Although the new CBA season has not started until December because it gives way to the National Games, the transfer market this season is more lively than in any previous season. According to statistics, this summer, all 20 CBA teams have transferred 3 exclusive signing rights, 3 matching contracts due, 17 free agents claim 18 transfers, 7 loans, a total of 48 transactions, and four new overseas students are added. It hit a record high in the past three seasons, and it can be called the most "lively" summer in CBA history.
The heavy trading this season mainly appeared in the three teams of Beijing, Guangzhou and Shanghai. Beijing BAIC introduced the national team captain Zhao Rui to strengthen the last shortcoming and become one of the three favorites to win the championship. The Shanghai team introduced Zhang Zhenlin, the star of Liaoning Basketball Team, and the team was also ready to win the championship. Guangdong Hongyuan was even more radical. In the face of the change of new and old, they used the National Games window to "use the same trick again" to complete the multi-person transaction, and introduced Cui Yongxi and Jiao Boqiao to complete the reconstruction. Created a brand new Guangdong team. It is in sharp contrast with the decline of its old rival Liaoning Basketball Team.
In addition, Chen Linjian joins Shandong Expressway and Jiang Yuxing joins Liaoning Basketball Team are all the leading stars. This was also a rare thing in the past.
Through several big deals this year, the CBA competitive landscape began to change. In addition to the defending champion Zhejiang Guangsha maintaining its stable lineup, the former Liaoning-Guangdong competition no longer exists. In the quarterfinals last season, Liaojiang basically lost the opportunity to win the championship when he let go of his star, and Qingdao Guoxin and Chouzhou Jinzu will also lose their competitiveness when they let go of his inside players Yang Hansen and Yu Jiahao to study abroad. It should be said that the CBA will usher in a major reshuffle in the 25-26 season. The new competitive landscape will mainly revolve around Beijing, Shanghai and Zhejiang. With this big deal as the background, the CBA will also usher in huge changes in expansion or promotion.
Three new features have emerged in the transfer market this season,
The first is that big fish appear frequently,
From Zhao Rui joining Beijing BAIC, Zhang Zhenlin joining Shanghai Jiushi, and Cui Yongxi joining Guangdong Hongyuan. The three major teams' leading stars transferred together, which was unimaginable in past CBA transactions. If you compare these three transactions with Zhou Qi's transfer, you will find that if the conflicts and conflicts in the past are put in five words now: that's not a problem! If the team had the current trading mindset, how could there be any ridiculous things like Xinjiang team withdrawing from the competition? Big names are no longer non-selling products, which is the biggest change in the CBA transfer market this season. The shackles of the maximum salary locked in people were completely broken.
The personal wishes of the second player have begun to be valued. In this year's transfer market information, a word has been mentioned many times: The forced melon is not sweet! Many teams realize that forcibly locking others is not good for themselves. The players' personal wishes began to be accepted by the team. Whether it was Zhao Rui's transfer or Zhang Zhenlin's transfer, or even Guangzhou Gemini joined Hongyuan at the same time, it can be seen that respecting personal wishes is a prerequisite. The transfer between Zhao Rui and Zhang Zhenlin was completely dominated by personal wishes.
The third team started in the business mode, and the club puts money first
Although no official disclosure of the transfer fee, whether Zhao Rui's transfer to BAIC or Zhang Zhenlin's transfer to a long time will bring a considerable income to the parent team, which is a fact that no one can change. The "internal" transaction between Guangdong and Guangzhou Dragon and Lion is also the role of money as a stabilizer. When Chen Guohao's exclusive signing rights completed the transaction with 20 million, anyone could see that the transaction this season was really leveraged by money. The CBA has developed for more than 30 years, and it was not until this season that the club's business model really changed. Although this kind of cognition came a little late, it still came after all!
Sometimes the reality is really cruel. The CBA commercialization model promoted by Yao Ming has lasted for so many years, from diversified player training models and the development of small basketball as the basis, to standardizing player contracts, standardizing CBA business model, and then to the player salary limit. Solve the upper limit and sustainable development problems of CBA investment. These measures did not really bear fruit until Yao Ming stepped down from the position of chairman of the Basketball Association: Yang Hansen successfully made an NBA victory and was selected by the Trail Blazers with a 16th pick. It has become a landmark event in the rise of Chinese basketball again. In the Asian Cup and the U16 Asian Cup, although the Chinese men's basketball team lost to the Australian Kangaroos in the finals. But in essence, the Chinese men's basketball team returned to the top of Asia in two lines, and the commercialization of CBA transfers has begun. The business value of players is gradually reflected and fulfilled. Transfers to big names are no longer an unsolvable problem. Players' transfers will never be carried out by both sides breaking the tables.
I don’t know what Yao Ming would feel when he sees the changes now!
