During China's men's and women's basketball closed training, public debates heated up. The official noted its goals, while public doubts rose over the men's team's short closed camp.
During the men’s and women’s basketball teams’ closed-door training sessions, public debate has been ongoing.
Online discussions on the matter have been heated; some argue that it is difficult to understand why the teams chose closed-door training instead of following the standard practice of open training sessions, while others maintain that the teams have their own plans and that outsiders should not interfere excessively.
Officials have provided a clear explanation: the closed-door training is intended to ensure training quality, prevent doping risks, keep core tactics confidential, and avoid interference from irrelevant outside public opinion, allowing the teams to focus on honing their competitive skills. The women’s basketball team has completed four months of closed-door training, while the men’s basketball team has only conducted two weeks of closed-door training.
In a
previous friendly match against Uruguay, the men’s basketball team committed 18 turnovers in a single game, ultimately finishing with a record of one win and one loss, including one defeat;During the same period, media outlets captured footage of the New Zealand men’s basketball team training openly, with players freely interacting with reporters in attendance. When these two situations are compared, public skepticism regarding the men’s team’s closed-door training camp has noticeably intensified.
Recently, the women’s national basketball team took the lead in adjusting its training openness policies, implementing a tiered approach of “three public sessions and three closed sessions.” This approach not only firmly safeguards the confidentiality of core tactics but also maintains normal channels of communication with fans and the media.
The men’s basketball team is set to face New Zealand next,
but there is currently no clear, publicly available conclusion as to whether the issues exposed in previous games have been effectively resolved.
Preparations have consistently focused on addressing practical problems without any unnecessary formalities; the actual effectiveness of the closed-door training camp will ultimately be judged by the team’s performance on the court.Judgments regarding
subsequent developments will ultimately be based on the actual results achieved on the court.
