The Chinese men's basketball team is currently at the lowest point in history, two consecutive head coaches Li Nan and Djordjevic coached have ended in failure, the painful senior leaders decided to work hard to change this status quo, and strive to be ashamed in the next men's basketball World Cup, first Gong Luming re-appointed as a full-time director of the men's basketball team, and then Guo Shiqiang took over the men's basketball team as an assistant coach.
Although Coach Guo Shiqiang coaches the Chinese men's basketball team as an assistant coach, anyone with a discerning eye can see that Coach Guo has become the actual coach of the men's basketball team. Guo Shiqiang's coaching ability is obvious to all, he first helped the Liaoning men's basketball team win the first championship in team history during the club period, and then led the Guangzhou men's basketball team to get rid of the attributes of the fish belly team, and continuously entered the playoffs and even reached the quarterfinals. During the national team, Coach Guo served as an assistant coach for a long time, and worked hard both in Li Nan and by Djordjevic's side.
According to the idea of the Basketball Association, the new Chinese men's basketball team was quickly assembled mainly by young people, including the young player Zhao Weilun who lived overseas was also recalled, such as Zhou Qi, Zhao Jiwei, Zhang Zhenlin and other national team regulars were turned away. The men's national basketball team under the guidance of Guo Shiqiang appeared with a new look, which received wide attention from the majority of fans, and soon the Chinese men's basketball team ushered in the first opponent of the warm-up game, but it also exposed a lot of problems, and at the same time, Guo Shiqiang's guidance was also criticized.
Soon the long-awaited first game was lost to an Internet celebrity team in Macau, the whole Chinese team except for Liao Sanning's qualified performance everyone else was unsatisfactory, and Guo Shiqiang's approach to some things was also quite controversial, first of all, the 28-year-old Gao Shiyan was given a lot of playing time in the game, which is contrary to the concept of the new Chinese men's basketball team.
The second is that the 19-year-old Zhao Weilun, who is generally favored by the outside world, acted as a "ball boy" in the team, and Xiao Zhao, who gave up the Italian league final, responded to the call to return to China thousands of miles away, but did not get the opportunity to play.
The third is that the 20-year-old Lin Wei was kicked out of the national team because of the tense relationship with the head coach, you must know that Lin Wei has become the local core of the Nanjing team in the past two seasons, and its big heart attribute is undoubtedly revealed, but it is a pity that he was wiped out just a few days after entering the national team.
After experiencing the above things, Guo Shiqiang, who has just taken office, has been criticized by many people, and even has some calls for resignation, I have to say that the position of the coach of the Chinese men's national basketball team is really a hot potato, no matter who takes over, there is a risk of being scolded!
