Recently, Su Qun, a well-known Chinese basketball commentator, participated in a podcast program. In the program, Su Qun gave his own insights and some insider information on the topic of the popular Chinese men's basketball naturalized players being hotly discussed by fans recently.

According to Su Qun, "Now, each team is not very enthusiastic about naturalizing foreign players. Li Kaier's naturalization was also a money paid by a certain club. Naturalized players to the national team are basically a one-time deal like Li Kaier. Many fans are asking whether Li Kaier will play on behalf of the Chinese men's basketball team? The answer is actually obvious. He said he would play a major competition. For example, if he could successfully naturalize Barry Brown, he would do his best to play. If you have a good time, you will definitely play more than one competition. Of course, as the perspective of maximizing the interests of naturalized players, you will have to pay a separate amount of money for each game."

Su Qun's words are actually quite informative. First of all, it is certain that Li Kaier will definitely not wear the Chinese men's basketball jersey to participate in international competitions. Judging from the results of the 2023 Men's Basketball World Cup, the Chinese men's basketball team only achieved a record of 1 win and 4 losses, and the Olympic tickets were also stolen by Japan, indicating that naturalized Li Kaier failed. Li Kaier's performance of 13 points, 5.6 rebounds, 3.4 assists, 1 break and 1.6 turnover in 32 minutes per game tells us that he is not the savior of the Chinese men's basketball team, and his ability is not enough.

As for the most interested naturalized candidate for the Chinese men's basketball team, Barry Brown, this season's finals, he has a very tough solution ability on the offensive end, which is definitely above Li Kaile. But can he have a chemical reaction with a group of players from the Chinese men's basketball team? Will he do his best to play every game for the national team? Keep your mindset and positivity temporarily.

The last point is why Brown rejected the naturalization contract of the Chinese men's basketball team with an annual salary of one million US dollars? The answer is obvious. The Brown team hopes that every competition will be settled, which can not only increase Brown's business rewards, but also prevent Brown from being frequently recruited by the national team, participate in some training friendly matches or confrontations, effectively reducing Brown's risk of injury.
