聘请外教在如今看来并不是稀奇事,但在当时决定请外教,等于否定了国内教练的能力,割断了一些盘根错节的利益,推行起来并非易事。李元伟及其幕僚很清楚,中国篮球学不来美国那一套,也不想只在亚洲独大,就必须接受欧风美雨的洗礼。 The hiring of foreign teachers is not surprising at this moment. However, the decision to invite foreign teachers at that time was tantamount to negating the ability of domestic coaches and cutting apart some of the wrong things for the benefit of their implementation. Li Yuanwei and his aides know very well that Chinese basketball can not learn from the United States and do not want to be the only one in Asia.
