The WCBA All-Star weekend that just ended in Hohhot, Inner Mongolia autonomous region, it is the first big thing of “Zhang Luo” since “The Great Wall of China” Batel took up his new post as chairman of Inner Mongolia Basketball Association. As his former comrade-in-arms, Yao Ming, the current chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, also came to the scene to help the team.

Compared with men’s basketball, the attention of women’s basketball is not good, but the WCBA All-Star night on the evening of 27th has a climax due to the surprising opening dance of women’s basketball players and colorful minority cultural performances, thunderous applause and cheers rang in the stadium from time to time.

“I believe that with the promotion of the Chinese Basketball Association, the performance level and attention of China’s women’s basketball will be higher and higher, and more people will participate in it. The 2018 Asian Games was a highlight of Chinese basketball. Four teams won four gold medals, of which women’s basketball gold medals were equally high.” Bartel said.

When the former chinese women’s basketball national players who won the silver medal of the 1992 barcelona olympic games led by zheng haixia and the women’s basketball national team members who entered the top four of the 2008 beijing olympic games led by miao lijie appeared in the stadium, the audience on the scene gave them endless applause, and Yao Ming also awarded them honorary uniforms.

In an exclusive interview with Xinhua News Agency, Bartel revealed his “chat record” with Yao Ming these days “.

“These days, I talked more about WCBA. Inner Mongolia Basketball Association is going to set up a women’s basketball club. In this regard, Yao Ming gave me a lot of good suggestions. I tried to gradually implement these ideas in the future work and do a good job in Inner Mongolia, a women’s professional club.” Bartel said.

As a former comrade-in-arms, battle and Yao Ming both fought for CBA and went to NBA successively. Now they serve as the chairman of the association in different levels of basketball associations. It is believed that his resume is somewhat similar to Yao Ming. Bartel hurriedly waved his hand and denied: “How can I compare with Chairman Yao? Yao Ming, as the chairman of the Basketball Association, may be better than him as a player. What I have to do is to learn more from him and learn his ideas and ideas.”

As the first Asian player to win the NBA championship ring, Bartel failed to win a CBA championship ring when fighting for CBA. When mentioning this, he asked jokingly, “Are you poking at my sore spot?”

“I don’t think the NBA championship has anything to do with me either. Although the CBA championship has something to do with me, I didn’t get it.” Bartel said half jokingly, “it is lucky to get the NBA championship ring. It is a pity that the domestic league has not won the championship, but I have done my best, maybe the level is not enough! If you have to choose between NBA and CBA, you may choose CBA. After all, you have won NBA (championship ring).”

For the future, Bartel said that he would devote more energy to the work of Inner Mongolia Basketball Association, “because basketball has given me everything, I also love this job very much, therefore, I will try my best to make a little contribution to the basketball career in my hometown”.
