Chapter 609: You Are Really Born For Basketball

Who is calling? -- The banner of domestic basketball, Yao Ming. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Yao Ming? Why did he call me at this time? Oh, I should have heard from Coach Li that I should have returned to China.

Thinking of this, Tang Qian calmed down, and then connected the phone and said, "Hello Brother Yao, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

"Hello, Xiao Tang, I heard from Coach Li that you have returned to China, do you want to come to Shanghai and help my big shark?" Yao Ming didn't hide it, and asked directly. In fact, Yao Ming mentioned this matter last time in the Yao restaurant in Houston, and Tang Qian also agreed. So with this premise, Tang Qian could only say: "Brother Yao, but the purpose of my trip is mainly to accompany my parents, and I suddenly went to Shanghai to ......."

How do you know that Yao Ming's mind turned quickly, and he blurted out in an instant: "What kind of problem is this, it is right to accompany your parents, you can bring your parents to Shanghai together, and by the way, let the old people also enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Huangpu River." Yao Ming was able to successfully transfer from an athlete to the business and political worlds in the future, this head is by no means comparable to ordinary people, and he solved all Tang Qian's "concerns" at once.

"Don't worry, it's still what we said last time, your family will come to Shanghai, and I will be the east, how about it?" Yao Ming said with a smile.

Seeing that Yao Ming had said this, Tang Qian was a little "hypocritical" and "deliberate" to shirk it, so he said to the phone: "Okay Brother Yao, then I'll trouble you." ”

"No problem, I'll book the plane tickets for your family, 3, right?"

Tang Qian thought for a while and said, "Well, it's estimated that it will cost 4 tickets, Brother Yao, I still have a ...... here."

"Haha~ No problem, no problem~ It's decided, I'll send it to you when it's decided~" Yao Ming smiled heartily, didn't ask anything, and hung up the phone, which saved Tang Qian a lot of explanation and embarrassment.

This Brother Yao, EQ is really unexpectedly high, no wonder the future is so good~

Tang Qian didn't know that Yao Ming would eventually be directly promoted to "Chairman Yao" and become the real leader of Chinese basketball.

Yao Ming's speed was indeed a quick one, and it didn't take long for Tang Qian's mobile phone to receive a text message prompt, with a total of four tickets, all of which were first-class. When Tang Qian said something at lunchtime, Tang's father and Tang's mother both nodded in agreement, and Taylor didn't say anything, but looked extremely looking forward to it.

Since it was a 6 o'clock plane in the evening, after eating at noon, Tang Qian's family packed up in a hurry. Then the family chartered a taxi and went straight to the airport. The journey time was not long, about 2 hours in total, so at 8 o'clock in the evening, Tang Qian's family arrived in Shanghai.

As soon as he came out, someone held a sign to pick up people, Tang Qian called Yao Ming to confirm, and then followed these people to board the car and went directly to the XXXX five-star hotel in Shanghai. I went out with my parents in the evening and ended the day.

Early the next morning, Tang Qian received a phone call, it was Yao Ming, and he asked Tang Qian if he had gotten up.

After Tang sneaked downstairs, he walked in front of a huge custom-made car, and as soon as the door opened, a familiar face said, "Hello, Xiao Tang, meet again." After Tang sneaked into the car, he nodded and said, "Yes, Brother Yao, how have you been developing recently?" ”

After the car started, Yao Ming shrugged and said: "It's not very good, the road to full professionalism in China is still very difficult, I'm just a crab eater." This is the truth, Yao Ming wants to implement a full-professional process in the CBA, but the first thing to bear the brunt of is the problem of his old friend Liu Wei, a veteran guard of the national team. Because if you want to run the NBA, you must take a rational approach to things, and firing your mentor Li Qiuping is only the first step, and the second part is to put the captain Liu Wei as a trading chip and put it on the trading table.

This may be a normal thing in the United States and the NBA, but in China, hehe, it has made Yao Ming saddled with the infamy of "ingratitude" and "cold-blooded and ruthless". No way, now China is still taking the "semi-professional operation mode", human affection is greater than rationality, under heavy pressure, Yao Ming can only renew the contract with Liu Wei. But even so, it still can't stop the leisurely mouth of some good deeds.

