The 2023 season of the CBA season has all ended, as China's top professional league, CBA carries the hope of Chinese basketball, from the perspective of the play and performance of the entire season, the gap between the Chinese men's basketball team and Europe and the United States is not a star. The all-round backwardness also objectively reflects the status of the Chinese men's basketball team in the international arena. Looking back on the entire season, the league's three shortcomings may need to be improved and summarized in the future.
First: confrontation ability, not fierce confrontation but obvious fatigue in the later stage.
In the finals, the Zhejiang men's basketball team is completely one-sided disadvantage, and the Zhejiang men's basketball team can be described as the most confrontational team in the regular season, repeatedly using high confrontation to win the game. But when it came to the finals, where did this confrontation of the Zhejiang men's basketball team go? In front of the Liaoning men's basketball team, the Zhejiang men's basketball team is like primary school students and middle school students playing, and it is in a comprehensive downside in the confrontation.
Liaoning men's basketball team has a strong confrontation? Those who have watched the Finals do not think so, all this physical confrontation, not to mention the NBA, even the Australian league is significantly stronger than the intensity of the CBA.
Without physical confrontation, you will suffer losses on the international arena, and the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team on the international arena has confirmed this view. If the league is still fighting with such intensity, how strong can the national team be?
Second: physical problems, the big shortcomings of the CBA league, and the ceiling of each team.
The Liaoning men's basketball team can win the championship, in fact, it is stronger than other teams in the overall lineup of the team, and there are more players who can be rotated. The biggest problem for the Zhejiang men's basketball team to lose the finals is that it is really collapsed physically. Wang Shilong hopes that the team can play 48 minutes of high-intensity defensive pressure, but the Zhejiang men's basketball team can only execute about 20 minutes. In other words, domestic players facing opponents of the level of the Liaoning men's basketball team can only show a pitiful 20 minutes of high-concentration oppressive defense.
Referring to last year's national team competition, in the Asian Cup and the World Preliminary Round, the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, Du Feng, also advocated small-ball tactics, this high-intensity oppressive defense. The Chinese team was indeed able to rely on this intensity to lead in the first half, but by the fourth quarter the entire Chinese team would have lost speed and defensive hardness.
Therefore, what the CBA needs to improve is the team's physical training, as a professional player, fitness is the guarantee of the team's bottom line. Without physical fitness, you don't want to win any game.
Third: the problem of coaching, the lack of on-the-spot ability, requires a high-quality coach training system.
CBA coaches have average ability, but the ability to fight with referees and become a movie star is definitely the world's top level. Take the end of the 2023 season, the Shandong high-speed men's basketball team has pitchers such as Qiao Wenhan, Jia Cheng, and Ke Lanbaike, and Wang Han has not solved the problem of not shooting in the entire third stage. Zhejiang Guangsha men's basketball team Hu Jinqiu was injured in the playoffs, so Wang Bo did not take any protective measures. Li Chunjiang and Li Nan need to lead the team to win through tacit understanding. Wang Shilong's performance in the finals, such as the kind of fighting defense in the first half when he obviously knew that he could not support the whole game, did not make any tactical adjustments to Wu Qian when he knew that Wu Qian was an indispensable part of the team. Knowing that the opponent's internal fitness is in crisis, he is unwilling to use more Lacco to kill.
The level of the entire CBA coach has obvious shortcomings and problems. The only way to improve and change is to build a quality coaching system, not to retire from the team and become a manager immediately. Don't let alone be exempted from the coach exam because you are a basketball player.
To summarize:
Throughout the CBA season, I personally believe that the Chinese men's basketball team can improve many things, such as how to improve the ability to fight through high-intensity games, and how to improve the physical limit of players through high-quality training quality. How to establish a scientific and effective coach training system to train more high-quality coaches for basketball. Only when the level of coaches is improved, the training can be more scientific, and only when the training is guaranteed, can the players have better physical fitness to improve the confrontation.
