Chapter 345: East Showdown, Against Knights

Wang Xiao couldn't react a little, or it could be said that he was shocked.

The Basketball Association actually compromised? And already seriously considering the issue of inviting yourself to coach the men's national basketball team?

To be honest, although it was Wang Xiao who planted it himself, he never expected that this could actually blossom and bear fruit!

Does the basketball association compromise with the individual, with the media?

That's completely impossible, and the official authority is not to be challenged or questioned, at least that's what the Basketball Association has always shown.

But now, the Basketball Association actually wants to bow to Wang Xiao, a coach, which is really incredible.

However, in Da Yao's subsequent narration, Wang Xiao roughly understood the beginning and end of the matter.

It turned out that a certain bigwig personally came forward to test the pressure of the Basketball Association, forcing the latter to bear the pressure and had to make compromises.

After all, the Basketball Association is nothing in front of a certain bigwig.

If the men's basketball team has performed well in the past two years, they may still be able to find some excuses to shirk it, but the men's basketball team is currently experiencing the most severe winter in decades, and the record is outrageously bad.

Therefore, the Basketball Association can be said to be at a loss for words.

After understanding the whole story, Wang Xiao was also shocked and speechless for a long time.

I can't imagine that my own things can already be heard by some bigwigs.

……

There is no doubt that this is good news, great news.

Wang Xiao has never rejected serving as the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team, especially now, after three years of hard work, he has cultivated three NBA All-Star and even superstar-level players for the men's national basketball team.

Cheng Jie and Wang Meng currently have the strength to start in the NBA, and Hao Peng is even more behind, although he used the growth template card a year later than the other two, but his strength is already better than the two.

The SS-level growth template card is not only a gap in the player template, but also the speed and efficiency of growth are better than that of the S card and the A card.

Now the strength of these three people may not have fully reached the upper limit of the growth template card, that is, the peak level of the template characters, but the three of them together can already make a qualitative change in the strength of the Chinese men's basketball team.

To put it bluntly, even if it is coached by a pig, as long as there are these three people, the Chinese men's basketball team is invincible in Asia.

And Wang Xiao only needs a little training, supplemented by the practice bonus of the training module, it is not impossible for the Chinese men's basketball team to become an international powerhouse, and it can even pose a threat to the American Dream Team.

......

Da Yao's phone call just told Wang Xiao the good news in advance, and he was mentally prepared, because although the Basketball Association had to compromise under pressure, it did not mean that Wang Xiao would be accepted smoothly, and there may be all kinds of difficulties waiting for him.

If Wang Xiao really wants to coach the national team, he must be fully prepared to deal with it.

Before that, the first thing Wang Xiao needs to do is to win the playoffs, win the O'Brien Cup for the third time, create a Wizards dynasty, and make his resume even more brilliant.

......

The Cleveland Cavaliers are basically the biggest obstacle on the way to the Wizards' championship.

LeBron. James, Dwight. Howard, Carey. Owen, Kevin. The Big Four of Lefou's four can be regarded as a behemoth in the league.

But for the Wizards, it's just a strong team that has a chance to threaten them.

That's right, the Wizards have that confidence.

What happened to the Cavaliers? What happened to the Big Four?

A quasi-league No. 1 who was beaten away by the Wizards in the Heat, two data brushes who have never led a team to the playoffs alone, plus a first center who has passed his prime and now looks like a super blue-collar center.

Have any of them won the championship? Do you have a regular season record of 73 wins? Do they have a miracle coach who can turn stones into gold?

Although Paul. George was unable to play due to injury, but Wizards fans didn't feel at all that their team was going to lose, or even be at a disadvantage during the game.

In front of the invincible wizard dynasty, all enemies are just chickens and dogs.

In such a frenetic atmosphere, the first game of the Eastern Conference finals began in Washington, D.C., the home of the Wizards.

The starting lineup for the Wizards is Curry, Thompson, Leonard, Green and Gobert.

The Cavaliers' starting lineup is Irving, J.R. Smith, James, Love and Howard.

The midfield jumped, and Howard relied on his remaining bounce ability to outperform Gobert and move the ball to several sides.

Irving received the ball across half court and then handed it to James.

Whether it's in the Cavaliers or the Heat, it's James who controls the ball and the pace of the game, not the point guard, and coaches are more inclined to let James organize the offense.

Facing Leonard, he stands on the top arc with the ball and then hits the ball to the ground and passes it inside.

Lefou, who cut into the inside, jumped up to the basket after receiving the ball, and Green reacted a little slower by half a beat, and it was too late to chase the defense, but at this time Gobert arrived with a horse.

With his long arms stretched high, Gobert almost covered the sky above Lefou, forcing Lefu to angle his shot to avoid Gobert's block, causing the basketball to deflect off the rim and bounce off the rim before bouncing off.

Howard jumped up and grabbed the rebound while Gobert and Green were staring at Love, then jumped up and dunked the basketball into the basket with both hands.

"Drink!"

The opening contribution made Howard very excited, and he couldn't help but roar loudly in celebration when he landed.

But his voice didn't stop, Gobert had already picked up the basketball and retreated to the outside of the baseline, and threw the basketball to the front court.

In less than a second before the end of the Cavaliers' offense, the Wizards have begun to counterattack!

The super-fast offensive tempo caught the Cavaliers off guard, but Cavaliers head coach Blatche couldn't help but get up from his seat on the sidelines.

"Watch defensive! Bring up the speed and see Curry to death! ”

This season, or the past few seasons, the league's most lethal and most threatening is the Wizards' unparalleled fast break and Curry's incomparably accurate three-point shot.

Blatche obviously worked the tactical characteristics of the Wizards, on the one hand, Irving, who was back on defense, stuck to Curry, and didn't give you a three-point shot even if he let you into the interior.

The rest of the Cavaliers players have a clear division of labor and stand in some key positions, although they are not man-markers, but they cut off all of Curry's passing routes.

In this case, if Curry stops and looks for opportunities again, then he will miss a good opportunity to break fast, if he doesn't stop and rush all the way to the basket, although he can also score, but the efficiency and success rate will inevitably be affected.

......

It was supposed to be like this, however, when will Ku Ritian reason with you?

"Brush!"

Almost facing Irving's defense, at a position about one step away from the three-point line, Curry hit a three-point jumper!
