The storm of the Suhu men's basketball team has settled, and Yao Ming and the CBA league issued the heaviest fine in history, but to be honest, this result is a little leeway. The last few minutes of the game were not match-fixing, perhaps it was a tacit ball without negotiation, and it almost became uncontrollable. If there is enough tacit understanding between the two teams, it will definitely be "performed" at the beginning of the game, and such a poor acting will not be staged at the last moment. It was too late, and the parties and the team were duly punished.
The two teams cancelled this season's results and fined each another 5 million, which actually did not have much impact on the team, but the efforts of the players were in vain, and it was a good man to make a comeback next season. But for the managers of the two teams, the impact of the penalty results is very different. Li Nan was fined and banned from registering as a coach for 3 years, and Li Nan was only 54 years old 3 years later, and he had every chance to stage redemption. For Li Chunjiang, this punishment is very likely to end his coaching career.
Now Li Chunjiang is 60 years old, has reached retirement age in 5 years, and modern basketball is changing so quickly, if he does not contact the basketball circle for 5 years, he will return again is already off track, so the possibility of taking the coaching position again is almost 0. After learning the result of his punishment, Li Chunjiang only responded with 2 words "five years"! After that, he didn't say a word for 10 minutes, knowing better than himself what these five years meant.
Judging from the exposed video footage, although it is only a short 10 minutes, Li Chunjiang seems to have aged a lot in an instant, especially the spirit has completely disappeared, and there is no passion and domineering when coaching. Now there is no need to pursue the initiators of the incident, but Li Chunjiang is indeed the party who made mistakes, and he must be punished for making mistakes, even if he has fought for Chinese basketball all his life. But fortunately, Yao Ming still has mercy under his subordinates, perhaps because of the unique "understanding" of Li Chunjiang by fellow basketball people.
Perhaps the emergence of the incident is not under Li Chunjiang's control, so Yao Ming has opened up in terms of punishment, only banning Li Chunjiang from registering as a coach for 5 years, and does not prohibit him from engaging in basketball-related careers, so he can continue to stay in the CBA in other positions. What should Li Chunjiang do after the punishment results are announced? The first is to say goodbye to basketball and go home to retire, perhaps this is also the first thought of the vast majority of fans, after all, Li Chunjiang's coaching resume and achievements are enough to make him worry about food and clothing for the rest of his life.
The second is to coach in overseas leagues, such as poaching the addictive East Asian Super League of the CBA League, which may become Li Chunjiang's next destination. And there have been news reports that the Hong Kong Wing Dragons coached by CBA coach Gore have not performed well, and the team's top management is also considering whether to change the coach or not. Now with Li Chunjiang being punished, the Hong Kong Wing Dragons should come to strengthen the manager's best chance, after all, Li Chunjiang's coaching ability is undoubted, and it can definitely bring qualitative improvement to the team. Secondly, Li Chunjiang's popularity and flow are no less than that of players, which is also very helpful for the East Asian Super League.
The third way is to continue to stay in the Shanghai men's basketball team, the punishment result is to ban the registration of coaches, but does not say that he is prohibited from holding other team positions, so the Shanghai men's basketball team can keep Li Chunjiang within the team, such as as a technical director or team consultant, or even enter the team management. If this is the case, Li Chunjiang can still be regarded as the "coach" of the team, but from the front of the stage to the background, and this may be the best solution between Li Chunjiang and the Shanghai men's basketball team.
