Regarding CBA reform, why is Yao Ming under fire? Whose interests did he offend?

There is a lot of discussion on the Internet about Yao Ming’s evaluation of the reform of the CBA League. Everyone has different opinions. Some fans believe that Yao Ming’s reform has brought new ideas and new directions to the development of the CBA League. Reform The process also takes time. Some people also think that Yao Ming's transfer of the NBA operating model is not in line with the reality of the CBA league.

Some well-known basketball media figures such as Jiangnan Cheng and Yang Yi directly publicly mocked Yao Ming's reform measures and directly criticized Yao Ming for messing up the CBA league and making it worse. So, why are Yao Ming's reform actions met with opposition and bombardment from these people now? Whose interests did he offend? Let’s talk about it in detail below.

1. It violated the interests of the players

As we all know, the CBA has implemented a salary cap system this season. The annual salary of any player in a season cannot exceed RMB 8 million before tax. In other words, the maximum salary is 8 million yuan, and no player can exceed this salary standard. Once this system was implemented, "salary limit orders" were directly placed on the league's superstars, and their personal interests were directly affected.

You must know that in the past, the annual salary of superstars in the league such as Yi Jianlian and Zhou Qi was around 20 million yuan. Wang Zhelin, Guo Ailun, etc. also had high salaries, and Yao Ming's salary limit policy directly offended direct benefit to these players.

2. It violated the interests of the team owner

This is also caused by the "salary limit order". When there were no salary restrictions before, as long as the owners were willing to pay, they could pay high prices to attract players. In other words, team owners could spend money to buy the players they liked at will, and they were basically guaranteed to retain the players they trained.

But things are different after the "Salary Limit Order" was introduced. For those who do not meet the team's veteran standards, a team can only have three maximum-paid players, which means that there are only three maximum-paid players. Players can receive a salary of 8 million yuan. As a result, many outstanding players will move frequently in order to compete for the maximum salary spot. Team owners also cannot use money to keep their favorite players.

3. Offended the interests of foreign aid agents

For example, media personnel like Yang Yi who have many foreign aid agent businesses, therefore the CBA’s use of foreign aid in the new season The strict restrictions directly led to a significant reduction in his business volume. In addition, the salary limit was limited to US$7 million, which also led to a significant reduction in the brokers' commissions. In other words, CBA's policies directly harm the interests of these foreign aid agents.

The reform of CBA will inevitably continue, and the reform will definitely offend the interests of some people, but as long as the reform is on the right path, it must endure such a period of pain. Professional people do professional things. I think the CBA and Chinese basketball are gradually moving in the right direction. What do you think about this? Do you think the reform of Chinese basketball is right or wrong?
