Chapter 748: A New Era Belonging to Zhong Yu

Yao Ming has gone through a long journey from starting to play basketball to gradually becoming well-known, until he shines in the NBA, and this journey has more meaning.

He gradually became the national idol of the Chinese, became the superstar of the NBA, and the national spirit is located.

It wasn't until Zhong Yu was born later that Yao Ming slowly faded away.

Until now, Zhong Yu's fans have spread overwhelmingly in China, and his influence has completely surpassed Yao Ming and become China's new national idol...... But Yao Ming is still a place in the hearts of fans.

Yao Ming played for the youth team of Shanghai Big Shark Club at the age of 13, was selected for the national team at the age of 17, and led the Shanghai men's basketball team to win the CBA championship at the age of 23. In 2002, he was selected by the Rockets as the first 748 chapter in NBA history to belong to Zhong Yu's new era of local "champion show", and in the 9 years of NBA play, Yao Ming was the absolute core of the Rockets and was selected to the NBA All-Star team 8 times.

He is also the technical and tactical core and spiritual leader of the Chinese national men's basketball team. Yao Ming represented the national team for the first time in the Asian Men's Basketball Championship and regained the Asian championship with his teammates. In the following 10 years, Yao Ming and the national team have experienced 3 Olympic Games and 2 World Championships, Yao Ming has accompanied the Chinese men's basketball team through the most stable 10 years, and after 2008, the Chinese men's basketball team has achieved the most brilliant three years!

At the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Yao Ming, who was fighting at home, led the Chinese men's basketball team to fight hard in the game, breaking into the quarterfinals of the Olympic Games for the third time, and even defeating Spain, winning the Olympic runner-up in history! To the excitement of all Chinese fans, Yao Ming's central role has also been played to the extreme. Due to its outstanding performance at the Beijing Olympics, the Chinese men's basketball team was well received by the party. Middle. Yang Heguo. Business. Commendation from the hospital.

It's a pity that in his years of fighting career, Yao Ming's injury can no longer be hidden......

The injury on the foot is becoming more and more irrepressible......

Zhong Yu finally met Yao Ming on July 10.

Two Chapters 748 belong to Zhong Yu's new era and sit facing each other, Zhong Yu said: "I really didn't expect you to make such a choice, to be honest, this choice of yours stunned me all of a sudden." ”

Yao Ming smiled shallowly, and then said, "Isn't this choice of mine also expected?" I've been through so much before, and I've been through too much of my injured leg to be able to withstand the toss. Thinking about the road I have traveled over the years, it really feels like a world away. ”

Zhong Yu smiled: "Are you planning to study?" ”

Yao Ming looked at him strangely: "How do you know?" ”

"It's simple...... I've heard you use such literary words as if you were in another world......"

"While going to ......," Yao Ming scolded with a smile: "I've always been very gentle, okay?" However, to be honest, when this decision was first made, I was very sad myself, thinking that I would have to face the world with another identity in the future...... It's a bit reluctant. ”

Zhong Yu nodded: "I understand your feelings.

Yao Ming glanced at Zhong Yu, and then said, "Sometimes I really envy you...... I really don't know how your body grows, you can actually use the body of a yellow race, have a physical quality that is difficult for black people to match, and have the technology that has been tempered to the peak...... I don't know how you did it. ”

Zhong Yu saw that Yao Ming was indeed very envious, thinking of his love for basketball but having to retire, he felt a little heavy, so he said: "Keep a low profile!" I've always kept a low profile, and besides, the legendary 4% fat content in my body is no joke. ”

He said this, but it was only to lighten the mood......

If others don't know him, can they not know? Yao Ming has made a series of efforts to survive in the NBA over the years.

From being tall and thin when he first entered the league, to becoming stronger and stronger later who is more and more not afraid of physical confrontation, Yao Ming has really worked a lot.

But there are some things that are really destined by heaven, and they are not up to anyone.

Yao Ming has been reimbursed for several seasons in a row...... He chose to retire at this time, and from a selfish point of view, it is indeed a very good choice......

He still retired at the most favorable moment...... Injuries have made it impossible to blame him and he has retained the glory of his career.

Hearing Zhong Yu say this, Yao Ming also knew that he wanted to ease the atmosphere, so he scolded with a smile: "You kid ......"

