Recently, men's basketball players Liu Chuanxing and Zhou Qi have joined the Australian National League, and will play for the Brisbane Bullets and the Southeast Melbourne Phoenix respectively. Today, the New Express wrote an article listing Chinese players who have been linked to the Australian NBL.
As early as 2003, Chinese players intersected with the Australian NBL: Zheng Wu, who was at the end of his career, joined the Melbourne Tigers. It's just that this franchise is more commercial, Zheng Wu only played a few warm-up games in China for the team, and did not really appear in the league.
Since then, Liu Wei has been invited to an All-Star Game in the NBL, when there were rumors that he would join the NBL's Perth Wildcats, but the trip did not end up.
After that, Liu Xiaoyu and Sun Hefeng joined the Sydney Kings successively, the former did not get the opportunity to play due to injury, and the latter only participated in Australia's second division.
Until 2016, Liu Bo from Dongguan New Century first represented the Melbourne Tigers in the Australian Winter Basketball League, and then joined the Sydney Kings to compete in the NBL. He made five appearances for the Kings and scored two points against the New Zealand Saboteurs, the first time a Chinese player has scored in the NBL.
In the past period of time, Yan Peng, Wang Tong, and Li Tianrong have all landed in the NBL League, but they have not set off too much waves. It is believed that with the joining of Liu Chuanxing and Zhou Qi, the Australian Basketball League, which has a fierce style and strong ornamentality, will attract much attention in China.
