During the previous CBA All-Star Weekend, Du Feng, the head coach of Guangdong team, was interviewed by relevant media, revealing many of his own stories and expressing his helplessness during his tenure as the head coach of China men’s basketball team.
During his time as head coach of the national team, Du Feng was under a lot of pressure, because he was also the head coach of the Guangdong team, so a large number of fans in a certain place in the north were picky about him, just because he was not pleasing to the eye, and they also fabricated many rumors, in short, they wanted to get Du Feng down.
Among these rumors of fans in a certain place in the north, one is fierce, and that is Du Feng’s "nepotism". In fact, this is the biggest helplessness of Du Feng as the head coach of the national team. After coaching the China men’s basketball team for three years, Du Feng has never had a neat staff, and his favorite insider Hu Jinqiu played one or two games for him, and most of the rest of the time was recovering.
In addition, it is also helpless for Du Feng to play the third guard, because the striker he wants can never be called up. For example, Wiliam is in the talent pool of the national three-person basketball team, not in the five-person basketball pool, so Du Feng can’t be called up. Du Feng once took a fancy to Cui Yongxi, a young talented player, but the latter was not in the talent pool, so Du Feng couldn’t use it either.
In addition, Du Feng has only a short training time at a time, and he doesn’t have enough time to build a new system. He can only arrange players to adjust quickly from CBA games and quickly enter his own preset tactical system. In order to catch up with the time, Du Feng can only use players who are most familiar with him and conform to the system, such as Hu Mingxuan and Wu Qian. Facts have proved that these players are easy to use, and later Jorjevich also continued to use them.
In the final stage of Du Feng’s coaching the national team, even before he finished the game, someone released the news that he was leaving, which was really inappropriate. When the media asked if the Guangdong team’s players knew first, Du Feng said that the Liaoning team’s players had known for a long time, which actually showed that this matter was not simple. Du Feng was forcibly taken down by the relevant personnel in a certain place in the north.
