WUHAN Presnel Kimpembe Jersey , China, Jan. 24 (Xinhua) -- Yao Ming, an eight-time NBA All-Star and the president of the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA), says he expects the reforms he initiated to pay off by 2019 when China host the FIBA World Cup.


Yao, also the former backbone of the Chinese national team, is on a visit to Wuhan this week for a ceremony unveiling the mascot finalists for the 2019 tournament, which will be held in eight Chinese cities from Aug. 31 to Sept. 15 next year.


"Hosting the World Cup will inject a cardiac stimulant into Chinese basketball and make the sport develop in all aspects," said the 37-year-old on Tuesday night.


Yao was elected in early 2017 as CBA president as China was in search of new superstars and more glory for its national team, which had largely stalled since his retirement in 2011 and suffered an embarrassing no-win setback in Rio.


Yao has made a series of proposals regarding reform of the national team, professional league operation and youth cultivation.


"Before we choose the road for development, we need to make sure what fits us most and what prerequisites we already have," he said in the ceremony held at the Wanda Han Show Theater in Wuhan.


The most attention-getting of Yao's reform measures is the formation of two national teams, each with an independent coaching staff and roster, to alternately represent China at international events through 2018. The move aims to motivate coaches and players by creating competition between the two squads and involving as many young players as possible.


"Making the national team bigger and wider will enable us to see a clearer picture and make better choices," he said. The two teams are expected to merge for the 2019 FIBA World Cup and the 2020 Tokyo Olympics.


He said that some China University Basketball Association players have been allowed to play at the CBA All-Star Game because the CBA hopes to whip up basketball fever among Chinese schools and select more young rookies.


"Basketball faces stiff competition from sectors such as electronics sports in attracting the young generation," he said. "That's why we will encourage Chinese basketball to continue its cooperation with the education and entertainment sectors to create a platform where kids can enjoy learning different things simultaneously," Yao promised.




WASHINGTON, Jan. 24 (Xinhua) -- U.S. President Donald Trump will welcome his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron for an official state visit,the White House said Wednesday.


Macron has been invited to the White House for his "first state visit" under the Trump administration, said White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders at a daily briefing.


"The date is still being finalized and we don't have that yet done," Sanders said.


Macron's visit is scheduled for the end of April, U.S. media cited senior Trump administration officials as saying Tuesday.


Trump and Macron met and phoned each other several times last year. The two struggled to soften their divergence over climate change and trade liberalization by seeking common ground on security and the fight against terrorism.


Trump visited Paris in July 2017, weeks after the U.S. withdrawal from the Paris climate accord.

No one can force you to do this, but if you try it you’ll find that it can be very beneficial. Injuries early in the season are fairly common, but if you start off in good shape, this probably won’t happen to you.
