Xinhua News Agency, New York, May 10 (Reporter Pan Yi Long term) Cai Chongxin, vice president of Alibaba Group, member of NBA China board of directors, and new boss of WNBA New York freemen, said in New York on the 9th, he is very willing to contribute to the promotion of Sino-US sports and cultural exchanges. He is very happy to welcome China’s women’s basketball as the host and is full of confidence in the role of Han Xu after joining the free team.
Tsai Chongxin told reporters before the free men’s women’s basketball friendly match with China: “The communication between Chinese and American people is very important and can enhance mutual understanding and understanding. Everyone walks together in the common language of sports. Therefore, I think it is a great honor to support China to train and compete in the United States women’s basketball, and to compete with my free team in New York at the first stop.”
He went on to say: “This kind of competition provides a good platform for audiences to better understand the culture of China and the United States, including certain competitive relations. I am willing to do my best to facilitate such communication.”
When talking about Han Xu, Cai Chongxin said: “Han Xu is a top player in China. I have seen her game videos before, especially the match against the US team in the world championships. Han Xu not only got 20 points, but also grabbed 5 rebounds and let his opponent eat two ‘hotpots’, which was very eye-catching. This is the main reason why the Liberals chose her in the draft.”
He said: “Yesterday, I had the opportunity to have a face-to-face communication with Han Xu. Her personality is very outgoing and easy to get along. She is still very young, only 19 years old. I believe she has great potential in the future.”
When it comes to the Free Men team, Cai Chongxin, who completed the acquisition of the free men team in January this year, said: “The team’s performance last year was not ideal, and it was the second last place in the league. The new season is about to start, and I have not set any record goals for the team. I hope to establish the team culture of the team first. If a team wants to continue winning, team spirit is crucial. Basketball is played by five people, not by one.”
Tsai Chongxin believes: “The arrival of Han Xu will play a good role in promoting the construction of team culture, especially the integration of various Chinese and different cultures. As long as everyone can live a harmonious life and play happily together, I will be satisfied.” (Finished)
