The U17 men's basketball team lost 1-5 and lost 29 points to the weak team, and Wang Fang was criticized for cronyism
The first team of the Chinese men's basketball team basically had no games to play during this time, they lost the World Cup, and lost to the second team of the Philippines in the semifinals of the Hangzhou Asian Games, losing the gold medal that could have been won, and recently lost to the Japanese team in the Asian preliminaries, which disappointed the Chinese people. The prospects of the Chinese national youth men's basketball team are not much better, and the U17 men's basketball team recently participated in the 2024 Mannheim Invitational Tournament, but it was also defeated.
In this invitational tournament, the U17 men's basketball team played a total of six games, with a record of 1 win and 5 losses, which was very bad, and finally ranked 10th out of 12 participating teams. The head coach who led this team was Li Xiaoyong, because of his poor on-the-spot command ability, he lost some games that he shouldn't have lost, such as being reversed by 19 points by Egypt in Africa, which really shouldn't have been, and it was a shame to lose.
The Czech Republic is considered to be the weakest team in the same group as Japan, losing to Japan, but our U17 men's basketball team lost by 29 points, nearly 40 points at most, which is really embarrassing. Li Xiaoyong also played a three-back style of play in the game with the Czech Republic, which was angrily criticized by the media and fans, who said: "I really don't know why Li Xiaoyong, the B coach, likes the three-back so much, and he can't play the game at all", "Li Xiaoyong quickly cut himself!"
Everyone thinks that the players are playing well, and the worst is the coach. Media person Ding Jianing said after watching the big loss to the Czech Republic: The future of Chinese basketball depends on training players, and it is useless to train coaches first. The cognitive level of the coach is like that, what good players can be cultivated. As in schools, is the poor physical condition of students entirely due to the students? Many physical education teachers are not good at their cognitive level, motor skills, and sense of responsibility, and they will inevitably not be able to improve their students' athletic ability. Again, if a teacher can't teach a student, that's a fraud. He hopes that China's sports industry, whether it is a national brand or a grassroots level, whether it is professional sports or campus sports, can reduce fraudsters.
A coach like Li Xiaoyong simply does not have the level to coach a national team. Japan's national youth team was coached by Martinez, the former assistant coach of the Liaoning team, so why can't our national youth team ask Ugo to coach? His level is always higher than that of Li Xiaoyong.
However, as a fellow countryman, Li Xiaoyong is the executive director of the National Team Construction Committee and the vice chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association Wang Fang's celebrity, and Wang Fang has a very large right to speak, and the national coaches are all approved by her. Over the years, many Liaoning coaches have become the head coaches of the national team, such as Li Xin and Li Xiaoyong, who are Wang Fang's trusted people, but the results of these two teams are not satisfactory. Wang Fang was also angrily criticized by Liaoning media people, calling her nepotism.
Li Xiaoyong led the team to a bad performance in the Mannheim Invitational Tournament, the U17 men's basketball team lost 1-5, lost to the Czech Republic by 29 points, and the defeat was like a mountain, which made people unable to see the future of the Chinese men's basketball team, which is inseparable from Wang Fang. What do you say?
