Unlike Yang Hansen! Chinese basketball: This kind of "fool" is needed even more

Some people say he is "stupid", which is so stupid that it is heartbreaking.

There was once a question that caused heated discussions among everyone, namely: What is the purpose of being a professional player?

Some people say that it is for the belief, ideal and love in their hearts.

Some people also say that this is a job. Like us, professional players also need to work and feed and support their families. Playing seriously means working hard. Although there is a component of "love", in the face of time and time, love must return to calmness, so fighting for more benefits is the ultimate goal.

Whether for ideals or for profit, there is no final answer to this debate. I can only say that everyone has their own opinions in their hearts.

However, if a condition is added, everyone's opinion may be somewhat tilted. That is: players are all for youth.

Whether it is the NBA or the CBA, if the injury factor is left out, a player's career will last about 20 years. This should be a very good time period.

What can these professional players do after they retire? There is no good answer. Of course, some players have good places to go, such as the local sports department, etc. But there are too few ideal places to go compared to our large number of players. In other words, what can professional players do after they retire (around 40 years old)? Maybe the final destination is quite different from everyone's expectations.

Back to the beginning of our article, is professional players playing for their ideals or pursuing interests first. It seems that with the blessing of the "youth rice", there is already an answer.

But some players did the opposite and became the focus of everyone's hot discussion! He is Yu Jiahao from Chouzhou, Zhejiang.

Yu Jiahao's joining Bilbao in La Liga is no longer news, it is a good thing in itself. But when Yu Jiahao personally confirmed that his monthly salary was only 2,000 euros, it was surprising! You know, if Yu Jiahao stays in the CBA, he will be eligible to get a maximum salary next season, which is 6 million! The salary gap of

is not an exaggeration to describe it as "world of difference". Moreover, this signing lasts for three years!

So, Yu Jiahao became the "fool" in everyone's mouth, a heartbreaking fool.

Whether in Chouzhou, Zhejiang or following the Chinese men's basketball team to compete in the Asian Cup this summer, Yu Jiahao's performance is phenomenal. At the age of 22, there is still a lot of room for improvement. Even if it is in China, it is a hot star and does not have to worry about big contracts at all.

However, according to Yu Jiahao's current state and age, it should be the most golden stage for professional players, and it is also a critical period for pursuing maximum profits. He actually chose to pursue his ideals in this way, which is unpredictable.

Of course, many fans also say that Yang Hansen can also get a big contract, but he chose to give up his interests and pursue his dreams. But Yang Hansen and Yu Jiahao are completely different, the most important thing is the importance of the platform.

NBA is recognized as the top basketball hall. Where can Yang Hansen develop himself, his interests will be a little damaged in the short term, but once he gains a foothold, his interests will rise rapidly! In addition, the NBA has a mature business operation team. They will customize a set of commercial developments for Yang Hansen to maximize his off-market market. Simply put, Yang Hansen can obtain a considerable contract, and his business value will be far beyond his domestic income.

This is something that Yu Jiahao is located in La Liga and is far from reaching.

European basketball is also very strong, but its influence in the country is limited. Everyone is used to it, so I pay attention to the NBA and football to watch the five major European leagues. But who would say that basketball goes to Europe?

But Yu Jiahao chose to go to Europe. The only explanation is: he is really pursuing his dreams steadily and making every effort to improve his level.

In terms of popularity, European basketball is far inferior to the NBA. However, in terms of strength comparison, European basketball is not much worse than the NBA. Think about how many European stars have gone to the NBA all the time. In addition, in the FIBA ​​competition, the strength of European teams has always been the target of fear.

The styles of European basketball and NBA are completely different. They emphasize confrontation, rapid conversion under tactics, and collaboration capabilities. Although it has similarities with the NBA, there is a big gap in execution.

If Yu Jiahao can gain a foothold in Europe, his strength will be significantly improved. This is beneficial to your own growth! Even when you return to China, it is still a popular product in everyone's eyes.

And the style of European basketball is exactly the key direction we want to pursue. Therefore, if Yu Jiahao is able to establish himself in Europe, he will almost certainly lock in a main seat in the Chinese men's basketball team in the future.

Give up generous interests and pursue one's own cultivation. This "fool" in everyone's mouth is using his own actions to improve himself. At the same time, it is also for the future that young Chinese basketball players pursue their dreams in Europe and accumulate experience.
