at noon on september 4, the agency of former chinese professional basketball player yi jianlian released a statement on its official wechat account zhonghui sports, saying: recently, false information has appeared on self-media platforms about our company's agent athlete mr. yi jianlian acquiring the guangzhou long lions men's basketball team.

the statement said, "we have obtained mr. yi jianlian's authorization and hereby declare on his behalf that mr. yi jianlian has never had any intention to acquire the guangzhou long-lions men's basketball team, nor has he had any contact with the guangzhou long-lions men's basketball team regarding the acquisition of the team. mr. yi jianlian also has no intention or plan to acquire the guangzhou long-lions men's basketball team in the future. mr. yi jianlian will devote more energy to the development of youth basketball."

previously, a rumor that yi jianlian would spend 700 million yuan to acquire the guangzhou long lions basketball club surprised fans.

however, on september 3, the guangzhou long lions basketball club responded quickly and publicly refuted the rumor. the announcement clearly stated that the club had never had close contact with yi jianlian and had not received any investment intention from him.
