Two small compositions in seven or eight hours shocked the Chinese basketball scene and even made headlines.
The Xinjiang team released a 5-page A4 paper announcement, and Zhou Qi hit back on Weibo with a 4000 or 5000-word long article. Mutual tearing is the easiest to expose details. This period of more than two years of public cases finally has more heated discussions on the streets and lanes.
However, the CBA table has been overturned, and good wine and dishes cannot be eaten. Who will clean up this smashed mess?
This evening, there were originally 8 games to start. This was the first time in three years that the epidemic had a main away game, but now it has become 7 games. The Beijing team spent four hours flying to Urumqi, I practiced all afternoon yesterday and was ready to return home with 20-0.
Everyone is talking about Xinjiang team and Zhou Qi, not Shandong to Liaoning, or Guangdong to Shanxi.
The incident did not have to come to this step.
Yesterday morning, the staff of Xinjiang TV station went to the Olympic Sports Center to cloth wire frame machines, and found that the platform that should be built at the host was not built. This platform was prepared by the club, and the tripod of the camera was opened, it takes up several rows of seats. They had no choice but to replace them with two tables, which were wobbly.
It doesn’t matter whether it is shaking or not. It is not sure whether the game will be played the next day. They are ready to play other games. In case Xinjiang team abandons the game, Taiwan will broadcast Guangdong and Shanxi.
Originally, at 10 o’clock yesterday morning, the club had to issue a statement announcing the abandonment of the match, but the club said to postpone it for an hour. It seemed that it had received instructions from somewhere and might not quit. But an hour later, he said to postpone for an hour, and then there will be no news.
No one knows what decision the Xinjiang team will make, even the team members do not know. Some team members asked Xinjiang Taiwan whether to fight tomorrow night?
Since the Basketball Association issued a punishment decision, Xinjiang Guanghui club has always refused to accept it, saying that if the basketball association does not withdraw the punishment, it will not rule out the club’s withdrawal from CBA.
In the later time, the chairman Guo Zhun said “retreat” every time he met the media “.
The General Administration of Sports sent officials to Xinjiang. Gao Zhidan, the director of the General Administration, also made an appointment with the top management of the club. Director Guo flew to Beijing.
Yesterday morning, the Xinjiang team did not train in the Olympic Sports Center, but the club said it had practiced at the base. Beijing Shougang went to practice in the morning, but he couldn’t enter the museum. He didn’t practice until the afternoon.
The whole afternoon was bad news. At this time, Chairman Guo didn’t answer the phone, so I had to leave a message to him. Mr. Guo, the Xinjiang team couldn’t retreat. It was too passive and the back was out of control.
The Xinjiang team and I still have some feelings. After going through the battle era to the Zhou Qi era, I have traveled more times to Xinjiang than anywhere outside my hometown. On the night they won the championship, I drank with their president Hou and director Li in the street stall.
I don’t want this team to quit. If I quit, I won’t come back. There are too many bosses who want to enter CBA outside the door to break their heads.
But it was almost 12 o’clock in the evening, and I was going to sleep. A few pictures of the Xinjiang team’s withdrawal statement came from my friends on my mobile phone, and the words were as fierce as before.
Xu Jicheng, the new vice chairman of the Basketball Association, arrived in Xinjiang yesterday afternoon. It seems that Xu could not persuade the Xinjiang team to turn back.
Chairman Guo said that Guanghui withdrew from CBA, and the board of directors had already made a decision. If this decision was to be revoked, the basketball association would revoke the punishment unless before 12 pm.
Investor Sun Guangxin, Boss Sun, was still in Urumqi a week ago and had already gone abroad at this time.
I don’t want the Xinjiang team to quit and hope Zhou Qi can play the ball. Zhou Qi is the tactical Foundation of China’s men’s basketball and the cornerstone of the World Cup. He lost the 2019 World Cup, I should be the only person in the media who publicly appealed not to storm Zhou Qi online-every word of your abuse is like a bullet.
But these two wishes seem difficult to realize at the same time.
The essence of this event is that CBA high-level athletes are scarce.
