104-113, the Zhejiang men's basketball team was upset by the Guangzhou men's basketball team and suffered an unexpected defeat. The strength of the Zhejiang men's basketball team is far above the Guangzhou men's basketball team, most of the time it is pressing the opponent to play, the last half of the quarter, the lead is still more than ten points. However, the Zhejiang men's basketball team still lost, and was completed by the Guangzhou men's basketball team. The Zhejiang men's basketball team suffered a humiliating defeat, and head coach Liu Weiwei was responsible.
In the case of falling behind in the big score, the Guangzhou men's basketball team could not see the hope of winning, and everyone's head coach Guo Shiqiang decided to break the boat and sacrifice the death of the five small lineups in the middle of the last quarter. Without the big man, the Guangzhou men's basketball team gave up the protection of the penalty area and rebounds, and attacked with all its might. There are losses and gains, the guangzhou men's basketball team's attack is completely open, continuous hits of three-pointers, and attacking the basket has also been effective. When the Guangzhou men's basketball team was in a good offensive situation, the Zhejiang men's basketball team fell into a scoring drought, and no one scored for a long time. The players of the Zhejiang men's basketball team panicked, could not find a way to deal with it, and could only be slaughtered. As a head coach, Liu Weiwei should have found a way to deal with it. But Liu Weiwei himself was blindfolded, helpless, just blindly scolding the players.
The players performed badly, and on the surface, Liu Weiwei was no problem scolding people. It's just that the timing of scolding is not right. Players are behind and beaten, morale is already low, and invective only further discourages their confidence. Even Du Feng, who is known for his strictness, often encourages the team when it is passive. What's more, what the Zhejiang men's basketball players needed at that time was that the head coach pointed out a way to deal with the Guangzhou men's basketball team. Liu Weiwei used criticism to cover up the dilemma of no solution, but it would reduce the prestige in the minds of the players.
Exposing the lack of coaching ability at key moments, Liu Weiwei entered a bottleneck period, but this is not all bad for him, because the previous road has been too smooth. During the player period, Liu Weiwei was only a mediocre role player with few bright performances. But after retiring and transforming into a coach, Liu Weiwei embarked on the road to shine.
In 2010, in the Zhejiang men's basketball youth team, Liu Weiwei began the road of coaching. Liu Weiwei did a great job, leading the team to win the 2015 and 2016 National Youth League championships. Liu Weiwei has also cultivated a group of young talents such as Wu Qiancheng Shuai Peng, who are now the core players of the Zhejiang men's basketball team.
With achievements and the ability to cultivate talents, Liu Weiwei's entry into the CBA to coach has become a matter of course. In 2017, Liu Weiwei became the head coach of the Zhejiang men's basketball team, and in just 3 seasons, he brought the team into the playoffs. In the 2010-21 season, Liu Weiwei brought the Zhejiang men's basketball team to the 3rd place. In the playoffs, the Zhejiang men's basketball team reached the semifinals and once fought with the Liaoning men's basketball team. Liu Weiwei created the best record in the history of the Zhejiang men's basketball team, and also put the team in the ranks of the top strong teams and made a name for itself.
This season, the Zhejiang men's basketball team continued the strength of last season and is considered a favorite team to compete for the championship. Liu Weiwei's reputation has also gone all the way up, and he is regarded as a high-quality representative of the local young marshal. The praise is what Liu Weiwei deserves, but I am afraid it will also make him flutter. For example, in this game against the Zhejiang men's basketball team, Liu Weiwei obviously had no difficulty in making sufficient preparations, and only when Guo Shiqiang made a move, there was nothing he could do. Instead, he took the players to throw the pot, and the scene began to be angry.
For Liu Weiwei, there is nothing wrong with establishing authority through strictness, but what he should do more is to improve the level of coaching. Sinking down and filling in the deficiencies is what Liu Weiwei needs to do most. If Liu Weiwei cannot break through the bottleneck, it will be difficult to lead the Zhejiang men's basketball team to become a real championship contender, and can only be a strong team in the regular season.
