Yang Yi responds to Li Meng missing the Asian Cup: Gong Luming s way of employing people and misunderstandings in the basketball world

Recently, the incident of Li Meng missing the Asian Cup in the Women's Basketball Team has attracted widespread attention and heated discussion. Basketball commentator Yang Yi conducted an in-depth analysis of this matter on the show. His views not only provide the public with a new perspective, but also give us a deeper understanding of the complex ecology of Chinese basketball. Yang Yi pointed out that many people blame Coach Gong Luming on social media, but these people obviously know nothing about Li Meng's competitive state, the history of Chinese basketball and Gong Luming's past achievements. As a star player of the Chinese women's basketball team, Li Meng's absence surprised and regretted many fans. However, Yang Yi emphasized that Gong Luming has always adhered to strict employment standards during the coaching process. Whether it is management or training, as long as it does not meet the requirements, even veterans with outstanding military achievements may not be able to stay. This is not aimed at Li Meng personally, but Gong Luming's usual coaching style and principles.

Gong Luming's status and achievements in the Chinese basketball industry are obvious to all. He has coached the Chinese men's basketball team and women's basketball team twice, and each time he faces the challenge of team update and iteration. Under his leadership, Chinese basketball has achieved many brilliant results. Yang Yi believes that Gong Luming's employment decision is based on the overall interests and long-term development of the team, and there is no selfish desire. In the team sport of basketball, coaches need to adjust their lineups according to different games and opponents to ensure that the team can perform at the best level in the game. However, the public's reaction to Li Meng's missed the Asian Cup also reflects some problems in the Chinese basketball industry. On the one hand, fans' understanding of players and coaches often stays on the surface, and lacks an in-depth understanding of the entire basketball ecology and competitive laws. On the other hand, the rapid development of social media has made information dissemination more rapidly, but it is also easy to lead to one-sidedness and extremeness of public opinion. In this case, some false remarks and misunderstandings can cause unnecessary stress and harm to the players and coaches.

Li Meng's missed the Asian Cup may be a regret, but from another perspective, this is also a case worth thinking about in the development of Chinese basketball. It reminds us that as fans and practitioners, we need to look at basketball games and players’ performance more rationally. At the same time, we should also respect coaches’ employment decisions and understand the complex situations they face in team building and management. Gong Luming's way of employing people may cause controversy in the short term, but in the long run, his decision is for the future development of the Chinese women's basketball team. We look forward to the Chinese women's basketball team being able to continuously update and iterate under the guidance of Gong Luming, cultivate more excellent players, and inject new vitality into the development of Chinese basketball. As Yang Yi said, Gong Luming's achievements and personality are well-known in the industry, and we should give him more trust and support, rather than unreasonable accusations and doubts.
