With the official announcement of the appointment of the new Chinese men's basketball team head coach Deng Hua德e in Beijing by the Chinese Basketball Association, the rumors finally became reality. A suspense without any suspense was thoroughly resolved. However, as the third foreign coach in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team, Deng Hua德e left many question marks, and only time could straighten out these question marks one by one. There were "rumors" that Deng Hua德e's annual salary was about 1.2 million US dollars, but the Chinese Basketball Association prepared a very strict contract for Deng Hua德e. 1.2 million US dollars? If the word "US dollars" is removed from this annual salary, it would at most make people laugh and pass by, and wouldn't cause so much doubt from the outside world. The Chinese Basketball Association would hire Deng Hua德e for three years, until 2012. However, these three years include a one-year probation period, which means 2010 is Deng Hua德e's probation period. If he performs well during the probation period, Deng Hua德e will complete the three-year employment term. As the new head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, how Deng Hua德e balances the so-called "Guangdong clique" and other factions within the national men's basketball team is the first problem he needs to solve. After all, basketball is a team sport. Even with Yao Ming's full support, it doesn't mean that Deng Hua德e is guaranteed to succeed. From the perspective that basketball is played by five people, as the dominant force in the CBA arena, the six-time champion of the CBA, solving the so-called "Guangdong clique" problem might be the key to Deng Hua德e's success.
