Xie Kai’s wedding is being prepared in full swing. His plan is to hold a wedding in his hometown and then invite many people to a wedding banquet. Of course, the gift is not collected!

On July 7, Xie Kai's wedding was held as scheduled in his hometown. The best men were: Westbrook, Arthur, Jeremy Lin, Conley, Wang Yizhou (Chef of Xie Meiya Restaurant), Brandon Rush; the bridesmaids were: Yang Yixin, Nina Russell, Wang Mengqi, Zhou Jing's cousin and three others.

At Xie Kai's wedding, the emcee invited Zhang Weiping to serve as the director. All the Chinese men's basketball team members attended, and of course all the Grizzlies were also present. In addition to these people, Xie Kai's mentor Bill Self, old teammates Chalmos, Russell Robinson and others at the University of Kansas. Of course, his former NBA friend Dorsey and others were also invited to attend.

This is almost a big party for BA players!

On the morning of the 7th, Xie Kai wore a black suit and a red bow. He took a bus to Zhou Jing's house to pick up his bride with his best men.

Although the two companies are different provinces, they only take two hours to drive to the expressway.

Xie Kai's best man group is quite famous. Except for Wang Yizhou, who is a chef, the other five are NBA players, and Westbrook and Jeremy Lin are already famous NBA players.

That night, the wedding of Xie Kai and Zhou Jing was officially held at the 5-star hotel of veteran Xie Kai. Amid the applause of everyone, a couple completed the ceremony. Zhou’s father handed his daughter’s hand to his son-in-law and completed the handover ceremony.

On July 7, 2013, 25-year-old Xie Kai and 24-year-old Zhou Jing officially became husband and wife!

On the wedding day, Xie Kai also joked about Westbrook when he would go to Nina. Westbrook smiled shyly: "I haven't proposed yet! I haven't figured out the specific proposal ideas yet. You guys will give me some ideas!"

Xie Kai knew that although Westbrook was usually fashionable and had a glamorous appearance, he was a very dedicated person. His love with Nina had been running for many years, and it was almost time to bear fruit.

On Xie Kai's wedding day, Xie Kai persuaded the retired general Arenas to stay and fight for another year to defend his title.

The general was persuaded by Xie Kai and decided to fight for another year, as long as the general manager of the Grizzlies signed a contract with him.

Xie Kai was very happy that the general was able to follow his advice and stay for a year. He knew that the opponent was only 31 years old. Although his condition had declined, the lean camel was bigger than a horse and more than an ordinary substitute point guard. He still had an advantage.

Xie Kai completed the marriage, fulfilled his promise, and finally got married with his first love Zhou Jing. In this way, his major events in life were completed, and he can now devote himself to his work.

Of course, parents and elders would nag a few words about when to have children, etc. Xie responded to them at the meeting with words like "We are still young, so there is no rush."

Xie Kai joined the Asian Championship training team of the Chinese Men's Basketball Team and trained with those old friends.

Xie Kai's joining gave coach Deng Huade and other Chinese men's basketball players great confidence and support. They believed that they could defend the title successfully and would not give their opponents any chance.

Xie Kai also brought his own training team during this trip, sharing some of the NBA's training and diet knowledge and skills with his teammates of the national team.

Everyone trains together and makes progress together, time passes quickly...

During this period, the NBA's free agent market was also changing, and all teams were strengthening their lineup through trading and Taobao.

On July 10, the Dallas Mavericks and free agent Wayne Ellington reached a signing agreement. On July 27, the two sides officially signed the contract, with a two-year contract worth $5.42 million.

Ellington finally chose to sign with another team. For him, the championship was also won. It may be better to stay with the Grizzlies than to have more opportunities than to go to another team. He still hopes to get a good chance of performance and then get a big contract.

The Grizzlies officially blessed Ellington and everyone got together.

A day later, the Grizzlies completed a signing, and General Arenas stayed with the Grizzlies with a minimum salary of one year!

After the signing was officially announced, Xie Kai immediately tweeted to congratulate him. The Grizzlies actually intend to keep Arenas. They have no salary space to find a good substitute point guard in the free market, and they don’t have any good chips to trade to get one. Although the general is no longer as brave as he used to be, he is a member of the team’s championship team last season, and it’s not a problem to get in, and it’s cheap.

The signing of the Grizzlies is still going on. Although they have no salary space and cannot attract big fish, those veterans and players with good combat capabilities are interested in joining them. Memphis is not a big city, but it cannot withstand the halo of championship here!

Xie Kai is only 25 years old, and the Black Bear is still not old. This team is a candidate for the championship for at least three years. If nothing unexpected happens, the championship is still quite attractive, especially for some veterans.

On July 23, Beijing time, the Grizzlies officially announced that they had completed the transaction with the Mavericks. They will obtain the signing rights of 2013 European Cup MVP Nick Karasis. As a bargaining chip, they exchanged their 2016 second round draft picks.

Karasis is 24 years old and a defender. He was the No. 45 pick in the second round of 2009. However, he has been playing overseas for the past four years and is now famous. Insiders revealed that the Mavericks have been seeking trade with many teams before, but the Grizzlies have given their sincere offer.

The Grizzlies hope to pull the pass number one point guard into the team, and look forward to him continuing his outstanding performance in the European League last season and increasing the team's bench depth.

In this way, the Grizzlies have already three organizational guards, and the reinforcement of this position has been completely completed.

On July 26, the Grizzlies and scored 41st pick in this summer draft, Jamal Franklin signed the contract for three years, 2.29 million in three years, expired in the summer of 2016 (not guaranteed in the 15-16 season).

The outside world speculates that the Grizzlies signed Franklin to make up for Ellington's second-set plan to transfer to his team. Compared to Ellington, Franklin is obviously much cheaper. If the team does not have enough playing time, signing Franklin will pay a lot less luxury tax than signing Ellington.
