In years gone by.

The top of Asia, however, since the retirement of Yao Ming, Da Xie and other veterans, coupled with the addition of strong teams such as Australia and New Zealand to the Asia Pacific

Not only have we lost our dominance, but even the World Cup and Olympic Games have become out of reach. Fans are hotly debating the topic of naturalized players, but I think it's not just a question of whether to naturalize or not, but a deeper discussion about how many players need to be naturalized in the future.

The dominant position in Asia is no longer there, and whether or not we can make it to the World Cup or the Olympics in the future seems to depend on whether or not we have naturalized players. Without Yao Ming's absolute power, our national team seems to see no ray of hope.

Today, there is no Yao Ming's absolute star, and the team's strength is far less than the golden generation of the 90s. If you want to quickly improve the strength, naturalization of foreign aid may be a shortcut, after all, youth training takes time.

There are losses and wins. If we face stronger opponents in the future, the strength of the current team is afraid that it will be difficult to go out. I think naturalizing more foreigners as soon as possible is a shortcut to improve their strength. I don't know what everyone's opinion is.
If the naturalization measures are not taken, the men's basketball team is afraid of repeating the mistakes of the men's soccer team and wandering in Asia for a long time.
