html On September 15, the Men's Basketball World Cup final took place between two football powers. The passionate Spanish flamenco danced on the Wukesong stadium. In this Men's Basketball World Cup, which has frequent upsets, the United States and Serbia, the favorites to win the championship, were blocked from the semi-finals at the same time. But the most disappointing thing for Chinese fans is probably the Chinese men's basketball team fighting at the door.
Starting from Zhou Qi's serving error, the Chinese men's basketball team this time went in the opposite direction to the fans' expectations. It narrowly lost to Poland and narrowly defeated South Korea. In the end, it still failed to qualify for the Olympic Games. Take a closer look at the Chinese men's basketball team in the five battles. We can't criticize them too much for their performance. After all, there are very few players who can cheer up in that situation at that time.
On the day after the finals, the ranking of the top 32 of this Men's Basketball World Cup came as scheduled. China became the worst host in the history of the Men's Basketball World Cup with 24th place, while Poland in the same group ranked 8th, tied. It was the best record of the Chinese team in the World Series. Fans and media who shouted "Shang Shang" and "Strongest in the group" before the start of the game were knocked out of breath by this loud "suffocating" stick. The Chinese team not only lost the qualification to pass directly to the Olympics, but also ranked 24th. It also created the worst record of the Chinese men's basketball team in the World Cup. According to domestic media reports, this year is the 18th World Cup since 1950. The previous 17 games were hosted by 14 countries. The Chinese team has become the host with the worst performance in the history of the World Cup. Prior to this, the host country with the worst performance was the Japanese team, which ranked 17th at the 2006 World Championships. In addition, all hosts are worst among the top eight.
Although Yao Ming said after the Chinese men's basketball team lost to Nigeria : "As long as there is a glimmer of hope, we will fight for it." After losing to Nigeria, China lost its best opportunity in the Men's Basketball World Cup, considering The qualifying round is full of strong European and American enemies such as Greece, Turkey, Slovenia. The difficulties and dangers on this road have long been clearly visible. There is a high probability that the Chinese men's basketball team will miss the Tokyo Olympics. Since the Chinese delegation returned to the Olympic family in 1984, the Chinese men's basketball team has never There has never been a case of missing the Olympics, and now this history may be rewritten.
The slogan of "striving for the best results and ensuring qualifying for the group" given before the game came to nothing with the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team. Now let's discuss the issue of who will bear the main responsibility. Obviously, it is not Chairman Yao's "I" It can be solved.
The defeat of the Chinese men's basketball team in this competition actually stems from a shallow understanding of world basketball. As Yao Ming said, this competition is for Chinese basketball to "open its eyes to the world." From Li Nan selecting five guards to Zhou Qi's fatal mistake, we can see that there is still a lot of confusion behind the scenes of the prosperous Chinese basketball world. For example, the performance of young players, the replacement of old and new players completely failed, and the issue of head coach selection all emerged from under the table after the "black-box operation" of this World Cup.
In the past, most of the qualifications for the Olympics depended on the intercontinental championships. The World Cup (and its predecessor, the World Championships) did not play an obvious decisive role in the Olympics. In other words, even if the Chinese men's basketball team lost in the Basketball World Cup (Basketball World Championships) It will face powerful enemies in Europe and the United States, but if it can defend its No. 1 status in Asia, it will be able to keep its Olympic tickets.
But this is no longer the case. For the first time in the history of the Basketball World Cup, Olympic qualifications have been taken away from the various continental championships and taken as their own. In other words, in the past, the Chinese men's basketball team's opponents for the Olympics were mainly Asian teams. But now, after the restructuring, the Chinese men's basketball team has to contend with powerful enemies in the world in order to win tickets. Nowadays, it is obvious that China cannot keep up with the ever-changing world basketball world. The fact that Spain and Argentina entered the finals fully demonstrates that the US team is not the only one. Even though Serbia, which sent all its main players, was eclipsed by Diamond Scola. Teams such as Poland , Czech Republic , etc. that are not the first team in Europe are full of dark horses. In addition to Turkey, which is also not going well, and Slovenia, which did not enter the World Cup, the Asian teams are like a contest between primary school students and college students in front of the European and American powers. Although A hot pick, but the gap in strength is too big.
In 1998, in order to discuss the development plan of basketball, the Basketball Management Center invited various basketball stars, CBA team executives, and senior reporters to a meeting at Peach Blossom Villa in the suburbs of Beijing. Two major inconclusive issues were left at the meeting. First, , how to cultivate talents for the national team; second, CBA league industry issues. It now seems that these two major problems have continued to plague Chinese basketball for so many years and still do so today.
Young players were completely dumb in front of the world's top teams. They did not dare to take action or break through their bodies and were suppressed by the opponent. Zhou Qi, Wang Zhelin and Guo Ailun were directly named and criticized on CCTV. But apart from them, China also Can we find young players who are better than them? The value is determined by the relationship between supply and demand. If the demand is large and the supply is small, the price will naturally rise. Obviously, the way to train players through national team training has reached a dead end. Open your eyes and see the world. At the same time, it is also necessary to eliminate the impetuous and blind external atmosphere to a certain extent, inspire the determination of the Chinese people to learn their shame and be brave, and create a calmer and more objective environment for Chinese basketball.
At the same time, the problem of CBA League and the national team's performance is far behind has also surfaced. , the CBA League is dominated by foreign players, and it is difficult for domestic players to become the core. They are more of a helper for foreign players. In this way, the growth rate of domestic players is limited, and they get There are relatively few opportunities to practice, and the CBA environment is also the same. Many players will enjoy star whistles, which makes many players' offensive methods seem nonsensical. When they enter the international arena, they will be very uncomfortable, resulting in an imbalance in the competitive level of mentality. . For questions about the league and the national team, you may wish to refer to Chinese Super League and the national football team. The AFC Champions League and the score of 1-5 are very eye-catching. At present, football has entered the fast lane of naturalization. How does Chinese basketball balance the relationship between the two? This is the end of this World Cup and the key issue to be resolved before the start of the CBA.
Fortunately, through this competition, the enthusiasm of Chinese fans has not diminished. Because they have witnessed the glory before, they have no regrets now. The specific rankings of
are as follows
1-10: Spain, Argentina, France, Australia, Serbia, Czech Republic, United States, Poland, Lithuania , Italy
