The basketball world is in turmoil again, Guo Shiqiang attracted the election storm, challenging the core concept of the Basketball Association team. In its latest announcement, the National Basketball Association (NBA) has clearly set out the four major guidelines for the organization of the team: aiming for a global vision, establishing international benchmarks, integrating Chinese characteristics, and pursuing a high level of excellence. This strategy aims to be on par with the world's top level and create an internationalized team that blends the East and the West. At the same time, the FIBA also emphasized the potential talent reserve strategy for the 2027 and 2031 World Cups.
However, Guo Shiqiang's actual operation went against the grand blueprint of the basketball association. He picked 28-year-old Gao Shi Yan and Zhu Ming Zhen into the lineup, and despite their unimpressive performance in the CBA, they were given too much exposure in warm-up games, sparking discontent among fans. Meanwhile, potential stars Lin Weiwei and Zhao Weilun were left out of the lineup, unable to sharpen their skills overseas with the team, a move that seems to expose Guo Shiqiang's conservative attitude and short-sighted vision in the use of talent. People can't help but question whether this coach can really practice the four principles of the National Basketball Association (NBA). Can he really with the international top level side by side, to create a dream team of Chinese and Western? These questions are like a fog that confuses people.
The performance in the warm-up game has provoked the anger of the fans, who have called for Guo Shiqiang's dismissal, believing that he is not as good as Du Feng, and even worse than his former coach, Đorđević. Famous commentator Su Qun also sharply criticized this phenomenon, that Guo Shiqiang missed a good opportunity throughout the summer. Fans are deeply disappointed with the choice of the Basketball Association, have said: "It's over! Guo is afraid to follow in the footsteps of Gao Hongpo." What are your thoughts on this?
