Yao Ming's Response to the U17 League Ranking Controversy: Propose a Series of Modifications to the Competition | Ranking | Modifications
Recently, the final of the top 16 women's teams in the 2023 National U17 Youth Basketball League came to an end. The Shandong U17 women's basketball team and the Zhejiang U17 women's basketball team met in the finals, and in the end, the Shandong team defeated their opponents 96-63. But according to the overall ranking evaluation rules, based on the comprehensive competition results, quality and technical standards, and technical evaluation scores, Zhejiang team ultimately won the championship, while Shandong team won the runner up.
After the game, in response to external doubts, the official of the National Youth U-Series Basketball League explained the calculation method for the total ranking of the game.
It is understood that the total ranking of the competition is comprehensively evaluated based on the total score of the competition, the score of quality and technical standards, and the score of technical evaluation.
The calculation method is as follows: total score=competition score+quality and technical compliance score+technical evaluation score. Match score=x 75%; Quality and technical compliance score=× 15%; Technical evaluation score=x 10%.

After comprehensive measurement using this calculation formula, the Zhejiang U17 women's basketball team ultimately won the championship.
In the Shandong U17 women's basketball team, center Zhang Ziyu, who is 2.26 meters tall, is the core player in the team. Thanks to her height advantage, she performed with ease in the interior. However, due to their high height, their performance in quality and technical proficiency tests may be affected.
Although half a month has passed since this match, the heat has not diminished. Regarding this, Jiang Guan, the assistant general manager and event director of Shenzhen Basketball Sports, who is responsible for event operations, recently stated that the fundamental purpose of hosting U-series games and increasing investment in youth events is to build a good platform for young athletes, explore their love and potential for basketball, and cultivate excellent athletes.
"The rule for determining the overall ranking was established and implemented in 2012, and it has been 11 years since then. The purpose of establishing this rule is to encourage each team to pay attention to physical training and promote basic technical and skill training. Since its implementation, it has effectively played a role in guiding the training of each team, but there are also some shortcomings in the process." Jiang Guan explained.

In addition, he also discussed the idea of optimizing the future game system: "We hope to introduce more indicators and new technological means when evaluating the team from different dimensions, and optimize and improve the physical testing standards, items, and measurement indicators for special players, so that players can better enjoy the joy brought by the game."
Yao Ming, Chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, said, "We have discussed this issue internally and proposed a series of modification plans, which will be implemented after the current game cycle ends. We also hope to fully listen to the opinions and suggestions of all parties, actively optimize the league format, and contribute more exciting matches to the vast number of fans."
Meanwhile, Yao Ming also hopes that the U-series events can attract more social attention. It is understood that some social clubs have signed up to participate in the U14 and U15 competitions this season. The future U-series competitions are planned to be open to the public, and the organizers hope to attract more social clubs to join actively.
