Top trending! Yang Ming resigns! The team suffers a 4-game losing streak, scoring only 4 points in a single quarter, becoming the tipping point.

Last night, Liaoning suffered a humiliating 59-78 away loss to Xinjiang, scoring only 4 points in the final quarter, marking a shameful record in team history.

In contrast, Guo Ailun scored 12 points in the last quarter against Qingdao, leading his team to win. Playing like a foreign star, the old Audi is still the Audi.

This cross-match comparison strikes as hard as a direct punch.

Competitive sports also cannot avoid the ultimate heartbreaking truth of life: the greatest fear is when your “former” is doing better than you...

Against this backdrop, the news of Liaoning’s head coach Yang Ming voluntarily resigning after four consecutive losses has become a hot topic.

His replacement is still the Spanish coach, Hugo.

So, what does Di Ge think about this?

Not hindsight, but remember during Liaoning’s three consecutive championships, some brothers asked in the comments:

“What do you think about Yang Ming’s coaching ability?”

At that time, I quoted the classic line from “Er Jiu”:

“The most important thing in life isn’t being dealt a good hand, but playing a bad hand well.”

Why do many people think Spoelstra is great in the NBA? Not just because he led the Heat’s Big Three to a championship, but because he took a group of “underdog” players all the way to the finals.

Compared to its peak, isn’t the current Liaoning team basically holding a “bad hand”?

In this process, as head coach, he must bear responsibility.

From Wells leaving the court in tears, to Zhao Jiwei walking off immediately after the game, to Wells’ distracted gaze, the team has shown signs of losing control.

If the team spirit falls apart, it becomes even harder to manage the squad.

However, can you use this to prove Yang Ming lacks coaching ability? That would be biased as well.

It’s like the Golden State Warriors’ 15-50 record in the 2019-20 season — can you say Steve Kerr is terrible? (Even though he was heavily criticized at the time...)

The so-called “dynasty hangover” is something no team can avoid.

Aging roster, lack of young talent.

Han Dejun’s retirement, Zhang Zhenlin’s transfer, Guo Ailun’s departure — the core structure of the team has collapsed, and young players struggle to step up.

The new recruits, from Wang Lanqin to Jiang Yuxing, have fallen far short of expectations...

But none of these are the fundamental reasons.

Liaoning currently ranks only 13th — why such a poor performance?

Club investment.

The team’s foreign players average only 29.9 points per game, second to last, just 3 points ahead of Sichuan.

Guangdong’s foreign players average 56 points per game, the top in the CBA.

How is Ningbo so strong this season? Their foreign players average nearly 55 points.

After winning three consecutive championships, as a private enterprise team, can Liaoning’s owner still invest like before?

At least judging by the quality of foreign players, it’s a big letdown... With the current level, do you think Spoelstra or Carlisle could manage it well?

Liaoning’s present situation might well become the future for CBA private teams: simply can’t compete.

If one day Zhao Jiwei gets traded, fans shouldn’t be surprised.

Therefore, under such circumstances, Yang Ming’s resignation isn’t a loss for him but rather a relief.

Especially considering Liaoning’s unique history and struggle.

The team has attracted many fans emotionally connected to Liaoning, but with more hopes and expectations comes extra invisible pressure.

Among the 20 head coaches in the CBA, Liaoning’s coach faces the greatest pressure — from the owner, sports bureau, fans, and post-game media meetings.

Many fans might not understand that having a core that won four championships is already extremely impressive.

Why can’t they handle losing four games in a row?

Rather than that, for Yang Ming, it’s better to choose to “join in”!

One day in the future, we might see him start a Douyin live stream:

“Brothers, if you like Liaoning, please give some follows! Let’s do a little business!”

With his popularity and eloquence, this job would be easy and the income won’t be small...
