Man in the game|Dorgevich: The head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, what should he do?

Author's foreword: Three years after the epidemic, I had the privilege of stepping on the Tsuen Wan Stadium in Hong Kong to once again conduct live coverage of the long-lost event. From the first media public training on February 22 to the end of the game against Iran at noon on the 26th, I met Qiao Shuai and the men's basketball boys every day during the five days of the Chinese men's basketball team playing in the World Preliminary Tournament in Hong Kong, and this article is based on these five days of observation. I hope that after reading the article, you can piece together a new men's basketball coach Jordjevic in your mind.

Jordjevic, who was born as a player, even at the age of 55, still maintains a good figure, thin and tall, tall, except for the bald head, the back is no different from the athletes and assistants, but when he turns his head, his eyes are the characteristic seriousness and sharpness of European coaches, and when communicating with the media, he shows the humor that has been immersed in this line for a long time.

For example, he will answer directly: "I forgot, I really don't lie to you." Well, I'm kidding. ”

For example, he would also directly point to the interview dividing line and say to reporters: "It is because you stand behind this line that I can't tell you the content of my conversation with Zhao Jiwei, if you can say, then you are not online." “

A "hard-boned" coach is "easygoing" in private, which is also a contrasting cute.

Qiao Shuai plays in Europe

As a player and coach, Giordjevic is very famous in Serbian basketball and even in the world basketball world, and the big heart is his style of play as a player, and he directly drove Serbia's main defender out of the national team when he coached the World Cup in 2014. But he went to China this time, took office on November 16, announced the training list on January 19, started training on February 1, played Kazakhstan on February 23, and the same process as the progress of PPT, although it was a battle of military training, and finally left the outside world with two world preliminary rounds that did not look perfect.

And the coaching gap between Qiao Shuai in the two games on the 23rd and 26th can be described as a world of difference. Yes, I'm talking about superficial body language and voice size.

The first game against Kazakhstan, toes want to know that they can win a game, the opening Chinese men's basketball team showed a bright defense, at the beginning of the game Qiao Shuai sat firmly in the coach's dugout, except for his most important defensive round stand up and shout, during the offensive round, and Yao Ming on the opposite side across the court to stomp legs. But everything that happened later still scared Qiao Shuai, how he couldn't throw in, how he couldn't prevent it, and even forced him to go to the back for a while. He began to punch into the air, holding his hands and sulking; The technical desk called a pause a little late, and would point to the eyes and lose his temper; When a player makes a mistake on the field, he will communicate with the captain Zhou Peng, who is sitting off the field.

Of course, he often communicates the performance of the players on the field with the bench, but I believe that Zhou Peng is his interpreter, the old captain who can make young players stand up immediately, the defensive titan who can directly teach Cui Yongxi how to bypass the block on the field, and Zhou Peng is one of the people Qiao Shuai can trust in his debut in charge.

Qiao Shuai is trying to integrate, before forming a lineup, he took the initiative to find Guo Allen and asked him about his injury and willingness to play with the national team, but he didn't really play the game, he wouldn't really understand the famous players of the Chinese men's basketball team, and he needed the right to speak.

In addition to Zhou Peng, the person that Qiao Shuai can trust, there is also Zhao Jiwei. During the media public training before hitting Iran, we saw such a picture: Zhao Jiwei on the left, Qiao Shuai in the middle, Liu Wei on the right, and the three chatted alone for a long time. Although the content of the chat is unknown, we look at the overall situation and performance of the second game against Iranian Zhao Jiwei, which shows that Qiao Shuai already knows that the Chinese basketball world cannot find a second such smart guard, and I believe that he also understands the "basic friendship" between Zhao Jiwei and Zhou Qi in the mouth of Gong Luming, even if the follow-up interview Qiao Shuai seems to be hard-mouthed: "I communicate with everyone, and I didn't open a small stove for the discipline commission." “

Open a small stove famous scene

When asked about the coaching style of the new coach, the men's basketball players almost always answered the point of grasping the details, and Wang Zhelin even commented: "If I don't do this action well, the coach will let me do it again." Zhao Jiwei was faced with the same question, and the answer was: "He asked me to condense the team better." “

It was revealed that Zhao Jiwei did not start in the second half of the first game against Kazakhstan, and did not play in the third quarter, because the discipline commission was accidentally poked by the referee in the first half of the finger, which is purely unlucky, and has nothing to do with the battle of the starting guards, such an injury Zhao Jiwei himself is also helpless. But we saw that the final score was chased within ten points, and Qiao Shuai still went to Zhao Jiwei.

