Why is the basketball atmosphere in China so good, but there is still no second Yao Ming?

Let me answer this question. First, the basketball atmosphere in China is not good. Second, genius is rare.

On the surface, the basketball atmosphere in our country is not bad. There are courts everywhere and campus basketball is also good. However, compared with developed basketball countries, it is still far behind. Take our campus basketball as an example. There are many enthusiasts, but few are willing to take a professional path. Basketball at the grassroots level lacks good coaches and talent. Talent selection is based solely on height. Many good prospects have missed the best training. time. We know that Yi Jianlian's golf skills are poor because he participated in professional training late, which also restricted his progress to a higher level.

When our mass base is like that of Brazilian football, or the same as the basketball atmosphere in European and American countries, can we say that the atmosphere is good.

What impressed me the most is that business enthusiasts are not necessarily good at playing ball. On weekends, they can only go to nearby schools. Middle schools and elementary schools are not open to the public. They can only go to the university basketball court. Weekends are particularly crowded. Too many, often can’t be played. If it's windy or rainy, you'll either be unable to enter the indoor museum, or the fees will be exorbitantly expensive. In addition, some park courts have to compete with old ladies dancing in the square, so even ordinary basketball enthusiasts do not have the conditions for exercise.

Let’s talk about talent. With Yao Ming’s height, but also such confrontation, such touch, and such intelligence, such a player is really hard to come by. It takes decades to produce one. It is guaranteed to be detected from an early stage and training will not be delayed.

Take this year's CBA as an example. Zhu Chuanyu of the Xinjiang team is 2.2 meters tall, basically the same as Yao Ming. He is 22 years old and has embarked on the path of professional basketball, but his performance is very average. At the age of 22, Yao Ming had already dominated the CBA and then went to the NBA.

So it is very difficult to find such a good young talent, and if you do, you may not be able to become a talent. China has never been short of big players, what it is short of is truly talented players.

To sum up, our basketball atmosphere is not good, and geniuses are rare.
