Chinese basketball association’s ticket made two CBA coaches almost end their coaching career in CBA league ahead of schedule, especially Li Chunjiang. As a seven-time coach, he almost reached an unsurpassed position in the CBA coach’s resume, so Li Chunjiang was banned from coaching registration for five years, which was once embarrassing. In addition, Li Chunjiang is 60 years old, and it is unknown whether he will have a chance to return to the CBA coach’s bench after five years. However, within a few days after the penalty came out, a topic has been hotly debated by fans. Since the game was defined by chinese basketball association as a "passive game between the two sides", why was Li Nan banned for three years and Li Chunjiang banned for five years? What are the considerations for the extra two years?
The same is true for the general managers of two teams. Why is Jiang Yusheng, general manager of Shanghai Jiushi Basketball Club, restricted from engaging in basketball-related activities for three years, while Shi Linjie, general manager of Jiangsu Kendia Club, restricted for five years? What is the consideration for the difference of two years between them? Now Yang Yi, a well-known basketball commentator, has given his own answer.
In the latest interview program, Yang Yi gave the main reason why the punishment time was different. Yang Yi claimed that, first of all, chinese basketball association didn’t find out any details and evidence in the whole investigation, including the money transactions guessed by the fans and the evidence agreed in advance. Yang Yi came forward to confirm these, but at least chinese basketball association didn’t find out or ask out in the investigation, but the "negative game" between the two sides was obvious to everyone, which is why chinese basketball association decided to punish him.
In addition, since there is no evidence, the penalties for the four people are different, especially why Li Chunjiang and Shi Linjie are five years, while the other two are three years. Yang Yi claims that there is no such thing as "principal and accessory" as the public speculated, because there is no evidence to prove that the two sides have traded, and the main reason for truly defining three years and five years is the attitude of the four people in the face of investigation and inquiry, and Yang Yi bluntly said that Li Chunjiang and Shi Lin,
But Li Nan is different. Yang Yi claims that in the whole basketball circle in China, almost no one does not recognize Li Nan’s character, and according to many people who have been with Li Nan for many years, Li Nan is definitely not the kind of person who engages in crooked ways. In addition, Yang Yi also revealed that Yao Ming and Li Nan used to be teammates for many years, plus Li Nan was the head coach of the men’s basketball team and Yao Ming helped them up, so Yao Ming, chairman of the Basketball Association, is convinced of Li Nan’s character, and Li Nan must be a very upright person.
In addition, Yang Yi claimed that this can also be seen from the wording of chinese basketball association’s notice, so he thought that the main criteria for the final suspension of Li Nan for 3 years and Li Chunjiang for 5 years were based on the attitude of inquiry and the cognition of the whole basketball circle, and the specific suspension period was finally determined, so maybe it was for the sake of balance, so while the suspension of Li Nan for 3 years and Li Chunjiang for 5 years, the general manager’s side was Shanghai Jiushi Jiang Yusheng for 3 years and Jiangsu Kendia Slinger for 5 years.
Since the penalty has been decided, there is not much need for us to discuss right and wrong, but the fans are most sorry for Li Chunjiang. Li Chunjiang was not only a member of the national team when he was an athlete, but also participated in the Sydney Olympic Games with the team. Then after he retired as a coach, he started a legendary experience. So far, he has led the Guangdong men’s basketball team to win seven championship trophies. It can be said that such an achievement is unprecedented and it is difficult for anyone to surpass it in the future. Now Li Chunjiang, 60, is the next one.
Then, as a famous coach of CBA, if Li Chunjiang doesn’t sit in the CBA coaching seat, he will still be a hot potato. Besides Li Chunjiang, who may be the general manager of Shanghai Jiushi Club in the future, he is more likely to leave the CBA League to teach in other basketball leagues. Within three days after Li Chunjiang was officially banned, he received an olive branch from the East Asian Super League pterosaur Basketball Club in Hong Kong Bay Area, China (hereinafter referred to as the Hong Kong pterosaur team). You know, the Hong Kong Pterosaur team has always been famous for its deep pockets. If Li Chunjiang finally accepts their invitation, the annual salary will not only be higher than the salary after a long stay in Shanghai, but also it is very likely to set a new record for domestic coaches! And such good news was immediately confirmed by the women’s basketball legend Zheng Haixia.
Let me briefly talk about this East Asian Super League, which is an FIBA-certified Asian basketball league mainly held in the Philippines. The founder of the East Asian Super League is Matt Baer. Maybe you haven’t heard of him, but he also has a familiar identity with China fans. He used to be Yi Jianlian’s personal translator, and the investors behind this league include NBA stars Barang Davis and Ci Shiping (formerly known as Artest) in addition to Raine Group Bank of the United States.
The Hong Kong Pterosaur team that threw the olive branch to Li Chunjiang is the team directly under Dongchao Company. The general manager of the team is Liu Quansheng, the former general manager of chinese basketball association. Although the team was established for a short time, it has a huge capital reserve because it is directly under Dongchao Company. They also spent a lot of money to poach players from CBA, including Liu Chuanxing, Zhu Songwei, Ju Mingxin and Liu Xiaoyu, who was just negotiated not long ago. According to the famous basketball commentator Su Qun, the Hong Kong Pterosaur team with deep pockets signed this year. This is even more than many European giants.
Therefore, within three days after Li Chunjiang was banned for five years, it was reported that the Hong Kong Pterosaur team intended to invite the seven-named CBA coach to coach, and if the Hong Kong Pterosaur team with deep pockets really wanted to invite Li Chunjiang, the price it offered would definitely exceed the highest value of the CBA local coach. Then, if the Hong Kong Pterosaur finally signed Li Chunjiang as he wished, why did it say that Li Chunjiang was going abroad to coach? Because the home of the Hong Kong Pterosaur team is now in Manila, the Philippines, this is probably the place that Li Chunjiang needs to think most. It stays abroad all the year round, and most of the team are foreign players.
Compared with Li Chunjiang, Li Nan’s situation is much better. Now Jiangsu Kendia Club has given him the position of a vice president, so even if it is not the head coach, it is entirely possible to help the new head coach to make suggestions and listen to politics in the future. And the players are still those players, but they just can’t take charge of the team at the scene. And as a vice president, Li Nan’s annual salary may even rise, which is possible, but I still hope that Li Chunjiang can have a good home in the future.
