In the Chinese basketball world, there is an embarrassing phenomenon: the former champion team, the Sichuan men's basketball team, is now reduced to a sparring partner in the league. The reason behind this cannot be explained in one or two sentences.
First of all, this once glorious team is now facing massive personnel changes. Captain Chen Chen and veteran Su Ruoyu, who were once the mainstays of the team, were sacked. Such an adjustment is undoubtedly a heavy blow to the team. The team's leadership is doing this in an attempt to reverse the current poor record. But is this really the right direction?
Let's look at the team's overall performance. This season, their 1-24 record is really eye-popping. Their performance, compared to other teams, is simply unwatchable. This makes people wonder, what is the reason for such a championship team to fall here?
Recalling the glory days of the Sichuan men's basketball team, at that time they were a strong team in the CBA, and even entered the playoffs many times. But since the start of the new season, everything has changed. From the preparation of the offseason to the introduction of foreign players, the team does not seem to be on the right track.
The team's homegrown player configuration is also a big problem. They have introduced a large number of non-main players, such as Zhu Rongzhen and Yang Linyi. Although it is to enhance its strength, the effect is the opposite. The addition of these players disrupted the original rhythm of the team.
In addition, the team's shortcomings in terms of homegrown players are also obvious. Compared with other playoff teams, Sichuan has almost no advantage. The departure of some key players and the lack of new signings have quietly weakened the team.
The change of coaching staff is also worth mentioning. The original coach Mo Ke was replaced due to poor results, and the new coach Zhang Degui also seemed a little powerless in the face of large changes in personnel. Under his leadership, the team did not improve. The strategy of frequent changes in foreign players has not brought much improvement to the team.
The decision of the boss Zhou Shiqiang is also open to discussion. He tried to revitalize the team by bringing in foreign players, but this strategy is no longer feasible in the current CBA. Although the team tried a number of foreign players in the hope that they could improve their overall strength, the results were not ideal. This approach did not solve the team's fundamental problems.
The deeper problem actually lies in the team's youth training system. The Sichuan men's basketball team has not invested enough in youth training, which is also a key factor in the current situation. Relying on retired players and a large number of foreign players can only be a temporary remedy, not a fundamental solution. Compared with those strong teams with local players as the team, the gap between Sichuan is getting wider and wider.
For example, teams such as Guangdong, Liaoning, Zhejiang, and Guangsha, they can reach the championship in a short period of time, and the key is that they attach importance to the cultivation and competitiveness of local players. These teams not only pay attention to the introduction of foreign players, but also pay more attention to the growth of local players. The Sichuan men's basketball team has obviously not done enough in this regard.
Although the owner Zhou Shiqiang has invested a lot of money in the team, he is not strong enough in attaching importance to youth training. In fact, strengthening youth training and cultivating competitive local players is the real key to the long-term development of CBA teams. The Sichuan men's basketball team still has a long way to go.
The current situation of the Sichuan men's basketball team is not only a team problem, but also reflects the shortcomings of Chinese basketball in youth training and talent training. If we only rely on foreign aid and capital investment, and ignore these basic work, it is difficult for the overall level of Chinese basketball to be truly improved.
This problem cannot be solved overnight. The Sichuan men's basketball team, as well as Chinese basketball, both need time and the right strategy. Fans may also have to be patient and hopefully see this once-glorious team rise again. For the Sichuan men's basketball team, what they need is not only short-term changes, but also long-term planning and continuous investment in youth training.
When summarizing the plight of the Sichuan men's basketball team, we have to admit that their problems are multifaceted. From management to player allocation, from the coaching team to the youth training system, every link needs to be improved. This is not only the responsibility of team managers, but also the entire Chinese basketball system.
Finally, as a former champion team, the experience of the Sichuan men's basketball team has given us a lot of room for reflection. Isn't their setbacks and predicament also reminding us that basketball is not only the outcome of the game, but also a comprehensive embodiment of culture, management, education, and other aspects? I hope that the Sichuan men's basketball team can get out of the predicament as soon as possible and regain its former glory.
