Chinanews.com client Beijing, July 9 (Wang Hao) On the afternoon of the 8th, in the CBA regular season in Qingdao, Guangdong beat Qingdao 114:111, and locked the routine in advance with 6 games left. First place in the competition.
Several data can be easily listed. This is the 13th regular season champion in the history of the Guangdong team. This season's playoffs will be the 25th consecutive playoffs in Guangdong. They are advancing to the 10th championship in the history of the team...
In terms of honor, Guangdong is undoubtedly the most successful club in the history of the CBA league. Perhaps from its success, we can see what kind of clubs can achieve good results in the CBA league.
Youth training, youth training, or youth training!
In fact, from the first year of the CBA, Guangdong has always been a strong team in the league. But it was not until the 2003-04 season that they won the first championship in team history. And it relies on a group of outstanding players from their youth training system.

The so-called youth training, in addition to high-level training and competition, the selection of materials is also a very important part of it. Among the players who started the Hongyuan Dynasty, Du Feng is from Xinjiang, Zhu Fangyu is from Guangxi, Wang Shipeng is from Liaoning, and Yi Jianlian is a native of Guangdong. Recruiting talents is an important factor for their success in youth training.
Nowadays, players such as Hu Mingxuan, Xu Jie and Zeng Fanri, who represent Guangdong on the battlefield, are also the result of youth training. In contrast to this, Liaoning after the rematch this season, after losing strong foreign aid, Liaoning's performance has fluctuated, and the insider is even more stretched.
In fact, Liaoning has always been a big province of Chinese basketball talents, many national players were born in Liaoning, but why can not retain talent has become the key to the problem. Some people think that it is a major environmental problem, and some people think that it is the "pot" of the Liaoning basketball system. Regardless of the reason, the lack of youth training in the past few years has made this former king's teacher show weakness.
The comparison between Guangdong and Liaoning is not an example. Since the CBA rematch, Zhejiang and Guangsha, which have performed outstandingly, are all thanks to the young guards they have cultivated, so that they can sing forward without foreign aid.

Even if viewed vertically, most of the teams that have won the championship in recent years have done a good job in youth training. Now in troubled Liaoning, the year that won the championship happened to be the pinnacle of the group of youth players represented by Guo Ailun.
Money is not everything, no money is impossible!
In all kinds of professional leagues, the word "gold dollar" seems to be stained, which seems to be a false prosperity. But in today's professional sports world, "money ability" has already become one of the core competitiveness of the club.
Guangdong is not the most wealthy club in the CBA, but in recent years, the choice of foreign aid has been very “acceptable”. Last season, signing Beasley as the third foreign aid but only allowing him to eat ice cream on the sidelines is also a unique landscape of the CBA.
Xinjiang is recognized as a "rich wayward" in the alliance. In addition to selecting strong foreign aid, the joining of domestic aid such as Battle, Tang Zhengdong and Li Gen may also require a lot of expenses. This kind of investment finally brought Xinjiang the only championship in the history of the team in the 2016-17 season.

The Bayi men's basketball team, now in an awkward position in the CBA league, has frequently become a hot topic among fans. The consecutive bottom results in recent years and the contradictions within the team have made many people feel distressed about this former king's teacher.
The income question of the Bayi men's basketball team has been discussed repeatedly many times. Many fans believe that the player's income is not as good as other clubs, which is a key factor in combating player enthusiasm.
Of course, there is no official data on the income of players. However, the input of a team is actually evident from its staffing.
However, the "money ability" is not all-round. Xinjiang's investment for many years now only brings back one champion, and this season's foreign aid Stephenson signed a large price for Liaoning. Before the league was shut down due to the epidemic, there was always a run-in problem. It can be seen that the expensive things do have the benefits, but the expensive ones are not necessarily right.

Foreign aid as a savior, no different drinking thirst quenches thirst
Since the selection of MVP in the finals of the CBA League was opened to foreign aid, only local players Yi Jianlian won this award, and the rest were taken away by foreign aid. This shows the strong role of foreign aid in the CBA championship.
Even Guangdong, which is as strong as Yi Jianlian, has struggled in the playoffs for several years after winning the eighth championship. In those few seasons, the strength of foreign aid was generally low, resulting in a lack of overall team competitiveness. This is still the case in Guangdong. Other teams that are ranked lower and the strength of domestic players is relatively weaker are more dependent on foreign aid.
But interestingly, it is difficult for teams that rely on foreign aid to win the title to defend their titles. The only exception should be Beijing Shougang. With Marbury's super personal ability and good professional attitude, they once created a dynasty of three crowns in four years. And Sichuan, after losing three foreign aids, declined rapidly. Xinjiang lost to Guangdong in the finals last season. After the CBA rematch this season, Liaoning, whose all-Chinese team played but the back line was in a hurry, fluctuated after losing Hudson.
Of course, Xinjiang and Liaoning are still ranked very high in the league, but as a hotly contested team, fans have higher expectations of them. Zhou Qi and Guo Ailun are both in their fight years. Even if the use of foreign aid returns to normal next season, it is not impossible for them to really take over the team's banner from the foreign aid. Sichuan, after losing the advantage of three foreign aids, "judged two teams". After that championship, they have never been able to enter the top ranks of the championship. This season, they ranked fourth from the bottom in the playoffs. .

It can be seen that the game between the strong teams cannot work without strong foreign aid, but it is also difficult to maintain foreign power as a savior for a long time. The reasons are nothing more than the decline in foreign aid status, injuries, professional attitudes and salary changes. If domestic players are leaders, it will be much more stable.
For the teams that are ranked lower, strong foreign aid can help the team improve their results in a short time, but such strength is difficult to maintain for a long time. What's more, it is currently difficult to reproduce the story of the three foreign aids winning the championship. It is better to concentrate on training domestic players.
After the rematch, the progress of domestic players such as Sun Minghui of Guangsha, Wu Qian of Zhejiang, Jiang Yuxing of Jilin, etc., may give clubs some confidence to enable local players. (Finish)
