With two wins and three losses in the group stage of the performance of the early end of the Olympic journey; August 4, China's women's basketball team in the quarter-finals to 70-77 against the Serbian team, regret to bid farewell to the Tokyo Olympics. Due to our "three big ball" men's team group is not in the main round of the Olympic Games, our delegation soccer, volleyball, basketball project team are not in the Tokyo Olympic Games medals.
In the face of the current situation of poor performance of the "three major sports", we need to analyze and summarize the internal causes of backwardness from a deep level. Naturalization may be a direction to make up for the lack of talent, but the real future is "the integration of sports and education". Although the relevant departments have begun to take substantive action, but to see the results will take time to witness.

: Can the women's soccer team get out of the shadow of 14 marquee players in 16 years?
If "Lang Ping curtain call" is sentimental, China's women's basketball team did not have the chance to be among the semi-finals of the sobering, then our women's soccer team in the current Olympic Games to give the country more is sad. And 17 years ago in Athens Olympic Games "0 to 8", Tokyo Olympic Games "2 to 8" is also jaw-dropping.
On April 13 at the Suzhou Olympic Sports Center, China's women's soccer team caught the last train to the Tokyo Olympics after the 2nd round of the Olympic Preliminary Round playoffs. Despite the fact that the game was at a clear disadvantage, Wang Shuang scored twice in critical moments to confirm the victory. In the main round of this year's Olympic Games against Zambia, Wang Frost was still the star of the show, scoring four goals.
From the actual situation, counting on Wang Frost one after another in the qualifier, the main game "a handsome cover a hundred ugly" is not realistic. Almost at the same time as the team's first 5-goal defeat to the Brazilian team, the official announcement of Tang Jiali's stay in the English Premier League came from the country. China's players to stay in the program restarted, Shen Menglu, Tang Jiali and other three women players have been implemented to stay in the ocean. An official statistics of FIFA shows that the financial and other support obtained by China's women's soccer is now in the leading position in the world. The scale and brand appeal of domestic women's super league and women's first league are also among the top in the world. From this point of view, China's women's soccer does not lack support.
Well, there must be other reasons behind the performance of our women's soccer team in this Olympics. After the team's exit, some people pointed the finger at head coach Jia Xiuquan. Objectively speaking, Jia Xiuquan has shown some coaching talent and has worked hard for the team by leading them to the third place in the Asian Cup, the second place in the Asian Games and the main round of the Tokyo Olympics.
The issue about hiring may be just the surface reason. Jia Xiuquan took over China's women's soccer team in June 2018, but was the team's 14th head coach in nearly 16 years. In other words, the women's soccer team in the process of nearly 20 years, irregular experience turbulence. If the "0-8" confusion began with the turbulence, then who can deny that the current Chinese women's soccer team has not been affected by the previous turbulence?
An insider who has worked in women's soccer for many years commented that different coaches have different tactical ideas, showing different levels and characteristics of charisma and command collaboration. As a head coach, even if you can't be nepotistic, you should at least use players you can trust. Jia Xiuquan no matter what choice, from the point of view of the head coach's system of responsibility, are very normal.
Whether it is the sincerity and strength of the support for the program, or the trust and decentralization of the women's soccer coaching staff, it is difficult for outsiders to blame the National Football Association for inaction. The women's soccer coaching team needs to explore the reasons for the loss from its own work level and assume its due responsibilities. In the past years, China's women's soccer development direction continued to be unclear brought about by the team building mode, management mode of uncertainty, but also to the team's forward movement has created obstacles. It is clear that Jia Xiuquan should not be the only one to take on such a responsibility. Similar responsibilities cannot be assumed by the head coach.

: Why is men's basketball all stars and no results?
There is a saying in China's basketball world, "To find results for women's basketball, to find stars for men's basketball." China's women's basketball star Miao Lijie once told the Beijing Youth Daily reporter: "Every international competition, the results of the women's basketball team is very high, but usually the outside world on our attention is very low." In the previous Olympic Games campaign, China's women's basketball results the best once got a silver medal, but China's men's basketball best is to enter the top eight.
This Tokyo Olympics, in China's men's basketball history for the first time after the Olympic Games, the outside world's attention is more turned to the women's basketball as well as three basketball programs. Objectively speaking, China's women's basketball team in the Tokyo Olympics failed to enter the quarterfinals, but the results of the group stage win and in the process of showing the spirit is worthy of respect, they are also to a certain extent to defend the glory of China's basketball. China's three-player women's basketball podium, undoubtedly on the program for many years of preparation and investment in the reward. However, men's basketball, whether it is a five-man basketball or three-man basketball team is far from the previous investment, expectations, I am afraid that this situation is difficult to get effective improvement in the short term.
For China's men's basketball, in these years presents a very unequal state, CBA, whether professionalization, attention, reputation and other aspects of the rapid forward development, but at the same time China's men's basketball results have plummeted. Two years ago, they are sitting on the host of the biggest favorable conditions, but in the World Cup halted, which is undoubtedly China's basketball most painful setback. From the Olympic Games defeat can also be seen, China's men's basketball and the gap between the European forces is getting bigger and bigger.
Previously, China's men's basketball team can also obtain a ticket to the Olympic Games through the Asian Championships title, but since the introduction of the World Cup and Asian Cup tournament points after the Rio Olympics, China's men's basketball team wants to enter the Olympic Games probability is much lower than before.
How to change the problems and situation of our men's basketball team, let more players go out, training at a higher level, accelerated growth, may be the most effective way to look at the Japanese men's basketball team can be seen. At the same time, the issue of naturalized players may also be discussed again.

