Live broadcast on July 24 News “China Newsweek” reporter Ye qofeng published a article about this year’s CBA draft conference.

Among them, Ye qomeng revealed that a CBA team management staff thought that choosing the so-called “Internet celebrity players” lowered the seriousness and professional threshold of the CBA draft conference.

Part of the original text is as follows:

At the end of the first round of draft, a team in the south chose a player. Many fans think that this player has certain strength, but the team chose him because he is really handsome.

In the second round of the draft, Tong Xi Club chose Li Yunkai from McGill University in Canada. It is reported that Li Yunkai once played a school team in McGill University, but what he is more familiar with is the identity of Internet celebrity food blogger.

During playing in Canada, Li Yunkai led foreign friends including NBA stars to taste Chinese food many times, and the video account was famous. As a result, Yu Jia, the host of the talent show, said after Li Yunkai was selected, “Li Yunkai spread Chinese food culture to all parts of the world while improving his football skills, his joining will make Tongxi team’s healthy meal a great achievement.”

There is also Zou Yun selected by Guangzhou Dragon and Lion team, whose official social media introduction is “sneakers appraiser”. In fact, Zou Yun is a player of the Guangdong Southern Tigers youth team.

“One thing to say, they may not have the talent and strength of Yi Jianlian and Zhou Qi. It is really hard to say what level they will develop in CBA in the future, but what is certain is that, they also have the strength to play professional leagues.” A management member of the CBA team told China Newsweek: “The so-called food bloggers and sneakers appraisers are just a sideline of them. Fans sometimes make fun of them online, I don’t respect people very much.”

Among the so-called “Internet celebrity players”, grassroots basketball players were chosen by Beijing North control Club in the second round, which caused a lot of controversy.

After the Beijing North control team selected Jinhong, it specially released a letter of congratulations. The article did not mention the role of entering the macro, but hoped that he and the club would do a good job in basketball promotion.

“In other words, the North control team hopes to enhance the popularity of the club with the help of his Internet celebrity attributes. In fact, when Beijing control chose him in the second round, it only needed to pay a basic salary of 150000 yuan to sign a top Internet celebrity. This kind of cost performance is estimated to make many MCN organizations envy and envy.” Fu Zhenghao said, “however, a grassroots player can become a professional player by virtue of his personal efforts. From the perspective of club operation, this can also be changed from a different perspective, saying that there is a temperature, stories with humanistic feelings.”

The above-mentioned CBA team management personnel confirmed to China Newsweek: “There are indeed many insiders who have a lot of complaints about this (flow players are selected), and many people think that choosing the so-called ‘Internet celebrity players ‘, it reduces the seriousness and professional threshold of CBA draft conference.”

However, another group of basketball insiders expressed understanding, because in terms of strength, almost all draft players are not enough to make the whole team leap forward. “To do a ‘topic marketing’ with the help of hot events is actually what all walks of life are doing by using the Internet. It is not necessary to make a fuss because it happens in the basketball field.”
