The fierce flames of the CBA regular season and playoffs have come to an end, but the prologue of the new season has not yet closed. In the season just ended, the Guangdong team lost to Liaoning in the semifinals and missed the finals, which is undoubtedly the most regrettable result for the team and coach Du Feng.
On May 13, at the last press conference of the season, Du Feng encountered a "double difficulty" from a reporter from Liaoning. A reporter from Liaoning TV first asked Du Feng: "Can you predict who will win the championship in the finals?" This is undoubtedly a tricky question. After all, Guangdong has just lost to Liaoning in the semifinals, and you ask Du Feng to predict whether Liaoning can win the championship in the finals, which is undoubtedly deliberately making things difficult. And if Du Feng chooses to support other teams, such as Xinjiang, it will cause another controversy.
Faced with such an embarrassing situation, Du Feng could only helplessly say, "I can't predict this problem." The seasoned coach is clearly reluctant to make any subjective assumptions about the future of the Finals in this delicate situation.
But what made Du Feng even more speechless was that a reporter from Shenyang asked another chilling question: "Now that the team is out, you said before that you want to learn from the Liaoning team, do you feel regret or pity?"
This is undoubtedly deliberately provoking Du Feng's bottom line. After Du Feng lost to Liaoning in the playoffs, he once stated that he wanted to learn from this team. And now, the reporter dug up these words and asked Du Feng if he felt regret. This is undoubtedly spreading falsehoods and deliberately stimulating Du Feng's nerves.
In the face of such "ridicule", Du Feng could only respond helplessly: "I'm actually not so disappointed, it's not easy for our young team to get here." It can be seen that Du Feng's tone and expression at this time are no longer so calm, and he has obviously been troubled by the reporter's troubles.
You must know that in the just-concluded playoffs, the Guangdong team unfortunately stopped in the semifinals, which is undoubtedly a heavy blow to this giant team. And Du Feng, as the coach, is under tremendous pressure. Under such circumstances, he should have received the understanding and support of fans and the media, but the reality was that he encountered a "double difficulty" from Liaoning reporters.
For Du Feng, this is not the first time he has encountered such doubts and opposition. In the previous history of the CBA, he has repeatedly encountered various doubts from fans and the media. Some questioned his tactical decisions, others thought he didn't use people properly, and others thought he didn't get along well with the players. However, every time in this kind of negative public opinion, Du Feng is able to remain calm and professional, and respond to doubts with his own practical actions.
However, at the final press conference of this season, Du Feng showed a rare look of helplessness and embarrassment. It can be seen that the "double difficulty" from the Liaoning reporter this time has had a great impact on the veteran coach.
As one of the most successful coaches in the history of the CBA, Du Feng has always been regarded as "synonymous with the Guangdong men's basketball team". Under his leadership, this giant team has won countless honors and achieved legends. But in the semifinals of this season, they had no choice but to stop there and missed the finals, which was undoubtedly a heavy blow to Du Feng's coaching resume.
Although Guangdong missed out on the finals, their outstanding performances in the regular season and playoffs still make people look forward to their prospects in the new season. As the manager, Du Feng has more responsibilities on his shoulders, and he must rebuild the team's confidence in the new season and lead them to the championship again. But at this critical moment, he encountered a "double difficulty" from Liaoning reporters, which undoubtedly increased Du Feng's psychological pressure.
As one of the most successful coaches in CBA history, Du Feng has always been in the spotlight. But during his coaching career, he has also been questioned by fans and the media many times. This time, the "double difficulty" from the Liaoning reporter made him feel the pressure of public opinion again. As a professional coach, he certainly wants to be able to focus on building and coaching the team, rather than dealing with all kinds of doubts all the time.
Finally, we also need to take into account that Du Feng, as a professional coach who has coached for many years, will inevitably feel tired and burned out after the season. After all, after a season, he needs to bear the pressure of team management, tactical deployment, player management and other aspects. At such a time, he encountered the "double difficulty" from Liaoning reporters, which was undoubtedly an additional impact on him.
In general, the "reporter difficulty" encountered by Du Feng at the last press conference of the season reflects the complex game between all forces on the CBA stage. As the coach of the Guangdong men's basketball team, Du Feng has always been concerned and under pressure, and this encounter has undoubtedly further exacerbated this pressure.
But we must also see that as a senior professional coach, Du Feng still maintains a considerable professional level in the face of this dilemma. Although he reluctantly expressed his opinion, he did not lose control of his emotions like some young coaches. This is also the strength of Du Feng's professionalism accumulated over the years.
Looking forward to the future, I believe that Du Feng will be able to lead the Guangdong men's basketball team to the top again. As the new season approaches, he must continue to maintain a steady mindset and lead the team to the next glory. I believe that under his leadership, the Guangdong men's basketball team will be able to become the absolute master of the CBA league again in the new season.
