Chapter 135 Lost in the east, harvested mulberry
Xie Kai's uncompromising tone made it difficult for Zhou Jing to refute.Of course she will not really throw it away, nor will she give it away to anyone. This is a gift from her beloved, and it is a heart.
"Xie Xiaokai, you can't give me such an expensive gift in the future, you won't get paid for nothing, otherwise I won't accept it, do you understand?" Zhou Jing asked.
"I know, I know!" Xie Kai repeatedly nodded in agreement.
Zhou Jing is actually very happy in her heart, this is a gift from Xie Kai to herself, and it is only given to herself, it is unique to her.
"Jing Jing, did you know that I signed two endorsements from China!" Xie Kai said with a smile.
"Really? Which two are they? Do I know?" Zhou Jing is also very happy. Xie Kai is more successful, of course she is very happy to see it.
Xie Kai replied with a smile: "You must know that one is Haier and the other is White Cat!"
"Haier, I know, is the white cat the dishwashing liquid?" Zhou Jing asked in surprise.
Xie Kai nodded, and patted Zhou Jing's little head: "It looks like a little expert in housework!"
Zhou Jing stomped her feet and said unconvinced: "I want to be a queen, not a nanny!"
"Okay, okay, I'll be your queen, I'll find a few nannies to serve you together!" Xie Kai patted his chest and promised.
"That's about the same!" Zhou Jing held her head high, with a proud expression on her face.
Xie Kai is very happy, being with Zhou Jing is comfortable, teasing her occasionally, life is a lot of fun.He had already decided in his heart that he must marry this little girl into his family and stay with her for the rest of his life.
Xie Kai spent a few days at the University of Kansas, and then devoted himself to a new round of personal training.He didn't want to let himself stop improving. There was still more than half a month before the new season's media day and team training camp. If he kept getting lost in the wind and snow, the effect of the previous training was likely to be halved.
In this stage of training, Xie Kai focused on finishing exercises near the frame, including small hooks, projectiles, and various layups.As an outside player, good finishing skills and touch at the basket can enrich his offensive arsenal and have more 2+1 opportunities.
Xie Kai's near-the-rim offense has always been very good. The reason why he felt more like a shooter before was because his physical resistance was not good enough, and it was difficult to penetrate into the basket to attack.Now that physical confrontation is coming up, it is natural to increase the attack near the basket.
Xie Kai went to training, Zhou Jing knew all this, and she also knew that she should not bother him.It is quite rare for a young man with self-motivation like him, and I should support him.
Xie Kai is training, and here is another good news from the Kings in the free market: On September 9, according to the "Sacramento Bee" report, the Kings have reached an agreement with former slam dunk king Desmond Mason. A one-year non-guaranteed contract with a contract value of US$18 million, which is the league's basic salary contract.
Xie Kai's impression of Mason is that he is the first slam dunk champion after Carter.
Before signing Mason, the Kings had only 13 players in their roster, and in order to add athleticism and talent to the team, the team management decided to sign the former slam dunk king.Of course, the price they pay is also very small, which is a non-guaranteed league basic salary, so if Mason remains in the team on January 1 next year, then he will receive a full salary.
With a height of 1 meters, Mason is a swingman with outstanding physical condition and is good at breaking through dunks.Because of the Rockets, most fans are impressed with this player.
Xie Kai also remembers that during the game between the Rockets and the Hornets in November 2005, Mason made a bad back throw on Yao Ming, which aroused unanimous condemnation from Chinese fans.Then in a game in 11, he first fouled McGrady fiercely, causing McGrady's wrist injury, and then spat trash talk with Alston. In the end, the two were sent off together and were regarded as public enemies of the Rockets.
As a veteran who has been in the league for 9 years, Mason averaged 12.2 points per game in his career.He played for the Thunder last season, but missed most of the games due to a knee injury, which led to no one in the free market.
Xie Kai knew that when the Kings signed Mason, they did not expect him to help the team rise, but hoped to sign a veteran to fill the 15-man roster at a very small cost.It would be great if Mason could play the role of his old players and use the old to lead the new.If it can't, or if something happens, the team can also lay off him without any salary burden.
The Kings left McCants and other players in the summer, and added basic-salary veterans like Sean May and Desmond Mason who were almost out of ball to play. The strength of the lineup did not seem to have any qualitative improvement compared to last season.If they want to make a difference in the new season, the two second-year rookies and four rookies who are young potential stocks need to realize their talents.
Xie Kai knows that the staffing and operation of the team are beyond his control.What I can do is to improve myself, try to establish my position in the team, and speak with my strength.
This offseason, he basically watched all the game videos of last season, and also watched a lot of previous game videos.One advantage of watching videos is that you can study the game from a macro perspective, not only from the perspective of players, but also from the perspective of fans or coaches.
As the training camps of NBA teams are about to kick off, the offseason recruitment is also drawing to a close.In the latest odds of winning the championship, the defending champion Los Angeles Lakers are still at the top of the list.As usual, the Kings rank among the bottom five in the league in terms of combat power.
The record of the Kings last season was the bottom one in the league. It is a shame that they are not listed as the bottom one in this ranking.
After the poor record in the rookie season, Xie Kai has now figured out a lot.Indeed, it would be difficult for a player as competitive as he to face frequent failures on a rebuilding team.But sometimes, what cannot be ignored is the strength of the team itself. Without strength, losing is a high probability.
September 9, NBA Media Day. NBA Media Day is generally scheduled on the last Monday in September.
The Kings have a star-studded roster, and apart from Kevin Martin, this team has no near-All-Star players.At least that's how it looked last season.
But this team is still looking forward to in the new season. What is looking forward to is not their record, but the young people in their team, especially Xie Kai and this year's No. 4 pick Tyreke Evans.
Last year's No. 12 pick, Jason Thompson, after a season of training, the Kings found that his potential was not as great as expected, and he was more likely to develop in the direction of blue-collar in the future.Xie Kai, who was not optimistic before, entered the rookie team at the end of the season, and his potential is even greater.
——It can also be regarded as another form of "lost in the east, harvested in mulberry"!
