The 2023-2024 CBA League is in full swing, and the CBA company released the "Basic Information of Domestic Players in the 2023-2024 Chinese Men's Basketball Professional League" on January 25, hereinafter referred to as "The relationship between youth training achievements and league results has become an important information that this "wants to show to the outside world."
**There are 3 chapters in total: player registration, player career, and physical fitness test. Among them, the player registration chapter shows the composition of the players in the CBA league in a more complete and systematic way, as well as the changes in the player registration level of each club in recent seasons.
This season, for example, there are 354 registered domestic players, compared to 366 last season. Guangzhou, Tianjin, Tongxi, and Ningbo have all registered 20 players, and the Jilin men's basketball team has the smallest number of registered players, with only 14 players. In terms of the origins of registered players, there are 49 players from Liaoning, 44 from Shandong and 35 from Henan, which can be called "China's major basketball province".
Of course, the outside world is most concerned about the youth training of each club reflected through ***.
Of the 354 registered domestic players in the 2023-2024 season, 265 are from the youth teams of CBA clubs. Guangdong Hongyuan, Shenzhen New Century, Zhejiang Guangsha and Zhejiang Chouzhou Club Youth Team have sent more than 20 players. Among them, the youth team of Guangdong Hongyuan Club has sent the most players, reaching 29 people, and there are 12 clubs with registered players including Guangdong Hongyuan Club youth training players. The youth team of Shenzhen New Century Club has sent 25 players, which are also distributed among the registered players of 12 clubs.
Another statistic is very interesting. **Statistics of the registration of players sent by the youth teams of various clubs in the CBA league this season from the 2018-2019 season to the 2022-2023 season: 14 of the 19 people sent by Guangdong Hongyuan are still successfully registered, 11 of the 21 people sent by Xinjiang clubs have been successfully registered, 11 out of 18 people sent by Zhejiang Guangsha have been successfully registered, 11 people have been successfully registered among the 14 people sent by Shenzhen, and 10 people have been successfully registered in Chouzhou, Zhejiang. It shows that the youth training system of these clubs has a good quality.
The level of the club's youth will largely determine the team's results, as evidenced by the current ranking of the teams this season.
As of January 29, the top five teams in the current standings are Xinjiang, Liaoning, Guangsha, Guangdong and Zhejiang. In the above two statistics, the names of these teams, except for Liaoning, are impressively listed. However, it should be pointed out that the Liaoning men's basketball team is also not low in the ranking of the two statistics.
There is also a statistic that can confirm the importance of youth training from another level. Guangdong, Zhejiang Chouzhou, Guangsha and Shenzhen are the top four clubs with self-cultivated players - they already have good quality of youth training, and they are "children" trained by themselves, so it is not surprising that they have a relatively more sense of belonging than the players they have introduced, and they can play tough battles.
You look at the two teams in Zhejiang, basically they are their own trained players, this group of players are about the same age, they played together when they were very young, they are very familiar with each other, after the experience of the previous few years, it is time to produce results. Moreover, the team also has a good plan, there are new players coming out, and some old players who are not very useful will be let go to other clubs, forming a virtuous circle. Former Chinese men's basketball player Jiao Jian sighed.
In fact, in addition to the clubs in Guangdong, Zhejiang Chouzhou, Guangsha, Shenzhen, and Xinjiang, many clubs in the league have begun to make efforts in youth training. Taking the Qingdao men's basketball team, which is currently ranked sixth in the league, as an example, after several seasons of hard work, they have completed the construction of the five-level youth training system and have won the championship of the U17 National Youth League consecutively. In the club's reserve league, they have also achieved great results. Among them, Yang Hansen and Duan Angjun have entered the professional league this season, and Yang Hansen has been selected into the All-Star starting lineup, and the future national team will definitely have a place for this young player.
It can be seen that although the investment in youth training is large, the cycle is long, and the success rate cannot be guaranteed, only by attaching importance to youth training will the club have a greater possibility to achieve ideal results in the CBA league. Only when more clubs respect the law of basketball development and are willing to work youth training can a virtuous circle be formed, and the Chinese men's basketball team can achieve a real "blowout" in reserve talents and return to the international arena with confidence and heritage.
