Chapter 243: Chinese Jordan

"Don't flatter me... I'm just a deputy director. It was last century when I became a coach."

"No, I don't know what your level is, Master Gong?"

Jiang Chao's words are really not flattering.

Even though the famous coach Gong Lu has not been a head coach for fourteen years.

But in fact, Jiang Chao understood a truth deeply.

If the national team is strong, the coaching staff must also be strong.

Otherwise, no matter how strong the players are, they will all be in disarray. It’s just that Jiang Chao didn’t take the step of training a head coach first. Du Feng and Xiao Li Feidao haven’t retired yet. After they retire, they will be asked to come to the Knicks coaching staff to train with the team.

But now that Director Gong has appeared, he is considered the best head coach now. In times of crisis, this kind of iron-fisted coach is still the best.

In 1996, Gong coached the 19-year-old Wang Zhizhi to make people shine in the Olympic Games, and because of this, Wang Zhizhi gave the Admiral a slap in the face and received invitations from at least 6 NCAA elite schools.

Gong Luming has always been known for his iron-fist training methods, which are particularly demanding on physical fitness. Gong Luming finally led the team to finish 8th at the 1996 Special Olympics, achieving a historic breakthrough.

In later generations, Jiang Chao also experienced the most outstanding moment of Gong. In 2014, Gong Luming once again served as the men's basketball coach, leading the Chinese men's basketball team that was at a low point to regain the 2015 Asian Championship championship.

This can be regarded as one of the few passionate moments in the post-Dayao era, but because he contributed so much, the 2016 men's basketball team found an excuse to let Director Gong voluntarily step down after losing a game.

But there are rumors in the circle that Director Gong is really dissatisfied with the Basketball Association's words.

At that time, the 2015 Asian Championship champion promised to give him a bonus of 1 million...but he didn't pay a single cent later. He also said that for the sake of honor, he must know how to be grateful. The quality of life cannot be improved, so there is no need to talk about being grateful and giving.

You have to know that Director Gong has gray hair because of the men's basketball team. It would be too unsatisfactory to not give him the bonus promised in the end, right?

But all Coach Gong can do is resign, nothing else. He is an employee within the organization and listens to the Basketball Association in everything.

Since then, fans have always regarded Gong as a legendary coach. Whenever the subsequent head coaches make mistakes or the national team becomes increasingly decadent, everyone will think of this man who was in charge of the men's basketball team during the Ragnarok era of men's basketball.

A man who has returned to his prime!

Jiang Chao originally had the idea of ​​asking one of the Knicks coaching staff to work for the national team. Later, he thought that the national team coaches still need to be stable, and the Knicks coaching staff cannot do two things at once, so he might as well cultivate local talents.

The local coaches are not bad, and the players all speak Chinese. Now Kyle Anderson can say "Hello" and "Come on" very smoothly.

Looking at the entire world of basketball and football, most of them are local head coaches. China has always been looking for famous foreign coaches with deep pockets. It can also be said that they are looking for better scapegoats.

But do you think Gong Lu’s name can help but not be moved?

Jiang Chao's flattery actually touched his heart. Although he would have voted for Jiang Chao originally, because without Yao Ming, there must be another high-level athlete to make the Chinese men's basketball team stand at the top of Asia. This

The forward organizer is good.

Moreover, in the meeting just now, Zhu Fangyu, who likes to play with mobile phones, showed everyone a video of Kyle Anderson from high school. With this level of dribbling, is he the most popular point-forward?

So he has the idea of ​​​​coaching such a talented young man who is only 18 years old. In addition, the men's basketball team can no longer afford to lose. At this time, if he takes office and wins a wave, he will be a meritorious coach!

Fans will not remember the coaches during the players' peak years, but they will remember the coaches who turned things around!

"Kyle Li is only 18 years old, right? He is indeed a young player. Anyway, I will vote for him, so don't worry."

"What about Guo Ailun and Ding Yanyuhang joining the team?" Jiang Chao wanted to let Guo Shao and China Thompson play together in the championship this year.

"There is no problem with Guo Ailun. His old uncle is now the head coach and he is old enough. It is a little difficult for Xiao Ding, but we all voted together. They value your wishes."

Speaking of this, the palace director couldn't help but look at Jiang Chao a few times. Sure enough, the rich man is his father.

In addition to the industries that Jiang Chao has recently developed in China, a big leader at today's meeting said that his daughter is a fan of "True Detective" and gave Jiang Chao various words, such as future benefits and so on. Maybe Jiang Chao will

Would you invest in a CBA-themed movie? You have all kinds of wild ideas.

Therefore, the Basketball Association really would not have a bad relationship with a big boss like Jiang Chao. What he simply said today may be more useful than the carefully written application form that his deputy director went through.

