As the general manager of a team, Morey's attitude is still very good, at least much better than the general manager of the Trailblazers that Wang Xiao has contacted before.

After some greetings, Morey told Wang Xiao Rocket's wishes very directly and clearly.

"Assistant coach?"

Wang Xiao listened to Morey's words and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Mr. Wang Xiao, I know that you want to get a job as a general manager in the NBA, but you must know that the 30 teams in the NBA can be said to be the top teams in the world, and if you want to be the head coach in these teams, you must also be the top coach in the world." Morey said sincerely: "Although you have created a miracle in the NCAA, it does not mean that you have entered the ranks of the world's top coaches, you still need time and resume to prove yourself." ”

"I've seen all the videos of Harvard's games in the NCAA Tournament, and I've been there to watch them in the finals, and I think your team has shown pretty good defensive ability in the game, and if you're willing to be the Rockets' defensive coach, I can promise that I'll prioritize you as the team's head coach when Adelman's tenure ends."

In all fairness, what Morey said was to the point and true.

In the final analysis, Wang Xiao is too young on the one hand, only 30 years old, and there has never been such a young NBA head coach in history, so he will hesitate to change to any team.

On the other hand, Wang Xiao's status as a Chinese is also a big obstacle, and similarly, there has never been a precedent in history for a Chinese to coach an NBA team.

To sum up, Morey can give Wang Xiao a job as an assistant coach and promise to give priority to Wang Xiao to replace Adelman, which is already the slightest situation in the league that can face up to Wang Xiao's ability.

However, Wang Xiao still shook his head. "I'm sorry, I wouldn't be thinking about any assistant coach work."

Adelman was out of class at the Rockets, and that was 11 years later, and let Wang Xiao be an assistant coach for three years? How can it be?

And just the existence of the system, Wang Xiao will never become an assistant coach of any team.

The function of the system can only take effect when Wang Xiao is the head coach of the team.

"Really? That's a shame. ”

A look of disappointment flashed across Morey's face.

He is really optimistic about Wang Xiao and his potential, but although he is the general manager of the Rockets, he is not alone in many things about the Rockets, especially major events such as the change of coach that affect the entire team.

That was the end of the conversation between the two sides.

When he came out of the rocket, Wang Xiao was not surprised by this result.

Although the Rockets have fallen in the first round of the playoffs in the past two years, there is no doubt that the current Rockets are also one of the powerhouses in the league, and they have no reason to risk hiring themselves as the team's head coach.

"Assistant Coach ......" Wang Xiao smiled and shook his head.

If it was me who was desperate after last year's draft, I might have taken this job temporarily, but now, it's impossible!

……

In the summer of '08, a lot happened.

The Rockets shocked the league with a 22-game winning streak at the start of the year.

The Trail Blazers' No. 1 rookie Durant was named Rookie of the Year with an average of 18.8 points per game and an efficient scoring efficiency.

In the NBA Finals, the Celtics defeated the Lakers and lifted the 17th championship trophy in history.

After a season of great failure, the Seattle SuperSonics chose to abandon the city of Seattle and in Oklahoma City, there is an additional NBA team, the Oklahoma City Thunder. (Oden was reimbursed for the season, Ray Allen and other stars were traded, and the team only got 14 wins all season)

After losing the 2002 World Championships, the 2004 Olympics, and the 2006 World Championships, the U.S. men's basketball team is poised to regain the lost world title!

At this time, Wang Xiao had returned to Harvard and signed a one-year contract extension with Harvard.

Wang Xiao was still a little too naïve to think about it.

With the exception of the Rockets, few teams have offered him an olive branch this summer.

As Morey said, there are only 30 teams in the NBA, and all 30 coaches are some of the best basketball coaches in the world.

Although Wang Xiao has created a near-miracle record at Harvard, it is far from the level that makes NBA teams excited.

Regarding this situation, Wang Xiao seemed very calm.

This is something that has no choice, Wang Xiao has a system, he can open the plug-in anytime and anywhere, and he has the advantage of being a traverser with foresight. But no one else knows these things! It is impossible for him to publicize it everywhere and shout that Lao Tzu is hanging, and you don't choose me are all "wise".

Think about it from another perspective, if Wang Xiao is the head coach of a team, he may not have the courage to hire such a young Chinese basketball coach.

I can only say that the time has not come.

So Wang Xiao renewed his contract with Harvard, this time, it was also a one-year contract, but the price was completely different from last year.

Wang Xiao's salary not only increased from 100,000 a year to 1.5 million a year, but also added a special clause at the end of the contract - if an NBA team invites Wang Xiao to coach, he can leave Harvard at any time without having to pay liquidated damages.

This is also the condition that Wang Xiao negotiated with Pat when he signed the contract.

The current Wang Xiao is no longer the Wang Xiao of a year ago, although the NBA team has not taken a fancy to him for the time being, but the major colleges and universities in the United States are salivating for this miracle coach.

In order to keep Wang Xiao, Pat could only nod and agree to Wang Xiao's requests.

The legendary coach stayed at Harvard, and as soon as the news was announced, the whole Harvard immediately rejoiced.

Jeremy Lin and other players were also very excited.

"Next season, our goal is to win the championship!"

When Harvard shouted such a slogan, no one dared to laugh at the inadequacy of this Ivy League team.

Because if it weren't for the injury of the team's main player Plain, it is likely that they would have lifted the NCAA championship trophy this year!

Now that Harvard has retained its main lineup and legendary coach Wang Xiao has also announced his return, this team is undoubtedly one of the favorites to win the championship.

And the word "one" in one of the favorites to win the championship has been deleted from Wang Xiao's dictionary when he drew the third growth template card.

"Draw an S-class growth template card."

When the monthly routine turned the lotto wheel, Wang Xiao saw such a line of words.

S-Class Growth Template Card!

Wang Xiao looked at these lines and couldn't help but burst into tears.

It's been a whole year! This is the first time he has seen an S-class growth template card in the lottery! Even, this is the second time in a year that he has drawn a growth template card!
