This summer, many players of the Chinese men's basketball team have started to go abroad. In addition to Yang Hansen, who was selected by the NBA Trail Blazers, Lin Wei recently announced that he will compete in overseas leagues next season. In addition, Yu Jiahao also officially announced that he will sign a contract with the Bilbao Club in La Liga, but he will be loaned to the Spanish Second Division club next season. In addition, Zeng Fanbo and Cui Yongxi may not appear in the CBA next season.

Yu Jiahao's salary in Bilbao in La Liga was also exposed. It is reported that his monthly salary in the team is only about 2,000 euros, which is about 16,710 yuan. However, if he stays in the CBA, he will most likely receive a maximum salary of 6 million yuan per year. With such a huge salary gap, Yu Jiahao still insisted on studying abroad. He also admitted that he did not go out for money. What is even more sad is that part of the 2,000 euros comes from the scarcity of size, which means that if it weren't for height, Yu Jiahao might not even get 2,000 euros.

Men's Basketball Team will be the first to fire the shot of studying abroad, and the pressure will also be given to the Chinese women's basketball team. After winning the runner-up in the 2022 World Cup, many Chinese women's basketball players also stepped out of their comfort zone and chose to study abroad. Among them, Han Xu returned to the libero, Li Meng joined the mysterious man, and Yang Liwei also went to the Sparks. If it weren't for the Asian Cup later, she would have really likely gained a foothold in the WNBA. In addition to these three, it was also rumored that Wang Siyu might have gone to the WNBA Bobcats (eventually failed to make a trip).

But in the face of the more realistic "bread", the girls of the women's basketball team still chose to compromise. In recent years, only Li Yueru has been playing in overseas leagues. Two national players like Han Xu and Li Meng, who once gained a foothold in the WNBA, have chosen to lie flat in the domestic WCBA league and have generous salaries in the Sichuan women's basketball team.

After Han Xu lost the Asian Cup in the Women's Basketball Team, he said that he would consider going to play in overseas leagues again, and hoped that she could really do what she said next. After all, judging from the performance of the Asian Cup in the Women's Basketball Team, the Chinese women's basketball team has indeed begun to decline, playing derailed basketball (falling in positions, playing double towers) that are incompatible with the world basketball trend. Not to mention Wang Siyu, Yang Liwei, Huang Sijing, and even the core Han Xu's abilities are deteriorating.

After the WCBA has released foreign players in recent years, the polarization has become more serious. For example, the Sichuan Women's Basketball Team is basically the only one, and the subsequent echelons are Guangdong and Inner Mongolia. Except for these three teams, the other 10 teams are basically running with them. Playing in such a league for a long time will indeed make many players feel lazy. I also hope that this trend of men's basketball team's overseas can allow the girls of the Chinese women's basketball team to rekindle their fighting spirit to improve themselves and bravely step out of the comfort zone of the domestic league.
