Recently, there has been news on the Internet that Yao Ming may be forced to leave class, and the reason is nothing more than this men's basketball Asian Cup. Losing to the South Korean men's basketball team and the Lebanese men's basketball team, the Chinese men's basketball team only ranked eighth, creating the worst record in history since the Asian Cup.
In fact, many people will first target Du Feng, as the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, Du Feng should be the first person to take responsibility. Missing the Tokyo Olympics is a pain in the hearts of many fans, and now that they have lost their competitiveness in the Asian Cup, it is difficult to imagine why a team that was once able to compete for the top eight in the world could end up in such a situation.
To tell the truth, the poor performance of the Chinese men's basketball team in this Asian Cup is indeed understandable, and after arriving in Australia, it was plagued by the epidemic and the team was short of manpower; The Asian Cup men's basketball team is not the strongest lineup to play, Yi Jianlian, Zhou Peng, Guo Allen, Hu Jinqiu and other core main players have not gone to play, so this is not the strongest lineup of the men's basketball team.
Even though many people pointed the finger at Du Feng and thought he should leave the class, the Basketball Association still chose to believe him and let him continue to lead the team to Europe for training. Many people do not understand why the Basketball Association still believes in Du Feng, so many people think of Yao Ming, and they think that Yao Ming should also be dismissed. In fact, careful analysis, this competition is just a military training, the most important thing is that the men's basketball team will focus on the World Cup and strive for tickets to enter the Olympic Games. In recent years, Yao Ming has also vigorously promoted campus basketball, and the momentum of basketball development is very good.
Recently, the Chinese Basketball Association held a media home event, Yao Ming is still interviewed as the chairman of the Basketball Association, he mentioned the basketball hall of fame activities, introduced the preparations for the Hall of Fame, and looked forward to the future of Chinese basketball. Therefore, the rumors about Yao Ming's dismissal are also self-defeating, and everyone should not listen to the wind is rain. The future of the men's basketball team is still expected, I believe that the future of Chinese basketball will be better!
