In the home game against Beikong Men's Basketball Team, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team's performance was like a roller coaster, unpredictable. They scored 33 points in the first quarter, but only managed 19 points in the second quarter, then regained their form to score 36 points in the third quarter, but fell into a slump again in the fourth quarter, scoring only 16 points. Although Liaoning Men's Basketball Team eventually won the game, such a performance clearly failed to satisfy the fans. In particular, the intense argument between head coach Yang Ming and core guard Zhao Jiwei on the sidelines during the game has drawn widespread attention and concern from fans.
After the game, Coach Yang Ming expressed his extreme dissatisfaction with the result of the game. He candidly stated that although the team ultimately achieved victory, the process of the game should not have been so tortuous. He emphasized that during the difficult period when the team was short of players, the players were able to go all out and seize opportunities, but now it seems that a kind of arrogance has arisen. Coach Yang Ming believes that this arrogance may stem from the players' mindset and daily training attitude. He warned that if the players do not want to give their all on the court, then no matter who they are, they can stay off the court.
When discussing the intense argument with Zhao Jiwei, Coach Yang Ming indicated that he was very dissatisfied with Liaoning Men's Basketball Team's performance, and as the team's core and brain, Zhao Jiwei's performance in this game did not meet expectations. Especially in terms of rhythm control, Zhao Jiwei appeared somewhat hesitant and out of control. Moreover, Coach Yang Ming also pointed out that some of Zhao Jiwei's fancy passes in the game increased the team's mistakes. He recalled that Zhao Jiwei attempted several high-difficulty passes in the game, but the results were not ideal, and even some balls were directly lost. As the team's core guard, Zhao Jiwei's change undoubtedly had an impact on the team's overall rhythm.
Coach Yang Ming also revealed the inside story of the locker room. He stated that after the game, he returned to the locker room in a rage and severely criticized the team's performance. He believed that the team's arrogant mood was one of the main reasons for the poor performance in this game. As the team's captain and core, Zhao Jiwei should take the lead and help the team get rid of this arrogant mood.
This game and the subsequent argument undoubtedly sounded the alarm for Liaoning Men's Basketball Team. As a team aiming for the championship, Liaoning Men's Basketball Team needs to maintain a humble and hardworking attitude and must not let arrogance arise due to temporary victories. At the same time, as the team's core guard, Zhao Jiwei also needs to adjust his mentality and playing style, focusing more on the game itself and contributing his strength to the team's victory. Only in this way can Liaoning Men's Basketball Team go further in future games.
