Many rumors of naturalization scandals with the men s basketball team! It was revealed that CBA James completed a contract renewal and averaged 24+14 games last season

On September 16, according to domestic media reports, the Tianjin Men's Basketball Team has reached an agreement with David James, who has played for the team for three seasons, on a contract extension. Although the two sides have not officially signed the contract, he has signed an offer.

Previously, due to his wife's childbirth, James suspended his playing for the NBL Hong Kong Taurus and returned to the United States.

The CBA James has been rumored to have naturalized scandals since last year. Among them, Tianjin celebrity Zhang Zhaoxu even revealed that the Chinese Basketball Association once had contact with him further confirmed the possibility of the two sides' intention to cooperate.

Since playing for the Tianjin Men's Basketball Team in the 2022-23 season, James' performance and professional spirit have won high recognition from the team. And James also gave all his money for the team.

James previously said: Tianjin Men's Basketball Team is good to him in all aspects, and he has regarded this as his second home.

It is reported that James has bought a house in Tianjin and has a very high sense of belonging to China, which may be an important factor in choosing to stay in the Chinese league for a long time.

Last season, James represented Tianjin in 45 regular season games, averaging 38.8 minutes per game with a comprehensive data of 24.6 points, 14 rebounds, 4.2 assists and 1.3 steals. According to the standards of core foreign players, it is almost difficult for James to find his shortcomings. He has both a stable threat of outside shooting and a hard solution to hit the basket. He plays the role of Salinjie in the Tianjin Men's Basketball Team, and James' private life, living habits, etc. are one of the very low-key members of the foreign players.

If the price of naturalization is not particularly high, a foreign player like James, who is extremely familiar with the CBA league, is worthy of further consideration of the possibility of operation.

At present, Zeng Fanbo, Yang Hansen, Lin Wei, Yu Jiahao and others have chosen to play in overseas leagues, and it is difficult to consider returning to the World Cup in a short period of time. James has been playing in the Chinese League for a long time and is also at a rest period.

Reference he does not need much time to adapt to the environment of the Chinese men's basketball team. He basically fully plays the role of a foreign aid in the men's basketball national team, greatly reducing the running-in time. James' impact is worthy of the consideration of the Chinese men's basketball team.

If there is a more suitable candidate before the 2027 World Cup, it is possible to consider changing it at that time. There will be more than one naturalized player in national teams such as Japan and the Philippines.
