NBA: Start with 2 billion, buy the Knicks

Chapter 242: Defeat Zhu Fangyu and talk to the Palace Director

China.

Deep town.

Xinmu Village.

A bunch of people came to visit.

Anderson, mother, son, and grandmother were warmly welcomed by the family on their return trip to their hometown. Anderson was also very affectionate towards his hometown. He also brought photos of his maternal great-grandfather Li Chongxin back to his hometown, which was considered a return to his roots.

"Jiang Chao brings Kyle Anderson and his family back to their ancestors" The word "Jiang Chao" must be mentioned in the news, otherwise who would know who Kyle Anderson is...

Anderson's grandmother burst into tears. It was a really different feeling to meet the Li family.

Jiang Chao also felt the strong atmosphere of family folk customs. Sure enough, if you want to know the traditional customs, you have to look to the south.

Jiang Chao also confirmed from the elders in the village that Xinmu Village was the place where Anderson's maternal great-grandfather Li Chongxin lived. Jiang Chao secretly gave them a few hundred dollars for the genealogy fee, and begged them to add Kyle Anderson to the family tree.

Lee family tree.

The elders in the village may have doubts. After all, they don't know this young man at all, and he must have achieved something to be included in the family tree.

They hope Jiang Chao can join... It's a pity that Jiang Chao's surname is not Li. If that were the case, the Li family would feel windy walking in these villages!

But the middle-aged and young people in the village are crazy about making colors. As a joke, boss Jiang Chao brought them here!

Then you have to give some face, okay...

Moreover, ordinary tribesmen can come and pay a few hundred yuan to get in, so I agreed to a hundred.

At this time, an old man came over and said that he and Li Chongxin were comrades-in-arms. Susanna was very excited. During the conversation with the old man, she heard a lot about her grandfather's past. She couldn't help but shed tears and wiped her tears with tissues from time to time.

It was also the first time that Kyle Anderson knew that his ancestor was so powerful. Holding the photo of Li Chongxin, he also felt sad. China was really in turmoil at that time. As he knelt down and worshiped, he silently recited in his heart:

"From now on, I will make China strong!"

Jiang Chao didn't even need anyone to film this scene. The local TV station was already swarmed with news reports flying all over the place.

Originally, no one knew about Kyle Anderson, but when Jiang Chao was brought here, it was completely different. It seemed that Anderson had entered the family tree, and Jiang Chao's name was always mentioned in reports.

But Jiang Chao won't mind. He knows that the bigger the matter, the better. Just let more and more Chinese fans know that Kyle Anderson has Chinese blood.

Then you will have a greater sense of belonging while watching football.

Next is the initiation ceremony.

Anderson's cousin Li Tianping also gave Anderson two Chinese names, called "Li Kai", and officially wrote them into the Li family tree.

This will also become Kyle Anderson's name after naturalization.

"From today on, Li Kaier will be included in my Li family tree. In the future, be sure not to forget your ancestors because your ancestors are above you and you should be clear-sighted."

Jiang Chao translated for Kyle Anderson for a while, and he nodded solemnly.

Not to mention, the sense of ritual here in Guangdong and Guangxi is really interesting. Jiang Chao also watched it with gusto and felt the strong national culture.

"Congratulations."

"Boss, what are we going to do next? Do you want to sign me?" Kyle Anderson was referring to the Super God Sports signing. After all, Quanzhou is not far away, and the time to sign is now.

"I won't sign it now. I will sign it sooner or later. If you sign it now, everyone will notice you. You have to make sure you are selected by me in the second round first."

"Okay, I understand, I will announce my candidacy right now."

"Well, then I asked Liu Yan to submit your draft declaration to the league?"

"OK!"

Kyle Anderson nodded affirmatively. He has seen too many incredible things in China these days, especially Shenzhen City. This is better than most cities in the United States, right?

Moreover, China is friendly and warm to him. There are no gangsters or gangs on the streets. It is so beautiful. When he retires, he will definitely settle here.

"Then let's go, next stop, the Basketball Association."

