The curtain of the CBA finals opened, and the peak showdown between Liaoning and Xinjiang attracted the attention of countless fans. This is not only a contest of honor, but also a big test of the level of Chinese basketball. Behind the game, it reflects some deep-seated problems of the Chinese men's basketball team. Next, let's analyze this game and what it reflects the current situation of Chinese basketball.
1. Where are the veterans shining, where are the newcomers?
In the first game of the finals, the 37-year-old veteran Han Dejun scored 23 points and 6 rebounds, which became the key to the victory of the Liaoning team. His performance is admirable, but it also makes people think: where is the young power of Chinese basketball? Why is it that in such an important competition, a veteran carries the banner?
This can't help but be reminiscent of the talent gap problem in Chinese basketball. In recent years, although the CBA league has become increasingly popular, there are very few young players who can really make a name for themselves on the international stage. At the same time, some young players who are known as "hope stars" often find it difficult to shoulder big responsibilities at critical moments, which is undoubtedly a major dilemma faced by Chinese basketball.
Second, the hidden dangers behind the prosperity of the league
The vigorous development of the CBA league is impressive, but there are also many problems hidden behind the prosperity. Taking this finals as an example, although the game was fierce, the technical and tactical level was not satisfactory. Some basic coordination and tactical execution are rusty, which is undoubtedly an important reason why it is difficult for the Chinese men's basketball team to achieve good results in the international arena.
In addition, the dependence on foreign aid in the league is also increasing. Although the addition of foreign players has improved the spectacle of the game, it has also compressed the growth space of local players. In the long run, the foundation of Chinese basketball may be shaken.
3. The embarrassing status quo of the Chinese men's basketball team
Through this finals, it is not difficult for us to see the embarrassing status quo of the Chinese men's basketball team. On the one hand, the outstanding performances of the veterans mask the shortcomings of the young players; On the other hand, the prosperity of the league can hardly hide the decline of the national team in the international arena.
In fact, the Chinese men's basketball team has not performed well in international competitions in recent years. Whether it is in the Asian Cup or the World Cup, it is difficult for the Chinese men's basketball team to regain its former glory. There is a question of individual ability, as well as a question of technique and teamwork. But the deeper reason may also lie in our basketball development system and league system.
Fourth, the only way to reform basketball
In the face of the embarrassing status quo of the Chinese men's basketball team, reform is imperative. We need to start from the grassroots level and strengthen the training and selection mechanism of youth basketball, so that more outstanding seedlings can stand out. The league mechanism also needs to be further improved, not only to ensure the spectacle of the game, but also to provide more training opportunities for local players.
The construction of the national team also needs to be more professional and scientific, and more clear and systematic planning is needed from selection to training to competition.
Conclusion: The future of Chinese basketball
Although the first game of the CBA finals is only one game, it reflects many problems in Chinese basketball. In the face of these problems, we need to have a clear understanding and firm determination to carry out reforms. Only in this way can Chinese basketball get out of the trough and re-emerge on the international stage.
Of course, reform will not be achieved overnight, and it will require the joint efforts and persistence of each and every one of us. Let's work together to make suggestions for the future of Chinese basketball and look forward to that glorious moment again!
