Yao Ming has no reason to lie to Tang Tian, this Lin Huanyu said this, probably just don't like the title of rich second generation.

After all, in this era, the meaning of many words has changed, and what is broad and profound, what is the three poles of the day, and what is the best of the people have been given new meanings.

The rich second generation was originally a neutral word, but it also had a bit of a derogatory flavor.

"Hello, I'm Tang Tian."

Tang Tian also smiled and stretched out his hand to Lin Huanyu.

After shaking hands and saying hello, the three of them sat down across the coffee table.

After Tang Tian sat down, he glanced at Lin Huanyu more.

He was a little curious, how Yao Ming would suddenly bring a rich second generation over.

This is not something he took the initiative to ask Yao Ming, and to be honest, he plays in the United States, and he doesn't need to know rich people in China, because there is no intersection.

Yao Ming also knew Tang Tian's doubts, and after chatting a few words, he then cut to the chase.

"I want to pilot a new basketball school in China, and I plan to implement the CBA draft system to turn basketball into a profession."

Yao Ming's words made Tang Tian very interested.

The poor basketball in China is not only a physical problem of the yellow race, but also a problem of the basketball system, or the lack of a system.

And the so-called lack of system means that there is no proper professional path.

To put it bluntly, when Americans play basketball, they will have a goal and know that they have a chance to play in the NBA.

And starting from junior high school, to high school and college, it is a very standardized and professional road.

If you want to play in the NBA, the main way is through the draft.

To be drafted, you'll have to work hard to get into the NCAA Division I team or even the super-elite school when you're in college.

And to get into these schools, you have to make a name for yourself in high school and become a national five-star or higher.

And if you want to make a name for yourself, you have to show your talent in junior high school and be able to get into these high schools.

And if you want to excel in junior high school or even earlier, you have to train hard from a young age.

This is a step-by-step, very clear path to the NBA.

It seems to be reading, but in fact, it is also screening basketball talents.

This is also a professional road, which is currently not available in China.

There are 1.5 billion people in China, but in fact, only one million people participate, and only 100,000 or even fewer can really embark on the road of professionalism.

Therefore, if you want to improve the level of Chinese basketball, it is by no means an overnight thing, and the most important thing that needs to be done is to make it professional.

The child's parents know that their children can live by playing basketball in the future, so they will let their children go this way, not simply by love.

It is always necessary to have a good meal, and only when we solve the problems of life can we talk about love.

The basketball school mentioned by Yao Ming and the CBA draft are all very critical points.

Most of today's schools are exam-oriented education, and it will be very, very difficult to promote basketball in these schools.

Instead of this, it is better to make a new piece of cake, as long as you can make a few and succeed, then there will be more and more such schools.

In the future, maybe you can cooperate with some famous schools.

At that time, CUBA can really become the same existence as the NCAA.

And the draft is a very crucial part of it.

Most of the current CBA talents come from each team's own youth training and training.

Basketball starts with children, and this path is right and suitable for the present.

But that shouldn't be the way to go professional.

Because of the different talent selection mechanisms of each team, there are too many fish that have slipped through the net, and there are too many real basketball talents that have been buried.

Even when the team is selected, it will be full of money and power trading, stereotypical training, and so on.

Many of the players cultivated in this way lack emotional intelligence, which greatly restricts the upper limit.

Therefore, the draft is the fundamental way to solve this problem, so that the fish that slipped through the net also have a chance to enter the CBA.

Of course, basketball schools and the draft must be combined to be most effective, otherwise the average person is rarely better than the people the team develops.

It's going to be a long road, but if you want to revive basketball or even take it to the next level, that's the fundamental solution.

And this point is also perfect.

The better thing now than before is that there is the ultimate template of Tang Tian.

When Yao Ming became the champion in the NBA, many centers emerged in Asia, and Yi Jianlian and Haddadi both played in the NBA.

This is the role model and pioneer effect.

And now that Tang Tian is a swinging guard, the scope of this effect has been expanded.

Asians can play more than just high, which will make CBA teams and basketball schools not take high as the only criterion when selecting talents.

Technique is also a talent, hard work is also a talent, and heart is also a talent.

With the advent of the small-ball era, the phrase that basketball is just a giant sport no longer applies.

This is an opportunity for the rise of Chinese basketball.

Yao Ming is indeed not just a player, his clear planning ideas coincide with what Tang Tian did in his previous life.

It was also in their chat that Tang Tian knew the reason why Yao Ming introduced Lin Huanyu to him.

If you want to build a new basketball school, the most important thing is money.

This Lin Huanyu is willing to pay.

And indeed, as he himself said, he is not a rich second generation, but a super rich second generation.

Yao Ming's vision of basketball schools is to pilot five schools in second- and third-tier cities such as Hangzhou, Tianjin, Xiamen, Xi'an, and Guiyang.

The reason why I didn't choose a first-tier city was to temporarily avoid the problem of competing for a living with CBA players.

And Lin Huanyu is willing to invest in these five schools with full investment.

This is not a small amount of money, if it weren't for the fact that the family was particularly rich, the rich second generation would not be able to afford to play like this.

However, there are too many hidden rich people in China, and it is impossible to get to the bottom of this kind of thing, but it is enough that people are willing to pay.

"I have a mine at home."

This Lin Huanyu is also more humorous.

However, from Yao Ming's mouth, Tang Tian knew that the real reason why he was willing to invest was his love for basketball and his admiration for him.

That's right, this Lin Huanyu is a fan of Tang Tian.

"I'll also contribute a part."

Tang Tian's money was used to buy yachts and houses, and the savings were not very large.

But it's okay to come up with a few million dollars.

Yao Ming moved very quickly, and the day after chatting with Tang Tian, the Basketball Association announced that it would open the CBA draft system next year.

This is the first step, and this step has already attracted huge public opinion from the outside world.

A lot of people support it because it means that ordinary people can play professional basketball as long as they work hard.

There are also many people who are down, because the gap between the strength of ordinary people and professional young players is too big, and current college students can't play CBA at all.

Some people also say that the Basketball Association is following the example of Xi Shi, and it is completely useless.

But in any case, this is Yao Ming's first step for Chinese professional basketball after being elected president of the Basketball Association last year and integrating resources.

It means change, and it means a lot.
