For most teams, the season is long over. And that means the beginning of change and adjustment. After scoring 8 from 12 in the playoffs, the Shougang team was defeated by the Jilin team, and Yannis, the head coach who coached the Shougang team for five years, was dismissed from the class and no longer served as the head coach of the team. After the playoffs were eliminated by the defending champion Guangdong, Liu Weiwei, who had also been coaching zhejiang for five years, resigned, and he broke up with The Zhejiang team. But in fact, the dismissal of the two famous coaches is likely to be just the beginning of the CBA coach change.
According to a number of news obtained by the Beijing Youth Daily reporter, including some teams that have entered the top 8 this year, individual teams that have experienced a significant decline in performance this season, and even some teams that have achieved breakthrough results, may change in the coaching position. Among them, the results did not meet the expectations of the outside world and management, which was the main reason. But there are also coaches who leave the situation is active choice.
The team's results did not meet the season goals, or were far from the goals. There must be someone in the team who bears the main responsibility. The head coach is undoubtedly the first responsible person. In this regard, whether it is the NBA, or the CBA, this is true. Yannis is the most typical example. Shougang's lineup this season has allowed their season goal to reach the semifinals or even strive for better results, but the cruel fact that they stopped in the first round of the playoffs, as well as the choice of line-up and game strategy, made It inevitable that Yannis would not be able to continue in the Shougang team's coaching position. Yannis's dismissal did not come as a surprise.
In contrast, Liu Weiwei's resignation at the post-match press conference came suddenly, even to the surprise of the team management. In the five years that Liu Weiwei coached the Zhejiang team, the team has completed a huge transformation. Defender Wu Qian has grown into one of the league's top players. Wang Yibo, Liu Zeyi and others have gradually emerged in the alliance and occupied a place. The Zhejiang team has advanced from the midstream level of the regular season to the top four, and the Zhejiang team has entered the ranks of the league's strong teams. However, the fact that Zhejiang has not been able to go further in the playoffs in the past two years, and the unfavorable choice of foreign aid this season, has made them still fail to break through the window paper of the playoffs. And this became the last straw that crushed the camel. Liu Weiwei believes that coaching in Zhejiang has reached a bottleneck period, as well as physical, family and other reasons, prompting him to make a resignation request more than once this season.
The resignation of Yannis and Liu Weiwei only opened the prelude to the change of CBA coaches this summer. In the next month, there may be news of the change of managers of several other teams. There must be some coaches who have left the coaching position, which surprises the outside world. This could involve the playoffs' top eight teams, as well as some teams in the lower and middle regular season rankings. Some people on the teams involved, including some players, have heard some news. And because some teams are likely to concentrate again in May to start preparing for the new season, the change of manager will also be reported in the last month.
After these CBA coaches leave class, they will trigger a new round of CBA coaching. Because when more coaches become the object of choice, for teams that have not been able to meet expectations or teams that need to change urgently, they are likely to join the ranks of teams that change coaches. And these coaches who have left class or are basically determined to leave, they still have a high value. For example, after a coach leaves class, the management of several teams has contacted him.
For the team, changing the coach is like changing the knife. But for coaches, it may mean "trees move to death, people move to live". In this regard, the most typical example of this season is undoubtedly Zhang Degui and Tianjin team. Zhang Degui has previously coached in many teams such as Fujian, Shanxi and Beijing Control, and has a wealth of coaching experience. This season, Zhang Degui first came to Tianjin as an assistant coach, and then after the foreign head coach Caesar left the class at the beginning of the season, he became the team's head coach. Zhang Degui established a distinct way of playing for the Tianjin team according to the characteristics of the players, and achieved great success. Tianjin has entered the playoffs again after eight years this season, becoming the league's biggest dark horse.
