Taiwan Provincial Men's Basketball Team lost in a row and missed the World Cup. Fans and media frantically blamed it because it was CBA League that led to the decline of Taiwan's basketball in a complete decline?
In the just-concluded World Cup qualifiers, Taiwan, China and Taiwan suffered a defeat. Not only were they swept by the Philippines and Australia in succession, Japan, who narrowly defeated Taiwan by 1 point in the first round, actually beat Taiwan with a 40-point victory in the second round. In this way, with the four teams having three outs, Taiwan became the one that was sacrificed, and the men's basketball World Cup journey ended here.
, and some Taiwanese media also said that many outstanding players in join the CBA is the key to the insufficient intensity of the Taiwan basketball league , Zhou Yixiang , Liu Zheng, Lin Zhijie, Chen Yingjun, Hu Longmao are all the backbone of Taiwan and are now playing in the CBA. Zhou Yixiang said without hesitation that he went to the CBA to play because of his high salary. His annual salary in the CBA reached 1.1 million, more than twice that of his in Taiwan.
Chinese Taipei team head coach is Xu Jinzhe. Since he coached in the Shanxi team in the CBA, he has a very deep understanding of mainland basketball. Recently, he talked about the differences in basketball between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait in an interview with reporters. He believes that the CBA league in mainland China is the strongest professional league in Asia, while Taiwan's SBL seems very amateur .
When it comes to CBA, Xu Jinzhe has many praises. He believes that mainland players are better than Taiwanese players in terms of physical fitness and hard work. He said: "Mainland players are much more qualities than Taiwanese players, 170cm. You say that Chen Shijie can dunk slams, and there are a lot of people over there, just like the United States, a bunch of 170cm can dunk! You say that he wants to run fast, and each of them is accurate. Mainland really has more players who work hard to train than Taiwan. For example, for a team with 15 players, there may be 10 players in mainland China after we train. After we train, he will still ask for his own shooting. Taiwan also has 15 players, at most 5, and 3 to 5 people laugh..."
As the famous Taiwanese coach Qiu Dazhuan said, the CBA is the NBA in Asia. Almost every player who has made a name for himself in the Taiwan League hopes to prove himself in the CBA. Lin Zhijie and Zhou Yixiang have both won the league MVP. However, Zhou Yixiang won the big victory in the Taiwan League, but he could only play soy sauce in the CBA. The CBA gives them better salary conditions, professional league environment, and training stage. The best players in Taiwan don’t want to leave at all when they come here, but their fans and media pick up the bowl to eat and put down the bowl to curse.
, which is still firmly in Taiwan, is currently in charge of the main force in Taiwan. He played four games for Jiangsu team in the 13-14 season, scored a pitiful 2 points and returned to Taiwan after 19 shots. After all, except for Lin Zhijie, Liu Zheng, , Yang Jingmin and others, other Taiwanese players do not have the strength to gain a foothold in the CBA. Their lineup is now in bad terms. has to thank the CBA for giving Taiwanese players a stage to show their own stage, rather than rushing the blame wildly.
