姚明与女篮姑娘相会西雅图 惊现训练场一心护花

北京时间4月5日,赴美拉练的中国女篮已经抵达西雅图,与专程赶去观看她们比赛的姚明会合。明天上午中国女篮将与当地的WNBA风暴队进行赴美的首场热身赛。
今天,当地的《西雅图时报》报了一则短消息称:“休斯顿火箭队中锋姚明令人惊讶地出现在了风暴队的训练场上,陪伴中国女篮训练,他明天还将观看中国队与风暴队的比赛。”
与风暴队的比赛只是一场内部教学赛,当地媒体今天都没有过多提及这场比赛。
明天一名叫加德娜新人将来到西雅图报到,这些天来风暴队接连裁掉了三名球员,加德娜在2002年选秀大会上被犹他群星队选中,上个赛季她平均每场得到12.3个篮板,在WNBA中排名第三。明天与中国队的比赛,如不出意外,加德娜将上场证明自己。
同时需要证明自己的还有向前往WNBA发展的中国姑娘们,行前便有消息称,中国女篮队员将有机会与WNBA球队洽谈签约,自上月“三杰”遗憾落选后便有人猜测她们有可能将借此行促成登陆WNBA一事。如果签约成功,最早可以在9月的WNBA季后赛再次看到中国姑娘的身影。
与中国队的比赛,风暴将以试验阵容为主。今天风暴队官方网站发表文章称:“明晚风暴队将在训练场上与来访的中国女篮进行比赛,中国队在WNBA季前赛期间来美国拉练,她们将与蜂刺、太阳和震动队进行交手。为了备战与中国队的比赛,主教练多诺万让球队练习了快速回防。”
风暴队网站同时写道:“明天肯定是不同寻常的一天。”
从目前的情况来看,这场非正式比赛不会引起当地球迷太大兴趣,届时姚明将带领替补队员为中国队加油。
5月2日-20日,女篮将在美国进行为期大半个月的拉练,具体行程如下:5月4日对阵西雅图风暴,之后前往波特兰的耐克公司总部进行训练;第三站将是纽约,之后她们将与康涅狄格太阳队、2003年WNBA冠军底特律震动队及夏洛特蜂刺队进行比赛。5月20日全队返回中国。
姚明的回国日期基本定在本月中旬,据悉,姚明在观看完女篮在西雅图的比赛后,将不会跟随前往波特兰等地,姚明将回到休斯顿,休整几日后便回国。(巴乌)

北京时间4月29日,休斯顿火箭队的姚明和弗朗西斯共同拍摄了一组生活肖像照,让我们看到了两人与赛场上挥汗如雨有很大不同的形象,生活中的姚明和弗朗西斯也是如同在赛场上一般,写意潇洒自由自在。

