[Leden’s training camp in Serbia has not yet communicated with Shougang to return to the new season]]
Currently, Shou-gang men’s basketball team is in the holiday phase, and preparations for the new season will begin in early June as planned. Previously, Zhang Yunsong, the executive deputy general manager, said that the team hoped to complete the determination of the coach before the team assembled. At present, Shougang has several coach plans, including whether Leyden will continue to serve as the coach of next season or other coaches.
The reporter of Beijing Youth Daily understands that according to some current information, it is not very likely that Leiden will continue to lead the team as the coach. Currently, Leiden is organizing training camps in Serbia. Whether Leiden will return to Shougang in the new season or choose other teams should not make a decision in the near future.
Leiden became the team’s acting manager in the late third stage of the regular season this season. After Leiden took office, Shougang did not press the rhythm before, mainly focusing on the attacking method of the position, and no longer dominated the concept of winning the defense. Instead, they fought back quickly and completed the attack quickly in the counterattack. Shougang’s style has changed greatly, and the effect is also ideal.
In the 7 regular season matches taught by Leiden, Shougang scored 6 wins and 1 loss. In the 4 playoff games, Shougang scored 2 wins and 2 losses. Although Shougang failed to go further in the playoffs, at least it was finally ranked sixth, which was acceptable to the outside world. Objectively speaking, the biggest change Lyden brought to Shougang is definitely not technical and tactical, but style.
Leiden took over the team at that time and had no time to reform and improve the technical and tactical aspects. Leyden provided the players with enough freedom of attack. Shougang, whose attack was suppressed before, also played their normal level of attack in such an environment. Players like Fang Shuo and Zhu Yanxi further magnify their advantages. However, the problem is that the performance of the team leader this season does not fully reflect Leiden’s coaching ability. Whether he is really suitable for Shougang needs further demonstration.
At the media exchange meeting after Shougang’s men’s basketball season, Zhang Yunsong, executive deputy general manager of Shougang Club, said: “Our current task is to build the coaching team for next season. This needs to be considered in a comprehensive way, combined with opinions from various aspects, discussed with insiders, and made clear the development direction of the team’s skills and tactics in the future, and what kind of coach conforms to the characteristics of the club. It should be said that this matter is very difficult and needs to be done carefully.”
According to the reporter of Beijing Youth Daily, it is not very likely that laideng will continue to serve as boss of Shougang men’s basketball. At present, Leiden and Shougang men’s basketball have not communicated much about the new season. Leiden returned to Serbia after the season ended, and he is now preparing for his training camp. This training camp has gathered many excellent players and young talents in the world.
Leiden should not decide where to coach next season in the near future. There are two reasons for this. The first is that the European season is currently underway and it will not be possible to sign a contract with the coach until June and July. The second CBA currently has a relatively low time to choose foreign teachers.
