Recently, the results of a men's basketball Asian Cup qualifier shocked the domestic basketball world - the Chinese men's basketball team lost to the Japanese men's basketball team 73-76 away. This defeat was like a hammer that smashed into the hearts of countless fans. You must know that in the past 88 years, the Chinese men's basketball team has never lost to the Japanese men's basketball team in an official game.
This defeat is not only a blow to the players and coaching team, but also a severe test of the overall strength of Chinese basketball.
After the game, the loss of this game attracted widespread attention and heated discussions from all walks of life. Among them, the well-known reporter [Director Where I Lie] even posted an article directly on social ** to bombard Yao Ming, chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, with sharp words and pointed to the point.
The reporter said that Yao Ming's achievements in the past few years at the helm of Chinese basketball are destined to be engraved on the pillar of shame in the history of Chinese basketball, the league is a mess, the national team's results have plummeted, and there are obvious black whistles and match-fixing.
Such criticism, while sharp, is not unfounded. Looking back on the development of Chinese basketball since Yao Ming took office, there are indeed many problems and challenges. As the president of the Basketball Association, Yao Ming shoulders the heavy responsibility of leading Chinese basketball to glory, but the reality is far from it.
First, the management and operation of the league has always been a stubborn problem that has plagued Chinese basketball. Referees' decisions are controversial, and there are significant differences between the enforcement standards and those of FIBA. This not only affects the fairness and enjoyment of the game, but also damages the brand image and credibility of the league. The fact that the players and coaching staff are fighting the pitch and are often hit by unfair penalties is undoubtedly a great disrespect for their hard work and dedication.
Second, the instability of the national team's performance is also a concern. From the World Cup to the Asian Games, the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team has failed to meet the expected goals. As a team that represents the honor of the country, every time they go out, they touch the hearts of hundreds of millions of fans. However, in recent years, the performance of the national team in the international arena has suffered repeated setbacks, which is undoubtedly a serious blow to the overall strength of Chinese basketball.
Third, let's go back to the game we lost to the Japanese men's basketball team. The problem of "only self-aggrandizement" mentioned by well-known journalists was also exposed in this game. Before the game, many ** and fans had high hopes for the Chinese men's basketball team, believing that they had the ability to defeat their opponents. However, the result of the match was a big surprise. This begs the question: are we overestimating ourselves, or are our opponents really above us?
In fact, the Chinese men's basketball team is not without opportunities in this game. But mistakes and lack of execution at key moments made them miss a good chance to win. Of course, there is the problem of individual ability of the players, but it is more about the lack of teamwork and tactical execution. The existence of these problems is inextricably related to the head coach's arrangement and tactical arrangement.
Djordjevic has been controversial as a head coach and his knowledge of the players. In this game, his line-up and tactical arrangement once again became the focus of doubt. The improper use of core players such as Hu Jinqiu and Wang Zhelin, as well as the abandonment of young players such as Yu Jiahao, have raised serious doubts about his coaching skills.
As a national team coach, they should better understand the characteristics and strengths of the players and develop more reasonable and effective tactical plans. However, judging by this game, it is clear that they did not make it.
Of course, it's also unfair to put all the blame on the manager and the players. As the chairman of the Basketball Association, Yao Ming also needs to bear certain responsibilities. He should be more prudent and sensible in the selection of coaches and the management of the team. Coaches and players who are not suitable should be adjusted and replaced in time to ensure the stability and development of the team. However, in reality, it is clear that his performance in this regard is not satisfactory.
To sum up, the Chinese men's basketball team has exposed many problems after losing to the Japanese men's basketball team.
The chaos in the league, the decline in the performance of the national team, the questionable coaching ability of the coaching team, and the lack of responsibility of the president of the basketball association are all aspects that require us to deeply reflect and improve. In this defeat, we should learn from the lessons, sum up the experience, and strive to improve our strength and level. Only in this way can we regain our glory and dignity in the international arena!
