basketball hall of fame

Back in 2006, the Huaxia men’s basketball team went to Europe to train. In addition to narrowly beating Senegal by 4 points, they lost to Lithuania by 21 points and France by 19 points. When the head coach at the time was interviewed by reporters, Jonas complained about many problems. .

So, the reporter sorted out the questions and published them in the newspaper under the title "Jonas Nine Questions Men's Basketball", which caused quite a stir in the industry at that time.

Today, let’s look at Lao You’s nine questions again:

[-]. Why do men's basketball players get tired so quickly?

[-]. Why are the players in the men's basketball team always not fast enough, always making mistakes, and hesitate so much in every decision?

[-]. Why are the players in the men's basketball team always so soft and unable to handle their opponents?

[-]. Why can't some Chinese players change their bad habits?Why do some problems should be understood after the coach says it once, but sometimes they still can't listen when the coach says it dozens of times?

[-]. Why can't the level of cba be improved so far?Why is there such a big difference between the level of the national team and the club?

[-]. Why can't the players that the head coach wants come? (Among the players Jonas wanted to recruit at the beginning, some of them always refused to come for various reasons.) In other countries, the head coach of the national team ordered that other clubs release them unconditionally.

[-]. If a player's performance is not good enough, why doesn't the Chinese media reflect their performance truthfully?

If a player does not play well in Europe, the media will tell him straightforwardly that you are playing too badly.

But many Chinese players played poorly, but they were not criticized at all.

[-]. Why does the Huaxia team play without confidence as long as Yao Ming is not on the court? Can other players tell themselves that I can do it when Yao Ming is absent?

[-]. Why do Huaxia players chase after the coach to ask about every change on the field?He is the head coach, but he has to use a translator to speak his mind. If he had to teach the players how to respond every time, the situation on the field would have changed a long time ago.Why can't Huaxia players have their own judgment?

There are many problems, and the simple expression summed up is:

[-]. The physical fitness of the players is too poor.

Second, players are prone to make mistakes if they hesitate to play.

Three, lack of resistance.

[-]. Too many bad habits.

Five, the level of the league has not been improved.

[-]. The person the head coach wants cannot come.

[-]. The media will not directly point out the problem.

[-]. Excessive reliance on the core of the team.

Nine, the player's own resilience is insufficient.
