Recently, a news about Wenban being taught a lesson by Popovich has caused widespread discussion in the domestic basketball community. This incident not only made people think deeply about the behavior of brushing up on the class, but also made people think about the professionalism of domestic coaches. As a self-media creator of WeChat public account, from the perspective of the author of today's headlines, I hope to tell this true story to readers in a serious self-media style.
This is a well-known phenomenon in the domestic basketball world. Wenban refers to deliberately restricting one's own play in the game, making the opponent score far more than oneself through deliberate mistakes or inexplicable behavior. The purpose of this behavior is to allow the opponent to score more points so that your team can score more points and improve the ranking and points. And Popovich, as a well-known basketball coach, expressed strong dissatisfaction with this behavior.
In a recent game, Popovich\'s side were met by a Wemban.
The team used various tactics to score points in the game, making it very difficult for Popovich's team to deal with. But happily, Popovich didn't choose to glare, but instead chose to have a stern lesson with the team.
In his post-game interview, Popovich said that the behavior of Wemban's scoring was disrespectful to the game of basketball and seriously damaged the image of the entire industry. He said that basketball is a team sport, and victory or defeat should be determined by strength and hard work, not by scoring points. He strongly urged the coaches in the country to pay attention, and maybe one day, their team will also encounter such a situation.
Popovich's remarks sparked a heated discussion in the domestic basketball community. Some people think that the scoring of Wenban is a corruption of professional ethics and a departure from the spirit of basketball. And there are also people who feel that it doesn't matter, they think that as long as they can achieve good results, they can use any means. This divergence of opinion also reflects the attitude of domestic coaches towards basketball.
In foreign countries, this kind of practice is prohibited.
Some countries impose severe penalties such as fines and bans for such behavior. Why do domestic coaches still condone the existence of such behavior?
Perhaps, this has something to do with the fierce competition in domestic basketball competitions, and many coaches have to resort to such tactics in order to keep their jobs and team rankings.
But we cannot excuse such unfair behavior because of the high level of competition. Popovich's remarks are a cautionary tale to maintain a work ethic, respect the rules of the game, and truly focus on the development and spirit of the athletes. Only in this way can domestic basketball truly develop and grow.
In short, the incident of Wemban's scoring and being taught by Popovich shows us the problems that exist in the domestic basketball world. It's not just about basketball, it's about ethics. Domestic coaches need to learn from Popovich's approach and confront and correct this unfair behavior. Only in this way can domestic basketball move towards a more fair and just path!
