Chapter 240: Intriguing

Interestingly, the name of the head coach did not appear in the long-awaited training camp list announced on the 30th. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

According to the leader of the men's basketball team, the members of the coaching staff have been gathered in place and will report after the Qingming holiday. Compared to his so-called coaching staff, it certainly does not include the head coach.

Previously, the head coach of the men's basketball team was Gong Luming.

Speaking of Gong Luming's name, there must be many fans who feel very familiar.

In the 80s of the last century, he shocked the Asian basketball world, was a member of the Chinese men's basketball team, known as the "desperate Saburo", and won the "Best Guard" and "Best Long Pitcher" awards in the 6th National Games.

After retiring in 1991, he transformed into a coach, and led the Chinese team to the eighth place in the 1996 Atlanta Olympics as the head coach, achieving a historic breakthrough.

At the end of 1999, Gong Luming became the head coach of the Chinese women's basketball team, and the Chinese women's basketball team fell into a trough at this time.

Since 2006, he has been the leader of the Chinese men's basketball team.

In February 2014, he became the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team again.

In January, he led the Chinese men's basketball team to win the championship of the 28th Asian Men's Basketball Championship and led the men's basketball team to return to the top of Asia.

As a basketball player who is only in his early 1.7 meters, his performance on the court is already very good, and he couldn't ask for more. And as a coach, he is also very high-level, otherwise he would not be able to become the head coach of the men's basketball team and lead the men's basketball team to achieve good results.

Just last year, Gong Luming just led the young Chinese men's basketball team to win the Asian Championships in Changsha, overcoming various difficulties and finally getting a direct ticket to the Rio Olympics.

At the moment when the Chinese men's basketball team defeated Manila three years ago and thousands of horses were in unison, it was Gong Luming who was ordered to take over the national team coaching whip that no one dared to take, and finally led these young people to complete the redemption amid endless doubts.

With his achievements, it should be a matter of course to become the head coach of this men's basketball team. However, he had a conflict with the Basketball Association because of his treatment, and the two sides refused to give in to each other, and in the end, Gong Luming was very likely to be unable to become the head coach of the men's basketball team.

On the surface, it was because Gong Luming's request for salary was not met by the Basketball Association, and the two sides were never able to negotiate, and in the end, the Basketball Association is very likely to choose someone else to replace Gong Luming. But in fact, the contradiction between Gong Luming and the Basketball Association has been going on for a long time.

As early as two years ago, when he took over the Chinese men's basketball team, the Basketball Association took the initiative to invite Gong Luming to come out of the mountain.

In Gong Luming's impression, Xin Lancheng, director of the basketball management center, hurriedly pushed open the door of his office, and threw down the sentence "The general bureau is decided, it's you", and the basketball center officially issued a document to appoint.

However, due to his status as a civil servant, the relevant person in charge of the Basketball Association promised to compensate Gong Luming in other forms in the future. Therefore, without any in-depth communication between the two sides on the treatment at that time, and without even signing a formal contract, Gong Luming began to accept the job of the coach, and finally led the Chinese men's basketball team to Rio.

Although Gong Luming finally completed the set goal, the Basketball Association did not fulfill its promise, and even when the Chinese men's basketball sponsor held a celebration to distribute bonuses after winning the championship, Gong Luming failed to get it because of his status as a national official.

And what makes Gong Luming feel very unhappy is that winning the Asian Championships is a major event of great significance for the Chinese men's basketball team, but so far the Basketball Association has not arranged any summary or plan for the next stage, let alone any form of encouragement or recognition.

In fact, in leading the men's basketball team from the trough to the Asian championship, Gong Luming has also had fierce differences of opinion with the Chinese Basketball Association many times.

In order for the players to have better rest conditions during the journey, Gong Luming once communicated with the Basketball Association, hoping that the Basketball Association could provide business class tickets for the big athletes in the team. However, the Basketball Association believes that the athlete is a state employee and is not eligible for business class, and requires the men's basketball team to report separately to apply for this fee.

The men's basketball team re-applied in accordance with the regulations of the Basketball Association, but the Basketball Association directly transferred the report to the General Administration of Sports, and then to the Ministry of Finance.

