On April 29, Beijing time, the Chinese Basketball Association officially announced that the Chinese men's basketball short training camp will be organized at Qingdao Guoxin Basketball Training Base from May 1 to May 10.
The specific list is roughly as follows:
Jiao Boqiao (Guangzhou team)
Liao Sanning, Chen Guohao (Beijing Enterprises Team)
Wang Lanyan, Lin Wei (Tongxi Team)
Duan Angjun, Zhao Jiayi, Yang Hansen (Qingdao team)
Wang Haoran (Shenzhen Team)
Zou Yang (Fujian team)
Lee Shin Yee, Cho Wei Lun (foreign players)
Seeing this, many fans have expressed their appreciation for this.
First of all, this kind of "training camp" at the national team level does need to be organized frequently, and every offseason, the first thing that comes to the mind of many of our players is "rest" rather than "training".
Self-discipline is just too poor.
In this case, let's have such a so-called "training camp."
To put it bluntly, it doesn't matter if some players want to train or not, the big guys train together.
In any case, with the time and action, there is always something to be gained.
Secondly, the players selected are mainly young players.
Whether you like to admit it or not, the future of Chinese basketball will always be with young players.
Even now it is generally accepted that one generation is more or less inferior to the next.
Even so, we still have to insist on giving young players opportunities and stages.
Just pointing to the current "veterans", not to say whether they are necessarily better than young players, but as they get older, including in recent years, the Chinese men's basketball team has no decent international competition tasks.
It is no exaggeration to say that the era that belongs to them has quietly come to an end.
In this way, it is normal for younger players to come forward on stage.
Moreover, changing some "fresh blood" may be able to have some different effects.
In 2017, Yao Ming advocated the "double national team" strategy at the beginning of his tenure as president of the Basketball Association, and now many of the main players began to emerge during that period.
That is, giving more young players opportunities, no matter what situation the Chinese men's basketball team is in, this is a relatively correct path.
In other words, even Zhang Mingchi can complete the transformation under Du Feng's tireless efforts, and he can't think of any reason why other players can't improve.
Then, there are two foreign players, Li Xinyi and Zhao Weilun, which can be regarded as a big "change".
With many of our small families "branching out" in other countries and regions, many children who like basketball have indeed embarked on a different path from domestic youth training and drafts.
That's a very good point.
After receiving a more scientific training method and a better basketball atmosphere, we will make a comparison with our domestic players of the same age.
See which one is more effective.
This is also related to whether these foreign players can become an important part of the Chinese men's basketball team in the future.
With these positive aspects out of the way, let's talk about the aspects that I don't quite understand.
I don't know if you've noticed a problem.
That is, the head coach this time is still Djordjevic.
Of course, some fans will say that according to the contract, he is still the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, so he will naturally continue to be the head coach of this short training camp.
Indeed, there is no problem in looking at it this way.
However, the problem now is that everyone knows that he will step down as the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team after his contract expires.
In other words, he will have no relationship with the Chinese men's basketball team at that time, and all his current so-called systems and tactics will also be "cleared".
So why not get your new head coach up to speed now?
It's also good to have a mutual "familiarity" in advance.
Of course, this is somewhat "conjectural", after all, the new head coach of the men's basketball team is not so easy to find.
Everyone knows that this is a big "hot potato".
However, to put it mildly, in the face of people like Djordjevic, who are arrogant and unreasonable, think too highly of themselves, do not want to make progress, and will only lie down and sleep on the "credit book" of the past.
Even if he finds a random person to be the head coach in this training camp, he will not continue to let him serve again.
He disappeared when the league was going on, and when the league was almost over, he started showing up again.
It is so possible to connect work and life.
And the salary can also reach the million level, mind you, it's dollars.
Personally, I think this can basically compete for the most cost-effective job in the world.
The most important thing is that even if he keeps losing, public opinion is not very strict with him, and he feels that most of the responsibility still lies with the players.
