If this new crown epidemic is regarded as a basketball game, then China will participate in the first half and other countries in the world will participate in the second half.
In the first half of the game, China faced a cunning, powerful, vicious, strange, and ignorant opponent at the beginning of the game, which exposed many problems. However, as the competition deepened, China found an effective way to deal with the virus. The whole country worked together to successfully control the spread of the epidemic and curb the rampant virus.
The second half of the game began. I originally thought that the valuable experience obtained by the Chinese government and people's return from huge sacrifices and costs could help other countries represented by Europe and the United States so that they would not repeat the same mistakes. But what is incomprehensible is that what happened at the beginning of the outbreak of the epidemic in China has been staged again in almost every country in the world, even more than that!
At this time, competitive sports and professional sports are no longer so important things. Life, health and safety are the issues that everyone should face and seriously consider.
Under the cover of the epidemic, no corner will become a pure land, and the same is true for professional sports. From the Premier League to Serie A, to NBA, athletes in professional sports have been continuously diagnosed in recent days. Faced with the increasingly serious epidemic, almost all the world professional sports are suspended - the five major European leagues were suspended; Champions League , Europa League was suspended; all four major professional sports leagues in North America were suspended; NCAA was cancelled; FIBA confirmed that all international basketball events were suspended; the torch relay of the Tokyo Olympics was suspended in Greece, and it became a suspense whether this year's Olympics could be held...
2020 was originally a "sports year" belonging to the Olympics. However, under the shadow of the epidemic that shrouded the world, it has become a veritable "sports disaster year"!
In the basketball world, as the most advanced and most well-known professional basketball league in the world, the NBA is also the first basketball league to find confirmed cases of players. On March 12, the French center of the Utah Jazz Gobert was diagnosed with the new coronavirus. Just five minutes later, the NBA announced that this season was suspended. After
, Gobert's Jazz teammate Mitchell also announced his absence. One day later, Detroit Pistons center Wood, who had faced Gobert 63 times in the last game, was also hit, becoming the third NBA player to be diagnosed with an infected person.
On the second day after the league was announced, the NBA informed all teams of the league about the relevant policies for the suspension and clarified regulations on prohibiting group training. In an interview with the media, NBA President Xiao Hua confirmed that the NBA will be suspended for at least one month. But at the same time, he also said that the possibility of this season ending is not ruled out!
And just today, " New York Times " reporter Marc Stein reported that the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) announced a decision related to national sports events, suggesting that more than 50 people will not be allowed to hold gatherings in the next 8 weeks.
This means that major sports events may not be able to recover in the next two months, and the specifics depend on the control of the new coronavirus in the United States.
As we all know, in a regular basketball game, players, coaches, referees, technical stations on both sides, plus stadium staff and live TV staff, this will definitely be more than 50 people. And if the NBA season really ends here, the NBA league will have to accept huge losses of up to one billion US dollars! The team owners of course hope to complete the remaining regular season and playoffs , and they have to accept even in empty games.
ESPN reporter Woj revealed on social media that the NBA may be postponed to the late June due to the impact of relevant anti-epidemic measures.NBA team owners and management also believe that even if the resumption of empty games in mid-to-late June is a best situation!
That is to say, this suspension may last at least 3 months! And the game course this season may continue until August!
Don’t worry about whether the Olympics can be held first, and then look at the European basketball world. The center of the Spanish giant Real Madrid men's basketball team Tompkins has been confirmed. He went to Milan, Italy with the team to compete in a men's basketball Champions League match last week. Since Real Madrid football team and basketball team are using Real Madrid Sports City to train, Real Madrid club decided to implement a 15-day quarantine for both the football team and the first team of the basketball team.
Looking at the whole world, the professional basketball league has basically been suspended!
But China's own CBA is likely to "resuming work" in April!
With effective measures for domestic epidemic prevention and control in China, all walks of life have gradually resumed work and production. The CBA League , which has been off the season for nearly two months, has also put the restart of the game on the agenda.
well-known basketball commentator Su Qun said on his personal Weibo: "As far as I know, the general direction of the CBA's recovery in the second half of the season is certain, starting from April 6 or 2, but in the end it will be a battle-style, home and away game, whether it is all empty games or part of the empty games, depends on the development of the anti-epidemic situation. We must not only respond to the call for resumption of work and production, but also cooperate with the general situation of the fight against the epidemic. I believe that the CBA will come up with the most reasonable plan. In short, fans can watch the CBA again and cheer for the team in my hometown."
