As early as the beginning of the year, the Asian Basketball Federation announced on its official website that considering the tense situation in Lebanon, the Executive Committee of the Asian Basketball Federation officially decided to change the venue of the 27th Asian Basketball Championship from Beirut, the capital of Lebanon, to Manila, the capital of the Philippines.
虽然更换了举办地，但第27届男篮亚锦赛的比赛时间不会变更，依旧是2013年8月1日到8月11日。
The Chinese men's basketball team was divided into Group C, along with Iran, South Korea and Malaysia.
In Asian basketball, the three teams of China, Iran and South Korea are in the same group, which can basically be regarded as the "group of death".
In this Asian Championship, the top three teams will directly qualify for the 2014 Basketball World Cup.
The 12-man roster of the Chinese men's basketball team is: Xie Kai, Yi Jianlian, Wang Zhizhi, Zhou Peng, Zhu Fangyu, Wang Shipeng, Sun Yue, Guo Ailun, Liu Xiaoyu, Chen Jianghua, Li Xiaoxu and Wang Zhelin.
The Chinese men's basketball team arrived in Manila as early as the end of July to prepare for the Asian Championships.
Xie Kai's popularity is so high that the Chinese men's basketball team canceled the public training session for this reason.
In the United States on the other side of the ocean, the Grizzlies continued to recruit. On July 7, the Memphis Grizzlies officially announced that the team has officially signed a contract with Mike Miller, a pitcher who played for the Heat last season, and the latter officially returned to the Grizzlies after a lapse of 31 years.
Since joining the Heat, Miller has helped the team reach the Finals for three consecutive years. During the regular season, Miller played a total of 3 games, including 59 starts, averaging 17 points, 15.3 rebounds and 4.8 assists in 2.7 minutes per game.
On July 7, the Heat pardoned Miller, who earned an annual salary of $17 million. After being pardoned, Miller received invitations from many teams, including the Grizzlies. However, after consideration, the marksman finally decided to Return to Memphis.
You must know that the Grizzlies and the Heat were opponents in the finals last season. Mike Miller also needs to bear a certain amount of pressure when he returns to the Grizzlies.However, his teammates in the Heat all wished him well and sent him congratulations.
Signing Miller with a minimum salary is the best proof of the Grizzlies' attractiveness in free agency.
Xie Kai also sent a tweet to welcome Miller. As the leader of the team, he needs to have a certain attitude. He can't hold grudges just because the opponent was a member of the opponent in the previous finals. Otherwise, who would want to join him in the future?
Miller is not too old to play, he still has some fuel in the tank, judging from his performance in the finals last season, he can still provide some outside firepower on the bench.
At 8:1 on August 17, the Chinese men's basketball team ushered in the first opponent of the Asian Championships, the South Korean men's basketball team.
The two teams have been deadly rivals since the 90s, but since the birth of Yao Ming to the now Xiekai Wizards, the two teams are no longer at the same level.
The starting lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team is: center - Wang Zhelin, power forward - Yi Jianlian, small forward - Zhou Peng, shooting guard - Xie Kai, point guard - Sun Yue.
The overall height of the Chinese men's basketball team is very scary. Xie Kai, who is 196cm, is actually the only one who is less than 2 meters...
At the beginning of the game, the Chinese men's basketball team took advantage of the inside line, and the king almost wanted to eat the inside line of the Korean men's basketball team.
Xie Kai played very easily, turned into a shooter, and hit the balls that his teammates gave out after attracting double-teams inside!
In the first quarter, the Chinese men's basketball team led by a double-digit score advantage, and the two teams were not at the same level of strength.The on-site commentator joked that Xie Kai was like doing a shooting practice instead of a game.
Xie Kai clocked out of get off work at halftime, and didn't play in the second half at all.
The young players of the Chinese men's basketball team, like Guo Ailun and others, got a good training opportunity. Although the opponent is not strong, it is better than playing internal training games.
The strength of the South Korean men's basketball team is limited, but they play very aggressively, which is very suitable for training.
There was no suspense in the result of the game. The Chinese men's basketball team finally won the Korean men's basketball team by 23 points and got off to a good start.
Xie Kai played only halftime and easily scored 20 points, which set the tone for the team's victory.
After the game, Xie Kai said in an interview: "I am not injured, and it is also the coach's arrangement not to play in the second half. I feel great now, and we have to play well in the next game."
On August 8, the Toronto Raptors announced the official signing of Austin Daye. Daye and the Raptors reached a two-year contract totaling $2 million.
In this way, the Grizzlies are tantamount to giving up Daye.In fact, with them keeping Joan Ruel, Daye is basically going to leave.It seems that he only needs a basic salary, but for the already overcapped Grizzlies, the pressure of the luxury tax is really quite big.
At 8 o'clock on August 2, the Chinese men's basketball team ushered in the second opponent of the group stage, the Malaysian men's basketball team.The gap between the two teams is too great, Xie Kai did not play in this game, but even so, the Malaysian men's basketball team still lost to the opponent 11:2.
At 8:3 on August 17, the Chinese men's basketball team faced the strongest opponent in Group C, the Iranian men's basketball team.
The core of the Iranian team, Haddadi is Xie Kai's former teammate, and the two still have a certain understanding of each other.
本场比赛，这是中国男篮亚锦赛开赛以来面对的最大的挑战。不过凭借着谢开的31+5+5+2+2和易建联的21+12+2+1+3，中国男篮还是以10分的优势击败了强大的伊朗男篮，迎来了小组赛的全胜。晋级8强。
From the end of the group stage to the quarter-finals, there are several days of rest in between.
On August 8, the Chinese men's basketball team faced the Jordan men's basketball team.
The strength of the Jordanian men's basketball team is far inferior to that of the Iranian men's basketball team. The Chinese men's basketball team has won the opponent by 3 points in 30 quarters.
The next day, the Chinese men's basketball team faced the Chinese Taipei men's basketball team in the semifinals.Chinese Taipei naturalized a black player, Davis, to strengthen the weak inside.
But relying on Davis cannot resist the inside line of the Chinese men's basketball team.
The Chinese men's basketball team still locked the victory in 3 quarters, which can be regarded as saving face for the compatriots and did not win too much.
On August 8, the Chinese men's basketball team defeated the Iranian men's basketball team in the final and defended the championship of the Asian Championships.
After winning the Asian Championships, Xie Kai lamented that although the overall level of basketball in Asia is improving, compared with Europe and the United States, there is a big gap in terms of personal ability and skills and tactics.
The Chinese men's basketball team won the championship, and the team returned to BJ.After summarizing and celebrating, everyone disbanded.
In mid-August, Xie Kai helped Lenovo Computer and Wahaha Beverage, which he endorsed, shoot advertisements, and began to formulate the next training plan.And his new wife, Zhou Jing, was not idle after marriage, she did not live the life of a reclusive rich wife, but devoted herself to work, participating in some business activities and conducting business negotiations on Xie Kai's behalf, but she was extremely busy.
