BEIJING, Dec. 26 (Xinhua) -- An extraordinary triumph came on an ordinary
Sunday night in Seoul, as team China beat South Korea 92-81 in the preliminaries
of the 2019 FIBA World Cup.
Nearly half of the guests' starters were absent from the game including
Houston Rockets' center Zhou Qi. But youngster Sun Minghui scored 21 points,
three rebounds and four assists, while Abdusalam contributed 15 points, seven
rebounds West
Virginia Mountaineers Women's Jersey , three blocks and three assists to
secure the victory for China.
However, only one year ago, it would have been nearly impossible for
Abdusalam and Sun to wear the national team jersey.
""I thought it was fake news when they told me I am in the national team,""
said Abdusalam. But the dual national team system created by Yao offered them
the chance to train with (and later become) China's best players.
An entirely new system has two teams led by a double-coaching system
consisting of Du Feng and Li Nan playing in different international competitions
before they merge into one in 2019 to prepare for the 2019 FIBA World Cup and
the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games.
And this is just one of those bold policies adopted by the newly-elected
Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) president, a man who needs no introduction,
Yao Ming.
Though he put on the orange Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame jacket
in
2016 Usc
Trojans Women's Jersey , 2017 is an even more remarkable year for Yao.
After an unanimous vote in February, he became the first-ever non-governmental
personage to take the presidency of the CBA. In July, he was elected as the
chairman of the board of the CBA company that owns China's top basketball
league. His Hall of Fame glory, it turned out, was just a new start to his
career, as Yao became the spearhead for China's basketball reform effort.
In part of a bigger reform triggered in China's sports
system Ucla
Bruins Women's Jersey , professionals, like Yao Ming and Jenny Lang Ping,
began to play important roles in sports associations. Take basketball as an
example, where the reform saw the tasks of an administrative center of
basketball, a sub-division of the State General Administration of Sports,
transferred to the
CBA Texas
Longhorns Women's Jersey , which means the association will take on full
responsibility for governing the sport in China. When the transition is
completed, the association will be responsible for the management of national
teams, leagues, youth development as well as the development of basketball in
society.
""This is a great step on the road to reforming Chinese basketball.
Meanwhile, we must realize that we still have a long way to go,"" said Yao.
As for the national
teams South
Carolina Gamecocks Women's Jersey , the long road started with a small but
significant change, as every potential national team member now receives an
invitation letter rather than a compulsory notification. They can choose to join
the team immediately or stick to a personal schedule first such as playing in
the NBA summer league or getting married. This change reflects an environment
where respected, allowing players like Ding Yanyuhang and Zhou Qi have a better
chance to dream big. Neither Yao nor Wang Zhizhi enjoyed this kind of privilege
in their career.
Just as he played in the paint for Houston, Yao was literally everywhere in
the CBA. He could show up at the CBA press conference held in Beijing in the
morning, talking in a meeting with China's basketball journalists in the
afternoon before going to a night state banquet focused on building
international cooperation. After the next day he is already sitting at a summit
in Shanghai answering questions. His personal life is not the only thing Yao has
given up, he also sold his share of CBA's Shanghai
side Penn
State Nittany Lions Women's Jersey , the team he played for before he went
to NBA in 2002. He waived the controlling shareholder role of a single team to
see the big picture of the whole CBA league.
The CBA league is by far one of the best pieces of sports IP and the biggest
attraction in the market of basketball in China. After Yao took in charge, the
league started a five-year plan of reform. There will be ten playoff teams
instead of the previous eight, and the number will increase to 12 in 2018-2019
season. The regular season will grow from 38 rounds to 56 rounds within five
years.
Yao's reform of the league also includes the design of a NBDL-like
development league to provide more opportunities to young players. More
fundamental work is being done like professional training of the judges, the CBA
draft and fitness tests.
""Investment isn't everything in the sports industry, gold medals aren't
everything for a strong sporting country,"" Yao said in his remarks at the
annual session of the 12th National Committee of the Chinese People's Political
Consultative Conference
(CPPCC) Oregon
Ducks Women's Jersey , China's top political advisory body.
China had already built much more than 600,000 basketball courts, showing
that the country realizes that a sole focus on professional games or national
teams would be not enough. Yao said that competitive sports, mass sports, the
sports industry, and sports culture must all advance shoulder to shoulder.
Yao and the CBA are now promoting basketball to people of all walks of
life Oklahoma
State Cowboys Women's Jersey , including children.
""Only by keeping our feet on the ground of history can we look up at the
starlit sky,"" said Yao when he visited the first basketball stadium of China in
Tianjin.
China's Basketball Hall of Fame will be built in 2019 as a testament to this
sport's importance in China. Yao advised that the authorities of education and
sports should join hands to build bridges for young players as this kind of
cooperation will boost mass sports. One example can be seen in Fuzhou of Fujian
Province, where 100 schools with basketball characteristics will be built as
part of the program.
More than once, Yao has stressed the potential of 3 on 3 basketball as a way
to develop this newest member of the Olympic fa