To put it bluntly, there are too few stars, and the club wants to keep them at all costs, and at the same time they start vicious competition. In order to prevent CBA from mistakenly entering the Kingyuan era, Yao Ming imposed a salary limit order and gave the club the right to renew the top salary first, but it also hurt the right of high-level athletes to move freely.
In order to fight for rights, Zhou Qi went to Australia to play basketball. He saw that the environment was not as good as CBA. His skills might be abandoned and he came back again. Because he had a new foreign coach FIFA World Cup qualification, his mind must be on the national team. In the past three years, CBA has been tortured by the epidemic, and the Basketball Association has been the same. They have received an arbitration application. The epidemic has been superimposed and changed, and the arbitration has been dragged to the nearest.
The xinjiang team said in a statement that yao ming was not only the chairman of the basketball association but also the chairman of the CBA. It was both reasonable and unreasonable. It makes sense because it is indeed the case. It doesn’t make sense because yao ming has completely handed over the CBA operation to the CBA company in the past two years. For this reason, many investors and general managers have great opinions, saying that he doesn’t care about CBA. In fact, the Chinese Basketball Association has completely sold the equity of CBA.
However, CBA has a history of nearly 30 years. Even if it is a shareholding system and shareholders vote, the past history has left a lot of thunder. There is a saying that rivers and lakes are not fighting and killing, rivers and lakes are worldly wisdom, and the history of CBA is actually a history of worldly wisdom. The Xinjiang team said, we do not violate the rules. This is the current situation of CBA, and norms are interwoven with human and worldly wisdom.
Why don’t I advocate a break and don’t want the Xinjiang team to quit? First, it is not easy for the Xinjiang team to do it now. Second, the CBA plate is too small to withstand the toss.
First of all, the plate of CBA is too fragile, and it is difficult to clean up without paying attention to it. When the year is good, Li Ning will give 5 years and 2 billion years. If the year is not good, it will be halved. Fortunately, there is also China Life Insurance. The money should not only pay dividends to the club, but also subsidize women’s basketball and youth basketball. In the past three years, the epidemic has made each team unable to sell tickets at home, and the loss is quite large. However, there are still some CBA dividends. Especially for small market teams like Jilin, dividends are still the biggest income. It will be very difficult to invest in the next investment if the mess is broken and the image of CBA is broken. Who is willing to invest in brands that always produce negative news?
Besides, the brand of Xinjiang team is regarded as a business card by the local government. Once it exits, there are only two results: either this shell is gone, just like Yunnan and Aoshen in those years, and now the shell of a CBA is worth several hundred million; Either the government of the autonomous region stepped in, looking for local state-owned enterprises to take over, I don’t know that Sun, who has operated the club for 20 years, is always not really willing.
The players of the Xinjiang team suffered. They played for nothing for more than half of the season, and now they are still ranked seventh. These players will be the target of each team. The club has been handed over to the Xinjiang Sports Bureau, and Guanghui will pay the salary until the team members find their next home.
This event occurs at the rule level, reflecting the current situation of CBA, imperfect rules and vulnerabilities in execution. At the same time, it is difficult for Yao Ming to find a perfect balance between investors and players, and finally choose to protect investors, because their investment is the basis for the existence of CBA market. Now, Zhou Qi stands out on behalf of players to protect their rights and interests, which is a counterattack against unequal rules.
But above the rules, there is higher politics.
Gao Zhidan, the new director of the General Administration of Sports, aimed his efforts at three big-ball sports and revitalized the basket and foot row. The reason for setting goals in this way is that we have successfully held the beijing summer olympics and the beijing winter olympics. The total number of gold medals is the highest in the world, and what we should do has been achieved, next, we should put up the basket-foot project that people like to see.
Therefore, this year’s Basketball World Cup is the top priority, and the World Cup team is a task that must be completed. However, at this critical moment, Zhou Qi, the pillar of China’s men’s basketball, had no ball to play. What happened?
If we can stand at this height, I believe Xinjiang team should have a better way to deal with it. Unfortunately, they chose to quit.
On that day, I replied to the message on WeChat public account. I said: When the basketball association made the punishment decision, it should be prepared for only 19 teams.
Because I added the word “should”, there were not many likes in this reply. It was blocked below and few people saw it.
