After the biggest scandal in the CBA this season, the Suzhou team and Shanghai team blatantly match-fixing incident broke out, the head coach and general manager of the two teams were suspended by the basketball association for three to five years at the same time. Half a month has passed, the two head coaches in the vortex, Li Nan and Li Chunjiang, are in different situations, Li Nan has successfully started a business and become the boss, and the stubborn Li Chunjiang has only been invited by the Offshore Alliance, for him who is over sixty years old, whether to stay in China every day, or abandon his family and business to start over overseas, is indeed a problem.
This season's CBA league can be described as a hot spot, first because of Zhou Qi's identity problem, resulting in an open confrontation between the Xinjiang men's basketball team and the basketball association, and then staged a wave of farce of withdrawal and resumption, tossing for half a day Xinjiang men's basketball team did nothing but mouth cannons, and even surrendered the playoff spot; And an even uglier scene appeared in the playoffs play-offs, Suzhou Kendia men's basketball team against Shanghai men's basketball series match, the two teams put down the concept of fair competition and actually played tacit understanding, the last 2 minutes of the third game can be called the darkest moment in the history of Chinese sports, because the conditions were negotiated, the Suzhou men's basketball team made 5 consecutive low-level mistakes in the lead, head coach Li Nan in order to ensure the loss of the game, and even replaced his son to enhance execution, and Li Lupu took the rebound and directly passed the ball to the opponent to dunk and score, was scolded by fans.
After Suzhou lost the game, the team's general manager Shi Linjie was not ashamed and proud, and according to the results of the Chinese Basketball Association, the general manager was banned for five years like Li Chunjiang, and it can be said that they are the biggest promoters and masterminds of this shameful match-fixing incident. The final penalty result, eight-time CBA championship coach Li Chunjiang was banned for five years, and Li Nan, the former head coach of the national team, was banned for three years, both of whom were about sixty years old, not only were it difficult to come back after a few years, but even the honor previously created for the team and the national team was erased, it can be said that a match-fixing wiped out the identity of the two to be selected for the Chinese Basketball Hall of Fame in the future.
Although Li Nan and Li Chunjiang were banned from basketball-related work in the CBA, after all, they are still high-tech talents in the field of basketball, and in less than half a month, both have new work dynamics. Li Nan put down the burden of coaches and partnered with several people to open a basketball school in Shanxi, called Yidong American Basketball Hall, once national team coach Li Nan as the principal, it can be said that he is at ease, and the partners are also famous player Li Gen, and basketball manager Huo Nan. These three have good results in the player era, and now have certain connections in basketball coaching, promotion and commentary, and it can be said that the future prospects of this basketball school are good.
Compared with Li Nan, who became the principal, Li Chunjiang is in a much more embarrassing situation, just sixty years old this year, he is notoriously stubborn, once led to the national youth competition strike led to the removal of the national team, and now led the club to be banned, more embarrassing is that his son Li Jinglong is not contentious, in the CBA for several years, from the main pitcher gradually passerby, although he joined the Shenzhen team in 2022, he has only played 2 games so far and was abandoned. If Li Chunjiang wants to survive the long ban period, the only possibility is to coach in the ASEAN League, some reporters said that he has received a similar invitation, but he is abroad, the language habits are different, for him who is sixty years old, the test is too big, more importantly, the ASEAN League competition is very evil, suspected match-fixing matches abound, Lao Li can not fall twice in the same pit.
