Who said there is no such thing!

Battelle, a well-known CBA center and the first player to win an NBA championship ring, has blossomed in both culture and sports.

He has appeared in many well-known film and television dramas, such as "October Siege", "Journey to the West to Conquer the Demons", "The God of Wealth Arrives", "Azure Hanggai", etc., and has become a movie star .

There is also Sun Mingming, a center taller than Yao Ming. He often appears as a big guy in movies and has also appeared in sketches.

Ma Jian, a well-known basketball commentator, has blossomed in both culture and sports. He is acting, commentating, appearing in variety shows, and chatting with netizens.

Current stars, Guo Ailun and Yi Jianlian, are also frequent guests on variety shows.

There is also Sun Yue, who plays ball, dances, sings, talks about cross talk, and raises elephants. He is proficient in everything. He has released records, and his song "I Wish You Peace" has become famous all over the world.

Well, let’s stop talking and let’s get back on track.

There are few players in the CBA who are talented in both culture and sports, and this is generally inseparable from the following points.

1. The cultural level is not high.

Most of the players are within the system. They have been training in the echelon since childhood and have not had any social experience. There are not many entertainment projects in daily life. The team is strictly managed and few of them have gone to college. After Yao Ming took office, he opened the draft for college students, which improved the cultural level of CBA players as a whole.

Compared with the NBA, starting from Howard's year, basically all players came out of college. Although many people did not finish college, at least the cultural level was much better than that of the older generation of NBA players.

2. Cultural differences

There are many differences between the open culture of the United States and ours. They are more open. For example, during this epidemic, Americans have done a lot of crazy things for freedom. thing.

3. Racial differences

You also have to admit that in the fields of sports and music, black people are indeed very talented. This is true all over the world, and everywhere in the NBA They are all black players, and quite a few of these people come from the slums. What is there in the slums? Of course, it’s singing, dancing, rap, and basketball. Under the influence of this street culture, as a black player, you are embarrassed to say that you can’t sing, dance, rap, and basketball.

4. China’s entertainment industry is not easy to mess with

There is no need to elaborate on this point. Not everyone can enter the entertainment industry, such as Sun Yang, Liu Xuan, and Zou Shiming. After all, they are in the minority, and they are the best in their respective fields. If CBA players want to enter the entertainment industry, they must either be very talented or handsome, and of course the most important thing is to play well. , forget it, you don’t have any traffic, who would want to visit you? Producing a record is not an easy task. Making music is quite expensive, and in China, most music makers don’t make any money. With the annual salary of CBA players, let’s forget it. How can you make tens of millions of dollars a year? Want to compete with the NBA?

Generally speaking, in China, you should just play your game honestly. If you can't play well, how can you flourish in culture and sports?

The recent diss incident between Gordon and Wade that caused a stir on the Internet has made us re-recognize Gordon, a very talented rapper and dunk king. Long ago, there was more than one player in the NBA who released an album. Trail Blazers star Lillard and Pacers star Oladipo are both music enthusiasts and released their first albums early.

In comparison, the players in our own CBA league are more like professional players. Apart from professional playing and gossip, they don’t seem to have left much trace in the literary and art circles. I think there are several reasons for this situation:

Chinese culture and American culture are fundamentally different. Westerners advocate freedom and pursue individuality, which is reflected in their lives. In every little thing. Even if you are a professional player, when you stop playing and find that people around you are engaged in all kinds of imaginative hobbies, you will unconsciously join them. As for which industry to choose, it all depends on your own passion. . The United States is a center of world exchange. The impact of multiculturalism has caused the United States to form its own unique cultural system. Among them, music is the bridge that I think can touch everyone the most. This is probably the reason why most NBA professional players like to use their own unique music methods to express their true inner feelings!

Chinese people pay attention to returning fallen leaves to their roots and doing good to the family. In fact, most professional players in China still focus on their families. After returning home from the game, it is more important to accompany their wives and children, so that they can have a sense of belonging in their hearts. Playing professional basketball is their job, and after work, family and social life take up a large part of their lives. Naturally, after the baptism of time, they gradually gave up their original hobbies and slowly returned to peace. If they were allowed to choose to pursue their hobbies and lose time with their families, I believe that the vast majority of players would give up their hobbies, because in their eyes, family always comes first.

To sum up: The reason why NBA and CBA players have such a big gap in style and sports, I think the most important point is cultural differences. Westerners' advocating freedom and Chinese people's family-oriented approach, two completely different styles, will naturally form two different types of players!

In the current worldwide shutdown period, almost all mainstream professional leagues around the world are unable to start games, and China's CBA League is no exception.

On days when there are no games, each CBA team can only start closed training to maintain the health and competitiveness of the players as much as possible. However, the lack of actual combat is still very inconvenient for players after all. Regarding this, it is necessary for many teams to find ways to organize and provide some opportunities for actual combat.

With the CBA league likely to restart this season in July, many teams have officially announced a holiday and will wait until May to regroup. Although the Xinjiang Men's Basketball Team has reduced the amount of training during this period, it did not take a direct vacation. Instead, it thought of some interactive methods, such as the recent internal competition within the company.

In this game, all local players of the Xinjiang Men’s Basketball Team played, including veteran Xirelijiang and main center Zhou Qi. Compared with Xirelijiang, Zhou Qi's performance was quite lazy and he looked listless throughout the game. Xirelijiang is full of energy and very active, and you can see his desire for the game.

