“Xinjiang club has made great contributions to Chinese basketball in the past 20 years. We respect his decision and express regret. Our current job is to go all out to play the league and bring the game back to the fans. At the same time, we will solve all the follow-up work under the existing procedural conditions.”
After Yao Ming, the chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, made such a response, the two-year contract dispute between Zhou Qi and Xinjiang Guanghui men’s basketball seemed to have a rest. The reason was very simple, the Basketball Association has previously issued a penalty notice for Xinjiang men’s basketball. Xinjiang men’s basketball said that it would not accept it and chose to withdraw from CBA. Now the Basketball Association’s statement is not good. In fact, it is only four words, if you go well, don’t send it “.
At present, Guanghui Group will still withdraw from CBA, but Xinjiang will stay there men’s basketball. Basketball is a link and a bridge. Xinjiang cannot live without professional basketball.
However, the Xinjiang team and Zhou Qi sent open letters to each other, which is not repeated here. What deserves attention is that in the announcement that Xinjiang team announced its withdrawal from CBA, he also pointed the spearhead at the Chinese Basketball Association and even Yao Ming, the president of the Basketball Association. Earlier in men’s basketball, Xinjiang, there was a statement, which also pointed out that Yao Ming was not only responsible for the overall work of the Chinese Basketball Association, but also the chairman of the board of CBA company, that is, the so-called “management office is not divided”.
But in fact, the so-called “no division of management” is not something that Yao Ming can solve alone. Like the Chinese Basketball League and Football Association, it is said to be a social organization, but it has never been divorced from the General Administration of Sports, how to talk about complete separation of management? Moreover, although Yao Ming is also the chairman of CBA company, over the past two years, Yao Ming has actually faded out of the daily management of CBA company. Xinjiang team, as a member of CBA club, it is impossible not to know such a situation.
But the public probably doesn’t know. What the public didn’t even know, or what could arouse public sentiment more, was actually this passage in the announcement of the Xinjiang team, “At present, the intermediate business of CBA alliance is highly concentrated, and the coach qualification training of Basketball Association, many businesses, such as broker qualification identification, youth basketball events, as well as the agent business and title sponsor business of CBA Alliance, are undertaken by a sports management company in large quantities or even exclusively. Why is this? Why?? Why??! There are more……”
Three reasons, five question marks, plus exclamation marks and ellipsis. After seeing the confrontation between two football clubs in Wuhan and the Chinese Football Association before, such words severely shocked the public nerves.
After verifying this passage, we know that “a sports management company” here is actually Zhong Hui Sports. Yao Ming, the brokerage company of Yao Ming, was also an investor of this company, however, after Yao Ming became the chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association in 2017, he had already stepped down from the company and withdrew all the shares of the company. In fact, Yao Ming had already withdrawn all the shares he held.
As mentioned in the announcement, on the issue of coach qualification training of Basketball Association, Zhong Hui currently has the qualification of Chinese Basketball Association’s D-level and e-level coach training. This qualification is not exclusive. China Basketball Association has authorized many provinces, the qualification of the municipal Basketball Association to set up such training is only taking Beijing as an example. Except Zhonghui, Beijing Basketball Association, Capital Institute of Physical Education and two other basketball training institutions have the qualification of e-level coach training, can Start class teaching certificate.
As for the qualification of brokers, Zhong Hui was authorized by the Human Resources Development Center of the General Administration of Sports and the professional skills appraisal and Guidance Center in 2017, and became the authorized institution for grade training of sports brokers. However, the brokers trained here, it is a sports agent in a broad sense. With this certificate, you cannot represent CBA players. If you want to represent CBA players, you must pass the agent training and assessment of China Basketball Association and obtain the brokerage qualification of China Basketball Association, the organizer of this training is the technical department of China Basketball Association, not Zhonghui sports.
The so-called youth basketball events and many other businesses, the small basketball projects currently promoted by the Chinese Basketball Association have been delegated to various local basketball associations, including the final finals of the last six regions. The Basketball Association will find the organizer to do it, zhong Hui did not participate. As for the NYBO national youth basketball open, it is a project hatched by Zhong Hui himself, and the funds are self-raised.
In addition to the broker business of CBA alliance, Zhong Hui currently owns the brokerage rights of Yi Jianlian, Zhang Zhenlin and others, but as far as I know, there are only a few people. The brokerage rights of nearly 300 CBA players are all in Zhong Hui, is it possible? The brokerage rights of Zhou Qi, Wang Zhilin and Ding Yan Yuhang are in Zhong Hui?
The last is “title sponsor business”. People with a little brand experience know that many companies with investment demand will authorize an investment agency for advertising companies. You helped me to sponsor, you can charge a certain agency fee. CBA company has investment agency, and Zhong Hui also has the qualification to accept relevant business from CBA company in a legal and compliant way.
The announcement said that “a large number of contractors or even exclusive contractors”, which business is a large number of contractors? Which exclusive undertaking? Xinjiang men’s basketball is vague, but it has left a lot of imagination space for the people who eat melons.
In communicating with some insiders, we all felt that the accusation of Xinjiang men’s basketball was groundless. If you have evidence, you can go to the relevant departments to report and expose it. If there is no evidence, you should state it truthfully, rather than deliberately covering it up, or even the suspicion of splashing dirty water.
Of course, Xinjiang men’s basketball did not specify the company name, which could help them avoid risks, but in fact, it has already affected Yao Ming’s reputation and also had a negative impact on Chinese basketball and Chinese sports.
If the business dealings between Zhonghui sports and China Basketball Association and CBA company are legal, compliant and in line with the process, then Yao Ming should face the challenge. The Qing dynasty was self-identified. Now it is closed, but the population is real. The reporter has been interviewing for many years, and some people know the situation. If they don’t know it, they can ask for more information, but the people who eat melons don’t have the time and energy to do this. If you say it in Xinjiang men’s basketball, then I believe it.
I also wrote a comment earlier that the Chinese Basketball Association should also give a clear and clear explanation when punishing Xinjiang men’s basketball. Where Xinjiang violates regulations and where the punishment is based should be explained, rather than simply publishing the punishment result.
Football is not far away. The public’s trust in Chinese football is declining year by year. The Silence of Chinese basketball at this time will also bury the seeds of doubt in the public’s mind. The storm of Xinjiang men’s basketball is gradually subside now, but what if the next time, there is another spearhead pointing to the Chinese Basketball Union Yao Ming?
