Live broadcast on July 5th, according to the media person @ Fu Zhenghao MVP report, the Chinese Basketball Association intends to lead the creation of an East Asian basketball league.
The following is the original @ Fu Zhenghao MVP Weibo report:
Yao Ming mentioned the plan to form the East Asian basketball league. When making the report “work plan of China Basketball Association 2023”, he clearly stated that he supported East Asian Basketball Association to launch a brand-new regional basketball brand competition, including Japan, South Korea, Mongolia, top basketball clubs in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan participated.
Before this year’s two sessions, Yao Ming proposed to “breed native brand events with international or regional significant influence”, which actually refers to the East Asian basketball league. Seeing that the West Asian Super League (WASL) is colorful, the Asian Basketball League also hopes to have a similar East Asian league. The East Super League held by Matt in East Asia is also a cross-regional event. At the beginning of this year, it also announced that it had active interaction with the Chinese Basketball Association and planned to invite CBA clubs to participate in the competition. However, for now, the Chinese Basketball Association is more willing to lead a new East Asian basketball league.
The Chinese Basketball Association is the most influential national association in East Asia, and Yao Ming is also the chairman of the Asian Basketball Association. It is also a logical move for the Chinese Basketball Association to lead the preparation of the East Asian basketball league.
