On August 12, Beijing time, well-known media person Su Qun talked about the naturalization of women's basketball players in the Olympic Games. It has become a normal topic and has attracted attention from the outside world, especially since many European teams have American athletes, and Japan, which is involved in the Asian region, also has naturalized players. According to the current situation of the Chinese women's basketball team, she has proposed more than once the need to naturalize a capable guard to maximize the advantages of the forwards and inside players.

Su Qun emphasized: Many Chinese fans find it difficult to identify and accept naturalized players because they confuse the two different concepts of ethnicity and country. Ethnicity is a single concept, while a country is the coexistence and integration of various ethnic groups. Naturalizing foreign players is to help a country's basketball team maintain or even improve its strength, not to find long-lost relatives of a certain ethnic group.

Li Kaier became the first naturalized foreign player in Chinese basketball. This is a big step forward in terms of concept. Perhaps fifteen years later, we will get used to naturalizing a foreign player.

If our ideas always lag behind the changes in rules, we will always feel passive.

Basketball itself is not a big deal. It is just a game invented to keep warm in winter. It has nothing to do with survival, development, and prosperity.
