1-for-1 swap! A deal suddenly struck! A rotation-level forward for the Chinese men's basketball team.

The CBA's summer break this year hasn't been particularly eventful, consisting mainly of small-scale transactions...

According to a prominent domestic journalist:The Beijing Royal Fighters traded cash to the Qingdao Eagles for Zhao Jiayi.Earlier, Zhao Jiayi had inked a two-year C-class renewal contract with the Qingdao team.

This player, born on January 6, 1999, is a forward with a height of 2.06 meters and a wingspan of 2.06 meters.

Throughout his CBA career so far, Zhao Jiayi has played for both the Guangsha Lions and the Qingdao Eagles, with the following stats:

In the regular season, he averaged 24.5 minutes, 8.9 points, 3.6 rebounds, and 1 assist per game, with shooting percentages of 47.1%, 37.9%, and 80.6% from the field, three-point line, and free-throw line, respectively.

In the playoffs, he averaged 16.8 minutes, 5 points, 2 rebounds, and 0.7 assists per game, with shooting percentages of 36.4%, 30.8%, and 89.3%.

Since Guo Shiqiang took over as head coach of the Chinese men's national team, Zhao Jiayi has been given multiple opportunities to represent the country, such as in the 2025 Asian Cup against India, where he shot 11-of-6 (4-of-3 from three-point range) for 17 points, but overall his performance has been mediocre, drawing considerable criticism.
