Zhou Peng faced Iran’s three points in the victory. Du Feng held his hands high and had a rare smile on his face. Du Feng has always been famous for his seriousness. Although he is not a piece of iron, he seems to be so happy.

Since the official publicity took over men’s basketball on October 31, 2019, Du Feng has led the national team for three years. Since he became the coach of China’s men’s basketball blue team in 2017, he has experienced ups and downs in five years. The controversy has always been the main theme of his national team career.

In 2012, Du Feng held a grand retirement ceremony. He invited Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhizhi and other national team teammates. Li Chunjiang, a mentor, gave him a piece of coaching board. After returning to his hometown in Xinjiang, he solemnly told his family about his plan to be the head coach of the national team in the future, he entered the coaching team of the men’s basketball national team and began to run far away.

Five years later, although Du Feng is still only 36 years old, as a young coach, he has rich coaching experience. He has been in charge of Guangdong for nearly 4 years. Although Du Feng was scolded as a “poisonous bee” just in the time when Guangdong was green and yellow, just one week before the red and blue detachment official Xuan coach, he led the team to the CBA finals of the 16-17 season. It was the first time that he really brought the team into the finals. Although it was swept, it was a bit of a record that could be taken.

Du Feng and Yao Ming in 2017

After retreating from Guangdong (Yunus took over), Du Feng began to concentrate on running the blue team. At that time, the national team adopted the red and blue serpentine draft, which made Li Nan and Du Feng make a big list (talent pool) from a 44-person invitation. The final players selected by Du Feng are: Yi Jianlian, Zhou Peng, Noble, Ren Junfei (Guangdong); Guo Allen, Han Dejun (Liaoning); Li Muhao, Gu Quan, yu dehao (shenzhen); Li gen, ke lanbai ke (xinjiang); Hu jinqiu, zhao yanhao (guangxia); Liu xiaoyu (shanghai); Li jinyu. Tao hanlin, jia cheng (shandong); cui Jinming (Jilin); Wang Ruheng (Sichuan); Chen Linjian (Fujian); Ju Mingxin (Guangzhou); Ren Junwei (Shanxi); Zhang Yuyu (Qingdao).

At that time, the red and blue training groups of the national team were not very popular, so the controversy was not loud.

The first official event after the formation of the blue team was the BRICS Games in 2017. The 12 people selected from the big list were: Noble, Cui Jinming, Li Jinyu, Liu Xiaoyu, Yu Dehao, Ren Junfei, hu Jinqiu, Tao Hanlin, Zeng Lingxu, Zhao Yanhao, Wu Qian and Han Dejun.

In this event, the blue team won India and South Africa in the first two battles, but the final 53-58 lost to Russia, which has a small half of the national team. After the game, Du Feng mainly commented on two players, one was Yu Dehao, pointing out that his movements were not concise enough, his rhythm changed badly, he turned back and forth, and finally even threw himself on the floor, quite awkward.

Yu Dehao made several mistakes that led to key discussions at that time: he fell (actually slipped)

The other one was Tao Hanlin, especially that he was too big in pushing and shoving, and the body control of the defensive end was not good. The continuous mistakes at the last moment made the team very injured.

Today, this is still an important evidence for netizens to discuss why Tao Hanlin could not enter Du Feng’s national team.

Du Feng didn’t have much success in the first show of the national team, but he also showed some characteristics and problems he had encountered since then.

For example, if Russia lost 5 points in the final, Du Feng used 11 people except Cui Jinming in the first world war, while Zeng Lingxu only played 3 minutes 26 seconds, the other 10 people had the least playing time at 7 minutes 54 seconds in Tao Hanlin, which was still because he graduated five times in less than 8 minutes.

Long rotation is Du Feng’s favorite way. He firmly believes that the influence of physical fitness and confrontation on the game is crucial. He also believes that the basis of defensive strength is physical fitness. This label has been following him until today.

The BRICS Games, including the warm-up match with Australia’s NBL United team and NBL team, and the experience of Four Nations tournament, revealed the short board of the blue team. The biggest problem is that the rear guard line is too bad. Before Guo Allen’s return, he basically had no active offensive ability and completely did not conform to the current basketball trend.

