Chapter 50: Turning Point
The reason why Harvard is so strong in the new season that it shocked the entire NCAA is that Jeremy Lin, Plain and Dunn have a lot of credit for forming the iron lock Yokoe.
But in fact, it is Wang Xiao's system that plays a real decisive role.
Since the school opened and the school team resumed training, Wang Xiao's training module has been used uninterrupted until all the victory points are used up.
And in the past six months, in addition to an S-level growth template card, Wang Xiao has also drawn a lot of things, although many of them are messy and useless things, but occasionally there are times when luck bursts.
For example, in August, Wang Xiao, who had already used up the victory value won last season, actually drew a thousand victory points by lottery.
With a lot of training skills, it is difficult for Harvard not to be strong.
And with the start of the new season, another round of winning streak unfolded, and the victory value continued to accumulate again.
However, this time, Wang Xiao did not unreservedly use all the victory points to strengthen the daily training of Harvard players.
The current strength of the team is already very strong in Wang Xiao's opinion, even if it is not difficult to win the NCAA Championship, and it is not beneficial for Wang Xiao to continue to make them stronger.
It's better to accumulate all the victory points and use them after you go to the NBA.
With Harvard's undoubted big wins, Wang Xiao's fame in the United States is also getting bigger and bigger, coupled with the performance of Durant and Auden in the sky and on the ground, more and more NBA teams have begun to pay attention to Wang Xiao, a coach full of magic.
During this time, several NBA teams have tentatively approached Wang Xiao.
Without exception, they all showed that they wanted to hire Wang Xiao as the head coach of the team.
However, when Wang Xiao proposed to make a trade decision for the team, these teams all backed down without exception.
The right to trade is the lifeblood of an NBA team, and it is also the biggest right of the team's general manager.
In the NBA, with the exception of the most famous coaches, the head coaches of most teams have no authority to trade their players.
Although Wang Xiao's meaning is obvious, that is, he told them very bluntly that his vision is unique, and the people selected will be very good players, but still no team is willing to nod and agree to such a request.
Wang Xiao can't do anything about this situation, because he can't back down on this issue.
Although he inherited another memory of his own and has certain attainments in coaching and tactics, Wang Xiao knows very well that there is still a big gap between him and those famous coaches in the NBA, and these gaps cannot be caught up by reading books and learning, but the gap in experience is the experience accumulated through thousands of games.
If Wang Xiao wants to gain a firm foothold in the NBA and wrestle with those famous coaches, he can only rely on the player's own performance before he has accumulated experience.
Therefore, Wang Xiao must firmly grasp the right to decide on the transaction, and decide by himself what players to use and what players to discard.
This is like the 07 draft, if Wang Xiao hadn't secretly tampered with the top pick, even if he said it, the Trail Blazers would never have given up on Oden to choose Durant.
Wang Xiao refused to back down, and those teams that wanted Wang Xiao to coach did not back down, and the situation was stalemate for a while.
But at this time, things suddenly took a turn for the better......
The Washington Wizards, it's a team full of ups and downs.
Most of the time, this team is playing the role of underdog.
And this season, the Wizards are undoubtedly one of the most unsuccessful of the thirty teams.
In the 07-08 season, injuries plagued the Wizards throughout the season. Arenas missed 68 games due to an ongoing knee injury in his left knee and subsequent microfracture surgery. Also Etan. Thomas missed the entire season after undergoing heart surgery. Despite these injuries, the Wizards were able to finish the season in second place in the division and make the playoffs for the fourth straight year.
But after surviving the 07-08 season, the arrival of the new season did not make the situation any better.
Gilbert. Arenas underwent his third knee surgery, and the team's main interior lineman Brandon Brownon underwent surgery. Heywood also underwent surgery on his right wrist, losing 10 of his first 11 games, and the poor record went straight to the team's head coach Eddie Eddie. Jordan gets out of class.
Ed, who can replace him as head coach. Tapscot also failed to improve the team's record.
As of December 28, 2008, the Wizards have a record of 5 wins and 24 losses, ranking first from the bottom in the East, and have basically announced that they are out of the playoffs early.
The poor record has led everyone from the boss down to everyone on the staff to think that they need someone who can break the status quo.
Then, they locked their eyes on Wang Xiao.
A legendary coach who has turned the bottom team of the Ivy League into championship favorites in a month and a half may help the Wizards change the current embarrassing status quo.
However, when they contacted Wang Xiao and learned of Wang Xiao's request, like other teams, they were a little hesitant.
But after thinking about it for a few days, the general manager of the Wizards asked Wang Xiao a question.
"If you were a Wizards head coach and you were given the right to trade, what would you do?"
Hearing this question, Wang Xiao said without hesitation: "Trade Arenas." ”
Wang Xiao's answer almost didn't choke the Wizards head coach to death, he felt that it was not unreasonable for several NBA teams to finally give up Wang Xiao before, and this girl had to trade the team's star in the future, which was too messy.
The current Arenas is not Arenas who was banned after breaking out of the gun door in 10 years, but the strongest second-round show in history, the famous general!
Although these two seasons have been plagued by injuries, Arenas is still in his playing years, and it is simply nonsense to trade such an All-Star player!
Of course, the general manager of the Wizards didn't know that Arenas was suspended after he blew up the gun-to-door incident, and he only averaged 8 points per game after being traded by the Wizards to the Magic.
At present, there are only 32 games left before the outbreak of Arenas' gun-toting incident. (Arenas reimbursed for the 08-09 season, played 32 games after returning in 10 years and then scared his teammates with guns.) )
"If you trade Arenas, who do you want to trade him for?" The general manager of the Wizards held back for a long time before he said such a question.
In this regard, Wang Xiao smiled slightly.
"No comment."
Just kidding, this is Wang Xiao's secret, if he says it now, the wizards don't use themselves afterwards, hire another coach, and then trade Arenas according to their own ideas, wouldn't it be a big loss?
Wang Xiao will never do anything that harms himself and others.
