Chapter 578 Disappointing Xinjian Team
To say that Li Jianhui attaches great importance to the Xinjian basketball team, especially compared to the e-buy football team, the Xinjian basketball team is definitely a son-like existence.

Li Jianhui personally attended the Yan Jian basketball team's main stadium in Sham Shui Po when the Xin Jian Basketball Center was put into use.

When the e-buy football team's main stadium in Kwun Tong, the e-buy sports center, was put into use, Li Jianhui did not participate.

Moreover, in the past two seasons, Li Jianhui has watched dozens of games of the Xinjian basketball team, but only a few games of the Tesco football team.

But the Xinjian basketball team, which is so important, did not satisfy Li Jianhui and even the senior management of the Xinjian Department.

Last year was a bit better, at least it entered the semi-finals of the North District, but this year is not good, not only did not improve, but stopped in the quarter-finals of the North District, it is really worthy of the name Xinjian.

On the contrary, the e-buy football team, which is not valued much, has sprung up this season. It has already entered the semi-finals. You must know that PFLA has no distinction between the north and the south. It is based on the points system. The top 16 will be formed, and the winners will enter the top eight, followed by the top four, and finally the semi-finals and finals.

Correspondingly, the Kowloon basketball team has entered the Southern District finals for two consecutive years, which makes the senior officials of the Xinjian Department feel ashamed.

When the first game of the Southern District Finals was held in the Kowloon Sports Center, Li Jianhui, Chen Yulian, Zhou Bingqian, Cao Shuyu, Chen Xueqin and other high-level officials came to the Xinjian Basketball Center and held a team development meeting. The basketball club management coaching staff and The two core members Du Jianhong and Su Jialiang attended.

"Tonight, our Kowloon team from the same city is fighting for the finals, while our Xinjian team has gone home to fish.

Is it because the salary of our team is lower than that of the Kowloon team, or is our hardware facility worse than that of the Kowloon team?

Why does this happen, you all can tell me, if it is because of funding problems, it can be increased, if the hardware facilities are not in place, it can be rebuilt. "

In the two years since the club was established, this is the first time they have seen Li Jianhui get angry, and they know very well that if they don't say one, two, three today, what awaits them will be kicked out, even if the two core players are the same.

The Xinjian Department has never said that it is an iron rice bowl. Even if you are the headquarters of the group, some people will be expelled, let alone them.

As for the salary and hardware facilities mentioned by Li Jianhui, the Xinjian team is much higher than the Kowloon team. In terms of player salary, the Xinjian team ranks third in the ABA League, second only to the Fuji and Samsung teams.

In the case that the main players were not seriously injured, it turned out that they didn't even make it to the semifinals of the division. This is really unreasonable.

As the head coach of the team, Jerry is very clear that he has to bear a large part of the responsibility for the team's unsatisfactory performance.

As an assistant coach of the Clippers, he discovered through two seasons that his coaching thinking and tactical system are not suitable for the ABA.

He overestimated the role of the core players too much, or Du Jianhong and Su Jialiang, the internal and external core abilities, could not support the team's victory. They could not do the Kareem and Johnson of the Xinjian team.

And the biggest difference between the ABA and the NBA is that the ABA pays more attention to teamwork and mid-range and long-range shooting, while the NBA pays more attention to core players' singles and offense under the blue.

The reason why they lost in the quarter-finals this time was that they were shot to death by mid-range and long-range shots.

The Xinjian team's defense on the front line has a lot of flaws. Because they pay more attention to the offense under the blue, when the blue is blocked, there is no pitcher to stand up, and the loss is not wronged at all.

In fact, when the Xinjian team stopped in the quarter-finals of the division, Jerry knew that his coaching career in the Xinjian team was over.

The biggest difference between the ABA and the NBA is that the ABA is an alliance composed of multiple countries and regions with multiple cultures. The performance of these teams has long surpassed the reputation of the league itself, and it represents the city, region and even the country where the team is located.

The Xinjian team's home court is Xiangjiang, an important financial center in Asia, and behind it stands the Xinjian Department, one of the top business forces in Asia. Since its establishment, the team has represented a powerful ABA team with only one goal. It is the champion.

If the team fails to show the strength that matches its identity, then there will inevitably be a group of people responsible for it, and the head coach will bear the brunt.

Because of his self-knowledge, Jerry is also quite a bachelor. After summarizing the reasons for the team's loss and the current shortcomings, he immediately resigned from the club.

Li Jianhui also found that Jerry was a little uncomfortable, so he didn't keep him. After thanking the other party for his contribution to Xinjian's team in the past two years, he asked the club to introduce a suitable head coach for the team in the near future.

In terms of players, Li Jianhui asked not only to trade some players who are not suitable for the team, but also asked Du Jianhong to strengthen his mid-range shooting this summer. Su Jialiang also needs to strengthen his shooting, especially the mid-range and long-range and three-point ability.

A defender with only assists but no strong scoring ability cannot become a top defender, even if he has won the assist king for two consecutive leagues.

At the same time, an order was given to the club to introduce Lu Jinqin, a member of the northern national team as much as possible. This man gave Li Jianhui a good impression in the New Delhi Games at the end of last year, especially his mid-range and long-distance shooting ability. needed.

"Li Sheng, I'm afraid there will be some difficulties in this regard, and I'm afraid they won't allow the national team players to play for clubs outside the mainland.

Moreover, Lu Jinqin is only [-] meters tall. If he comes to serve as a shooting guard and forms our backcourt with Su Jialiang, who is only [-] meters tall, this will make our backcourt height less dominant. "

"In the north, I will communicate. As for the height, it is not a big problem. You must know that at the Asian Games at the end of last year, Lu Jinqin played as a shooting guard. Those who played against him on defense did not take advantage. That includes several ABA All-Star shooting guards."

Seeing Li Jianhui's insistence, they can only focus on the plan of introducing Lu Jinqin. In this case, they need to introduce a small forward with a certain shooting ability and a relatively strong defense. power forward.

In terms of substitutes, because from the perspective of the Asian Games, Lu Jinqin is not outstanding in organizational ability, so it is necessary to introduce a point guard with a strong organizational ability and a height of about [-] meters, let him be the team's super sixth man The presence.

In this way, Su Jialiang can play shooting guard when attacking, and continue to defend the opponent's point guard when defending, so as to avoid being at a disadvantage when defending.

At the same time, arrangements have been made on the front line and the inside line. I plan to talk to the current team's main power forward. If the opponent is willing to play as a substitute, then I will not choose to trade. If not, I will send him away this offseason.

In short, this summer, the Xinjian team will undergo a big change. Except for Du Jianhong and Su Jialiang, as long as there is a suitable bargaining chip, there is no player who cannot be traded.
