The Strongest Bishop in the NBA

Wang Xiao did not accept any invitation for an interview. He is no longer a little-known little coach a few years ago. After success, remember not to be inflated.

When he was in the U.S., he could BB casually in front of the U.S. media and say whatever he wanted, but he had to restrain himself and be careful at home, because once something was not appropriate, the impact at home would be much greater than abroad. too much.

The form of exclusive interviews can easily be published out of context by journalists with ulterior motives, and the best way to prevent this potential threat is to hold a public press conference.

In mid-August, Wang Xiao publicly stated that he would hold a press conference before the end of the training camp to announce the final results of the second Wang Xiao training camp and answer questions from some Huaxia fans.

The end date of the training camp was set on September 10.

This time is different from last year. Last year because of the suspension of the NBA, Wang Xiao had plenty of time to investigate. This time, the NBA will resume the normal game system. The preseason will start in early October, and Wang Xiao must return to the team in mid-September. Getting ready for the start of the new season.

As the head coach of the Wizards, Wang Xiao's first priority is to improve the performance of the Wizards.

...

In fact, it didn't take long for Wang Xiao to decide on the candidate...

At the end of August, he had already identified several target candidates, and the next thing he needed to do was to see who among them was willing to sign a contract similar to that of Cheng Jie, Wang Meng and others last year.

After all, there are only a few who can make their own decisions and sign contracts like Cheng Jie. Such an important matter must be decided after careful consideration by the family. This year, it is much more difficult to sign this contract than last year.

Everything is afraid of Yuzhu in front.

Cheng Jie and Wang Meng have now become the hottest existence in the new generation of Chinese basketball. Although they only played one U17 World Youth Championship on behalf of the National Youth Team, their performance on the court is really too high compared to other National Youth Team teammates. Dazzling, don't even think about it, these two will definitely become basketball stars in the future, even if they don't reach the height of Dayao, they will definitely not lose to Yi Jianlian!

Although Yi Jianlian is far inferior to Yao in terms of achievement and strength, he can be counted as a successful representative in the Chinese men's basketball team, and he is also the only Chinese player left in the NBA.

...

When Wang Xiao selected a candidate and talked with him, the other party's first thought was that Wang Xiao chose me. I must have great potential, no less than Cheng Jie and Wang Meng!

And the second thought of him and his family was the rationality of Wang Xiao's contract.

A contract with a term of 20 years and liquidated damages of up to one billion is too risky, and it is even more unacceptable for Wang Xiao to take 30% of their income.

Taking Yi Jianlian’s salary as a reference, the annual salary of Yi Jianlian’s contract signed with the Wizards last season was 1.5 million US dollars, which is more than 10 million RMB, and 30% of 10 million is 3 million. This is already enough for many ordinary families. It's a sky-high price, and this may only be a one-year commission.

When the future achievements of the players are higher, the fees they have to pay to Wang Xiao will be correspondingly higher. Referring to the current Wizards players coached by Wang Xiao, even the substitute player Beverly has received a contract with an annual salary of 8 million. , which is obviously not cost-effective.

So soon, the family members of the trainees who had been in contact with Wang Xiao used various methods to get in touch with Wang Xiao, expressing their dissatisfaction with the contract, hoping that Wang Xiao could modify and adjust the contract and reduce the number of years Or reduce the ratio.

Regarding this situation, Wang Xiao just passed without saying a word of nonsense.

These people didn't know that it was not the people selected by Wang Xiao who could succeed, but the one who finally signed the contract with Wang Xiao.

These players may be talented, but they are still far from the NBA or even the CBA. Without Wang Xiao's growth template card, it is impossible to make a difference. At least Wang Xiao, who traveled from 19 years ago, has never heard of these The name of any one of the players.

...

In the end, there was no objection to the contract at all, and only one person agreed to sign the contract.

In fact, those who tried to bargain, when they found out that Wang Xiao was tough, they also compromised, but Wang Xiao didn't give them another chance.

There is only one growth template card, but there are several trainees who meet the requirements, and their own conditions are similar. In this case, how should Wang Xiao choose?

As a person with hidden choice difficulties, Wang Xiao's method of making choices is to choose the one that is most pleasing to his eyes.

The only one who didn't raise an objection was the one he liked the most...

This lucky trainee is named Hao Peng, 17 years old, 2.01 meters tall, mainly training small forwards, but at his age, 2.01 meters is already very tall, so he often appears in the paint position.

This is a very energetic kid. His personality is a bit similar to Wang Meng, but he is more passionate than Wang Meng. He is not afraid of confrontation on the court, even when facing stronger players than him. This is what Wang Xiao values. his immediate cause.

If an inside player is afraid of physical confrontation, what is the difference between him and a waste?

...

Looking at Hao Peng, Wang Xiao asked: "Hao Peng, what kind of player do you want to be in the future?"

"My idol is McGrady, and I want to be a super scorer like him." Hao Peng replied.

"The dream is pretty good..." Wang Xiao smiled and shook his head, "But your dream may have to be changed a little bit."

"?"

Hao Peng was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Wang Xiao in confusion.

Wang Xiao just smiled and did not continue.

"That... the coach."

Hao Peng said with a lot of interest: "Although my parents agreed with me to sign the contract, they are still a little uneasy. They want to see in person. They have already boarded the train to the capital, and they will arrive in one day..."

This is a very normal thing, and it was the same with Wang Meng last year. After all, it is human nature to be cautious.

"Okay, then sign the contract after your family members come."

After sending Hao Peng away, Wang Xiao called out the system.

He has hesitated between the two inside positions of center and power forward.

The future of the league will be in the era of small balls. Power forwards with strong mobility and shooting ability are obviously more comfortable than traditional centers.

Although in the small ball era, countless people claim that if the league has a super center like O'Neal, it will directly end the small ball era, but Wang Xiao has always been skeptical about this.

Because it is hard for Wang Xiao to imagine what kind of excellent performance a traditional center like O'Neal can perform in the face of frequent rotations of small ball tactics and pick-and-roll screens.
