Chapter 314 CBA salary cap and foreign aid

The Basketball Association agreed and took back Davidson's position as deputy director. Since Davidson didn't want to do it, there was no need to force it. Anyway, Davidson just stayed.

In the afternoon, another small meeting was held within the Basketball Association. This time Davidson participated in the internal meeting as a professional.

In fact, this internal meeting was mainly held for Davidson, and the leaders of the Basketball Association also wanted to hear Davidson's opinion.

At present, the professionalization of the CBA is not going very smoothly, mainly because the quality of the players is uneven, the game is not very enjoyable, and naturally the number of fans is very small. Maybe after a CBA main game is played, the number of on-site spectators is only dozens or hundreds, which is not as good as the number of staff members of both teams.

Right now, the Basketball Association is also trying its best to prepare to solve this situation. If the number of CBA fans does not increase, then the CBA League will never be able to become bigger and stronger.

In response to this situation, Davidson also gave some suggestions in connection with the development history of the NBA.

The first point is to create a star, just like Stern created black and white Shuangsha and Jordan, to create a superstar of that kind in the CBA.

Hu Weidong can be said to be the superstar of the current CBA. In terms of statistics, he averaged 30+ points per game at his peak, but this is not enough.

At the current level of the CBA league, an average of 30 points per game is nothing. At least it has to create a super monster that can average 50+20 per game. Coupled with the media's publicity, it will definitely attract the attention of many fans.

Of course, after this superstar is created, it is necessary to ensure that this player can stay in the CBA. If he runs away halfway, it is tantamount to making a wedding dress for the NBA.

When Stern took over the NBA, the NBA was actually on the verge of bankruptcy, which is comparable to the current CBA.

Star making is undoubtedly the most important means for Stern to grow the NBA.

If there hadn't been a black-and-white duel and later the God of Basketball, then the current NBA is probably almost cold.

After Davidson expressed his thoughts and the reasons behind this idea, the Basketball Association still supported it.

They feel that what Davidson said is quite reasonable. If they want to attract the attention of fans, what can they do without something?
Now the idea of ​​the Basketball Association is to quickly make the CBA bigger and stronger, and the higher the gold content of the league in the future, the more powerful players will naturally be cultivated, which is very beneficial to the development of Chinese basketball.

As for whether this kind of thinking is right, no one can say right now, anyway, Davidson thinks there is nothing wrong with it.

……

If you want to make a star, you must have a suitable goal.

Right now Davidson has a suitable candidate in mind.

It was Zhengyin young center Tang Zhengdong of the Jiangsu Nangang team.

This player, Davidson, has been mentioned by Daba and Da Zhi. He is a very young inside player, two years younger than Yao Ming, and his physical hardware belongs to an extremely standard seven-foot center.

Born in September 82, he is only 9 years old now, but this guy already has a year of professional game experience.

In 98, when Tang Zhengdong was 16 years old, he had already joined Jiangsu Nangang.

From the perspective of Daba and Dazhi, Tang Zhengdong's potential is quite good. Although he is definitely not as good as Yao Ming, he will definitely grow into a top domestic center forward in the future.

With such a foundation, coupled with Davidson's help, it is enough to make stars.

It just so happened that the bus should be replaced next, and Davidson was going to replace the bus with Tang Zhengdong.

Although it is more appropriate to use Yao Ming to replace the bus at the moment, Davidson feels that this approach is a bit of a chicken.

You must know that Da Zhi had to be replaced in 01, and it would be more appropriate to replace Da Zhi with Yao Ming.

And the main reason is that Yao Ming is currently unable to participate in the draft, and the Shanghai team will not let him go, saying that Yao Ming must help the Shanghai team win the championship before considering this matter.

This is just a matter of consideration, not that Yao Ming will definitely be let go...

What Davidson is thinking about right now is how to make Tang Zhengdong stay in the CBA despite the huge improvement in his strength...

It seems that it is necessary for me to have a good talk with Tang Zhengdong.

Right now Tang Zhengdong is eighteen years old, this year's draft must be forgotten, because he did not sign up for the draft before, but next year's draft Tang Zhengdong is eligible to sign up.

It is estimated that if Tang Zhengdong participates in the draft, he will be selected under the influence of Davidson, and the pick may not be low.

After all, Davidson has dug out many outstanding inside players from China over the years. If Chinese inside players participate in the election, they will always make people look high.

Davidson plans to let Jiangsu Nangang sign a lifetime contract with Tang Zhengdong before Tang Zhengdong enters the election. In this case, even if Tang Zhengdong is selected by the NBA, he will not be able to leave Jiangsu Nangang.

If Tang Zhengdong stays in CBA, then this superstar will be considered a success.

Davidson didn't feel sorry for Tang Zhengdong, because under normal circumstances, although Tang Zhengdong was infinitely close to signing with the Raptors, he was eventually given up by the Raptors after all.

It is equivalent to saying that Tang Zhengdong himself has no way to enter the NBA.

Now Tang Zhengdong not only has no loss, but has also obtained a huge increase in strength.

I just don't know that Tang Zhengdong is happy to sign this lifetime contract.

If you really don't want to sign, that's no big deal, Davidson can change a target.

With the system bonus, even if Davidson pulls someone from the street, as long as he has no physical problems and is of the right age, he can at least train him to be an NBA All-Star player.

……

In addition to making stars, Davidson also made a suggestion to the CBA.

That is the salary cap system.

Judging from the current situation, there is actually no need to set a salary cap for the CBA.

The salaries of CBA players are pitifully lower than those of the NBA. No team will offer sky-high contracts to CBA players.

But just because there is no need for things right now, doesn't mean there is no need for them in the future.

It is precisely because it seems unnecessary at the moment that it is easy to implement this salary cap system.

The development and growth of the NBA, in addition to Stern's star-making and global marketing promotion, the salary cap system is actually a very important measure.

Faced with Davidson's suggestion, the leaders of the Basketball Association became happy, and they also felt that it was really unnecessary.

However, there is no difficulty in implementing this thing. Since Davidson wants to do it, it might as well give it a try, and there is no harm anyway.

In addition to making stars and the salary cap, Davidson also mentioned foreign aid.

Foreign aid is definitely a double-edged sword, not only the fans think so, even Davidson thinks so.

Right now, the CBA's restrictions on foreign aid are relatively rigid, and Davidson feels that the current CBA situation can be appropriately relaxed.

Strive to form competition with local players and make local players feel a sense of crisis, which may produce good results.

Some fans believe that the increased playing time of foreign players will prevent local players from being maximized.

In fact, Davidson feels that this view must be reasonable.

There are pros and cons to loosening foreign aid restrictions and tightening foreign aid restrictions. Judging from the current situation, no one dares to say which plan is more beneficial to the development of Chinese basketball.

So at present, we can only grope slowly in the dark.