NCAA in China
Dr. Bloom Shoots for Stars,
But He Has Few of Them;
7'6" Center 'Out of Gas'
By KAREN RICHARDSON
Staff Reporter of THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
April 22, 2004; Page A1
CHANGCHUN, China -- On a dingy basketball court in the center of a sprawling university campus here, 6-foot-6 freshman Wang Yangming's attempt at a three-point shot was smothered in a tangle of elbows.
From the sideline, Leonard Bloom forced a smile. "Well, let's just say there's a lot of room for improvement," he said.
Dr. Bloom, a sports promoter and former dentist, has made a modest name for himself in second-tier leagues. He owned the now-defunct American Basketball Association's San Diego Conquistadors, where Wilt Chamberlain briefly coached, and the short-lived Los Angeles Sharks of the World Hockey Association. Now, he's trying to pull off a long shot in China. For the past five years, Dr. Bloom has been working on building a modern basketball league -- with televised games, logos, sponsorships, even cheerleaders -- from the rubble of China's ossified college sports system.
A humbler version of Dr. Bloom's grandiose vision is scheduled to tip off, perhaps as soon as May 8, with the opening game of the Friendship Basketball League -- an eight-team university league. Most of the teams hail from China's frigid north, home to China's tallest people, where basketball, or lanqiu, is now played with a fervor once reserved for table tennis.
But Dr. Bloom's drive to Westernize China's sports culture isn't a slam dunk. His dream has already cost him more than $1 million, and he could wind up being on the hook for much more. The big-time sponsorships and TV deals he hopes will one day turn this into a money machine have yet to be sealed. His league's balls and uniforms still aren't ready.
Dr. Bloom, who declines to give his age, has built stadiums, concert venues and clubs from Florida to California. He says he first went to China in the late 1990s, after state education and sports officials got wind of some promotional work he had done in Russia.
China's sports system is still rooted in a socialist-style program that plucks promising gymnasts and divers from elementary school, and then secludes them in special academies where they train for the next decade. Though this has produced a fair share of Olympians, and some professional exports such as Houston Rockets center Yao Ming, it hasn't helped nurture home-grown amateur and professional leagues that produce a regular crop of world-class stars.
China's professional basketball league, the CBA, has been struggling since it was established in the early 1980s. Many university games are so haphazard that official scores or rankings sometimes fall by the wayside.
At one game two years ago, Mr. Bloom was stunned to find a 7-foot-6 center. "He could have been Shaquille O'Neal," Mr. Bloom recalls. But after grabbing one defensive rebound, the giant "ran out of gas," he says, and loped breathlessly down the court.
Dr. Bloom couldn't get universities to sign up for his league until he met Pei Haihong, director of the Public Physical Education and Research Institute at Jilin University in Changchun. With five campuses and 52,000 students, it is the country's largest school. A former guard for the Jilin Tigers, a CBA team, Mr. Pei had long been trying to raise the profile of university teams in China.
Dr. Bloom speaks no Chinese and has a hard time distinguishing between common names such as Chang and Zhang. But with the Mr. Pei as his guide and translator, he got to work. He handed out Chinese training manuals with daily exercises for stretches, endurance and the toning of fast-twitch muscles. He gave out copies of a 109-page rule book that he compiled by blending European and U.S. basketball rules and then had translated into Chinese. He made some changes: His rules allow for six fouls instead of the usual five, to make for feistier play. He also told the coaches that if their teams had mascots and better uniforms, they'd draw more fans to games.
Soon Dr. Bloom, a teetotaler, was being toasted with fiery sorghum wine at banquets by dignitaries and school deans eager to get their schools into a league that the American promised would lead to trophies and eventually royalties.
Dr. Bloom came up with new names, logos and uniforms for each school, a change for the Chinese players accustomed to shabby, ill-fitting game garb. Most of those changes went over well. But not all.
When he proposed that one university team be called the "Dynamos," Song Guangfa, the school's highest-ranking communist official, protested. Although in English the name seems fitting for a sports team, in Chinese it translates as "Driving Force Team." That, Mr. Song informed Dr. Bloom, "sounds like the name of a factory" from the era of China's now-discredited Cultural Revolution. Mr. Song suggested a proper Chinese name that has no English equivalent: "Pili," or "quick as lightning." Dr. Bloom accepted it.
Dr. Bloom plans to recoup the money his closely held company, Marquee Corp., has spent. He has signed on as the exclusive agent for all 80 league players for five years after they graduate, ensuring him a 10% cut of their contracts if they go pro. That share would be high, though not unheard of, for an NBA promoter. University officials have agreed to let Dr. Bloom sell league merchandise on campus -- including about 100,000 of the regulation Friendship balls he designed -- for half the profits.
The balls come in eye-catching red-and-yellow, the colors of the Chinese flag. But though they're manufactured in China, they're weeks late in delivery. Not all of the uniforms have been ordered because at least one university hasn't settled on four players in its lineup. "Sometimes things like this will happen when you're doing something for the first time," he says.

难得一见!

我看国内并非没有"懂得体育产业商业运行的人才"(中国的事情要说简单也很简单,很多事情都有现成的成功范例可以借鉴),可关键是国内的体育机制,涉及到目前制定游戏规则人的切身利益,可不是一下能有重大改变的(除非有崩溃性事件).
国内看似能赚钱的行业不少,但很多都要准备和制度打持久战...
