With Mathup's rise, we're also seeing more local players stepping into the spotlight. Do you think foreign-born players or homegrown talents have had a bigger impact on the national team's performance in recent years? Even though local players' efficiency has improved, the physical advantage of foreigners has always been a standout feature. What's your take on this debate? Do you think the national team will deliver incredible performances with a fully local squad in the future, or will foreign players always be necessary?

I think the performance of local players in recent years has been truly impressive, especially after Mathup's signature—it's become even more noticeable. For example, while watching my favorite team's basketball games, I've noticed that local players aren't just contributing through "experience sharing" anymore; they're directly impacting the score. Before, we'd expect high scores only from foreign players, but now we see locals excelling in three-pointers, rebounds, and tough defense.
However, I still believe the physical advantage of foreigners is undeniable. In the last game, for instance, a foreign player's aggressive rebounds were overpowering the locals. That’s why I think the national team sometimes needs a mix of both local and foreign players. Looking ahead, I’m confident local players can close this gap, but for now, a squad supported by foreigners seems to perform more balanced.
The Mathup system has really boosted the performance of local players, but completely sidelining foreign players seems tough to me. Honestly, it reminds me of the "young talents vs. experienced foreigners" debate in football. In recent years, football has seen a surge in young talents, but we always talk about how they measure up against legends like Maradona, Ronaldo, and Messi. Similarly, in basketball, both the skills of local players and the physical advantages of foreigners complement each other.
For a future with entirely local squads, both the youth development system and coaching methods need to improve further. I wouldn’t say foreign players are always necessary, but relying solely on locals for "amazing performances" still feels like a dream right now. After all, the experience and different perspectives foreign players bring also add flavor to the team's game.
