Ticket sales for the CBA All-Star Game were dismal, and Yao Ming urgently invited the American star to save the game.
There's a good chance that CBA's All-Star tickets won't sell. The CBA's All-Star Weekend will begin on March 2, so there are some disclosures that this year's All-Star tickets are not selling well.
Just over 3,500 people now want to tune in to the game, compared with 11,000 at last year's All-Star Game, according to ticketing sites.
In order to increase the number of spectators, the organizers have taken preferential measures, and the original ticket price of 1680 has dropped to 963, and the ticket price of 380 has fallen to 180. However, such a move would not completely solve the current problem, as this year's CBA All-Star audience is highly likely to record the fewest ever.
The All-Star Weekend in Xiamen has been held for two consecutive years, and this year's All-Star Game also has six players selected, why can't people still watch it?
I think there are three reasons for this: first, the poor results of the Chinese men's basketball team make people reluctant to pay attention to football, and after the Chinese men's basketball team was defeated by Japan in the 88-year unbeaten record in the World Cup, the Chinese men's basketball team did not participate in any formal tournament for nine consecutive months, so it missed the 2024 Paris Olympics. The fans were clearly unhappy with the result. The Chinese men's basketball team lost in the first two Olympics to the Japanese, and this is not the end.
The second CBA All-Star has lost its former demeanor, and it should have been ruled by foreign players, but this time, there was not a single foreign player, even if it was a substitute, does this mean that their results are not as good as the locals? In terms of scoring, rebounding and assists, the foreign players had overwhelming strength, but in this game, they didn't even show up. Hu Mingxuan and Zhao Rui were both selected as the "Best Players in the North and South Regions", but their strength is not as good as Yi Jianlian or Wang Zhizhi.
The three-point game of the All-Star Game is not very good, even the All-Star Game of the NBA, it is useless, and the three-point game of two weeks ago, in the end, is the best chance. The same goes for the CBA's All-Star roster, which is lacking"Desire to perform"of local foreign players are indeed unable to participate in the All-Star Game, and the biggest problem caused by the lack of superstar temperament is the lack of sufficient strength. Xu Jie, Zhou Qi, Zhang Zhenlin, these people have all been kicked out of the game by the national team.
With this kind of performance, this kind of team, this kind of level, who else would expect too much from this year's All-Star Game? For domestic players, All-Star is another form of entertainment, and Yao Ming, president of the Basketball Association, released two in the most anxious game"Big moves"。
First of all, the rules of the CBA are that unless they are injured or injured, they must participate in the competition to avoid the embarrassing situation of the absence of stars, such as Zhou Qi, Wang Zhelin, Zeng Fanbo, Sun Minghui, will stay on the court for personal reasons, which is the so-called "ticket".
Not only that, Yao Ming also"Transform"In the United States, with the help of Li Ning, the sponsor of the NBA, there are reports that NBA superstar Wade will attend the All-Star Game as a VIP, but Wade's legend is a thing of the past after all, and he can't save the dismal game in this game.
Yao Ming is facing not only All-Star Weekend, but also the depression of the CBA and even the Chinese men's basketball team, including how to manage the professional league well, how to develop young players, how to improve his team, all of which are far more than an All-Star. Jojevic has reached his task, he can't solve the problems of basketball, and at the same time he is also taken seriously by the basketball association.
