On March 18, Beijing time, the 36th round of the CBA regular season continued to play, after the Jiangsu men's basketball team lost to the Shanxi men's basketball team, it was related to the ranking of the standings, jiangsu and Ningbo's win-loss relationship was dominant (1 win and 1 loss, small points were dominant), and the win-loss relationship with Fujian was lagging behind (2 losses), so Jiangsu officially locked in the 18th place.
For Li Nan's coaching, from the penultimate first of last season to the third from the bottom of the new season, Jiangsu's reconstruction plan is still a long way to go. Jiangsu new season is the only all-Chinese class team in the CBA League, Li Nan's goal is very clear, that is, to train young players as much as possible, this idea is more similar to the Bayi of that year, but what is surprising is that the team's injuries hit, Wu Guanxi, Shi Hongfei, Huang Rongqi, Cui Xiaolong have faced injury problems and need to be forced to leave the game. In terms of the remaining young players, they cannot meet the expected heavy responsibilities, and the result is that the strong teams cannot win, and the weak teams are difficult to compete and become the league's sending teams.
If it is a short-term injury, it is inevitable, but it has been such a situation for two consecutive seasons, compared with the level of Guo Shiqiang, Yang Xuezeng, zhang Degui, Li Nan needs to prove himself too much.
Many fans have the impression that Jiangsu is a very young team, which is understandable, the team has a large number of national players, and it will definitely take time to really cash in on the talent, but There are also many top salaried players in Jiangsu, Shi Hongfei and Wu Guanxi are holding D contracts, and Huang Rongqi, Xu Mengjun, Zhao Lizhou have also proved their own backcourt players in the league, plus Wu Yujia, Jiang Haoran, Zheng Qilong is not to say that Li Nan has reached the point where no one can use.
Therefore, Li Nan's coaching has won the bottom three rankings for 2 consecutive seasons, to some extent, it is necessary to change the way of thinking, focusing on selecting 3-5 young players with potential and talent, giving enough opportunities and playing time, plus the roles of Wu Guanxi, Shi Hongfei and others, as well as foreign aid, to select a part that is in line with future construction. It is completely a rise path that can be like Guangzhou and Shanxi.
Of course, this process must be a very test of the level of the head coach, as well as the attitude of daring to make trade-offs, referring to the relationship between Li Nan and Hu Xuefeng, I believe that it is unlikely to leave class for a short time, and his son is also playing in Jiangsu, but the coach is stable at the same time, if Jiangsu has long been reduced to a fish belly team, whether the fans still have the expected sense of belonging is a very controversial topic.
