The recent "Chinese basketball world has many good things", with a good record in the Asian Cup, Yang Hansen joined the Trail Blazers, Yu Jiahao set out for Spain, but he had to start from the low-level league, and it was really difficult to prove his strength in the face of the test of the European League.

In August 25, the Chinese men's basketball team had just finished their Asian Cup journey, and Yu Jiahao set off for Spain. He will join the Spanish team Bilbao Club and start his "overseas basketball road". On August 1, the Spanish Bilbao Club officially announced that Yu Jiahao signed a contract for three years. This contract contains almost "hard" terms. In the first season, he will be loaned to the Spanish Basketball League in Torrera Vega. The team coached by head coach Loroen Chinas will play the game. If he performs poorly, he will not be able to get the chance to return to the La Liga team. This cooperation There is also a "possibility of invalidation". Spain's third-level basketball league is not higher than that of CBA, but it has the characteristics of European basketball that emphasizes team cooperation and delicate tactical cooperation. Some teams are connected with the second-level league and have a promotion and relegation system. Leagues of this level can be used as a training platform for overseas players. Yu Jiahao has the opportunity to adapt to the rhythm of the European league, improve team cooperation efficiency, polish basic skills, and lay the foundation for adapting to higher-level leagues. He was loaned to join the third-level league just after signing. It can also be regarded as a new team. He gave Yu Jiahao a test and was not very optimistic about his ability.

Yu Jiahao, born in 2003, plays as a center, with a height of more than 2.20 meters and an arm span of 2.26 meters. He was promoted to the first team of Zhejiang Men's Basketball Team in 2021. In that season, he completed his debut against Fujian, scored 25 points, grabbed 12 rebounds, and performed very well. He played 30 games for Zhejiang team in 2021-2022, and averaged 11.9 points, 8.5 rebounds, 0.9 assists, and 0.7 grabs. The two-point shooting percentage reached 59%. After that, he went to the United States for special training. In the 2022-2023 season, Yu Jiahao became the blocking champion of local players with his height advantage. When Liaoning faced Zhejiang's finals, he also performed well. In the 2023-2024 season, he averaged 14.1 points, 7.8 rebounds, 1.9 assists, and his shooting percentage exceeded 60%. In the 2024-2025 regular season, he averaged 13:05 points per game. 8 rebounds, 1.8 assists, 0.6 steals, 0.9 blocks, a shooting percentage of 62%, and 11 double-doubles. The playoffs accounted for 33.3 minutes of playing time, averaging 17.3 points, 8.3 rebounds, 1 assist, 0.7 blocks, and 0.7 steals. The shooting percentage rose to 63.3%, but the foul control was poor, and he averaged 5 fouls per game in the playoffs. In this summer's Asian Cup, Yu Jiahao averaged 13.7 minutes per game, and he could score 7.2 points and 4.7 rebounds, but his shooting percentage was only 45.5%, 1.2 turnovers, and 1.3 fouls. He had excellent performance against Jordan, but his overall stability was insufficient and his height was Advantages, but the offensive efficiency is not stable enough, and the state fluctuates greatly. Yu Jiahao has always been a problem that has not been solved by Yu Jiahao. Joining overseas leagues requires adapting to the new environment. It is necessary to effectively make up for shortcomings, increase offensive scoring means, increase movement speed, dare to fight against strength, be stable, and control mistakes and fouls. Under high-intensity confrontation, we must try to maintain a stable hit rate. The core strength must be trained in place. As an inside line, we cannot withstand pressure and are easily targeted and affected in the game. This must be paid attention to. Being able to dare to break out of the "comfort zone" to accept new challenges is a good thing for young players. Can Yu Jiahao successfully base himself on the overseas league, and what is his ability and level? What do fans think?
