The countdown to the end of class by Jorjevich begins! The Chinese men's basketball team lost two consecutive games in the group stage of the 2023 Men's Basketball World Cup, with little hope of qualifying for the knockout round, and the team can only prepare for the 17th to 32nd place qualifying round. The players are under a lot of pressure for this game against Puerto Rico, but now is not the time to talk about Giordevic's contract and dismissal, let's take a look back at the manager's coaching experience and Yao's important role.
First of all, it should be emphasized that the ultimate goal of the Chinese men's basketball team is to qualify for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Four years ago, they missed an opportunity, which led to the voluntary resignation of head coach Li Nan. Du Feng then took over as head coach and performed well in the World Qualifiers, securing World Cup qualification ahead of schedule. However, the results of the Asian Cup caused controversy, coupled with the basketball association's plan to hire a full-time head coach, Du Feng also voluntarily resigned, which is a pity for him.
Djordjevic signed a contract with an annual salary of 7 million yuan, which will expire after the end of the Hangzhou Asian Games.
If he fails to achieve his intended goals at the Asian Games, then he will most likely leave class when his contract expires. Of course, if the team has a poor record after the World Cup, Jorjevic may also resign voluntarily in the face of public pressure like Li Nan.
However, the person most stressed may be Yao Ming. Four years ago, he firmly took responsibility for the failure of the Chinese men's basketball team to qualify for the Olympics. Now, fans don't want to hear the same answer again, nor do they want to see the Chinese men's basketball team go backwards. Yao Ming has full trust in Jordjevic, believing that as a famous European coach, he has rich coaching experience and can help the Chinese men's basketball team.
However, Yao Ming has not forgotten Du Feng's achievements for the team in the past few years, and his coaching ability is recognized in the eyes of the basketball association and Yao Ming. Therefore, if Giordjevic is unable to achieve the team's goals, the basketball association may reconsider the choice of domestic coaches, with Du Feng, men's basketball assistant coach Guo Shiqiang and Liu Wei all candidates.
Domestic coaches, such as Du Feng and Guo Shiqiang, are more familiar with Chinese players, who have better annual salaries and better knowledge of the CBA league and which players are more expressive on the international stage.
For example, Du Feng has a high opinion of Hu Jinqiu, but in Djordjevic's system, Hu Jinqiu does not get enough opportunities.
In addition, Jordjevic prefers tall young players to smaller players, including Allen Guo and Yi Jianlian. But Du Feng and Li Nan pay more attention to the projection ability and experience of the players. Yi Jianlian has remained silent and has not commented on the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team. Four years ago, he was the absolute brother of the Chinese men's basketball team, but now he may have relieved that neither he nor Guo Allen wants to see the Chinese men's basketball team stand still, or even go backwards.
Allen Guo shared videos of his training and basketball on social media, which also shows that he is eager to play for his country, but he did not get the opportunity to be selected for the men's basketball training camp. All this reflects the current situation and challenges of the Chinese men's basketball team, fans have high expectations for the team, and Yao Ming and the basketball association will continue to work hard to ensure that the team can reach the international level in the future and not regress. In this crucial World Cup season, the Chinese men's basketball team needs to overcome difficulties, stay calm, go all out and live up to the expectations of fans and themselves.
