Just today, a piece of news instantly detonated the basketball circle. Yi Jianlian, a representative figure of Chinese basketball, suddenly announced his retirement, and his decision surprised and regretted everyone. Last season, Yi Jianlian played for Guangdong Hongyuan Basketball Club, playing in all 32 regular season games, averaging 10.8 points, 6.5 rebounds, 1.1 assists and 1.2 steals in 22.0 minutes per game, shooting 46.2% from the field and 37.1% from three-point range.
It can be said that Yi Jianlian's competitive state is still excellent, so in the offseason, there were rumors that Yi Jianlian planned to play for the Guangdong men's basketball team for another year and chose to sign a short-term contract, but more news pointed to retirement, first of all, Yi Jianlian did not appear on the training ground of the Guangdong men's basketball team, and secondly, Yi Jianlian did not see Yi Jianlian in the warm-up game, so there was an omen from that time, and the outside world has begun to speculate that Yi Jianlian may retire, and sure enough, the final return is coming.
Just after Yi Jianlian announced the end of his 21-year basketball career, Zhu Fangyu, general manager of the Guangdong team, immediately revealed the reason for Yi Jianlian's retirement in the live broadcast, saying: "It is really because of the physical reasons and injuries of the UAE, and it has nothing to do with anything else." Because it involves his privacy, it is not convenient for me to talk too carefully to everyone in the live broadcast room, there are too many things involved, and I need to respect this point of his privacy. ”
Zhu Fangyu's words seem to have words, after explaining the 2 major reasons for Yi Jianlian's retirement, the following words seem to have hidden feelings, and after expressing that they have nothing to do with other things, they added a few sentences involving privacy and more, which is completely a bit of a feeling that there is no silver here 300 taels. According to outside speculation, the reason why Yi Jianlian chose to retire may be related to the injury in the playoffs, of course, some people speculate that Yi Jianlian, who has always started, may return to the bench after the team introduces a new center, but the players who can make Yi Jianlian willingly play as substitutes do not seem to exist in the CBA, so they chose to retire after comprehensive consideration.
It is worth mentioning that in August this year, the CBA ushered in a blockbuster transaction, Zhou Qi joined the Guangdong team, Zhao Rui went to the Xinjiang team, this news and Yi Jianlian's retirement is also unexpected for many people, so some netizens speculated, is there some connection between the two?
We don't know yet, but Yi Jianlian's retirement has filled people with speculation and expectations about his future. Many hope that he will transition to coaching or commentators and continue to contribute to Chinese basketball. At the same time, there is also some speculation that he may choose to withdraw from the public eye and focus on family and life. No matter what Yi Jianlian's future choices are, his retirement has left a deep thought for the Chinese basketball community, and I wish the UAE all the best!
