Chapter 125: Li Kaier, the first step in the men's basketball team's enhancement, naturalization!

It seems that the Knicks' outside defense is still okay now, youth is power, Harden is obviously smoother and faster than Kobe Bryant when he jumps on the spot, coupled with Beverley and Danny Green's lock defense, Kobe Bryant's mouth is not to say, and his body is still very uncomfortable.

The main thing is that he is not fully prepared, as long as he comes to this arena in his career, it is very easy, whether it is the old cannon Alan Houston or the previous Marbury and others...... Maybe it's because he's getting older, and he feels that the outside defense he encountered today is the most intense.

James Harden had 17 points, 6 assists and 2 rebounds, and he was also locked up by Kobe Bryant for several rounds, but he also had a famous scene, that is, he hit Kobe Bryant with his back and made a shot from his back.

Kobe Bryant's way!

The two of them are like looking in the mirror and the rhythm of the play is similar, but the young Harden plays more "jumping" together and looks more energetic, while Kobe Bryant belongs to the kind where experience and rhythm have been perfected, the ball may not score, but handsome is a lifelong thing.

Watching Kobe Bryant play is like this, he may be the Iron King, but his movements will definitely not be deformed due to tension and exhaustion, stretching and handsomeness is the first place.

But neither of them is the protagonist tonight, Odom is the protagonist on the Lakers' side, with 13 points, 11 assists and 9 rebounds, an economic quasi-triple-double, a typical East is not bright and the West is bright, and this forward who can handle the ball is really fragrant when Kobe Bryant is taken care of.

Then the Knicks are still the most stable Oku, shooting 5 of 7 three-pointers, and getting 23 points, 7 rebounds and 2 blocks to cause the Knicks to not be pulled up, Yi Jian has 9 points and 6 rebounds, and the Knicks' rebounds basically rely on these two, and because Gasol and Bynum can't prevent it, they still have a lot of opportunities, but they are not all accurate.

But this has nothing to do with Jiang Chao and Max, if you lose, you lose, you can't beat it in the regular season, so even if you go to the end of the East, you will be 100% blood-abused, this is Kobe!

You can't defend Kobe Bryant every game like today, how can you encounter how he can shoot and have a state when he turns on the zone.

All you can do is score more points than them and build up the attacking dynamism.

Another guard holding the ball, another forward who can break through in a low position, or a center who can play his back, this is Jiang Chao's star-studded final touch!

Jiang Chao was already thinking about it when the team's record was not good before, but now that the record is okay, he wants to make changes even more.

It's too painful to face the Lakers being suppressed all over the court now, since they are sixth in the East, so change it?

What if it succeeds?

Promised the New York fans and the beauties to let the Knicks walk the last one to act.

But what's more uncomfortable is that the Knicks roster is full, with Eddie Curry and Tim Thomas joining the rotation, the Knicks are full of 15, with Matthews being a two-way contract player.

"So we can't sign up for a free market?"

"Yes, and you can't even look at the rest of the players in the free market, and you don't even want Marbury's veteran base salary to vote."

"Haha, yes, is it okay to trade?"

"It's okay to trade."

If the squad is full, it can only be traded, for example, they have discussed Eddie Curry, Larry Hughes, and Tim Thomas are already players on the shelf, and it would be great if they could swap players who are useful to each other with other teams.

As a result, Shaun Marks and D'Antoni found that these plug-and-play players were either on high-quality contracts that they couldn't match, or they were not for sale in the team's steady rotation.

And if you want to change it for a non-sale, you can have to bleed.

So the trade method is also abandoned, which is why Sean Marks sent scouts to contact Howard tonight to watch the game together, and can only wait for this offseason to catch a big fish.

In addition, the group of people on the Knicks shelf is no longer as sought-after as the gang at the beginning of the season, and the data is average when there are not many opportunities given, and those who exceed expectations are all rookies, rookies will not trade, and the veteran data will be touched by any problems with age and injury, and the other party wants the peak power of Nate and Harrington, not the peak tail of Eddie Curry.

So it's embarrassing, the Knicks have very little room to operate in the middle of the season.

The beginning of the season was too inflated, and so many useful role players did not compete with the Knicks in the free market, such as the two Odom and Bynum of the Lakers now, who are good players who can rub on the inside.

Another example is the Toronto Raptors' big man Jermaine O'Neal and Oklahoma City forward Wilcox, which are all very good players.

Of course, the biggest reason at that time was that Jiang Chao really had no money, and nothing else was found, so he would have gone bankrupt long ago.

