Xu Changsuo succeeded Gong Xiaobin in charge of Shandong Shuaiyin, the same as the "Five Tiger Generals" famous in the world, "Runaway King" in the CBA has been guiding the country for eighteen years, while Xu Changsuo has been quietly cultivating in the youth team, twenty years are fleeting.
In 1995, the CBA League was founded, when the Shandong men's basketball team had neither sponsorship nor foreign aid, but after a few years, coach Ye Peng's people played tigers and tigers, so Gong Xiaobin, Ju Weisong, Xu Changsuo, Yang Wenhai, and Ji Minshang were collectively known as the "five tiger generals" of the Shandong men's basketball team. Xu Changsuo averaged 13.3 points, 2.7 rebounds and 1.5 steals per game in the first year of the CBA, and shot 29 points in the big battle with Bayi, which can be regarded as his masterpiece.
Xu Changsuo and Yang Wenhai were the first to retire among the Five Tigers, and the 27-year-old Xu Changsuo left the stadium after playing the 98-99 season to coach in the youth team and start his youth coaching career. In 2002, Xu Changsuo joined the newly established Shandong Daben Men's Basketball Team, serving as an assistant coach to Song Tao, the first player selected by the NBA but later retired due to injury, which was his earliest adult team coaching experience.
Shandong Daben's home field is Xu Changsuo's hometown of Yantai.
Xu Changsuo, who was born in Laizhou City, Yantai, returned to his hometown, shandong Daben won the second place in the national first division in the second division league that year, and after changing from Shouguang Yong'an to Daben men's basketball team, the home stadium was set in Yantai City Gymnasium in Zhifu District. There were many players who later became quite famous in that team, such as Lu Xiaoming, who won the assist king in the CBA, Yantai Laiyangren; Liu Tie, the head coach of the Tianjin men's basketball team last season; Liu Zhen, the head coach of the three-man men's basketball team at the Tokyo Olympic Games; Luan Mingjie, the coach of the Shandong team who won the three-person women's basketball u19 championship at this year's National Games; and Lu Yan, the famous player of Jilin, and so on.
This team is really good, at one point it was very much into the first division (CBA), they and Jiang Xingquan's guidance of Xinjiang Guanghui met in the Chong A series, and the result was unfortunately eliminated by the powerful Xinjiang 3-0. On July 12, 2002, at the Yantai Gymnasium, the first northwest CBA team was born, and Xu Changsuo must not have thought that the first CBA home he coached four years later was lost to Xinjiang.
In 2003, Gong Xiaobin retired and served as the head coach of the Shandong men's basketball team, at the same time, Xu Changsuo also officially took office in the youth team. In the National Youth Men's Basketball League that year, the Shandong Youth Team reached the final all the way, and finally lost to the Guangdong Hongyuan Youth Team by 6 points, of course, that Guangdong team had Yi Jianlian.
Xu Changsuo became Xu Guidance, and Shandong Youth Training began a new journey, when the main players of the youth team Wei Zhi, Hou Bing, Sun Jie, Zhao Yonggang, Wang Gang and other performances were very good, because of this, Ju Weisong, Ji Minshang and other veteran players have retired from 2004, leaving the position to young people. Xu's mentor's fellow countryman, Sun Jie of Laiyang, Yantai, became the first to be promoted from his command to the first team.
2005 was the year of Xu's harvest, and Shandong won the youth league championship.
The National Youth Men's Basketball League, the final stage began in Sanmenxia, Henan, Shandong's last game to meet Bayi, 73-69 narrow victory, 14-13 wins, revenge Bayi at the same time to accept the current champion. It was Shandong's first championship in nearly 20 years, and it is said that the last time the five tigers would be five small tigers. At that time, the main player of the youth team was Zhang Zhaoxu, who averaged 15 points per game, but it was a pity that the Yantai boys did not join Shandong after returning from the United States, but went to Shanghai.
At this time, he began to consider a new career plan, and half a year later, Henan Renhe men's basketball team sent an invitation. In April 2006, Xu Changsuo became the head coach of the CBA team for the first time in his career, and in September of the same year, Henan Renhe and Shanxi Yujin were united, and the team moved to Taiyuan, and he also became the first head coach in the history of the Shanxi Zhongyu Raptors.
However, he soon felt the cruelty of the professional arena, and in the 06-07 season, after half a year of preparation and team relocation, Xu guided the road to coaching the coach, but Shanxi lacked major generals from the beginning. At that time, the CBA foreign aid used the draft system, And Shanxi used the champion to select the former Fujian foreign aid Tyrone Washington, then in the second round, he selected Zhejiang's Gaode Sam Gaode, and finally in the third round, he picked rashid Bird, who expected Thatron not to want to play for Shanxi, and ran under the pretext.
In desperation, Xu's coaching career can only start with a single foreign aid, although Gaode opened the game with 41 points, Shanxi is still difficult to win. Rashid dragged until the 6th round against Shandong to complete the debut, and he is average ability, but also a big temper, a few games down not only did not help Shanxi, but did not participate in training, lazy sleep and other small problems, and finally made a bad incident of beating the translator, in the end, he only played 15 games and was cut.
What is even more surprising is that Xu Zhi only coached for 11 games before being demoted by Ming Sheng, and it was also from him that Shanxi had a tradition of letting the coach carry the pot for more than ten years. Before leaving, he won the first CBA victory of his coaching career, against Yunnan Honghe, the double foreign aid only scored 16 points, while Wang Lei and Li Dongliang scored 20+, 4 local players scored in double figures, and difficult to win the first victory after coming to Shanxi, Xu Zhi withdrew with 1 win and 10 losses.
