From the beginning of the 2012 London Olympics to now, the Chinese men's basketball team has been defeated when encountering strong teams. Not to mention world-class strong teams, they have lost face in Asia. They lost to Taipei, Japan, South Korea, Iran , and even the second team even lost to Super Yunan Indian team. In the past ten years, the Chinese men's basketball team has won the fifth place in Asia three times, led by Yannakis, Gong Luming and Du Feng.
Although Iran's golden generation has come to an end and the Iranian men's basketball team has become a fish belly, Japan and South Korea are still not good friends. The Japanese team Hachimura is the main force of NBA. Yuta Watanabe also played a major role in the rotation last season and is a great threat to the Chinese men's basketball team. South Korea has always been our bitter enemy. Although we have won the last few games, the victory was very thrilling, and the points difference was all within three points.
Now the gap between men's basketball team and the world's top teams is getting wider and wider, and it is all-round. Basic skills, shooting, free throws, confrontation, execution, running, defense, tactical literacy, etc. are all not on the same level. Every strong team is defeated in one quarter and is immediately defeated, without the ability to fight back. It's like a primary school student playing against a college student. Once the opponent comes up against the opponent, it's very difficult to pass the ball, let alone shoot, and very few people can hold the ball firmly without making mistakes, let alone shooting.
His outside shooting ability is too poor and his shooting percentage is appalling. Although he can break through, when faced with a strong team's defense, he will either be blocked or miss the ball when he breaks in, which has no effect at all. And except for Zhao Jiwei who is a good passer among these defenders, it is difficult for anyone else to feed the inside with good balls. Guo Ailun is not young anymore, and there is still no hope among the young guards. There is no such comprehensive and stable point guard as Liu Wei .
Since the retirement of Zhu Fangyu , the forward line has been carried by Zhou Peng. Zhou Peng was also sprayed to pieces. He is unstable on the offensive end, but he is very stable defensively and has good key abilities. There are several good young players at the third position now, Zeng Fanbo , Zhu Junlong and Zhang Zhenlin . Zhu Junlong was selected for the national team for the first time and played very well. He was very efficient on the offensive end and could seize every opportunity. He was also very good on defense. He spared no effort and flew to save the ball many times. Zhang Zhenlin currently seems to have good physical fitness, but his technique is too rough and his defensive problems are huge. He still needs a lot of improvement at the national team level. As for Zeng Fanbo, he has attracted much attention, but a mule is a horse. We will only find out after returning to China.
Except for Zhou Qi, Hu Jinqiu and Wang Zhelin, the other insiders are too far behind. None of them can qualify for the national team, and there are no outstanding potential stars among the young players. Zhou Qi is indeed too important on both offense and defense now. He is the absolute core. Whether he plays or not, there are two completely different teams. Wang Zhelin's defense is too poor, but his offense is still good. It can be seen that he has put in a lot of effort in free throws recently.
Regarding coaches, Yunus , Guo Shiqiang , Deng Huade, Yannakis, Gong Luming, Li Nan , Du Feng, which one has not been scolded? The head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team is a hot potato. No matter whether he is good or bad, he will be scolded 100% of the time. Du Feng actually has a certain ability, but the swearing is inappropriate, and he uses a lot of swear words. If there is a coaching change, there is really no suitable candidate. Guo Shiqiang has a dark history in the national team, Li Chunjiang has not played in the national team, and there is really no suitable candidate for the rest. In fact, I think Deng Huade is very suitable for the current men's basketball team. Many people say that he has nothing but motivation. In the 2010 World Championships, Deng Huade led the team and played very well. The men's basketball team defended very well during Deng Huade's period, and the entire team was united and the atmosphere was very good. He was strict. Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng , Wang Zhizhi , Liu Wei, Sun Yue and other veterans are convinced by him. He still has two skills.
If the Chinese men’s basketball team wants to completely change, it must treat the root cause. Our youth training was so bad. Gong Luming was leading the national team to practice basic skills. What is the concept? The only one in the world of basketball.I suggest investing more in youth training, hiring a group of European coaches for long-term training, and starting with basic skills. Then CBA's current confrontation is too poor and too loose, and the refereeing problem is also huge. Confrontation should be encouraged instead of calling the ball as soon as it is encountered, so that when you go out and encounter strong confrontation, you will not feel uncomfortable. As for the national team coach, it does not necessarily have to be a local coach, capable foreign teachers are also acceptable, but the premise is that their rights cannot be restricted. Don't be eager for quick success and get rid of people if they don't work after a few games. It takes a certain amount of time for the coach to polish the team.
Do you still remember Yunus’ nine questions? Players deteriorate as soon as they return to the club, which shows that their self-discipline is not enough, and the requirements of many clubs are not strict enough, and even many mid-to-lower teams are just messing around. Many potential players have not improved, but have slowly deteriorated. This has a lot to do with the club. In short, as an old fan of Chinese basketball, I really want to see the men's basketball team progress and achieve good results, and I also look forward to the emergence of the next savior.
