Chapter 275: The Final Candidate for the Training Camp

Wang Xiao did not accept any interview invitations, he is no longer a little-known coach a few years ago, after people achieve success, remember not to swell.

When he was in the United States, he could do whatever he wanted in front of the American media, but he had to be restrained and cautious at home, because once some words were not said appropriately, the impact at home would be much greater than abroad.

Interviews can easily be taken out of context by journalists with ulterior motives, and the best way to prevent this potential threat is through 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 the questions of some Chinese fans.

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

This time is different from last year, because of the NBA shutdown last year, Wang Xiao had plenty of time to investigate, and this time the NBA will return to the normal format, the preseason will start in early October, and Wang Xiao must return to the team in mid-September to prepare for the start of the new season.

As the head coach of the Wizards, Wang Xiao's first priority is to bring the Wizards' results well.

……

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

At the end of August, he had already locked in 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 and Wang Meng last year.

Like Cheng Jie, there are only a few people who can make their own decisions and sign contracts, and this kind of important thing must be decided after careful consideration by the family, and this year, this contract is much more difficult to sign than last year.

Everyone is afraid of having jade beads in front of them.

Cheng Jie and Wang Meng have now become the hottest existence in the new generation of Chinese basketball, although they only played a U17 World Youth Championship on behalf of the national youth team, but their performance on the court is too dazzling compared with other national youth team teammates, don't think about it, these two will definitely become basketball stars in the future, even if they can't reach the height of Da Yao, they will definitely not lose to Yi Jianlian!

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

……

When Wang Xiao selected the candidate and talked to 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 is the reasonableness of Wang Xiao's contract.

A contract with a term of 20 years and liquidated damages of up to 1 billion yuan is too risky, and Wang Xiao's request to extract 30% of their income is even more unacceptable to them.

Taking Yi Jianlian's salary as a reference, the annual salary of the contract signed by Yi Jianlian 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, which is already a sky-high price for many ordinary families, and this may only be a year's commission.

When the higher the player's future achievements, the higher the fee they have to pay Wang Xiao, referring to the Wizards players that Wang Xiao is coaching now, even the substitute player Beverley has received a contract with an annual salary of 8 million, which is obviously not cost-effective.

So soon, the family members of these trainees who had been in contact with Wang Xiao used various methods to get in touch with Wang Xiao and expressed their dissatisfaction with this contract, hoping that Wang Xiao could make changes and adjustments to the contract, reduce the number of years or reduce the commission ratio.

In this case, Wang Xiao did not have half a sentence of nonsense and passed directly.

These people don't know that it is not these people who were selected by Wang Xiao who can succeed, but the one who finally signed the contract with Wang Xiao.

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

……

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

In fact, those who tried to bargain, when they found out that Wang Xiao had a tough attitude, there were also compromises, but Wang Xiao did not give them another chance.

There is only one growth template card, but there are several qualified trainees, and their own conditions are almost the same, how can Wang Xiao choose in this case?

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

The only thing that didn't raise any objections was that he looked at the most pleasing ......

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

This is a very energetic child, his personality is a bit similar to Wang Meng, but he is more passionate than Wang Meng, and he is not afraid of confrontation on the court, even in the face of stronger players than him, which is also the direct reason why Wang Xiao values him.

If an interior player is afraid of physical confrontation, what is the difference between him and 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 Maddie, 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 I'm afraid your dream will have to change a little." ”

“?”

Hao Peng was slightly stunned, and looked at Wang Xiao with some confusion.

Wang Xiao just smiled and didn't continue.

"That...... Instructor. ”

Hao Peng said with some meaning: "Although my parents agreed with me to sign the contract, they are still a little uneasy, and want to see in person, they have already taken the train to the capital, and they can get to the ...... in one day."

This is a very normal thing, and Wang Meng was the same last year, after all, it is indispensable to guard against people, this is human nature.

"Okay, then wait until your family comes before signing the contract."

After sending Hao Peng away, Wang Xiao summoned the system.

He had hesitated in the two interior positions, center and power forward.

The future league will be the era of small ball, and the big forwards with strong mobility and shooting ability will obviously be more like a fish in water than the traditional center.

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

Because Wang Xiao can hardly imagine what kind of excellent performance a traditional center like O'Neal can have in the face of small-ball tactics, frequent rotation and running, and blocking and dismantling.
