On April 4, Beijing time, the first round of the CBA playoffs, Beijing Shougang once again lost to Jilin, thus being eliminated with a large score of 0-2, missing the playoffs of the quarter-finals. After the game, Beijing Shougang wrote three words on social media: "I'm sorry. And these 3 words also make the national football team lie gun. Fans ridiculed that this was the same as the apology of the national football team that year. In the evening, Beijing Shougang had heavy news, and coach Yannis resigned.
With three foreign aides, Beijing Shougang was unexpectedly knocked on by Jilin and lost the series by a score of 0-2, which surprised many fans. Especially in the second game, Beijing Shougang's offensive efficiency was very low, and in the end, it only scored 75 points in the whole game. Coupled with the final killing of the first game, Beijing Shougang also broke a round of travel.
After the match, Beijing Shougang Club wrote down the three words "I'm sorry". This also triggered a heated discussion among fans, and soon some fans compared the "sorry" sentence when the Chinese men's football team lost, and the three Chinese characters were exactly the same, which was ironic.
After being eliminated, fans also foresaw that Beijing Shougang would usher in great changes. But not expecting the change to come so quickly, coach Yannis left a farewell letter after the game, making it clear that the result hurt the city of Beijing and that he would take responsibility and choose to resign. In fact, Yannis's employment in the playoffs has also been questioned a lot, and now that he has left the team, it is also an account.
Of course, Beijing Shougang will usher in great changes in the future. Jeremy Lin's departure is almost a foregone conclusion, and his current state decline is too severe and does not seem to be adapting to the rhythm of the CBA. In addition, in the cultivation of young players, Beijing needs to spend a lot of effort. The other 3 foreign aides are probably very likely to leave the team. This group of veterans does seem to have some lack of backwardness on the field, and Beijing needs to replenish young blood. Hopefully, new coaches in the future can boldly enable new people. In today's environment, it is also a good time to prepare for the future.
