Chapter Ninety-Seven: Will You Coach the National Team?

During the four-day All-Star Weekend, all Wang Xiao really needs to participate in is the last day of the All-Star Game, and the rest of the time he can move freely, with the stars, and it doesn't hurt to enjoy the charm of Dallas alone.

Wang Xiao naturally chose the latter, he is not a person who likes to be lively, compared to running around with a group of people noisily, it is not bad to wander around leisurely by himself.

Wang Xiao has also been to Dallas many times before, but basically he plays with the team, and there are not many opportunities to walk around, but this time he finally has a chance.

But unexpectedly, when returning to the hotel, Wang Xiao actually met a reporter from Huaxia.

"You...... Hello, are you Mr. Wang Xiao? ”

After a slightly nervous voice sounded beside him, Wang Xiao turned his head to look and found two young men with Asian faces beside him.

The two men, a man and a woman, looked to be in their early twenties, the man carried a large video camera, and the woman had a delicate face and held a microphone.

"Wang Xiao? Who is Wang Xiao? Wang Xiao frowned slightly, and asked suspiciously in English.

"Huh?"

The girl was slightly stunned when she heard this, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm sorry we recognized the wrong person." ”

But the man behind her couldn't help but say, "No, I also saw a photo of Wang Xiao yesterday, and he looks exactly like him." ”

The girl was dumbfounded all of a sudden, but Wang Xiao couldn't help laughing.

"Okay, I'm Wang Xiao."

After saying this sentence in Chinese, Wang Xiao found that the two looked at him a little strangely.

In fact, Wang Xiao just saw that these two people were a little nervous, especially the nervous appearance of the beautiful girl, and he couldn't help but want to make a little joke.

But Wang Xiao's behavior surprised both of them very much.

They couldn't imagine that Wang Xiao, who is so mysterious in China, is such a person.

"What kind of media are you from, right? Are you going to interview me? Wang Xiao looked at the two and asked.

The girl nodded hurriedly.

"We are reporters from the sports column of Huaxia.com, and we would like to interview you with a few questions."

It turned out to be an online reporter, no wonder he was so young.

In the past two years, the Internet has developed rapidly, and more and more portals have a good background, which is also forming a huge impact on traditional media.

Wang Xiao, from 2019, is well aware of the influence of online media in the future.

"Okay."

……

In fact, in China, although Wang Xiao is not a household name, he can be regarded as a little famous.

China's first NBA head coach, Da Yao has publicly supported and is currently leading the Wizards to second place in the East.

You must know that Da Yao has played in the Rockets for 7 years, and his best result is only fifth in the West, and Wang Xiao easily led a team that finished at the bottom last year to second in the East, which is indeed quite amazing.

The girl asked Wang Xiao several questions, such as how to lead the Wizards team to achieve such good results, as a Chinese coach, what kind of feelings do you have as the head coach of the All-Star East, and then you will face the playoffs soon, and what kind of results will you achieve in the playoffs.

But in the end, the girl's last question made Wang Xiao slightly stunned.

"Coach Wang, on the Internet, there are many fans calling for you to coach the Huaxia men's basketball team and lead the Huaxia men's basketball team to achieve good results in the London Olympics in 12 years, what do you think about this? Would you consider coaching the Chinese men's basketball team? ”

Chinese Men's Basketball ......

Wang Xiao hesitated.

As a Chinese, as a basketball enthusiast, who doesn't want the Chinese men's basketball team to rise?

In the future, since the Chinese men's basketball team achieved the quarterfinals in 08, it has been sinking in the Olympic Games.

The group stage of the London Olympics in 12 was eliminated by defeat, and the Rio Olympics in 16 also ended in a dismal defeat.

Without the support of Da Yao, the Chinese men's basketball team is completely unable to compete with world-class teams.

Wang Xiao at that time also scolded and was indignant because the Chinese men's basketball team had not won a single victory in two consecutive Olympic Games.

But when he crossed back in time and started thinking about things as a manager, he knew it wasn't that simple.

Although the name of the head coach is big, when it comes to the national team, many things are not clear.

After a moment of silence, Wang Xiao said with a smile: "I don't know about this question, because I haven't received any invitations in this regard so far. ”

"But if the Basketball Association really asked you to be the coach of the national team, would you ever come back to coach the national team?"

The girl asked unrelentingly.

At this moment, Wang Xiao flashed a lot of coping methods in his mind, casually finding an excuse to prevaricate the past, divert the topic, or directly refuse to answer.

However, he was prepared to answer this question in a more radical way.

Wang Xiao didn't know what the result would be when he said this, but as a Chinese, a Chinese who wanted to make Chinese basketball better, he felt that he had the need and obligation to say this.

"Of course, if the Basketball Association formally sends me an invitation, I agree." Wang Xiao nodded and said loudly.

The girl couldn't help but glance at the man behind her, and both of them could see excitement in each other's eyes.

NBA coach Wang Xiao personally promised that as long as the Basketball Association invites him, he will coach the Chinese men's basketball team!

They can all imagine what kind of buzz this interview will cause once it is posted online.

But at this time, Wang Xiao's words suddenly changed.

"But...... My personal coaching style is quite special, if I am asked to coach a team, then the team from the selection of players to the daily training and other arrangements must be I have the final say, if you can't agree to my requests, I'm afraid there is no possibility of cooperation. ”

Wang Xiao's words made the two of them slightly stunned, but they didn't take it to heart.

Shouldn't the selection of players, the daily training and other arrangements be what the manager has to do? This is a normal request.

Obviously, these two are still too young, if they were some old reporters who have been in the sports circle for a long time, they would have understood what Wang Xiao meant by these words at this moment, but these two people didn't realize it.

After getting a very satisfactory answer, the two thanked Wang Xiao very gratefully, and then left excitedly.

Wang Xiao looked at the backs of the two of them in the distance, but took a deep breath.

He knows very well that after he said this, as long as the Basketball Association sees the relevant reports, he will definitely not send an invitation to him, but at least he has bought a possibility with his own hands, in case a few years and decades later, the Basketball Association will really agree to his request, so why not help the Chinese men's basketball team to reach the top of the world? The coach's career is very long, Wang Xiao can afford to wait, and he still has a systematic existence, what is impossible?
