The management of the Kings is a bit regretful about this result, but it is still acceptable. The No. 1 pick is indeed a good thing. Judging from their luck in the previous draft lottery, it is almost impossible to get this pick.

The No. 1 pick, John Wall, plays the No. 1 position, and it just so happens that the Kings have Tyreke Evans, who just won the Rookie of the Year, at this position, so they don't really want to get Wall. They drafted this time.

It should be relatively flexible, and you can ultimately decide whether to choose a forward or an interior line based on the free market situation.

Although this year is not a big year for the draft, there are still many outstanding rookies participating. Therefore, the Kings have a chance to miss out on this pick. Even if there is no chance to miss out, there are still many talented young people for them to choose from.

Xie Kai and their training lasted for more than 20 days and officially ended at the end of May.

After training, Xie Kai immediately left Los Angeles and went to the University of Kansas to see Zhou Jing. He hadn't seen her these days, but he still missed her. Talking on the phone every day could no longer satisfy this constant longing.

However, Zhou Jing didn't believe Xie Kai's explanation that he missed her. She felt that the main 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 swornly. But his body was honest. He moved and could only selectively ignore Zhou Jing's contemptuous eyes.

In early June, Xie Kai attended a charity event in Las Vegas. On the day of the event, he received an unknown phone call.

Looking at the phone number, Xie Kai knew it was a call from China.

Xie Kai was confused and answered the phone. A middle-aged man's voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello, is this Xie Kai?"

——This man speaks Mandarin.

Xie Kai was not familiar with this voice. His private mobile phone number was not made public and not many people knew about it. Therefore, it was unlikely to be a domestic scam call or harassing call.

"I am, who are you?" Xie Kai asked back.

"Hello, thank you, I am Gong Luming, the leader of the Chinese men's basketball team!" The middle-aged man on the other end of the phone introduced himself.

It turns out to be Gong Luming!

Xie Kaixin was very surprised. Although he had been in the United States since elementary school, he still knew the influential figures in the domestic basketball world. Gong Luming was one of them.

What is he looking for me for? This is the question in Xie Xin's heart, but he feels that there is no use in guessing, and the other party will definitely tell him. As the leader of the Chinese men's basketball team, it is very difficult to find me.

Maybe it's a basketball thing.

"Hello, Director Gong! I'm sorry I didn't hear your voice just now!" Xie Kai greeted politely. Gong Luming was older than his father, and as one of the older generation men's basketball members, he was considered

He has dominated the basketball world for many years.

"I was rather abrupt and didn't say hello to you in advance. I should be the one to say sorry! I got your mobile phone number from Dayao!" Gong Luming was very polite and graceful, thanking him

One of the mysteries in his heart has disappeared, but what is the other party's purpose? This is what he wants to know most.

"It's okay, Director Gong, do you have any business with me?" Xie Kai asked. He knew that in China, people rarely get straight to the point when talking about business. They usually greet each other politely before talking about business. In the United States, it is more direct. He

I feel that I have exchanged pleasantries with Director Gong enough. The two of them are not familiar with each other. If we continue to exchange pleasantries, it will appear awkward and it will be easy for them to become cold-hearted.

"Xiao 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 in asking this, but he felt that the other party's question made him more and more believe that the other party's purpose was to invite him to join the Chinese men's basketball team.

Xie Kai is also aware of the current situation of the Chinese men's basketball team. Yao Ming is still recovering from his injury, and the team is now facing a transition from old to new. In last year's Tianjin Men's Basketball Asian Championship, they lost to the Iranian team by a huge score in the final.

This team needs young blood and capable players. Xie Kai feels that it is reasonable for him to be favored by the national team as he has already established himself in the NBA!

"The Chinese men's basketball team is very good. There are NBA players such as Yao Yao and Arab League, as well as 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, will you join?" Gong Luming's voice was calm.

Xie Kai was silent for a moment, and then said: "I do!"

Gong Luming didn't feel that Xie Kai was reluctant or out of face for not blurting out his agreement to Xie Kai. Instead, he felt that the other party was sincere.

"I very much hope that you can become a member of the Chinese men's basketball team. We have all seen your performance in the NBA. You are very talented and powerful. If you can join, the strength of 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 or decline. He seemed very sincere.

"Xiao Xie, I am very touched that you study and live in the United States and are willing to join the men's basketball team and win glory for the country. Coach Deng Huade and I will go to the United States in a few days. Let's meet and talk in detail then!" Gong Luming said

.

"Director Gong is so kind. It is an honor for me to have the opportunity to serve our country! Welcome to the United States!" Xie Kai said.

After finishing the call with Gong Luming, Xie couldn't calm down for a long time. In his opinion, the invitation from the country may be a matter of time. The talent of the Chinese men's basketball team is not rich enough to let him, who can contribute 20.00 points per game in the NBA, be left alone.

+5+5 players. There are so many countries in the world, except the American men's basketball team, who can have so many talented basketball players?

Unexpectedly, he would return to China one day because he wanted to join the Chinese men's basketball team! Xie Xin laughed secretly. 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 parties agreed to meet in Los Angeles.

At Xie Kai's aunt Xie Meiya's Chinese restaurant, Xie Kai met Gong Luming and the current coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, Deng Huade.

Deng Huade is chubby and looks very interesting. He is very excited that the team he coaches can introduce young people like Xie Kai who are playing in the NBA.

Gong Luming himself was not very good-looking. Although Xie Kai had never met him in person, he had seen him on TV many times, so he felt 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 is, the next important game of the men's basketball team is the men's basketball team.
