On July 1, Zhou Xuan participated in the basketball activity in Guangzhou as an image ambassador.

In the square, he gave a speech on the future development of Chinese basketball. The Basketball Association knew Zhou Xuan's thoughts, discussed them before, and did not stop them.

The Basketball Association can't control Zhou Xuan, he can say whatever he wants, even if it's to put pressure on the Basketball Association.

"Many netizens posted posts discussing whether I would participate in the Asian Championships this summer and wanted me to participate. Here I can give you a clear answer, I will not compete at the Asian level. Zhou Xuan said to the fans.

Many people were immediately disappointed.

Zhou Xuan continued: "I don't participate, it's not because I don't have the physical strength, I want to rest, or some other reason. Rather, I think we should give this place to young players, players with potential, and let them practice. Even if they lose, if they are ashamed and courageous, it will be good for the future of Chinese basketball. I participated and led the team to win the Asian championship, will everyone gain confidence from this? What can the team do without me? When it comes to the Olympics, what rankings can we achieve? As we all know, basketball is a whole sport, and I didn't rely on my individual ability to win the quadruple championships! ”

The fans didn't interject, and Zhou Xuan said: "Before Yao Ming entered the national team, we were an invincible team in Asia. Notice I'm talking about invincibility, no team can pose a threat to us. In the past, almost every player in the national team was the core of their respective teams. Liu Yudong, Wang Zhizhi, Li Xiaoyong, Battle, Gong Xiaobin, Hu Weidong, Zheng Wu, Sun Jun...... I won't list them all. Think of these names, each of them has scored more than 20 points in a single game in the league, and from time to time there will be a performance of 30 or 40 points. What now? ”

Fans felt that the topic was a little heavy.

Now, with the aging of Liu Wei, Zhu Fangyu, Du Feng and others, the strength of the Chinese team on the outside is weaker than that of Asian opponents, and although there are more and more big players on the inside, they are far from the dominance of Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi and Battle. In the current CBA league, foreign aid sings the absolute protagonist. Regardless of whether it is inside or outside, it is basically foreign aid that fights against foreign aid, and the task of Chinese players is more to play a supporting role and throw in the empty three points created by foreign aid.

Zhou Xuan said loudly: "The false prosperity of the CBA league is the reason why the Chinese men's basketball team is sliding into the abyss, and our players are gradually being marginalized, and this must change." The players of the national team must be the core of each team, not the role player! I've looked at last season's CBA league scoring charts and read a set of distressing stats. In the season's scoring rankings, there is no shadow of Chinese players in the top 20 players, and even in the top 40 of the scoring list, only the names of Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhelin are found. ”

"No way!" The fans shouted together.

Basketball Association officials sweated en masse. The lifeless fans were driven by Zhou Xuanyi, and they felt as if they were going to revolt. If Zhou Xuan said "These guys from the Basketball Association are the sinners of Chinese basketball", the fans may rush up and beat him.

Zhou Xuan has already saved face for the people of the Basketball Association. The most ironic thing is that in 2015, the Asian Basketball Network released only two of the three best teams in the last CBA League, Chinese local players accounted for only two. Obviously, the CBA, known as the "second largest basketball league in the world", has now completely transformed into a show for foreign aid to dominate.

Time flies, the stars have changed, and now in the CBA League, everything has changed irreversibly, when people are obsessed with many NBA big-name foreign aid landing on the field, when people are talking about showing off the CBA Finals with more than 100 million viewers, the Chinese men's basketball team has frequently missed in international competitions.

gave up the hegemony of Asia, was beaten all over the ground in many international competitions, and was cleaned up by the ******** team and couldn't find the north.

The South Korean media classified China as second-rate in Asia, ******** coaches thought that mainland players could not use their brains to play ball, and the Japanese ridiculed China's habitual laxity. All this is thanks to the elite of the booming CBA. How can such a league produce core players? Such a league may be pretty, but can it be long-term? Can such a league promote the all-round development of Chinese basketball?

Many people believe that the problem of Chinese basketball lies in the lack of a solid foundation for young people, but in fact, the facts show that Chinese youth basketball has repeatedly achieved good results in the international arena, and it has an overwhelming advantage in Asia, and a group of talented children are praised as hopeful stars, but when they enter the CBA league This "boiled frog" environment, they gradually degenerated into mediocre people who can only shoot and even fade out of people's sight.

In the past season, the league's 94 players scored in double figures, and the number of homegrown players plummeted to 25. In front of this unbearable set of statistics, whose league is this?

In the interaction with the fans, Zhou Xuan pointed out a series of shortcomings of the Chinese league and told everyone with confidence. "Since I am the image ambassador of the CBA, I don't want to see Chinese basketball as a half-dead image."

