Chapter 389 Wuhan Asian Championships
Xie Kai and Zhou Jing temporarily separated in BJ, Xie Kai went to report to the men's basketball team, while Zhou Jing went home by bullet train.They were accompanied by Xie Kai's personal trainer Steve Jones.
Xie Kai met the men's basketball team leader Gong Luming at the General Administration of Sports.
Xie Kai was able to report to the men's basketball team in early July, and Gong Luming was very satisfied.The Wuhan Asian Championships will start on September 7th, and there are still two full months to go from now on.Such a long preparation time is enough for Xie Kai to integrate into the current national men's basketball team.
The overall difficulty of this Asian Championship is not great. In Asia, the Chinese men's basketball team has always been the dominant player.But in the Tianjin Asian Championships in 2009, they lost to the Iranian team and missed the championship.
Ever since Yao Ming was unable to play for the national team due to injury, the dominance of the Chinese men's basketball team in Asia has not been so stable.This is why the men's basketball team desperately hopes that Xie Kai, an all-star player who plays in the NBA, can help.
With Xie Kai, the men's basketball team is still the strongest in Asia, at least on paper.
The importance of this Asian Championship is self-evident, because it is related to the tickets for the London Olympics next year.The Basketball Association has only one goal, which is to win the championship!
Only by winning the championship can you get a ticket to the Olympics.Otherwise, there will be a losing match. In that case, it will be too difficult to compete with those European and American teams.
After the end of this year's CBA League, the men's basketball team's preparation plan for the Asian Championships has already begun. On April 4, the warm-up plan was released.
The current Chinese men's basketball team has ended the East Asian Men's Basketball Championship held on June 6, and is currently training in Kunshan, Yongcheng, Beilun, Haining, Guangzhou and other cities in China.According to the warm-up plan, from June to September before the Asian Championships, the men's basketball team will usher in 10 warm-up games, with an average of 6 warm-up games per month.
Chinese men's basketball coach Deng Huade said bluntly in an interview: "The Chinese men's basketball team will usher in a great summer."
Xie Kai feels that although such a high-density warm-up match can train the team, there are also certain hidden dangers of injury.You must know that the CBA regular season only has more than 30 games in a season, which basically means that the men's basketball players have played for one year and two CBA seasons.
One day after Xie Kai registered for the men's basketball team, he went to report for the men's basketball team where he was playing a warm-up match.Few people dare to have any opinions on his incomplete preparation for the Asian Championships.One is that he was playing in the playoffs at the time, which everyone knows; two is that his strength lies there, and no one in this men's basketball team dares to say that he is better than him; the third is the most important point , He could not participate in the men's basketball team, but based on his feelings for the nation, he chose to play for the country!
Everyone knows Xie Kai's ability. In last year's World Championships, he led the men's basketball team to break the team's record in the World Championships.This year's Asian Championships, with him joining, everyone is confident to return to the top of Asia.
The result of the warm-up match is not important, and the 12-man squad has not yet been determined, so there are many players on the list.In this case, the men's basketball coaching staff headed by Deng Huade paid great attention to protecting Xie Kai, so he had very little playing time in the warm-up match.
Unlike those players who have to compete for the 12-man roster, Xie Kai doesn't need to do this. His position is very stable.
For a basketball fanatic like Xie Kai, being able to train every day is really a very happy thing.He does daily strength and back work with the help of a personal trainer.He will also conduct technical discussions with Wang Zhizhi and other men's basketball players, and share with everyone the training methods he learned from the United States.
He hopes that one day the Chinese men's basketball team will not only stand on top of Asia, but on top of the world.Although it is not easy to accomplish such a feat, as long as you work hard, it is not impossible.
Both Xie Kai and Zhou Jing are in China, but the chances of seeing each other are even less than in the United States.
There is no way to do this, Xie Kai doesn't want to specialize, he is already in the national team, so he doesn't want to ask for leave all the time.
The two communicated through social software, and the time passed quickly.
Soon after, the Chinese men's basketball team went to Australia and Europe for training and various warm-up matches.
The disadvantages of the long-term warm-up match have also emerged. The intensive schedule and the rush of the journey, the hard-working people can't stand it, and injuries gradually began to appear among the players.
In the United States, the NBA is still suspended during this period, and there is no sign of it ending.
Xie Kai doesn't care about these anymore, he can train at home and prepare for the Asian Championships.
The time has come to the end of August in a blink of an eye, and there is only half a month left before the Wuhan Asian Championships.
After about one and a half months of training, Xie Kai's back-up technique has improved a lot, and he is now able to single-play teammates in the same position of the national team.This was unimaginable in the past.
In addition, after strength training, Xie Kai gained 1kg in weight, reaching 95kg at present.Of course, this weight is not too big, but considering that he was only 82kg when he was in college, his current muscles are still much, much bigger than then.
On September 9, the Chinese men's basketball team finished the game against Iceland in Loudi, Hunan, and finally ended all the warm-up matches before the current Asian Championships.
The 12-man roster for the Chinese Men's Basketball Team for the Asian Championships has also been finalized.The 12 people are: Wang Zhizhi, Yi Jianlian, Su Wei, Zhang Zhaoxu, Ding Jinhui, Yi Li, Zhu Fangyu, Xie Kai, Xirelijiang, Liu Wei, Sun Yue, and Yu Shulong.
Due to injuries during training, the defensive champion Zhou Peng will unfortunately miss this Asian Championship, which is not a small loss for the Chinese men's basketball team.
In addition to Zhou Peng, Wang Shipeng also missed this Men's Basketball Asian Championship due to injury.
In this big list, there is no doubt that Xie Kai, Yi Jianlian and Wang Zhizhi lead the team. Among the 12 players, 4 players have NBA experience, which is the highest proportion among all participating teams in the Asian Championships.
On September 9, the Chinese men's basketball team went to Wuhan to make final preparations for the Asian Championships.
The Chinese men's basketball team has not won the Asian Championships for a long time. 2005 was the last time they won the Asian Championships. In the 2007 Asian Championships, they did not send the main force, and finally did not even enter the top 4. In the 2009 Asian Championships, they were defeated by the Iranian team in Tianjin.Now after a lapse of 6 years, they will once again hit the title of Asian champion with a battalion of wounded soldiers.
In this Wuhan Asian Championships, as the host, the Chinese men's basketball team was divided into Group D. The three opponents in the same group were the Philippine men's basketball team, the UAE men's basketball team and the Bahrain men's basketball team.
As the host and the most powerful team on paper, the Chinese men's basketball team has only one goal, which is to win back the Asian Championships after 6 years and get tickets to the London Olympics.
