Media person: The competition system imitates the NBA, the youth training is like Europe, and finally the CBA is completely different.

Hupu News on November 2 Recently, media person Fu Zhenghao published an article talking about his views on CBA rules.

He said: Our competition system is imitating the NBA, and the youth training model is more like European sports. In the end, the CBA is completely different.

The original text is as follows:

In the past, the CBA followed the NBA in all aspects, but it adhered to a kind of pragmatism. Only learn what you want to learn, and simply don't learn what you don't want to learn or can't learn. Our competition system is imitating the NBA, but our youth training model is more like European sports, so we have made the CBA completely different. One of the most basic logics is that professional leagues, as competition products for the public, should maintain the basic stability of competition performance rules. If it changes frequently, it is equivalent to setting various rule thresholds for fans to understand the game.

The NBA has had 82 regular season games since its inception in 1946. There have been many smart people who have asked for the season to be shortened but have not been able to do so. The fundamental reason is that the NBA is a business-driven league. Only by playing more games can there be more copyright, sponsorship and ticket revenue. A stable competition system is conducive to league promotion, sponsors joining, and broadcast agencies formulating broadcast plans. Everyone has stable expectations for each season. For players, a stable competition system will help them adjust their body's biological clock. When to play and when to rest throughout the year, they have established a fixed rhythm, making them less likely to be injured.

Of course, the NBA regular season maintains 82 games, which also allows some media and fans to visually compare the data of superstars from past and present to facilitate various data records and rankings. It is difficult for the CBA to evaluate historical rankings in this regard. After all, the number of games in the CBA league changes frequently, and even the basic standards are not unified. In short, the NBA maintains a stable competition system to facilitate the promotion of the league. When it comes to the NBA, the whole world knows that the NBA has 48 minutes per game and 82 regular season games per season.

Looking back at the CBA, it often has to make way for the national team, the National Games and other events, resulting in various adjustments to the CBA competition product. Even real CBA fans may not be able to clearly remember how many games a CBA game played, how many foreign players were in a certain year, and how long the game lasted. This is really not conducive to the promotion of the league. CBA sponsors can only write off expenses based on specific games every year, and broadcast agencies have to randomly adjust broadcast plans every year. Fans may find that the CBA rules are unfamiliar if they don't watch CBA every year. The CBA competition system is unstable, and what is lost is not only the real money in copyrights and sponsorship funds, but also the fans’ viewing experience and the consistency of media reporting.

Looking back at the past 30 years, CBA has been imitating the NBA since its inception. This is unavoidable. The name CBA was also named because of the NBA's naming habits. During their term of office, Li Yuanwei and Yao Ming tried their best to learn the NBA in an all-round way, but their primary responsibility was still to be responsible for the performance of the national team, and they had to seek political power in their positions. Therefore, no matter when Yao Ming or Li Yuanwei were in office, the CBA had to make way for the national team, and the CBA had to accept the arrangement of "when the national team is sick, the league takes medicine (surgery)", and no one is exempt from their tenure. I still hope that the Basketball Association will have a real long-term and systematic plan for the CBA, so that the CBA league products can first stabilize and develop truly sustainably, instead of just treating the headache and the foot.