So Jiang Chao said Max, you look at it first, it's okay all over the world, even if you want Rabatel and Haddadi to try out, I support it, and the requirement is to play inside strikers or inside players, and they must be supplemented.

"It's better to be the kind of player who doesn't shoot, so that there is one less person on the outside line on the opposite side to defend the perimeter."

"Veterans, upcoming rookies are fine, we can't catch up this season, and we can do it next season."

This sentence of not shooting reminded Sean Marks, and Sean Marks clapped his palms:

"Hey, boss, have you forgotten, when you were in Los Angeles to inspect the game, when you went to UCLA, there was a prospective freshman who had just come to the university to play, I inspected him, he seems to be quite capable of playing inside, with excellent height and vision, you seem to know him, and you said hello to him?"

"Are you talking about Kyle??? Human peristalgic essence, really doesn't shoot much, you can call him a wave and contact him to participate in the draft in advance this year! ”

Jiang Chao slapped his palms, Wang Dazhui, I didn't expect Sean Marks to take the initiative to mention this player, it must be interested.

Because Jiang Chao is not only expecting him in the NBA, maybe the naturalization of the Chinese men's basketball team will also start from his side.

For this 18-year-old high school graduate who looks very Chinese and has one-eighth Chinese ancestry, Jiang Chao knows too well in later generations.

This is a real rhythm monster, the super forward chosen by the Spurs!

Moreover, in later generations, he returned to China earlier than Jeremy Lin to worship his ancestors, and wrote his name on his ancestral home with Li Kaier's name.

Why did Sean Marks notice him, it was also because Jiang Chao mentioned him at the time, and Jiang Chao mentioned the basketball star, then he had to investigate it himself.

After some investigation, I found that it was still wide??

Kyle Anderson, born on September 20, 1993 in New Jersey, USA, is 2.06 meters tall, has an arm span of 2.20 meters, weighs 104 kilograms, and plays as a small forward on the court.

Anderson is a rare all-around forward with the physicality and athleticism to fight both inside and shoot from the outside, allowing him to score from almost anywhere on the court.

Anderson has one-eighth Chinese ancestry, his maternal great-grandfather Li Chongxin is a pure Chinese, Li Chongxin went to Jamaica to make a living during World War II, so he met Anderson's maternal great-grandmother Aijita, and the two married and gave birth to a daughter named Marianne, who is Anderson's maternal grandmother.

Anderson's mother, Susanna, grew up in the United States and gave birth to Anderson in New Jersey after marriage.

Influenced by his father, who coached an AAU amateur sports league team, Anderson joined his first basketball camp at the age of three, and has since fallen in love with playing basketball.

A high school graduate of St. Anthony's High School in New Jersey, Anderson led the team to back-to-back New Jersey championships and was named the state Player of the Year in his final year of high school.

He then joined the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) in 2011 to represent UCLA in college basketball.

In the same year, the 19-year-old Anderson went to China with the UCLA men's basketball team to play 3 matches, and successively defeated Qinghua University, Modu Jiaotong University and Modu men's basketball team.

Among them, against the Magic City men's basketball team, Anderson scored a team-high 21 points and 11 rebounds.

And now the high school graduate was actually drafted in 2014, the Spurs' championship season.

At that time, the Spurs were in full swing, getting the 30th pick in the first round, and Anderson was selected by the San Antonio Spurs with the 30th pick in the first round of the NBA Draft, and the two sides signed a four-year contract worth $5.58 million.

Many people don't understand the Spurs' choice, because Kyle Anderson is very average in dynamics, slower than the center and shorter than the center to jump, and has no absolute height, just a player who plays purely by rhythm.

But it turns out that Spurs can't be wrong.

In 2014-15, Anderson played in 33 regular-season games for the Spurs, averaging 2.2 points and 2.2 rebounds in 10.8 minutes per game.

In the summer of 2015, Anderson represented the Spurs in the Summer League, playing in nine games, averaging 19.3 points, 5.8 rebounds and 1.3 assists per game, helping the Spurs reach the Las Vegas Summer League finals, and he was also awarded the MVP of the 2015 Las Vegas Summer League.

For the next two seasons, Anderson still didn't get used heavily with the Spurs.

It wasn't until the 2017-18 season that Anderson became the team's main small forward, playing in 74 regular season games for the Spurs, averaging 7.9 points, 5.4 rebounds, 2.7 assists and 1.6 steals in 26.7 minutes per game, shooting 52.7 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from three-point range.

