On the basketball court, wins and defeats are the norm. However, when a once-strong team suffers back-to-back defeats, even hitting a new all-time low, we can't help but ask: is this the problem of the coach, or the problem of the players?
First, let's review the recent performance of the men's basketball team. In the most recent game, the men's basketball team ended in a painful loss, the biggest shame in 18 years. It was a disappointing game, both in terms of tactics and in terms of player performance. And Li Xiaoyong, as the head coach, naturally became the target of public criticism.
So, should Li Xiaoyong really leave class? We need to look at this question from multiple angles. First of all, we must see that Li Xiaoyong, as the head coach, needs to bear a certain amount of responsibility for his tactical layout and personnel use. However, we can't ignore the problem of the players either. After all, basketball is a team sport, and without the cooperation and hard work of the players, the coach's tactics cannot be fully brought into play.
Here I would like to tell a little story. This story takes place on one of my basketball teams when I was a kid. At that time, our captain was a very talented player, but he was always self-assertive and didn't want to listen to his team-mates. As a result, every time he played, he would lead to the defeat of the team because of his individualism. Later, our coach decided to take him off the pitch and let the rest of the players play. As a result, the team's performance immediately improved. This little story tells us that a good coach must not only have excellent tactical vision, but also know how to motivate the players and make them a whole.
Back to the issue of the men's basketball team, we can see that Li Xiaoyong does have some problems in tactical layout and personnel use. However, we can't ignore the problem of the players either. After all, basketball is a team sport, and without the cooperation and hard work of the players, the coach's tactics cannot be fully brought into play.
So, is there a problem with Yao Ming's strategy for selecting a coach? We need to look at this problem from multiple angles. First of all, we must see that Yao Ming, as the chairman of the Basketball Association, has a certain reason for his coach selection strategy. He hopes to improve the overall level of the men's basketball team by bringing in foreign coaches. However, reality gave him a resounding slap in the face. Although these foreign coaches have certain technical advantages, their understanding and adaptability to Chinese basketball are far from enough. That's why they couldn't lead the men's basketball team out of the woods.
So, how should Yao Ming adjust his strategy for selecting coaches? I think he should pay more attention to the training and selection of local coaches. After all, the understanding and adaptability of local coaches in Chinese basketball is incomparable to that of foreign coaches. In addition, local coaches are better able to understand and motivate their players and make them a whole.
Finally, I would like to say that the problem of men's basketball is not only the problem of coaches and players, but also the problem of the entire basketball system. We need to reform and innovate in many aspects such as system, system, and talent training in order to truly improve the overall level of the men's basketball team. And all of this requires the attention and support of each and every one of us.
