On the evening of December 29, accompanied by the song “Broader Sea and Sky”, the Guangdong team’s No. 9 jersey slowly rose in the Dongguan Basketball Center. This jersey that has accompanied Yi Jianlian for 21 years officially announced his retirement. Since then, there has been another legendary witness in the sky above this arena, and a story has been sealed, becoming a resonance in the memories of Yi Jianlian and the fans.
Since wearing the Guangdong Hongyuan jersey in the 2002-2003 season, Yi Jianlian has won 7 CBA championships for the team. That night, more than 16,000 fans poured into the Dongguan Basketball Center. They put on the legendary No. 9 jersey early in the morning, dyeing the entire stadium into a sea of red.
At the end of the ceremony, Yi Jianlian, dressed in a suit, bowed to the fans and waved goodbye. It was difficult to say goodbye when we met, but Yi Jianlian turned around and left. There will no longer be an “Era of Yi” in Chinese basketball.