Therefore, different from the so-called “superstitious three defenders” later, the attack of the national team under Du Feng at that time mainly depended on the inside line. During the BRICS Games, the players who scored double in each of the three games were Han Dejun, Hu Jinqiu and Ren Junfei.

Yu Dehao was in a hurry, Zeng Lingxu, who could not fight, Wu Qian, who was still struggling to transform, Liu Xiaoyu, who was not shooting properly, Cui Jinming, who had no chance to play…… This set of rear guard line made Du Feng scolded by netizens as a dog blood nozzle. At that time, Yu Dehao, who had only 1.8 points in the league, played the absolute main force, and even let du director quilt rack roast on the fire.

In less than three months after the formation of the Asian Cup Blue team, it undertook the first competition task of China men’s basketball after the red and blue detachment, which was the Asian Cup after the restructuring of the Asian Championship in 2017. The blue team and du instructor who went to Lebanon’s Beirut faced a real big test.

There is still no Yi Jianlian in the list of 12 people, but Guo Allen, Zhou Peng, Li Gen and Li Muhao, four national players who participated in the Rio Olympic Games, together with the striker Gu Quan, replaced Cui Jinming, zhao Yanhao, Tao Hanlin, Li Jingyu and noble formed the final list together with Yu Dehao, Zeng Lingxu, Liu Xiaoyu, Wu Qian, Ren Junfei, Hu Jinqiu and Han Dejun.

In the first battle in the Philippines, Du Feng started with Guo Allen and Liu Xiaoyu. Who expected that he was 17 points behind in the second quarter. The blue team caught up and finally succeeded in the middle of the last quarter. However, Guo Allen left the game five times later and lost the outside core men’s basketball. Yu Dehao didn’t help the team win, romeo, the core of the Philippine outside line opposite him, scored 8 points in a row. If God helps, the blue team swallowed the defeat.

In the second battle, Du Feng changed his array and put Guo Allen into the substitute, and let Wu advance into the starting line. Although Guo Allen was a substitute, he was given more offensive initiative. The outbreak broke out with 30 points, and the blue team beat Qatar in the end. In the third game, the blue team of Zhao Fang trapping poison was recognized by Iraq. The two teams were deadlocked all the way to the end, and Guo Allen scored in a row. The blue team won the promotion with 1 point.

Immediately after the elimination match, Du Feng’s blue team once again failed to defend the core player. Former CBA Foreign Aid “Syrian Jordan” Michelle-Ma Stanley cut 35 points, 7 assists and 4 steals, leading the blue team by 15 points. However, although Du Feng has poor control over the team, he still has a physical advantage in the general direction. He reversed again and won 2 points.

The unexpected loss of the blue team in the group match made the team encounter Australia, the strongest opponent in advance at 8th and 4th, and finally lost 26 points miserably. Although it defeated Jordan later and narrowly defeated the host Lebanon without Guo Allen, however, the result of the fifth Asian Cup still caused a major earthquake in public opinion.

Du Feng’s first coach of the national team went to the competition, which can be said to be a chicken feather. Meanwhile, the guidance of rival Li Nan ran in with the red team smoothly and won the Asian championship for China men’s basketball a year later.

During the period when Du Feng was coaching the blue team, Yu Dehao was the main target of the online rhetoric. He lost 5 fouls in 11 minutes against Australia and would not play without a ball, the ball holding organization was delayed again, and it didn’t match several other defenders. Du Feng had to bear the pressure from all sides every time he used him.

Du Feng and Yu Dehao

Du Feng does have his obsession. He values defenders with good defensive attitude. Yu Dehao was exactly such a player. He touched Du Feng in the 16-17 season facing the Guangdong playoffs and later the National Games, but his final performance in the blue team never showed that performance again, just like the first show, he dropped himself on the floor with the ball, which made people speechless.

In those years, Du Feng also suffered from the shortage of defenders for many years in Guangdong, which seemed to have become his heart. When Guo Allen was away, the core defender of the blue team became Wu Qian, the love general after Du’s guidance.

