On June 9, Beijing time, media person "Fu Zhenghao MVP" updated social media to say that it was not Yao Ming's idea to choose Guo Shiqiang to coach the Chinese men's basketball team.

The original text of the media person is as follows: (partial)

According to multiple sources, Guo Shiqiang is indeed a candidate for the new head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team. Although there are still a series of approval processes to go through, if there is no accident, it is basically determined that it is him. This will be Guo Shiqiang's second time as the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team since 2009. Current coach Djordjevic's contract expires in August.

The leadership of the Chinese Basketball Association should take a long-term perspective and re-select high-level foreign teachers is a responsible attitude. I have to sigh that all of Yao Ming's men's basketball coach choices in the top position of the Basketball Association may end in controversy, although the choice of Guo Shiqiang this time is not Da Yao's own idea, but the performance of these coaches is indescribable.

In CCTV's interview program in March this year, Yao Ming accepted Yu Jia's question, and Yao Ming did not reveal that the Chinese men's basketball team had plans to change coaches. On the contrary, he constantly praised Djordjevic's resume and coaching ability, mainly recognizing his rich coaching experience and coaching experience in a diverse environment, which is in line with Yao Ming's expected plan to rebuild the Chinese men's basketball team and gradually integrate with world basketball.

Yao Ming has repeatedly mentioned that the Chinese men's basketball team has derailed from European basketball and world basketball, and domestic coaches lack the ability to coach international high-level competitions. At the same time, Djordjevic has coached European teams for many years, and led the team to achieve good results in European competitions and the World Cup, making him a good candidate to serve as the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team. So after the Chinese team lost the World Cup and missed the Paris Olympics, when Djordjevic's coaching ability fell into the whirlpool of public opinion, Yao Ming supported Djordjevic. Yao Ming said bluntly in front of reporters, "I am helping Dorjevic prepare for the Asian Cup qualifiers in February next year. ”

And both of them have publicly stated that Chinese basketball needs to go through a long-term stage if it wants to become stronger, such as letting more young players understand how the European basketball system works, so the Basketball Association has organized a number of short-term national team training camps in just one year, so that a large number of young players can enter the training camp to adapt to Djordjevic's coaching philosophy.
