On July 21, the Chinese Basketball Association officially announced that Shi-Qiang Guo would become the head coach of the men’s national basketball team, preparing for the 2027 FIBA World Cup and the 2028 Los Angeles Olympic Games. From the CBA’s official announcement of Djordjevic’s departure to this point, a full two months have passed, which perhaps signifies that the procedures at the CBA level have met expectations, and after the completion of all warm-up games throughout the summer, higher-level leaders have conducted further evaluations.
The media personality, Chief Zhao, posted:
The Chinese Basketball Association emphasized in its official announcement regarding Coach Guo, “The Chinese Basketball Association will continue to adhere to the principle of ‘global perspective, international standards, Chinese characteristics, and high positioning’ when forming the team. We will benchmark against international advanced levels, assemble an international composite team, and build a Chinese men’s basketball team with excellent conduct, capable of fighting, advanced concepts, and distinctive features.”
We hope the CBA can follow through on their words. Good foreign coaches must be brought in. At the very least, they should expand the assistant coaching staff. The thinking must align with international standards.
The media personality, San Tu Dai Ci (Three Earth with Thorns), posted: I still maintain that we should choose a foreign coach in the future.
The media personality, Wang Jian, posted: The CBA officially announced that Shi-Qiang Guo would take up the role of head coach of the national team. This summer has been somewhat worrying.
The media personality, “I Yao Kan Qiu” (I Love Watching Games), posted: After ten consecutive losses in friendly matches, Uncle Guo is now officially appointed! Congratulations to Coach Shi-Qiang Guo for being officially named the head coach of the Chinese men’s basketball team! In that case, Uncle Guo is likely to give up his position as the coach of the Guangzhou team.
