The Importance of International Exposure for Chinese Basketball: Why CBA Teams Need to Go Out and Compete

Original title: It is imminent for CBA to go out and “see”

The Eastern Super League ended last night. Unfortunately, the CBA League did not have any role in this East Asian basketball “drama”. In fact, in the “Super 8” and “Special 12” competitions in the initial stage of the Eastern Super League, many CBA teams were invited to play. Later, due to various reasons, the CBA teams temporarily left the Eastern Super League.

The decline in the performance of the national team has our own subjective reasons. More importantly, our opponents in Asia have improved rapidly, and we know very little about this.

A few years ago, both the national team and the CBA team frequently communicated with opponents from all over the world: either holding international invitational tournaments at home to “invite” strong foreign teams; or “going out” to compete in tournaments. Overseas training, gaining knowledge and improving skills. In recent years, Chinese basketball has had fewer and fewer exchanges with the outside world. Even the Chinese women’s basketball team, which has the best results, lost to the French team in this year’s women’s basketball Olympic qualifying tournament. Chinese women’s basketball coach Zheng Wei also I lament that after not communicating or competing with strong European and American teams for a long time, the team is not used to it.

If Chinese basketball wants to improve its level, it must first identify its current positioning in Asia, and secondly, it needs to go out and see the development of its opponents and have enough high-quality games. At present, the leagues in East Asia basically adopt the foreign aid policy of two foreign players + one Asian foreign player (or naturalized player). This is undoubtedly conducive to increasing the intensity of the league and improving the level of local players. It is reported that leagues in Japan, South Korea, the Philippines and other countries are considering expanding the scale of Asian foreign aid, and even including high-level players from Australia, New Zealand and other countries into the scope of Asian foreign aid. In this way, the level of the team will definitely improve by leaps and bounds.

Getting out and “seeing it” is imminent. The national team should go out, and CBA league clubs should go out even more, because “the league is the mother of the national team”, and improving the level of the league means improving the level of the national team. (Huang Wei)
