The Chinese delegation’s football, volleyball, and basketball events all missed the Tokyo Olympics medals
It will take time for the three major goals to stop Tokyo to reserve talents
On July 27, the Chinese women’s volleyball team lost to the Dutch team with a 2:8 score. One draw and two losses ended the group stage and were eliminated. On August 2, the Chinese women’s volleyball team ended the Tokyo Olympics ahead of schedule with a record of two wins and three losses in the group stage. Journey; On August 4, the Chinese women’s basketball team lost 70-77 to the Serbian team, stopping the 1/4 finals of the Tokyo Olympics women’s basketball team. As China’s “three big ball” men’s team collectively missed the Olympic Games, the Chinese delegation’s football, volleyball, and basketball teams all missed the Tokyo Olympics medals.
The “three big goals” record is not good. If you want to arouse your confidence in your own rise and respond to the fans’ expectations, perhaps you should first analyze and summarize the internal causes of backwardness from a deep level. Domestication is a direction to make up for the lack of talents, but the real future is “the integration of sports and education.” Although relevant departments have begun substantive actions, it takes time to witness the results.
Is the women’s football affected by the 16 years and 14 handsome?
If “Lang Ping’s curtain call” is sad, and the Chinese women’s basketball missed the semi-finals is embarrassing, then the Chinese women’s football team in this Olympics has given the Chinese people more sadness. Like the “0 to 8” at the Athens Olympics 17 years ago, the “2 to 8” at the Tokyo Olympics is equally stunning.
At the Suzhou Olympic Sports Center on April 13, after the second round of the Olympic preliminaries play-offs, the Chinese women’s football team took the last train of the Tokyo Olympics. Although the match scene was obviously at a disadvantage at the time, Wang Shuang scored twice in a critical moment to seal the victory. In the women’s football match against Zambia in the current Olympic Games, Wang Shuang, who has won four yuan, is still impressive.
Judging from the actual situation, it is not realistic to expect Wang Shuang to continue to be in the qualifiers and races to “cover a hundred ugliness with one handsome”. Almost at the same time that the team lost five goals in the first game to Brazil, the official announcement of Tang Jiali’s stay in the Premier League came from China. The plan for Chinese players to study abroad has been restarted, and three women players including Shen Monroe and Tang Jiali have successively implemented study abroad. An official FIFA statistics show that the financial support received by Chinese women’s football is currently in a leading position in the world. The scale and brand appeal of the domestic women’s super and women’s leagues are also among the best in the world. From this point of view, the Chinese women’s football team does not lack support.
Then, there must be other reasons behind the performance of the Chinese women’s football in this Olympics. After the team was out, someone pointed the finger at the head coach Jia Xiuquan. Objectively speaking, being able to lead the team to win the third place in the Asian Cup, the second place in the Asian Games and advance to the Tokyo Olympic Games, Jia Xiuquan has shown a certain amount of coaching ability and has also made great efforts for this team.
The issue of employment may only be superficial. Jia Xiuquan took over the Chinese women’s football team in June 2018, but is the team’s 14th head coach in the past 16 years. In other words, this women’s football team has experienced turbulence from time to time in the course of the past nearly 20 years. If the “0 to 8” confusion started with turmoil, then who can deny that the Chinese women’s football team has not been affected by the previous turmoil?
An industry insider who has been engaged in women’s football for many years commented that different coaches have different tactical ideas, showing different levels and characteristics of personality charm and command and coordination capabilities. As a head coach, even if you cannot be nepotism, you must at least use players you can trust. No matter what choice Jia Xiuquan makes, from the point of view of the head coach responsibility system, it is normal.
Whether it is the sincerity and strength of the project support, or the trust and decentralization of the women’s football coaching staff, it is difficult for the outside world to blame the Chinese Football Association for inaction. The women’s football coaching staff needs to explore the reasons for the failure from its own work level and assume due responsibilities. In the past few years, the unclear development direction of Chinese women’s football has brought about the uncertainty of the team building mode and management mode, which also created obstacles for the team to move forward. Such responsibility obviously should not be borne by Jia Xiuquan alone. Similar responsibilities are not borne by the head coach.
Why does the men’s basketball team only have stars but no results?
There is a saying in the Chinese basketball circle, “Women’s basketball is needed for performance, and men’s basketball is for celebrities.” Chinese women’s basketball star Miao Lijie once told a reporter from Beijing Youth Daily: “Every international competition, the results of the women’s basketball. The requirements are very high, but the outside world pays very little attention to us.” In the previous Olympic Games, the Chinese women’s basketball team had the best silver medal, but the Chinese men’s basketball team had the best place to enter the top eight.
At the Tokyo Olympics, after the Chinese men’s basketball team missed the Olympics for the first time in the history of the Chinese men’s basketball team, the attention of the outside world turned more to women’s basketball and three-person basketball. Objectively speaking, although the Chinese women’s basketball team failed to enter the semi-finals in the Tokyo Olympics, their victory in the group stage and the spirits demonstrated in the process are worthy of respect, and they are also to a certain extent. China defended the glory of Chinese basketball. China’s three women’s basketball team on the podium is undoubtedly a reward for many years of preparation and investment in this project. However, whether the men’s basketball team is a five-man basketball or a three-man basketball team are far from the previous investment and expectations, this situation may be difficult to effectively improve in the short term.
For the Chinese men’s basketball team, it has shown a very unequal state in recent years. The CBA has been developing rapidly in terms of professionalism, attention, reputation, etc., but at the same time, the performance of the Chinese men’s basketball team has been in a straight line. Decline. Two years ago, they sat on the biggest advantage of the host, but suffered a horrible defeat in the World Cup. This is undoubtedly the most painful setback of Chinese basketball. It can also be seen from the loss of the Olympic Games that the gap between the Chinese men’s basketball team and the European teams is getting bigger and bigger.
