On December 3, Yi Jianlian officially set off for the United States.

Also on the same day, "Here is Basketball" was officially launched on major video apps.

This time was naturally arranged by Yi Jianlian in advance.

The majority of NBA players have chosen to return to the league when the league shutdown ends, which also means that the CBA will be less competitive, and it will also mean that attention will be reduced.

At this time, how to make the domestic basketball atmosphere sustainable, a variety show that pays attention to the whole people is a good choice.

And the strength of the lineup doesn't need to be much, four players above the all-star plus Tang Yan and Liu Yifei, two golden flowers, this lineup will not be false if compared with any variety show!

"Hahahaha, is the UAE's sense of variety show so good?"

"Liu Yifei and Tang Yan are so beautiful!"

"If Ma Liang develops well in the future, maybe he can go professional, he is amazing!"

Judging from the reaction on the Internet after the first episode was broadcast, this show undoubtedly successfully detonated the market, and the response was very big. At the same time, in the first episode of the program, Ma Liang, a grassroots player who performed well in the 1vs1 confrontation, also attracted a lot of attention.

Looking at good physical fitness, superb dribbling skills, coupled with good accuracy, the most important thing is that he is only 17 years old now, facing the 24-year-old street king Dong Fangcheng played an eye-catching performance, and successfully eliminated the latter, and became the first grassroots star player to become popular in this episode of the show.

Yi Jianlian has also learned about Ma Liang, during the recording of the show, he has more or less understanding of every player who stays, Ma Liang's talent is good, although there is still a long way to go from the professional game, but combined with his personal experience, it is not easy to have the current performance.

His parents are teachers, old-fashioned teachers, and teachers who think that grades represent some teachers, so they are very opposed to Ma Liang playing ball, thinking that basketball is useless, and only studying hard and being admitted to college is the most correct choice, and the sentence they most often hang on their lips is - can basketball give you food?

But this pressure did not make Ma Liang give up basketball, he often runs to hone his skills for an hour or an hour and a half after completing his studies in the middle of the night, which is also the reason why Yi Jianlian thinks that Ma Liang is talented, he does not practice for a long time every day, but he can still achieve the current results, and he can also eliminate the street king Dong Fangcheng, which is not an easy thing!

"I want my parents to know that my dream is basketball and I can listen to them study hard, but I also want them to respect my dream!"

Ma Liang cried with joy after the promotion, leaving such a paragraph, his words also made many players on the scene bow their heads silently, obviously, most of them have also experienced such a thing, although the way of resistance is different, but they are eager to be recognized, let their parents know that basketball is not a plaything, this is also a dream, and they are also sweating for their dreams!

is also such an empathetic guy, which made the first episode of the show appear unforgettable and profound.

We respect everyone who has a dream!

When Ma Liang turned around and returned to the field, the subtitle group also typed such a paragraph.

Yi Jianlian was still very happy to record this show, because in the following shows, there will be a few good seedlings coming out, of course, they failed to play in a more professional environment for various reasons, but their talent allowed them to play well even in a not friendly environment.

And Yi Jianlian's episode of the show will also make some turns in their lives, as for what the final result will be, whether any of these people can really change their fate completely, Yi Jianlian can't guarantee it, this needs to be proved by time.

The success of the first episode of the program also made Yi Jianlian believe that similar variety shows will be launched in China one after another, after all, variety shows want traffic and topicality, and this is also the reason, the popularity of "Here is Basketball" will inevitably make the second and third similar programs of the basketball series of variety shows withdraw.

This is the inevitability of variety shows following the crowd!

Of course, Yi Jianlian hopes that such a thing will happen, and only when such a thing happens, the domestic basketball atmosphere will be as good as possible!

December 5th.

The NBA free agency is open, and due to the shutdown of the league, the free agency has a limited amount of time this time, and the regular season will start on December 25.

This means that each team has only 20 days to strengthen and refine the squad!

Fortunately, when Xiao Hua announced that the shutdown was about to end, the general managers of the entire league had already communicated with each other in advance, and all the transactions were almost negotiated before the free market opened!

This also made it possible for as many as 20 transactions to take place at the same time on December 5, the first time after the free market opened!

Among them, the New York Knicks, who were the defending champions last season, are particularly active in the free market.

Because of their current squad, only Yi Jianlian, Amar Stadmeire, Dragic, Landry Fields and the newcomer Iman Champert who was just selected this summer have five contracts to fill, which means that they will have to fill 10 vacancies in the next time.

It can't be helped, Downey has set a three-year plan, since he became general manager last year, his goal is to clean up the junk contract, and then think about rebuilding, and as a result, most of the player contracts he has received are contracts that expired last year and this summer.

This is also the reason why the New York team won the championship this year, this team is completely collecting a bunch of stinky fish and rotten shrimp, the kind that basically expires this season!

But maybe it's a contract year, and these guys are playing well.

The victory of a game cannot belong to only one person, Yi Jianlian also has their part behind his outstanding performance, and now he is famous, and everyone takes what they need.

At least judging from the market feedback on the first day, the veterans of the New York team are very sought-after, and they have basically found their next home.

Of course, Downey isn't going to keep these guys, after all, he's going to build players who can help New York win championships in the future, and these guys are playing well in a contract year, but he's not sure if they'll be able to play well after the contract year. So it's better to choose stronger players.

Dolan has spoken out to build a championship-level team without caring about the luxury tax!

In the city of New York, no matter how much luxury tax you pay, you can earn it back!

The premise is that New York continues to be competitive and can continue to win the championship!

After all, the team has not won two consecutive championships in its history......
