As foreign media continue to speculate on the news that Joel jervich will coach China’s men’s basketball, Du Feng’s resignation seems to have been fixed, and there is a high probability that officials will announce the matter after China’s men’s basketball return to China and isolation. However, the reaction of all parties during this period was somewhat subtle.

As early as Du Feng led the troops to Teheran, the front foot of China’s men’s basketball had just set off, and the well-informed backfoot of foreign media had already revealed the news that Qiao erjievic was about to enter China’s men’s basketball. It is reasonable to say that the rumor of changing the handsome before the key game may shake the Army’s heart. Under normal circumstances, the news should not be allowed to flow freely at this time, but the attitude of all parties is quite subtle. The Chinese Basketball Association has never responded to the news of foreign media. Some people familiar with the matter told the sports big business that Du Feng himself also had this psychological preparation. The leader of China men’s basketball, guo Zhenming, the secretary of the joint party committee of the basket Management Center and the Chinese Basketball Association, also specially comforted the explosion internally.

As China locked the number of places in the World Cup in advance men’s basketball, Du Feng’s guidance thanked almost all the people and fans who had worked with the national team in the past three years at the post-game press conference, in particular, I thanked the team leader, coach, physical trainer and medical assurance personnel who had been partners in the past three years one by one, and admitted frankly that I had been particularly tired in the past three years, when it was almost impossible to stick to it, it was the support and encouragement of the fans that made them grow. Du Feng’s sincere words and emotional expressions at the post-match press conference all conveyed the meaning of farewell, which further proved the rumor that Du Feng was about to step down.

Why did Du Feng leave office in a hurry after winning the World Cup tickets for three years? After all, the age of Du Feng is quite different from that of Jiang Xingquan who led the team to win the tickets for the Athens Olympic Games in 2003. Wang Fei stepped down after China’s defeat of Busan Asian Games in men’s basketball in 2002. At that time, Chinese basketball coach was in a state of blue and yellow, and the Basket management center almost let Gong Luming, then China’s women’s basketball coach, take over the men’s basketball, in view of the achievements of the women’s basketball platinum generation created by Gong Luming, this plan to “tear down the east wall and supplement the West Wall” was immediately stopped. In the end, after repeated lobbying, Jiang Xingquan agreed to go out of the mountains only a few months before the Asian Championship began. However, he and the Basket management center had a prior word and he was older and older, I have no enough energy to serve as the coach of men’s basketball for a long time. No matter whether I win or lose the Harbin Asian championship, I will take the initiative to give up the prize after the game. Therefore, after the Asian Championship, the basket management center began to inspect the new coach, and finally invited Harris and Yunas, the two foreign coaches.

Obviously, Du Feng, who was in his prime, did not have the same situation when he and Jiang Xingquan took the initiative to seek for the Athens Olympic Games because of age problems after they got the tickets in 2003. In the three years under the epidemic, Du Feng managed to accompany the Chinese men’s basketball to get a chance to prove himself again. He had no reason to choose to give up this opportunity of Fame at this time. Insiders told Fu Zhenghao, who was a big sports student, that Du Feng’s reasons for leaving office were various, some of which were inconvenient to say more and could be verified in the future. There are several reasons that can be clearly stated:

First, the Chinese Basketball national team requires that the head coach must be a full-time coach. The Chinese Basketball Association has always hoped that the coach of the national team can be fully responsible for the preparation and training of the national team, and in the past, the coach of the national team has basically been a full-time coach, even the former Yunas was asked by the basket management center to resign from the post of manager of the Greek club after serving as the coach of China men’s basketball.

Since Du Feng took over as the coach of China’s men’s basketball at the end of 2019, China’s men’s basketball in 2020 and 2021 did not have a particularly important international competition task for the time being. Only then did Du Feng acquiesce to serve as the coach of CBA Guangdong Southern Tigers club. Du Feng believes that coaching CBA helps him to better inspect players and understand and learn advanced coaching concepts with the times. As this year officially entered the new cycle of preparing for the 2024 Paris Olympics, Chinese men and women’s basketball coaches were once again required to become full-time coaches. I can’t see him. A few days ago, Zheng Wei, the coach of China’s women’s basketball, officially resigned from the defending champion Inner Mongolia Women’s basketball. However, Du Feng’s dual identities as coach of the national team and coach of Hongyuan also made many fans question his cronyism, which undoubtedly attracted the attention of relevant parties.

2. At the end of September, the General Administration of Sport held a forum on preparations for the Paris Olympic Games. The heads of many associations were required to make speeches on preparations and declare their respective preparations for the Paris Olympic Games, and is required to dismantle the task indicators step by step. For the collective ball item represented by the foot basket row, it can be said that the time is tight and the task is heavy, on September 14, when leading the research and preparation work, it was clearly required to improve the competitive level of collective ball games during the Paris Olympic Games cycle. At present, China men’s basketball is not sure whether it can achieve the best results in Asia in the 2023 World Cup so as to win the tickets directly to the Paris Olympics, the Chinese Basketball Association also needs to assess whether the existing Chinese men’s basketball configuration can complete the task indicators.

3. During his three years as coach of China men’s basketball, Du Feng himself basically had a high overlap with the epidemic, which brought severe challenges to the national team to prepare for the war and participate in overseas competitions, the national players often need to rotate in the closed-loop life of the national team and the CBA league all the year round, resulting in great physiological and psychological pressure and ups and downs in the competitive state. Zhao Jiwei even publicly issued a document saying that he had a war-weary mentality, as soon as you step into the field, you feel weak and don’t want to play. Sometimes I want to secretly find a psychologist to treat it. As the coach of China’s men’s basketball, Du Feng was not only troubled by the boring isolation life, but also coordinated and comforted the players. He was undoubtedly the person with the greatest pressure.

Du Feng not only bears pressure because of the ups and downs of China’s men’s basketball competitive state, but also bears the pressure of public opinion for the talent selection work of the national team. In the long run, the mental pressure is great. The selection of the national team is a scientific, systematic and rigorous work under the leadership of the Chinese Basketball Association, but in the end, Du Feng is often blamed by public opinion. Although Du Feng’s public clarification through media interviews is still difficult to work, this makes it quite helpless. At the post-match press conference against Bahrain, Du Feng said frankly, “he has experienced many difficulties and setbacks. Whenever he is particularly tired and cannot stick to it, he likes me, supports me, I support men’s basketball Chinese fans, and these support and encouragement have promoted me and this team to grow together.”

Fourth, the construction of sports power has put forward higher requirements for the three big balls in the football basket, accompanied by the joint investigation of the projects that the masses are not satisfied with and the performance has declined significantly, someone must take responsibility. For example, the General Administration of Sports and the Ministry of Public Security jointly issued the Notice on seriously investigating gambling fake balls and other violations of discipline and discipline, and effectively strengthening industry self-discipline at the beginning of this year. In view of the fact that the investigation work is destined to be long-lasting and very complicated, if the core positions such as the coach of the national team are served by a single and pure foreign teacher with a single relationship with the industry, it is also a kind of protection for local coaches.

In a word, Du Feng left his job in a hurry after winning the tickets for the 2023 World Cup. Although he was unwilling, from another perspective, it also belonged to success and retreat. Perhaps in the long run, this is not a wise choice. Of course, only time can verify all this.
