Chapter 616 You Are Really Born For Basketball
Who is calling? ——The banner of domestic basketball, Yao Ming.

Yao Ming?Why is he calling me at this time?Oh, I should have heard from Coach Li that I'm going back to China.

Thinking of this, Tang Qian collected himself, then connected the phone and said, "Hello Brother Yao, long time no see."

"Hi, Xiaotang, 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 asked directly without hiding it.In fact, Yao Ming mentioned this matter last time at the Yao restaurant in Houston, and Tang Qian 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..."

Unexpectedly, Yao Ming's mind was spinning quickly, and he blurted out in an instant: "What kind of problem is this? You should accompany your parents. You can bring your parents to Shanghai together. By the way, let the elderly also enjoy the wonderful scenery of the Huangpu River." What?" Yao Ming's ability to successfully transfer from an athlete's status to the business and political circles in the future is by no means comparable to that of ordinary people, and he solved all Tang Qian's "worries" at once.

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

Seeing that Yao Ming talked about this, Tang Qian would be a little "hypocritical" and "deliberate" to evade, so he said to the phone: "Okay, Brother Yao, then I will trouble you."

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

Tang Qian thought for a while, and said, "Well, I guess it takes four. Brother Yao, I have another one here..."

"Haha~ no problem, no problem~ it's settled like this, I'll send it to you when it's made~" Yao Ming smiled heartily, hung up the phone without asking any more questions, which made Tang Qian feel relieved. Lots of explaining and embarrassment.

Brother Yao, his EQ is unexpectedly high, no wonder the future is doing so well~
Tang Qian didn't know that Yao Ming would eventually be promoted directly to "Chairman Yao" and become the true leader of Chinese basketball.

The speed of Yao Ming's work was indeed swift. It didn't take long for Tang Qian's mobile phone to receive a text message. There were four tickets in total, all of which were first class.When Tang Qian said something at lunch, Tang's parents and Tang's mother nodded in agreement, and Taylor didn't say anything else, but looked extremely looking forward to it.

Since it was a 6:2 p.m. flight, after lunch, Tang Qian's family packed up without haste.Then the family chartered a taxi and went straight to the airport.The journey time was not long, only about 8 hours in total, so Tang Qian's family arrived in Shanghai after [-] o'clock in the evening.

As soon as they came out, someone picked them up with a sign. Tang Qian called Yao Ming to confirm, and then followed these people into the car and went directly to the XXXX five-star hotel in Shanghai.Going out for a stroll with my parents at night is the end of the day.

Early the next morning, Tang Qian received a call from Yao Ming who asked if Tang Qian had woken up.

After Tang Qian went downstairs, he walked up to a huge custom-made car. As soon as the door opened, a familiar face said, "Hello, Xiao Tang, we meet again." After Tang Qian got into the car, he nodded and said: "Yeah, brother Yao, how are you doing recently?"

After the car started, Yao Ming shrugged his shoulders and said: "It's not very good. The road to full professionalization in China is still very difficult. I'm just a person who eats crabs." This is the truth. Yao Ming wants to promote full professionalism in the CBA. The process of professionalization, but the first to bear the brunt is the problem of his old friend Liu Wei, a veteran defender of the national team.Because if you want to operate the NBA, you must take rational measures to deal with things, and firing your mentor Li Qiuping is only the first step. The second part is to use captain Liu Wei as a bargaining chip and put it on the trading table.

This may be a very normal thing in the United States and in the NBA, but in China, hehe, Yao Ming has been given the infamy of "ungrateful" and "ruthless".No way, the country still adopts the "semi-professional operation mode", where human feelings outweigh rationality. Under heavy pressure, Yao Ming can only renew his contract with Liu Wei.But even so, it still couldn't stop the leisurely mouths of some troublemakers.

This made Yao Ming feel for the first time how difficult it is to implement a fully professional operation strategy in the CBA, because most people, including those in the circle, think that "fraternity" is greater than "business is business."This is something that has been deeply rooted in the country since the beginning of the establishment of the league.Even within the big shark itself, there were a lot of voices of accusation.

For example, Shan Zhenhao, the team translator and video analyst of the Sharks, once said that the CBA is now only a semi-professional league, and it is too early to talk about full-professionalization and business. , a bit too much.Because the CBA will definitely not become like the NBA in a short time.If you insist on doing this and feel that the NBA is right, please show your results.Who is the target of these remarks?Of course it is the new boss, Yao Ming.

This also reflects the status quo of the entire domestic basketball circle. Professionals are all so "short-sighted" and call "full-professional operation" "unfeeling", let alone ordinary people.So Yao Ming was in the country during this time, almost "verbal criticism", and it was not easy at all.

Tang Qian, who has memories of the next few years, of course knows Yao Ming's difficulties. The big guy in front of him wants to be the "pioneer" of domestic professional basketball and the first "crab eater". Unfortunately, he introduced Many NBA operating strategies have had little effect within a few years.In this way, the voice of sarcasm and ridicule followed.

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

In the end, Yao Ming had no choice but to abandon the "foreign handsome route" and switch to "national handsome" again. Because of several years of rebuffs, he and his team finally understood that some things cannot be accomplished overnight.Even though the technical and tactical level of foreign coaches is generally higher than that of domestic coaches, they are not familiar with domestic basketball culture. This is the deadliest thing.

Because the CBA is ultimately China's basketball league, not the United States.