"Okay, haha, if I had known I would have added another condition, Director Gong, and you would join the coaching staff."

"Don't...it's too obvious." Director Gong is now opening a back door for Jiang Chao. Otherwise, with his status, he would not be able to tell Jiang Chao the content of the meeting.

Jiang Chao saw through it without saying anything, and Director Gong was obviously interested in the position of head coach.

Indeed it is.

Look at how high the bonus was for foreign coach Yunus. He made more money in one Olympic Games than as an NBA head coach.

To be honest, Guo Shiqiang will have to change sooner or later. Jiang Chao believes that Director Gong knows this better than him.

Last year, the men's basketball team was in a state of complete turmoil. Yao Yao was canceled for the season and could not play for the national team. Yunus was poached by the Greek men's basketball team. Before leaving, he asked the classic nine questions, nine questions that are often raised today.

1. Why do they tire so quickly?

2. Why are they always not fast enough and always hesitating? Are they always making mistakes and making mistakes?

3. Why are they always so weak and unable to bear it?

4. Why can’t Chinese players change their bad habits?

5. Why can’t the level of the CBA league be improved so far?

6. Why can’t the players I want and the players I want to inspect come?

7. If a player performs poorly, will you report it truthfully in the newspaper?

8. Why do we lose confidence when Yao Ming is away?

9. Why do players keep asking me about every style of play?

Yunus' departure not only caused turmoil in the basketball world, but also caused a wave of turmoil in the Basketball Association. Fans have questioned the operation of the Basketball Association. Anyway, the record is not good and there is no successor. It must be the Basketball Association's fault.

Jiang Chao and Gong Luming both said in the afternoon that Yunus was too smart. He knew that the men's basketball record would not be good and left decisively. You must know that he led the men's basketball national team to a record of 66 wins and 51 losses. At this time

It's better to escape unscathed than to be sprayed in the dark.

At this time, the youngest head coach in the history of the Chinese national team came.

The heroic coach Guo Shiqiang was elected as the head coach in May 2009, which also started a generation of domestic coaches taking the blame.

In the 2009 Asian Championship finals, the Chinese men's basketball team coached by Guo Shiqiang lost to the defending champion Iran 52-70 and finished second.

Jiang Chao remembers the title of Hupu last year very clearly:

This game also set four shameful records for the Chinese team in the Asian Championships: the lowest score in a single quarter (10 points in the first quarter), the lowest score in the half (25 points in the half), and the largest losing margin (18 points, previously

(16 points), losing the championship at home for the first time.

The defeat in this game can be said to be the most humiliating defeat for the Chinese men's basketball team since it participated in the Asian Championships in 1975.

Only Jiang Chao knows that this is just the beginning. Two losses to the provincial team this year is nothing. After all, it is internal fighting. The consecutive losses to South Korea and the Philippines will be the beginning of the pain.

After Australia and New Zealand joined the Asian Basketball Federation, they all lost, and the West Asian teams also lost more and won less. Until the World Cup at home in 2019, they lost the qualification for the Olympic Games for the first time in the new century!

Not to mention that Deng Huade won two Asian championships after taking over the men's basketball team at the end of this year. It was purely the last glory of these veterans and had nothing to do with him as the head coach. And later it was found out that he was James' coach and his reputation was nothing.

It's fake, it's like a liar.

There is also the most expensive and short-lived famous coach in history, Yannakis. Facts have proved that the effect of foreign famous coaches is not very good.

In the 2013 Asian Championships, the Chinese men's basketball team led by Yannakis suffered a defeat and missed the top four, recording its worst record in 38 years. He is also the shortest-lived head coach in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team.

When he left the Imperial Capital that year, Yannakis' refusal to shake hands with Hu Jiashi, deputy director of Shi Tianchao Basketball Management Center, caused heated discussion.

"Haha, okay. Anyway, we are friendly and help each other. Come on, have another bottle of red wine."

The two had a good chat, and finally had a drink together. Jiang Chao just let Director Gong know that Kyle Anderson was coming next, and it was his opportunity. The men's basketball record would rise again, or even create a new legend.

Impossible.

Kyle Anderson is at the starting small forward level at his peak, and his physical strength in the international arena is better than that of Dayao. With the men's basketball team's traditional inside players, it is not impossible to compete for the best record in history.

It means that Guo Shiqiang will become an old hapless man...

After all, with Kyle Anderson and early-rising Xiao Ding and Xiao Guo, the dark era of the national team will never be dark again.

That is to say, Chinese basketball has been in darkness for the past two years after Jiang Chao arrived... Coach Guo led the team. I feel a little embarrassed when I think about it. I will have to ask him for a meal when I go to Liaoning in the future.

"Brother, in fact, good basketball performance is definitely beneficial to the Basketball Association. It is an income for us, so relax, the Basketball Association is promoting Li Kai'er's naturalization."

