In the Chinese Basketball Association (CBA) league, how to efficiently use foreign aid resources and promote the development of local players has always been a topic worth pondering. This paper compares and analyzes the differences in the use of foreign aid by different teams in the current league, especially the practical effect of the 4-player and 5-player use system, aiming to achieve a more balanced and effective foreign aid use program, so as to better promote the overall competitive level of the CBA league and the growth of local players.
Take the Tianjin men's basketball team as an example, they carried out a major rebuild last season, transferring the core players of the team and bringing in a group of young players. This season, Tianjin has adopted a five-time foreign aid strategy, a change that allows for a better integration of foreign aid and local young players. The experience and skill of foreign players have led to the rapid growth of young players, which has made the team's tactical system more perfect, the offensive end more fluent, and the team's overall performance and ranking have also been greatly improved. Obviously, this strategy not only enhances the competitiveness of the team, but more importantly, improves the self-confidence of the young players and lays a solid foundation for their careers.
Compared with the strategy of using 4 foreign players, the 5-person system brings more tactical flexibility and change to the team without increasing the occupancy of the ball. In the case of 4 people, the use of foreign aid often needs to be very precise and efficient to ensure that the impact of foreign aid is maximized in a limited time. This not only brings great pressure to the foreign players themselves, but also restricts the interaction and cooperation between local players and foreign players, and sometimes even leads to the lack of opportunities for some local players to play, making it difficult to get effective training and growth. On the other hand, the five-person system, due to the increased flexibility of the use of foreign aid, the team can more flexibly adjust the playing time of foreign aid and the strategy of matching local players according to the game situation and the tactical changes of the opponent. This not only reduces the pressure on foreign players to play their expertise more calmly, but also provides more opportunities for local players to play with high-level foreign players, thus promoting their technical improvement and psychological maturity.
To sum up, the strategy of using foreign aid for 5 times is more conducive to the growth and development of local players while maintaining the tactical diversity and competitiveness of the team. This strategy not only helps to improve the overall level of the CBA league, but also provides a more open and inclusive environment for young players to grow. Of course, how to implement this strategy more effectively in practice requires each team to flexibly adjust and manage according to its own situation and player allocation. In the future, the CBA league may consider this system as an important means to promote the development of the league and the growth of players, in order to achieve the optimal use of foreign aid resources and the continuous emergence of local basketball talents.
