Although at the press conference after the just-concluded World Cup preliminaries against Australia, Du Feng criticized Guo Ailun, saying that he did not share the ball with his teammates, saying that his 3-for-16 efficiency was terrible..., but I bet that in the upcoming Asian Cup group stage match, Du Feng dare not not use Guo Ailun. Not only will he use it, but he will also be one of the starting lineup.
Du Feng's public blaming of players is very rare in the history of world basketball. At best, the teacher criticizing the students is for your better progress, which shows that Du Feng pays more attention to Guo Ailun and his role in the team; often At worst, it means shirking responsibility, failing to coach well, and letting the team members take the blame. A smart coach pays equal attention to kindness and power, and encouragement and criticism must be appropriate, otherwise it will be counterproductive. Guo Ailun has a simple mind and doesn't have any bad intentions, but Du Feng should put himself in his shoes and think about how he treated Guo Shiqiang back then. Don't you have a clue?
The first stage of the World Cup preliminaries is over. The Chinese men's basketball team 6 advanced to the second stage with 4 wins and 2 losses. Throughout the 6 games in the first stage, three players from the Chinese team averaged double figures per game, namely: center Zhou Qi 16.4 points and 11 rebounds, guard Guo Ailun 14.2 points, 4.2 rebounds and 2 assists, and forward Hu Jinqiu21 13.5 Points, 6 rebounds and 2.5 assists. Zhou Qi and Guo Ailun both played 5 games, while Hu Jinqiu only participated in 2 games due to injuries. The data speaks for itself. In today's Chinese men's basketball team, Guo Ailun is still the big player. No matter how you criticize him, you have to use him.
The first opponent in the Asian Cup group stage is the South Korean team. Guo Ailun once led the Chinese men's basketball team in the Asian Championships and World Cup, defeating South Korea twice. Guo Ailun used his personal ability to turn the tide at the last moment, which was thrilling.
Facing South Korea again, does Du Feng dare not to use Guo Ailun?