March 12, according to US media reports, the CBA has recently begun to notify foreign players to return to the team as soon as this weekend. This CBA memorandum clearly states that foreign players will need to be quarantined for 14 days after returning to China and are fully prepared for the rematch in early April. For some foreign players, if they do not plan to return to the CBA to play, they may face the penalty of lifelong ban on the CBA. Their agents will also be punished for not being allowed to enter the CBA player market for two years.
Today, on March 16, according to Emiliano Carchia, a famous reporter from European media "Sportando", the CBA may restart in April without foreign players, and no decision has been made yet. Foreign players must undergo two weeks of self-isolation when they arrive in China.
Some agents also revealed that if the player refuses to return to the CBA, he may encounter a lifetime ban from the CBA, and the agent's license may be suspended for 2-3 years.
According to the schedule set previously, the CBA league this season will originally enter the playoffs on March 15, the finals will be held on April 26, and the championship will be produced at the latest on May 13. And after a long holiday this time, it is still unknown how to set the subsequent schedule.
htmlOn January 21, the 30th round of the CBA League this season was held normally. After this round of games, the teams entered the Spring Festival holiday. However, the holiday originally planned to end on February 1 has continued to this day. For many foreign players of CBA teams, their experience during this period is full of magic.CBA 20 clubs, with a total of more than 50 foreign players. After the outbreak of the epidemic in China, nearly 20% of foreign players chose to leave. Among them, Tianjin team's young foreign aid Randall went to the Warriors, but the NBA was suspended; Beijing Enterprises team-Thompson switched to La Liga Zaragoza during the offseason, and there are also teams with infections in La Liga; Shenzhen team's foreign aid Baix previously signed with Olympiacos in the Greek Basketball League, but now the Greek league has also been suspended; Zhejiang Guangsha team's new Zealand foreign aid Webster switched to Italy's Rome during the offseason - yes, it is Italy, the hardest hit area now!
Yesterday, another foreign aid from Tianjin, Todorovic, returned to China. As soon as the plane was off, the Black Mountain center immediately conducted epidemic prevention tests in accordance with relevant national regulations. At present, he was delivered to Tianjin by a special car by the epidemic prevention department and was self-isolating in the hotel. After the quarantine period expires, Todorovic will conduct epidemic prevention tests again. After the test is passed, they can return to the team to practice together.Although he had experienced many twists and turns, he kept praising "the series of measures taken by the Chinese government are really timely and effective, and the Chinese people are too powerful." He was once very close to signing with the Spanish League powerhouse Basquenia, but in the end he chose to return to China. Who knows whether this is because of the CBA’s salary or China’s security?
A game before the NBA was officially suspended, famous basketball commentator Yang Yi summarized in this paragraph: "At present, China is the safest place in the world!"
According to the latest information from the author, the Chinese Basketball Association and the CBA League company will hold a meeting around the 20th to discuss the relevant issues related to the restart of the CBA League - I believe there will be specific news soon.
If CBA can really restart in April, then at that time, CBA may be the professional basketball league with the highest competitive level, highest player quality and highest viewing game in the world at this time node! Of course, even if the CBA resumes games, health and safety are the most important!
You may not believe it, and CBA has the day to become the world's number one basketball league!
is a joke, but if the CBA is really restarted, it may be a good opportunity to develop!
After the end of last year's Men's Basketball World Cup, the Chinese men's basketball team, which had failed, was stripped of their underwear, and many problems were exposed. Learning from the pain, people found that in order to improve China's basketball level, we must start from the basics, focus on youth training, popularize and further reform the CBA.
Although the Chinese men's basketball team's record is bleak, the CBA League has become the world's "second basketball league" in data! In the 2019 eighth edition of the International Basketball Migration Report released by the FIBA, the situation of basketball leagues in various countries in the world except the United States is analyzed. Among them, the Chinese CBA League ranks first in terms of three important statistics: the number of participating teams, average scores, and average height of players. At that time, some people said that in terms of data, the CBA has really become the "second basketball league".
But we know that this "world second" is watery and "false prosperity". Weak defense, soft confrontation, and dependence on foreign players have all become fatal injuries to the further development of the CBA.
Before the suspension, the CBA this season gave fans a new feeling. So far, many games have been extremely anxious. At the last moment of life and death, many wonderful kills like flying immortals in the sky have been born. Many fans who were not interested in CBA or even sneered at it couldn't help but sigh - CBA is so delicious! CBA is really good!
It is a blessing to lose your horse.
This time, just as the shadow of the new crown epidemic shrouded the world, with the concerted efforts of the people of the whole country, China effectively prevented and controlled the epidemic. And for our own CBA, we also have a brief opportunity to become the "world's No. 1 basketball league"! Make yourself the best professional basketball league in the world for a period of time.
This may also be an opportunity brought to the CBA by the epidemic.
I hope we can seize this opportunity.