During the Asian Championships, the daughter of men's basketball player Zhou Peng suddenly fell seriously ill, and some leaders of the Basketball Association originally disapproved of giving Zhou Peng a holiday, they believed that the players should put the national interest first at this time. It was Gong Luming and the national team coaching staff who defied public opinion and insisted on their own opinions, and finally gave Zhou Peng the opportunity to go home to visit his daughter. This Asian Championship is also remembered by more people because of this flash of humanity.

In 2015, Gong Luming tried to ask the Basketball Association for a contract, but the contract included responsibilities, rights, and obligations, but never talked about interests. After that, Gong Luming began to receive a training subsidy of about 10,000 yuan per month.

You must know that the salary of the coach of the Chinese Olympic men's and women's basketball team is 70,000 yuan a month, and even the head coach of the national youth team has a salary of more than 30,000 yuan a month.

Gong Luming was paid far less than theirs, but he was under much heavier pressure.

The leaders of the Basketball Association also said to Gong Luming: "I will do it for nothing in 2014", but in order to appease Gong Luming's emotions, the Basketball Association promised to give Gong Luming a bonus of 2 million yuan after winning the championship, but this promise was not fulfilled in the end.

Because the Basketball Association only applied for awards for the women's basketball team in advance at that time, and did not expect the men's basketball team to win the championship in the Asian Championships, it did not apply for awards for the men's basketball team. In fact, when Gong Luming took over the men's basketball team, there were still quite a few people with the mentality of "watching jokes", ready to watch Gong Luming make a fool of himself in the handsome position.

And the 2 million bonus is also considered by Gong Luming to be a commitment to the men's basketball players. Until this year, Gong Luming also repeatedly communicated with the Basketball Association in the hope of returning the 2 million bonus, but the Basketball Association has never been able to cash it in, which has also become the fuse for him to fall out with the Basketball Association.

Gong Luming is an "honest person", and sometimes he is not willing to quarrel with others for things other than principles, and it is for this reason that Gong Luming is often "bullied" by the Basketball Association.

In order to concentrate on preparing for the Asian Championships, Gong Luming always chose to forbear in the face of these contradictions, and after winning the Asian Championships, this contradiction finally became more apparent.

Now that the men's basketball team has won the championship, Gong Luming also hopes that he can get a salary that matches his efforts, but the voice of "Gong Luming is not short of money" from the Basketball Association also made him feel very unhappy.

Gong Luming is indeed not short of money, but this does not mean that the Basketball Association can not give a reward for his efforts, and there is obviously no reason to use such a statement to escape. And what Gong Luming needs most is not the high salary of more than one million, but a respect and recognition.

But from an objective point of view, the Basketball Association does have its own difficulties. Because in the recognition of the Basketball Association, Gong Luming has the dual identity of a national cadre and the head coach of the national team.

If Gong Luming is only regarded as the head coach of the national team, then of course he has the right to get a high salary of 150,000 monthly salary, and he can also enjoy various rewards. But just because Gong Luming is also a national cadre and a civil servant of the country, according to this standard, Gong Luming must abide by the salary standards of civil servants, and he cannot take an extra penny in the outside world.

However, judging from the fact of work, what Gong Luming has done has long gone beyond the scope of a civil servant, he has not sat at his desk all day answering the phone and writing reports, but has been fulfilling the duties of the head coach of the national team - sweating in training and games with his teammates, and always bearing huge mental pressure. Gong Luming has the name of a civil servant, but he is exercising the reality of a head coach. But even so, he still couldn't get the reward he deserved.

This kind of thing is just a concentrated microcosm in China, and the backwardness of the social management mechanism makes it impossible for many people to get the rewards that match their own labor. Concepts such as organization, identity, and belonging have invisibly drawn one prison after another, and you may have already surpassed them in what you have done, but for the identity of citizens, they are still as insurmountable as a prison.

It is reported that although the dual identity has put Gong Luming in an embarrassing situation, there are still workarounds to solve this problem.

