Compared with the 4:0 sweep of the Xinjiang men's basketball team in the finals, most fans may prefer to watch the 5-game battle with the Guangdong men's basketball team. After all, in the case of Zhao Rui and Zhu Xuhang's injuries, and other players have no experience in the finals, the Liaoning men's basketball team completely shows the suppression of experience and strength.
After the loss in the finals, the Xinjiang men's basketball team also made a painful decision, and the team's goal for next season is still the championship, but in order to strengthen and improve the strength of the team, the team has made major decisions in many aspects. The first is to dismiss Qiu Biao, the best coach of last season, as for the real reason has not been announced to the outside world, perhaps it will be rumored by the outside world due to personal family reasons, otherwise it will not be fired from the perspective of results, and it will also make Qiu Biao the first head coach in history to be fired after winning the best coach.
After parting ways with Qiu Biao, there were also scandals about the selection of the new coach, such as Du Feng and Li Qiuping, and finally the Xinjiang men's basketball team hired Liu Wei, the former core point guard of the Chinese men's basketball team. Liu Wei has been a coach since retiring, and has been working as an assistant coach in the Shanghai men's basketball team and the Chinese men's basketball team for several seasons, and it is worth noting that he has never served as a head coach. After being banned last season because of Li Chunjiang's match-fixing incident, Liu Wei unfortunately lost in the competition with Liu Peng and missed the Shanghai men's basketball coach.
Previously, after the Chinese men's basketball team fired Djordjevic, Guo Shiqiang became the acting coach of the team again, and all the members of the coaching staff were replaced, and Liu Wei, who had been an assistant coach before, was not included, that is, he became completely unemployed. Finally, after some choices, the Xinjiang men's basketball team decided to join forces with Liu Wei again, which is also the latter's return to the Xinjiang men's basketball team with a new identity after many years.
As a point guard, Liu Wei must have a high ball IQ and IQ, otherwise he would not be able to be called the brain of the team, but to the surprise of fans, in the first interview after becoming the coach, he directly pointed the finger at the Liaoning men's basketball team. In an interview with local media, Liu Wei said that the overall strength of the team is very good, but it should move closer to the international arena, not only in the domestic arena, but also inject more international advanced playing methods into the team, so that the players can get out of the comfort zone of "harming others".
Although it is only a few short sentences, the meaning between the lines is nothing more than that you can't just be horizontal, and you should play with momentum and strength in the international arena, so the words are nothing more than the previous fiasco of the Liaoning men's basketball team in the AFC Champions League. It's just that the Liaoning team sent young and substitute players, and the purpose of participating in the game is just to train the players, although it may seem that there is no national honor, but it is definitely not as timid as Liu Wei said, but the overall strength gap is too big, Liu Wei said obviously has something to say.
I have to say that Liu Wei's emotional intelligence is really a bit low, and it is hard to imagine what amazing words Liu Wei as the coach can say in the post-match interview after the league starts. Of course, as the defending champion, the Liaoning men's basketball team will definitely be targeted on and off the court, but this is what competitive sports should look like. It's just that for the defeated Xinjiang men's basketball team and the new coach Liu Wei, it is best to talk less before the results are released, and competitive sports should be expressed with strength and results. As a rookie coach, Liu Wei has drawn such a big pie when he takes office, I don't know if he can successfully realize this sentence in the future?
