The CBA 21-22 season is nearly over, the end of the season, and it is the peak period for the manager to leave the class, Zhejiang coach Liu Weiwei, Beijing coach Yannis, Shenzhen coach Qiu Biao, Qingdao coach Wu Qinglong have been dismissed one after another.
Liu Weiwei coached Zhejiang from 2017, but this season due to Zhejiang's poor playoff results again, he resigned, ending a 5-year coaching. Since then, Guangdong coach Du Feng, Jilin coach Wang Han and Xinjiang coach Adi Jiang, three coaches who have taken over the team since 2018, have become the longest consecutive head coaches in the league.
4 years, which is the longest time the CBA has been coaching a team ongoing.
This is really surprising, the CBA has changed coaches very frequently in the past few years. At the end of the 19-20 season, Guo Shiqiang, who had been in charge of Liaoning for 6 years, left Liaoning after nearly 30 years, and in the 20-21 season, Li Chunjiang and Guangsha broke up in the middle of the season after more than 7 years of cooperation.
Before the start of the season, Shanxi replaced the new coach Yang Xuezeng, Tianjin replaced the foreign coach Alexander Caesar, and after a few games of coaching, Zhang Degui took over. Cui Wanjun took over the Fujian Shuaiyin, but before the end of the season, Zhu Shilong regained control of the team, tongxi was originally coached by Besilovic, and at the end of the season, he was replaced by Liu Tie.
Shanghai introduced Li Chunjiang's guidance in the off-season, and Guangsha also officially entered Wang Bo's guidance time. Li And Guangsha, who peacefully broke up, finally met in the CBA playoff semifinals, and the 3 games between Shanghai and Guangsha were played with bayonets, frequent injuries, and constant court conflicts, which was simply a fight under reasonable rules.
The league also added two new coaches who challenged coaching this season, one is Shandong youth coach Xu Changsuo (who coached Shanxi 11 games in 2006), who was appointed to take over the guidance of Gong Xiaobin in danger, and finally stumbled into the playoffs with Shandong. Ningbo Fubon is a new army, led by the top eighty-one Li Ke, who won 3 wins and 35 losses in the first season, throwing off the fate of the bottom.
CBA coach can be regarded as a high-risk industry, the longest 4 years of continuous coaching is Du Feng, Adi Jiang, Wang Han guidance, followed by 3 years, with The guidance of North Control coach Ma Buri and Sichuan Zhou Jinli; further down is 2 years, Liaoning Yang Ming guidance, Jiangsu Li Nan guidance, Guangzhou Guo Shiqiang guidance; in addition, Guangsha Wang Bo 1 and a half years.
In short, there are only 9 teams in the league that have coached their own team for more than 1 season, and 11 teams have just changed managers this season, or have changed managers in the middle of the season, or the current head coach has resigned. At the head coach level, the CBA can be regarded as catching up with the NBA, updating the speed of the bar.
Why has the CBA changed coaches so frequently in the past two years?
There are many reasons, and each team is different in terms of specifics, but the change of coach does have a big background. At the beginning of the 19-20 season, the CBA reform version 2.0 accelerated, when it was decided that the foreign aid policy would be changed to 4 sessions and 4 person-times from the 20-21 season, and the salary cap system would be implemented at the same time.
Before the storm of reform, the epidemic cut off the 19-20 season, and since then, the CBA's profit trend has been interrupted, and teams have often faced multiple pressures such as reinforcements, salaries, and records in the following years. The vacillating season has become a major trend in the league, due to the use of foreign aid, the uncertain signing and joining time, coupled with the isolation and other situations, which directly led to the uncontrolled record.
The CBA's head coach's voice is actually weaker than that of the NBA, in the team management, the manager has a team leader, general manager, boss, etc., and even many teams have a close relationship with the local sports bureau, which has a lot of leaders. In the past, Wang Xingjiang, the "Chinese Kuban" in Shanxi, was a typical fanatical basketball enthusiast, but because he knew basketball himself and often pointed out the work of the head coach, he later had the nickname of "coach killer".
