Chapter 546 Everything is difficult at the beginning
After a series of preliminary preparations were completed, at 14:00 noon, Wang Zelin, Zhang Weiping, Su Wei, and Zhou Lin'an conducted an exclusive interview in a hall. The content of the interview was related to the chairman of the Basketball Association, the 2015 Men's Basketball Asian Championship and the past 16 years.
Three topics related to the Olympic Games.
Just yesterday, on the day when Wang Zelin and his teammates faced the Mavericks at home, across the ocean in China, Yao Ming had officially announced that he would run for president of the Basketball Association.
Considering Yao Ming's huge influence in the country, as soon as the news was released, it immediately aroused great public opinion among the fans and the media, and it even topped the list of trending searches for scarves overnight.
However, although the current trend of public opinion is beneficial to Yao Ming, there is still a long way to go before this public opinion can be truly transformed into a boost.
What Wang Zelin has to do now is to kick him!
"Dayao's love and contribution to the Tianchao Men's Basketball Team exceeds that of anyone else."
"Including you?"
"Yes, even I can't compare to Dayao. I only recognize Dayao as the next president of the Basketball Association. If he cannot be elected, I will refuse to compete in next year's Asian Championships and the Rio Olympics two years later!
"
"Is this...sure?"
"Definitely, and definitely!"
In an exclusive interview, Wang Zelin revealed his firm attitude towards not choosing Yao as the new chairman of the Basketball Association.
This exclusive interview was broadcast through Tencent Sports that afternoon and quickly made headlines in major media.
Wang Zelin's current incomparable influence in China has transcended the basketball world itself and radiated to the entire Chinese sports world.
This kind of shabby remarks can be called a forced palace, which made the senior officials couldn't help but scold him, but there was nothing they could do to him.
Yes, Wang Zelin, who was born in a basketball family, is indeed within the system. But he has fully calculated that the time he really entered the CBA and entered the professional arena was actually only one year. And it happened that in such a short one year, in his
Under his leadership, the Xunxing Men's Basketball Club achieved a brilliant record that was unprecedented and probably unprecedented.
After arriving in the NBA, Wang Zelin, who grew rapidly, quickly gained the support of countless fans in China, and his influence became even more terrifying.
It's not impossible for them to sanction him, but how to face external public opinion and fans' crusade after they are happy has become the biggest problem currently plaguing them.
What's more, Wang Zelin is not in a team with a special background like the Bayi Team, unlike Da Zhi back then.
They are used to sticking to the rules, but that doesn't mean they are fools. Everyone knows how the silver medal in this year's World Cup in Spain came about.
The most important thing is that the current Wang Zelin is different from his fledgling days. If Wang Zelin is sanctioned, Yi Jianlian, who is currently playing for the Trail Blazers, may refuse to play for the national team. And once the national team loses its only player who is playing for the Trail Blazers,
It is an understatement to say that the two generals who play in the NBA are cut in half.
In half a year, the 28th Asian Men's Basketball Asian Championship will be held in Changsha. Domestic fans are still counting on the men's basketball team to win the Asian Championship, because the champion will directly qualify for the Rio Olympics in 2016.
If the interest of domestic fans is missing at a critical moment, no one can bear this responsibility.
"The separation of CBA management and offices is once again on the agenda!"
"The plan to separate the CBA management and office has been approved by the State Sports General Administration!"
"Dayao has become the popular candidate for the new chairman of the Basketball Association!"
"Yao Ming will take the lead in establishing a secondary vocational basketball company!"
"The league company will be composed of 20 clubs..."
Domestic news broke out one after another, and Wang Zelin's exclusive interview was like a death scythe, forcing senior executives to seek changes.
Wang Zelin was in a good mood after receiving positive news from home, especially after seeing that the General Administration of Sports had agreed to the plan to separate management and office.
In fact, as early as the end of last year, to be precise on December 24, 2013, the Information Management Bureau had revealed that in order to conform to the institutional mechanism of the CBA Professional League in line with China’s national conditions, CBA will soon implement the separation of management and management.
To be honest, at that time, the CBA had made all preparations for the separation of management and management, and the outside world also agreed that the CBA was about to officially become professional.
While domestic fans were cheering for joy, the plan to separate management from office was temporarily halted by senior leaders. The reason given was that they preferred to let football take precedence.
Due to the behavior of senior management and the inaction of credit management, the so-called reform of separation of management and office has been shelved.
In the original time and space, it was because of the Liaoning home court mineral water incident that it exploded on the Internet, triggering overwhelming abuse on the Internet.
Actually, before the bottle was thrown at the Benxi Stadium, there had been many incidents of fans throwing mineral water bottles every season in CBA history. But why did the previous bottles not have the influence of the Benxi bottle? Or is it Guo Ailun’s head? Is it that valuable?
To put it bluntly, it is caused by the historical trend that CBA must inevitably enter professionalization as it develops over a long period of time.
That bottle is just a fuse.
In short, if the separated CBA has been managed, there will be strong management measures, and this bottle cannot be thrown away at all.
Unfortunately, the gap between reality and ideals is always so big: the police caught the boy who threw the bottle, but could not file criminal charges against him because he was under 18 years old; the Benxi Division was fined 100,000 yuan.
After that, the incident went away.
It was under such high pressure that after half a year, it was not until the beginning of 2016 that the State Sports General Administration officially approved the plan to separate the management and management of the CBA.
Dayao also officially took office as the first brother of the Basketball Association in the second year after establishing the Chinese Basketball Association in 2016.
In this time and space, the separation of CBA management and offices was put on the agenda for more than a year.
It is foreseeable that Dayao's time to sit on the throne of the top brother in the Basketball Association will be greatly advanced.
Therefore, there is no reason for Wang Zelin to be unhappy.
Of course, this is also related to his own weight.
It is the same everywhere. If you want to have the right to speak, you must first harden yourself.
If it were two years ago, the talents within the General Administration of Sports and the basketball management would not be interested in a rookie, but now the situation is completely different.
After the separation of management and office, the CBA reform has finally taken the first step, which is also the most important step.
He knew that even after taking the first step, there were still countless difficulties waiting for him and Dayao to solve them. Who made the country's national conditions like this? The water inside was too deep after all.
But he understands better that the most difficult thing in everything is to take the first step. After taking the first step, the rest is in the future.
After completing the interview, Wang Zelin also focused on the next game.
