't he almost forced by Yao's mother to go to school to continue his studies?
Pity the hearts of the parents in the world, but this is almost the siege of all the people of the Celestial Empire! )