Kyle Anderson's mother and grandmother were playing in China for a few days, while Jiang Chao took Kyle Anderson to the headquarters of the Imperial Basketball Association.

This is the highlight of returning home.

Jiang Chao's idea is to participate in the draft first, and then talk about naturalization. The process will take several months, plus joining the Chinese men's basketball national team... this time we will talk about it all at once.

Therefore, it does not affect his draft pick this year. If other teams know in advance that Kyle Anderson will join the Chinese national team, it may affect the pick a little bit.

What if some bad team specifically picks the Knicks to cut him off... Although this possibility is very small, Jiang Chao still has to be wary.

In matters like the draft, the team selected means that the team has priority to sign a contract within three years. At this time, the Knicks will have to pay more if they want it.

Now, according to Sean Marks, many people are watching the Knicks' draft trends. Anyway, the Knicks haven't tried out Kyle Anderson alone, and very little domestic news has reached the United States, so that's okay.

Because after they arrived in the imperial capital, the news that Jiang Chao brought a young man from the United States, Kyle Anderson, to China to recognize his ancestors made major social news.

The reporters indirectly provided a good cover, saying that Jiang Chao was concerned about national culture and so on, and it had nothing to do with basketball anyway.

They really don't know that Kyle Anderson plays basketball. Even if they know, they don't know how good he is.

At the same time, the United States quietly added 18-year-old Kyle Anderson to this year's draft registration list.

At this time, David Stern had not banned high school students from registering for the draft, so it was reasonable and legal for him to participate in the draft. If he were 21 years old after naturalization, and he was automatically eligible to participate in the draft at the age of 21, in theory, anyone could be selected.

Including men all over the world.

The news of Kyle Anderson's candidacy didn't even make a splash. Your coach expressed confusion. He gave you a full scholarship to go to college. Why did you suddenly go to China and participate in the draft?

But it doesn't matter, they are also in the midst of a recruiting boom, and there are many good high school players waiting for them to recruit, so they no longer care about this matter. After all, they only made an offer. There are also schools that also made offers to Kyle Anderson.

There are more than a dozen schools.

"o**k, now we have to gnaw on the hardest bone!"

…

imperial capital

Basketball co-organizer.

Jiang Chao came to the door without any warning.

No way, he was really scared. Last time in the Magic City Basketball Association, just because Yao had announced in advance that Jiang Chao was coming, he couldn't talk about anything at all, and the entire scene was full of talk.

So this time he went straight to the point and expressed that he wanted to meet Gong Luming, the current deputy director of the Basketball Association.

There's no need to meet the real ones. Those who came out of table tennis were destined to not be able to chat together.

Sean Marks actually came here, but due to translation and various problems, it was too difficult to explain, and Sean Marks himself didn’t know much about naturalization.

After all, this thing can be regarded as setting a precedent, and the Basketball Association is particularly cautious.

In addition, there were some conflicts between Jiang Chao and the Basketball Association before, because Jiang Chao wanted to invest in the men's national basketball team, but did not want to invest in the CBA, which made some leaders of the Basketball Association who wanted to make money from the CBA very angry.

So unless Jiang Chao comes in person, if his subordinates come, they won't be able to see him.

But when Jiang Chao came, it would be easy to say. Gong Luming received a call from security and personally walked out to pick up Jiang Chao.

Gong Luming can be said to be a meritorious coach who saved the Chinese men's basketball team from dire straits several times. However, now that the men's basketball team has not reached the stage where he has come out of retirement, it is very comfortable to wait here for retirement.

But he knows football best, and after hearing what Jiang Chao meant, he immediately slapped his horse in agreement.

However, he also said that this matter was of great importance and he invited some important leaders to come over to discuss the matter.

When the leader came, he first patted Jiang Chao's career, and then started talking about how the national team and the national youth team had lost two consecutive games to the provincial team. Without Yao Yao in the starting lineup in 2009, it was difficult for the national team to compete among the top players in Asia.

, so Jiang Chao’s naturalization suggestion came very timely.

