Japanese men s basketball team adds another naturalized player

According to media reports, the Japanese men's basketball team officially naturalized American player Nick Mayo. This player should be familiar with everyone. In the summer league representing Miami Heat against the Chinese men's basketball team in 2019, they scored 20 points and 3 rebounds in the game to help the Heat win. The competition in Asian are getting more and more intense, and it is becoming increasingly difficult for the Chinese men's basketball team to defeat the small days.

Since participating in the NBA Summer League in 2019, Mayo has gone to Japan to develop. It has been five years since then. Mayo submitted his naturalization application in January this year and has been approved. At present, this naturalization is only waiting for official announcement. Although Mayo has become naturalized, he will definitely not be able to participate in this Asian Cup. On the one hand, it is too late to go up. On the other hand, the Japanese men's basketball team has announced the 12-person roster for the Asian Cup. Because Mayo is following the process, he is not selected. Nagaki Kawamura, who signed a two-way contract in the NBA, was not selected. Xiaoriji encouraged players to go global and develop, so they would rather give up some games, which is indeed worthy of praise.

In comparison, the Chinese men's basketball team currently has no naturalized players. It is not that we cannot get good results without naturalization. The main reason is that basketball around the world is naturalized. Although the American men's basketball team has not done so, they are also trying their best to invite outstanding players of dual nationality to represent the United States in the competition. We do not allow dual nationality, so it will be very difficult to recruit naturalized players. The most important thing is that the money must be given enough. The cost of revoking American players is very high. Most of the players in other countries are not very strong. Most of the CBA or foreign players we can access are from the United States, so it is very difficult for us to naturalize players.

Since we cannot naturalize players in a short period of time, we can only pin our hopes on this men's basketball national team, hoping that they will get good results in the Asian Cup. In addition, basketball has been developing rapidly in recent years. If we continue to discover this momentum, it may be difficult for us to defeat them. What do you think about this?
