When Guo Shiqiang faced the CCTV camera and talked about the need for naturalized players for the Chinese men's basketball team, and players who can score at key moments in key games, this is the trend of world basketball development. We should look sideways at how the Philippines, Japan, Germany, and Spain polish and develop naturalized players.

When Clarkson set off a storm in the Philippines on the court, the naturalization test of the Chinese men's basketball team was like a mismatched dose of Chinese medicine - the medicine primer was precious, but the monarch and the ministers made it all messed up. The naturalization anxiety of Chinese basketball is like a demon mirror. On one side is the rotten-up roster of NBA players in the Basketball Association building, and on the other side is the tactical board on the training court; In his left hand he holds the talisman of "national sentiments", and in his right hand he holds the pass of "international integration". This schizophrenic operation is like the old Peking bean juice with French foie gras – the form is very avant-garde, but diners can't swallow the taste of this mash-up even if they pinch their noses.

Japanese shrewdness always shines in the details. Their naturalized Hawkinson has been immersed in the B League for many years, and he can not only use the authentic Kansai dialect to shout tactics, but even the celebration action has the pompous sense of Japanese variety show. This kind of subtle and silent assimilation is much more clever than our rush to label mixed-race players as "descendants of Yan and Huang". It's like boiling a pot of oden, and you need to let the foreign ingredients simmer in the broth for enough hours to soak in the local sweetness. We always wanted to use the microwave oven to heat up the whole meal for three minutes, but it turned out that it was only a sandwich rice with a cold platter.

The naturalization manual of German basketball hides a doorway. Schroeders are not saviors who fell from the sky, but carefully polished screws on the youth training line. People have long written naturalization into the ten-year plan, but we always treat foreign aid as a cheat sheet for cheating in the examination room - we usually don't burn incense, and we only stuff it into the cuffs before the exam. This kind of opportunistic style is like an old chess player who is very good at the end of the alley, always counting on one clever move to win the whole game, but forgetting that the chess table has always been a system-to-system strangulation.

The potato chips in the CBA foreign aid lounge may hide the true meaning of naturalization. When David James settled down in Tianjin eating pancakes and fruits, and when Jia Mingru taught Goodwin's son Chinese every day, the blend of these fireworks was far warmer than the steel seal on the blood certificate. Basketball is a sport that requires hormones to collide after all, and instead of worrying about the purity of the DNA profile, it is better to figure out how to make the palms of different skin tones shoot at the same frequency.

FIBA's standings don't add points to sentiment, and Olympic scoreboards don't mark pedigree components. When the Japanese army next door has torn off the label of "second-rate Asia" with the half-blood army, we are still arguing about how the "dragon's blood" should be diluted to a few percent. This argument is as funny as discussing the production standards for lifebuoys on Noah's Ark – the flood is up to your neck, so you should get on the boat first!

In front of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the basketball association's building, decision-makers should take a look at the wild streets of the basketball courts. There are no playbooks, no translation teams, just black-skinned, white-skinned, yellow-skinned players battling under the same basket. Perhaps the real naturalization code is hidden in these sweaty folk arenas - when outsiders no longer need to be "naturalized", when they naturally become "their own people", Chinese basketball can truly understand the wordless book of globalization.
