Chapter 22 Let's Participate in the Draft Together

In the western restaurant, Xie Kai couldn't help but want to laugh when he saw Zhou Jing who wanted to have a good meal and try to be more elegant.This foodie really lives up to his reputation, and what surprised him even more is that he loves food so much that he is not fat at all, which is really a strange thing.

"You invited me to eat delicious food, are you apologizing for not replying to my message in time?" Zhou Jing raised her head, stretched out her left hand and gently brushed her long shawl hair behind her ears, then looked at Xie Kai and asked.

"Of course not, I just discovered delicious food and want to share it with the people I want to share!" Xie Kai said seriously.

"Ghost-cai-xin-" Zhou Jing pursed her lips on purpose, but the joy in her eyes couldn't be concealed.

Xie Kai is not a wooden man, so he naturally knows what's going on.He changed the subject, then folded his arms on the dining table, leaned closer, and asked, "I said quiet, I have a favor and I need you to help me!"

Zhou Jing glanced at him and said, "For the sake of treating me to delicious food, I promise to help you! Tell me, I'm listening!"

Xie Kai smiled and said, "Tomorrow we will have a championship parade, you know that, right?"

Zhou Jing nodded.

"What clothes do you think I will wear to show my most handsome side?"

"..." Zhou Jing rested her chin on her left hand, and then said, "Why didn't I know before that you are such a stinky person?"

"Hahaha... Just kidding, we've already distributed the clothes, and they're all unified championship parade T-shirts!" Xie laughed and said, "What I actually want to tell you is that I want to participate in the NBA draft!" After finishing speaking , he looked at Zhou Jing in front of him solemnly.

Zhou Jing was a little surprised, but quickly recovered: "Isn't this what you have been talking about? Now that you have won the championship, it is nothing strange to realize your dream!"

Seeing that Zhou Jing was behaving normally, Xie Kai felt worried, and lost another point.

"Xie Kai, I won't stop you from pursuing your dreams, but what I want to ask is, have you told Russell about this?" Zhou Jing stared into Xie Kai's eyes, trying to see if he was lying.

Xie Kai replied firmly: "No, you are the first person I told myself!"

"Is that understandable in this way, or did you tell me yourself?" Zhou Jing reacted very quickly, and immediately found out the hidden information behind this sentence.

"My teammates and coach, they all know. They guessed it, so I confirmed it, that's it!" Xie Kai said seriously.This is indeed the truth, he doesn't need to lie at all, so it's natural to say it with confidence.

"Xie Xiaokai, does it mean that if you really go to the NBA, you will interrupt your studies?" Zhou Jing looked at Xie Kai with reluctance and sentimentality in her eyes.

Thank you for nodding.

Xie Kai knew that there was no other way, and going to the NBA this year was his best chance.But once selected, it means that he will not return to campus.If you don't go to the draft for the past two years and finish college, you will basically declare yourself out of the NBA.

Zhou Jing was conflicted in her heart, and Xie Kai knew this very well.She is not willing to let her boyfriend not be by her side, but she can't just watch him give up the perfect opportunity to chase her dream because of her relationship.

Xie Kai stretched out his left hand and gently held Zhou Jing's hand: "Jing Jing, I know that if I enter the NBA, I won't have so much time to be with you. I understand how you feel!"

Zhou Jing shook Xie Kai's big hand instead, she was very glad that he could understand her, instead of thinking that her dream was more important than everything else, including the relationship between the two of them.

That night, Xie Kai discussed with his parents on the phone about preparing to participate in the draft.His parents were not surprised at all, and they didn't object to him interrupting his studies to participate in the draft.Originally, they came to the United States to fulfill their son's basketball dream. The NBA is the highest basketball league in the world. People go to the top, and they are too happy to be happy!
Before going to bed at night, Xie Kai got the news that his good friend Russell Westbrook is also preparing to participate in this year's draft!

Xie Kai was not surprised that Westbrook participated in the draft.Although the Internet has been talking about this year because there are many outside talents and the depth of the draft, many talented outsiders will choose to avoid their edge, stay in school for a year, and prepare to participate in next year's draft.

In particular, the "New York Times" gave their views on this year's draft: the pool of this draft is too deep, and some players will think carefully before signing up.

But Xie Kai knows that Westbrook is not the kind of character who would choose to "curve to save the country".His personality is very close to his playing style in some aspects, just like he likes to break through in a straight line, his personality is also straightforward, and his thinking is sometimes single-line, naive can be.

Westbrook is already a sophomore this year, although he is not yet 2 years old.In Xie Kai's view, he is the same as himself, if he wants to participate in the draft, this year is the best opportunity.If you run for the election next year, even if the data is better than this year's, the pick may not be higher than this year's.

Xie Kai also told Westbrook about his decision to participate in the draft. The other party laughed happily for a long time after hearing this, and joked that it would be great if they could be on the same team.

——But Xie Kai knows that the possibility of himself and Westbrook being on the same team in the NBA is extremely small.

The two men's revolutionary friendship began in high school.Both Xie Kai and Westbrook attended Lujinger High School in high school, and they were teammates on the high school team.In high school basketball, the two are the core of the team and performed very well.Of course, in comparison, Westbrook's performance is better than Xie Kai.

The relationship between the two is very good, just like brothers, Xie Kai often goes to Westbrook's house, and Westbrook often goes to Xie Kai's house.

In the words of Xie Kai's mother - "These two people are like wearing a pair of pants!"

After graduating from high school, Westbrook joined UCLA, while Xie Kai left for Kansas.What I didn't expect was that Xie Kaihui won the NCAA championship before Westbrook.

Westbrook often jokes that if only he could be as handsome as Xie Kai.Xie Kai thinks being handsome is useless for playing basketball, the NBA is not Hollywood.On the contrary, some people are jealous of your looks and deliberately target you on the court.

Xie Kai is envious of Westbrook's physical fitness, the ability to make difficult technical moves on the court, which he has always imagined to have.

Speaking of which, Westbrook is really not handsome, but in Xie Kai's opinion, his girlfriend Nina Russell in college looks good, at least among black girls, she is considered a beauty.

On April 4, there were also outstanding players from the NCAA who announced their participation in the draft.According to the Associated Press, LSU forward Anthony Randolph will enter the NBA draft this summer.

Xie Kai knows that this summer is not destined to be peaceful.For me, if it goes well, this year will be the beginning of my basketball career, and it will be an important year for me to move from campus to society.
