On July 1, Zhou Xuan participated in the Guangzhou basketball event as an image ambassador. In the square, he delivered a speech about the future development of Chinese basketball. The Basketball Association knew Zhou Xuan's idea and had discussed it before, but did not stop it. The Basketball Association cannot control Zhou Xuan, he can say whatever he wants, even if it is to put pressure on the Basketball Association. "Many netizens have posted to discuss whether I will participate in the Asian Championships this summer, hoping that I will participate. Here I can give you a clear answer, I will not participate in Asian-level competitions." Zhou Xuan told the fans. Many people were immediately disappointed. Zhou Xuan continued: "I am not participating, not because I have no physical strength, want to rest, or any other reason. But I think this spot should be given to young players, players with potential, so that they can practice. Even if they lose, If they realize their shame and act bravely, it will be good for the future of Chinese basketball. If I participate and lead the team to win the Asian championship, will everyone gain confidence from this? What results can the team achieve after I leave? "We all know that basketball is a holistic sport. My four championships are not based on personal ability." The fans didn't interrupt. Zhou Xuan said seriously: "Before Yao Ming entered the national team, we were invincible in Asia." A strong team. Note that I said invincible. No team can pose a threat to us. In the past, every player in the national team was the core of their respective teams. Wu, Sun Jun, I won¡¯t list them one by one. Think about these names. Each of them scored more than 2 points in a single game in the league, and they also performed 30 or 40 points from time to time. "What about the fans now? They all felt that the topic was a bit heavy. Now, as Liu Wei, Zhu Fangyu, Du Feng and others age, the Chinese team's strength on the outside is already weaker than its Asian opponents. Although there are more and more big players on the inside, it is far less dominant than Yao Ming, Wang Zhizhi, and Battelle. . In the current EA League, foreign players play the absolute leading role. No matter inside or outside, it is basically foreign players who compete with foreign players. The task of Chinese players is more to play a supporting role and shoot open three-pointers created by foreign players. Zhou Xuan said loudly: "The false prosperity of the EA League is the reason why the Chinese men's basketball team is slipping into the abyss. Our players are gradually being marginalized. This must change. The players of the national team must be the core of each team. Instead of role players, I looked at the scoring list of the EA League last season and read a set of distressing data. In the scoring ranking list of the season, there are no Chinese players at all among the top two players, even in the scoring list. Among the top 40, only the names of two Chinese players, Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhelin, were found. Is this okay? " "No" the fans shouted together. The basketball association officials collectively sweated wildly. The lifeless fans were led by Zhou Xuanyi and felt like they were about to revolt. If Zhou Xuanlai said, "These Basketball Association guys are the sinners of Chinese basketball," fans might rush up and beat him up. Zhou Xuan has already saved face for the people of the Basketball Association. The most ironic thing is that in the best lineup of the last EA League ranked by "Asian Basketball Network" in 2015, local Chinese players only accounted for two seats. It is obvious that EA, known as the "second largest basketball league in the world", has now completely transformed into a showplace where foreign players dominate. Time flies and stars change. In today's EA League, everything has undergone irreversible changes. When people are obsessed with the arrival of many big-name NHA foreign players on the court, when people are excited to show off the CHA Finals' ratings of over 100 million viewers. , the Chinese men¡¯s basketball team has frequently failed in international competitions. The Asian hegemon status was made in his hands, and he was scratched to find his teeth in many international events, and he couldn't find the north by the team. South Korean media classifies China as second-rate in Asia, coaches believe that mainland players do not use their brains to play, and the Japanese laugh at China's habitual laxity. All this is thanks to the prosperous EAR Jingying people. How can such a league cultivate core players? Although this kind of league looks good, is it long-term? Can such a league promote the overall development of Chinese basketball? Many people believe that the problem of Chinese basketball lies in the weak foundation of youth. In fact, this is not the case. Facts have shown that Chinese youth basketball has repeatedly achieved great results in international competitions, and it has an overwhelming advantage in Asia. Talented children are hailed as stars of hope. However, when they enter the "frog-boiling" environment of the EA League, they gradually transform into mediocre people who can only shoot and even fade out of people's sight. In the past season, among the 94 players in the league who scored in double figures, the number of local players dropped sharply to 2. In the face of this set of shocking data, whose league is this? During the interaction with the fans, Zhou Xuan pointed out a series of shortcomings of the Chinese league and told everyone confidently. "Since I am the ambassador of EA, I don't want to see the image of Chinese basketball being half-dead." People in the Basketball Association