The journey of the Chinese men's basketball team has been full of twists and turns, and the team's performance has been unsatisfactory since European coach Djordjevic took the helm. The 2023 World Cup and the Hangzhou Asian Games have become painful moments for the Chinese men's basketball team, losing all three games, failing to qualify for the Paris Olympics, and suffering a painful reversal in the semifinals of the Asian Games, missing the gold medal.
All kinds of failures can't help but make people suspicious of Qiao Shuai, he doesn't seem to know the Chinese players, improper use, poor tactics, full of defensive holes, weak offense, and has lost the characteristics of the Chinese team in the past. Fans and ** unanimously called for Qiao Shuai to be removed from class, but under the pressure of **, two heavyweights stood up to support Djordjevic - Yao Ming, chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, and Zhao Jiwei, captain of the Chinese men's basketball team.
Yao Ming said that Qiao Shuai has been recognized by the core players of the national team and has become a bridge between the Chinese team and international basketball, and advocates that he continue to coach; And Zhao Jiwei even publicly said that if Djordjevic had been in charge of the Chinese men's basketball team two years ago, he firmly believed that the Chinese team had already entered the Olympic Games. However, is such support tenable?
In fact, both Yao Ming and Zhao Jiwei are misappraising Qiao Shuai, especially after two major losses, they still blindly support the game, is this blind confidence, or other reasons? This kind of remarks is not only irresponsible, but also irresponsible for the cause of Chinese basketball. Fans were outraged and demanded that Yao Ming and Zhao Jiwei be removed from their positions and kept away from the basketball stage.
The future of Chinese basketball is full of thorns, and what is needed is not only the tactics of a coach, but also the sobriety and responsibility of the entire management. Perhaps, only by abandoning personal selfishness can we find a real way out for the Chinese men's basketball team.
