Chapter 349: Wesley's Invitation
Nikolai. Jokic can be regarded as a typical figure for a future center.
Offensively, he can play inside and out, his footwork is not inferior to that of an outside player, his defensive ability is also very good, and most importantly, as a center, Jokic's passing ability is not inferior to that of a center.
It's fair to say that off the court, there's nothing Jokic can't do.
Of course, after blowing so much, the most important point is that Jokic is cheap enough.
As a second-round pick, it doesn't cost anything to take him.
This alone is something that no other first-round player can match.
However, the Wizards' lineup is close to perfect, and Gobert, who is known for his defense, is more suitable for the team than Jokic, after all, in the Wizards, the center position is the least important of the four positions, and more often than not, it is just a blue-collar who acts as a protective frame.
And Jokic, a center who needs a certain amount of ball, does not have a good space to play in the Wizards.
Wang Xiao thought, it is better to simply let the Bucks cut off Jokic, anyway, Embiid will not be able to play until the 16-17 season, Jokic can also fill the gap in the interior for the Bucks during this period, and Embiid is also a spatial interior player, with the same comprehensive skills inside and out, even if the two are on the court at the same time, there will be no conflict in position.
At that time, the Bucks will have Antetokounmpo, Embiid, and Jokic, who will be the opposite of the Wizards and the five dead.
Thinking of this, Wang Xiao even looked forward to what kind of terrifying existence this lineup would become in the alliance in the next few years.
……
The Bucks won the No. 1 pick, which gave Wesley the first pick. Adhans is very happy, the NBA champion arrived in the first year after the acquisition of the team, which is definitely a good thing for the team's rebuilding and rise, and it seems that it is a very wise decision to let his daughter go to the stage to draw lottery, and it really brought him good luck.
What Wesley didn't know was that it wasn't the good fortune that his daughter had brought with him, but the Cavaliers owner's son, who had better luck than her daughter, didn't make it to the stage.
As the biggest bug in the NBA lottery ceremony, the Cavaliers owner's son won three first-round picks for the team in four years in another time and space, which is unique in the entire NBA history.
Wang Xiao seriously doubted that the son of the Knight boss also opened some cheats, after all, two of the three champions of the Cavaliers were drawn at that time, and the probability of winning was only 2.8% and 1.7%, and this luck to buy welfare lottery tickets is absolutely sure to make money......
"Mr. Wang, it's over in a while, let's go out for dinner together."
After smiling and congratulating the other management around him, Wesley invited Wang Xiao, who was not far away.
Wang Xiao thought for a moment, then nodded.
"Okay."
The drunkard didn't mean to drink, and Wesley's invitation to Wang Xiao to eat was definitely not as simple as a simple meal.
At present, the Bucks have changed their owners and got the top pick, which can be said to be a waste of time.
And as a veteran fan, Wesley is well aware that a competent manager is essential for a team to succeed.
In today's alliance, who is better than Wang Xiao?
With two consecutive championships in hand, and not far from establishing a dynasty with a third crown, the ability to dig out and develop rookies is unmatched, and he is undoubtedly the most suitable head coach for the Bucks.
Wesley is just trying, and in his opinion, there is no reason for Wang Xiao to leave the Wizards, after all, the Wizards are currently strong and can continue to dominate the league in the next few years.
Unless they're sick in the head, who would leave the Wizards at this time and risk ruining themselves to coach a team that is at the bottom of the league?
Wesley is ready to make a heavy profit, and try to see if he can tempt Wang Xiao.
……
After the draft, Wesley. Johnson & Mallory. Johnson left after a brief interview.
"Mr. Wang Xiao, try the grilled foie gras here, this French restaurant is very authentic, we often come here."
Wesley enthusiastically recommended his signature food to Wang Xiao, but Wang Xiao was not particularly interested in French food, and grew up in China, which made Wang Xiao more accustomed to Chinese food.
"Mr. Wesley, I don't think you're just going to treat me to a meal, are you?"
After a shallow taste, Wang Xiao looked at Wesley with a smile.
"That's right." Wesley nodded, "I invited you to dinner this time, on the one hand, to thank you for taking care of my daughter, and on the other hand, as the majority shareholder of the Bucks, I want to invite you to coach the Milwaukee Bucks." ”
"Really?" Before Wang Xiao could speak, Ma Luoli's eyes lit up, and she looked at her father expectantly, "Are we going to let Wang be the head coach?" That's great! ”
"Of course." Wesley smiled and said, "As long as Wang Ken nods and agrees." ”
Hearing her father's words, Ma Luoli immediately looked at Wang Xiao, her big watery eyes full of anticipation.
"You'll agree, won't you, Wang?"
"This ......" Wang Xiao couldn't help but smile bitterly.
He could guess some of Wesley's intentions, but he didn't expect the other party to express them so bluntly.
Wang Xiao does have the idea of coaching the Bucks, but it is definitely not now, the Bucks at this time are still in the rebuilding stage, and in addition to the letter brother Antetokounmpo who has not yet grown up, the only thing that is valuable is this year's champion sign.
In Wang Xiao's opinion, there is not much difference between the top pick and the top spot, because Embiid has a history of injuries and is not the favorite in itself, and even the third pick can get him.
Embiid has not been able to become an instant force in the past two years, and even if Jokic is obtained, it is still difficult for the overall strength of the Bucks to improve in the short term.
The current Wizards team has been cultivated by Wang Xiao with a lot of effort over the years, and has invested a lot of training module points to help this team grow and run-in.
Even if there will be a large number of players leaving the team this summer, such as Thomas Jr. and Chandler, who are out of contract. Parsons et al......
But people like Curry, George, Thompson and Leonard are still here to stay, and they're going to get stronger, and the Wizards still have a roster depth that's hard to match across the league.
Wang Xiao has no reason to give away this invincible division and let other head coaches win various honors and championships.
Therefore, Wang Xiao is more inclined to continue to win a few more championships with the Wizards, and wait until the players on the Bucks' side gradually grow up and parachute in, and directly and seamlessly hand over.
Seeing Wang Xiao's expression, Wesley. Adnams knew it was bad, and as a successful businessman, he had a knack for reading words.
"Wang, we can give you the maximum rights on the field, whether it is the transaction and signing of players or coaches, the team management will not have any questions, in addition, we can also offer you an annual salary of 15 million! Please think about it. ”
