On the first day of the All-Star Game, 900 fans watched the game! Extremely embarrassing? There are more security guards and staff than fans, and the scene is deserted like the end of the world! Is Yao Ming embarrassed? Let's take a look!
Yes, this time the All-Star Game has been rumored to be bad at the box office since a few days ago, but the truth was revealed after the game last night! There were more security guards and staff than fans, and only 900 fans watched the game on the first day of the All-Star Games! What the hell is going on?
Perhaps, the Chinese men's basketball team's recent loss to Japan was doomed to the embarrassment of this All-Star Game. But how ridiculous is it that in a stadium with a capacity of 20,000 spectators, there are fewer than 900 people in the stadium? The average audience of the two Star Rui games is less than 500 people, and even in the CBA arena, there are few such embarrassing scenes. What's even more interesting is that when CCTV broadcast the game, it tried to hide the empty stands by dimming the lights, but unfortunately, the sparse empty seats were still clearly visible. The game was still fierce on the field, but there were few spectators in the stands.
Last year's All-Star Game had a total audience of more than 210,000, setting a record for the CBA All-Star Weekend in the past five years, this event not only attracted audiences from other places, but also brought huge economic income to Xiamen. However, it is almost impossible to repeat the glory this year. Even if former NBA supergiant Wade is invited to help, the organizers can only make money at a loss.
What is even more interesting is that after the Chinese men's basketball team lost to the Japanese team, the well-known reporter "Director Where I Lie" lashed out at Yao Ming, chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, on social **, pointing directly to the various problems of Chinese basketball led by Yao Ming in recent years. Although the rhetoric is fierce, it points to the current predicament of Chinese basketball: the league chaos, the national team's sluggish results, and even the emergence of black whistles and match-fixing, which are the root causes of the poor sales of tickets for the All-Star Game. Confidence is more precious than **, but how can Chinese basketball regain the confidence of fans? This is a question worth pondering.
What was supposed to be a lively feast turned into a lonely performance. Where is the enthusiasm of the fans? What is the future of Chinese basketball? Let's wait and see and look forward to the revival of Chinese basketball!