This made Yao Ming feel for the first time that it was difficult to implement a full-professional operation strategy in the CBA, because most people, including insiders, believed that "brotherly favor" was greater than "business in business". This is also something that has been deeply rooted in China since the beginning of the establishment of the league. Even within the big shark itself, there was a lot of accusations.

For example, Shan Zhenhao, a team translator and video analyst for the Big Sharks, once said that the CBA is only a semi-professional league now, and it is too early to talk about full professionalism and business. Because the CBA will definitely not become like the NBA in the short term. If you have to do this, and you think the NBA is the right one, please show your results. Who is the finger pointing at these words? Of course, it's the new boss, Yao Ming.

This also reflects the current situation of the entire domestic basketball circle, insiders are such "short-sighted", and call "all-professional operation" "ruthless", not to mention ordinary people. Therefore, Yao Ming was in China during this time, and he was almost "verbally criticized", which was not easy at all.

Tang Qian, as a person with memories of the next few years, of course knows Yao Ming's hardships, this big guy in front of him, wants to be the "pioneer" of domestic professional basketball, and wants to be the first person to "eat crabs", but unfortunately he has introduced a lot of NBA running strategies, but in a few years, little success. In this way, ridicule and mockery followed.

Hiring Deng Huade is a failure, and then selecting players directly from the NCAA to play in the CBA is also a wrong move. At the very least, the stride was a little too big. Because of the style, scale, and rules of domestic basketball, these American college league players have caused huge "adaptation pressure". And the overestimation of the big shark fans is also one of the reasons why the "mind" of this team is extremely fragile.

In the end, Yao Ming could only give up the "foreign marshal route" and reuse the "national marshal", because after several years of hitting a wall, he and his team finally understood that some things cannot be done overnight. Even though the technical and tactical level of foreign coaches is generally higher than that of domestic coaches, they are not familiar with the domestic basketball culture, which is the most fatal thing.

Because the CBA is ultimately a Chinese basketball league, not the United States.

Long-term player fixity, inmobility, and wanting to rely on one team to break it is simply whimsical.

After Yao Ming and Tang Qian talked about some of their team's troubles, Tang Qian said in a surprising voice: "Brother Yao, I think you should give up the foreign coach for the time being and reactivate the domestic coach." After all, our domestic players have been used to being disciplined, and suddenly the scale has changed to the NBA model, and they will only not adapt to it and eventually become wild horses. ”

"Oh? Do you know how the team works? Yao Ming became a little interested and asked.

Just kidding, I don't understand, this is your own future correction, I just borrowed flowers to offer the Buddha in advance.

"Brother Yao, I don't understand these things, I just feel that what you just said is something that the NBA has been running for decades, so it seems to be stable and has sufficient clinical experience. But in fact, for our current basketball soil, it is still too advanced, and we should increase our efforts little by little, which may be more effective than a rigid routine in one go. Tang Qian said: "Even if it is the NBA, it did not have such a perfect mechanism and such a perfect charter at the beginning, it also evolved slowly through 60~70 times, and slowly transitioned." So at present, I think that the domestic league does not have a fixed business model at all, and after this year's season is over, we will discuss how to do it next year, and even cut the number of regular games, which is absolutely harmful to a healthy league. ”

"Well, there's some truth." Yao Ming thought for a while and said: "Regarding the issue of standardization, this is indeed a big drawback of the current league, in the past, the CBA also had an era of 50 games a season, but now after changing the 'talker', everything is only in line with the national team." In order to prepare for international competitions and increase the training time, Shangsheng cut the regular season to 30+ games, which is really not enough for a complete league operation, and there are too few games. In addition, the 'Spring Festival War', which I proposed to imitate the NBA's 'Christmas War', was also directly rejected as too 'humane' and 'cruel' to athletes. ”

"Alas, there is also the 'expansion plan' that is being discussed above, with a total of more than 30 regular season games in a season, and I want to add 4~5 more teams to come in, which is really not a 'specific problem specific analysis' at all. You must know that the current domestic basketball soil cannot give birth to so many professional athletes, nor can it give birth to so many professional coaches and other supporting professions, forcing this will only make the league's 'prices skyrocket', and the players are blinded by the prosperity on the surface, and they are no longer so serious about professional practice. Not to mention our CBA, even if it is the NBA, the 60s~70s expanded the army, didn't it also cause a lot of turmoil? If it weren't for David. Stern was born out of thin air and turned the tide, and the so-called NBA league may have long been yellow. ”

