On February 24th, 2020, at 65438, when Wang Bo took the position of head coach of CBA for the first time, he evaluated himself with "nervousness" after losing the game.

At that time, most of the public opinion outside was watching the "rookie" Jong and his Zhejiang Guangsha.

Now, 15 months have passed, Zhejiang Guangsha has not fallen out of the strong team, and Wang Bo has also proved his value with a trophy of the best coach of the year.

On March 29th, CBA officially announced the award of this season's regular season-Wang Bo beat Vivienne Liu, Du Feng and Qiu Biao, and won the title of coach of the year for the first time in his career.

Wang Bo was chosen as the best coach.

This season, he won 3 1 7 losses in the regular season, leading Zhejiang Guangsha to rank second in the regular season with a winning percentage of 8 1.6% ... You know, this is only the first full season after Wang Bo took over Zhejiang Guangsha.

"Wise and elegant, congratulations to Wang Bo for his guidance." After Wang Bo was elected, the official of Zhejiang Guangsha wrote this congratulatory letter on social network.

From "nervousness and panic" to "elegance and wisdom", what kind of magic does Wang Bo, the 40-year-old coach, have, which makes the team not only return to the semi-finals in a short period of 15 months, but also become a favorite for CBA to win the championship again?

Wang Bo made the Guangsha team make progress.

"Real Name" in Dispute Selection

Every season after the CBA regular season, the selection of various awards always causes a lot of controversy, and so does this season.

Compared with the previous doubts about the MVP selection in the regular season, the focus of this controversy falls on the "coach of the year".

Yang Ming, the coach of Liaoning Men's Basketball Team, who ranked first in the regular season, and Li Chunjiang, who won the third place in Hong Kong this season, were not included in the list of four coaches: Wang Bo, Vivienne Liu, Du Feng and Qiu Biao.

According to the selection rules of CBA Company's "Best Coach of the Year", Yang Ming and Li Chunjiang have more or less problems of "competition and discipline" and finally missed the list. ...

Under the controversy and doubt, in today's list, Wang Bo's victory is well deserved.

In addition to leading Zhejiang Guangsha to 3 1 win and 7 losses, helping the team jump from the seventh place in the league last season to the second place in the regular season, Zhejiang Guangsha also completed the "double play" with defending champion Guangdong men's basketball team and derby opponent Zhejiang Chouzhou this season.

Although the match with Shenzhen Men's Basketball Team won or lost, judging from the record, coach Wang Bo won five more games than coach Qiu Biao.

Wang Bo and Yang Ming joked with each other on the sidelines.

It is worth mentioning that if you enter the name of coach Wang Bo in the search engine, it is not difficult to find that at the beginning of the season, commentators and fans predicted that "Zhejiang Guangsha may soon fall out of the top four" and "Wang Bo is likely to be the first coach to finish class this season". ...

In fact, Wang Bo is not a good coach in public. Whether he is conducting on the sidelines or at the press conference after the game, he will not talk too much about outside doubts. However, it is such a calm and elegant young coach, with the "aggressive" Zhejiang Guangsha on the court, who is stable in the top four of the league and even once ranked first in the regular season record.

In the end, the trophy of the best coach in the regular season became Wang Bo's most powerful counterattack against all doubts.

Zhao became the sixth person in Guangsha.

Rebuilding "Guangsha Three Less"

Since he was appointed as the team coach at the crucial moment last season, it is reasonable that Wang Bo was not favored at the beginning of the team.

Before coach Li Chunjiang left Zhejiang Guangsha, the champion coach had formed a relatively mature lineup in several seasons. Wang Bo, as the first head coach, took over the "full-size count" from the fans, and to a certain extent, followed the tactical style and competition strategy of "internal dominance and external assistance" initiated by coach Li Chunjiang.

However, the change of Wang Bo from taking over halfway to completing his first full season in Zhejiang Guangsha is obvious to the naked eye.

Three-pointers are not an offensive weapon in Guangsha, Zhejiang Province, but according to the official data given by CBA-this season, the average number of three-pointers hit in Guangsha, Zhejiang Province reached 10.8, and the three-pointer hit rate reached 39.4%.

You know, a season ago, this data of Zhejiang Guangsha was only 34.6%.

Moreover, compared with Li Chunjiang's Zhejiang Guangsha, the number of assists of the team has greatly improved, ranking sixth in the league with 26,438+0 times per game.

Instruct Hu.

In addition to the team's rich offensive means and the maturity of team basketball, another important factor for Wang Bo to help this Zhejiang Guangsha return to the top four of the league is to create a healthy "three-less" combination.