Of course, the mediocre stats have something to do with the Spurs' team basketball, and then Kyle Anderson's stats exploded after he got out to get a big contract.

On July 10, 2018, Anderson joined the Memphis Grizzlies on a four-year, $37.2 million contract with an annual salary of $9.3 million.

For three seasons with the Grizzlies, Anderson has been an absolute mainstay of the team.

Before Jiang Chao crossed over, Anderson ushered in the peak of his career, playing in 69 NBA regular season games, all starters, averaging 27.3 minutes per game, scoring 12.4 points, 5.7 rebounds, 3.6 assists and 1.2 steals, shooting 36% from three-point range, making 1.4 three-pointers per game, and setting career highs in points and assists.

In early August 2018, Anderson accompanied his mother, Susanna, to Shenzhen, China, where Anderson's maternal great-grandfather, Li Chongxin, stayed to meet his ancestors.

Suzanne was very excited to return to her hometown, and she heard a lot about her grandfather in the conversation with the old man, and she couldn't help but shed tears, and from time to time she wiped her tears with a tissue.

At that time, Anderson's cousin Li Tianping also gave Anderson two Chinese names, called "Li Kaier", and officially wrote them into the Li family tree, and the custom here in Shenzhen is that the descendants of Guangzong Yaozu can enter the ancestral home, Kyle Anderson's achievement, naturally can enter the ancestral home.

Anderson's mother and son's return trip to their hometown was warmly welcomed by the family, and Anderson was also very cordial to his hometown, and he also brought a photo of his maternal great-grandfather Li Chongxin back to his hometown, which can be regarded as a return to his roots.

So Jiang Chao has always felt that he is more "patriotic" than Jeremy Lin, because Shuhao wants to attract money, he didn't do anything related to interests, he simply did the thing of recognizing his ancestors and returning to his ancestors, and left in a low-key manner like a spur.

Indeed, Anderson has a strong sense of belonging to China and is willing to play for the Chinese men's basketball team.

At the 2019 Men's Basketball World Cup, Anderson cheered for the Chinese men's basketball team on social media platforms many times.

Anderson is an excellent forward player, good at playing positional battles, with super back play ability and long-range shooting ability, playing smart ball quotient is extremely high, and his style of play is very in line with the characteristics of the Chinese men's basketball team.

You must know that although he is not a guard, his dribbling can easily solve the Chinese men's basketball team's boss and break the full court tight 1 is not a problem at all.

Anderson is a mixed-race player, so it should be easier to naturalize and be acceptable to Chinese fans, and he was not yet 28 years old before Jiang Chao crossed over, so he can play for the Chinese men's basketball team for a long time.

If Anderson can be successfully naturalized, his ability is not inferior to the neon Hachimura, and the Chinese men's basketball team will continue to dominate the Asian basketball world!

And this year, he is only 18 years old!

If Jiang Chao plans him now, the men's basketball team will not worry about starting forwards in the next 15 years, okay!

is different from the naturalized foreign players from other countries later, this is really of Chinese ancestry, to put it mildly, Kyle Anderson will never recognize this as a Mi Chinese in the Chinese team, unlike Rochel in the South Korean team, that dark skin, a fake, is a proper foreign aid.

He is the first step of Jiang Chao's goal.

Naturalization, youth training, future.

Without naturalized players of this level to train together, how can the national team improve???

And this is also a potential stock, in the national team can also cultivate his own level, with this kind of talent to become the locomotive, the youth training is motivated, and only then does someone want to enter such a strong national team, so that the future will never stop!

"But why did this kid come into Sean's sight so early? It shouldn't be. ”

Jiang Chao remembered saying hello to him at that time, because he couldn't talk more in front of the camera, otherwise it was not good for the other teams to notice this one-eighth Chinese, and he had to be close to private.

So it's interesting, Sean Marks definitely didn't mention it again because Jiang Chao and Kyle Anderson had said hello before.

Does this mean that now 18-year-old Kyle Anderson has the strength to play in the NBA rotation?

You must know that he really entered the NBA in his junior season, and now he has a crush on him before he is a freshman? ?

Can this really make a difference for the Knicks??

The players that Jiang Chao and Sean Marks discussed before that can be strengthened are all major rotation players in the NBA!

"Leading the team to win the New Jersey state championship in a row, I can still see such a high school student."

Jiang Chao smiled on the surface, and slandered in his heart: Sure enough, the Spurs are 1-3 years earlier than other teams to observe potential players.
