On April 4, Beijing time, the CBA playoffs continued, Beijing Shougang lost to Jilin 75-80, the total score was 0-2 eliminated by the opponent, and after 5 years, it once again missed the top 8. It is worth mentioning that 5 years ago, Beijing Shougang team was due to the failure to reach the top 8, resulting in a wave of major changes from management to coaching staff to players, so this time, Beijing Shougang team will once again tear down and rebuild?
Five years ago, in the 2016-17 season, Beijing Shougang lost to Sichuan 113-114 in the last round of regular season, and ultimately missed the quarterfinals. As a result, in the offseason, Beijing Shougang carried out a major change of blood, Qin Xiaowen entered the management, Yannis replaced Min Lulei, and Marbury left the team, and former heroes such as Morris and Sun Yue were gradually marginalized and left one after another.
It has to be said that at that time, the reconstruction speed of beijing Shougang team was very fast, and in the case that Marbury's departure was not optimistic, they returned to the playoffs the following year. After that, it was introduced year by year to introduce strong internal and foreign aid, the paper lineup became stronger and stronger, and several playoffs with the league overlord Guangdong team in the playoffs were also defeated, and Du Feng was shocked into a cold sweat.
This season, although the Beijing Shougang team only ranked 7th in the regular season, there were actually many people who were optimistic about them before the playoffs began. For example, Marbury once predicted on social media that this season's finals will be Liaoning to play Beijing, but what people did not expect was that in the first round of the playoffs, they were swept out by Jilin team.
Such a bad result has disappointed the fans of Beijing Shougang. In the offseason, even if the Beijing Shougang team does not carry out a major blood change, it must be adjusted at least in 2 key positions.
One is the head coach position. Yannis did play a role after the last shougang change and created the top defensive system in the league for the team. However, his coaching in attack is too bad, and the superstitious twin towers are contrary to the development trend of modern basketball, which is also an important reason why the Beijing Shougang team has obvious advantages in the lineup, but it is swept by the Jilin team.
In the offseason, Beijing Shougang should be looking for a more creative head coach on the offensive end to replace Yannis. Of course, considering their failed experience in hiring European coach Payagani last season, whether the new coach of Beijing Shougang is going to choose a local coach or a foreign coach, it must choose a head coach who knows enough about the CBA league.
The second is the foreign aid position, there is no need to force 4 foreign aid, but it is necessary to find a player with strong ability. Whether it is Jeremy Lin, Gibson, Brown or Hamilton, their professional attitude is very good, and they are willing to play team basketball, but there is a gap between their ability and the top foreign players in the CBA, and even the top local players such as Guo Allen.
The most important reason why Beijing Shougang team has been able to win 3 championships in 4 years in the past is that the MaMo combination was invincible in the league at that time, and finding a top foreign aid is also the easiest way to solve the problem. Beijing Shougang's financial strength is the top of the CBA, and in recent years, the work has been very good in terms of internal invocation, but in terms of external invocation, they must be improved. Otherwise, the regular season problem may not be obvious, but in the playoffs, this can become a fatal injury to the team.