"It's just, who knows if you are a good player?" The Basketball Association certainly didn't have any scouts reporting on Kai Li. They only knew that Kai Li was "a good guy" and could be considered half one of their own.

Gong Luming suggested: "Several players of the national team are training at Wukesong Sports Center. Why don't you go there and give it a try?"

"Okay, let's go!"

Next, we first went to Wukesong to find Li Nan, Du Feng, Zhu Fangyu and others who are currently training. It is the CBA off-season and the three of them are training in the imperial capital.

Zhu Fangyu was Jiang Chao's old fan. He was the only one who hugged Jiang Chao when he saw him coming. Jiang Chao also knew that he had punched him hard on the Internet earlier, so he couldn't help but give him a slap as well:

"You'll have to guard against Kyle Li with all your strength later."

"No problem, this guy looks like he has very long arms."

"I'm 100 times better at dribbling than you are, believe it or not."

"I'll kill him right now!"

The Basketball Association's assessment of a player's level is very simple. It just depends on whether he can beat the national team's strongest striker in a one-on-one match.

The result was that when the baby-faced Wang Dahui faced Li Nan, he used his height to get inside and easily scored 3 goals.

His wish was fulfilled when he played against Zhu Fangyu. He was dribbling at various rhythms and he couldn't find the direction. He was directly overturned. You must know that this is a dribbler of 2.06 meters. The rhythm and rhythm of this dribbling

It was so amazing that Zhu Fangyu couldn't help but applaud him.

Finally, there is Du Feng, the man who talks harshly about the national team. This veteran who is retiring next year has a good defensive attitude, but his footsteps really can't keep up with Kyle Anderson. He looks like a slow-moving essence of human beings who relies on his broad shoulders to hold the ball.

Turn around and use your long arms to lick the ball into the basket!

To put it simply, a little-known high school graduate from the United States defeated the men's basketball team in a one-on-one game!

"Don't be discouraged, this level is worth naturalizing, isn't it?" Jiang Chao patted Zhu Fangyu's arm in Chinese and said with a smile. You must know that Zhu Fangyu was against James when he played against the American team.

Zhu Fangyu: "I feel that the level of foreign players in our team is higher than that of our team. There are no players with his playing style in the United States, right?"

"You're really right, his rhythm is unique."

Then Gong Luming didn't speak English, so he directly showed Anderson several tactical panels and asked him to move according to the red dots, which are the tactical points. He simply completed it.

What does this mean??

All the leaders present could see it, which means that this guy has both personal strength and tactical qualities??

Looking at him, he is very naive and doesn't talk much, and he doesn't pretend to be like other American players, which is quite in line with the temperament of Chinese players.

only.

Jiang Chao's idea is too exaggerated.

You must know that the men's football team has not yet engaged in naturalization and has not completely taken this step. Is the men's basketball team taking the lead????

Then they want to keep their reputation even more. This matter needs to be negotiated with the superiors of other departments.

Jiang Chao also knew their concerns and said directly:

"When the results come out, no one will say a word."

He is also very annoyed and has no choice. The road is long and difficult, but he is willing to be the pioneer of the Chinese men's basketball team!

"Then one of him is enough?"

"It's enough, but if you use too much, you'll feel disgusted. After all, there are only five people on the court in basketball."

"Besides, I also have requirements for this book, okay?"

Jiang Chao also put forward his own request, which is to let Ding Yanyuhang and Guo Ailun join the national team now. If the two people he mentioned are not selected by the country, then he will not help the Basketball Association to naturalize them.

"Then we have to vote and discuss it internally, okay?" Although Xin Lancheng, the director of the Basketball Association, doesn't understand basketball, he can see how awesome this person brought by Jiang Chao is, but this matter does involve a lot.

The reason why they can come now is because Kyle Anderson has just been certified as having Chinese ancestry by Shenzhen, so it is much easier to accept psychologically. He also has yellowish skin in appearance, so it depends on what other people want.

