Is the Bayi basketball team going to be renamed?
Today, the Eighth Comprehensive Engineering Brigade has completed the transformation of its subordinate relationship. The Eighth National Workers' Brigade with a history of 66 years has come to an end today. According to the relevant regulations after the transfer, all names with the word "August 1st" will no longer be used (the league teams will continue to use it this season). This means that next season, no matter CBA or WCBA, there will be no more teams named "Bayi".
Bayi Work Team, called China People's Liberation Army Bayi Sports Work Brigade, is a subordinate unit of the Culture and Sports Bureau of the Propaganda Department of the General Political Department of China People's Liberation Army. Focusing on sports work, the brigade aims to enrich the amateur cultural life of officers and men, guide the troops to carry out sports activities and train professional competitive athletes. Bayi Team was established in 195 1, which has trained outstanding athletes from generation to generation for China.
For CBA fans, Bayi Team is not only a spiritual existence, but also a feeling. Bayi team won the championship eight times in CBA history. In this iron army, outstanding players and coaches of China men's basketball team have emerged from generation to generation, such as Liu Yudong,,,, and Moco. Bayi women's basketball team is also the champion, including Zheng, Yan Feifei, Yan Feifei, Lu Wen and so on. It can be said that in every generation of women's basketball national teams, Bayi women's basketball team is one of the strongest.
After the transfer, the Bayi Industrial Brigade will be attached to the Military Sports Training Center of the Training Management Department of the Military Commission, and the team to which the original brigade belongs will no longer be named "Bayi" except the team that participated in the league this season.
