Naturalization is the world trend, and you can get top-level equipment at the beginning. Why should the Chinese men s basketball team have the courage to say no?

The current wave of basketball naturalization in the world is higher and higher. To borrow a comment from a media person, "Naturalized players are just giving out top-level equipment at the beginning, and other companies want it, why don't we want it?" However, Li Kaile was not recruited in this Asian Cup, and the Chinese men's basketball team did not seek other naturalized players to help. They relied on a group of domestic players to fight to the Asian Cup finals, and almost defeated the Australian second team, which was all the NBA marginals. This courage and hard power are indeed rare.

The Men's Basketball World Cup two years later and the Los Angeles Olympics three years later. The strength of the Chinese men's basketball opponents will be stronger. At that time, do we still have the confidence to not have top-level equipment? Maybe not before, but now the answer has become.

First of all, most of the players in the Asian Cup will play in the World Cup and the Olympics, and Zhao Jiayi and Li Xiangbo may leave the team. Instead, Zeng Fanbo and Yang Hansen, who competed in the NBA, were replaced. If Choi Yongxi recovers well, he has a high probability of joining Zhu Junlong in the big list. Although some people will leave, the new players have experience in studying abroad, and the actual combat power of the men's basketball team has only increased but not decreased.

The confidence of the men's basketball team to not be naturalized in the future is that there are many talents on the back line. Hu Mingxuan, Liao Sanning and Gao Shiyan were once questioned, but they all stood the test in the Australian back line, so the World Cup and Olympics are likely to continue to get opportunities.

The three major defenders are also young talents, including Zhu Zheng and Zhao Weilun. The former will have the potential to become the next Wang Junjie at the age of 20. American style of play can also enrich the Chinese men's basketball back line. The latter, who is 22 years old, prefers traditional point guard playing style to be more easily appreciated by Guo Shiqiang. However, through the experience of this Asian Cup, the current five defenders are relatively stable, so Zhu Zheng and Zhao Weilun want to play as the starter and rely on competition. This is also very different from the two young people we originally envisioned to take over directly when they were old.

After these people, Lin Wei, although he has a bad relationship with his uncle. But Guo Shiqiang is a national talent. He only looks at whether he plays well enough or not. If Lin Wei's defense meets the requirements of his uncle, the men's basketball team also needs his shooting ability. It seems that Lin Wei is not impossible to be selected. But whether Lin Wei can be selected in the end depends on Lin Wei's own performance, but one thing is certain, as long as Lin Wei can play, there will be a chance.

Obviously, the national team's back line is the most competitive position, and it can be seen through the competition that Hu Mingxuan and others are not useless. Such a strong family background does not require naturalized defenders, because even if you come here, you will have to compete for employment. What's more, naturalization is easy to miss. Since there are enough players in this area, why should I find them again?

Finally, it is the matter of naturalized quota. A country can only have one naturalized player. Our current naturalized player is Li Kaier, and Sledgehammer has repeatedly reiterated that it will win the next World Cup and Olympics. If the men's basketball team performs less than expected in the Asian Cup, the senior management will likely replace Li Kaier and find a small black double-athlete defender. But we performed well in all three lines in the Asian Cup. The role of naturalized players has also changed from scoring to passing and leading.

The Chinese men's basketball team will almost certainly play inside players such as Yang Hansen and Wang Junjie in the next 10 years. Li Kaier can provide game experience for these juniors and become a qualified sparring coach for these players. The defensive strategy of the Sledgehammer should be at the NBA's accurate starting level, and learning some experience from him is the key. If Wang Junjie can score under Li Kaier's strict precautions, his performance in the international competition will be guaranteed.

To sum up, the Chinese men's basketball team should not rush to naturalize at this stage, but should use this cycle to allow young people to have room for growth. This is the long-term plan.
