In the preparation period of the 24-25 CBA League season, Beijing Control Men's Basketball Team has become one of the most talked-about teams. Looking back at last season, under the leadership of Min Lulei, Beijing Control achieved good results. Players such as Liao Saning and Zhang Fan performed well, each playing their part on the court and contributing to the team's success.
However, when the playoffs arrived, Beijing Control was unable to go far. The reasons for this are multifaceted, but to a large extent, it is due to the team's lack of talent reserves. As the saying goes, "Even a skilled housewife finds it hard to cook without rice." A team may have excellent tactical arrangements, but if it lacks talented players to execute them, it will find it difficult to progress further in the fierce playoff competition.
Therefore, during the preparation period, Beijing Control launched a series of active reinforcement measures. They set their sights on Shenzhen Men's Basketball Team and successfully brought in Shen Zijie, whose addition undoubtedly enhanced the team's interior strength. At the same time, Beijing Control also made gains in the transfer market, trading for the signing rights of CBA superstar foreign aid Salinge, which was another strong addition to the team's interior. However, Beijing Control's determination to strengthen did not stop there. After the start of the season, the team introduced Zhu Songwei, who had previously played in Hong Kong, China, further strengthening the team's frontcourt power.
With such huge investment and careful selection of multiple foreign players, Beijing Control's goal for the new season is very clear - aiming for the championship. They harbor a grand dream, hoping that this team can become a shining label for Beijing basketball. To expand the team's influence, Beijing Control even held a player retirement ceremony for Sun Yue, who had only served for two years, demonstrating their determination to build the team brand.
However, the new season's battles have been raging for some time, and the current results are not satisfactory. Beijing Control's record is 18 wins and 14 losses, ranking 10th in the league. This means that the team can only compete for the qualification of the playoff qualifying round. From the previous large-scale investment to the current performance status, the two are obviously not proportional.
Such a record by the team has brought about a huge chain reaction. Head coach Min Lulei is facing tremendous pressure. In fact, many fans have questioned Min Lulei's coaching. Judging from the team's personnel arrangements, some decisions seem questionable. For example, the loan of Wang Shaojie, whether this decision is reasonable or not is temporarily put aside, but when the team needs to go all out to achieve higher goals, personnel adjustments will undoubtedly have an impact on the team.
Furthermore, judging from the team's injury situation, Min Lulei's player rotation strategy seems to keep the team mired in an injury wave. There is a saying in the basketball world, "Injuries are fiercer than tigers." The constant occurrence of injuries in the team will inevitably affect the integrity of the lineup and the chemistry between players, thereby affecting the game results.
Against this backdrop, calls for Min Lulei to step down are growing. Recently, Beijing Control officially announced a new coaching support, which may also indicate that Min Lulei's situation is more delicate. They signed foreign coach Bedev-Gran, who once coached the Chinese men's basketball team. Bedev-Gran is no ordinary figure; he once served as an assistant coach to Jokic in the Chinese men's basketball team and has a certain influence in the Chinese basketball world. His tactical concepts and systems have been recognized by domestic basketball people.
At a time when Beijing Control is facing difficulties, the club's signing of Bedev-Gran is clearly aimed at helping Min Lulei help the team overcome difficulties, providing support in various aspects such as tactical guidance and player training arrangements. On the other hand, Bedev-Gran's joining undoubtedly poses a challenge to Min Lulei. If he performs outstandingly in the future, he is likely to replace Min Lulei and become the new head coach of Beijing Control in the team's future development decisions. Therefore, although he currently arrives as an assistant coach, he has already impacted Min Lulei's position.
The performance of Beijing Control during the season is the result of its decision-making, and now they must find a way to break through in the current predicament. Whether Min Lulei wants to hold onto his coaching position or Bedev-Gran wants to truly take over the team, they must formulate effective improvement plans based on the actual situation of the team. Only in this way can Beijing Control possibly achieve its goals in subsequent seasons.
