Only this American can save China’s men’s basketball?

In 2018, Carl Anderson came to China to recognize his relatives. Author | Inspector Zhao In the past two days, there has been news that NBA minnesota timberwolves forward carl anderson will represent china’s men’s basketball in the 2023 men’s basketball world cup from august to september, and may participate in the 2024 olympic games later. The message on the Internet is true only because it is expected. However, as far as I know, the issue of the domestication of Li Kael by the Chinese Basketball Association is not a certainty, and there are still many problems to be solved. After all, this is the first time that China has naturalized foreign players men’s basketball. It is also because things will not go so smoothly that the importance of domestication to China’s men’s basketball can be demonstrated. 1. Why do fans expect him? Of course, it is because this player is excellent. He is not an NBA leftover material. Carl Anderson, the “sledge-hammer”, “Human peristaltic essence” and “Time Lord” in the mouth of Chinese fans, because the rhythm of playing basketball is obviously slower than that of normal basketball players, he is often the object of ridicule by the media and fans. But the strength of Carl Anderson is beyond doubt. Born in 1993, the height was 2 meters 06 and the arm show was an amazing 2 meters 20. Although he was a forward, he had a very good organizational ability. When Carl Anderson entered the NBA to play for the San Antonio Spurs in 2014, he quickly became the leader of the Hall of Fame coach Popovich baby by virtue of the golf dealer. Then he joined Memphis Grizzlies and Minnesota Timberwolves successively. In these two teams with NBA star players such as Morant and downs as the core, Carl Anderson still has a high tactical position, play the role of organization forward. Carl Anderson currently plays for NBA Timberwolves Carl Anderson has received data from three pairs and “20+10” many times, which is comparable to Yao Ming and Yi Jianlian, the two most influential players in NBA in China men’s basketball. In the latest 2022-23 season, there were 69 regular season games for Kair, 46 of which served as the first start, with an average of 28.4 minutes, can play 9.4 points 5.3 rebounds 4.9 assists 1.1 steals 0.9 cap of all-round data, his three-point hit rate is 41%. We might as well refer to Yi Jianlian, men’s basketball of China’s cellular phone over the past 10 years. Yi Jianlian’s second season in New Jersey basketable nets was its peak season. He started 51 games with an average of 31.8 minutes, winning 12 points, 7.2 rebounds, 1 assists, 0.7 steals and 1 cap. When Carl Anderson played for the grizzly bear in the 2020-21 season, he started 69 games with an average appearance of 29.8 minutes, winning 12.4 points 5.8 rebounds 4.9 assists 1.6 steals 0.9 cap. Carl Anderson, who has nearly 10 years of NBA experience, must be above Yi Jianlian. If you still have an impression of Yi Jianlian in the 2019 Men’s Basketball World Cup, you will know what Carl Anderson will bring to China’s men’s basketball. 2. Carl Anderson is also Li Kele How did such a player suddenly have a relationship with China? Not suddenly. In order to avoid the war during World War II, the foreign great grandfather of Carl Anderson drifted from Guangdong, China to Jamaica to make a living and got married and gave birth to his grandmother, so he had 1/8 Chinese ancestry. In 2012, Li Keel, who was a student, came to China with his mother because of the opportunity of basketball communication. In 2018, their mother and son went to Xinmu village in Shenzhen, Guangdong province to seek relatives together. They were written into the genealogy by the ethnic group, and he also had a Chinese name on the genealogy-Li Kele. Anderson’s name was also written into the genealogy. This afrodeezia, Li Kael met and recognized the ethnic group, clapped cups with his cousin 45 years older than himself to taste Chinese white wine, and also played basketball on the school basketball court with local villagers. Five years later, he was interviewed by the media and recalled the experience again. Li Keel was still impressed. He used the words “extraordinary meaning” to describe: “I found how deep my root was there, I was greatly touched by knowing that my roots were in China. I was really happy to know many past events that happened there before I was born.” He also stressed at that time that he would plan to go to China again. Naturally, if Chinese men’s basketball decided to naturalize foreign players, Li Kael, who is related to China by blood, should be the first person to be remembered. 