The people of the Basketball Association can't even get angry, the results are here, Zhou Xuan is sarcastic and reasonable, they can't raise their heads, let alone refute it.

How to refute? Remove Zhou Xuan's image ambassador? Zhou Xuan almost didn't want money, and if he withdrew and invited someone at a high price, or someone who didn't have the strength to come, he would definitely be scolded to death by the fans.

In China, it is easy for them to make a player's reputation bad by bribing the media, so no one dares to offend the basketball association by players and coaches. But behind Zhou Xuan is the world's media, and the Chinese media have a monopoly in China, and they don't dare to wade into this troubled water, so they stink with the Basketball Association.

The most terrifying thing is that in case of offending Zhou Xuan, he held a press conference and said, "I decided to become an American citizen because the Basketball Association and the Chinese media are too disgusting to me." "Then the officials of the basketball association should be invited to tea by the big guys. Check how many properties they have, asset registration or something, and now the boss likes to do this.

Zhou Xuan's change of nationality is not as simple as sending giant pandas abroad. The same is a national treasure, and the value is also different.

Zhou Xuan's suggestion is: "It's not too late to break or stand." Since you are no longer the boss, it is better to learn from the current boss. ”

In recent years, the Iranian men's basketball team has grown rapidly and has replaced the Chinese team as the real hegemon in Asia, while the Iranian basketball league, regardless of its size and influence, is far less than China's CBA league in full swing. So, what is it about the Iranian men's basketball team that stands out in Asia? The reason is simple, because the Iranian league is more pragmatic. Iran's professional league rules allow each team to sign only one foreign player during the regular season, and only teams that enter the playoffs can add one foreign player.

As one Iranian basketball source put it, "What we want to see is more and more young players coming in, rather than having some out-of-date foreign players get good numbers and high salaries." ”

The CBA league's over-reliance on foreign aid has eroded the body of Chinese basketball like a nightmare, and in just five or six years, the huge fracture of Chinese basketball talent has been brutally presented in front of people. The Chinese Mesozoic players, who are in their playing years, look like a young man who "has the heart to serve the country and is unable to return to the sky" in the international arena.

Zhou Xuan said: "You can't have both fish and bear's paws, it's time to make a trade-off, if we are used to appreciating the splendor of epiphany, then don't complain about the transience of this pleasure." While we rely on and rely on a group of foreign aid to call for wind and rain today, we must be mentally prepared to be beaten up in the international arena tomorrow. I know that some people, out of self-interest, turned a blind eye to this dilemma, no one stood up to take responsibility, and no one made any targeted changes, let alone lost their black hats, but swaggered through the market one by one. Is this normal? ”

"It's not normal!"

"Are we going to change?"

"To change!"

Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "If I propose a plan, I hope the officials can seriously consider it and do it boldly." I also hope that if we limit the number of foreign players, the fans will not complain about the ugly game. Even Durant, he has changed from a blacksmith to a scoring champion! ”

The fans applauded together and didn't stop until he was about to continue talking and waving.

Zhou Xuan's plan is simple: each team can only choose one foreign player freely, and there is no limit to the playing time.

There is no doubt that foreign aid has injected vitality and excitement into the CBA league, but the damage caused by the excessive use of foreign aid to the development of Chinese basketball cannot be ignored. It's time to make a change, appropriately reducing foreign aid, which does not mean losing the excitement of the game, on the contrary, it will make the CBA league more intense and more real, so that more Chinese players will have more room to grow, and make the CBA league truly become a training ground for cultivating Chinese basketball talents. When the excitement of the CBA is no longer a stage for foreign aid to show alone, the revival of the Chinese men's basketball team will really begin!

After the event, the Basketball Association immediately held a meeting to seriously discuss the feasibility of Zhou Xuan's statement.

If Zhou Xuan didn't say these words, they would never discuss it until Chinese basketball became Chinese football. What they think about is not how to cultivate talents, how to make domestic players more high, but how to make money and how to attract audiences. Then divide this big cake.

However, they also understand that the record in the international arena is bad, and one day the fans will no longer buy it, and then the CBA will only be reduced to the same as the Chinese Super League, and the sponsors are too lazy to pay attention, and there are black whistles and match-fixing everywhere. When that day comes, it's useless to arrest a group of officials who are engaged in football.

Many fans lamented that Zhou Xuan is not just a leader on the court, if he is the president of the Basketball Association, maybe he can take the CBA to the draft and follow the professionalism of the NBA. He dared to think, speak, and act.

Only leaders will dare to change. People who cling to the wrong things are not going to bring things to the positive side.
