Yang Yi got up close and personal with Yang Ming to unleash a big move! It went viral on trending searches! This moment was incredibly entertaining!

Guys, let’s discuss something fun today.

CBA head coaches, perhaps like our former PE teachers, often have less-than-ideal health.

Yang Ming, who resigned due to “health reasons,” is soon “reemployed”: back to commentary.

Since he’s “mainly in charge of being handsome,” he doesn’t have to worry about jobs.

On one hand, he has a championship-winning coaching record, and other teams have already invited him; on the other hand, continuing as a commentator or appearing on variety shows is also great—less work, more money, and less stress.

With his popularity, he has plenty of options to choose from.

Last night, I saw a trending topic: #Yang Yi gets up close and personal with Yang Ming to unleash a big move#.

Then I checked out Tencent Sports’ show “Must Have Ball,” and it was quite interesting.

The person who came up with this topic deserves a thumbs up...

If you had Yang Ming right after class directly respond to those issues, share opinions, or talk about the future...

That wouldn’t be appropriate.

Besides, with Coach Yang’s emotional intelligence, he wouldn’t say too much and would likely “smooth things over.”

However, this episode used the topic of whether NBA Warriors coach Kerr should resign, and with metaphors like “dynasty coaches must share both hardships and joys with their teams,” it clearly pointed at Yang Ming, who just stepped down from the Liaoning team...

That was quite a high-level move.

Talking about the Warriors and Kerr isn’t over the line, right?

Yang Yi used the Warriors as an example, emphasizing that “dynasty coaches should share glory and disgrace with their teams.”

He mentioned keywords like “three championships in four years,” “legend turned young coach,” “struggling alone after twin stars left,” and “aging frontcourt.”

His core statement included: “You were there for every championship, so you should also take responsibility when defending the home turf!”

Yang Ming’s view: “Sharing hardships” requires a highly professional environment; coaches must be accountable for recruiting, but fans’ expectations won’t lower due to rebuilding.

Leaving the show aside, looking back, the Warriors and Liaoning teams have striking similarities.

Summed up in a few words: dynasty aftermath.

What does that look like?

1. Core players aging, athletic ability declining, no longer at peak.

2. Core players retiring or transferring, making transition difficult.

3. Coaching staff tends to favor veteran players.

4. Salary cap occupied by veterans, limiting recruitment and strengthening.

5. Management misjudges the rebuilding window, accelerating decline.

Do these points match the situations of the Warriors and Liaoning teams one by one?

If so, why did Yang Ming voluntarily resign while Kerr, who has been frequently criticized, still holds his position firmly?

The line I agree with most from the show is: a highly professional environment is necessary.

If Kerr coached a CBA team and faced Liaoning’s situation, he might have packed up and gone fishing after a 15-win season.

In the NBA, he might only face pressure from performance.

What about Yang Ming?

His pressure comes from management, owners, leaders, players, fans, and social media livestreams...

The implication is that league conditions are quite different, especially in professionalism.

To put it simply, before winning the championship in 2022, the Warriors went through a huge slump, right?

But did that stop Lacob from making money...?

Liaoning won three consecutive championships, but can the team owner really make a lot of money from running the team?

Those who shout “win or lose, we stand with Liaoning,” are they really willing to spend money on tickets and merchandise?

In the 2019 season, Guo Shiqiang had to resign after losing three of four games; Yang Ming couldn’t hold on after four straight losses either.

How often has Kerr’s Warriors had losing streaks like that over the years?

So, another big takeaway from watching the show was:

People like Kerr and Spoelstra should feel lucky—if they were CBA coaches, who knows how many times they’d have been “beheaded”...

If Coach Lu were leading Liaoning... those who know, know.

The key point: we really can’t view many things in our league through an NBA lens.

Whether money is made or not, the difference is often huge.
