This year's Men's Basketball World Championships, the Chinese men's basketball team used their own methods to make the world basketball world remember them. They completed their own pre-match plan. Although they did not win medals, they were good enough.

On the morning of September 9, the Chinese men's basketball team took a plane in Ankara, the capital of Turkey, to BJ.Everyone is in a good mood. This year's competition can be regarded as a successful completion of the task assigned by the superior, and also broke the record of more than 14 years, which can be regarded as a harvest.

In the afternoon, at BJ's airport, the leaders of the Basketball Association came to pick him up.In addition, there are also a large number of fans holding national flags, flowers, and large posters of Xie Kai and other stars who came to pick them up.

For a while, the exit of the airport became crowded. Everyone was shouting "China is rising" and "China's men's basketball team is the best", which made the scene extremely lively.

All the men's basketball players were very moved. They didn't know that the fans would be so enthusiastic.It stands to reason that although they broke the record, they did not win any medals and ranked only 7th.

But the fans don't think so. The Chinese men's basketball team brought them quite a lot of surprises in this competition.They were moved by the tenacity and fighting spirit shown by the men's basketball team.

Sometimes medals aren't the only thing to chase and sportsmanship isn't just about getting medals.In the eyes of fans, this Chinese men's basketball team is worthy of their pursuit and respect.

The scene at that time made Xie Kai, who had seen the big scene, shed tears unavoidably. He felt the happiness of being a descendant of Chinese people and a Chinese men's basketball player.He decided that if there is another chance to play for the country in the future, he will definitely go all out without reservation to repay the support of his fellow fans.

Two days later, after the members of the Chinese men's basketball team participated in the summary meeting led by the Basketball Association, they announced their dissolution.Because of preparing for the Guangzhou Asian Games in November, the team has not been completely disbanded, but it is only temporarily disbanded, but it still needs to be assembled.

Xie Kai, Yi Jianlian and others will not participate in the Asian Games, so they will not be included in the list for future gatherings.

And Xie Kai's first trip to the national team has come to an end for the time being, and he will return to the United States to prepare for the new season.

Zhou Jing had already returned to the United States at the end of August. She had something to do at school and couldn't wait for Xie Kai to come back and go with her.The two have been in touch on social media for a long time.With the Internet, even if you are not in the same country, there seems to be no sense of distance at all. It has really realized "confidantes in the sea and neighbors in the world".

Xie Kai did not stay in the country, and returned to the United States immediately.He still has a lot of things to do in the United States. He was delayed because he wanted to participate in the Men's Basketball World Championships.

Xie Kai first returned to his home in Los Angeles, had a brief meeting with his parents, and then immediately flew to Memphis.

Memphis is the largest city in Tennessee, the second largest city in the southeastern United States after Jacksonville, Florida, and the 17th largest city in the country.Its external airport, Memphis International Airport, is the second largest cargo airport in the world, second only to Hong Kong International Airport.

This is not the first time for Xie Kai to come here, but I still have some feelings in my heart when I think that I may live here for several years in the future.

Memphis's secular architecture is rich in Neoclassical or Romantic styles.There are many religious buildings in the ancient city, including Graca Church, Juan Battista Church, Do Carmo Church, Neves Church, San Bento Church and so on.

Xie Kai is not a person with religious beliefs, so he has no likes or dislikes for churches or that kind of secular buildings.

Xie Kai met the team's general manager Chris Wallace at the Memphis Grizzlies headquarters.

Chris Wallace has the shrewdness of a professional manager. He smiled and shook hands with Xie Kai, expressing his joy and luck for getting Xie Kai.

Xie Kai already knows that the Grizzlies have announced the implementation of the team option in their rookie contract not long ago.So far, if he is not traded before the trade deadline, he will definitely play for the Grizzlies next season.

Since it is here, it will be safe, Xie Kai did not dislike the fact that Memphis is not as big as New York or Los Angeles.Besides, where he is traded is not in his control.

Xie Kai knew that the original home of the Grizzlies was not in Memphis.This new team, which joined the NBA in 1995, was formerly known as the Vancouver Grizzlies, and its home court was in Vancouver, Canada.In 2001, the Grizzlies moved back to Memphis, USA, before changing their name to the Memphis Grizzlies.

There is another interesting fact about the Grizzlies whose home court was still in Vancouver: Steve Francis (the boss) was selected by the then Vancouver Grizzlies in the 1999 draft, but he excused that it was cold there and he didn’t want to go, so he went to the Grizzlies. Traded to the Rockets by the team.

Not only was the Grizzlies not popular with those rookies at the time, but so was the Raptors, who joined the NBA in the same year as them.Those talented rookies and big-name free agents were reluctant to play for the cold and exotic Canadian team, which made those two teams very difficult in those few seasons.

Xie Kai thinks that the current Grizzlies team is very capable, with excellent players both inside and outside. As long as there are no major injuries, they are very likely to enter the playoffs next season.
