In this year’s Hangzhou Asian Games Men’s Basketball 5X5 event, many countries have sent more than one naturalized foreign player to participate. However, the Chinese team still has only one naturalized foreign player, Atino, despite the relative lack of local strength. , greatly reducing the team’s overall strength, and this problem was highlighted when they lost to Jordan in the semi-finals.
In yesterday’s game against Jordan, ball commentators Gu Yanwei, Xu Jinzhe and others mentioned that players in this Asian Games can play as long as they have the passport of that country, and there is no limit on the number of players. This means that as long as the players are willing, including Davis, Jeremy Lin, Lin Shuwei and others can log in at the same time in this Asian Games and put on the Chinese team jersey. The Basketball Association’s negligence was also questioned by fans. In mid-September, the Chinese Basketball Association never gave a clear answer as to whether Attino could play as scheduled, which also confused the outside world at the time.
In this regard, “Zhongtian News Network” called Li Yunxiang, secretary-general of the Chinese Basketball Association, regarding the regulations for naturalized foreign players in this Asian Games. Li Yunxiang said bluntly: “Regarding the Asian Games, we can only contact the Asian Games Organizing Committee through the Chinese Olympic Games. , we have been hoping that the Olympic Games can help confirm the qualifications of Atino and Abbasi, but we have never received a reply. We only found out that they can compete after the team leaders meeting, so we are also curious about what special channels other countries use. I know I can naturalize two of them.”
