Chapter 349 Ying Xiong's Choice
How important this Asian Championship is, the Chinese men's basketball team is very clear.Because, if you win the championship, you can get a ticket for next year's London Olympics.In Asia, there is only one such through train...

——That's why all the strong teams in Asia are eyeing the champion of this year's Asian Championships. Of course, the most popular team to win the championship is naturally the Chinese team as the host.

The Chinese national team, which has two active NBA players, Ying Xiong and Yi Jianlian, is the biggest obstacle for other strong Asian teams to win the championship.And the Chinese team has only one goal in this Asian Championship, and that is to be the champion!
本届亚锦赛将于9月15日-9月25日在WH市举行，共有16支球队参加本届比赛，分为A、B、C、D4个小组，作为东道主的中华国队位于D组。同组的3支球队分别为菲律宾队、阿联酋队、巴林队。

After Ying Xiong returned to the team, the Chinese men's basketball team began an intense and intensive training session.For Xiangxiong, he would not spend a lot of time on eating, drinking and having fun in the summer, and his personal special training was replaced by the national team's training camp, which is also very good.Although training alone is more targeted, it is quite boring. Training camps also have advantages. You can conduct 5-on-5 full-court confrontations, which will be better for maintaining the feeling of the game.

Ying Xiong joined the national training team in mid-July. At this time, there are still two full months before the opening of the Asian Championships.And when he was training, he had been paying attention to the situation in the NBA. There is no sign of any improvement in the situation of the NBA suspension, but he believes that the NBA will not be suspended for too long, otherwise it will be harmful to both labor and management.

On the other hand, in the United States, Li Jianwu followed Bill Duffy to learn how to deal with clubs, how to negotiate, how to find suitable endorsements, how to maximize the commercial value of players, and so on.Li Jianwu studied very seriously. Although he was very tired at the beginning, he did not slack off and lived a fulfilling life.

And Sun Jing is constantly studying, and next semester, she will go to graduate school. For this reason, she is constantly recharging herself to make herself better.

Everyone is busy with their own affairs, and the days are passing by in the busyness.

During the national team training camp, Ying Xiong focused on training his physical fitness. Of course, the practice of outside long-range shots and strength did not fall behind.In the contest between Turkey World Championships and the Dream Team last year, he deeply realized how important physical fitness is.Even though his physical fitness is already the best in the Chinese men's basketball team, it is still not enough.If you want to be good, your physical fitness is very important. You must know that in the playoffs, most superstars average playing time close to 40 minutes per game, and some games even need more than 40 minutes.In this case, if you don't have enough physical fitness and can't have enough combat effectiveness at the critical stage of the game, it is likely that the efforts of the whole game will fall short.

Ying Xiong's devotion to training and his strictness to himself surprised other players participating in this training camp.Some players who were not familiar with him before thought that he could achieve such results mainly because of his unborn talent.But when training with him, seeing his seriousness and devotion to training, his strict attitude towards himself, and the intensity of his training, they immediately understood that his success was not only due to his outstanding talent, but also There are efforts that ordinary people can't match.

When Deng Huade saw Ying Xiong and Yi Jianlian in the formation, training with other players, he felt very at ease.With two active NBA players, one inside and one outside, as the core, he is confident of winning the Asian Championships and getting tickets to the London Olympics.

Time flies, the summer vacation is over in a blink of an eye, it is September, and the Asian Championships are coming soon.During this period of time, the NBA still has not ended the lockout, and the CBA clubs have begun to contact NBA free agents, hoping to introduce powerful players to improve the strength of the lineup.Ying Xiong has also received invitations from CBA clubs many times, and several European clubs have offered him olive branches.

Ying Xiong handed over all these things to Li Jianwu, under the guidance of Bill Duffy, while he trained with peace of mind, without being disturbed by trivial matters from the outside world.His meaning is very clear, that is, not to sign with any club other than the NBA.If he didn't make it clear before that he was leaving a buffer for both the club and himself, then the clear answer now is to be responsible to the other party.Since they are unwilling to sign with the other party, it is much better to refuse early than to drag it all the time, so that they can also focus on chasing other players.

For Xiong, choosing not to sign with a club other than the NBA is also his own consideration.He will know that making such a decision will not only cost him a fortune, but also risk the NBA's entire season being suspended and he will have no games to play.But in his opinion, it's not his style to make himself do things he doesn't like to do for a little immediate benefit.Even if the NBA does not play for the entire season, he already has his own training plan.Don't waste training because of the NBA lockout, let yourself stop.

Of course, there is also an important reason why Ying Xiong did not do this. He believes that the NBA will end the lockout soon.

Ying Xiong's decision surprised his agent Bill Duffy, but he admired this young man very much.In today's materialistic society, it is not easy for a young man to let go of his immediate interests.

For Li Jianwu, Ying Xiong is much smarter than himself. As the Chinese manager of his good brother, he just needs to support the other party unconditionally. Ying Xiong must have his reasons for his decision not to sign the contract.

For many CBA clubs, Ying Xiong made it clear that he would not sign with any of them when they were disappointed.Ying Xiong's strength and dominance in the CBA have already been proven when he was still in Guangsha.After 3 years of experience in the NBA, he won the championship and his strength has improved significantly. If he joins a CBA team and does not occupy the quota of foreign aid, it is definitely the most effective and direct way to enhance the strength of the team.Of course, for the Guangsha team, the sense of loss is even greater.After all, as Yingxiong's old club, they both had the experience of winning the championship together in the CBA, and they are also the team most likely to sign Yingxiong.A little consolation to them is that Yingxiong also did not sign with other teams, so they did not lose to anyone in the process of competing for Yingxiong.

External comments, arguments, and even slander will not affect Ying Xiong. He devotes himself to training and lives a life of "keep his ears off the outside world and only read sage books".
