Undoubtedly, the audience is deeply frustrated with the recent situation and results of the women's basketball team, Zheng Wei in the selection and tactical adjustments in the decision-making is also full of questions and dissatisfaction.
Under these waves, President Yao Ming's intervention seems inevitable.
Admittedly, all four major championships have been vacant since Yao Ming took charge of Chinese basketball. It seems that Zheng Wei's coaching career may be coming to an end.
This is despite her three years at the helm, helping the women's basketball team win the Asian Cup, the Hangzhou Asian Games, and a runner-up finish in the World Cup, contributing immensely.
Analogous to Shui Qingxia, who guided the women's soccer team back to the top of Asia but was dismissed due to subsequent poor performance, the situation of Zheng Wei is not promising either.
Given that China's sports programs are mostly based on the Olympic Games as a cycle, Zheng Wei's short dismissal seems to have become the norm and inevitable.
Although Zheng Wei speechless after class, but deep inside always feel unsatisfactory, not thorough enough. After all, Zheng Wei is only a coach, behind her there are "experts" and "big shot" figure, her influence on the women's basketball team may be more far-reaching.
Even though she was mostly behind the scenes, she was like the gold master behind the scenes, manipulating Zheng Wei, the puppet.
At the same time, the men's basketball team lost in two Olympics, fell to the eighth in Asia, three basketball men's and women's teams have not achieved good results, can not help but make people worry about the future of Chinese basketball.
In dark moments, the shimmering light is especially precious. The problems of Chinese basketball, once exposed, have led to a flurry of activity.
It is time to uncover the black hand behind the scenes, to find out, eliminate the roots! Otherwise, the men's basketball team's move to change the coach is just treating the symptoms but not the root cause.
Zheng Wei's dismissal seems inevitable, but it is difficult to convince the public of her personal stay or departure.