In fact, Zhou Qi has not been enthusiastic about competitions for a long time. He always seems to be a little sparing in competitions. In such an insignificant exhibition match, Zhou Qi was even less enthusiastic and seemed to be perfunctory.

According to previous reports, the CBA league is expected to restart with an all-China class this season, which requires top local players including Zhou Qi to step forward. But if he can't take ordinary games seriously, then it may be even more difficult for Zhou Qi to concentrate in official games.

Off the court, Zhou Qi has received a lot of negative news. He even received a lot of criticism from fans at the Basketball World Cup last year. To prove himself, Zhou Qi needs to accumulate bit by bit in daily life.

Many NBA stars have careers outside of basketball. People like Lillard, O'Neal, Iverson, Oladipo and others have released records. Hayward is an e-sports expert. Even Jordan retired and played baseball for a few years.

On the contrary, in the CBA league, the life of players is relatively monotonous. Apart from basketball, they seem to have few interactions with the outside world. This is actually caused by many factors.

First, players are trained in different ways

Many CBA players come from youth teams in various provinces and are athletes trained by the country, so they need to work hard for their respective sports teams. Fight hard, and you must try your best. If players develop side jobs, it will undoubtedly cause dissatisfaction with the team and even the sports bureau.

Most NBA players come from the field of campus basketball. Even if they have a contractual relationship with a certain team, they only need to do their job well on the court. What they do off the court depends on the ball. The team has no right to interfere because this is the player's freedom.

Second, fans have different values ??

In the NBA, player development side jobs are praised as versatile. But in the CBA, the sideline of player development will be criticized as not doing the real job.

A typical example is Guo Ailun. He was called an "Internet celebrity" by many anti-fans because he participated in variety shows. However, in fact, participating in variety shows did not affect his basketball career.

Such a result has also led to the relatively simple amateur life of domestic players.

And this is not just the case in basketball circles. Retired high jumper Zhang Guowei was also criticized by his fellow juniors who are also members of the national team because of his participation in a variety show.

It can be said that in China, every word and deed of athletes is burdened with relatively high pressure from public opinion.

People often say that culture and style cannot be separated, so how can they blossom at the same time? Let’s talk about it in detail:

Among NBA stars: players like O’Neal, Kobe, James, Iverson and other players are very important figures in their own basketball fields, such as playing style and dressing. , and entertainment personality reasons, etc. The most important thing is the large number of fans. For example, people often say that Kobe Bryant has 6 billion fans, Iverson’s hip-hop style that influenced a generation of fans, O’Neal’s funnyness, and James’ domineering attitude on the court are all based on Certain strength and

Compared with CBA, the exposure rate is not that great. At the same time, considering its own strength, league level, number of fans and other comprehensive factors, such a situation will occur.

Generally speaking, my own strength is still poor. I have not reached a certain height in my own field, and I do not have the talent in the entertainment industry. Therefore, if I want to flourish in both culture and sports, I must first have a certain level in my own field. strength. At the same time, it can reach a certain height, which will also have a certain impact on cross-border development.

This is a great question. The boundaries between sports circles, entertainment circles and the top wealthy circles in the United States are very blurred, and many people are involved in two or even two of them. There are also signs of this in China, but they are just signs.

The reason for the difference, or gap, between the CBA and the NBA is, on the surface, the difference between people. The deeper reason is the education system and social environment of the two countries towards sports and music. Differences, differences in the entertainment styles of the two countries, and differences in the target markets of the sports industry and entertainment industry between the two countries.

1. In the American education system, physical education is as important to students as cultural classes. In other words, the American education system pays more attention to physical education than the Chinese education system. In the United States, schools, sports facilities, and time for sports activities are abundant at every stage. In Western educational concepts, sports can cultivate a person's perseverance, endurance, stress resistance, teamwork ability, etc. Therefore, in Western schools, team ball games tend to be taken seriously.

As one of the most mainstream ball sports in the world today, basketball has an extremely wide audience in the United States. From elementary schools to middle schools in the United States, competitions at various regional levels and in various units are in full swing. Some people say that if you just patronize it for fun, you will be dumbfounded if you can't get into college! There must be many people who think this way, but if you are good at basketball, you can apply for college. When you get to college, you can continue to play basketball. If you make a name for yourself in the NCAA, you will naturally become the target of NBA scouts. You can participate in the draft and enter the NBA to get a high salary and directly enter the high-income group.

2. The American entertainment industry and the NBA are both developing industries for the world. This means that in addition to developing the international market, it can also attract specialized sports talents and entertainment talents from the international market. There are talents, and these talents have strong cross-border capabilities.

3. Ordinary people in American society are more willing to consume sports and entertainment and have more time to spend. An ordinary American office worker basically has three days off a week. Some jobs allow more time for rest. So they have more time for entertainment and sports activities. For ordinary people in China, the official rule is to take two days off per week. In fact, many people cannot take two days off due to the pressure of life. The reduction in rest time means that once you take a break, you will never go to watch a game or a music concert. You will choose the fastest way to rest, which is to watch mobile videos, live broadcasts, and TV variety shows! So you can see that more Chinese basketball players participate in variety shows.

I don’t have time. Where can I find the time? I’m so busy that I don’t even have time for training