The long-term player fixation and immobility, wanting to rely on a team to break it is simply whimsical.

After Yao Ming and Tang Qian talked about their team’s troubles, Tang Qian said in a surprising way: “Brother Yao, I think you should give up foreign coaches for the time being and re-enable domestic coaches. Then the management system should not be completely mechanical from the beginning. The loose model of the NBA, after all, our domestic players have been used to being controlled, and suddenly the standard has changed to the NBA model, and they will not adapt to it and eventually become a wild horse."

"Oh? Do you understand the team's operations?" Yao Ming asked with a little interest.

Just kidding, how do I understand, this is all your own future corrections, I just borrowed flowers to present 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 operating for decades, so it seems stable and has sufficient clinical experience. But in fact, for our current As far as basketball is concerned, it is still too advanced, and we should increase our efforts little by little, which may be more effective than applying rote methods at once.” Tang Qian said: “Even in the NBA, it was not so perfect from the beginning. The mechanism, such a perfect charter, has also slowly evolved and transitioned through 60~70 years. So at present, I think that the domestic league does not have a fixed business model at all. After this year's season is over, we will discuss it What to do next year, even if it is said to reduce the number of regular season games, it will definitely do harm to a healthy and developing league."

"Well, it makes sense." Yao Ming thought for a while and said, "About standardization, this is indeed a major problem in the current league. In the past, the CBA also had 50 games in a season, but now the 'talker' has changed. 'Finally, everything is only in line with the national team. In order to prepare for international competitions and increase training time, the above has cut the regular season to 30+ games. This is really not strong enough for a complete league operation, and there are too few games. Furthermore, the "Spring Festival Game" that I proposed to the higher authorities to imitate the NBA's "Christmas Game" was also directly rejected, thinking that it was too "humane" and "cruel" for athletes."

"Well, there is also the 'military expansion plan' that is being discussed above. There are more than 30 regular season games in one season, and we want to add another 4 to 5 teams. This is really not a 'specific analysis of specific issues' at all. Ah. You must know that the current domestic basketball environment simply cannot breed so many professional athletes, nor can it breed so many professional coaches and other supporting professions. Forcing this will only make the league's prices skyrocket. Players Bewitched by the superficial prosperity, he no longer devotes himself so seriously to professional training. Not to mention our CBA, even the NBA, the massive military expansion in the 60s and 70s, didn’t it cause a lot of turmoil? If it weren’t for David Stern turned out to turn the tide, and the so-called NBA league may have long been obsolete."

"But the NBA has David Stern. How about us? Who is there now? Who is willing to stand up and lead?" Yao Ming said with a troubled expression, "Well, in fact, I personally think that even if there is a domestic David Stern, he is useless, because generally speaking, it is still the above-mentioned 'one word'."

Tang Qian thought for a while, and then made a suggestion: "Brother Yao, so I think everything should start from the 'baby'." "From the baby? What does that mean?" Yao Ming asked.

"Anyway, the soil of this generation is already difficult to change, so it's better to simply..." Tang Qian made a "one size fits all" gesture and said: "Cultivate the soil directly by yourself, and then fundamentally change the status quo of domestic basketball. And the timing of the output is..."

Tang Qian is also "borrowing flowers to present 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 cannot be changed, then I will 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" will not be effective in a few years or even seven or eight years. This 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, the Rockets No. 11 would have no need to do this.

"Well, that's a good idea, but I'm alone..." Yao Ming also has difficulties. After all, it's only 2013. In fact, even in the original time and space, the NBA Yao Ming School can't make money by just collecting tuition fees. The reason for losing money is that Yao Ming has a good image, so he has attracted many sponsors, which solves the urgent need at the beginning.

"It's okay, Brother Yao, if you don't mind, I can come with you, how about we invest in this 'soil project' together?" Tang Qian suggested, this is what he especially wanted to do in his previous life.Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world.Although he is far from being a "da" now, he has the qualifications to help Yao Ming and help the domestic basketball world to do his best.

Yao Ming was taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "You want to do it with me?"

"That's right." Tang Qian nodded and said, "I just want to see that basketball can really thrive in China in my lifetime. In order to achieve this goal, I am willing to contribute." "Okay!" Yao Ming said suddenly: "I really didn't Misunderstood you! Xiao Tang, you are different from most domestic basketball players."

"You're a guy who really lives for basketball."

……

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

The sudden appearance of Tang Qian gave these young people a great surprise, and soon they swarmed up and surrounded Tang Qian. It looked like Tang Qian looked at NBA stars in his previous life.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, since I invited Tang Qian today, it won't be so easy to let him go away. Everyone will have the opportunity to receive Tang Qian's close guidance later." Yao Ming After finishing speaking, he bowed his head and joked with Tang Qian: "Sure enough, the waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead. Look at me, no one is chasing me now~"

Tang Qian smiled and said: "Brother Yao, you are too humble. You are the banner figure of Chinese basketball. I have admired you since I was very young."

"Haha, lie, lie~" Yao Ming also laughed and said, "I will trouble you today, help guide these young children, they are the future of our big sharks." "No problem, Brother Yao." Tang Qian promised, "I will try 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 they not won in the Olympics?Especially after watching the video replay of the NBA Finals today, this feeling deepened a bit.

Don’t be afraid of starting late, just be afraid of staying in the same place~ I hope the earth kiln can make some achievements~