In fact, since he became a temporary coach last season, Zhao has been made to take on the offensive and defensive responsibilities of the team a little bit. Not only that, he also tried to use veteran Feng Xin to help Sun Minghui, the core of the backcourt, decompress.

This season, another bold attempt is to make Zhao the "sixth man" of the team, and arrange him to lead the team in the defense line and separately most of the time.

In addition, the joining of two front lines and inside foreign aid, plus, also helped Hu share the pressure inside.

Hu he

As a result, Hu's playing time has changed from 35.6 minutes last season to 3 1.6 minutes this season. Although his scoring and rebounding dropped slightly, he still achieved the MVP in the regular season.

Sun Minghui's playing time was reduced from 33 minutes to 29 minutes. Although his score decreased by 1 point, his assists per game increased by nearly 1 time, and he was finally selected as the best team of domestic players.

Ye Zhao played 28 minutes from 33 minutes last season, but his 3-pointer percentage increased from 39.8% last year to 42% today.

The direct changes brought by the decompression of Guangsha's "Three Less" are not only the improvement of various data and efficiency, but also the guarantee of the health and stability of the three core players.

Angry at the referee's decision, Zhu stepped forward to dissuade him.

He trained a new generation of Guangsha.

Dare to let the team "three less" reduce playing time, not only because of Wang Bo's courage, but also because of his trust and reuse of the team's young players. These young players from Zhejiang Guangsha also rewarded Wang Bo with their performances.

The 22-year-old Zhu is one of the biggest surprises that Zhejiang Guangsha brought to the league this season.

In the regular season, all 37 games were started, and the playing time reached 3 1 minute, which was better than Zhao Du in the "Three Less". His average points and rebounds doubled from last season, reaching 9.8 points and 5.3 rebounds, and his shooting percentage and three-point shooting percentage increased by more than 16% and 1 1% respectively.

According to the data model calculation, Zhu, with a cumulative contribution of 5.73 points, appeared in the "MVP in regular season" candidate list; The added value of his performance quality reached 3.83 points, which appeared in the list of "the most improved players"; Not only that, he is also a frontcourt player candidate in the selection of the best team.

In addition to Zhu, the 2 1 year-old license has become the main rotation of the team's defense line, helping to share the pressure; The 23-year-old Zhao Jiaren and Zhao Jiayi brothers are also the main rotation of the front line; There are also 20-year-old Ji Zhuo and 22-year-old Wu Xiao, who also have bright performances.

In the league, Zhejiang Guangsha, with an average age of 23, is second only to Zhejiang Chouzhou, with an average age of 22.

Young coaches know the hearts of young people better.

In this season's post-match press conference, Wang Bo will mention the performance of young players in almost every game, and in many cases, his evaluation of young players is mainly to spur and urge.

For example, after Zhejiang Guangsha 109 100 defeated Xinjiang, Wang Bo hit the nail on the head at the press conference. "Young players didn't give enough help to the main players and didn't give them enough rest time. They just waste opportunities on the court, throw waves and attack waves, make random mistakes and have no sense of responsibility at all. They regard the game as a game and are playing it. "

Elegant Wang Bo rarely scolds players on the sidelines. There have been several such scenes occasionally this season, all of which are guiding young players.

Last June, 5438+ 10, after Zhejiang Guangsha defeated Jiangsu Tongxi with a score of 18, someone asked Wang Bo why he was lecturing loudly. "Young players are like this. Give them playing time and they must be allowed to make mistakes. If there are mistakes, be sure to point them out and let them have a clear understanding. "

Wang Bo worked as a teaching assistant in Li Chunjiang for many years.

However, when the team really loses because of the ups and downs and mistakes of young players, Wang Bo will take all the responsibility on himself.

In fact, in the position of coach, Wang Bo is also a young newcomer. Like young players, he will make mistakes and make mistakes. For example, when Wang Bo took over the team's several games last season and was photographed on TV, he covered his face with his hands and kept shaking his head and bowing his head, revealing nervousness and a little panic.

But 15 months later, he has been able to show enough composure and wisdom on the court.

As a player, Wang Bo used to be the "invisible tiger" of Jilin in the mouth of fans. He always makes amazing performances on the court. Now, after eight years of teaching assistant experience, he has become a team coach, and Wang Bo has also brought this feature to his new career.

The second place in the regular season and the coach of the year is a "dream start" for Wang Bo's coaching career, but how to become a real "eagle" from a "rookie" coach, Wang Bo and his young people still need playoff experience.
