The Basketball Association agreed and took back the position of Deputy Director Davidson. Since Davidson didn't want to do it, there was no need to force it. Anyway, Davidson just needs to stay.

In the afternoon, another small meeting was held within the Basketball Association, and this time Davidson attended 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 opinions.

At present, the professionalization of CBA is not very smooth. The main reason is that the quality of the players is uneven and the game is not very interesting, so naturally the number of fans is very small. Perhaps after a CBA game, the number of people watching on the spot is only a few dozen or hundreds, which is not as large as the number of staff members of the teams on both sides.

At present, the Basketball Association is also trying its best to solve this situation. If the number of CBA fans does not increase, the CBA league will never be able to make big and strong.

In response to this situation, Davidson contacted the development history of NBA and also gave several suggestions.

The first point is to create stars, like Stern creating black and white double evil spirits and Jordan, creating that kind of earth-shaking superstar in CBA.

Hu Weidong can be said to be the current superstar of CBA. He averaged 30+ points per game at his peak in data, but that is not enough.

At the moment, the level of the CBA league is not a big deal. At least you have to create a super monster that can be played per game. With the media promotion, it will definitely attract the attention of many fans.

Of course, after this super star was created, it would be possible to ensure that the player could stay in CBA. If he ran away halfway, it would be like making wedding dresses for NBA.

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

Star-making is undoubtedly one of Stern's most important means to strengthen NBA.

If there was no black and white duel and the later basketball god, then the NBA would probably be almost gone.

After Davidson expressed his thoughts and the reasons behind this idea, the Basketball Association was quite supportive.

They felt that what Davidson said was quite reasonable. If you want to attract fans' attention, how can you do without something?

The Basketball Association's idea now is to quickly make CBA bigger and stronger, and then the higher the value of the league, the more powerful players they can naturally be cultivated, which is very beneficial to the development of Chinese basketball.

As for whether this idea is correct, no one can say it right now, Davidson thinks nothing is wrong.

...

If you create stars, you must have a suitable goal.

Davidson now has a suitable candidate in his heart.

It is Tang Zhengdong, the young center of Zhengyin of Jiangsu Nangang Team.

Davidson, who heard from Dabu and Dazhi mentioned this player, was a very young inside player, two years younger than Yao Ming, and his physical hardware was an extremely standard seven-foot center.

Born in September 1982, he is only seventeen years old now, but this guy has a year of professional competition experience.

In 1998, when Tang Zhengdong was sixteen years old, he had already joined Jiangsu Nangang.

In the eyes of Dabu and Dazhi, Tang Zhengdong's potential is still quite good. Although he is definitely not as good as Yao Ming, he will definitely grow into a top center in the country in the future.

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

It's time for the bus to be replaced next, so Davidson is preparing to replace the bus with Tang Zhengdong.

Although it is more appropriate to use Yao Ming to replace the bus, Davidson feels that this method is a bit like killing the chicken and getting eggs.

You should know that Dazhi had to be replaced in 2001, and it would be more appropriate to use Yao Ming to replace Dazhi.

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

I'm just thinking about it here, not necessarily letting Yao Ming go...

What Davidson is considering now is how to make Tang Zhengdong continue to stay in CBA while his strength has greatly improved...

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

Tang Zhengdong is now 18 years old, so I must not think about this year's draft, because I had not signed up for the draft before, but Tang Zhengdong is eligible for next year's draft.

I guess if Tang Zhengdong participates in the draft, he will be influenced by Davidson and may be selected, and the ranking may not be low.

After all, Davidson has poached many outstanding inside players from China over the years. If Chinese inside players run for the election, they will always be more respectful.

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

If Tang Zhengdong has been left in CBA, then this superstar has been successfully created.

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 finally abandoned by the Raptors.

It means that Tang Zhengdong himself cannot enter the NBA.

Now, Tang Zhengdong not only did not suffer any losses, but also achieved great improvement in his strength.

I just don’t know if Tang Zhengdong is happy to sign this lifelong contract.

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

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

...

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

That is the salary cap system.

Judging from the current situation, there is no need to give CBA a salary cap at all.

The salary of CBA players is pitifully lower than that of NBA. No team will offer sky-high contracts to CBA players.

But what is necessary at the moment does not mean that it is not necessary in the future.

It is precisely because it seems unnecessary to implement this salary cap system.

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 were happy, and they also felt that it was really unnecessary.

However, it is not difficult to implement this thing at all. Since Davidson wants to do it, it may not be possible to give it a try, anyway, it will not hurt.

In addition to star-making and salary cap, Davidson mentioned the matter of foreign aid.

Foreign players are definitely a double-edged sword. Not only fans think so, but even Davidson thinks so.

At present, CBA has been relatively strict with its restrictions on foreign players, and Davidson feels that the current CBA situation can be appropriately relaxed.

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

Some fans believe that the increase in playing time of foreign players will lead to the failure of local players to maximize training.

In fact, Davidson felt that this view must make sense.

The lifting of restrictions on foreign aid and tightening restrictions on foreign aid have their own advantages and disadvantages. Judging from the current situation, no one dares to say which plan is more beneficial to the development of Chinese basketball.