Shanxi in the north and Fujian in the south, these are the two teams with the most frequent head coach changes in the history of the CBA, which can really be described: Wolong Phoenix, Yu Liang. Both teams have been in the CBA for less than 20 years, and the head coaches replaced have exceeded 20, Yang Xuezeng, who led the team to the playoffs this year, has coached Shanxi for the third time, and Zhu Shilong of Fujian has coached almost seven in and seven out of the head coach.
It is common for the NBA to change coaches in this business alliance, but the CBA actually has a different infrastructure.
The NBA is essentially a large board game, not a year, swing and trade, in general, the gameplay is also a quick form, although it is difficult to win the championship, but it is also normal to produce results within three or five years. But the CBA is completely different, based on the club's youth training and foreign aid choices, to achieve stable results must pay years of accumulation, otherwise it will be a flash in the pan.
For example, this season's Zhejiang, from the 19-20 season rematch stage began to play famous, two consecutive years to reach the final four, setting a record in team history, but the playoffs lost to Liaoyue, the team temporarily hit the ceiling. Qingdao under the guidance of Wu Qinglong, the first two consecutive years into the playoffs, the team has also worked hard to develop youth training in recent years, but the final record this season is not ideal.
Obviously, the defeat of these two teams cannot be directly attributed to the head coach, but The guidance of Liu Weiwei and Wu Qinglong, one said that he wanted to go out to study and improve, and the other said that the unit work transfer, after all, left. For Zhejiang and Qingdao, next season is very critical, Zhejiang to break the ceiling needs courage, but boldness can not only be reflected in the change of coach, reinforcement investment to keep up with the rhythm of the top four teams.
The Qingdao team has selected well foreign aid in the past two years, the playing style is relatively clear, and the youth training development is very good, but this thousands of problems need to be sorted out. Qingdao's youth training has not really cashed in on their talents at the league level at present, and the pursuit of results is not their biggest goal, but the meaning of changing coaches is not to speed up the rise.
No matter how well the official announcement says it, the manager's resignation and departure are often inseparable from one thing: feeling lost trust in the team's plan!
Guo Shiqiang guided to leave Liaoning, a few months later arrived in Guangzhou, Li Chunjiang guidance is not easy to look forward to the three young people to become a star, but had to let go of another place to continue to start a business. Four years ago, these two also led the team to play in the finals, but the team's record in the next two or three seasons was obviously not satisfactory to the management, and it was natural to leave.
The head coach is also a worker, and it is very difficult to not be trusted in the post, especially in the conditions of the CBA, and the goals set by many team management are not pragmatic at all. Without the accumulation of youth training, it is easy to talk about achievements in the CBA, there is no tacit cooperation between top foreign aid and the team, and if you want to compete for top honors, you can only talk about ambition.
When the manager loses trust, the management will find someone they trust, and over the years the CBA teams have the habit of preparing in advance to cultivate the manager. Yang Ming in Liaoning, Wang Bo in Guangsha, Qiu Biao in Shenzhen, Xie Libin in Beijing, including Liu Weiwei in Zhejiang, are all manager successors that the club has focused on cultivating from the beginning.
Each team has its own hardships, not that it is necessarily the responsibility of the coach or management, but in the CBA, which requires years of accumulation and youth training investment, the high frequency of coach changes is obviously a very dangerous thing.
Mutual trust between the team and the manager is the key to building a rising team, the management has planned a successor in the early days, if there is no easy change of coach, then the result is mostly how ambitious, how quickly to lose confidence in the successor.
At present, the cooperation between Guangdong and Du Feng can be regarded as a model, not only the team has won three consecutive championships, before that, Du feng led the team not without losing, but Guangdong trusted him very much. Wang Han of Jilin has a similar coaching situation, having coached for a period of time, then going abroad to study for further study, and playing in the playoffs every year after returning to Jilin, which is a successful case in teams with less investment.
The boss's class tide does not seem to have passed, Tongxi and Liu Tie's director have not yet renewed the news, and Fujian and Zhu Shilong have staged the same script every year. In the game of management, they always forget that for the manager, trust is also combat effectiveness!
