3 consecutive defeats! Who would have thought that the Liaoning men's basketball team, which sits on home advantage, would achieve such a bad result after the start of the third stage of the CBA League. Losing to Qingdao, losing to Shanghai and then losing to Zhejiang Guangsha, the Liaoning team that returned to Shenyang seems to have forgotten how to win.
The team's current difficulties everyone knows, Guo Allen can not play because of injury, Han Dejun has just returned from injury and has not been able to adjust to the best, 2 foreign assistants Morland and Fergus are embarrassed.
But are these the real reasons why Liaoning suffered consecutive defeats? I'm afraid it's not that simple! Although the current lineup of players in Liaoning Basketball is not neat, from the overall strength of the team, they are still the top strong teams in the CBA league.
There are two main reasons for the team's recent poor performance:
First, as the regular season draws to a close, teams are scrambling for playoff spots or a good playoff qualifying. Compared to the first and second stages of the league, the teams attach a lot more importance to the game.
Second, the team manager is too young and lacks sufficient experience in major competition conducting. In the last 2 rounds of the league, Liaoning basketball coach Yang Ming has made substitution mistakes in the final stage of the game, and the team's defense and attack have caused no small problems.
However, if the responsibility for Liao's consecutive defeats is all on Yang Ming, it is indeed unfair to him. Because Yang Ming is only the person who stands at the front desk of the arena and is responsible for the command, the Liaoning basketball coaching team behind him really needs to take full responsibility for the team.
Speaking of the Liaoning basketball coaching staff, we have to talk about the team leader Jiang Xingquan. As the Taishan Beidou of Liaoning basketball, Jiang Xingquan's fame and contribution to Liaoning and even Chinese basketball are difficult for anyone to reach.
However, Mr. Jiang, who is now 82 years old, seems to have been unable to keep up with the pace of modern basketball development. Since the official return to Liaoning Basketball in 2020, the Liaoning Basketball coaching team led by Jiang Xingquan has not handed over a satisfactory report card to the fans.
At the beginning of the 2020-21 season, in addition to Jiang Xingquan, there were three assistant coaches in the coaching team of Liaoning Basketball, Lu Wei, Wu Naiqun and Martinez to assist Yang Ming. Today, Lu Wei and Martinez have left the team, which has brought a lot of impact on the team's training and the tactical arrangement of the game and the use of personnel.
Yang Ming, who is only 36 years old, is still very young, and has just retired from retirement and became the head coach of a top CBA team, and it is obvious that he cannot take on the full responsibility of the team manager now. In the absence of 2 good helpers, the problem of Yang Ming's lack of coaching experience has become more and more obvious.
In fact, after losing to Guangdong in the finals last season, Yang Ming had already proposed his resignation, but the leadership team of the Liaoning Basketball Club did not take this opportunity to invite a talented and experienced manager for the team, but chose to continue to cultivate Yang Ming.
After Martinez left the team, The Liaoning Basketball Club did not invite an experienced assistant coach to make up for the shortcomings of Yang Ming's lack of on-the-spot command ability, which also laid the groundwork for the team's recent consecutive defeats.
In addition, the problem of foreign aid in Liaoning Basketball has also been very obvious in the past 2 seasons. Simmons and Taylor, who were introduced last season, are not suitable for the tactical system of Liaoning Basketball.
The club's general manager Li Hongqing did not accept the lessons of last season, and the big foreign aid Molander introduced this season was also a failure. At the same time, abandoning the renewal of Mayo and keeping Fergus has now proved to be a failure.
Although the 2 foreign aides are very weak, the strength of the local players in Liaoning Basketball is still very strong. Zhao Jiwei, Guo Allen, Han Dejun and Zhang Zhenlin are all active national players, and Li Xiaoxu, Fu Hao and Yu Zechen on the outside are also quite outstanding.
However, the lack of a good coaching team, but so that the luxurious lineup of Liaoning Basket can not play a real strength, coupled with the lack of foreign aid ability, Liaoning Basket consecutive losses are inevitable.
Therefore, if Liaoning wants to compete for the CBA championship this season, it must make changes in time. The club's top management, led by Jiang Xingquan and Li Hongqing, needs to adjust their team management concepts. If you still stick to the rules and use old ideas to manage this team, then Liaoning Basketball's dream of competing for the CBA championship this season may eventually be a void...
