On the evening of April 20, in Zhejiang Guangsha's away game against Guangdong Hongyuan, Hu Jinqiu's left leg was injured and was supported by the team doctor to leave the field, and then the fans at the scene saw Hu Jinqiu being carried on a stretcher and left in an ambulance, and the situation was not optimistic. Later, according to the news of the well-known media person "Three Soil Thorns", Hu Jinqiu was diagnosed with a torn ligament in his left foot and will miss all the remaining games of the season, which is Hu Jinqiu's injury in the playoffs for three consecutive years, and it is also the fourth time he has suffered a serious injury in the past three years.
As the inner core of the Guangsha team, Hu Jinqiu is also the main player of the men's national basketball team, one of the best power forward players in the current national team, and has a heavy national team competition task. However, in recent years, Hu Jinqiu has been injured frequently, injured at a critical time in the playoffs for three consecutive years, and has suffered four serious injuries in the past three years. A large part of the reason for their repeated injuries is the team, and Coach Wang Bo, as the head coach of the Guangsha team, should take full responsibility, or at least the main responsibility.
Looking back at Hu Jinqiu's four serious injuries in the past three years, on April 15, 2022, in the playoffs semifinals G2, Hu Jinqiu was hit on the left rib side during the game and was diagnosed with a ruptured spleen. Bleeding from the spleen, on September 22, 2022, Hu Jinqiu fractured the fibula of his left lower leg in an internal teaching and training match against Shandong, on May 3, 2023, in the semi-finals of the playoffs G4, Hu Jinqiuwei suffered a foot injury, and the diagnosis was a contusion of the articular surface and lateral malleolus bone of the distal tibia and the right posterior talofibular ligament, and on April 20, 2024, in the 1/4 final G2 of the playoffs, the ligament tear of the left foot was caused by the left foot.
Looking at Hu Jinqiu's injury history in the last three years, he has never played a full season in the past three years, and he has always been injured in key games in the playoffs, which has caused a lot of trouble for the Guangsha team, and at the same time, it has a great impact on the arrangement of the national team's games in the offseason. If it weren't for the injury, the Guangsha team might have won the championship, whenever I saw Hu Jinqiu fighting for injury in the playoffs, there would always be an inexplicable heartache, sometimes I wonder if the Guangsha team changes a head coach, or Hu Jinqiu and Sun Minghui go to other teams (such as Guangdong Hongyuan, Guangzhou Longshi), will there be fewer injuries and can play more key games healthily.
Coach Wang Bo of the Guangsha team first played for the CBA Jilin team, transferred to Zhejiang Guangsha in 2009, announced his retirement in November 2013, was selected for the national team squad in 2004 but unfortunately missed the 2004 Athens Olympics, and was also selected for the training squad in 2003 and 2005 and failed to participate in the competition. After retiring, Wang Bo served as an assistant coach in the Guangsha team, and in December 2020, Li Chunjiang announced his resignation as the head coach of the Guangsha team, and then assistant coach Wang Bo became the head coach of the Guangsha team until today.
Coach Wang Bo's long-term and high-intensity use of key players in the regular season has been criticized by many fans, although this can allow the team to obtain a good regular season record, but for the main players in the long season will be very tired, and it is easy to cause the risk of injury. In the past few seasons when he served as the head coach of Guangsha, several assistant players of the team, such as Hu Jinqiu, Sun Minghui, Zhao Yanhao, etc., were frequently injured, which had a lot to do with his coaching and employing methods. Looking at the opponent Guangdong team, they can let Zhou Qi recuperate at the beginning of the season, they can sacrifice the regular season record, and they can let Zhou Qi only play more than 20 minutes per game in the regular season, in order to keep him healthy and conserve his strength, and then play an excellent performance in the playoffs, which is obviously not as good as Du Feng's guidance by Coach Wang Bo.
There is also the regular season Guangsha team 3-1 Liaoning team, although the regular season in the face of the old opponent played a good record, but there is no practical significance, Liaoning team is still the first team in the regular season this season, and the Guangsha team is about to be eliminated in the 1/4 finals, and there is no chance to meet Liaoning in the playoffs. There was once a fan who compared the regular season. The other teams are testing each other, only the Guangsha team came up and threw bricks with big moves, but the regular season used up all the tricks, and there was no way to do it in the playoffs.
The Guangsha team and Coach Wang Bo should really change their strategy, the regular season record is not so important, and the health of the main players is the most important. The regular season can give the main players more rest time, let the young players play a little longer, and at the same time cultivate the young players, the main team can get enough rest, so why not do such a multi-pronged thing?
