The Chinese men's basketball team has begun to fall into endless troughs since the 2019 World Cup. In fact, there is a chance to enter the World Cup in the 2019 World Cup, but the front line is basically the same. Ding Yanyuhang and Zhou Peng are absent, and it seems that only one Zhai Xiaochuan can be played. Abdu Sharamu was not valued at the time. The 2019 World Cup also became Yi Jianlian's last dance. After Yi Jianlian withdrew from the national team, the Chinese men's basketball team was in a state of no core for a long time. Originally, Zhou Qi should have become the core of the Chinese men's basketball team after Yi Jianlian, but he did not take the banner of the Chinese men's basketball team. Zhou Qi is now basically ruined by injuries, and he can't count on him anymore.

The Chinese men's basketball team has missed two Olympic Games. The configuration of the Chinese men's basketball team is not that bad now. The biggest problem is that it lacks a leading figure. Yao Ming was the absolute core in 2008, and there were assists like Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian and Sun Yue. At that time, Yi Jianlian was able to stabilize the situation at least in Asia during his leadership. The current role players of the Chinese men's basketball team are good, but what they lack is the core figure. In fact, naturalization is a shortcut, but the Chinese men's basketball team is not active in naturalization. Li Kaier was not the kind of player who could be the core of the team before.

If you don't consider naturalization, you can only hope that Yang Hansen, who was selected by the NBA in the future, has time to go before the next World Cup. Yang Hansen's strength will definitely improve rapidly in the NBA for a few years, and now he can only rely on him to lead the team. However, if the Chinese men's basketball team wants to have double insurance, they should put naturalization on the agenda. After all, naturalization is the general trend, and many countries are already ahead.
