BEIJING， March 22 (Xinhua) -- An unnamed official with the newly established Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) League Beijing Sports Company Limited has called for referee professionalization in the CBA to be carried out as soon as possible.
This official also called Yao Ming's election as the president of the Chinese Basketball Association an epoch-making event. He also said he had raised the issue of referee professionalization before with Yao.
""If we want the league to be professional， then the coaches， players and the referees need to be professional as well. But the problem is the lack of proficiency among the referees. Only a dozen of them are capable of being chief umpire， and they are usually too old，"" said the official.
""Through professional operations， we need to reform the hereditary and apprentice system among referees. Judges should be selected according to criteria such as experience， physique， English language proficiency and professional integrity， and a professional training organization should be established as well. It takes 8 to 12 years to nurture a qualified referee， as he is responsible for the appeal， smoothness and impartiality of each game，"" the official added.
The official also called for the concentration of more efforts in youth training. He says the CBA should cooperate with the Ministry of Education to establish junior and senior middle school basketball leagues at the local， provincial and national levels in order to nurture more young talents for Chinese basketball.
The official also talked about the presence of foreign players in the CBA league. From his perspective， foreign players contribute greatly to the league， but a lack of domestic basketball talent remains a problem.
""There are 20 teams in the league， and in average， only 7 to 8 domestic players in each team are able to play regularly. So the total number is about 160， which is too small. Therefore we need to concentrate more efforts in youth training，"" the official said.

HANOI Customized Carolina Panthers Jersey , April 29 (Xinhua) -- Wearing big black earmuffs, holding a real U.S.-made M60 machine gun and fixing his sharp eyes on the target, Nguyen Quoc Vinh pulls the trigger, creating a continuous ear-splitting noise. The high school graduate from Vietnam's Ho Chi Minh City seems engrossed by glorified battles, like the real ones his grandparents were involved in 40 years ago. "I feel like Rambo. Using a heavy M60, Rambo makes bullets drop like rain Cheap Carolina Panthers Jerseys ,"Quoc Vinh said, breaking into a broad grin after firing dozens of bullets in fully automatic mode at the Cu Chi shooting range at the Historic Relics and Cu Chi Tunnel Complex in Ho Chi Minh City.
The young man, who has recently left Nguyen Thi Minh Khai High School in the city, told Xinhua that he would have fired some 500 rounds per minute if they had not been too costly at nearly 2 U.S. dollars per bullet.
Decades ago, bullets and bombs were used to kill or injure millions of soldiers as well as civilians during the Vietnam War, not to entertain ordinary people like Quoc Vinh in recent years. Forty years ago Thomas Davis Sr Panthers Jersey , on April 30, 1975, tanks of the Vietnam People's Army crashed through the presidential palace of the Saigon regime, just before the U.S.-backed South Vietnamese government surrendered to North Vietnam, ending the Vietnam War among many belligerent parties, including South Vietnam Greg Olsen Panthers Jersey , North Vietnam, the U. S., South Korea, Thailand, Australia and New Zealand.
These days, Ho Chi Minh City looks like a giant theme park with many streets shaded by fresh flowers and green trees Kawann Short Panthers Jersey , and symbolic buildings beautified by lighting effects and colorful panels. Downtown streets such as Dong Khoi, Nam Ky Khoi Nghia, Le Loi and Ham Nghi are lit up by LED lights displaying the national flag, flowers, doves and the number 40 which stands for the 40th anniversary of national reunification. The 262-meter high Bitexco Financial Tower, the third highest building in Vietnam Trai Turner Panthers Jersey , features laser lights which shoot out in all four directions.
Late at night, many small families and large groups of youngsters in stylish brand-named costumes go into the new trade center named SC VivoCity in District 7. On the 5th floor, many are queuing up to enter Vietnam's first and only IMAX cinema, which opened on April 19. They want to enjoy the latest U.S. blockbuster film "Avengers: Age of Ultron"in IMAX format on a large curved screen. On the night of April 28, many local movie-goers happily told Xinhua they have already watched the movie several days before its release in the U.S. "Early this year, I still thought that I would have to fly to Singapore or Thailand to watch IMAX movies. But now we can enjoy them at the CGV cinema just a short walk from our home Ryan Kalil Panthers Jersey ,"said Nguyen Thi Hang, a 38-year-old prosecutor.
Many find it hard to believe that Vietnam in general and Ho Chi Minh City in particular have experienced such drastic change since the war which ended 40 years ago. Beyond the big cinema screen lies the real secret to Vietnam's post-war success: its thriving industrial base.
Excluding some symbolic buildings which have remained almost unchanged since the war, such as Ben Thanh Market, the Independence Hall (the presidential palace of the Saigon regime) and the Immaculate Conception Cathedral Basilica, many areas in the city have, in recent years Luke Kuechly Panthers Jersey , been transformed from wasteland and slums into multi-storied buildings, including officer towers, supermarkets, entertainment centers and apartment blocks. High cranes, heavy bulldozers and bulky excavators are working there almost around the clock.