After all, they themselves know how many domestic connections there are in the national team, the National Youth Team, and even the entire CBA waiting to play in the national team.

Jiang Chao's words really spoke to their hearts. The national team only looks at resumes, qualifications, and connections. Unless you are strong enough like Zhu Fangyu and Arab League, whoever comes after is not stuffed in by the local basketball association.

of?

Later, those foreign coaches were not even qualified to select players.

So Jiang Chao arranged for one person to come in, and he also wanted to forcefully bring up Guo Ailun from the National Youth Team and Ding Yanyuhang from the Shandong Youth Team. Wouldn't this occupy 3 positions?

The national team roster only has 12 players.

Although Yao Yao has left, a lot of people in the country are pointing their fingers at him. The local basketball associations regard this as performance. If a player enters the national team, the local basketball association can praise him for several years.

"Okay, anyway, I've agreed on what I asked for and what I'll give you. Goodbye."

Jiang Chao doesn't want to stay long, but we can't let Kyle Anderson see the characteristics of China now - a smelly and long conference.

Instead, he took Kyle Anderson to experience a wave of special Chinese dishes such as Imperial Roast Duck, Bean Sauce, and Soup Dumplings, and also taught him how to use chopsticks.

Kyle Anderson almost vomited after drinking soy juice. Jiang Chao said that when he goes to play games in Changsha in the future, he must not eat stinky tofu.

"I've heard about that. You arranged this gourmet restaurant at your home stadium, but it was later canceled due to complaints."

"Hahaha, I'm an old Knicks fan."

Jiang Chao almost spit out a mouthful of bean juice.

The two of them were eating and chatting in the alley.

In the words, Jiang Chao also asked Kyle Anderson to practice shooting more. Today in Wukesong, although he didn't shoot a few shots, Jiang Chao knew that long-range shooting is what Kyle Anderson is least good at. This still needs to be practiced well in international competitions.

Yes, otherwise there will be big human shields waiting inside, and it will be difficult to break through.

"Understood, boss, I will practice shooting more every day!"

"Don't practice today. Relax in the evening. It's best to find a Chinese girlfriend. You will be a complete Chinese son-in-law, haha."

"Kiss, kiss, kiss?"

"So to speak."

The two returned to the hotel. Kyle Anderson went to the nightclub where James went to dance, while Jiang Chao was thinking about what these old antiques meant today. Simply put, it was Kyle Li joining the national team.

They got nothing except improved performance.

The Li family also got the money that Jiang Chao secretly gave to Kyle Anderson to join the family tree. The Basketball Association did not get any benefit at all.

And if talents from other CBA teams come to the national team, then stop talking, emmmm, everyone understands.

At this time, Gong Luming, who had just finished the meeting, called and asked where Jiang Chao was. He came over alone to chat alone.

Jiang Chao reported the address of the hotel, and Gong Luming soon appeared in the conference room on the first floor of the hotel.

Jiang Chao ordered a dessert for him. It was the most comfortable to have something to eat after such a meeting. Sure enough, even the old-school coach Gong, who was always reserved, couldn't resist the temptation of the cake. While eating, he told Jiang Chao about the content of the meeting and

His personal opinion.

The meeting they held initially recognized Jiang Chao's role, and when the Tianchao men's basketball team was at its weakest, Li Kai was sent to strengthen it.

Ahem...

Jiang Chao almost couldn't hold it back. It seemed like he was weakest now, but in fact it was just the beginning of weakness.

Then he personally feels that Li Kai can control, shoot and play inside, so he will definitely be a killer in the international arena. His rhythmic style of play is also needed by the national team, and he knows that the Turkish Men's Basketball World Cup in August this year is imminent.

Naturalization must be finalized now.

If the vote is officially cast tomorrow, he also has a vote.

Jiang Chao lowered his voice and said:

"Coach Gong, how about you help Kyle Anderson join the team and I support you as the head coach?"

"Young man, it's not good for you to do this." Director Gong squinted his eyes and knocked on the table.

"I really think you are great as a head coach, isn't this also okay?"
