391 Preparing for the Men's Basketball World Cup
On June 30, Beijing time, Jin Feng met for the second time with a total of five teams: Lakers, Heat, Mavericks, Spurs, and Kings.
And on the evening of the same day, that is, at 0:00 on July 1, there was a bombshell news in the transfer market, that is, China Jin joined the Sacramento Kings with a four-year top contract of 161 million.
Subsequently, the Jin team and the Kings team respectively proved the truth of this news.
In the past few days, the battle for Jin Feng, which has always attracted a lot of attention in the transfer market, finally came to an end at this moment.
Of course, for many people, Jin Feng's final joining of the Kings was something that everyone did not expect, and it is hard for people to imagine that the Los Angeles Lakers, who seemed to be a "match made in heaven" with Jin Feng, ended up missing Jin Feng.
"They [the Lakers] gave me great promises, and I'll admit, it's hard to refuse, but, from my perspective, I think Sacramento is probably the best team for me for the next four years."
The next day, Jin Feng held a press conference at the hotel, and at the beginning of the press conference, a local reporter from Los Angeles asked Jin Feng why he would reject the Lakers and join the Kings.
Faced with this question that all the reporters were more concerned about, Jin Feng also replied very calmly.
"The Sacramento Kings, one of the oldest teams in NBA history, their management is also excellent, and I'm sure we'll have a great time working together"
"So China Jin, the current Kings seem to be a mediocre team, and in the season that just ended, they didn't even make the playoffs, so, will it be a challenge for you?"
"Of course, you know that no matter what team you play for, you're going to have challenges all the time, and I love them, and at the same time, I believe the Kings are going to rise in the new season."
…………
After the press conference, Jin Feng did not immediately leave for Sacramento, but then returned to China, to be precise, to Beijing, China.
The reason is very simple, he was selected for the latest Chinese men's basketball national team, this is not the first time Jin Feng has been selected for the national team, but it is the first time he has reported on the national team, because this training camp is very important.
A month later, the first men's basketball World Cup will start in China, as the host, the Basketball Association naturally hopes that the Chinese men's basketball team can play with the strongest lineup, so as to get a good result at home.
Therefore, for Jin Feng, he must participate in this national team training camp, the World Cup event can be regarded as the top event to participate in on behalf of the national team, as a player who plays in the NBA, if he does not even participate in the national team's games, it seems unreasonable.
After coming to Beijing, Jin Feng directly appeared in the national team training ground ~ Wukesong Gymnasium, when Jin Feng appeared here alone, it attracted a lot of attention, and the men's basketball team leader Cai Wensheng also rushed over very enthusiastically and took the initiative to greet Jin Feng.
After all, today's Jin Feng is the undisputed leader of the national team and the absolute core of the national team in the next 10 years, in other words, it is absolutely necessary to have a good relationship with Jin Feng as soon as possible.
"Jin Feng, I finally looked forward to you" Cai Wensheng enthusiastically ran up and shook hands with Jin Feng, Jin Feng naturally understood the reason why Cai Wensheng was so "enthusiastic", but he was not surprised by this, after all, China, in the final analysis, is still an absolute humane society, some things, even if he is very tired of it, but he can only endure it, after all, this is the reality.
"Jin Feng, let me give you a brief introduction, the first phase of the national team's training camp still takes the red and blue teams, the red team has a total of 23 players selected for the first phase of the training camp, and the red team has a total of 22 people, as of now, counting you, a total of 45 people selected for the first phase of the training camp are all here, and in the next month, we will conduct a very closed month of training, and then select the last 12 players from the red and blue teams to participate in the World Cup."
Jin Feng is very supportive of the red and blue national teams proposed by Yao Ming, after all, this system can select the best 12 players more scientifically and reasonably.
Soon, Cai Wensheng led Jin Feng to the training ground, where Jin Feng saw some familiar faces from afar, Yi Jianlian, Guo Allen, Ding Yanyuhang, Zhou Qi and other well-known players in the domestic basketball world.
"Hi Jin Feng, you're finally here"
After all, he had played in the CBA before, so Jin Feng and many of these players also knew each other, even those new faces, who should always take the initiative to say hello to Jin Feng for Jin Feng's current reputation.
Jin Feng's personality was originally peaceful and cheerful, and he didn't have any arrogance, so he soon got along with everyone.
Du Feng, Li Nan, the current head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team red and blue, Jin Feng soon met them in the training ground, for the two head coaches, Jin Feng still respects them from the bottom of his heart, fans who know the history of Chinese men's basketball should know that these two have been well-known figures in the history of Chinese men's basketball, don't deny their ability because they have not entered the NBA, you know, before the 21st century, because of the system, many domestic players have missed the opportunity to play in the NBA, It's not that they don't have what it takes to play in the NBA.
Moreover, these two are now the head coaches of the men's basketball team, and Jin Feng, as a player, should naturally maintain due respect for the head coach.
Li Nan and Du Feng also showed great welcome to Jin Feng's arrival, after all, the two of them also knew very well that the importance of Jin Feng to this national team, to a certain extent, how far the men's basketball team can go in the World Cup at home in a month depends on Jin Feng's performance, and Jin Feng determines the ceiling of this national team to a certain extent.
Jin Feng was assigned to the red team, and in the red team, there are mainly Mesozoic and veteran players in the current stage of the Chinese men's basketball team, such as Yi Jianlian.
Time is running out, and a month later, for the Chinese men's basketball team, this is the first full appearance after the men's basketball World Championship was restructured into the men's basketball World Cup, and they are facing a lot of pressure.
That's right, it's just a lot of pressure.
Since Yao Ming retired in 2009, the golden generation of men's basketball reached the quarterfinals again in the 2010 World Championships in Turkey, and the pinnacle of the Chinese men's basketball team has been less and less since then.
Jin Feng, Ding Yanyuhang, Guo Allen, Zhou Qi, finally, thank you to the rising stars, let people see the possibility of the Chinese men's basketball team to regain its glory.........
