Another super foreign player in the CBA has been naturalized! The men s basketball team has added another rival: Will Goodwin play in the Asian Cup?

In recent years, the world basketball world has become a trend, and many teams have begun to naturalize "foreign aid" on a large scale, thereby enhancing the strength of the national team. Look, another super foreign player in the CBA has been naturalized. However, it is quite regrettable that this time the team is not the Chinese team, but the old opponent of the men's basketball team, Qatar. In order to prepare for the next Asian Cup and the World Cup two years later, Qatar has naturalized Shanxi team's super foreign aid Goodwin, who will represent Qatar in this year's Asian Cup. It seems that the Chinese men's basketball team has another big rival back to the top of Asia.

As we all know, with the rapid naturalization of teams such as Japan, the Philippines, and Lebanon, now, the Asian basketball world has gradually become a strong pattern. Compared with the Chinese men's basketball team dominant in the past, these teams are now not inferior to the Chinese team. In order to deal with the world trend, the Chinese team has actually begun to naturalize the model. In the 2023 World Cup, the men's basketball team planned Li Kaier. However, it is quite helpless that Li Kaier is a team player and his ability to fight alone is not very strong. In the World Cup, he did not have much effect on the men's basketball team.

In addition to Li Kaier, many foreign players in the CBA have become potential naturalized targets for men's basketball team in recent years. From Marshan, Wilms and Jones at the time to Blackney and James later. As well as Brown and Lofton today, these CBA super foreign players are regarded as potential naturalized targets of the men's basketball team. Especially this season's MVP of the CBA Finals, it has even been rumored that Guo Shiqiang personally named Brown to naturalize him. However, Brown later rejected the matter of joining the men's basketball team.

However, the targets of the men's basketball team are quick-killing and they did not hesitate like the Chinese team when naturalizing players. Look, after seeing Goodwin's super-god performance in the CBA, Qatar quickly took action. According to the latest news from foreign media, Goodwin has accepted the invitation from Qatar, not only is he naturalized by Qatar, but he will also represent Qatar in this year's Asian Cup. For the Chinese men's basketball team, once Goodwin is naturalized by Qatar and plays on behalf of Qatar, then in the Asian basketball world, the Chinese team will inevitably add another strong opponent.

Goodwin joined the CBA Shanxi team this season. Although this is his first season in the CBA, after joining the Shanxi team, he quickly adapted to the pace of the CBA. In 44 games he played for Shanxi, he averaged 32.5 minutes per game, contributing 25.7 points, 6.0 rebounds, 8.0 assists and 1.2 steals per game. Goodwin showed strong dominance on both sides of the offense and defense. Especially in the playoffs facing Guangdong team, he and Diallo became the nightmare of Guangdong team, and the two teamed up to sweep the 11 championships.

You should know that in Asian basketball, in addition to super centers, small guards are also a big weapon to kill. Like Clarkson of the Philippines, he is the Philippines' super killer. After Clarkson joined, the Philippines has become the top team in Asia. In 2023, the Philippines defeated the Chinese team twice in the World Cup and Asian Games. Nowadays, the naturalized players of the Chinese team have not been released for a long time. Instead, the Philippines, South Korea, Japan and Qatar have frequently naturalized super foreign players. It seems that it will be difficult for the Chinese team to compete for the championship in this year's Asian Cup.
