The news on the Internet about the full opening of foreign aid for the 2026-27 season of the Japanese Basketball League has caused an uproar among Chinese fans. Many fans believe that the CBA fully foresaw what the B-League would look like. Is the use of foreign aid a good or bad thing for the national team's results? The special opening of foreign players in the Japan B League is as follows: 2 European and American foreign players, 1 domestic player and 1 Asian foreign player can play at the same time. In other words, there can be 4 non-Japanese players on the field, and they can play with no time limit! 
Some fans said that if Japanese basketball continues like this, local players will be functional, and they can only defend and shoot three-pointers, leaving all the shooting rights to foreign players. These concerns are based solely on cost-effectiveness, as the foreign aid policy has not been finalized, and there is a fear that foreign aid will take away the right to play for local players. Today, the CBA is restricting foreign aid to the extreme. Only one foreign aid can be used in the last quarter. Unless the team finished bottom last season, it is possible to use two foreign players in a quarter. 
However, the level of the Chinese men's basketball team has declined in recent years, and it is so serious that it can no longer gain a foothold in the top ranks of Asia. Therefore, if the Japanese B League opens up foreign aid, it will indeed improve the performance of the national team. Is it the other way around? CBA's face? In fact, the situation in China and Japan is completely different. Neither Europe nor the NBA restricts foreign aid, but why is their league so popular and so high? The main reason is that their lower leagues are very stable. Players who are unable to participate in the higher leagues can be sent to the lower leagues. Without outside help, they have a good opportunity to train themselves. There are many more such examples, such as Yuta Watanabe. Didn't he get the NBA spot from the Development League? We also have the young player Konfutse, who is currently training in the lower Italian leagues. Looking back at the CBA, the so-called secondary NBL actually has nothing to do with the CBA. The NBL has long been a self-sufficient league. Only some of the players who participated in the draft were linked to the CBA. If it is not promoted or promoted, it cannot become a training ground for CBA reserve talents. How do NBLs and CBAs form a virtuous cycle? 
The most terrible thing is that the restriction of foreign aid from Europe and the United States can be said to be because the level of foreign aid from Europe and the United States is much higher than that of local Chinese actors, but it is inappropriate to restrict foreign aid from Asia. Nowadays, the league cooperation between Japan, the Philippines and South Korea is very close, especially when the Filipino foreign players come to play in Japan, they are not considered foreign players. This is also the main reason why the Chinese men's basketball team has repeatedly lost in Asian competitions. Didn't you see that the referee of the match between Japan and China in the Asian qualifiers was Filipino? If not, who do you blame? So, this is a big mistake by Yao Ming. What will be the consequences of the Japanese B-League after opening up foreign players? Is the level of the national team declining? Or a slap in the face of the CBA? In short, such a progressive league can always provide some impetus and food for thought to the CBA.
