"Shocked! Wang Xiao released a declaration that if I become the coach of the national team, I will bring the World Cup and Olympic champions to the Chinese men's basketball team! ”

"Whimsical or whimsical? After booking the NBA championship in advance, Wang Xiao once again booked the men's basketball World Cup champion and the Olympic champion in advance! ”

"Wang Xiao, a magical coach who has never lacked topics and controversies!"

……

As soon as the relevant report after the press conference was announced, the content of the interview did not make the fans feel satisfied, but became more and more curious and expectant.

Can Wang Xiao's wild words be fulfilled, and can he really lead the Chinese men's basketball team to the level of the world champion?

On the other hand, Wang Xiao dares to say so, does it seem that the previous Chinese men's basketball head coaches are very incompetent from the perspective of another corner?

However, what Wang Xiao wants is this effect.

The situation of the national team is very complicated, it is not just a matter of having the ability and ability, and if you accidentally say the wrong thing, you may offend some people, and the risk of offending the coach is much smaller than offending those high-level players of the basketball association.

Therefore, at yesterday's press conference, Wang Xiao avoided talking about the Basketball Association, and his evaluation of the members of the national team was also relatively positive, such as having great potential and working hard.

After some high-minded talk, the only person who may be offended is Deng Huade, the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team.

After all, Wang Xiao claims to be able to lead the team to win the championship, whether he can really do it or not, it will highlight the incompetence of Deng Huade, who lost the group stage of the London Olympics.

And offending Deng Huade, Wang Xiao doesn't care much.

As an NBA champion bishop, Wang Xiao's career resume is much more luxurious than Deng Ward. Riley dares to be evil, and will he be afraid of a Dunward?

Besides, Deng Huade is not in the mood to pay attention to these trivial "little things" now.

Deng Huade, the head coach of the Chinese men's basketball team who went to the London Olympics, resigned as the head coach of the national team after the team lost all the group stage.

In fact, even if Deng Huade does not resign, the Basketball Association will never tolerate a coach who led the team to a total defeat in the Olympic Games to continue to serve, and letting the other party resign voluntarily is just the last shred of face for the other party.

To put it bluntly, Deng Huade was swept away by the Basketball Association because of his poor team performance.

The most serious question facing Deng Huade now is where to go to work next.

As far as Wang Xiao knows, after resigning as the head coach of the national team in 12, Deng Huade once said that he was tired and wanted to rest for a while, and he did not serve in any professional basketball team for the next two years, and it was not until 14 years that he announced that he would coach the Iowa Energy team of the NBDL league.

……

Wang Xiao inevitably became the most talked-about figure in China again, many people admired Wang Xiao's courage and self-confidence, and many more people hated Wang Xiao's arrogance and unashamedness.

But in any case, when the rhetoric spread with the media publicity, the pressure came to the side of the basketball association.

Previously, the Basketball Association could explain why it did not send Wang Xiao a coaching invitation for various reasons, such as thinking that Wang Xiao was too young and talented, but such a heavy and experience-seeking position as the head coach of the national team still needs to be accumulated.

Another example is that Wang Xiao has always served in the NBA team, and can only rely on the NBA's short offseason to train for the national team, and cannot devote himself to training the Chinese men's basketball team.

Although these reasons are not convincing to the majority of Chinese fans, they can at least barely explain the past.

But now it's different.

The London Olympics fiasco put the basketball association under pressure, and they had to find some scapegoats to share the pressure, like Deng Huade, who was the biggest and fattest scapegoat.

Whether Deng Huade was expelled or resigned on his own initiative, it can be directly explained that the fiasco of the Chinese men's basketball team has a lot to do with the tactical arrangement of the head coach.

So the question is, the London Olympics fiasco was because the head coach was not good enough, so wouldn't it be enough to hire a head coach who thinks the coaching level is high enough?

At this time, Wang Xiao jumped out, and then patted his chest and bragged without flashing his tongue and swore solemnly: "I can lead the Chinese men's basketball team to win the Olympic championship!" ”

This is no longer something that the Basketball Association can unilaterally pretend to be deaf and dumb and fool the past!

However, letting Wang Xiao serve as the head coach of the national team is not a casual word, which involves a lot of things, Wang Xiao is not a foreigner, as a Chinese but does not belong to any faction, more importantly, the rights he asks for are too big, to put it mildly, it is almost a seizure of power, and it is a very important right!

If the Basketball Association can agree smoothly, then there will be a problem!

……

When the basketball association was anxious and had a headache about how to respond to questions about Wang Xiao in the face of questions from the media, Wang Xiao had already boarded a plane to the United States.

Pre-season will start in early October, and around mid-September, he will need to return to the team to prepare for the start of the new season!

Unlike last season, this season's Wizards are the championship team, and when they win the O'Brien Cup, the whole team has a heavy burden on their backs, and that is to defend the title!

For any team that wins the title, not being able to defend the title in the new season is a failure.

Of course, like the 11-year-old Mavericks, the 08-year-old Celtics are different, both teams are full of veterans, and the only goal is to win the championship, and when they win the championship, the fighting spirit of the veterans will drop by a level, after all, having a championship in hand and not having a championship are two completely different mentalities.

The Wizards are not an older team, and they are even the youngest in the league.

What Wang Xiao needs to worry about is not their motivation, because players, including Curry George and others, have not received a big contract, and in order to get a big contract after the rookie contract ends, they will go all out in every game and every training game.

What really needs to be worried about is the other aspects.

It is not easy to win the O'Brien Cup, and many players have pursued it for a lifetime, such as Malone, Barkley, Iverson and other superstars.

Winning the championship at such a young age inevitably leads to arrogance, too relaxed or contemptuous of their opponents in the game.

Arrogance is the first of the seven deadly sins.

Arrogance is inevitable for all people in the world, as long as you are a human being, living in this world, it is inevitable that you will have such emotions, and Wang Xiao is the same.

In front of the media, he publicly claimed that he could lead the Chinese men's basketball team to win the World Cup and the Olympic Games, this arrogant remark is arrogant, even if it includes Wang Xiao's strategy to test the pressure of the Basketball Association, it cannot be denied.

The arrogance of deeds is more lethal than the arrogance of words, because it would cause the Wizards to lose games they shouldn't have lost and make it difficult for them to defend their title.

Don't think this is an exaggeration.

In the past 50 years of the NBA, only 10 consecutive championships have been achieved, including the Bulls who have won two consecutive championships, the Lakers who have won three consecutive championships, and only the Lakers in 1988, the Pistons in 1990, the Rockets in 1995, the Lakers in 2010, the Heat in 2013 and the Warriors in 2018 have achieved two consecutive championships.

50 years, representing 50 championship trophies, can only be lifted by 10 teams in different time periods.

What causes this? Strength, injuries, luck and other aspects may have a certain impact, but arrogance is definitely the most influential of them.

Wang Xiao understands this very well, and he also knows very well what serious consequences will be if such an atmosphere is allowed to spread in the team's locker room.

So when he returned to the team, the first problem to solve was how to stifle the arrogant attitude that the players may not have budded in the cradle!
