Chapter 130

Xie Kai didn't want to continue discussing with his mentor on this issue, so he immediately changed the topic: "Coach, do you think I need to deliberately gain weight?"

Coach Bill Self thought for a while and replied: "There is no need to deliberately gain weight. For you, the strength type is not your final development direction. It is not wise to give up your flexibility for the sake of strength. You need to do as much as your body allows. Under the circumstances, gain weight appropriately, adjust your diet structure, increase some strength training, and improve your confrontation ability. At the same time, you must continue to develop your strengths, and you cannot ignore outside shooting practice.”

Some aspects of the teacher's thinking coincide with Xie Kai's own thinking. He completely trusts Bill Self and will seriously refer to the other party's suggestions.

Bill Self helped Xie Kai introduce a basketball nutritionist to help him formulate a diet that fit his actual situation.

Xie Kai now needs more and more professionals. He knows that in the NBA, big-name players basically have their own teams.The team is composed of many professionals, such as trainers (shooting, physical fitness), nutritionists, sparring partners, and so on.

Xie Kai does not yet have the ability to form his own professional team, but he decided that if he has the ability in the future, he will not hesitate to spend a lot of money to form his own team.

Because of the free training, many of Xie Kai’s personal trainings are carried out in the special training, which allows him to watch the ongoing playoffs during the day, watch the regular season videos that have just passed or previous years’ game videos .

Xie Kai found a place to live near the University of Kansas and trained at the University of Kansas.Training here with him is also his teammate and Grizzlies insider Darrell Arthur.

The University of Kansas welcomes outstanding figures like Xie Kai to return to their alma mater, so they are very supportive and welcome.

During this period of time, Zhou Jing felt very happy. She could see her sweetheart at any time after studying, and felt that her life was very fulfilling.

On May 5th, the results of the much-anticipated 20 NBA draft lottery were announced. The final No. 2009 pick was drawn by the Los Angeles Clippers, while the Grizzlies and Thunder got the second and third picks respectively. .

Chris Webber, who drew lots on behalf of the Kings, was unlucky. They had the worst record in the league during the regular season and failed to draw the top 3 picks, only ranking 4th.

The "Old King" Chris Webber, who drew lots on behalf of the Kings, originally had a 25% chance of winning the No. 4 pick, which is the highest probability among all teams, but unfortunately his luck is not as good as the representatives of the Clippers, Grizzlies and Thunder.According to the principle of the reverse order of the records of the 14th to 4th picks, the Kings only got the [-]th pick.

Suffice it to say, the Kings' No. 4 pick was the worst they could have gotten.

Hearing about this from the news, Xie Kai lamented that sometimes people are not as good as God, and you can indeed get a high-ranking draft pick if you are poor, but if you want to get the No. [-] pick, almost the worst record is just a higher probability in theory. The actual drawn results are often not as expected.

In the NBA, although there are many top picks in the history of the draft, many of them are lost.There is even a saying in the league that "No. [-] pick must have water", but the value of the No. [-] lottery is still visible to the naked eye.

Although only one person can be selected for the No. 1 lottery, one person is also selected for the 60th pick in the second round.But with the No. 1 lottery, you can have the first choice.This is too important. Once there is a rookie who may become a historical superstar, only the No. [-] pick can securely win this person!

For those small ball market teams, those cornerstones are too important.In this regard, the Spurs and Cavaliers empathize.

The No. 4 pick of the Kings is neither embarrassing nor embarrassing.Even if you are optimistic about a certain rookie, it is very likely that the team that owns the top 3 pick is interested in it. When the time comes to be cut off, this feeling can only be experienced by the team that has been cut off.

Not only is it possible to be intercepted, but another embarrassing thing is whether the player you selected with the No. 4 pick is talented enough to be the cornerstone of reconstruction.The Kings are rebuilding, and they urgently need a cornerstone that will give them a chance to compete for a championship in the future.As for the No. 4 pick, can such a cornerstone be selected?

The Kings have been unlucky in the draft lottery. The last time they got a pick higher than the No. 4 pick was the No. 1991 pick in the [-] draft. They selected forward Billy Owens.

Obviously, even if they don't get the top 3 picks, it is almost impossible for the Kings, who are in desperate need of young talented men, to trade the No. 4 pick.More likely, they trade with the top 3 picks and add some chips in exchange for their picks.

But the problem is that the teams with the top 3 picks are all rebuilding teams. They also need high-ranking talented men to change the status quo of the team, so the possibility of trading is not very great.

The management of the Kings has been investigating the No. 4 pick Blake Griffin and others. Who knows that the No. 2 pick is now in their hands, so they can only think about going to the second most popular echelon to see if there is such a great potential. can choose.

Xie Kai has been training with his mentor, Bill Self, and he has gained a lot under the guidance of his mentor.

When Bill Self saw Xie Kai now, he really felt that this was not the Xie Kai he knew before.This physical fitness is also too good, really not inferior to those so-called physical fitness men in the NBA.Xie Kai, who was struggling to play a fancy dunk before, can now play a big windmill with ease, which is simply unbelievable.

What Coach Bill Self appreciates is that during the offseason, many NBA players relax and let themselves go, and Xie Kai is also conscientiously sweating hard in the training hall. This kind of hard work attitude and infinite love for basketball Love is a necessary condition for being a great player.

He has seen too many talented players waste their talents because they did not control their off-court life, and they were lost to everyone. The competition in the NBA is too cruel, and it is difficult to maintain the state in such a league if you let yourself go without restraint.

One night, Xie Kai and Zhou Jing, who had been training for a day, took a walk by a quiet river near the school.

"What are your plans for the summer vacation?" Xie Kai asked first.

"Why did you ask me this suddenly?" Zhou Jing looked up at Xie Kai.

"It's nothing, I just want to know your summer vacation arrangements!" Xie Kai explained.

"I won't tell you—" Zhou Jing suddenly broke free from Xie Kai's hand, and walked forward by herself.