Previously, the Chinese men’s basketball team was able to win Olympic tickets through the Asian Championships, but since the introduction of the World Cup and Asian Cup points after the Rio Olympics, the Chinese men’s basketball team wants to enter the Olympic Games much lower probability than before.
How to change the problems and situation of the Chinese men’s basketball team, allowing more players to go out, exercise at a higher level, and accelerate their growth is perhaps the most effective method. Look at the Japanese men’s basketball team. At the same time, the issue of naturalized players may also be discussed again.

“Integration of sports and education” is more “cure the root cause” than domestication
The weakness of China’s three major balls in the international arena is actually no longer a topic of the Tokyo Olympics. As early as before and after the London Olympics, the National Sports General Administration had already put forward the statement that “the three major balls should be revitalized”. At that time, almost all localities focused on talent training in traditional Chinese sports such as table tennis, weightlifting, diving, badminton, and gymnastics. For the men’s football and men’s basketball, the two highly market-oriented projects, the task of talent training is directly handed over to the market.
The long training period for talents in collective ball games, low success rate, and low possibility of achieving results in the Olympics have forced the leaders of the provincial and municipal sports bureaus to calculate their own “small accounts” in terms of capital investment. In the end, the Chinese Super League and the CBA League have gradually become “castles in the sky” due to a shortage of talents. The salaries of top players are getting higher and higher, but the base of the entire talent pyramid is getting weaker and weaker.
Starting in 2019, it has become a fast and effective way to make up for shortcomings of talents by naturalizing outstanding competitive talents, but the talent reserve of competitive sports still needs to be completed by an effective training system.
In fact, the managers of Chinese football and basketball have realized the significance of truly integrating with the education sector. The “fusion of sports and education” in the talent training of the three major projects has become closer than ever before.
According to a reporter from the Beijing Youth Daily, the leaders of the Chinese Football Association and the Chinese Basketball Association are working with the Ministry of Education and the relevant leaders of the China Middle School Student Sports Association to plan “sports and education integration”, hoping to form a new Chinese collective ball sports talent training system. In the past, some national youth events held separately by the two departments of sports and education have gradually merged into one, forming a real synergy.
“Integration of sports and education” may be the fundamental solution that can be found to solve the stubborn problems of the three major balls, but it will take at least two or three generations of efforts to truly recover. “For a long time to work” is undoubtedly the motto most needed by China’s three major balls.

Reporter’s Quick Comment
The three big balls bid farewell to the stadium and there are Olympic dreams in my heart
On August 4, as the Chinese women’s basketball team lost to the European champion Serbia in the quarter-finals of the Tokyo Olympics and missed the semi-finals, China’s three major goals have all bid farewell to the Olympics. From the Chinese women’s football team that ended their Tokyo trip with the worst record in history, to the Chinese women’s volleyball team that failed to qualify in the group stage and failed to defend their title, to the Chinese women’s basketball team that stopped in the quarter-finals on the field of master Rulin, these three women’s teams It is the responsibility of China’s three major balls in this Olympics. They have supported China’s three major balls for a whole day, but they can only accept the fate of returning home in advance.
Although the Chinese Army continues to report good news about the competition for gold and silver at the Tokyo Olympics, the death of the three balls is a long-lasting regret in people’s hearts, because people always have unlimited expectations for the three balls, especially these. The women’s team that has experienced a glorious past.
In April of this year, as the Chinese women’s football team won a ticket to the Tokyo Olympics, together with the Chinese women’s basketball team and the Chinese women’s volleyball team, the Chinese women’s “three major goals” gathered in Tokyo. At that time, people were feeling that women were not allowed to bear eyebrows. These girls shouldered the expectations of the Chinese women’s collective ball game, and even when the men’s three major balls were collectively down, they propped up the entire sky. The best results of the Chinese women’s football team and the Chinese women’s basketball team in the Olympics are both runners-up. The Chinese women’s volleyball team has stood on the Olympic champion podium three times.
However, Tokyo is not destined to be the stage where China’s three major balls bloom. The Chinese women’s football team only scored 1 point in the group stage, and even suffered two disastrous defeats in the face of the Brazilian women’s football and the Dutch women’s football, and finally left the field sadly. “Try your best” is the most helpless and final expression of the women’s football girl before leaving the Tokyo Olympic Games. The Chinese women’s volleyball team started the road to defending the title with the expectations of the Chinese people, but they failed to pass the group stage. With the singing of “Sunshine Always After the Storm”, the women’s volleyball girls completed the curtain call of the Tokyo Olympics. , They bowed deeply to the meritorious coach Lang Ping. The Chinese women’s basketball team is the farthest among the three teams, but it has also stopped in the quarterfinals.
There will always be successes and failures. To withstand the praise and rewards at the peak, it is necessary to withstand the loneliness and unwillingness at the bottom. Success makes people excited, but failure is even more unforgettable. Only by not forgetting the failure will one day return to the glory that belongs to them. We once felt that they were lucky and dreamed of chasing after them. They are also extraordinary. Hard work and hard work are an eternal tradition. Today, we are worried about their defeat. The three big balls leave everyone with a unique story, both pain and joy.
Saying goodbye to the Olympics at this time, they will have the next Olympic dream in their hearts. The rising stars of the three major goals may still carry the banner of their predecessors in the future. The Olympics not only taught people how to pursue their dreams and enjoy victory, but also taught people how to accept failure and start all over again.
