In the first stage, he averaged 20.1 points and 10.2 assists per game, and Sun Minghui, who worked with Li Kaier, the first naturalized player in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team.
In a recent interview, he made it clear that if the Basketball Association decides to naturalize again, it should choose players with strong scoring ability.
This during or before the World Cup, if someone says something like this, it will definitely be sprayed to the point that the body is shaky.
But with the World Cup and the national team mission long over, Sun Minghui's views have been recognized by more and more people, and even officially supported.
It is undeniable that Li Kaier's contribution and his conscientiousness, but his level and style of play are really not suitable for the Chinese men's basketball team that is a fish belly in today's international basketball world.
Lee Kyle averaged 13 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.4 assists per game in the past World Cup, and his stats are mediocre at best, with average offensive efficiency and a lack of offensive means to shoot.
It means that unlike the naturalization of other countries, it has the ability to ignore all defenses when necessary.
And the lack of hard solution ability has always been the biggest drawback of the Chinese men's basketball team, so it is destined that Li Kaier is not the most suitable naturalization.
Before Li Kaier came, there were people who held such an opposing attitude, but the blood relationship still tied us together, and the final result was unexpectedly unsatisfactory.
One can make mistakes and accept the failure of gambling, but one must not fall into the same pit.
So the next time the Chinese men's basketball team is looking for a new naturalization, it will basically find a guard with strong scoring ability, as Sun Minghui said.
Some time ago, there was a mixed-race player born in 07 who couldn't wait to join the Chinese men's basketball team, but the contact between the two sides was still in the initial stage.
Wang Jian, a draft expert at the end of November, reported that Zhu Zheng successfully received an offer from the University of Cincinnati at NCAA Division 1 and continued to run towards his NBA goal.
A promising and enthusiastic teenager, the kind that will regret having a green intestine if you miss it.
However, considering that this guy is only about 16 years old and only a high school student, the Chinese men's basketball team does not need to make a decision on him in a hurry, and can continue to observe.
Failure is nothing, what is terrible is not being able to learn from failure, and not having the courage to get back up.
In the next few years, the Chinese men's basketball team will not have international competitions to play, but optimistically, it can be regarded as a journey of lying on the salary and tasting courage.
There is no eternal peak, as long as there is a heart to change and refuse to be rotten, there is no eternal trough!
