Rose deserved to win the Rookie of the Season award. Although his statistics are not explosive, his potential and leadership skills still allowed him to securely win this honor.

The best rookie basically reserves a spot on the best rookie team, so for other outstanding rookies, everyone has to compete for the remaining 9 positions.

Xie Kai's life at his home in Long Beach, Los Angeles, was a bit boring. He had nothing to do, and his parents didn't let him do anything for fear that he would be tired. He felt like he was being kept as a pet, which was not a very comfortable feeling.

.

After a season, through awareness training, real training and actual combat, the values ​​in Xie Kai's personal ability quantification table have changed.

His offense increased from "47" at the beginning of the season to "52", among which his scoring ability increased from "44" to "52", his "tactical quality" increased from "52" to "56", and his "passing ability" increased from

"41" increased to "49", and "ball control ability" increased from "49" to "53".

In addition to offense, the defensive ability has increased from "53" to "58", the physical quality has increased from "62" to "65", and the mental quality has increased from "71" to "80".

It can be said that Xie Kai has experienced a rookie season and has improved in all aspects compared to the beginning of the season. Although it will not make him an All-Star player instantly, it is not that he has completed his transformation, but at least he has made significant progress, which can be regarded as something.

A gratifying thing.

After one season, Xie Kai earned a total income of about US$1 million through his rookie contract and commercial endorsements. For a person like him who has never made a lot of money, this is a huge sum of money.

Xie Kai is a good boy. He gave half of his income to his mother for safekeeping and kept half for himself. He knows the importance of money. Although he earns more than ordinary working-class people playing in the NBA, he eats youth food and still has a lot of money.

Unstable. Who knows where the next contract will be. The competitive pressure here is unimaginable.

So if you don’t know how to save money, no matter how much you earn, it will be spent all. Many NBA stars live miserable lives in their later years. Such examples are not uncommon.

Of course Xie Kai wants to make a career in the NBA, but he also understands that a dream is just a dream and may not necessarily come true. Therefore, if you save more money, even if you can't survive in the NBA, you and your family will still have enough money to buy a house and live a happy life.

Good days.

Chen Guixiang received the money transferred to her from Xie Kai in her account, which made her excited for several days. Her son let her keep his salary, which shows that he is a filial person and a good boy who knows how to save money.

"Akai, you really make a lot of money playing golf! You make a lot more than your dad!" Chen Guixiang said excitedly at the dinner table.

Xie Chongyang didn't feel embarrassed at all. He thought it was normal for his son to surpass him: "I said Guixiang, Akai is also a basketball star after all, and this is only his first year's salary!"

Xie Kai nodded and said: "I make a small amount of money. A star like Kobe James earns over 100 million yuan a year!"

Chen Guixiang was so surprised that she couldn't close her mouth. How could he have so much money? If Xie Kai could earn 100 million, then his family would really not have to worry about it for the rest of his life. Whether he stays in the United States or returns to China, he can live a very happy life.

A decent life.

"Hey, by the way, Akai, I heard from Yixin that you seem to have a girlfriend named... named... Jing. Is this the case?" Chen Guixiang asked.

Xie Xie was shocked. This Yang Yixin has such a big mouth. Why does he tell his mother everything? What should he do?

Seeing the uncertainty on her son's face, Chen Guixiang felt that there was something fishy about this matter, and naturally wanted to get to the bottom of it.

Xie Kai knew his mother's temper, so he looked at his father for help.

Xie Chongyang has a high emotional intelligence and consciously told him about this matter, but his son does not want to make it public yet. He quickly changed the topic: "Akai, what are your plans for this summer vacation?"

Xie Kai glanced at his father gratefully and quickly replied: "I plan to train hard and try to get a chance to start in the new season!"

Chen Guixiang saw that Xie Kai and the others had been chatting about the future and ignored her. She felt a little unbalanced and complained: "I just talk while eating, and the dishes are almost cold. It's easy for me to cook!"

Seeing his mother complaining, Xie Kai knew that he had escaped a disaster...

On May 1, the NBA officially announced the All-Rookie Team for the 2008-09 season.

The NBA All-Rookie Team is the best team selected by the NBA every year since the 1962-1963 season among the top rookies in the regular season.

Participating in the selection are the head coaches of 30 NBA teams. These head coaches do not consider player positions when voting, and only select the two rookie lineups they think are the best. Of course, these coaches are not allowed to vote for their own disciples.

The All-Rookie Team usually consists of two sets of 5-man lineups, namely the first team and the second team. Players who receive votes from the first team are awarded 2 points, and players who receive votes from the second team are awarded 1 point. The final score is determined by the number of points scored.

Two lineups: the five players with the highest scores form the first team, and the five players ranked 6-10 form the second team.

The winners of the All-Rookie First Team are: Russell Westbrook, Xie Kai, OJ Mayo, Brook Lopez and Derrick Rose.

The second team is: Mario Chalmers, Marc Gasol, Kevin Love, Eric Gordon and Michael Beasley.

Although Xie Kai was placed in the second team in previous media predictions, after the actual results came out, he was still included in the first team.

Xie Kai was selected to the All-Rookie Team this season, which also means that Barkley lost a bet and will kiss a donkey's butt in public for the second time.

As soon as this result came out, it immediately aroused heated discussion. The main point of discussion was still on Xie Kai.

What everyone is questioning is whether Xie Kai is qualified to be selected for the All-Rookie Team. Many media people and NBA celebrities believe that Xie Kai is not qualified to be selected, and his position should be given to Beasley or Kevin Love.

This opinion soon aroused the echo of many people. These people are skeptical about the NBA's selection of the best rookie team and believe that popularity cannot be used as the basis for selection.

In the face of doubts, Xie Kai did not express any opinions. This kind of thing cannot be quantified in the first place, and there is still some subjectivity in it. Even if we argue for 100 years, nothing can be argued. He is in a good mood now, not because of himself

Winning the bet with Barkley was because his performance was recognized. You must know that the head coaches of each team participated in the selection. These people really understand the game, not those who focus on the news all day long.
