If fans and the media comment on the level of Gong Xiaobin's CBA player period, presumably the controversy will not be too big, the probability is the thumb of the top croak "like", Shandong fans also have to come to a one-button three-in-a-row!
Gong Xiaobin, known as the "Runaway King" in the CBA jianghu, was praised by Shandong fans as the "Banner of Shandong Men's Basketball Team", and is a typical representative of the 96 golden generation of the Chinese men's basketball team, and has won the best technical award and MVP of the CBA League. Its basketball skills, abilities and influence are recognized.
In 2003, Gong retired from the army and directly served as the head coach of the Shandong men's basketball team, during which he briefly left class and returned to the Shandong men's basketball team after coaching for two or three seasons in the Qingdao men's basketball team, leaving before the start of the 2021-22 season. Counting up, Gong Xiaobin has also had 14 years of coaching experience in the Shandong men's basketball team, but few people have evaluated the style and level of Gong's coaching.
First, the hot temper does not hide its coaching philosophy of "position"
Gong was known for his clear-headedness and technical excellence when he was a player, and after coaching, he brought his understanding of basketball to the tactical board. He is a coach who pays more attention to the style of play of position warfare, and the tactical requirements for 0 degree angle, 45 degree angle and 90 degree angle are relatively high. For these three angles, Gong Xiaobin requires players to have the ability to enter the basket, and has unreservedly passed on his experience in the players' affairs to the players, cultivating a group of players such as Ding Yanyuhang, Sui Ran, Li Jingyu, and Tao Hanlin, and basically clarifying the position warfare idea of "position first, impacting the basket, and squeezing the body". It is a basketball style of play based on physical confrontation.
Second, the teaching achievements objectively reflect their coaching level
Some fans have made a table of the achievements of the Shandong men's basketball team over the years, and here we directly quote it. In the 14 seasons of coaching the Shandong men's basketball team, the team's best result was the runner-up in the 2012-13 season, and also finished third in the 2007-08 season, and reached the top four twice in the 2017-18 and 2020-21 seasons.
It should be said that in recent seasons, the Shandong men's basketball team has been the playoff team of the league under the leadership of Gong Xiaobin.
With a 14-season report card, this result averages around eighth, which is basically the threshold level of the CBA League's traditional playoffs! Considering that the player system of Shandong men's basketball club and the overall investment in reinforcements are not large, such a result is actually good. Therefore, it can be called a CBA coach!
Third, Lu Ming and Xu Changsuo, who were in the benchmarking palace, could still see his advantages
Gong Luming is now the head coach of the Shandong men's basketball team. The Chinese men's basketball coach had almost no CBA coaching experience before, but in terms of leading the national team, whether it was the Chinese men's basketball team or the Chinese women's basketball team, Gong Coach had handed over a commendable record. Gong Luming's coaching style is "three from one big", which belongs to a very traditional basketball concept. In terms of professional basketball, Gong Luming spent most of his time coaching in the NBA's Anhui Wenyi team.
Xu Changsuo was a teammate of Gong Xiaobin's players, and served as the coach of the Shandong men's basketball youth team for a long time after retiring. Before the start of the season, there was little coaching experience for the CBA first team.
In this way, the lack of a common platform experience between Gong Xiaobin and Gong Xu is not easy to compare. At present, Shandong's record in 2021 this season is 8 wins and 8 losses, ranking 11th.
