Chapter 876: Another Target!
Listening to Chen Feng and Yu Qian's words, Xiao Meng was confused, scratched the back of his head, and asked, "That...... What are you talking about, why can't I understand?"
Yu Qian smiled and explained, "Remember when I told you that you must enter the NBA?"
"Yes. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info" nodded sharply.
"Then remember I told you that Chen Feng needs you?"
"Yes. ā
Yu Qian said: "At that time, I told you that I couldn't go into detail because it wasn't time yet, but now I can tell you." Xiao Meng listened attentively, and Yu Qian continued: "You know, Chen Feng and I both have a goal, that is, to participate in the Olympic Games and win glory for the country. But in addition, we also have a goal, that is, to drive the basketball of the whole of China and make the basketball culture deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. ā
Xiao Meng was shocked and speechless.
Chen Feng and Yu Qian have expected this reaction, after all, it is not a simple matter to "drive the entire Chinese basketball and make the basketball culture deeply rooted in the hearts of the people".
Twenty years ago, Jordan brought basketball into China, and a few years ago, Yaoming promoted basketball to the whole country, but it is not enough to say that it is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
Looking at Xiao Meng, Yu Qian's expression was serious, and he said, "In fact, our goal is more than this. ā
"What?" Xiao Meng's eyes widened, "That's not all, so what is your goal?" he was a little afraid to think about it.
"Our goal is to change the basketball system in China. Chen Feng said, "We in central China, with a population of more than one billion, how can we not have geniuses? Even one out of 10 million people is enough to crush all the countries in the world." But why not, why not one?"
Xiao Mengxin said No, there is still you, but he didn't say it, his heart was still fluctuating at this time, because Chen Feng's words were too sensitive.
Everyone knows that there are some problems with China's basketball system, but why has it been so difficult to change after so many years?
This is not without reason, because of historical reasons, because of interest factors, this state is always difficult to change, and no one dares to change it easily.
Therefore, no one has dared to try it for so many years.
Xiao Meng was thinking about it, and Chen Feng threw another bombshell: "In fact, Boss Yao is ready to start trying." ā
"Ahh
He just didn't expect that someone would really want to do it, even if it was just trying, it would be extremely difficult, and it could cause an earthquake.
This made Xiao Meng frown, his expression was solemn, and he asked, "When?"
"Let's wait until the CBA Finals are over. Chen Feng replied that he had only talked to Yao Ming superficially, and he didn't know too much about it. This kind of thing is not so easy to carry out, there are many variables, and it is difficult for anyone to know until the day it happens.
"Hmm. Xiao Meng nodded, and the thoughts in his heart flew up.
If it is really as Chen Feng said, Yao Ming is going to try and will launch it after the finals, then the impact will definitely not be small.
Seeing Xiao Meng's solemn expression, Chen Feng smiled slightly and said, "Don't think too seriously, Boss Yao is a measured person." At the beginning, he should just start with the CBA and not make too much trouble. After all, it's not that time yet. ā
"Yes. Yu Qian nodded.
Xiao Meng breathed a sigh of relief, looked at Chen Feng and said, "Senior, don't you want to get involved?"
Chen Feng smiled faintly: "I'll talk about this later, I don't want to ask too much about Boss Yao, and no one will know until that time." Now let's talk about our business, I have just said that Yu Qian and I have such a goal early on, it must be difficult to implement, it is very difficult, and it cannot be achieved overnight, so we are not in a hurry, we can take our time and think about it in the long run. ā
"But there are other things that can be started now. ā
"It is impossible to change the whole system for a while, but we can save the country by curves, although it will be more troublesome, and it may be a symptom rather than a cure, but it is better than doing nothing. Chen Feng said, "Me and Yu Qian, of course, and you." We intend to co-sign a foundation. ā
Xiao Meng was stunned: "Foundation, what are you doing?"
Chen Feng smiled bitterly, Yu Qian slapped Xiao Meng on the head, and said, "You don't even know the foundation, let me say what about you." This foundation is similar to a general charitable fund and an education fund, but our foundation is a basketball foundation. ā
"In other words, we set up a fund to support those teenagers who love basketball, open training camps, provide them with professional training guidance, and select talented people who work hard enough, and provide them with a special fund to encourage them to go on the road to professional basketball players. ā
"Of course, our fund is different from sports schools, which only face a part of the population, we are for all people. ā
"Also, we don't charge a fee, so anyone can apply to sign up for the course. But to enter the second stage, we will conduct a screening, and only a small number of people can be qualified, so as to save money and cultivate excellently. These people can and move on to the second stage, and we begin to guide on the professional path. ā
"In addition, we will also build some public basketball courts in the name of the foundation in some places where basketball culture and infrastructure are lacking, so that more people can have a place to play basketball, so as to gradually develop a strong basketball atmosphere and cultural atmosphere. ā
Hearing this, Xiao Meng nodded.
He didn't know much about the Foundation, but in the end, he had a personal experience and agreed with it.
Xiao Meng's hometown is just a small village, and only the middle school has a basketball court, although it is concrete, but it is in disrepair and full of potholes.
In addition, the school prohibits students from playing basketball during recess, for fear that it will make a noise to students, even if it is after school in the afternoon, there are also junior high school students who are not allowed to play ball in the evening for self-study.
Over time, the basketball court was completely abandoned, and one basket was rotten, leaving only the other side, which was basically abandoned.
It's not because no one plays, no one likes basketball, it's because there are no basic conditions, there is no public court at all.
Entering Anyi No. 1 Middle School and going to Guangdong Province to compete, Xiao Meng saw the difference in Guangdong Province.
In Guangdong Province, almost every village has its own community court, and many villages have more than one, such as schools, governments, enterprises, etc., also have their own courts, and the basketball culture has spread to every small place, which has also made Guangdong Province produce many outstanding players, such as Chen Jianghua and Yi Jianlian.
This made Xiao Meng realize that many times it is not that there are no outstanding talents, but because of objective factors, talents are buried. Just like himself, if he hadn't met Chen Feng, even if he had excellent talent, he would probably never touch basketball in his life.
A word to readers:
The lack of basic basketball facilities is indeed a problem, and there is no court in a township, let alone a village, in Shimmer's hometown. It's only in the town, and many people haven't been exposed to it since they were young, and even if they are talented, they miss the best age.
