Although the CBA came to an end, the National Games came and the players did not have a long holiday. For the Liaoning men's basketball team, after losing the championship, it is necessary to quickly adjust its mentality, and head coach Yang Ming needs time to heal, so it has been rumored that he continues to coach at the National Games, without any factual basis.
According to the reputable Liaoning reporter Xiaoma, this time the coach of the National Games was guided by Wu Naiqun, which means that Yang Ming really needs to rest, and the guidance of Guo Shiqiang, who led the team in the past, has not returned. In addition, Xiaoma also revealed the current situation of Liaoning foreign aid, three foreign aides (Fergus, Mayo and Taylor) have returned to China, and who can stay in the end depends on the specific operation of the club. Previously, local insiders in Liaoning, it is rumored that Taylor has completed the signing before going back, but the same person also said that Yang Ming's appointment as the head coach of the Preliminary Round of the National Games is accurate news, and now it is still waiting for the official announcement.
For the candidates for the Liaoning men's basketball team to play in the National Games, it is still worth saying that among the main players, in addition to Guo Allen's absence due to injury, Han Dejun, Zhang Zhenlin, Zhao Jiwei, Liu Zhixuan, and Wu Changze will participate. In addition, Zhou Qi and Gao Shiyan both returned, and both appeared at the physical test site. This lineup is quite luxurious, and the possibility of defending the title at the National Games is still very large.
However, we must also consider the opponents, the same group is Shandong, Tianjin, Hong Kong, Hunan, Jilin, Macao, the strength gap is not small, the group stage will not encounter any difficulties. But in other groups, there are guangdong, Zhejiang opponents, Zhejiang is actually fine, in the CBA semifinals, Liaoning has successfully swept the other side, but Guangdong team is still the biggest opponent. It is reported that although Yi Jianlian does not participate, but Guangdong has Shen Zijie and Liu Chuanxing to join, the internal loopholes have been completely filled, these two players have a relationship with Du Feng's guidance, there will not be too many run-in problems, so in the final of the National Games, you should still be able to see the Liao-Guangdong war.
As for the leading coach of the Guangdong men's basketball team, if Du Feng does not need too much rest time, he will definitely appear, but considering that he still has to participate in the Olympic Games next, there is also the possibility of letting Wang Huaiyu guide the team leader. No matter who it is, in fact, the overall understanding of the Guangdong men's basketball team is very deep, there will not be too many problems in the platooning, and the pressure on Liaoning to defend the title is not small.
So how about Wu Naiqun's guidance compared with Yang Ming? Younger friends, may not know much, Wu Naiqun is a member of the golden generation of the Chinese men's basketball team, in the "Dream Second Team", there are also wonderful moments of the partition buckle Alonzo Monin, the internal technology is very solid. After retiring, he coached the Zhejiang youth team, returned to Liaoning last season, assisted Yang Ming, and undertook the task of training inside the team. Although the coach's resume is not brilliant, it is not a "rookie", and Yang Ming's retirement is different from the transformation as a head coach, and the experience is still richer.
In this context, considering that both sides of Liaoning and Guangdong have a lot of lineup changes, the head coach has also changed his personal selection, if you can meet the final, it is bound to be very exciting. Finally, I would like to mention that although Guo Allen did not appear in the preliminaries, it does not mean that he will not participate after that, I believe that many friends who often pay attention should know that during the final, Guo Allen sprained his ankle, and the photos of swelling after the game also came out, but it was not a major injury, and he could recover after a few days of rest, so the possibility of returning to the team was still very large.
In summary, regarding the Liaoning team participating in the National Games, the temporary head coach candidate is Wu Naiqun's guidance, the 7 main players, Zhou Qi, Han Dejun, Zhao Jiwei, Gao Shiyan, Liu Zhixuan, Zhang Zhenlin and Wu Changze will participate in the preliminary round, Guo Allen is recuperating from injury, and there is a possibility of returning to the team in the follow-up.