3. China began to naturalize men’s basketball In March 2023, Gao Zhidan, director of the General Administration of Sports, responded in detail to the issue of “revitalizing three big-ball sports” at the third “ministerial channel” of the NPC and CPPCC. Among them, men’s basketball, as an important part of three big-ball sports and one of the most concerned projects, will undoubtedly win the best ranking of Asian teams in the 2023 basketball World Cup, and then get the tickets for the Olympic Games again. Since Yao Ming retired in men’s basketball, China has not been able to perform well in international competitions outside Asia. The dead memories began to attack me again: in London in 2012 and Rio in 2016, we lost all the group matches for two consecutive Olympic Games. In 2019, the basketball World Cup held at home performed badly, and finally failed the Tokyo Olympic Games, the nine consecutive entries ended. In 2019, China defeated the World Cup at home men’s basketball Now, the eldest brother Allianz is old, but China’s men’s basketball obviously has no successor. Zhou Qi, who made a big mistake in the Basketball World Cup in 2019, has grown into the core of the team, but in the critical stage of preparing for the 2023 World Cup, he has no ball to play because of various farces. The CBA of the top league in China later made a match-fixing incident. It seems that China has not performed in men’s basketball and has been labeled as “mourning soldiers. Under such circumstances, it is unrealistic to expect the national team to rapidly rise to the world level in a short period of time, so the idea of the General Administration of Sport of China Basketball Union can be understood: it is better to look far away and find a shortcut-domestication. Looking at Asian basketball and world basketball, close neighbors such as Japan and Korea and distant countries such as Spain, Turkey and Lithuania have already embarked on the road of domestication, and have achieved good results in some international competitions by naturalizing players. Others are introducing talents, and we are bound to fall behind. Maybe some fans didn’t know that Chinese basketball had moved the mind of domestication as early as Xinlan Cheng, and later he once wanted Lin Shuhao to put on the Chinese national team shirt. But how to copy this shortcut? How many foreigners are forced to form a team? Or choose from the foreign aid who has played CBA? Yao Ming, chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association, has long expressed an open attitude: players with certain Chinese ancestry and a sense of identity to Chinese culture; Players with excellent level and practical promotion significance to the Chinese team; it is a younger player who can play with the Chinese team for many matches. After calculation, Li Kelle is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate. 4. In the men’s basketball World Cup, Li Kael will be the focus. As for the domestication, Li Kelle himself knew it clearly, and he also responded clearly, “after the season is over, he will communicate with his family and agent before making a decision”. Although the domestication of Li Kael has not been fixed, it is already on the agenda of the Chinese Basketball Association. In 2018, enthusiastic villagers set off firecrackers to welcome the Anderson family. Of course, brokers will strive for the greatest benefits for Li Kael, including the benefits provided by the Basketball Association and the benefits provided by the Chinese market. In addition, representing the country in international competitions is also the pursuit of a basketball player. Li keel is unlikely to be selected into the US team, and being selected into the Chinese team is the only way to achieve this goal. There is reason to believe that the Chinese Basketball Association will handle this matter well before the World Cup, otherwise it seems meaningless. The results of the World Cup will directly determine whether the Chinese team can participate in the 2024 Paris Olympics. Now is the golden stage of Li Kael’s career. If this cycle is missed, Li Kael will be 4 years older and older in the next cycle. There are too many unknowns. What can Li Kael bring to China’s men’s basketball? This is obvious. In the field, since Ding Yan Yuhang fell due to a knee injury, the short board of China men’s basketball on the front line is visible to the naked eye. Those who can prevent can’t shoot, and those who can throw can’t hold the ball. Li Keel’s static talent is very good. His field vision and organization connection ability are not available for ordinary Asian players. He will definitely be the player that the current manager of China men’s basketball, Qiao erjievic, likes. His existence will greatly enrich China’s men’s basketball tactical choices. Off the court, the addition of an NBA starting player will undoubtedly drive the media and fans to pay attention to China’s men’s basketball. From the perspective of basketball, the name Li Kael should not only appear in the genealogy of Xinmu new village, but also in the list of Chinese men’s basketball matches. Apart from the negative textbook Chinese men’s football, there are actually many successful cases of domestication in the history of Chinese sports. The Chinas track and field team Zheng Nina Li, the winter player Gu ailing and the Chinese men’s and women’s ice hockey team have all created the history of Chinese sports. Let’s put it this way: on the way back to the Olympic Games, there may be a chance for Chinese men’s basketball with Li Kele, but there must be no chance for Chinese men’s basketball without Li Kele. **************************************************************************************************** Men’s basketball
