Chapter 688 I'm Really Not a Rich Second Generation (Second Update!)
Yao Ming has no reason to lie to Tang Tian. This Lin Huanyu probably just doesn't like the title of rich second generation when he says so.
After all, in this era, the meanings of many words have changed. What is broad and profound, what is a success, and what a person is capable of is all given new meanings.
Fuerdai was originally a neutral word, but it also has a bit of a derogatory meaning.
"Hi, I'm Tang Tian."
Tang Tian also smiled and reached out to Lin Huanyu.
After shaking hands and saying hello, the three of them sat down across the coffee table.
Tang Tian took another look at Lin Huanyu after sitting down.
He was a little curious, why Yao Ming would suddenly bring a rich second generation here.
This is not something he asked Yao Ming on his own initiative, and to be honest, he is playing in the United States, and he doesn't need to know rich people in China, because there is no intersection.
Yao Ming also knew Tang Tian's doubts, and after chatting for a few words, he got to the point.
"I want to pilot a new basketball school in China, and plan to implement the CBA draft system to turn basketball into a profession."
These few words of Yao Ming made Tang Tian very interested.
The poor basketball in China is not only due to the physical problems of the yellow race, but more to the basketball system, or the lack of a system.
The so-called lack of system means that there is no serious professional path.
To put it bluntly, when Americans play basketball, they have a goal and know that they have a chance to play in the NBA.
And starting from junior high school, going to high school and university is a very standardized professional path.
If you want to play in the NBA, the main way is the draft.
To get drafted, you have to try to make it to an NCAA Division I team or even a super school in college.
In order to enter these schools, you have to play well in high school and become a five-star or even higher-level player in the United States.
And if you want to be famous, you have to show your talent in junior high school and be able to get the opportunity to enter these high schools.
And if you want to stand out in junior high school or even earlier, you have to train hard from an early age.
This is a progressive, very clear path to the NBA.
It seems to be reading, but it is actually screening basketball talents at the same time.
This is also the way of professionalization, which is currently not available in China.
There are 1.3 billion people in China, but only those with a million-level participation are actually involved, and only those with a level of 100,000 or even less can truly embark on the professional road.
Therefore, in order to improve the level of Chinese basketball, it is by no means a matter of overnight. The most important thing to do is to professionalize it.
The parents of the child know that the child can live by playing basketball in the future, so they will let the child take this path, not simply by love.
It is always necessary to have a good meal. Only when the problems of life are solved can we have the time to talk about love.
The basketball school and CBA draft mentioned by Yao Ming are very crucial points.
Most of the current schools adopt exam-oriented education. It will be very, very difficult to promote basketball in these schools.
Rather than doing this, it is better to make a new cake. As long as a few can be made and succeeded, there will be more and more schools like this.
In the future, it may be possible to cooperate with some prestigious schools.
At that time, CUBA can really become the same existence as NCAA.
The draft is a very critical part of it.
Most of the current CBA talents come from the youth training and training of each team.
Basketball should start with children. This path is correct and suitable for the present.
But this should not be the way after professionalization.
Because the selection mechanism of each team is different, there are too many fish that slip through the net, and too many real basketball talents are buried.
Even when the team is selected, it will be full of money and power transactions, rigid training and so on.
Many players trained in this way lack emotional intelligence, which greatly restricts the upper limit.
So the draft is the fundamental way to solve this problem, so that those who slip through the net can also have the opportunity to enter the CBA.
Of course, the basketball school and the draft must be combined to play the biggest role, otherwise ordinary people are rarely better than the people trained by the team.
This will be a long way, but if you want to revive basketball and even take it to a higher level, this is the fundamental solution.
And this point is perfect.
What is better now than before is that there is the ultimate template of Tang Tian.
When Yao Ming became the No. 1 pick in the NBA and made a name for himself, many centers emerged in Asia, and Yi Jianlian and Haddadi both made it to the NBA.
This is the role model and pioneer effect.
But now that Tang Tian, a swingman in front and back, was around, the scope of this effect was expanded.
Asians can play more than just tall, which will make CBA teams and basketball schools not use height as the only criterion when selecting talents.
Technology is also talent, hard work is also talent, and spirit is also talent.
With the advent of the small ball era, the saying that basketball is just a game for giants no longer applies.
This is an opportunity for the rise of Chinese basketball.
Yao Ming is indeed not just a player, his clear planning ideas coincide with what Tang Tian did in his previous life.
During their chat, Tang Tian knew the reason why Yao Ming introduced Lin Huanyu to him.
If you want to build a new basketball school, the most important thing is money.
This Lin Huanyu was willing to pay.
And indeed, as he himself said, he is not a rich second generation, but a super rich second generation.
The basketball school that Yao Ming envisages is to pilot five schools in second- and third-tier cities such as Hangzhou, Tianjin, Xiamen, Xi'an, and Guiyang.
The reason why I didn't choose a first-tier city is to temporarily avoid the problem of competing with CBA players for students.
And Lin Huanyu is willing to fully invest in these five schools.
This is not a small amount of money. If the family is not very rich, the rich second generation can't afford to play like this.
However, there are too many invisible rich people in China, and it is impossible to get to the bottom of this kind of thing, but it is enough for people to be willing to pay.
"I have a mine at home."
This Lin Huanyu is quite humorous.
But from Yao Ming's mouth, Tang Tian knew that the real reason for his willingness to invest was his love for basketball and his admiration for him.
That's right, this Lin Huanyu is a fan of Tang Tian.
"I will also contribute part of it."
All Tang Tian's money was used to buy yachts and houses, and he didn't have a lot of savings.
But it's okay to pay a few million dollars.
Yao Ming's actions are still very fast. The next day after chatting with Tang Tian, the Basketball Association announced that it will start the CBA draft system next year.
This is the first step, and this step has already attracted huge public opinion from the outside world.
Many people support it, because it means that ordinary people can play professional basketball as long as they work hard.
There are also many people who are pessimistic, because the gap between ordinary people and professional young players is too great, and current college students simply cannot play in the CBA.
Some people say that the Basketball Association is imitating Xi Shi, and it is completely useless.
But no matter what, this is the first step for China's professional basketball after Yao Ming was elected as the chairman of the Basketball Association last year and integrated resources.
It means change, and it means a lot.
