"Ah? This is a great thing. If Yao Ming can come back, then we will still be the hegemon in Asia."
Xin Lancheng said excitedly.
Others were also very excited and started whispering.
"However, Yao Ming is 32 years old after all. Even if he comes back, it will be difficult for him to survive until the 2016 Olympics."
Xu Xin reminded that he was somewhat disappointed that everyone only focused on next year's Asian Championships.
"To tell you the truth, the Asian Championships championship is a dead order given to us by the General Administration of Sports, so everyone is focusing on the Asian Championships now. We have not yet considered the Olympics three years later."
Xin Lancheng smiled sarcastically.
"I think we can give young players more opportunities through next year's competition to prepare for the 2014 World Championships and the 2016 Olympics."
Xu Xin thought for a while and said.
"Oh? I've heard that Manager Xu has a sharp eye. Who do you think is the most malleable talent among these young players in the China Men's Basketball Team?"
Xin Lancheng is interested. In fact, he also hopes to do good things and do practical things for the China Men's Basketball Team, but he also has many unspeakable secrets. The resistance at all levels is indeed too great, and many things are counterproductive.
"Zhou Qi, Wang Zhelin, Guo Ailun, Ding Yanyuhang, Abdul Saramu, Xirelijiang, Gu Quan, He Tianju, Zhao Jiwei."
Xu Xin named a long list of names. Some of these people had just played in the domestic basketball league for a year or two, and some were still representing the national youth team in the national youth competition.
Everyone was stunned as these familiar and unfamiliar names floated in the air.
A trace of surprise flashed in everyone's eyes. They didn't expect that Xu Xin knew so much about Chinese basketball.
They don't think that the names Xu Xin mentioned are casual. Xu Xin's several transactions and signings with the Rockets can prove how unique his vision is.
As for why Xu Xin could name these people?
Several of these people became the laughing stock of fans a few years later.
What about "Bo Lanzhou", "Guo Yifen", "Aunt Wang" and so on.
But in fact, the talent they have shown at this age is already outstanding in the country.
Among them, Zhou Qi and Wang Zhelin were selected by the NBA in the second round, and Guo Ailun, Ding Yanyuhang, Abdul Saramu, and He Tianju were invited to participate in the NBA Summer League.
This is already the most outstanding achievement achieved by this group of basketball players born in the 1990s.
Xu Xin believes that the potential shown by these players in this age group is not bad, but the domestic basketball environment is not suitable for players to hone their skills because they have no sense of crisis.
There are people around me who are weaker than me, and I can always get a big contract, so why should I work hard?
At the age when they should improve the most, they waste time on smoking, drinking, and perming their hair. At the age when they should grow up, they give up the muscle-building nutritious meal and choose egg-filled cakes.
The long period of sinking finally led to them disappearing from the public.
"Does Manager Xu think these young men have the potential to hit the NBA?"
Xin Lancheng asked enthusiastically.
"There must be some. The question is whether they want to go, and whether their club is willing to let them go? If they don't go after they are 22 years old, there is a high probability that they will not be able to go in this life."
Xu Xin's expression is playful.
"As long as I can go, I will do the work of the players and the club. China is in great need of a basketball player who can gain a firm foothold in the NBA."
Xin Lancheng said, his eyes very eager.
This made Xu Xin change his mind a lot. He pondered for a while and expressed his thoughts buried in his heart.
"The sooner they go abroad, the better it will be for the development of their careers and the improvement of China's basketball level. If they can form a group to train with the Rockets next summer, there will be a big improvement in both their draft rankings and their technical level. improvement."
Xu Xin said word for word.
After hearing Xu Xin's words, Xin Lancheng's eyes flashed with excitement. He realized that this might be an opportunity to change the future of Chinese basketball.
"Great! Lao Li, please record the list that Manager Xu just mentioned, and go talk to the clubs and youth teams tomorrow. I want them not to be left behind, and they can all go to the Rockets to train next summer!"
Xin Lancheng's voice was a little excited.
Lao Li on the side quickly nodded in agreement.
Xu Xin continued to talk about peace,
"Then please, Director Xin, please, everyone. I'm waiting for good news from everyone."
. . .
The day before New Year's Day, Xu Xin returned to Houston. Although the trip to China in less than a week was rushed, it was very fruitful.
The two things that have been lingering in Xu Xin's mind have gained some insights. Yao Mai is willing to return to the Rockets. The attitude of the Basketball Association is an unexpected surprise.
At the moment, what Xu Xin needs to do is to help the Rockets win as many games as possible, accumulate enough points, and prepare for the next "consumption".
After getting off the plane and going straight back to the office, Xu Xin checked this week's work report. There weren't many things going on, but there was a lot of good news.
During his return to China, the Rockets won three consecutive away games, including revenge against the Spurs. The boys successfully avenged themselves in the away game and their morale was greatly boosted.
Next, the team will face the Eagles at home on New Year's Day, a game they are determined to win.
The Rockets are now receiving more and more attention, not only from the local fans in Houston, but also from fans in China. The number is very large.
Xu Xin wants to give this victory to all the fans and friends who support and like the Rockets. This is the best way to wish everyone a happy New Year.
After finishing the work at hand, Xu Xin walked towards the team training hall.
The training hall is filled with a strong basketball atmosphere.
On the night of New Year's Eve, every player on the team is fully preparing for the upcoming game.
"Manager Xu is back!"
McHale said with a smile.
"Yeah, I just arrived in the afternoon. Well, I haven't even had time to put my luggage home yet."
Xu Xin forced out a smile, and his handsome face couldn't hide a bit of fatigue.
"Just in time, I'll be doing team building with the team in the evening, and I've booked a restaurant."
McHale said with a smile.
"Okay, it's rare to have dinner with everyone. Today is a good day."
Xu Xin nodded in agreement.
The two stood on the sidelines whispering, talking about the current situation of the team and the results of Xu Xin's return to China.
"When I returned to China this time, I met both Yao Ming and Tracy McGrady. Their physical condition is pretty good and they are currently recovering actively. It is expected that they will be able to sign with the team before the All-Star Game."
Xu Xin said.
"What about their competitive level?"
McHale was still worried.
"I will solve this problem. Before the playoffs start at the latest, both of them can return to the level of 2008."
Xu Xin said decisively.
