The Shanxi men's basketball team, the Jilin men's basketball team and the Beijing men's basketball team are all above the Tianjin men's basketball team, but the latter has completed three consecutive wins. After the continuous upset, the record of the Tianjin men's basketball team came to 9 wins and 15 losses, entering the ranks of playoff contenders. In the past 7 seasons, the Tianjin men's basketball team has missed the playoffs, and its record is often in the CBA, becoming a well-known fish belly. Now the Tianjin men's basketball team has shown a rare recovery momentum, and Zhang Degui, a well-known frustrated coach in the CBA, is also expected to complete the turnaround this season.
Zhang Degui's coaching career began very early, and he became an assistant coach in the Chinese women's basketball team in 2000. But compared to the beautiful player career, Zhang Degui's coaching career is too bleak. As a player, Zhang Degui was a well-known sharpshooter who played at a high level in the league. He also entered the national team, and Zhang Degui helped the Chinese men's basketball team win the 1990 Asian Games championship. But in the coaching position, Zhang Degui's main identity is assistant coach, even if he is the head coach, his identity is also firefighting.
Zhang Degui once assisted the Foreign Coach McCarthy in the Fujian men's basketball team, and after the latter was dismissed due to poor performance, Zhang Degui became the head coach of fire fighting. He also assisted head coach Ding Wei in the North Control men's basketball team, and Zhang Degui also served as an interim manager after that. But Zhang Degui has never been able to stay in the head coaching position for long, but has become an assistant coach again. Before the start of the season, Zhang Degui's initial identity in the Tianjin men's basketball team was also an assistant coach, assisting The Yang coach Caesar. After Caesar was dismissed due to poor performance, Zhang Degui once again became the firefighting manager.
Born in 1957, Zhang Degui is 65 years old this year and is an old coach. But Zhang Degui has almost no results, and can only hover between assistant coaches and fire managers, unable to get real recognition. And coaches such as Yang Xuezeng, Li Chunjiang, who are far younger than him, have already held the championship and become famous, and the younger generation such as Du Feng Liu Weiwei has also made good achievements, and Zhang Degui is particularly frustrated.
At the beginning of the Tianjin men's basketball team as a firefighting coach, Zhang Degui was not optimistic, and would overdo it as before and leave class at the end of the season. What is unexpected is that Zhang Degui has an eye-catching performance. Although there is no former coach Caesar's fame, Zhang Degui has trained the Tianjin men's basketball team well. In particular, after the foreign aid Rochester and Burton joined, a powerful fighting force broke out under Zhang Degui.
With the offensive strength point, Zhang Degui also did a good job in the use of Zhang Zhaoxu. Although Zhang Zhaoxu's statistics are average, he has reached +17 in 3 consecutive games with plus-minus, which acts well as an offensive gate. Around the strong points of attack and defense, Zhang Degui has also created a system suitable for the Tianjin men's basketball team, which is also the key to the Beijing men's basketball team and other teams.
Coaching has achieved results, and Zhang Degui has also received a lot of recognition. If he can lead the Tianjin men's basketball team into the playoffs this season, Zhang Degui will not only be able to sit firmly in the position of coach, but also win the reputation of a famous coach. After all, the Tianjin men's basketball team was too weak in the past, and it is also a good achievement to bring it into the playoffs.