:: "Sports and education" is a better "cure" than naturalization.
China's three major ball in the international arena of the weakness of the Tokyo Olympics in fact has long been not only the topic of the Olympic Games, as early as before and after the London Olympics, the State General Administration of Sports has put forward the "to revitalize the three major ball" said. At that time, the local authorities almost always focused on the cultivation of talents in table tennis, weightlifting, diving, badminton, gymnastics and other traditional strengths of China's sports individual sports. For men's football and basketball, two highly market-oriented sports, the burden of talent cultivation was directly and completely handed over to the market.
Group ball project talent cultivation cycle is long, the rate of success is low, the possibility of achieving results in the Olympic Games is low, so that the provincial and municipal sports bureau leaders have to count up their own "small account" in terms of capital investment. Eventually, the Chinese Super League and CBA league because of the shortage of talent, gradually become a "mirage", the top players wages are getting higher and higher, but the whole talent pyramid of the tower base is more and more fragile.
Starting in 2019, making up for the shortfall in talent by naturalizing exceptional athletic talent has become a fast and effective method, but the talent pool for competitive sports still depends on a productive cultivation system.
In fact, the leaders of the Chinese Football Association (CFA) and the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) have realized what it means to be truly integrated with the education sector. Three major ball sports in the talent cultivation of "sports and education integration" has entered than ever before to a degree of intimacy.
According to the Beiqing Daily reporter understands, China Football Association, China Basketball Association leaders are with the Ministry of Education and China's secondary school sports associations of the relevant leaders to plan the "sports and education fusion", hoping to form a new China's group ball game project talent cultivation sports system. In the past, some sports and education two parts of the national youth tournaments separately, but also gradually combined into one, constitute a real synergy.
"Sports and education integration" may now be able to find a solution to the three major ball maladies of the bottom of the method, but want to really revive, at least two generations of hard work. "Long-term success" is undoubtedly the most important motto for the three major balls in China.

Reporter's snapshot
Three big balls leave the field with the Olympic dream in their hearts.
On August 4, with China's women's basketball team in the Tokyo Olympics quarter-finals against the European champion Serbia and then not reach the quarter-finals, China's three major sports have all left the field of the current Olympic Games. From the worst record in history to the end of the Tokyo tour of China's women's football, to the group stage failed to complete the defense of China's women's volleyball team, and then in the masters of the field of China's women's basketball team stopped eight, the three women's teams are China's three major ball in the Olympic Games to bear, they held up China's three major ball the whole piece of heaven, but can only withstand the fate of the early road back to the house.
Although our army in the Tokyo Olympic Games continue to come to fight for gold and silver good news, but the death of the three major balls is the people's heart for a long time can not be assured of regret, because people always have unlimited expectations for the three major balls, especially these women's troops who have experienced a glorious past.
In April this year, with China's women's football achieved a ticket to the Tokyo Olympic Games, and China's women's basketball, China's women's volleyball together, completed China's women's "three big balls" gathered in Tokyo. At that time, people were lamenting the women's women, these girls shoulder the expectations of China's women's ball team program, but also in the men's three major ball team downturn, hold up the whole sky. China's women's soccer and China's women's basketball team in the Olympic Games achieved the best results are the runner-up, China's women's volleyball team is the former three times stood on the podium of the Olympic Games, this time with the desire to defend the title began the journey to Tokyo.
However, Tokyo is not destined to be an open stage for China's three major sports. China's women's soccer team in the group stage only achieved 1 point, but also in the face of Brazilian women's soccer team and the Netherlands women's soccer team suffered two tragic losses, and finally left the field. "Try my best" is the most helpless and final expression of the women's soccer girls before leaving the field of the Tokyo Olympics. China's women's volleyball team, on the other hand, started the road of defending the title with the expectations of the nation, but it did not even pass the group stage hurdle. Accompanied by the song that sunshine always comes after wind and rain, the women's volleyball team girls ended the curtain-raiser of the Tokyo Olympics, and they made a deep bow to the meritorious coach Lang Ping. China's women's basketball team is the farthest of the three units, but has also stopped at the top eight.
There will always be success and loss, can withstand the praise and awards at the peak, we must withstand the loneliness and reluctance in the trough. Success makes one's heart pounding, but the loss is more people's bones, as long as we do not forget the loss, the future will one day return to those who belong to their glory. Once we lamented that they are lucky to have a dream in their hearts and dare to go after them, they are also extraordinary, try their best to fight is an eternal tradition. Today, we are worried about their loss, the three big ball left everyone a unique story, there are pain and joy.
Parting from the Olympic Games at this moment, they will have the next Olympic aspirations in their hearts, and the rising stars of the three major balls may still carry the flag of their predecessors in the future. The Olympic Games not only teaches people how to try their best to pursue their dreams and enjoy success, but also teaches people how to bear the loss and start again from scratch.
