As the former overlord of the Asian men's basketball team, the Chinese men's basketball team has begun to show signs of recovery in recent years after a few years of downturn. At the Asian Games in Jakarta, the Chinese team won all 4 gold medals in basketball, which is indeed gratifying. Yao Ming After taking over the head of the Chinese Basketball Association, it obviously brought new hope to the difficult-to-return Chinese basketball. However, as the Men's Basketball World Cup approaches, a naturalization trend is quietly emerging in Asia. It is reported that there are at least 9 teams in Asia and they have actually own naturalized players...
As we all know, the improvement of the Philippine men's basketball team's performance in recent years is entirely due to the participation of several naturalized players such as Brache; as the old opponent of the Chinese men's basketball team in Asia, the South Korean team has also strengthened their weak inside line by naturalizing Ratliff; the Chinese Taipei team has made great strength with naturalized foreign aid Quincy Davis. It is significantly enhanced; Japanese men's basketball team does not borrow naturalized Fazekas, and forms the "big three" with Hachimura Hiroshima and Watanabe Yuta ; Jordan men's basketball team has made big moves recently, and they naturalized former CBA champion foreign aid Dentmon; Iranian team will earn Michael Rostambo, who has dual American nationality; Lebanon, Kazakhstan and Iraqi men's basketball teams have their own naturalized players respectively.
"The stone from another mountain can be used to attack jade." In recent years, with the advent of the naturalization trend of football, Asian basketball powerhouses have followed suit and began to improve the team's strength by naturalizing players. As the former overlord of the Asian men's basketball team, the Chinese men's basketball team has always scoffed at it. As a big country with 1.3 billion people, China accounts for nearly 40% of the world's population. Relying on naturalized players to solve the present and future of Chinese basketball seems to feel like drinking poison to quench thirst. Therefore, the Chinese basketball community, including Chinese fans, has always been cautious and wait-and-see for naturalized players, and even has an exclusion mentality as a whole, which is not completely unreasonable.
In fact, some Chinese basketball people also hold different views on this. They oppose the brainless large number of naturalized players, but at the same time they also believe that naturalized Chinese in terms of technological development should not be "unable to let go" when it comes to the basketball field. Those who hold this view hope that the Chinese men's basketball team will completely enhance the overall strength of the Chinese team by naturalizing players in certain key positions. For example, naturalization has Chinese player Jeremy Lin , who is gradually being bordered by the border in NBA. Such a key naturalization may be a good idea to enhance the combat effectiveness of the Chinese men's basketball team. After all, Jeremy Lin’s personal ability and overall view of the field are what Chinese men’s basketball team’s back line players do not have at this stage…
The topic of whether the Chinese men’s basketball team should naturalize players is said to be “one person has his own opinions”. I wonder what netizens and fans think about this?
