In the early morning of the 19th, the men’s basketball European Championship fell. Spain defeated France 88-76 men’s basketball and stood on the top of Europe for the fourth time. In this game, Juan Hernan Gomes scored the highest. He made 7 three-point shots and scored 27 points. Brown, the naturalized player of Spain men’s basketball, sent out 11 assists although he only scored 14 points. This is the highest record of assists in the final since 1995 in the European Championship, brown was also selected as the best team in this European Championship.
Although the Spanish men’s basketball had passed the era led by the Pau Gasol brothers, they still maintained a strong enough ruling power and outstanding achievements. In fact, not only the Spanish men’s basketball currently playing in the European Championship, but also the teams of all ages of Spanish basketball have achieved remarkable results in their respective competitions. European media counted the results of Spanish basketball participating in European competitions of all ages this year. The results are as follows: Men’s Basketball: U16 (silver), U17 (silver), U18 (gold), and U20 (gold). Women’s Basketball: U16 (silver), U17 (silver), U18 (silver), and U20 (gold).
The Spanish men’s basketball, who fought in the European Championship, is the top representative of Spanish basketball and the team that can best reflect the national basketball strength. Compared with before, the European Championship has added naturalized player Brown. I believe Chinese basketball fans are no stranger to Brown. He joined Zhejiang men’s basketball in the 2016-2017 season and played 20 CBA regular season matches. He scored 23.9 points, 7.5 rebounds, 5.5 assists, 2.6 steals in 33 minutes, field goal percentage is 45.8%. Since then, Brown played CBA again in the 2018-19 season. At that time, he played in Guangzhou men’s basketball and only played 8 times. He scored 25.3 points, 5.4 rebounds, 4.9 assists and 2.8 steals in minutes, field goal percentage is 59.2%, and the three-point hit rate is 29.3%.
Brown was one of the most important players in Spain’s men’s basketball during the European Championship. Especially when entering the elimination stage, Brown’s play and role have been upgraded. According to statistics, in the previous three knockout matches, Brown successively got 28 points, 8 assists, 10 points, 11 assists, and 29 points and 6 assists. Among them, in the game of eliminating Germany, Brown’s scoring ability broke out, he led the team alone to complete the super reversal. In the finals with France on 19th, Brown switched from scorer to assists master.
“Domestication” has become a common trend in world basketball. It is understood that many top teams in this European Championship have naturalized players, and “domestication” has become an increasingly common trend in world basketball. So, do Chinese men’s basketball need to introduce naturalized players?
A few years ago, the Chinese Basketball Association considered the possibility of domestication Lin Shuhao, but due to many aspects involved in domestication procedures, it failed to be implemented in the end. During this European Championship, the outside world discussed the possibility of naturalizing players again. Even News showed that the Chinese Basketball Association had already had candidates for naturalized players and reported them to the management department for approval.
The naturalized player is a “strong medicine”, but it is not easy to judge whether it can be called a “good medicine.
