The city to which the Wizards belong is Washington, D.C., the capital of the United States, and the White House, where the President of the United States lives, is located at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW in Washington, D.C.

However, although it is the capital of the United States, the city is far less prosperous than the big cities of New York and Los Angeles.

The reason is simple, no high-rise buildings are allowed here, and all architectural styles must be clear at a glance in case terrorists infiltrate and murder high-ranking members of the country.

There are less than a million people in the whole of Washington, D.C., and the market for basketball games is not particularly good, and the Wizards' home games are often not even full of seats.

However, in 02, as one of the team's investors, Jordan announced his comeback to join the Wizards in order to get more attention from the Wizards.

The effect of this move by the basketball god is really outstanding, and the originally unknown Wizards instantly became a team of global attention, although Jordan's comeback did not bring much improvement to the Wizards' record, but it doubled the number of Wizards' fans.

Then the Wizards management team acquired Arenas through a trade, and the latter showed great strength as the strongest second-round pick in history, reaching the playoffs for four consecutive years.

Unfortunately, the good times always go by very quickly, and Arenas has been injured for two consecutive seasons, and this season the Wizards finally collapsed, struggling in the quagmire at the bottom of the East.

Wang Xiao knew that in this situation, the wizards contacted what they wanted, so he showed extremely strong self-confidence from the beginning.

That's right, a lot of self-confidence.

The first moment the wizard boss and general manager saw Wang Xiao, such a feeling appeared in their minds.

Wang Xiao, who was sitting in front of them, was wearing a black straight suit, with a strong self-confidence in his gestures, and he didn't have any restraint at all in the face of the two supreme members of the Wizards team.

"Hello Wang Xiao, I'm glad you have been invited to join us." Glenfield, the team's general manager, said first. "We all know about your experiences, including your seven-year career as an assistant coach in the NBA and NBDL, a week as head coach with the Portland Trail Blazers, and amazing performances at Harvard......

"However, considering that you are only 30 years old after all, and you are still a Chinese, we are sorry that we have to wonder if you have the ability to coach an NBA team."

Grenfield's tone was very kind, but Wang Xiao keenly felt that his words seemed to be a little aggressive, it seemed that the general manager didn't have a good impression of him......

But also, Wang Xiao came here not only to apply for the job of the head coach of the Wizards, but also to ask for the right to decide on the trade, which is obviously to compete with Glenfeld for a job, and a normal person will be hostile to Wang Xiao.

"Sir, first of all, age has nothing to do with ability, and secondly, ability has nothing to do with race and skin color."

Wang Xiao said with a smile.

A nameless fire suddenly rose in Grenfield's heart.

What do you mean by that, boy?

"So, you think you're good enough to be the head coach of the Wizards?"

Grunfield couldn't help but ask.

"Of course."

Wang Xiao's unhesitant answer made Grenfield stunned.

But then, he couldn't help but sneer.

"Mr. Wang, you must know that the Wizards are an NBA team, and they have reached the playoffs for four consecutive years, and you have never had any experience coaching an NBA team before, don't you need to think about saying such things rashly?"

"Whew......" Wang Xiao exhaled and did not look at Grenfield, but at the team owner sitting in the right seat.

"No offense, but I'm a little curious, you came to me...... Are you going to have a debate with me? ”

"You ?!!" Grenfield was furious.

But before he could make the next move, the owner of the team finally spoke.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Wang Xiao, Ernie has been with the Wizards for more than ten years, and he has a deep affection for this team, and he hopes that the team can get better, so he is demanding on the head coach."

"However, the problem he said before is indeed what I am concerned about, as you said, ability has nothing to do with age, race and skin color, but in the entire history of the NBA, there has never been a situation where a young man in his early 30s has been a head coach......

It means the same thing, but it comes out of the mouth of the Wizards owner and it's much more pleasant than Grenfield.

Wang Xiao thought for a moment, and then said: "Sir, I'm sorry I can't prove this with words, if you want to prove whether what I said is true, you can only rely on trying, but ......"

Wang Xiao paused slightly, "If I become the head coach of the Wizards, within a year, I can bring the team back to the playoffs, three years, only three years, I can train the Wizards into a championship-contending team...... In five years, you will win the championship! ”

Wang Xiao's tone was flat, but the strong confidence seemed to be like substance, rushing towards the two people in front of him.

One year to return to the playoffs, three years to be a championship team, five years to win the championship?

The Wizards' boss couldn't help but glance at Glenfield.

Although he doesn't know much about the NBA, he still knows some basic things, such as the difficulty of winning a championship.

There is only one championship trophy in the history of the Washington Wizards, and it was in 1977, more than 30 years ago!

Now a hairy kid actually said in front of them that the Wizards could win a championship in five years?

Not to mention the new owner of the team, who has only been in charge for less than a month, even Grenfield, who has been the general manager for more than ten years, has never seen such a confident coach...... This can no longer be described as self-confidence, and even a little arrogant!

But when he looked at the boss, Grunfield was surprised to find that there was a look of intention in the boss's eyes!

……

Wang Xiao sat on the sofa and took a sip of coffee, looking unhurried.

Actually, he still has some expectations.

After the interview, he was invited to the meeting room to wait for the results, and the management team still needed to discuss it before deciding whether to officially hire Wang Xiao.

But like Grunfield, he had just seen the excitement in the eyes of the team owner.

"It should be eight or nine and ten......"

While thinking like this in his heart, Wang Xiao also felt a little emotional.

It's been more than a year before I know it.

When he first crossed over here, he was the head coach of the Portland Trail Blazers, and was fired on the spot by the owner of the Trail Blazers for selecting Durant in the draft.

And now, he is only one step away from returning to the NBA, and soon, he will announce to the NBA that he is back!