"Well, I know, with a good record, they can sit comfortably in their positions."

"Yes, that's the truth."

Director Gong saw that Jiang Chao saw things so clearly and toasted him again.

This is how the Chinese education system works. If the locomotive runs well, everyone will follow it. Art students are very popular recently, and there are many top students studying art.

It is conceivable that if the basketball cake is made in the future, the domestic basketball market will get better and better in the future.

At the end of the conversation, the palace director also became a lifelong friend with Jiang Chao, and he told everything:

"By the way, your hometown team also has a vote. There is also a famous basketball player who is also the head coach of your hometown team. He also has a vote. If you want to get these two votes, you can pull them. I will take care of the rest. You know

.”

"Sujiang Nangang? OK, I'll take care of it." Jiang Chao stood up, shook hands with Director Gong, and asked the young lady to call him a taxi.

As for what you understand, Jiang Chaoyun understands that this kind of voting will either fail or succeed with a vote rate of more than 99%.

It’s a characteristic of China.

As long as a few people disagree, you will be stuck if you do this later.

The ball must be in the same direction to be kicked in, otherwise the ball will stay in place when kicked back and forth.

And Jiang Chao wants Kyle Anderson to shine in the World Championships!

After seeing off the coach, Jiang Chao called his hometown men's basketball team, the Sujiang Basketball Association.

Facing his hometown basketball association, he was absolutely sure.

The Sujiang Basketball Association agreed almost instantly.

My God, Jiang Chao is the pride of Sujiang Basketball. Even if he doesn't play, he is the spokesperson of Sujiang Basketball. Such a hometown basketball talent has to help no matter what.

Next, let’s talk about the head coach of the Jiangnan Steel Team, who is also the strongest player in the men’s basketball team of the last century with great personality, Chinese Jordan——

Hu Weidong!

Now Hu Weidong's status in Sujiang Nangang is equivalent to Popovich's status in the Spurs. He almost has everything in hand. Sujiang is also in the top 3 in the regular season and in the playoffs.

Regarding Hu Weidong and the Sujiang Basketball Association, Jiang Chao's attitude is the same: build a good relationship and help if he can.

Who doesn’t want to see the Sujiang men’s basketball team win a championship in the CBA?

So he deliberately talked about the current situation of Sujiang Nangang's foreign players. Hu Weidong talked about his team's enthusiasm and complained about the foreign players. He even said that if there were no foreign players, it would be better if only domestic players played.

Not to mention, the current Sujiang has Yi Li, Hu Xuefeng and Tang Zhengdong. The domestic players are not bad. If they really play in the All-China Class, Sujiang will not necessarily lose to Bayi and Guangdong.

Nanjing Iron & Steel's foreign aid has never been good, mainly due to lack of money.

Jiang Chao tried his best to recall that at this stage of the year, Hyde should be temporarily injured and Collins would fill in.

He was questioned when he first came up. He lacked physical fitness, strength, and lacked systematic training.

Averaged 21 points and 5 assists per game but still can't get a new contract! He has not been renewed for a long time.

Hu Weidong also complained with Jiang Chao that a good foreign player plays a decisive role in the team's victory. Last season, the Nangang team lost two consecutive games in the beginning. The important reason was that the foreign players were not as good as others.

Although Collins' condition has improved, he is not suitable for the Nangang team's fast and quick play requirements. More importantly, the Nangang team needs a foreign player with stronger organizational and scoring capabilities, otherwise the goal of "guaranteing the fourth place" will be lost.

It can only be a flower in the moon mirror in the water.

The last round of the playoffs was expected. The playoffs are the stage for foreign players. If foreign players are not good, they are not good.

After listening to Hu Weidong's complaints, Jiang Chao also sincerely gave advice to his hometown basketball.

After all, after this year, Sujiang Nangang will no longer be the second in line, because its status as the second in line cannot be maintained.

"Let me tell you the truth, brother, the Nangang team, which is in the process of replacing the old with the new, needs good foreign aid to help the team tide over the difficulties, and also needs to train the team's young local players.

Otherwise, once veterans such as Hu Xuefeng retire and young players cannot step up, it will be too late by then."

"Yeah, brother, do you have any suggestions? You have been playing in the NBA, do you have any suitable foreign aid? I think your opinions have always been good."

The corners of Jiang Chao's mouth raised slightly.

Got hooked.

Just waiting for you to ask this question.

Wouldn't this be an opportunity for him to vote obediently?

"Let's do this, brother, next year I will send you a player for you to practice, and then I suggest you sign another one. With these two foreign players, you can try to compete for the championship."

"It's impossible, the Sharks of the Magic City have Marbury."

"What are you afraid of...these two people can restrain Marbury to death!"
