As we all know, Guangdong has three CBA teams, namely Guangzhou Dragon Lion, Guangdong Hongyuan and Shenzhen Cheetah. Maybe many fans will have questions, why there are three CBA teams in Guangdong, but many provinces don't even have one CBA team?
there are many reasons involved. On the one hand, many provinces previously owned CBA teams, such as Yunnan Honghe, Henan Renhe and so on.
Among them, Yunnan Honghe announced its dissolution due to its own economic problems. Renhe, Henan, also moved to Shanxi.
on the other hand, it takes a lot of manpower, material resources and financial resources to form a CBA team, which is by no means easy.
Let's start with the simplest. Players and coaching teams need to be paid (this is by no means a small amount), renting or building stadiums needs expenses, and the team also needs daily expenses.
For many economically underdeveloped provinces, enterprises are reluctant to spend money to set up teams. With the increasing competitive pressure of CBA, the investment of each team is also increasing invisibly.
On the other hand, basketball is a sport that burns money. If you want to win the championship, you need to be willing to invest.
for enterprises, spending money to establish a team is to further enhance corporate visibility on the basis of maintaining a balance of payments. But the real problem is that among the 2 existing CBA teams, there are not many that can really make profits.
furthermore, there is no clear plan for the expansion of CBA. For example, Anhui Wenyi is a relatively mature team. They have introduced Gong Luming, who coached the China men's basketball team, and there are many excellent players in the team. In NBL league, Anhui Wenyi is an absolutely strong team. Not only that, Anhui Wenyi has also invested a lot of energy in youth training. Even so, Anhui Wenyi wants to enter the CBA, which is after 222.
Some fans may say that there is not a strong basketball atmosphere in some provinces, or there are not many basketball talents. Indeed, these are all reasons.
At present, CBA has 2 teams. In the future, whether the CBA league will expand its troops or whether more teams will join the CBA family, let us wait and see!
