The new season of the CBA league is still in the offseason, and fans’ attention has shifted to overseas leagues. After Yang Hansen has adapted to the NBA preseason and played phenomenal data, Yu Jiahao, who was once as famous as Yang Hansen, has lost his worth. In the third round of the Spanish Second League between Cantabria and Palencia, Yu Jiahao played only 13 minutes and scored 2 points, 2 rebounds and 1 assist on 1 of 2 shots on the offensive end. There is no doubt that Yu Jiahao did not suffer the dimensionality reduction in the Spanish Second League as predicted by outside fans. Today, Yu Jiahao's playing time, scoring, and rebounding data have even reduced him to a second-rate center in the league.

This season, Yu Jiahao's three games in the Spanish League are getting worse and worse. After the opponent basically studied Yu Jiahao thoroughly, the main center of the Chinese men's basketball team was basically unable to play his own advantages, and would even be targeted infinitely in the game. You know, Yu Jiahao participated in the national team's Asian Cup training this summer, and was once hailed as the age insider closest to Yang Hansen. And Yu Jiahao, like Lin Wei, Yang Hansen, Zeng Fanbo, Zhang Boyuan and others, made the decision to study abroad. With the Zhejiang team losing their title card, Yu Jiahao joined the Bilbao team in the Spanish First Division and was "delegated" on loan to the Cantabria team in the Spanish Second Division.

In the preseason, Yu Jiahao averaged 12.5 points and 7.8 rebounds per game, which seemed to prove his ability to survive in Spain's European tactical system. However, the intensity and rhythm of the regular season still forced Yu Jiahao to retreat. Although the intensity of physical confrontation and the pace of the game in La Liga are not as high as those in La Liga, they are far superior to those in the CBA League. Although Yu Jiahao is currently Asia's dominant insider, he is basically unable to adapt to European competitions. Moreover, the height advantage that Yu Jiahao relied on to survive in the CBA league was basically unable to show his own characteristics in front of stronger European teams with higher tactical literacy. Instead, it was Yu Jiahao's movement speed that caused him to be targeted endlessly by his opponents.

Now, Yu Jiahao has completely closed the gap with Yang Hansen. You know, Yang Hansen has already scored 16+4+3 in the second game of the NBA preseason, and may even squeeze out the Trail Blazers' main center in the future. On the other hand, Yu Jiahao is not only no longer comparable to Yang Hansen, but his development is even worse than that of the local centers in the CBA League. Yu Jiahao's predicament reflects the huge front line of Chinese players' impact on overseas leagues. This may be the main reason why more players are willing to stay in the comfort zone of the CBA league and do not intend to compete in higher-level leagues. But no matter how Yu Jiahao develops in the end, at least his willingness to go out still deserves the recognition of fans.

Although Yu Jiahao is currently in a difficult situation, studying abroad is still a decision of great courage and foresight. In particular, the Chinese men's basketball team currently needs more local players who can establish themselves in high-level leagues to lay the foundation for the rise of the national team. Therefore, Yu Jiahao must adjust as soon as possible in subsequent games to show his own characteristics and open the way for Chinese players to compete in European leagues.