can't even get angry. The results are here. Zhou Xuan's sarcasm is reasonable, and they can't hold it up.In the end, I can't even refute it. How to refute? Remove Zhou Xuan¡¯s image ambassador? Zhou Xuan almost doesn¡¯t need money. If he withdraws and hires someone at a high price, or someone with no ability, he will definitely be scolded by the fans. In China, it is easy for them to make a player¡¯s reputation bad by buying the media, so no player or coach dares. Offend the Basketball Association. But behind Zhou Xuan are the media from all over the world. The Chinese media have a monopoly in the country and they can do whatever they say. They don¡¯t dare to wade into this muddy water. They might end up being stink along with the Basketball Association. The most terrifying thing is that if he offends Zhou Xuan, he holds a press conference and says, "I decided to become an American citizen because the Basketball Association and the Chinese media make me sick." Then the Basketball Association officials should be invited to tea by big shots. . Check how many properties they have, asset registration, etc. Now the boss likes to do this. Zhou Xuan¡¯s change of nationality is not as simple as sending giant pandas abroad. The value of national treasures is also different. Zhou Xuan's suggestion is: "It's not too late to break or establish. Since you are no longer the boss, it is better to learn from the current boss." In recent years, the Iranian men's basketball team has grown rapidly and has replaced the Chinese team as the real hegemon in Asia. On the other hand, the Iranian Basketball League , regardless of its scale and influence, it is far less than the EA League in full swing in China. So, what makes the Iranian men's basketball team stand out among the others in Asia? The reason is simple, because the Iranian league is more pragmatic. Iran's professional league regulations stipulate that each team is only allowed to sign one foreign player during the regular season, and only teams that enter the playoffs can add another foreign player. As an Iranian basketball person said, "What we hope to see is more and more young players emerging, rather than letting some outdated foreign players get beautiful statistics and high salaries." EA League's excessive use of foreign players Dependence is eroding the body of Chinese basketball like a nightmare. In just five or six years, the huge fracture surface of Chinese basketball talents has been cruelly revealed in front of people. China's Mesozoic players, who are in their prime of playing, seem to have a youthful appearance in the international arena that is "intended to serve the country but unable to save the world." Zhou Xuan said: "You can't have your cake and eat it too, it's time to make a choice. If we are used to appreciating the dazzling beauty of epiphyllum, then don't complain about the short-lived pleasure. When we rely on and rely on a bunch of foreign aid today While you are making waves, you must be mentally prepared to be beaten black and blue in the international arena tomorrow. I know that some people turned a blind eye to this predicament out of self-interest, and no one stood up to take responsibility, nor did they take any action. Because of this, no one has lost their hat, but they are swaggering through the market. "Is this normal?" "Do we want to change?" "We want to change." Zhou Xuan said with a smile: "Is this normal?" I hope the officials can seriously consider this plan and do it boldly. I also hope that if we limit the number of foreign players, the fans will not complain that the game is ugly. Even Durant has gone from being a blacksmith to being the leading scorer.¡± He clapped and didn't stop until he wanted to continue talking and wave. The plan proposed by Zhou Xuan is very simple: each team can only freely choose one foreign player, and there is no limit on playing time. There is no doubt that foreign aid has injected vitality and excitement into the EA League, but the damage caused by excessive use of foreign aid to the development of Chinese basketball cannot be ignored. It's time to make changes. Appropriate reduction of foreign aid does not mean losing the excitement of the game. On the contrary, it will make the EA League more intense and real, and will allow more Chinese players to have more room for growth. The EA League has truly become a training ground for cultivating Chinese basketball talents. When EAR is no longer the only stage for foreign players, the renaissance of the Chinese men's basketball team will truly begin. After the event, the Basketball Association immediately held a meeting to seriously discuss the feasibility of Zhou Xuan's statement. "If Zhou Xuan didn't say these words, they would never discuss it until Chinese basketball becomes Chinese football. What they consider is not how to cultivate talents or how to make domestic players higher standards, but how to make money and how to attract audiences. Then divide the big cake. But they also understand that with poor results in international competitions, one day the fans will no longer buy in. At that time, EA will only be like the Chinese Super League, with sponsors too lazy to take care of it and black whistles and match-fixing everywhere. When that day comes, it will be useless to arrest a group of officials involved in football. Many fans lamented that Zhou Xuan is not just a leader on the court. If he were the chairman of the Basketball Association, he might be able to lead the EAl to conduct drafts and become NH professional. He dares to think, speak, and act. Only leaders will dare to make changes. Those who hold on to the wrong things and remain unchanged will not be able to turn things into a positive direction.