The two talked a little more, and at the end, he spoke: "Ah Yu, next, a lot of things will be handed over to you!" I'm going to be relaxed, and from today onwards, I can do anything. But you...... You will be the benchmark of Chinese basketball in the future...... With you alone, all the basketball fans in China, those teenagers who have just fallen in love with basketball, will have a hope in their hearts. ”

After a pause, he added, "You are not completely alone now,...... It's true that you've reached the top of the championship just now, but there's still a long, long way to go...... I really wish you better and better in the NBA, I hope you can have a very complete career, and I hope you can make Chinese really have that hope. Of course, this is the biggest premise, and it is also a reminder from someone I have come to you, that is, you must protect your body...... When you're young, you can fight and be desperate, but when you're older, a lot of problems will be exposed. I hope you'll be good all the time......"

Yao Ming's tone was getting heavier and heavier...... These things, he had to say.

Indeed, Zhong Yu is facing a very difficult burden, and what he is burdened with is the hope of the entire Chinese basketball world.

Speaking of these, when it comes to Zhong Yu's championship, there are still some unspeakable regrets in his eyes...... Indeed, not winning the championship is an eternal regret in Yao Ming's heart.

Back then, he and Maddie formed the Yaomai dynasty that people imagined...... Who knew that in the end, it just turned into a regrettable thing that could not be resolved......

Of course, Zhong Yu also knows his regrets and knows what he imagines in his heart...... I can only sigh.

Yao Ming's words, every sentence was in his heart, Zhong Yu nodded heavily and didn't say anything more, but he did make his own promise.

On July 20, 2011, Yao Ming held a press conference in Shanghai to officially announce his retirement and end his career as a professional footballer.

When the news broke, all the fans fell silent.

Zhong Yu also participated in the press conference on this day, and just after the press conference, he was interviewed by reporters: "Zhong Yu, as a teammate of Yao Ming's national team, a Chinese player who competed in the NBA together, what do you think of Yao Ming's retirement?" ”

Zhong Yu faced the camera and the microphone, and said with some sadness: "Yao Ming's retirement is a loss for the Chinese basketball world...... From today onwards, we can no longer cheer Yao Ming in front of the TV...... But I want to say that he has made too many contributions to the Chinese basketball scene in the past ten years...... The list goes on and on, and we are saddened by his passing, but we also need to acknowledge his previous contributions. Moreover, I believe that Yao Ming's retirement is an end but also a beginning, and it is the beginning of his contribution to the motherland in another capacity...... I believe that in the future, he will use this identity to walk out of a more wonderful life. ”

Zhong Yu's words are decent, and combined with Yao Ming's press conference, it is indeed more touching......

That's pretty much the end of it!

Chinese's hopes are basically placed on Zhong Yu's body...... Since then, China's basketball world has truly broken away from the Yao Ming era and truly stepped into a brand-new and brilliant Zhongyu era!

At this time, the atmosphere in the NBA has been unprecedentedly solemn, and labor contract negotiations are about to begin...... The heads of the NBA players' union, Fisher and Paul, they are in full swing.

And the owners of NBA teams are gearing up for a bloodless war.

NBA players, they have to fight ...... If you don't fight, you can't do it......

Otherwise, you can look at the harsh and inhumane demands made by the bosses.

The veteran who has played the longest time has a total five-year salary of less than $60 million, which means that the average annual salary is less than $12 million; The rookie's maximum salary is well below $500,000; Guaranteed contracts may only account for half of all contracts, and after a certain period, half of the players are in danger; Even the so-called veteran clause and middle-class clause that even fans are familiar with no longer exist...... The most frightening of all is that contracts signed before 2011 must be curtailed to accommodate the new collective bargaining agreement if it contradicts it. That means that even if James, Wade and Bosh were offered big contracts early in 2010, they would be forced to revise their previous contracts. Zhong Yu's 'Zhong Yu clause will also be the same, and it needs to be forcibly stripped away......

The impact of Yao Ming's retirement is still in sight, and the excessive demands of the NBA bosses and the upcoming labor negotiations are also weighing on Zhong Yu's mind.

At times like these, it's inevitable to feel that the future is bleak – where do you go from here if the NBA is disbanded? Do you want to go back to the CBA and be a scoring champion?

Thinking about this, Zhong Yu didn't feel good in his heart......

However, if you really want to make the players compromise, the loss of their interests is too great, and it is still okay for a top player like Zhong Yu and them...... After all, their main income is not in salary...... But what about the other players? What about second- and third-rate players who need to live on their salaries?

Moreover, if there is a compromise, there will be a second time for the first time, and there will be a third time with a second time......

They can't afford to lose......

It's a war for the players that they can't afford to lose.

This war may continue indefinitely, and the 202012 season may be reimbursed.

Zhong Yu's brilliant career may suffer a heavy setback!