"But the NBA has David. Stern, what about us, who are there now? Who wants to step up and lead? Yao Ming said with some tangled expressions and pain: "Okay, in fact, I personally think that even if there is a David in China. Stern, he is useless, because now in general, it is still the 'Yiyantang' above. ”

Tang Qian thought for a while, and then made a suggestion: "Brother Yao, so I think it should start with the 'doll'." "Grab from the doll? What does this mean? Yao Ming asked.

"Anyway, the soil of this generation is difficult to change, so it is better to simply ......" Tang Qian made a "one-size-fits-all" gesture and said: "Directly cultivate the soil by yourself, and then fundamentally change the status quo of domestic basketball, but the time for this input and output is ......."

Tang Qian is also "borrowing flowers to offer Buddha", because Yao Ming did this by himself in 2014 and established an NBA Yao Ming school. The general purpose of this school is the same as what Tang Qian just said.

Since the current soil can't be changed, then I'll catch the next generation.

It can be seen that Yao Ming is really willing to invest in domestic basketball, otherwise this kind of "changing soil" thing will not be effective in a few years or even seven or eight years, which is not in line with the "profit-seeking nature" of a pure businessman. If it weren't for the love and responsibility for domestic basketball, Rocket 11 wouldn't have to do it at all.

"Well, this idea is good, but I ...... it alone" Yao Ming also has difficulties, after all, it is only 2013, in fact, even in the original time and space, NBA Yao Ming School, just collecting tuition fees can't make money, but will lose money, but Yao Ming's image is good, so he has attracted a lot of sponsors, which solves the urgent need at the beginning stage.

"It's okay, Brother Yao, if you don't dislike it, I can come with you, how about we invest in this 'soil project' together?" Tang Qian proposed, this is also what he especially wanted to do in his previous life. If you are poor, you will be good alone, and if you are good, you will help the world. Although he is far from being able to talk about "reaching" now, he has the qualifications to help Yao Ming and help the domestic basketball world to do some effort.

Yao Ming was stunned when he heard this, and said, "You want to do it with me?" ”

"That's right." Tang Qian nodded and said: "I just want to see basketball really thrive in China in my lifetime, and I am willing to contribute to achieve this goal." "Good!" Yao Ming suddenly said: "I really didn't misread you!" Don Jr., you're different from most domestic basketball players. ”

"You're someone who really made it for basketball."

……

Arriving at the training base of the big shark, Yao Ming personally led Tang Qian, walked into the training base, and said loudly: "Let's stop for a while, let me introduce you to a person, he is the No. 29 from the Los Angeles Lakers, Tang Qian." ”

Tang Qian's sudden appearance gave these young people a great surprise, and soon they swarmed up and surrounded Tang Qian, looking at that appearance, it was very similar to Tang Qian's previous life to look at NBA stars.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, since I invited Tang Qian today, it won't be so easy for him to leave, and everyone will have the opportunity to receive Tang Qian's close guidance later." After Yao Ming finished speaking, he lowered his head and joked with Tang Qian: "Sure enough, it is the back waves of the Yangtze River pushing the front waves, look at me, no one is chasing you now~"

Tang Qian smiled and said, "Brother Yao, you are too modest, you are the banner figure of Chinese basketball, I began to worship you when I was very young." ”

"Haha, lie and lie~" Yao Ming also smiled: "I'll trouble you today, help guide and guide these young children, they are all the future of our big sharks." "No problem, Brother Yao." Tang Qian promised: "I will do my best." ”

PS: This chapter has been revised and rewritten for a long time, Xiaozi really hopes that domestic basketball can rise again, how many games have not been won in the Olympics? Especially after watching the video replay of the NBA Finals today, this feeling is a little deeper.

I'm not afraid to start late, I'm afraid I'm afraid that I've been standing still~ I hope the kiln can make some achievements~
