The NBA China game has resumed this year. The Brooklyn Nets and Phoenix Suns have arrived in Macau, China, for two preseason games.

This kind of game has indeed been a long time coming, because the NBA had made some inappropriate remarks before, and the relationship with China suddenly dropped to a freezing point. However, in recent years, the cooperation between Chinese basketball and the NBA is gradually recovering. Not only have many young Chinese players challenged the NBA, but the NBA has also returned to more games and activities.

Taking advantage of the NBA China Game, Chinese Basketball Association Chairman Guo Zhenming also went to Macau to meet with NBA President Xiao Hua and announced the content of the cooperation.

This cooperation is very rich and concise, covering all aspects of Chinese basketball: the NBA fully supports the construction of the Chinese men's and women's basketball national teams, and will provide the teams with training and competition opportunities to participate in the NBA Summer League and WNBA preseason games in the United States; the NBA will help China's New Year The development of young players helps select potential rookies to participate in Basketball Without Borders training camps, NBA Basketball Academy, and trial training in the NBA, WNBA, and NBA Development League; the NBA promotes the improvement of the basketball talent system and empowers Chinese coaches and referees through special training in China, the United States, and online.

In other words, the NBA should provide all-round support to Chinese basketball from the national team to the clubs, from the men's basketball team to the women's basketball team, from players to coaches and referees. Guo Zhenming and Xiao Hua took a group photo, which was also a historic group photo, announcing that Chinese basketball and the NBA had broken the ice and that the two sides had resumed close exchanges and cooperation.

Nowadays, Chinese basketball is actively going abroad. Players such as Yang Hansen, Zeng Fanbo and Li Yueru are all playing in the United States, and the work of introducing them cannot stop.
