Guo Shiqiang, this name is well-known in the basketball world.
Thinking about back then, his youthful appearance, standing on the basketball court, was like a rising star, illuminating the hearts of countless fans.
15 years ago, when Li Yuanwei, the head of the Basketball Association, had reservations about Guo Shiqiang's coaching ability, who would have expected that this young coach would once again stand in the position of head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team one day in the future and shoulder the heavy responsibility of leading the team to glory? This is not only a story of basketball coaching, but also a legend of dreams and perseverance.
At that time, Guo Shiqiang was like a fledgling young hero, with infinite love for basketball and a desire for victory.
In his eyes, there is a purity for basketball and a dedication to victory.
Although the outside world has mixed reviews of him, he has never given up on his dream.
2009 was a key turning point for the Chinese men's basketball team.
And for Guo Shiqiang, it is even more of a test.
At that time, Li Yuanwei, as the director of the basketball center, had a very strict evaluation of Guo Shiqiang.
He said bluntly: "If I am here, I will continue to invite foreign teachers, and I will not let Guo Shiqiang take the position easily."
As soon as these words came out, it was simply a "bolt from the blue" in the basketball world, which made Guo Shiqiang's basketball road instantly bumpy.
But Guo Shiqiang was not crushed by this sudden blow.
Instead, he sees it as an opportunity to grow.
Just like the protagonists in those inspirational movies, in the face of difficulties, he chose to rise to the occasion.
The wheel of fate always turns inadvertently.
After the 2008 Olympic Games, Li Yuanwei stepped down, and Xin Lancheng took over the handsome seal of the basketball center.
The new head has a different view of Guo Shiqiang.
With the support of Xin Lancheng, Guo Shiqiang got the opportunity to take the position.
The disappointment of the fans, the doubts of the media, the frustration of the players, all the negative emotions poured into Guo Shiqiang like a tide.
His coaching ability has been pushed to the forefront.
Many believe that Guo Shiqiang's inability to effectively mobilize and lead the team at critical moments was the main reason for the fiasco.
The time has come to 2024, and Guo Shiqiang will once again serve as the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team.
This time, he apparently learned the lessons of the past and began his "path of authority rebuilding."
He knows that in order to lead the team to success, it is necessary to have iron discipline and high standards.
He began to use stricter management and higher requirements to shape a more disciplined and fighting team.
He is no longer the fledgling young coach, but a more mature coach who has gone through the storms.
He uses his experience and wisdom to coach the players on how to get the best out of the game.
He knows that to win the game, it takes teamwork and everyone to give it their all.
He told the players with his actions: "Here, there is no me, only us!"
Although Guo Shiqiang has regained the position of head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, the doubts of the outside world are like a never-ending "sound mixer", buzzing.
Some of these voices are as cheerful as "Little Apple", believing that Guo Shiqiang's experience and growth are the "secret weapon" of his success; Others are as unsettling as "apprehensive", fearing that his coaching style and strategy could capsize in the "storm" of modern basketball.
Guo Shiqiang has served as the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team twice, which can't help but remind people of the "repeater" that people love and hate.
But Guo Shiqiang doesn't want to be the person who only repeats the past, he wants to become an "innovator", learn from failures, and find opportunities in challenges.