In an interview with reporters, Gong Luming said: "The Finance Department (of the Basketball Management Center) has come up with a feasible plan, but they do not approve it, so they just blindly report to the superiors. I don't understand, you are the head coach when you are suffering and suffering from work, and you are a national cadre when you talk about treatment. I do feel sad, for the sake of basketball, we have abandoned our family and business, forgot to eat, and are willing to dedicate, but we do not get the respect and affirmation we deserve, I am doing the work of head coach, should I be paid accordingly? ”

But in the end, Gong Luming did not appear on this training list, which also proves that no one in the Basketball Association is really willing to stand up and take responsibility for solving this matter. Perhaps the method itself is very rigorous, but after all, there is still a need for a person to take responsibility, and unfortunately, this person did not appear in the end, nor did it before, and still does not exist.

Some people may think that the earth will still turn the same way without him, but at this moment, the importance of Gong Luming to the national team is beyond many people's imagination.

If Gong Luming finally fails to be the coach of the national team, it will undoubtedly have a great impact on the future development of the national team.

Many of the players who were selected by Gong Luming to join the national team and followed him to win back the championship together have established a deep relationship with Gong Luming. Some of them even said that if Gong Luming did not serve as the head coach, he would not play for the national team again.

Maybe this is just what young people say when they are emotional, but the Basketball Association has repeatedly delayed the announcement of the training camp list this time, and for this reason, the head coach has not been announced, which is undoubtedly a big harm to the national team's preparation this year.

Because the squad has not been released for a long time, many players have already formulated their own summer training plans and started to do it gradually. The national team is recruiting and training at this time, and the problems and contradictions that may arise in the future are completely predictable.

Just two years ago at the Incheon Asian Games, Gong Luming once said that the real results of these national team players will not be until the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. It's just that I don't know if Gong Luming will be the one who will lead them to fight at that time.

The contradiction between Gong Luming and the Basketball Association is in an uproar, but it can't hide the questions of careful people about this list.

The list was two months late, and the manager was still not chosen. So the question is, there are no managers, who drew up this list?

According to past experience, the squad of the Chinese men's basketball team should be decided by the head coach and the coaching staff, and then reported to the Chinese Basketball Association.

As of now, the relationship between Gong Luming and the Basketball Association is still in a stalemate. On the question of whether to be the manager or not, neither side has given a clear answer.

Although, judging from the list released by the Basketball Association, except for Yi Feng, the remaining 23 of these 24 people are indeed the most combative players in the CBA at present, and they are also from many very competitive teams in the CBA.

Among these players, they are either the absolute core of the CBA teams, or the all-star level players, or the potential stars of the Chinese men's basketball team in the future......

But is it really reasonable for the Basketball Association to determine and announce the men's basketball training list in advance without the coach being determined?

Can they ensure that the list announced is the most perfect roster in the minds of the next coach of the men's basketball team? Moreover, who the coach of the Chinese team is has not yet been decided, who is the choice of this list, the Basketball Association?

Finally, there is another question that has to be mentioned, that is, Zhang Chunjun, the grassroots player who performed most eye-catching in this year's CBA Finals, is not in this list.

In this year's finals, Zhang Chunjun became the wonder soldier of the Sichuan team, cutting boards per game, and was the fourth scoring point of Sichuan's three foreign aids. In terms of individual efficiency, Zhang Chunjun also beat other domestic players, ranking seventh in the finals efficiency list with 138 and second among local players.

Moreover, any fan who has watched the finals knows that Zhang Chunjun's eye-catching performance in this finals is by no means in offensive firepower. His role on the defensive end is also vividly reflected, especially in the restriction of Liaoning's top scorer Hudson, Zhang Chunjun also performed very perfectly, limiting the latter's three-point shooting rate to about 3%.

When Wang Ruheng and Jia Cheng were both selected for the national team's training list, the counterattacker who killed all sides in the finals was blocked from the national team. It's really incomprehensible.

Could it be because of his "grassroots" background? Could it be because he is not the so-called "descendant" who came all the way from the national youth team?

What is intriguing is that because Wang Ruheng and Jia Cheng, who are also friends of Zhang Chunjun, did not perform as well as Zhang Chunjun in the CBA finals, they were finally selected for this training squad.

Wang Ruheng was selected for the second national youth team in 2007, while Jia Cheng was selected for the national Olympic team last year.

Could it be that this is because of seniority? (To be continued.) )
