The new goal of Chinese men's basketball naturalization! The new star of the Pacers expressed his willingness to join: My great-grandfather was Chinese
The Chinese men's basketball team naturalized Li Kaier this year, but the latter's performance in the World Cup was average. Many basketball insiders believe that the Chinese men's basketball team should naturalize guards who are good at attacking with the ball. And now, Pacers rookie guard Isaiah Wang admitted in an interview that he has Chinese ancestry and is willing to play for the Chinese men's basketball team. It's time for the Chinese Basketball Association to take action, he is a naturalized player who is more suitable for the Chinese men's basketball team than Li Kaier.
"My great-grandfather was Chinese, and I don't know a lot of historical origins in that regard, but I know that my father's grandfather was Chinese, and that's all I know. Isaiah Wang said this in response to his Chinese roots.
The reporter then introduced to Isaiah Wang the fact that Kyle Anderson became a naturalized Chinese citizen and represented the Chinese men's basketball team in the game, and asked Isaiah Wang whether he was willing to play for the Chinese men's basketball team in the international arena in the future.
"Of course, if they want me to join, I'm willing to do it, I like to compete at a high level. ”
The reporter also asked Isaiah Wang if he would like to try to learn Xi Chinese culture, such as trying dumplings. Isaiah Wang said, "I'm willing to try anything to get close to this culture. Isaiah Wang also said that he likes to eat Chinese food, such as drinking soup and eating dumplings.
The reporter asked Isaiah Wang: "Do your teammates know that you have Chinese ancestry?" Isaiah Wang said: "Some people know, most people know." ”
Isaiah Wang sat next to T.J. McConnell, and the reporter asked, "Does TJ know?" McConnell turned his head and asked, "What do you know?" Isaiah Wang said, "I have Chinese ancestry. McConnell replied, "I know." ”
The reporter then asked: "A lot of people are talking about how you might be the next naturalization target. Isaiah Wang said, "Great, I'm happy. Send me an email, a text message, or something. ”
