Basketball K God

Chapter 390 Must Win the Championship
It was only when Xie Kai played warm-up matches in China that he realized how popular he is in China.If he is considered a very popular young player in the NBA, then in China, he is equivalent to the popularity of Kobe James in the United States.

Since Yao Ming retired, Xie Kai is almost the biggest spiritual sustenance for Chinese fans to watch the NBA.He is the only Chinese player playing in the playoffs, and his handsome appearance and the position he plays are also the reasons why fans are crazy about it.

Every time he plays a warm-up match in China, a large number of his fans go to watch the game.Many of these fans were wearing knockoffs of his No. 22 with the Kings or No. 23 with the Grizzlies.

Yao Ming has been the leader of the Chinese men's basketball team for so many years. After he retired, domestic fans have been looking for a successor.And Xie Kai is the best candidate for this position of successor no matter in terms of strength or potential.

After arriving in Wuhan, no matter where Xie Kai went, there would be players looking for his autograph from time to time.Since playing in the playoffs, the number of his fans has grown exponentially, and he is already a household name in China.

In fact, Chinese fans also have regrets, that is, they have not been able to see Yao Ming and Xie Kai teaming up.Everyone's original expectation was that the two of them would join forces in the London Olympics to help the men's basketball team create a new best result in history.It's a pity that Yao Ming retired prematurely due to injuries.

The ideal Chinese men's basketball team can form the best team in history.The starters are Yao Ming, Yi Jianlian, Zhu Fangyu, Xie Kai and Sun Yue. 4 NBA players plus 1 CBAMVP.The substitute lineup is Wang Zhizhi, Zhou Peng, Wang Shipeng and 9 Liu Wei. There are 9 players in rotation, 5 of whom have NBA resumes. They are all experienced players with strong combat effectiveness.

It is a pity that China Mobile Great Wall Yao Ming did not welcome Xie Kai, the strongest outside player in domestic history so far. This has to be said to be a great regret.

On September 9, Xie Kai, who was preparing for the Asian Championships in Wuhan, received a call from the United States.Kobe is on the other end of the phone!Bryant invited him to a mini-camp next week in Los Angeles.

Xie Kai could only politely decline, although it was a pity, but he could not delay the fight for national honor for his own training.There are plenty of opportunities after training, but missing the Olympics may be a lifelong regret for many people.

On September 9, the Wuhan Men's Basketball World Championships officially kicked off.The first match is the group stage, and the first match of the Chinese men's basketball team is the Bahrain men's basketball team.

The schedule of the Asian Championships is arranged by the host Chinese Basketball Association, so they put the Chinese team's game in the prime time of the evening.

The Asian Championships Stadium in Wuhan was already crowded with people.If there were scattered people watching other games during the day, then the attendance rate of this game must be the highest today.

At around 7:30 in the evening, the stadium was almost full of fans who came to watch the game.

When the players from both sides came to the court to practice, the screams of the fans had pierced the arena, which was very shocking.

Before the game started, Xie Kai felt the deep love of the fans.This kind of care is different from when he played home games in the NBA.This kind of love includes national pride and national honor.

Thank you, I also have a lot of feelings in my heart.This is not the first time he has played in an international competition on behalf of the national team, but it is indeed the first time to play at home.

"We must win the championship!" Xie Kai silently made up his mind.

"Thank you", "Thank you", "Thank you"... The fans in the stands shouted in unison, which naturally reached Xie Kai's ears.

Xie Kai, who was practicing, waved to the fans to express his honor.

"Thank you, it seems that you will be our most popular player in the future!" Da Zhi joked with a smile.

"Where, I'm considered a newcomer to the national team, and the fans welcome me!" Xie Kai was very modest, but there was no trace of hypocrisy.

"You don't have to be humble. After Dayao retires, you will be our leader. I look forward to seeing you lead the Chinese men's basketball team to go further in the Olympics!" Da Zhi said very carefully, like a veteran Express your wishes with the new leader.

Xie Kai was also touched by Dazhi's words. As the No.1 player who went to the NBA that year, Dazhi's career was really bumpy.Without him to explore the way, it is estimated that later Chinese players would not be so easily accepted to go to the NBA.

"Da Zhi, let us fight together!" Xie Kai stretched out his hand!

Da Zhi also quickly reached out his hand, and the two held hands tightly, feeling each other's desire for victory.

The strength of the Bahrain men's basketball team is unsurpassed in Asia.This has a gap with their football strength.We must know that the Bahrain football team still has the strength to fight against the Chinese men's football team.But the basketball team, that's not the case.

The starting lineup of the Chinese men's basketball team is: center - Wang Zhizhi, power forward - Yi Jianlian, small forward - Zhu Fangyu, shooting guard - Xie Kai, point guard - Sun Yue.

This lineup consists of 4 players with NBA experience + CBAMVP. Such a lineup, at least on paper, makes opponents terrified.

Thanks to the presence of Xie Kai and Yi Jianlian, two active NBA players, this Chinese men's basketball team still has the highest fault tolerance rate among all participating teams in this Asian Championship even if there is a wave of injuries.

You must know that this team was able to play back and forth in the World Championships and the American Dream Team last year. It would be a bit surprising if they could not dominate a continent with a low level of basketball like Asia.

In this game, Xie Kai only played for 16 minutes, and ended his appearance in this game.The Chinese men's basketball team started with five players, and none of them played more than 5 minutes.

In this game, the Chinese men's basketball team beat the Bahrain men's basketball team 120:49, ushering in the first victory of this Asian Championship.

Before the game, it was predicted that there would be no suspense. The players of the Bahrain men's basketball team were not well-known, and almost no one in the starting five could name them.

Moreover, their strength on the court is as good as their reputation, and they are indeed not good. The Chinese men's basketball team's substitute lineup pressed them to the ground, and they did not have the slightest ability to resist.

After the game, men's basketball coach Deng Huade hoped that the players would not relax because of the big victory in this game, and the tough battle is yet to come!
Deng Huade is really proud recently, although the warm-up match made him lose two generals, Zhou Peng and Wang Shipeng, but he has Xie Kai and Yi Jianlian in his hands!
With these two people, at least within Asia, there is no problem walking sideways.

Deng Huade still knows the ball very well.

The schedule of the group stage is still very tight.The second game of the Chinese men's basketball team will face the Philippine men's basketball team on September 2.
