As the best head coach last season, Guangdong head coach Du Feng is now the hottest coach in the CBA. After Li Nan's fiasco in the World Cup, Du Feng took over the position of head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team at a time of crisis, which reflected the responsibility of the young marshal. But in fact, the Guangdong team is not only a high-quality young coach Du Feng, the current head coach of the Guangdong youth team Qu Shaobin is also a very good young coach.
Born in 1986, Qu Shaobin played for Guangdong team in his career and belongs to the same group of players as Yi Jianlian. At that time, the Guangdong team once vigorously cultivated this defender, treating him as Li Qun's successor. At that time, Chen Haitao, the former general manager of the Guangdong team and the current owner of the Guangdong team, even said: "If he practices well, he definitely hopes to become the best defender in the Chinese basketball world in the future." Unfortunately, because the injury was too serious and the delay of quacks, Qu Shaobin regretted retiring due to injury in 2009, ended his career early, and changed to coaching.
After retiring from the military, Qu Shaobin first served as the assistant coach of Guangdong Youth Team coach Wang Huaiyu, and then became the assistant of Guangdong team coaches Li Chunjiang, Du Feng and Yunus. A few years ago, he became the head coach of the Guangdong youth team. Although the coaching position has been changing, what has not changed is that Qu Shaobin has been improving and has been contributing to the Guangdong team.
In the past few years of coaching the Guangdong youth team, Qu Shaobin has trained many talented players for the team and sent fresh blood to the Guangdong team. Hu Mingxuan, who has begun to take on heavy responsibilities in the Guangdong team, and Xu Jie and Du Runwang, who are important rotations of the Guangdong team, are all players trained by Qu Shaobin. Before Xu Jie and Du Runwang entered the Guangdong first team, Qu Shaobin said in an interview with the media that these two people can focus on cultivation. In addition, Liu Chuanxing, the "Little Yao Ming" who is also cultivated in the Qingdao team, is also another outstanding player cultivated by Qu Shaobin, but he was sent to Qingdao by the Guangdong team in the summer of 2018 and became a chip for the transaction to get Su Wei.
Strictly speaking, Qu Shaobin's fame is not very big, except for many Guangdong fans and fans who have followed the CBA for a long time, there are not many people who know or even heard of Qu Shaobin. But this does not affect Qu Shaobin's outstanding coaching achievements and achievements. In recent years, Qu Shaobin has no longer habitually sat in the coaching staff of the Guangdong team as in the past, but in the past few years when the Guangdong youth team has been immersed in work, Qu Shaobin has brought great help to the team. The Guangdong team, which has significantly declined in the results of youth training training, has also been supplemented by Hu Mingxuan and many others in recent years, and the Guangdong team, which was once questioned about the age of the player structure, has also successfully found a new successor with the emergence of rising stars.
In the replacement of the old and new in the Guangdong team, head coach Du Feng has made great contributions, last season and this season, he has been willing to give young players a lot of opportunities, and for young players to the heart, which has made these young players make great progress. But behind the scenes, it was Qu Shaobin who laid the foundation for Du Feng in advance, so that he had the rapid start of the youth team players after the previous team, laying the foundation for Hu Mingxuan to become a national player, and also the key for Xu Jie and Du Runwang to enter the national youth team, and it was also the behind-the-scenes hero of the Guangdong team to win the championship again. Among the local coaches, Qu Shaobin is definitely one of the best young coaches, and Yao Ming, the chairman of the Basketball Association, should probably promote him and let him enter the national echelon to coach.
Since he is only 5 years younger than Du Feng, it may be difficult for Qu Shaobin to have the opportunity to succeed Du Feng as the new head coach of the Guangdong team in the future. But whether it is as Du Feng's right-hand man in the future, or joining other CBA teams, Qu Shaobin has an absolute ability to show his talent, because he has already proved himself over the years. And if he wants to return to the CBA in the future, then he will definitely not lack opportunities, whether in Guangdong or other teams.