After the first coaching failure, Xu Changsuo guided him back to Shandong.
After a season as a coach assistant in the first team, in 2008, due to coach Yang Wenhai joining Shanxi, Xu returned to the familiar youth training position. It was this year that 15-year-old Ding Yanyu entered the Shandong youth team and met with his mentor, and many years later, Xiaoding recalled the bits and pieces in the youth team, and his first lunch in Quancheng was the Jinan meat that Xu instructed.
Not only Ding Yanyuhang, Tao Hanlin, Sui Ran, Li Jingyu, Wang Ruheng, Zhang Hui and others stepped into the CBA one by one under the tutelage of Xu's guidance. At the beginning of 2014, Xu Changsuo became the head coach of the U18 National Youth Training Team, and his assistant coach at that time was Liu Weiwei' guidance, and those players were including Zhou Qi, Zhao Rui, Sun Minghui, Zou Yuchen, and Shandong players Zhang Hui, Zhu Rongzhen, Jiao Hailong, etc. The famous 96-level national youth team was not coached by him at the end of the expedition.
Since 2013, the National Games set up a men's basketball youth group, that tournament Shandong reached the final four, four years later, before the start of the Tianjin National Games, the Shandong youth team led by Xu won the National Youth Men's Basketball Championship, and even in the absence of Chen Peidong and Zhu Rongzhen's promotion to the National Olympic Games. It's just a pity that Shandong, which has been soaring all the way at the National Games, finally lost to Guangdong in the final and lost the championship.
This has to mention the strange format of that year, the group stage is only ranked second and does not eliminate the team, and Shandong, which has won three consecutive games in the group stage, and Guangdong, which has lost three consecutive games, have magically met in the final. Zhu Rongzhen was confused by Shen Zijie in this game, three times a year, Shandong won twice, but fell on the most important one, which is probably the biggest regret of Xu's youth training career.
After the National Games, Xu guided him to fight in Anhui with his young guards.
Under the guidance of Gong Luming, Anhui Wenyi reached a cooperation with the Shandong Sports Bureau, and the youth team as a whole settled in Anhui Wenyi, while Xu Was hired as the main coach by the guidance of the Laoxianggong. After ten years, leaving Shandong again, or coaching professional teams, although in the NBL, but Xu And his beloved apprentice Chen Peidong did not stay long, and they left in 2019.
His next stop was back in Shandong, but only in Qingdao. As early as 2014, Xu Changsuo's mentor Ye Peng became a consultant for the Qingdao men's basketball team, under his influence, Gong Xiaobin left Shandong to take charge of Qingdao, within a few years, Qingdao began to prepare to establish a complete youth training system, and by 2019, with the strong support of Guoxin, Qingdao invited the youth training coach Xu to guide the youth team.
Not long after, Qingdao won 7 games in the second stage of the u21 league in Zhangjiajie, and the youth team jointly built by Serbian coaches and Xu coaches quickly made a name. A year later, Hong Zhonghua, Gao Shiao, Zhang Yang, and Liu Jiaxin were promoted to the Qingdao first team at the same time. In June this year, Qingdao won the national u17 league championship, which was the first national championship in the history of Qingdao.
The reason why Xu Coach can become a famous coach in youth training is by no means without reason, just like when he invited Xiaoding to dinner, he was strict with the players but took care of them. Qingdao u17 champion Yang Hexon, born in 2005, a high-quality center, is Xu coach after long-term observation, personally went to his home to talk for 3 days before impressing his parents, and finally successfully signed, many players in the Qingdao echelon are he ran down from all over the country.
If it were not for the sudden changes in the Shandong men's basketball team, Qingdao Guoxin would probably never give up the youth training coach.
Although the incident of Coach Gong Xiaobin's drunk driving has not triggered strong public opinion, after all, it has already happened, and after the high-speed return, it is only a matter of time before he leaves class. In order to create a new Shandong team, the management snatched Xu's guidance from Qingdao and invited Gong Luming to guide the CBA "rookie coach".
It has been exactly 15 years since the last time he became the CBA manager, and Xu Has been thriving in the field of youth training, but this heart that wants to become a manager and wants to prove himself is always surging forward. However, the CBA coach is different from the youth team, the youth coach in the past league such as Coach Gao Shumin, has not been able to succeed in the league, and the brilliance of Liu Weiwei's guidance proves another thing, the head coach of the youth training coach to transform the professional team often has to have a group of hard-working, dare to fight.
From this point of view alone, Xu's guidance is indeed very in line with the requirements, Tao Hanlin, Ding Yanyuhang, Wang Ruheng, Chen Peidong, Jiao Hailong, Li Jingyu, no matter what age players, almost all played under him in their youth. Especially Ding Yanyuhang, who is in the center of public opinion of the Shandong men's basketball team, has always had a good relationship with him, and Gong Guidance is Xiaoding's Bole in the national team.
In addition to the advantages, the shortcomings of Xu's coaching are naturally obvious, and he lacks enough CBA manager experience. From his retirement in 1999 to the present 22 years, he has only been an assistant coach in Shandong Daben, Shandong Men's Basketball Team, Men's Basketball Red Team for two or three years, coached 11 games in Shanxi Zhongyu, spent a period of time in Anhui Wenyi, and the remaining twenty years, from Shandong to Qingdao, from the National Youth League to the National Games, he was active in the youth team. When he picks up the CBA whip, you can't even judge what prescription he'll prescribe for the symptoms.
Fifteen years later, it was the challenge of the professional arena, this time, which disciple came to break the spell for Xu Guidance?
