Live Bar, December 28th recently, Yao Ming, chairman of China Basketball Association, accepted an exclusive interview with Yu Jia, the host of Central Radio and Television.
Speaking of the expectations in the next five years, Yao Ming said: “I hope that in these five years, we have been able to form a reasonable competition system, membership system and national team system. The key point is the membership system. People often ask me what is the difference between the basket manager and the Basketball Association. In fact, the association is a social organization, a non-profit social organization. His management mechanism is a member, which has no administrative level but accepts business management. How do we use the membership model to regulate the national basketball industry? This is a great change of thinking.”
“The second is the competition system. All levels of league matches include men’s women’s basketball, including five and three basketball. How can this league form a mode of extensive mobilization so that all member units and member organizations can participate and be fully mobilized. More athletes who have been involved for more than 10 years will be generated to make more talents available. Of course, we also need to improve our viewing mode. Under these two kinds of accumulation, there will be a new model of national team adaptation, which is different from 16 years ago. How do we use the national team to participate in various competitions. Recently, I held a meeting with the International Basketball Federation. The International Basketball Federation hopes to organize various competitions. From the perspective of me as an athlete, the number of such competitions is unacceptable, and we cannot use a group of people all the time. There will be some trade-offs in the national team model, and we may send a second team to participate in some competitions. We can’t put the players of the first team on the outside all the time, which makes them end their basketball career early after excessive consumption.”
