In China, basketball is not only a sport loved by the people, but also a symbol of culture and spirituality. When we look back on the journey of the Chinese men's basketball team on the international stage in the past few decades, we can't help but think: how will the glorious road to the future be paved? I think that when the Beijing Olympics happened, the Chinese men's basketball team that entered the group of death could play with the dream team, Chen Jianghua shook the classic picture of Kobe Bryant, and was able to suppress the Spanish team all over the court, beat Nowitzki's German team, and enter the quarterfinals, many fans thought that it was the starting point of the Chinese men's basketball team, but who knew that it was the end. So, where is the way out for the Chinese men's basketball team now? What needs to change?
Let's be clear, the challenge of the Chinese men's basketball team does not come from the players themselves, the players are only the most basic players in the game. In fact, many of our players also have extraordinary talent and potential, they sweat and tears in training, and have made indelible contributions to the prosperity and development of Chinese basketball. However, the achievement in the international arena is Wang Xiaoer's New Year, which shows that the crux of the problem lies in the entire basketball ecosystem.
Over the past few decades, China's basketball system has been plagued by many shortcomings. Due to the eagerness of all parties involved in basketball, the training mechanism of youth basketball is not perfect, and many talented young players have not received the attention and training they deserve. At the senior team level, we also urgently need to establish an efficient tactical system and game strategy, not daring to develop young players for the sake of results, endless on-field and off-field recruitment, referee problems over the years, etc. It is these problems that make the performance of the Chinese men's basketball team in the international arena often unsatisfactory.
The future of the Chinese men's basketball team requires us to carry out profound changes and innovations in the following key areas:
First and foremost, we must reform the youth basketball development system. We need to provide more training resources and opportunities for young talents, so that their talents can be fully displayed at a younger age, no longer require national team results within five years, and re-use young players with development value to participate in international competitions and gain experience. At the same time, the introduction of the wisdom and experience of top international coaches will bring cutting-edge training concepts and methods to accelerate the growth of young players.
Of course, for senior teams, we need to reinvent our tactical system and game strategy. We need experienced coaches who can tailor our tactics to the characteristics and weaknesses of our opponents and make the most of our players. In the game, the spirit of teamwork should be placed in the supreme position, rather than individual heroism alone, the focus is on China's sophistication, the Basketball Association in these five years, hire excellent foreign coaches, give them full rights, do not interfere with the selection and employment of foreign coaches tactical arrangements, so that all national team players must be meritocracy.
As the administrator, the Chinese Basketball Association, as well as the majority of fans, self-media, and clubs, need to change their attitudes and concepts towards basketball. Basketball is not only a competitive sport, it is also a carrier of culture and a symbol of spirit. We need to get more people involved in basketball, make basketball a part of our lives, and become a link that connects people's hearts and stimulates passion, especially for clubs to manage their fans, and we media and fans must also support rationally and not do anything to separate the opponent's fans.

The most important thing affecting the development of the Chinese men's basketball team is the referee, which is a cliché, the key to the victory or defeat of the players in the basketball game, not the referee, the referee just serves the game, but now there are many key games, and the referee has performed brilliantly, even overshadowing the players, and is the most beautiful boy in the court. The referee's mistakes, misjudgments, and biases will not only cause conflicts between the two sides, but also provide fans outside the stadium with various excuses for self-media to attack each other. What we need is a high-level game, and we don't need referees and fans to be the protagonists, when the referees can put aside all human feelings and enforce the law fairly and justly, then when will it be the time for the Chinese men's basketball team to recover.
The referee who watched the play
To sum up, the future of the Chinese men's basketball team lies in continuous reform and innovation. It is only through a deep transformation of our basketball system that our players will be able to shine brighter on the international stage. Only by constantly innovating our tactics and strategies will our team be able to achieve great results in the future. And the realization of all this is inseparable from the joint efforts and support of each and every one of us.
The future of the Chinese men's basketball team is promising, but we must take action to write this chapter together.