In the warm-up match between the blue team and Canada in 2018, Du Feng entered the arena directly for Lu Wenbo (then both of them were sent off), and then Wu Qian scored 7 three points in the previous one, although it was still a big defeat. At that time, Wu Qian was not as famous as today, but it was common to cut 20 + in the blue team.

Du Feng stood up for the players

After Guo Allen, Liu Xiaoyu, Gao Shiyan and others were absent for various reasons, the blue team added the defender again. In august 2018, the blue team announced the list of 15 people participating in the international men’s basketball championships: hu mingxuan, yu dehao, zhou peng, li gen, ke lanbai ke-ma kan, tao hanlin, lu wenbo, ren junfei, hu Jinqiu, Wu Qian, Han Dejun, Zhou Zhandong, alslan, Li Yuanyu, Li Xiaoxu.

Not only did Yu Dehao stay, but also Zhou Zhandong and Hu Mingxuan from Guangdong, adding alslan from Bayi. Zhou Zhandong scored an average of 4.3 points in Guangdong that year, while Hu Mingxuan transferred from the red team to the blue team. He even guided Du to discover and send it to Guangdong youth training from Xinjiang, because of the countless ties with Du Feng, the two immediately became the focus of controversy after joining the Blue team.

Zhou Zhandong was only 4.3 points in the Guangdong team at that time, and it was very controversial to enter the national team.

The blue team played in the International Men’s Basketball Championship, which was actually Four Nations tournament. In the first battle, they won Angola with 34 points. Zhou Zhandong scored 10 points and Hu Mingxuan scored 12 points. The two played well in this series. Wu Qian scored 25 + in the first two battles, and the blue team won in a row. In The Last Battle, Ren Junfei scored 29 points to defeat Serbia, and the blue team won the championship successfully.

The blue team in the Du Feng era was the first champion honor they won and the only one.

Then the blue team marched into the cup again and defeated denmark in canada. Just when people thought that du feng’s blue team finally passed the guard bar, when the red team rushed to yaga with full victory in two battles, the blue team made a 180-degree sharp turn, with the last wave of 0-15, and finally lost 7 points to Tunisia.

Worse, the core Wu Qian only got 6 points, while Yu Dehao once again sent himself to the hot search with 5 fouls.

Shortly after the end of the Cup, the red team won the Asian Championship in Jakarta. On September 7, 2018, basketball Park broadcast the short film of the Asian Games championship record, and also broadcast the blue team’s preparation for FIFA World Cup qualification. The blue team gathered in the midfield. Du Feng was quite dissatisfied with Yu Dehao, who was not correct in training. He said, “Yu Dehao, see how many people scold you and how many people scold me on the Internet, say what level you are, I will pull you to the blue team. I think this training, I bring training, you should be the first to rush on the top to support my work, instead of wandering there.”

You, you carefully, the joy of the red team and the blue team formed a strong contrast. Soon after, red and blue merged, Du Feng’s first journey to coach the national team ended.

What’s going on? The candidates were paranoid and radical. Du Feng’s blue team was involved in the long history after being labeled as “defender Crematorium. But in fact, before the final curtain call of the blue team, Du Feng seemed to have found his own answer.

On FIFA World Cup qualification in September 2018, the 12-member list of the blue team was: Hu Mingxuan, Guo Allen, Yu Dehao, Zhou Peng, Ke lanbai Ke Ma Kan, Lu Wenbo, Ren Junfei, Hu Jinqiu, Li Xiaoxu, tao Hanlin, Wu Qian, Han Dejun. In the first battle, in the absence of Yi Jianlian and Guo Allen’s leg injured with 0 points and 2 assists, he fought with Lebanon until Canada, and the second battle reversed Jordan.

That was Hu Mingxuan’s Masterpiece. He gave 12 points and 10 assists in the competition and became a monster to win. His youth and impact were exactly the answer of Du Feng in the future. After stepping down as the coach of the blue team, he returned to Guangdong with Zhao Rui of the red team, Hu Mingxuan of the blue team and Xu Jie, the rookie, galloping in the fast-moving whirlwind driven by shuangxiao, he won the first championship in his coaching career and the “Chenghai Cup” symbolizing the best coach “.

