The new captain of the Chinese men's basketball team, a farce or a prelude to reform?
"The new captain of the Chinese men's basketball team turned out to be a 'champion insulator'?"
This news exploded like a bomb in the fan circle. Hu Mingxuan, the Guangdong Hongyuan player who had just cut off his iconic long hair, was labeled "the most controversial captain in history" before he could prove himself on the international stage.
1. One stone stirs up a thousand waves: new captain, new farce?
On September 18, the Chinese men's basketball team will face off against Spain powerhouse Juventute at home. This game was a warm-up match before the Asian Games, and it was also Hu Mingxuan's debut after serving as captain. Fans seem to care more about the new captain's "championship resume" than the game itself.
Supporters brought up the example of "Yao Ming was also the captain of the white wolf with empty gloves back then" in an attempt to calm the doubts. Opponents mercilessly pointed out that Hu Mingxuan's performance in the national team was lackluster, and it had nothing to do with the word "champion". For a while, the Internet was full of ridicule, questioning, and justification, as if a farce was being staged.
2. The tip of the iceberg: the plight and struggle of the Chinese men's basketball team
Hu Mingxuan's "captain's battle" is just a microcosm of the current situation of the Chinese men's basketball team. In recent years, the Chinese men's basketball team has been losing ground in the international arena and has long lost the style of the Asian hegemon of the past. The fans' disappointment with the results and confusion about the future eventually turned into doubts about the new captain.
"Institutional problems", "backward youth training system", "low league level"
…… These age-old issues have been raised again and again, but they have never been fundamentally resolved. Chinese basketball, like a giant ship that has lost its way, is struggling in the wind and rain.
3. Dawn in the Mist: New Captain, New Hope?
Despite the doubts, we cannot ignore Hu Mingxuan's own efforts and potential. This summer, he has gained a lot of weight, and he is sweating on the training ground. The new coaching staff chose him as captain, perhaps because of his hard work and desire to win.
Strength is the last word. Facing Juventute, who have multiple La Liga titles and Europa Basketball League titles, Hu Mingxuan and the Chinese men's basketball team will face a tough test. This game is not only a comprehensive test of the new captain, new lineup, and new tactics, but also a key battle for whether the Chinese men's basketball team can get out of the trough.
"Just watch a joke, anyway, CCTV 5 broadcasts live and doesn't cost money."
Some fans have already started laughing at themselves. But more people are still looking forward to the surprises that the Chinese men's basketball team can bring and see the new captain lead the team out of the predicament.
The Chinese men's basketball team needs not only a victory, but also a thorough reform and reshaping.
This road is destined to be full of thorns, but we believe that as long as we stick to our dreams and never give up, Chinese basketball will eventually usher in its own moment of glory!
Do you think Hu Mingxuan is qualified for the position of captain of the Chinese men's basketball team? What is the future of Chinese basketball? Feel free to leave your thoughts in the comment area!
