The Chinese men's basketball team officially naturalized Li Kaier: finally came to this step The future normal or youth training is sustainable
When the Chinese men's football team tried the "naturalization" model, it ended up in a mess and still missed the Football World Cup. Now the "naturalization" belonging to Chinese basketball has finally come, and the basketball association officially announced the welcome of Li Kyle Sledgehammer Li Kyle Anderson! Kyle Anderson has finally officially become "Li Kyle" and will represent the Chinese men's basketball team in this year's Basketball World Cup to help the team compete for the Paris Olympics direct place.
With the promotion and support of all parties, Li Kaier has obtained Chinese nationality this morning and met with Yao Ming, chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association. Thank you for the support and help of all parties, thank you to the support of Li Kyle's family, and thank the fans and media for their long-term attention to the Chinese men's basketball team.
But can Li Kyle really help the Chinese men's basketball team achieve its goals? The answer is unknown, everything will have to wait until the basketball World Cup is known. It's just that at least the door to naturalization has been opened, and the arrival of Li Kyle will have a big impact on the future development of Chinese basketball. There is no doubt that when naturalization becomes a world trend, it may also become the future normal of Chinese basketball in the future, but youth training is still the root of the sustainable development of Chinese basketball.
After missing the Tokyo Olympics, the Chinese men's basketball team finally chose to naturalize
The most important blow to Chinese basketball in recent years is naturally missing the Tokyo Olympics, ending the record of the Chinese men's basketball team participating in the Olympic Games for 9 consecutive years. In the 2019 Home Basketball World Cup, the Chinese men's basketball team, as the host, had the right time and place, especially with what was considered to be the "upper sign" at the time.
However, the Chinese men's basketball team failed to grasp the signing. In the group stage of the 2019 Basketball World Cup, after defeating Côte d'Ivoire 70-55 in the first game of the Chinese men's basketball team in the group stage, the Polish team lost 76-79 in the second overtime game of the group stage, and Zhou Qi's fatal sideline ball mistake became the key reason for the loss. In the final game of the group stage, the Chinese men's basketball team lost 59-72 to Venezuela, officially announcing that it did not qualify from the group. In the subsequent qualifying matches, the Chinese men's basketball team lost to Iran and missed the Tokyo Olympics, and lost all the games in the Olympic Games.
The Olympic Games are extremely important to Chinese sports, and the absence of the Olympic Games is a heavy blow to the Chinese men's basketball team, and it directly affects the development of Chinese basketball and CBA leagues. For the competition for tickets for the Paris Olympics, the Chinese men's basketball team is naturally eager to return to the Olympic stage, so it needs to strive for this year's basketball World Cup and become the best team in Asia to go straight to the Olympic Games, otherwise there is no hope of playing the Olympic Games.
The Chinese men's basketball team has made the impact of the Paris Olympics tickets a top priority, and choosing to naturalize Li Kyle under such pressure is naturally the most helpless choice. With the current strength of the Chinese men's basketball team, there is no doubt that it is not too competitive, after all, no player is currently playing in the NBA, and last year's Asian Cup was also a stop in the quarterfinals. It is too late for the Chinese men's basketball team to dig internal potential, and it still takes time for young players such as Cui Yongxi, Zeng Fanbo and Zhang Zhenlin to grow, and naturalizing Li Kaier is the best way to quickly improve their strength in a short period of time.
Under the trend of the world, naturalization will be the norm in the future
Naturalization has become a normal phenomenon in the world sports world, and the Chinese men's football team has also carried out a series of naturalizations, but the final result is extremely dismal. However, there are also successful examples of naturalized Gu Ailing, and her gold and silver victory at the Beijing Winter Olympics is extremely exciting.
Back to the basketball level, naturalization is not a shame, after all, naturalization has become a major trend in world basketball, most teams have naturalized players, even those European strong teams have naturalized players, such as the Spanish men's basketball naturalized Lorenzo Brown, helped the team win last year's European Championship, Greece men's basketball naturalized Dorsey, Slovenian men's basketball naturalized Larkin and so on. As for Asia, Clarkson, the host of this year's basketball World Cup, the Philippine men's basketball team, will be the most important competitor for the Chinese men's basketball team to storm the tickets for the Paris Olympics.
Under such circumstances, the teams participating in the Basketball World Cup basically have naturalized players, and it is undoubtedly appropriate to make reasonable use of the rules to improve their strength. The Chinese men's basketball team chose to naturalize Li Kyle for this purpose, and with the continuous intensification of international basketball competition in the future, naturalization is bound to become a normal trend in the future.
The gap between the Chinese men's basketball team and the world's top teams is still huge, so in addition to Li Kyle, there may be new naturalized players in the future, such as Isaiah Wang, who was selected by the Pacers with the 55th pick of the NBA Draft this year, and he is a Chinese player with 1/8 ancestry, which will be one of the potential candidates for naturalization.
The number of naturalized basketball games is limited, and based on youth training is fundamental
Of course, after all, the proportion of naturalization in a team is still limited, and the Chinese men's basketball team cannot completely pin its hopes on naturalized players. What's more, a team can only have a maximum of one naturalized player in an international competition, so in order to improve the overall strength of the team, the overall growth of local players needs to be more powerful.
The handover of the core baton of the Chinese men's basketball team, from the period of Yao Ming and Wang Zhizhi, to the period of Yi Jianlian, and now to the Zhou Qi period, there is no doubt that the core ability and level of the national team are declining, which has become an important factor in the decline of the overall competitiveness of the Chinese men's basketball team.
The current coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, Jordjevic, makes a lot of use of young players to promote the upgrading of the national team, and also hopes that the Chinese men's basketball team can be supported by young players as soon as possible. Zeng Fanbo, Cui Yongxi, Zhang Zhenlin and other young players, they will be the future of Chinese basketball, and they also need to get enough experience.
Only when more young potential players are excavated and have a sufficient "basketball population" can the Chinese men's basketball team have more materials in the future, which is also the foundation for the sustainable development of a sport.
