Chapter 544 Dayao calls, shortcomings of mens basketball
When he was leaving, he saw Jokic's reluctant expression. It was definitely not that he couldn't bear to part with himself, but that he couldn't bear to part with his burger. Wang Zelin was really angry and wanted to laugh about this.
Fortunately, Jokic seems to be very obedient. As long as he strictly follows the plan, he can still lose this weight.
After returning home from the afternoon training, Wang Zelin had a video call with his parents for a while.
Recently, the royal father and queen mother couldn't sit still at home and went to XZ to see the Potala Palace. At first, they were planning to go on a self-driving tour, but after Wang Zelin told about the hidden dangers of self-driving tours and firmly opposed it,
The royal father and queen mother could not resist their son, so they gave up their plan of traveling around the world and signed up for a senior tour group.
Needless to say, sometimes the world between two people is too much. Occasionally joining a tour group or something does make people feel new and fresh. After all, people have always been social animals.
In the recent video calls, the two elders happily introduced their travel strategies as well as the beautiful scenery and interesting things they encountered along the way, and their faces were red with sunset when they smiled.
As for their son Wang Zelin?
According to Wang Zelin's own guess, if the second elder hadn't been impulsive when he was young, he might not even know about it.
Therefore, Wang Zelin, who feeds Yi Bei a lot of dog food every time he makes a video call, sometimes wonders if he is the only superfluous person in the family.
During the more than ten minutes of the video call, Wang Zelin ate a mouthful of dog food. The most important thing was that after knowing that his parents were in good health, he quickly hung up the phone.
Not long after hanging up the phone, Wang Zelin found an extra text message on his phone from Dayao:
Have you eaten?
He made a phone call and after a brief exchange of greetings, he quickly got down to business.
Mainly I talked with Dayao about running for the chairman of the Basketball Association.
To be honest, according to the personalities of the big bosses in the Sports Bureau and the people within the Basketball Association in the past, as long as the results in the last World Series were good, their desire to actively seek change was very low.
Anyway, the Tianchao men's basketball team led by Wang Zelin is guaranteed to reach the top 8 in the World Series. The previous World Cup in Spain even historically won a silver medal. This was something that was simply unimaginable before.
The leaders of the Basketball Association, led by the Information Management Bureau, naturally want to maintain the status quo and rely on Wang Zelin to reap the rewards.
If the people above don't want to move, it's useless no matter how hard the people below try.
But if the person who took the initiative to seek change was Dayao, then the situation would be different.
First of all, Dayao's influence in the country is huge, and he was even more popular during his playing days. Whenever he releases the news that he wants to run for the chairman of the Basketball Association, it will 100% trigger a lot of public opinion among the players and the media.
Secondly, after retiring, Dayao had clear pursuits and had already formulated corresponding plans. After officially announcing his retirement in 2011, Dayao had already made preparations to join politics. In 2013, Dayao was elected to the 12th National Congress.
Member of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference, fully prepared for joining the Basketball Association in the future.
Finally, there is someone behind the person.
Precisely because there was someone behind him who was easy to do, he was able to go from retirement to joining the Basketball Association in the original time and space, which only took 6 years.
At the age of 37, he holds the position of the first brother of the Basketball Association. In the political field, he can be called an absolute rising star in the political arena with an unlimited future.
The above is the development trajectory of Dayao in the political arena in the original time and space.
The variable Wang Zelin appeared in this time and space, and his ambitions also expanded rapidly.
He wants to join the Basketball Association this year!
Who said that before Wang Zelin participated in the draft, he vowed in front of him that he would definitely support his candidacy for the director of the Basketball Association in the future?
But don't forget, people's hearts will always change with the passage of time. At this time, Dayao was not sure whether Wang Zelin would still remember his old promise.
Therefore, before he decided to run for the chairman of the Basketball Association this year, he communicated with Wang Zelin in advance, and fortunately the latter did not disappoint him.
"Brother Yao, I will support you. Those directors must be you!"
Wang Zelin gave Dayao a positive reply on the phone.
This was also the promise he made to Yao Ming.
After ending the topic of "joining the Basketball Association", the two began to discuss the future of the national team. Dayao asked Wang Zelin about the current thinking of building the national team and what additional comments he had.
Wang Zelin is also outspoken. He believes in Yao Ming. He was an idol in his previous life and is a good friend in this life, although the two of them are almost becoming "good friends" in private.
Even though the age difference between the two is more than one round, Wang Zelin, who is only in his third year of career, has achieved achievements that Dayao has found difficult to match in his entire career, both in terms of personal honors and team achievements.
In this way, Wang Zelin, who has reached the highest peak in the field of basketball, naturally has a much different vision than before.
More importantly, as a latecomer, some of his opinions and suggestions made Dayao feel bright at times.
After chatting for a while, the two reached an agreement on the biggest shortcomings of the men's basketball team. To sum up, an old saying can best describe it:
Born in sorrow, died in happiness.
Because compared with the NBA, and even the European Basketball League, the systems of the CBA are different.
Let’s use an analogy.
CBA is like a public institution. You have to clock in and clock in anyway. As long as you don't make big mistakes, you will earn a living. After living in this environment for a long time, naturally no one is willing to put in the effort to polish their body and specialize in technology.
In fact, let alone superb skills, let’s just talk about the most basic basic basketball skills of free throws. The current group of men’s basketball players are far behind their predecessors such as the 94 generation and the 08 generation.
At the end of the chat, Wang Zelin and Dayao returned to a common topic about CBA reform, that is, the issue of introducing foreign aid.
This issue is very sensitive because it basically touches the interests of certain players and the players' backgrounds.
Since the CBA limits the number of foreign players, there are many job opportunities for domestic players, so there is no one to push you forward, and you end up being content with the status quo.
However, once restrictions on foreign aid are lifted, many people are worried that the living space of local players will be further squeezed. After strong pressure, local players will become weaker.
Yao Ming, who has not officially announced his candidacy for men's basketball chairman, has also been troubled by this issue for a long time.
"Zelin, I have actually heard about the Spanish Serie A that you mentioned is completely open to foreign aid, but I still feel that it is not in line with our national conditions..."
Dayao complained to Wang Zelin on the phone about the difficulty of "the water here is too deep." Only after joining the political arena did he realize that many things were not as easy as he thought before.
Wang Zelin didn't know what to say about this.
The national conditions are something that even laymen like Wang Zelin understand more or less, let alone a rising political star like Yao Yao who has extremely high political awareness.
But in the end, the two of them still thought:
The road is tortuous, but the future is bright. New things will surely defeat the old.
