Although the CBA league will not start for more than a month, the news of China basketball has emerged in an endless stream recently, the most interesting of which is the news that Yang Ming, the coach of Liaoning men’s basketball team, officially broke up with the club.
As the coach of CBA team, 38-year-old Yang Ming is still very young, but he has already worn two CBA championship rings on his hand, which even Guo Shiqiang has never achieved. Of course, Yang Ming’s success in Liao basket was not entirely smooth sailing. In the summer of 2020, Guo Shiqiang announced his resignation after the Liaoning Basketball Team lost to Zhejiang Team. The Liaoning General Administration of Sports did not retain this meritorious coach, but promoted Yang Ming, who was only 35 years old at that time, to the position of head coach of the Liaoning Basketball Team.
In the middle of the league class, he was also a rookie head coach. In the first season after taking over the Liao basketball, Yang Ming was only a nominal head coach, and the real command was in the hands of Spanish teaching assistant Martinez. This season, the Guangdong men’s basketball team is still very brave, and Yi Jianlian, Ma Shang and weems are still at their peak, so the Liao basketball team was defeated by the Guangdong men’s basketball team in the finals and missed the CBA championship again.
In the next 2020-21 season, Yang Ming officially became the coach of Liao Basketball. In order to help Yang Ming grow up, Liaoning Sports Bureau invited back the coach Jiang Xingquan and Wu Naiqun, a famous player of Liao Basketball, to assist him. In addition, the Liao basketball team also introduced Fogg, which made the team’s inside and outside lineups stronger, and the Liao basketball team reached the finals without any suspense.
However, the Liao basketball team once again fell at the foot of the Guangdong men’s basketball team at the last minute of the championship. After missing the CBA championship again, Yang Ming offered to resign, but under the persuasion of Jiang Xingquan, he chose to stay.
Failure is the mother of success, after last season’s setbacks. Yang Ming grew up quickly. In the next 2021-22 season, he led the Liao basketball team to the finals in the league. At this time, the Guangdong men’s basketball team had begun to decline, and the opponent of the Liao basketball finals became Zhejiang Guangsha.
The strength of Guangsha team can’t be compared with that of Guangdong men’s basketball team in its peak period, so the Liao team swept its opponent 4-0 and won the second CBA championship in the club’s history, and 37-year-old Yang Ming finally made a name for himself.
Last season, coach Jiang Xingquan officially retired and went home to support himself, and Yang Ming began to shoulder all the burdens of the team by himself. In this regard, many fans think that the young Yang Ming can’t lead the Liao basketball team to successfully defend the title, but Yang Ming has made a strong counterattack with his success. After defeating Guangsha in the semi-final, Liao Basketball swept Zhejiang 4-0 again in the final, and successfully defended the CBA championship for the first time.
After three seasons’ experience, today’s Yang Ming has become more and more mature, and his tactical formulation and on-the-spot command are much more sophisticated than three years ago. It can be said that at least half of the credit for Liao Basketball’s successful defending should belong to Yang Ming.
As the most successful head coach in the history of Liao basketball, now Yang Ming has more chips to talk about the terms of contract renewal with the club. But after talking about it, the General Administration only offered Yang Ming a renewal contract with an annual salary of 500,000, which is too shabby for a CBA champion coach. Therefore, Yang Ming finally decided to leave the Liao basket that he had been sticking to for 20 years.
Recently, there have been many media reports that Yang Ming has found a new home-a CBA club in the south. Although these media didn’t name this southern club, considering that Guangdong and Guangzhou teams with Du Feng and Guo Shiqiang can’t change coaches, the Shanghai men’s basketball team has also decided to be coached by Liu Peng in the new season. Therefore, now only the Shenzhen men’s basketball team can have an affair with Yang Ming.
In recent seasons, the changes of Shenzhen team are very obvious, and they already have the strength to compete for the championship, but the coach has always been the biggest shortcoming of the team. Today, Yang Ming joined the Shenzhen Men’s Basketball Team, which undoubtedly filled this short board. I believe that he is strong and will be able to manage a star player like Shen Zijie.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the salary offered by Shenzhen Men’s Basketball Team to Yang Ming must be much higher than that of Liao Basketball Team, at least 10 times that of 500,000-5 million! Whether Yang Ming, who gets a high salary, can lead the Shenzhen men’s basketball team to win the CBA championship in the new season, let’s wait and see …
