When the final whistle sounded and Guangsha bench rushed to the center of the field like a tide, Barry Brown Jr. used a crazy performance of 41 points and 9 assists to help Guangsha men's basketball team win the first championship in team history, and Brown also won the MVP of the finals with his stable performance in the finals. The player, who is widely called for naturalization, proved his ability with his crazy performance in the finals.

Since Yao Ming retired, the Chinese men's basketball team has not only lost the inside pillar, but also exposed many shortcomings in offense and defense system, tactical execution and key ball handling. With the decline in competitiveness of China's men's basketball team, the Chinese Basketball Association has forced the launch of a naturalization policy in 2023. Although the joining of Li Kaier, the first naturalized player, injects vitality into the team, his positioning as a forward player is difficult to completely solve the core problem of insufficient external organization and scoring capabilities of the Chinese men's basketball team. After missing two consecutive Olympic Games in Paris and Tokyo, the Chinese Basketball Association announced in 2025 that it would relax the restrictions on naturalized players and no longer require bloodline ties. It plans to allow each CBA team to register a naturalized player in the 2025-26 season, and its identity will be regarded as a local player.

"The best naturalization is not to invite a super foreign player to Carry, but to find the 'catalyst' that can make the team produce chemical reactions." Guangsha's case proves that angelic naturalized players complement the local core. When individual heroism reaches a balance between team basketball, the championship will naturally come naturally. If Brown eventually accepts naturalization, its impact will radiate to the dual level of the club and the national team. For Guangsha, naturalized identity can release foreign aid quotas and help the team defend the CBA championship next season. For the Chinese men's basketball team, Brown's joining is expected to fill the technical gap in the back line, especially when dealing with opponents such as Japan and the Philippines that rely on naturalized players in the Asian Cup, his ability to break the ball, three-point shooting and key balls can significantly enhance the team's competitiveness.

From Li Kaile to Brown, naturalization policy shifted from "leathology orientation" to "ability priority", marking the deepening of pragmatic thinking. However, how to balance the short-term benefits of naturalized players with the long-term goals of local talent training and how to build a tactical system that adapts to naturalized players still needs to be carefully considered by the Basketball Association and the coaching team. So do you think the Chinese men's basketball team should quickly naturalize Barry Brown? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area to express your views.
