This year's CBA All-Star Weekend has officially begun, but the embarrassing thing is that the star lineup is not bright enough, many star players are unable to participate due to injury, and the fans are very scarce. On the first day of the All-Star Game, the entire arena was not even as large as the number of spectators for a conference-style game.
The situation was so ingenious that the gaffers did not dare to shine the spotlight on the audience, and the empty seats were embarrassing. The stadium, which can accommodate 20,000 fans, was only attended by a handful of spectators, players, and relevant ** and leadership staff. This situation is a bit embarrassing. Xiamen itself does not have a CBA team, and there is also a certain distance from the Fujian team, coupled with the men's basketball team's recent loss to the Japanese team, which made fans even more dissatisfied, and several players who have attracted much attention have also failed to play.
This has led to a very small audience, the Basketball Association and the CBA League have long anticipated this problem, and many tickets are not even sold at a discount, even if Wade and Yi Jianlian are invited to cheer up, the fans are still unmoved. Fortunately, the Collegiate United and the Slam Dunk Contest performed well and did not affect the performance because of the sparse audience, which can be regarded as an explanation to the live and TV audience.
The format of the CBA All-Star Game is getting more and more sluggish, and the basketball association and the league need to bear some responsibility. Even the all-star game of the women's basketball team far outnumbered the all-star game of the men's basketball team. Obviously, the record is the biggest problem. After Yi Jianlian retired, players such as Guo Allen and Zhao Rui were older and plagued by injuries, and the new generation of men's basketball players failed to take the lead, and the league performed well, but their performance in the international arena was mediocre, which was unconvincing.
Fans also have limited tolerance. Short periods of slump and the transition between the old and the new are acceptable, but it is the lack of future goals and the direction of efforts that are the most disappointing. Finding a way out for the CBA, rejuvenating the league and ushering in a new climax is the common expectation of the Basketball Association and all basketball lovers.