In this year, the competition balance between him and Li Nan’s guidance was sharply tilted again. Men’s basketball was dismal in the World Cup, while Du Feng took his famous saying, “a day, you are harder!” Hu Mingxuan, I have your heart!” Go, go, play games!” “20 points is counted as P……”, Become the traffic responsibility in the league. Any word and action may become online best-selling product at any time.

On October 31, 2019, the Basketball Association official announced the change of coach, and Du Feng officially became the head coach of the national team.

From taking over the national team to June 16, 2021, the list of Du Feng’s new national team came late after waiting for a year and a half: Zhou Peng, Zhou Qi, Liu Chuanxing, Shen Zijie, Ren Junfei, Zhang Zhenlin, zhu Mingzhen, Zeng fanbo (replaced by Wang Shaojie), Zhao Jiwei, Hu Mingxuan, Lu Wenbo, Zhao Yanhao, Wu Qian and Xu Jie.

Interestingly, in the first 27-person list, Yu Dehao appeared again. He and Qi Lin, He Xining, du runwang, Yu Jiahao, Wang Shaojie (later added to the team), yi Jianlian, Guo Allen, Wang Zhilin, Sun Minghui, Gao Shiyan, Wang quanze, Zeng fanbo and others finally lost the list.

This was another storm. Except for the players and rookie from Guangdong youth training, the 14-person list basically came from the blue team. Du Feng, a “cronyism” hat, could not be removed. Especially Xu Jie, who was still young at that time, obviously had less potential than Liu Chuanxing of Yu Jiahao, which was controversial.

However, the appearance of Du Feng’s new national team was still successful. First, he won 4 matches in the World Cup qualifier, and then he played against the strong team in the Olympic unsuccessful race, hu Mingxuan’s threat of FMVP swept across the stadium.

When China went to Japan FIFA World Cup qualification in the first window of men’s basketball in November, it seemed that the national team was finally going to go up. Guo Allen and Zhao Rui returned strongly. Zhou Qi was in a good state. Hu Jinqiu had shown MVP style, zhang Zhenlin has a great general trend.

However, reality always breaks people’s expectations easily, and this summer it will be troublesome.

The biggest worry was hu mingxuan, who was cultivated by du feng from the blue team. Since the skin problems in the first stage of the last season, the state of hu you has plummeted, and he often sleepwalks on the court, he, who was expected to become the No. 2 official seal of the national team, soon became a “relationship” that must cause heated discussion every time the national team “.

This summer’s story does not need to be repeated. In men’s basketball, du feng suffered from the double oppression of the epidemic and the schedule. Du feng once again lost to lebanon, the strongest in more than ten years. The controversy about du feng also reached its peak: the third defender, the controversial national team candidate, hu mingxuan’s 20-minute appearance time, which is almost impossible to play, and playing the second-rate team in west asia is always a thrilling process……

Conclusion Du Feng has always been like this. His selection has a strong personal color, just like the style he used, which is slightly extreme. This is the case from the blue team to today, but he trusted Yu Dehao and Hu Mingxuan not to rush ahead for him. The staff were out of hands, the epidemic was severe, and the competition failed. Du Feng’s national team finally only left the excitement.

In detail, du feng has never played any rich battles in his career as coach of the national team for more than three years. His tactics of attack and defense are very particular about the tacit understanding of the team, which requires time to accumulate and cultivate. It was not until recently that china men’s basketball slowly showed the offensive and defensive execution force like guangdong (the iranian team showed a good state and technical and tactical level, but playing in bahrain gave people a bad aftertaste).

If you say one thousand, ten thousand, winning is the last word. At this time, Du Feng and the national team were facing the situation, just like he and Guangdong in the summer of 2017. They saw some dawn, but they were sure to succeed without sticking to it.

It takes time for the coach to check whether it is good or not. If the shoes are good or not, you always need to run to know. Changing the handsome or not can’t give people a definite guarantee of success at this time.

The only thing we can be sure is that in the era of China’s men’s basketball, Du Feng really stood up to take over this hot sweet potato and led the Chinese men’s basketball through this transitional period of war.
