Wang Xiao's return to China this time, like the previous times, was very low-key.

As an NBA head coach, Wang Xiao's vacation time is much tighter than before, and even if Wang Xiao hadn't handed over the summer league work to the assistant coach, then Wang Xiao's vacation would have been even less.

The summer league is mainly a stage for coaches to test the level of rookie players, and it is not particularly meaningful for Wang Xiao, a prescient traverser.

The reason why I participated in person last year was because the Wizards at that time were a team with half of the rookie players, and Wang Xiao had to use the training system more to strengthen the strength of rookies such as Curry and Harden.

Once Wang Xiao leaves the team, the training system will no longer take effect.

Now that the Wizards have a full roster and the original goal has been achieved, there is no need to work overtime specifically for summer league.

Back at home, Wang Xiao's favorite thing is to stay at home.

Playing in the NBA, I have to go out to play away from home almost every three or four days, and I am on the go for most of the year.

Now that he can finally calm down, Wang Xiao is like staying at home, playing games and watching TV on the Internet every day, and his life is not too comfortable.

It's just that during the vacation, Wang Xiao still has to endure a lot of things, the first of which is the nagging of his parents.

"Xiaoxiao, you see that you are not young anymore, you will be running for 33 after the New Year, and it is not good to be single like this, it's time to find a partner to marry."

As long as she is free, Wang Xiao's mother will nag a few words.

"You're so famous now, you can still make millions of dollars a year, many girls should like you like this, you seize the opportunity! It's really not good to find a foreign girl in the United States. ”

At this time, Wang Xiao's father would always interject on the side: "If you want to find a foreign girl, you can only find a white person, don't give your father and me a black daughter-in-law, your father and I can't stand the aesthetics." ”

Wang Xiao sweated violently, and then fled.

Parents are anxious Wang Xiao understands very well, there are many people in their thirties who are not married in China, it doesn't seem to be very strange, but none of these people's parents are not in a hurry, after all, according to the traditional values of their generation, marriage and having children are the most important.

But Wang Xiao feels that feelings need some fate, at least he hasn't met a girl who makes him feel excited, so he can't be in a hurry.

In addition to the various nagging of his parents, the phone calls from the media also made Wang Xiao very annoying.

Although returning to China is very low-key, it does not mean that no one knows, especially Wang Xiao is now in China, and he is already a small celebrity.

Led the Wizards to a second-best finish in the regular season and a playoff run to the Eastern Conference Finals.

Such an achievement has made Wang Xiao have been touted to the sky by the domestic media.

"Asia's No. 1 Basketball Coach!"

Such a title is not an exaggeration for Wang Xiao, it is just a statement of reality.

After all, Wang Xiao is the first Asian in history to serve as a head coach in the NBA, and he has created such a good record.

So when the news of Wang Xiao's return to China was immediately dug up and published by the media.

Subsequently, Wang Xiao received calls from many media, basically wanting to invite Wang Xiao to do an exclusive interview or something.

Wang Xiao, who was on vacation, refused all without hesitation.

If it had been two years ago, he would have been very excited about it and said yes because it was the best way to expand his fame.

But now it's different.

He has now become the head coach of an NBA team, and his status is no longer determined by fame or something, but by achievements.

As long as he has enough grades, he can survive in the NBA.

More importantly, Wang Xiao knows very well that the vast majority of media interviewing him will probably confirm a problem with him.

Do you have the opportunity to coach the national team?

With Wang Xiao's success in the NBA, more and more fans have begun to pay attention to this topic.

The 12-year London Olympics is coming, and Wang Xiao's birth makes people look forward to it.

They have Da Yao, Yi Jianlian, if there is another NBA-level coach, can they break the best results in the history of the Chinese men's basketball team at the London Olympics?

In the eyes of many, 12 years will be the best chance for the national team to make history.

Because if nothing else, 12 years will also be the last Olympics that Da Yao will participate in.

By the time he is 16 years old, Da Yao will be 36 years old, and I am afraid it will be difficult to maintain his peak competitive condition.

Wang Xiao knew what the Chinese fans were thinking, but these fans were doomed to disappointment.

Not to mention the 16 Olympics, even the 12 Olympics, Da Yao will not play, because his body can no longer support him for high-intensity physical confrontation.

In the 09-10 season, Da Yao was reimbursed for the season due to injury, and when he returned in the 10-11 season, only 5 games later, he was reimbursed for the season due to a stress fracture in the middle of the ankle.

Subsequently, in July 11, Da Yao officially announced his retirement and ended his career.

Wang Xiao knew that Da Yao would be injured quickly after his comeback next season, but even if he knew, it was useless.

He can remind Da Yao in advance to be cautious and not to play early before the injury is healed.

But Da Yao's injury, in the final analysis, is because his fragile ankle cannot support his huge body for high-intensity exercise.

Even if he wasn't injured during that time period, as long as Da Yao still played professional basketball and continued to appear on the court, such a thing would still happen sooner or later, and it wouldn't be too long.

Without Da Yao, at the 12 London Olympics, the Chinese men's basketball team suffered a heavy defeat, and was defeated in the group stage without a win.

Even Wang Xiao is powerless to reverse this situation.

In a previous interview at All-Star Weekend, he specifically revealed his intention to coach the national team, but at the same time put forward his own conditions.

Wang Xiao can basically be sure that it is impossible for the Basketball Association to agree to such conditions, so the possibility of him coaching the national team is about zero.

Therefore, when he thought that reporters were going to ask questions about this, Wang Xiao didn't really want to answer.

The time is not yet ripe.

……

After resting at home for nearly two months, Wang Xiao stepped back on the plane to the United States.

It's September 2010 and the teams are starting to prepare for the new season.

Compared to Wang Xiao's new arrival in the 09-10 season, when he was alone with the responsibility of bringing the Wizards back to the playoffs, the preparation for the new season is simpler and easier.

But the so-called ease is only corresponding.

Wang Xiao's commitment to the outside world has been completed, and he even exceeded his goal and led the team to the Eastern Conference Finals.

But the small goal that Wang Xiao set for himself has just begun!

It has been nearly two months since the formation of the Heat Big Three, but the impact of the Big Three has not subsided.

The Big Three of the Heat are very different from the Big Three formed by the Celtics in 07, first of all, in terms of age, the Big Three formed by the Celtics in 07, Garnett is 31 years old, Ray Allen is 32 years old, Pierce is 30 years old, and the average age of the three is 31 years old, basically at the end of the peak of their careers.

But among the Heat's Big Three, James is 26 years old, Wade is 28 years old, and Bosh is 26 years old, with an average age of 26.67 years old, and they are at their peak or even on the rise.

The two sides are completely incomparable in terms of strength and future development!
