Chapter 380 China's Men's Basketball Team's Only Chance!
Although they couldn't understand what Wang Xiucheng was saying, at that moment, everyone in the audience, whether fans or NBA players, stood up and applauded.
At this moment, countless veteran fans in China who were watching this slam dunk contest were already in tears!
Wang Xiucheng, an undrafted player, not only managed to stay in the NBA.
He also kept the other three Chinese teenagers in the NBA.
Everyone knows that if it weren't for Wang Xiucheng, none of the other three Chinese teenagers would have been wanted by any team.
Why did Wang Xiucheng sacrifice so much?
Everyone knows that Wang Xiucheng is aiming for the national team.
Just a few days ago, several reporters and commentators, including Yang Yisu, reported that Kyle Anderson, accompanied by Yao Ming, had completed his naturalization process and officially settled in Shanghai.
Even Kyle Anderson's ID card was leaked.
His name is Li Kai'er.
In a news report about the business world, Li Kaier gave a brief interview after receiving his ID card.
"Why did I join China? Because Chinese blood flows in my veins."
"My mother really wants to see me wear the Chinese national team uniform."
"This is an extremely honorable thing for me, for my mother, and for my family."
“Wang Xiucheng? Of course, he knows about this.”
“In fact, I did ask for his opinion.”
"He said he needed me."
Does he need me?
Under what circumstances would Wang Xiucheng need Li Kaier?
Every fan knows it's the national team!
Wang Xiucheng not only keeps Chinese youths in the NBA, but also recruits players within the NBA.
"Perhaps this time really is different!"
Many fans have expressed similar sentiments.
The Chinese men's basketball team has already missed one Olympic Games.
If the Chinese men's basketball team fails to qualify directly for this year's World Cup, they will miss two consecutive World Cups, an unprecedented event.
The only chance for the Chinese men's basketball team is this year's World Cup.
If the Chinese men's basketball team achieves the best result among Asian teams in the World Cup, they will directly qualify for next year's Olympics.
If we can't be the best in Asia, then we'll have to participate in next year's qualifying tournament.
No one believes that the Chinese men's basketball team will be able to break through in next year's Olympic qualifying tournament.
If they are unable to participate in the Olympics again.
Therefore, no individual or organization can bear the blame for this.
But the harsh reality is that the Chinese men's basketball team's roster is almost exactly the same as it was four years ago.
It's even worse than it was four years ago.
For example, Yi Jianlian is already in a semi-retired state and it is difficult for him to serve the country again.
Four years ago, the Chinese men's basketball team couldn't even qualify for the national championships on home soil, so what chance do they have now?
Four years have passed, and the Chinese men's basketball team still has the same players!
Isn't this a tragedy?
In today's world basketball scene, young players like Doncic, Jokic, and Alexander have already become pillars of their respective national teams.
But the Chinese men's basketball team still has to rely on the same group of players from four years ago.
ridiculous!
sad!
Just when everyone was disappointed, and even anticipated that the Chinese men's basketball team would once again fail to qualify for the Olympic Games.
Suddenly, everyone realized that an undrafted Chinese player had established himself in the NBA.
Then, everyone discovered that this undrafted Chinese player had become the leader of the entire league's young players in just one year!
This Chinese man even managed to win the All-Star Slam Dunk Contest twice in a row.
This completely shattered the conclusion that "Chinese people generally have poor physical fitness"!
The emergence of such a young man has once again filled fans across the country with anticipation for the Chinese men's basketball team.
……
After the interview, Wang Xiucheng returned the trophy to Wilkins so he could take it back to Brooklyn.
Too many people came over to exchange pleasantries with him, so Wang Xiucheng could only respond to them one by one.
Aside from his older sisters, Wang Xiucheng mostly just went through the motions.
"That last dunk was good." Stallone finally found an opportunity to pull Wang Xiucheng back.
“Is that good?” Wang Xiucheng asked, somewhat displeased. “It is quite good.”
“Yes, quite good.” Stallone chuckled and pulled Wang Xiucheng to the sidelines. “My three daughters, Sophia, Sistine, and Scarlett.”
Wang Xiucheng smiled and extended his hand, shaking hands with Stallone's three daughters in a very gentlemanly manner.
"Alright, you can go now." Stallone pulled Wang Xiucheng's hand out of Scarlett's.
"Go?" Wang Xiucheng asked, puzzled. "Didn't you say that if I got a perfect score, I would marry one of your daughters?"
Having known Sylvester Stallone for so long, Wang Xiucheng spoke without restraint.
Stallone's three daughters blushed slightly and looked at Wang Xiucheng and their elderly father with some embarrassment.
"When did I say that?" Stallone asked, looking puzzled.
Ha ha!
Wang Xiucheng smiled and said, "As expected of you."
"Alright, I'm leaving." Wang Xiucheng could only say one sentence before turning to go.
"Don't say I'm bullying you. Like I said, if you win the championship, you can marry one of my daughters," Stallone said.
"Thank you, old man!" Wang Xiucheng said, turning around in an annoyed tone.
Stallone chuckled.
If Wang Xiucheng were just an NBA player, Sylvester Stallone would never have married his daughter to him.
How much money does an NBA player earn?
Even if Wang Xiucheng has a huge Chinese market behind him, it is unlikely that it can compare with his assets in a short period of time.
But now Stallone has changed his mind.
Because Wang Xiucheng's net worth has reached over 30 billion!
With this much wealth, he could marry his own daughter.
What pleased Stallone was that Wang Xiucheng had never had any scandals.
His biggest worry was that he had married the wrong person and that his daughter had married the wrong man.
But Wang Xiucheng should be pretty good.
After all, Wang Xiucheng has only recently become wealthy and is still very young; he hasn't had time to go astray yet.
Stallone believed that with him in charge, Wang Xiucheng wouldn't go astray.
Of course, this is on the premise that Wang Xiucheng actually married one of his daughters.
After leaving Stallone, Wang Xiucheng went to Bruno and gave him a very complicated handshake, the kind of handshake usually used between friends.
After shaking hands, Wang Xiucheng said to Bruno, "I'm going to Saudi Arabia for a few days. I'm leaving Jenny in your care."
"Don't worry, brother," Bruno assured him.
Wang Xiucheng released Bruno and then shook hands with the four little burdens beside him.
This time there were no excessive movements; Wang Xiucheng simply shook hands.
Then, amidst the lingering gazes of Jennie and Jisoo, Wang Xiucheng left the stadium, waving to the fans who were still there.
Due to time constraints, Wang Xiucheng did not even accept interviews from CCTV Sports and Tencent Sports this time.
After getting into the car waiting outside, Wang Xiucheng, along with Ma Wei, Wu Di, and Wu Jia, went directly to the airport.
Wang Xiucheng's next stop is Saudi Arabia.
