After the Qingdao men's basketball team made a statement that it was good to gather and disperse, Wu Qinglong officially left class. On the surface, Wu Qinglong was not wronged by being fired. This season, the Qingdao men's basketball team only achieved the 15th place result, missing the playoffs. In the 2019-20 season, the Qingdao men's basketball team entered the playoffs as the 8th and entered the playoffs as the 6th last season. The results have fallen off a cliff, and as the head coach, Wu Qinglong has an unshirkable responsibility. But Wu Qinglong is by no means the most responsible one, and the Qingdao men's basketball team let him go, just let him be a scapegoat.
In the past two seasons, the Qingdao men's basketball team has played in the playoffs. Reaching the finals for two consecutive seasons is the first time in the history of the Qingdao men's basketball team, and the best result in the history of this team is created by Wu Qinglong. In the 2018-19 season, the Qingdao men's basketball team only achieved a record of 13 wins and 33 losses, ranking 15th in the CBA. In the 2019-20 season, Wu Qinglong coached the Qingdao men's basketball team for the first time, achieving a record of 25 wins and 21 losses, and entered the playoffs as the 8th. Last season, Wu Qinglong further improved the record of the Qingdao men's basketball team, reaching 32 wins and 22 losses, and the ranking rose to 6th.
Can improve the performance, Wu Qinglong will also cultivate talents. Before Wu Qinglong coached the Qingdao men's basketball team, Liu Chuanxing was regarded as waste wood. In the 2018-19 season, Liu Chuanxing only played 3 games and did not have a bright performance. Although in the Guangdong men's basketball youth team, Liu Chuanxing had a highlight performance and was regarded as a little Yao Ming. But in the first season of the Qingdao men's basketball team, Liu Chuanxing was ignored and was considered to be eliminated soon. It was Wu Qinglong who changed Liu Chuanxing's fate and realized the transformation of the carp jumping dragon gate.
After Wu Qinglong took charge, he reused Liu Chuanxing for the first time and gave patient guidance. Without wasting his efforts, Liu Chuanxing quickly played a famous game, averaging 7.9 points and 6.6 rebounds per game in the 2019-20 season. Against the Guangdong men's basketball team, Liu Chuanxing had 25 points and 15 rebounds, and against Zhou Qi, he had 20 points and 10 rebounds in a single game.
In the 2020-21 season, Liu Chuanxing was further promoted under the cultivation of Wu Qinglong. Playing Haddadi, Liu Chuanxing scored 20 points, 13 rebounds and 4 blocks, suppressing the former Asia's no. 1 center. Fighting the Shenzhen men's basketball team, Liu Chuanxing got 20 points and 11 rebounds. Selected as an All-Star, Liu Chuanxing also entered the national team. In the Qingdao men's basketball team, Liu Chuanxing is a qualified defensive gate and can also play an important role in the offensive end.
In terms of achievements and employment, Wu Qinglong has proved himself, and the upward momentum of the Qingdao men's basketball team is also obvious. Why did it come to an abrupt end this season? This is because the management of the Qingdao men's basketball team made a wrong decision. Before the start of the season, the Qingdao men's basketball team was unwilling to give Liu Chuanxing a satisfactory contract, and the latter chose to play in Australia. Without Liu Chuanxing, the defensive system of the Qingdao men's basketball team was shaken, and the defensive level dropped significantly. The interior attack of the Qingdao men's basketball team has also been greatly affected, and there has been a significant decline.
The management of the Qingdao men's basketball team also made a remedy, trading to the top salary Mr. Li Yuanyu. Li Yuanyu is only 2.06 meters tall, and he has a natural shortcoming in defense, which cannot play a role in Liu Chuanxing's defense, but has become a defensive black hole. Even on the offensive end, Li Yuanyu was no better than Liu Chuanxing. It can be said that Li Yuanyu replaced Liu Chuanxing, resulting in a sharp decrease in the strength of the Qingdao men's basketball team.
It is difficult for qiao women to cook without rice, and this decline in hard power of the Qingdao men's basketball team is also something that Wu Qinglong cannot make up for through coaching. Today, Wu Qinglong is behind the management's carelessness, but it cannot solve the real problem. For the Qingdao men's basketball team, it is necessary to find a way to make Liu Chuanxing return. Otherwise, the new coach will not be able to get the team back on track.
