Chapter 226 Joining the Chinese Men's Basketball Team
Although the management of the Kings has some regrets about this result, it is still acceptable. The No. [-] pick is indeed a good thing. Judging from their luck in the previous draft lottery, it is almost impossible to get this lottery.
The No. 1 pick John Wall played at the No. [-] position, and just right, the Kings had Tyreke Evans, who had just won the best rookie in this position, so they didn't want Wall that much.Their draft this time should be more flexible, and they can finally decide whether to choose a striker or an insider according to the situation of the free market.
Although this year is not a big draft year, there are still many outstanding rookies participating.Therefore, the position of the Kings' lottery can be regarded as a chance to miss it. Even if there is no chance to miss it, there are still many talented young people for them to choose from.
Xie Kai's training lasted more than 20 days and officially ended at the end of May.
After training, Xie Kai left for Los Angeles immediately, and went to the University of Kansas to meet Zhou Jing. He hadn't seen her these days, and he still missed her very much.Talking on the phone every day can no longer satisfy this constant longing.
But Zhou Jing didn't believe Xie Kai's explanation of wanting her. She felt that the reason why he came to her was because he wanted to do bad things!
"Bad thing? That doesn't exist, I'm not that kind of person!" Xie Kai hugged Zhou Jing and said solemnly.But the body is honest, he started, and could only selectively ignore Zhou Jing's contemptuous eyes.
In early June, Xie Kai participated in a charity event in Las Vegas.On the day of the event, he received a call from a stranger.
Looking at the phone number, Xie Kai knew it was a call from China.
Xie Kai was puzzled, and when he connected the phone, a middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, is it Xie Kai?"
— This man speaks Mandarin.
Xie Kai was not familiar with this voice, his private mobile phone number was not disclosed, and not many people knew about it.Therefore, it is unlikely to be the kind of scam calls or harassing calls in China.
"I am, may I ask who are you?" Xie Kai asked back?
"Hello, thank you, I'm Gong Luming, the leader of the Chinese men's basketball team!" The middle-aged man on the other end of the phone reported himself.
It turned out to be Gong Luming!
Xie Kai was very surprised. Although he has been in the United States since elementary school, he still knows the influential figures in the domestic basketball circle.And Gong Luming is one of them.
What did he ask me for?This was Xie Kai's question, but he felt that it was useless to speculate, the other party would definitely tell him.As the leader of the Chinese men's basketball team, it is likely that I am looking for basketball.
"Hello, Director Gong! I'm sorry I didn't recognize your voice just now!" Xie Kai greeted politely. Gong Luming was older than his father, and as a member of the older generation of men's basketball team, he was considered He has dominated the basketball world for many years.
"I was the one who was abrupt and didn't say hello to you in advance. I should be the one who should say sorry! I got your mobile phone number from Dayao!" Gong Luming was very polite and demeanor, let Xie One of the happy mysteries disappeared, but what the other party's purpose was, this was what he wanted to know most.
"It's okay, Director Gong, what can you do for me?" Xie Kai asked.He knew that in China, it was rare to get straight to the point when discussing business matters. Usually, he would exchange polite greetings first before discussing business matters.In the United States, it is more straightforward.He felt that the greetings between himself and Director Gong were enough. The two were not familiar with each other.
"This is Xie, what do you think of the Chinese men's basketball team?" Gong Luming asked.
Xie Kai was still not sure what Gong Luming's intention was when he asked this question, but he felt that the other party's question made him feel more and more that the other party's purpose was to invite him to join the Chinese men's basketball team.
Xie Kai also understands the current situation of the Chinese men's basketball team. Yao Ming is still recovering from his injury.
This team needs young blood and capable players.Xie Kai felt that it was reasonable for him to be favored by the national team after he had established himself in the NBA!
"The Chinese men's basketball team is very good. There are NBA players such as Dayao and Arab League. There are a large number of outstanding players from various CBA teams. The overall strength is still very good!" Xie Kai said.
"Then if the Basketball Association invites you, are you willing to join?" Gong Luming's voice was very calm.
Xie Kai was silent for a while, and then said: "I am willing!"
Gong Luming didn't blurt out his agreement to Xie Kai, he didn't feel that Xie Kai was reluctant or because of face, but felt that Xie Kai was very sincere.
"I very much hope that you can become a member of the Chinese men's basketball team. We have seen your performance in the NBA. You are very talented and capable. If you can join, our Chinese men's basketball team will become even stronger! "Gong Luming was a little excited, he was very happy, Xie Kai did not refuse to join, nor did he refuse, he seemed very sincere.
"Xiao Xie, you are studying and living in the United States, and you are willing to join the men's basketball team and win glory for the country. I am very touched. I will go to the United States with coach Deng Huade in a few days. Let's meet and talk about it in detail!" Gong Luming said .
"Director Gong is too polite. It is my honor to have the opportunity to serve the country! Welcome to the United States!" Xie Kai said.
After finishing the call with Gong Luming, Xie Kai couldn't calm down for a long time.In his opinion, the country's invitation may come sooner or later. The talent of the Chinese men's basketball team is not rich enough to let him, a player who can contribute 20+5+5 per game in the NBA.There are so many countries in the world, except for the American men's basketball team, who can have so many talented basketball players?
I didn't expect that I would return to China one day because I wanted to join the Chinese men's basketball team!Xie Kai laughed to himself. At that time, he thought that the purpose of returning to China in the future was to meet his future father-in-law and mother-in-law!
A few days later, Gong Luming contacted Xie Kai again, and the two agreed to meet in Los Angeles.
In Xie Kai's aunt Xie Meiya's Chinese restaurant, Xie Kai met Gong Luming and Deng Huade, the current coach of the Chinese men's basketball team.
Deng Huade is chubby and looks very interesting.He is very excited that the team he coaches can introduce young players like Xie Kai who have played in the NBA.
And Gong Luming himself is ugly, although Xie Kai has never met him, but he has seen him on TV many times, so he feels very familiar.
One is the men's basketball coach and the other is the men's basketball team leader. The purpose of their meeting with Xie Kai is to invite him to officially join the Chinese men's basketball team.They also brought news this time that the men's basketball team's next important game is the Men's Basketball World Championships.
