The official of the Chinese Basketball Association announced: with the promotion and support of all parties, Li Kele has acquired Chinese nationality this morning and met Yao Ming, the chairman of the Chinese Basketball Association. What kind of player is Carl Anderson? Let Xiao braiding know about it today.
Li Kelle was born in New York on September 20, 1993 and grew up in New Jersey. Li Kael’s grandmother grew up in Jamaica. His father was Chinese and his mother was from Jamaica. Li Kael’s grandfather used to be a professional football player.
Li Kele is 206cm tall and has an arm stretch of 221cm. He is a forward. He has been in NBA career for 9 years now, representing Spurs, Grizzly Bear and Timberwolves in 574 regular season matches, starting 294 games, an average of 21.8 minutes can get 7.0 points, 4.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 1.0 steals, and 1.0 mistakes and 1.6 fouls, with a hit rate of 48.1%/34.5%/71.5%.
When Li Kael was about to be 1 year old, he began to walk and play basketball. When he was 3 years old, Li keel attended his first basketball training camp. Li Kael’s father once played basketball in college and was a high school basketball coach. Although Li Kele is tall, his father does not want him to be a low-level player, but wants to train him as a point guard. Therefore, Li Kele often plays with older players, and became a forward player with control skills. Li Kelle was 196cm tall in high school. Although the coach often asked him to play forward, he did not lose his skill of controlling guards. He helped the team win two state championships and was named the best player of the year in New Jersey. Although he won a lot of honors in high school, under the good education of his family, Li Kelle maintained a humble character. At that time, Li Keel, who was as tall as 203cm, was the top two of the small forward in the ranking of major American media, keeping pace with sabaz-Mohammed.
In 2011, Li Kael promised to join UCLA. In the freshman season, in most of the time as a forward, Li Kele can get 9.7 points, 8.6 rebounds, 3.5 assists, and the basketball team is the first. In his freshman year, Li keel became the first Pac-12 player to win 300 rebounds and 100 assists in a single season since Bill Walton’s senior season. Although Li Kael’s market at that time had stabilized in the first half of the round. But he was not in a hurry to enter the NBA. After discussing with his family, Li Kael chose to return to UCLA and practice shooting hard during the off-season.

In the 2018-19 season, Li keel suffered from injuries.