By the second game against Iran, Qiao Shuai had a noticeable change: his voice became louder.

The deepest impression is that Qiao Shuai scolded Zhang Zhenlin for not throwing a chance, Tsuen Wan Stadium is a community gymnasium, this small stadium with only two floors (the second floor can only be said to be a stand), echoing Qiao Shuai's voice: "Can't you shoot?!" (Can't you shoot?) When Jin Jin was deaf, his eyes were confused.

This roar is still echoing in the author's mind, let alone Zhang Zhenlin.

Not only the sound, but also many such hardcore moments, such as Zhao Rui was scratched by the opponent's arm when defending, was temporarily replaced, and had to listen to the training before leaving, at this time Hei Rui's blood flowed to his fingers; Zeng Fanbo had too many problems in his national team debut, and he sat cross-legged in front of Qiao Shuai to feel the oppression; Hu Jinqiu replaced Zhou Qi to resist the Iranian inside, and was slapped on the butt by Qiao Shuai when he came off; During the game, Wu Qian made a mistake and directly opened his mouth to scold; The referee in the stadium scolded for a technical foul, and the innocent was hit by Qiao Shuai I don't know how many times the billboard...

Qiao Shuai patted Hu Jinqiu's butt

After the baptism of the "rookie Chinese men's basketball head coach" in the first game, he also understood that coming to China does not have to learn our Chinese politeness.

At the end of the first game against Kazakhstan, the outside world criticized continuously, nothing more than saying: Du Feng won 12 points, you also have 12 points, what's the difference?

Don't say, there is a difference when warming up, before the game, the assistant church takes the players to a little Zen warm-up, like a physical education class when going to school, let the players sit in a circle, shake their legs, slowly turn back and run to give each other high fives, here Kazakhstan has begun to dunk, over there our men's basketball boys are still throwing their arms. However, the next step will be according to the process of shooting training in various positions, and finally the show dunk stage, requiring everyone to dunk in their own style, and pull the rod to the basket if they can't dunk, in short, the whole stretch. This kind of warm-up, at the beginning the men's basketball boys were a little confused, but the result looks very good.

Men's basketball pre-game training

Back to the topic, the biggest change that Qiao Shuai brought to the men's basketball team is in the selection. He likes talent, likes to bounce well, good physical fitness forwards, so he reuses Cui Yongxi, a 199 big guard similar to Sun Yue, he chose Zhu Junlong, Zhu Xuhang, give Zhang Zhenlin a chance, can't stop praising Zeng Fanbo, and these candidates are basically newcomers, coupled with the crowding of the guard line, Zhou Qi's state is affected by the outside world, and the appearance of old problems such as poor hitting rate is not unexpected. After fighting Iran, Qiao Shuai said a lot of questions about the candidate, the important ones are these words:

"Is Choi Yonghee 19 years old a newcomer? I was called up when I was 15 years old, the coach has already seen my strength, there are no newcomers in Selvia, you can play when you are able. ”

"Some players understand what I say, and some don't."

"I will continue to select people, these two games are just the beginning, just laying the foundation."

Yes, this is certainly not the lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team for the World Cup, not the last appearance of Qiao Jiajun. The two World Preliminary Tournaments, which are not under pressure to qualify, are the beginning of the integration of Jorjevic with the Chinese men's basketball team, and the Chinese men's basketball team with the world basketball world.

In April, Jordjevic will arrange the Serbian men's basketball team and the Chinese men's basketball team to play a warm-up game, and our Chinese men's basketball team can finally have a serious warm-up match, thanks to Qiao Shuai's connections.

Is the future bright? Djordjevic was in the middle of the game and could only look forward.
