On the 24th, the official of the Chinese Basketball Association announced that Li Kael was granted Chinese nationality. The Chinese Basketball Association wrote on Weibo: “Welcome Li Kele!

Li Keel’s first domestic show will be in the warm-up match in August. After playing, he will go to the World Cup with China’s men’s basketball.

In order to strengthen the strength of China’s men’s basketball, the Chinese Basketball Association has been working hard to naturalize the active forest Wolf frontal line player Li Kael. Li Keel was born on September 20, 1993 in Fairview, New Jersey, USA, with 1/8 Chinese ancestry. He was the NBA’s first round show on the 30th in 2014. He played for Spurs, Grizzly Bear and Forest Wolf, and was an important rotating player of the team. This season, Li Kele joined the Timberwolves and played 69 games in the regular season, averaging 9.4 points, 5.3 rebounds and 4.9 assists, with a three-point hit rate of 41% and a field goal percentage of 50.9%. Li Kael had previously returned to China to visit relatives with his mother, which also became an important life experience for him.

At the end of June, Li Keer went to Shanghai to handle the relevant procedures for citizenship. During his stay in Shanghai, he also met with China’s men’s basketball coach, Qiao erjievic, and the two communicated well. After that, Li Kelle returned to the United States, waiting for the progress of the formalities.

Li Kelle returned to Shanghai again on July 23 to complete the final processing of the citizenship procedures. This time Li Kael’s mother wanted to witness this important moment very much, so she decided to come with him. Li keel is willing to play for China’s men’s basketball, which is partly because his mother hopes so.

Li Kelle is 2 meters 06 tall and weighs 104 kilograms. His position on the court is the front line. He was selected to enter NBA in Spurs in the 30th round of the first round of the 2014 draft. His career was played in three teams: Spurs, Grizzly Bear and Timberwolves. He played in 574 regular season matches and scored 7.0 points in each game, 4.5 rebounds, 2.6 assists, field goal percentage 48.1%.

According to the reporter of Beijing Youth Daily, Li Kael has acquired Chinese nationality, and then he will settle down and get a Chinese passport. On the Chinese passport, his name is Li Kele. After getting the Chinese passport, Li keel will leave for Slovenia to join China men’s basketball.

There is no doubt that Li Keel’s joining China men’s basketball will definitely bring great strength improvement to the team. Li Keel has good offensive skills and terminal capabilities, which are all needed by China’s men’s basketball. More importantly, Li Keel’s joining has injected stronger confidence into China’s qualification to hit the Paris Olympics men’s basketball. China men’s basketball need strong players like Li Kele to “boost” in the process of impacting the Olympic qualification “.

But at the same time, Li Keel also needs some time to understand the characteristics of teammates and the team system, and he must also race against time. China has been training its team in warm-up matches overseas Men’s Basketball. I believe it won’t take too long to see Li Kael wearing the Chinese men’s basketball shirt.

Li keel can be competent for multiple positions in the stadium. He will have a clearer answer only after he returns to the team and trains for a period of time. China currently has more men’s basketball frontal line player, including Zhang Zhenlin, Zeng fanbo, Zhu Junlong, Zhou Peng, etc. At present, there are 16 people in the training team in China men’s basketball. After Li keel returns to the team, they may make personnel adjustments in the position of the front line. It can be seen from the recent China men’s basketball warm-up match that they are still the biggest short board in terms of guard position and external projection.
