Chinese basketball has taken the road of professionalism, in fact, it has not been a few years, and it has only begun to take shape after 95 years, and it has only been about four years now.

In the whole of Asia, in fact, the foundation of basketball is not good, and the best commercialization of basketball is definitely not the Chinese men's basketball team, but the Philippines......

The professionalization of the Philippine men's basketball team was carried out quite early, and it can be said that it is the second professional basketball league in the world outside the NBA.

The popularity of basketball in the Philippines is quite high, but the strength of the Philippine men's basketball team is not very good, and it is not very conspicuous in Asia.

So from this point of view, basketball taking the road of commercialization is not necessarily a good thing.

But now the Chinese men's basketball team has to take the road of commercialization, and the previous provinces have trained players, and the effect is naturally very good, but basketball is a sport with large investment and small output......

Men's and women's basketball plus a total of two gold medals, unlike weightlifting, table tennis, badminton, diving, these sports, subdivided into many items, you can get more gold medals, such as Olympic gold medals, the number of gold medals won by each province is also to be counted, and the provinces with more gold medals will naturally be rewarded.

Therefore, various provinces have basically given up basketball, a sport with high input and low output, and can only let basketball be commercialized and self-sufficient.

Davidson's arrival will undoubtedly provide a lot of advanced commercialization advice for the Chinese men's basketball team.

After staying in the capital for half a month, Jiang Xingquan took Davidson to Jiangsu to sign a coaching contract with the Nangang team.

Although Nangang is located in wealthy Jiangsu, it is actually not the kind of local tyrant team.

To be precise, there are no local tyrant teams in the CBA at the moment.

The management of Nanjing Iron and Steel has great respect for Davidson, but they cannot give him much of a contract.

In the end, he was given a contract with an annual salary of 1 million yuan, which is definitely a big cut less than Davidson's salary in the NBA.

You must know that Davidson is in the NBA, and he can get five million US dollars, which is close to 40 million if converted into RMB......

One million to forty million, that's definitely a pitiful few.

But compared to other CBA coaches, it is definitely the sky-high price of the sky-high, not to mention the coach, even the players are not many people who can get this high salary.

Players in the 90s, when the CBA was not established, player salaries were quite low.

Even in Davidson's opinion, it is ridiculously low.

For example, Gong Xiaobin of the golden generation has a monthly salary of only 5,000 ......

That's right, it's 5,000 RMB.

And Liu Yudong, a big figure in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team, does not even have a guaranteed monthly salary, and only has a training fee of 200 yuan a day.

This is not a matter of ancient times, it is a few years ago, and you can imagine why everyone wants to play in the NBA, because the salary earned is really not a grade.

Gong Xiaobin, the main player of the men's basketball team, only has a monthly salary of 5,000 US dollars, and when converted into US dollars, the annual salary is almost 10,000 US dollars.

In the NBA, even if you get the lowest base salary, you can get at least ten times or twenty times the salary......

Athletes eat youth, and who doesn't want to make more money before they can't move, so as to seek stability for the rest of their lives.

And now after embarking on the commercialization route, the treatment of players is naturally much better, and last season, the CBA issued a sky-high contract.

Beijing Aoshen gave Ma Jian a super contract with an annual salary of 1 million yuan.

This contract frightened many people, and directly made Ma Jian the most beautiful player in the CBA.

You must know that Yao Ming doesn't have such a high salary when he plays in the CBA now.

The high-end community in Beijing's Third Ring Road is less than 5,001 square meters, and Ma Jian's annual salary can buy a 200-square-meter house in Beijing's Third Ring Road.

In addition to Ma Jian, not to mention millions of annual salaries, even players with an annual salary of 500,000 are rare, and the entire CBA can't find the number of slaps.

So it can also be seen from this that the Southern Steel team attaches great importance to Davidson, and such a salary gives Davidson the respect he deserves.

Davidson definitely didn't care about this salary, and after arriving at the Nanjing Iron and Steel team, he first chatted with Hu Weidong, the leader of Nanjing Iron and Steel for an afternoon.

A few years ago, Hu Weidong was very brilliant in the CBA, but his record has not been very good, and with the injury in the past two years, Hu Weidong's state has declined significantly.

He also thinks that before he retires, he can lead Nangang to win a CBA championship, although this possibility is not very large.

Davidson patted his chest and promised to keep Hu to get a championship ring before he retired.

After chatting with Lao Hu, Davidson found Tang Zhengdong, a young center of the Southern Iron and Steel team.

Chatting with Lao Hu, Davidson was completely in a private capacity, while chatting with Tang Zhengdong, Davidson was in the official capacity of the team.

The Southern Steel team heard that Davidson was going to train Tang Zhengdong into the kind of superstar who could cut 50+20+10 in the CBA, so they naturally let Davidson arrange it.

The super center, who averaged 50 points, 20 rebounds and 10 blocks per game, made the management of Nanjing Iron and Steel excited when he thought about it.

……

In the players' dormitory, Davidson sat opposite Tang Zhengdong.

"Datang, do you have any career plans for the future?" Davidson asked Tang Zhengdong with a smile.

Although Tang Zhengdong is extremely young now, his nickname is still Datang.

is similar to the nickname of young Yao Ming.

Young Chinese interior players, because of their high size, are generally nicknamed in big characters.

Da Yao, Daba, Dazhi, Datang and even later Wang Zhelin......

As for the outside players, they are nicknamed in small letters.

For example, Xiao Ding, Xiao Guo, Xiao Zhang, etc......

This is quite Chinese characteristics.

Of course, these big Yao Xiaoding will not be young in the future and become veteran players, they will definitely not be called like that, and the team will have to be called Brother Yao, Brother Ding and the like.

Now Tang Zhengdong's nickname is Datang.

Hearing Davidson's question, Tang Zhengdong laughed shyly.

"Coach, I want to play in the NBA like them."

When Datang said about them, he naturally referred to Daba and Dazhi.

The bus had signed a five-year contract with the King for a total of $78 million!

This is still the bus feeling that the team's salary is tight, so he deliberately lowered his salary.

You must know that there are already teams in the league who are willing to pay a salary of $100 million for six years to sign a player like Bus.

Seventy-eight million, and that's still dollars, that's a huge temptation for any professional footballer.

Players like Datang, in fact, if you want to say how much they really love basketball, it's not enough.

Walking on this road, most likely because of their height, they can only walk this road.

If you can earn as much salary as a bus, even if it is only for one year, you will have no worries about food and clothing for a lifetime.

Even if you don't have the same treatment as a bus, with Dazhi's current rookie contract, you can live comfortably for the rest of your life.

So Datang's answer was not surprising to Davidson at all.
