The Veteran CBA's Beijing Shougang Team briefly ushered in a dynastic era between 2011 and 2015. At its peak, the Shougang team won 3 CBA championships in this short period of 4 years.
However, with the departure of a number of meritorious players such as Marbury, Morris, Li Gen, Sun Yue, and the retreat of coach Min Lulei to the second line, the Shougang team began to gradually go downhill.
Although after Qin Xiaowen became the new general manager of Shougang, he had ambitiously announced that he would lead the team to regain the CBA championship within 3 years, and the club's investment in the team in recent years has been among the best in the CBA league, but the Shougang team has always returned to the glory of the past 4 years and 3 crowns.
Therefore, many Beijing fans are quite critical of Qin Xiaowen's club management method, and even some Beijing fans have begun to pay attention to the Beijing Beikong team, the little brother of the Shougang team, because the Beijing control team has too many elements of the past Shougang when it won the championship - Marbury, Sun Yue, and Li Gen were once heroes in their hearts.
Now, it has been a full 5 years since Qin Xiaowen shouted the slogan of leading Shougang to regain the CBA championship in 2017. But in past few seasons, Shougang hasn't even made it to the semifinals of the playoffs.
Obviously, as a former basketball agent, Qin Xiaowen has really performed well in terms of the club's player operations, and has dug up many powerful players for the Shougang team in recent seasons. But her ability in club management and team building is still lacking. The slogans were loud, but the team's league results never went up.
Therefore, Shougang Club has also recently made a decision to adjust its management. Next, Zhang Yunsong, Shougang's former meritorious player, will replace Qin Xiaowen to take charge of the management of the club.
At the same time, the coaching staff of the women's basketball team will also be adjusted, and the former coach of the national women's basketball team, Xu Limin, has returned to Shougang, and he will re-take charge of the marshal whip of the Shougang women's basketball team.
In fact, Shougang Club was ready to adjust its leadership team at the beginning of the season. At the end of last year, Zhang Yunsong had already left the women's basketball first team and entered the management of the club to take up important positions.
Today, Zhang Yunsong has been officially corrected by Shougang Club and succeeded Qin Xiaowen to take charge of the coaching and player management of Shougang Team. Qin Xiaowen was promoted and demoted by the club, and on the surface she became the overall head of the club, but in fact she did not have much real power in the club.
After Zhang Yunsong took office, he also immediately made no small adjustment to the shougang men's and women's basketball first team. In addition to Xu Limin's return to the team as the head coach of the Shougang women's basketball team, the assistant coach of the Shougang men's team, Jolio, will be mainly responsible for the club's youth training.
In addition, Zhang Yunsong is also ready to hire a new foreign coach for Shougang to serve as the head coach of the team's echelon. The head coach of the Shougang men's team will continue to have Yannis to hold, and Yuan Chao and He Libin will continue to assist the Greek coach in the coaching staff.
On the player side, veterans like Zhou Yixiang and Chang Lin will also leave the first team in the third stage of the league. Their position is likely to be replaced by a group of young players such as Fan Yiming and Luan Licheng.
It can be said that the recent adjustment of Shougang Club is quite large, which also shows that the management hopes to help the club and team out of the trough through this series of adjustments. After Zhang Yunsong officially became the new head of the club, whether the Shougang men's and women's team can quickly get back on track, let's wait and see...
