after seeing the current situation of former men's basketball coach li yaguang, i understood why liu guoliang was so crazy about training new players for the national table tennis team. both of them have unique "methods".

01

during the olympics, my country won a total of 40 gold medals. behind this good result, there is not only the hard work of the athletes, but also the contribution of the coaches behind them.

otherwise, athletes would not hug their coaches immediately after winning.

for athletes, coaches are the people who spend the longest time with them and are the closest to them.

the former head coach of the women's basketball team, li yaguang, was like a family member in the hearts of the athletes at the time, but who would have thought that he, who clearly had a winning hand, would end up with such a sad ending.

perhaps if he had been able to be a good coach for the national team back then, he would not have ended up like this in his later years.

in his early years, li yaguang could be said to be an extremely outstanding athlete in the men's basketball team. he was the first offensive guard in the men's basketball team. he had comprehensive skills and was full of fighting spirit.

at that time, he could be called a "workaholic", and he was particularly glad that he had chosen the path of basketball.

born in a military compound, he has practiced various sports since he was a child, including table tennis, volleyball, etc., but he has a special liking for basketball.

seeing how much he loves basketball, his parents sent their son to a professional training team. after professional training, he grew very fast.

in a short period of time, he has developed excellent breakthrough ability, and it is just a matter of time before he becomes an excellent attacking defender.

later, at the age of 19, he joined the provincial team, but the team's performance at that time was really embarrassing. however, since he joined, the team's strength has instantly increased.

it is enough to show that he is really capable. it is this strong strength that allowed him to be successfully selected for the chinese men's basketball national youth team and achieve good results in the asian youth championship.

because of his excellence, he was finally noticed and sent to the united states for special training.

at that time, being able to go abroad was an extremely proud thing, and he did not waste this rare opportunity. after training seriously in the united states, he was selected for the national team when he returned to china.

in 1984, the chinese men's basketball team participated in the olympic games for the first time, and li yaguang's name was on the men's basketball roster. he performed extremely well on the court.

it can be said that he was recognized by the public at that time. with his help, the men's basketball team won two victories. although they failed to enter the finals, being able to enter the top ten in the first game was also a good result.

after the olympics, he was more confident about participating in the world championships, but the national team did not hold out much hope for this competition. after all, the main point guard was injured and was replaced by the 1.66-meter-tall gong luming.

but when they got to the competition field, an unexpected scene appeared. the partnership between li yaguang and gong luming actually brought out unlimited potential.

driven by the two of them, the entire team seemed to be reborn, and eventually won a good result of ninth place, breaking the record at that time.

at that time, he was named "best offensive guard" by the media.

just when fans were thinking about watching his sports career reach the next level, something unexpected happened.

02

in his early years, he was so busy with his career that he had no time to care about love. later, after he achieved certain success in the basketball world, he had time to interact with others.

when he was 29 years old, he got married to badminton player liang yu. the following year, their daughter was born, but at that time there were only six days left until the seoul olympics.

it was originally thought that li yaguang would win the championship in one fell swoop, but who would have thought that the men's basketball team would only get 11th place and return. it is really hard to accept.

because she had a daughter, liang yu officially retired and returned to the sichuan provincial team to coach.

although li yaguang wanted to continue his basketball career at this time, as he grew older and there were personnel changes in the men's basketball team, he began to think about retiring.

so from the end of 1990, he became the head coach of the chinese women's basketball team.

it is said that a new official will make three big moves upon taking office, and that was indeed the case with him. he changed his coaching ideas as soon as he took office.

at that time, zheng haixia was the most valued player in the women's basketball team. because of her outstanding abilities, most of the points on the court were scored by her.

but li does not allow this. no one person can do everything. every player on the field must compete for points.

not only that, his training methods and intensity were so extreme that the athletes complained bitterly. some even found it difficult to accept this training model and considered quitting.

when someone asked to leave the team, he didn't care. in his opinion, a truly strong team can do without anyone, and no one is allowed to be treated specially.

even the mainstay zheng haixia is no match for him.

at that time, zheng haixia was particularly dissatisfied with the coach's guidance and finally left the national team. but after a short time, she found that the women's basketball team could still achieve good results on the court without her.

at this point, she completely understood coach li and knew that there was nothing wrong with the opponent's tactics, so she took the initiative to find the coach to resolve the previous conflict.

this shows that li yaguang’s coaching was also very successful.

facts proved to be true. in the subsequent olympics, the women's basketball team successfully won the silver medal. although it was still a little short of coach li's goal, this result was obviously very good.

if he had stopped there, he might have had a reputation as a good coach and a good athlete, but unfortunately that was not the case.

03

later, he officially took up the position of deputy director of the sichuan sports commission, mainly responsible for shooting and water sports. during his one-year tenure, these projects achieved major breakthroughs.

later, the sichuan sports team won six gold medals during the 8th national games.

for him, as the deputy director, such political achievements are extremely outstanding, and he also did a lot of practical work during the years he served in office.

but who would have thought that five years after his retirement, it was revealed that he had made many mistakes during his years as an official, and had long since betrayed his original intention and the mission he was carrying.

not only was he expelled from the party, but all his post-retirement benefits were also forfeited.

a legendary figure was thus deified, but when his current situation was exposed, it seemed clear why liu guoliang wanted to train new athletes.

when li yaguang was a coach, he always advocated that all athletes should improve their own level and ensure that no matter who was missing from the team, they could still participate in the competition normally.

the same is true for the national table tennis team. everyone knows who are the pillars of the national table tennis team in recent years, but as these athletes grow older, most of them will retire.

at that time, the national table tennis team needed new players to take over, so the national table tennis team has been training and adjusting the new athletes.

look at the abilities and mentality of new athletes from various major competitions. after all, when athletes have trained to a certain level, what is tested is no longer their personal abilities, but whether their mentality is stable.

now, new forces of the chinese national table tennis team have emerged, and we will be able to see their performance in the upcoming wtt competition in macau.

in this respect, liu guoliang and li yaguang are similar. after all, anything can happen on the court.

at the competition, ding ning suddenly suffered a back injury, so sun yingsha was asked to play temporarily. this is how the world's number one player, sasha, was able to "break through the siege."

but then again, the lives of athletes after retirement have caused a lot of controversy. some athletes have achieved success after retirement, but some athletes have fallen into depravity as a result.

before making any major decisions, you still need to think carefully.
