(Kuala Lumpur, 26th) Enter Semir Sembilan in May this yearJin QunliThe former national player of the coaching teamTan Jianhongfinally ushered in his coaching debut.
Season 3 Malaysia U20Development AllianceThe basketball game will kick off tomorrow night, and Jin Qunli led by Tan Jianhong only has one game in the first week of the season (versus the killer whales); Tan Jianhong, who has retired from the national men’s basketball team since the end of the 2015 Singapore East Games, coaches full-time for the first time.
Just joined the team for 2 months and need time to learn about the players
He admitted that he was still learning how to become a coach. He said in an interview with Sin Chew Sports: “I am a novice coach. I have been on the team for two months and I am still getting to know the players. Let’s do it step by step.”
Tan Jianhong revealed in an interview that his player asked him during training, “Why don’t you scold us?”
It is not Tan Jianhong’s style to scold the players. He said: “I hope the players will enjoy the game and enjoy the fun of basketball. I believe that if they enjoy and are happy, they will naturally perform well.”
Demand for freedom of offense and absolute obedience
“Offshore, I let them play freely, but on the defensive, they have to listen to my instructions.”
“I tell them, I won’t scold you if you make a mistake, I will remind you that if you make a mistake, I will know where you are.”
In addition, Tan Jianhong set the team’s goal in the semi-finals, and Jin Qunli’s team has not been involved in the U20 Development League men’s championship in history.
The first champion Johor Nanhu, who fought in Group B with Kim Qunli, will play against the City Garden Heat in the opening game, and then play “back to back” against the wild marlins.
Defending champion A Qilin 2 games in the first week
In Group A, Gugani, who has always coached with a strict style, has won two games in the first week of the defending champion Malacca Kirin, against Pili team KeeMing and the Falcons.
Malaysia’s U16 national youth league will debut on Sunday. Although the gap between the ages of 16 and 20 is quite large, the well-trained national youth league still has the opportunity to “sweep” the igniting team; the national youth league hopes to participate in the competition through the cross-level competition and prepare for the Asian Cup hosted in Mongolia in August.
The women’s group’s first week’s one-man show, the first season champion Jin Qunli will face off against Kuala Lumpur Phoenix, and the defending army Selangor EST will debut next Sunday.
