Live Bar News on June 6th before, Shanghai Jiushi basketball club officially announced that Liu Peng served as the acting head coach of the team. Liu Peng was interviewed by Oriental Sports Daily.
When talking about the problems existing in the current team, Liu Peng said, “First of all, from the rotation of defense, including the whole defense, we should know that we are the whole tied together, where is the ball, where is the defense, and how to echo each other. In terms of attack, how to open up the space and tell my teammates what I do, and how other teammates can receive and make up for it. The purpose is to improve both ends of our attack and defense. In that case, our series connection will be smoother.”
When talking about the cultivation of young players, Liu Peng said, “because from our current age, we are more polarized than those in our 30 s and early 20 s, and the middle part is relatively weak. Now it is necessary to train two to three young players in each position, and it is impossible to cultivate them in a large area. The first is what we need, and the second is the key point. He is very active and hardworking. In this way, he can integrate into our system.”
