A well-known domestic media personality reported:Guangzhou team loans Liu Wenke, this year's first-round pick (9th), second-round pick (29th), and some cash to Sichuan team in exchange for the 2026 top pick

Liu Wenke was born on October 27, 2006, only 19 years old, a center with height 2.18m and weight 100kg. He was promoted to the Guangzhou men's basketball first team last September, but did not appear in any CBA regular season games last season. He averaged 5.7 rebounds and 2.3 blocks per game in the 2022 National U17 Men's Basketball Competition.

Next, let's talk about national team news, It is said that the naturalized player program has been suspended, and it is difficult to determine when it will resume, It seems that the Chinese men's basketball team is determined to pursue the 2027 World Cup ticket and the 2028 Olympic qualification with an all-domestic lineup.

The first naturalized player in Chinese men's basketball history is Kyle Anderson, an active NBA forward with one-eighth Chinese blood (his great-grandfather was a Hakka from Guangdong). He played in the 2023 World Cup, averaging 13 points, 5.6 rebounds, and 3.4 assists per game, but the team only managed a poor 1-4 record and missed the 2024 Paris Olympics.
