The NCAA league starts around November, similar to the NBA regular season, and after nearly four months of competition, after deciding the top spot in the major leagues, there will be a wild card game to finally determine 64 teams to participate in the NCAA tournament in March, which is also known as "March Madness".

Wang Xiao's agreement with Harvard Athletic Association President Pat is that this season will bring the team into "March Madness", which means that the team will finish first in the Ivy League or qualify for the wild card game.

Obviously, the former is much less difficult than the latter, after all, in the Ivy League, they only have to face seven other schools with equally bad basketball.

In the wild card game, there are many teams with super strength, who have not been able to compete for the championship in their respective leagues, and can only participate in the tournament through the wild card game.

As a simple example, every year in the Ivy League, there are teams that enter the round of 64 of the tournament by winning the league championship, but there are very few of them who can reach the round of 32, almost never, and every year they are directly eliminated by their opponents in the first round.

The teams that can win the Round of 64 through a wild card game have many cases where they have gone all the way to the NCAA Tournament championship.

The difference between the two is obvious, Wang Xiao wants to fulfill his promise, so he naturally chooses easy difficulty and aims for the Ivy League championship.

That being said, last season, Harvard could only finish seventh out of eight teams in the Ivy League, which is the second-to-last.

The seemingly easy difficulty of the choice also has to complete the fantastic counterattack from seventh to first.

If you want to do this, you can't just hold Jeremy Lin's thighs and wait for his growth template card talent to be cashed in, and he still needs to do more preparations, such as strengthening the overall strength of the team.

So, from the second day after taking over the team, Wang Xiao formulated a strict training plan for the whole team, and did not hesitate to consume victory points to strengthen the training effect.

Many of the training plans developed by Wang Xiao refer to the NBA's training plans, but some of them have been cut down as appropriate in terms of intensity.

But even so, the high-intensity training still made the players miserable.

"OMG! Is this coach the devil? I bet he's trying to toss us to death! ”

Meier rubbed his aching arm, feeling like he was running out of strength to lift it.

"When is this the end of a day? If we continue like this, we will be exhausted to death before the season starts! ”

"I'm going to take a day off tomorrow, and I feel like I'm going to die of exhaustion!"

There was a wail in the locker room, and Jeremy Lin sat in front of the locker and wiped the sweat from his body, but he did not participate in the discussion.

A few days ago, Wang Xiao customized a set of training plans for him, which was slightly different from that of other players, and it was also larger in terms of training volume.

He originally thought that he would definitely not be able to persist in this kind of training, but to his surprise, although he was tired like a dog every day, when he continued to train secondly, he could obviously feel that the pressure was getting smaller and smaller, and even more and more relaxed.

This feeling gives him a lot of confidence and makes him more motivated in his daily training.

"The coach really deserves to be an assistant coach in the NBA for five years, and the training plan is so perfect."

Jeremy Lin, who was sighing like this in his heart, didn't know that the reason why he could achieve this level was not because Wang Xiao's training plan was well formulated, but because the SS-level growth template card played a role.

Speaking of Jason. Kidd, the first thing that comes to mind is his accurate passing like a guided missile and the big picture of the court, but then what comes to mind is his super defensive ability as a point guard.

Jason. Kidd was named to the All-Defensive Team a total of nine times in his career, including five first-team selections and four second-team selections.

In addition to his excellent defensive awareness, it is more about his excellent physical fitness.

Kidd is not a spring man, many people have the impression that he is even a floor flow player, but his strength is not inferior to any defender or even a striker.

He has a nickname called the triple-double king, in addition to scoring and assists, the ability to grab rebounds is also excellent, and he can grab rebounds with a group of centers, which alone can see how strong his strength is.

Jason was used. Kidd's growth template card, Jeremy Lin's potential in terms of strength has been raised to the same level as Kidd, not only strength, speed, toughness and coordination and other potentials have been improved in different ways, but it is natural to feel obvious progress in training, not to mention that Wang Xiao used a large number of victory points to strengthen the training effect in order to make Jeremy Lin's training effect the best.

It would be strange if there was not much progress in this situation.

Of course, what Kidd is really great is his coach-like overall view on the court, which is what Wang Xiao wants Jeremy Lin to understand the most, but for the time being, he hasn't figured out how to hand Jeremy Lin these things, and for now, the most important thing is to get the team on the right track first.

He could see that since the start of the training program, many people in the team have been dissatisfied with him, and they have gradually begun to be lazy in their daily training.

Wang Xiao has been in charge of the team for too short a time and has insufficient control over the team, which is what he has to deal with first.

Finally, two days later, during the daily training, the problem arose.

"Meyer, the training isn't over yet, why did you stop?"

Looking at Meyer, who stopped his movements on the court, Wang Xiao asked with a frown.

"Coach, there's something I'd like to talk to you about."

Meier said as several players gathered around him.

"I'll talk about it after training."

Wang Xiao said lightly.

"Coach, that's what I want to say about training."

In the face of Wang Xiao, Meier did not flinch, and even straightened his chest. "We think this kind of training is too intense, and it should be reduced appropriately."

'There is nothing wrong with the intensity of the team's training, so I'll be back in training right away.' Wang Xiao clasped his hands and looked at Meier and the several players gathered behind him.

"No, coach, this kind of training intensity is simply not something that we students can afford, this is not the NBA, and we are not professional players." Meyer had already figured out the wording. "If we get injured in high-intensity training, we're in trouble."

When Wang Xiao heard this, his eyebrows couldn't help but rise.

Just from the tone of his voice, he could hear the threat of the other party.
