His worth is gone! CBA’s top insider was crushed. Is this the main center of the men’s basketball team?

The high-profile CBA league offseason is not over yet. The recent news that the dark horse Zhejiang team’s old inside player Yu Jiahao is unable to gain a foothold in the Spanish League has attracted the attention of fans. According to insiders, Yu Jiahao only had 2 points, 4 rebounds and 3 assists in 18 minutes in Fuenla Breda's recent 90-75 victory over Cantabria. According to statistics, Yu Jiahao averaged nearly 18 minutes per game in the first four games of the Spanish Second Division, scoring 4.25 points and 3.25 rebounds. Obviously, there is a big gap between Yu Jiahao's data and his average of 13+8 per game in the CBA League last season. This also reflects that the intensity of the Spanish League Two is much higher than the current overall level of the CBA League.

As the second center of the Chinese Men’s Basketball National Team this summer, Yu Jiahao showed his own characteristics in the Asian Cup. With Yang Hansen gone to the NBA Trail Blazers and Zhou Qi absent due to injury, Yu Jiahao's rotation in the paint gave Hu Jinqiu enough help. It was also one of the puzzle pieces that allowed Guo Shiqiang to lead the team to the last minute against the Asian giants, the Australian men's basketball team. Even with the title of the strongest local insider in the CBA League and the rotating center for the Asian Cup runner-up, the news that Yu Jiahao was immediately demoted after joining La Liga is disappointing enough. However, just when outside fans believed that Yu Jiahao could perform at a reduced-dimensional level in the Spanish Second Division, he faced the risk of falling out of the team's rotation after the first four games.

Although he got a lot of playing time in the Spanish Second League, Yu Jiahao's performance is far from the level of "foreign aid", which also reflects the gap between the CBA League and the European League. Since Yu Jiahao faces the risk of not being able to gain a foothold in La Liga, the possibility of him joining La Liga in the future is almost zero. Therefore, many fans predict that Yu Jiahao will most likely choose to return to the CBA League in the future, and it will be a matter of time before he gets a maximum salary contract. Of course, after Yu Jiahao's sluggish performance in the Spanish Second Division, he has basically lost his value in the overseas league market. In the future, Yu Jiahao is unlikely to follow Lin Wei and join the NCAA or go to the Australian NBL league to practice.

Fortunately, the Chinese men's basketball national team does not need to rely on Yu Jiahao to carry the banner in the future. In the final peak period of Zhou Qi and Hu Jinqiu, Yang Hansen had completely established a foothold in the NBA league. And even if Xun Sinan, the core insider of China's U17 National Youth Team, joins the NCAA League, he will have the opportunity to enter the NBA League in the future. In other words, Yu Jiahao has basically lost the possibility of being selected for the subsequent international competitions of the Chinese men's basketball team. In the next Men's Basketball World Cup, Guo Shiqiang is more likely to use a combination of Yang Hansen, Hu Jinqiu, Zhou Qi and Xiu Sinan. And NCAA main power forward Wang Junjie, who has already made a mark in the Asian Cup, may also continue to be selected.

To sum up, at this stage, the Chinese men's basketball team does not have much problems in terms of internal reserve strength, and there is still a chance to return to the top eight in the world in the future. Although Yu Jiahao's joining the Spanish Second Division has cost him his worth, it has also laid a good foundation for subsequent CBA League players to jump out of their comfort zone.
