Chapter 18: The Game Begins

Can Wang Xiao win?

At least in his own opinion, the answer is yes.

A person who has the memory of 5 years of assistant coach in the NBA and is still open, can still lose in the face of a group of players who can't play at all in the Ivy League, then he really doesn't have to aim to return to the NBA and get revenge like Pat Riley.

There is no doubt that the Meyer guys are stronger than those basketball lovers in the basketball club, but from Wang Xiao's professional point of view, this strength is not particularly obvious, mainly in terms of personal skills.

And these individual skills can be completely smoothed out with professional basketball knowledge and targeted tactical arrangements.

What's more, Wang Xiao still has a trump card that has not been released - Jeremy Lin.

It didn't take long to bind Kidd's growth template card, but Jeremy Lin's strength had already begun to grow rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye under Wang Xiao's professional training.

This kind of growth may not be obvious in the eyes of players like Meier, but it is real in Wang Xiao's eyes.

Originally, Jeremy Lin's strength was not inferior to that of Meyer, the main core of Harvard, and in Wang Xiao's memory, it seems that Jeremy Lin ushered in an explosion in his sophomore year, successfully served as the main force of Harvard, and brought Harvard's record better and better year by year.

In other words, even without Wang Xiao's growth card and star template card, Jeremy Lin will beat Meier with strength this year and replace the opponent's main point guard, let alone now?

Wang Xiao is very sure that if Jeremy Lin and Mayer are allowed to have a one-on-one heads-up, Jeremy Lin can easily abuse each other.

Playing against these guys, you only need to use Jeremy Lin as the core, and then design a set of joint defense tactics, and it will not be difficult to win at all.

After leaving Pat's office, Wang Xiao immediately contacted Jeremy Lin.

The latter was surprised to hear that the coach had made such a bet with Meyer and others, but he had a very good impression of the new head coach, Wang Xiao attached great importance to himself, and often gave his own advice and guidance in daily training, which was completely different from the coaches he had met in the past.

He hopes that Wang Xiao can stay, and if he helps Wang Xiao win this gamble, Meyer will be kicked out of the team, and he will become the team's starting point guard as a matter of course!

Therefore, Jeremy Lin immediately expressed his willingness to play for Wang Xiao, and told Wang Xiao that there are two players in the team who have a good relationship with him, and their strength is not much worse than that of Meier's main forces, and he will help Wang Xiao persuade them to play for Wang Xiao.

This is an unexpected joy, Wang Xiao has already made up his mind to go to the basketball club to find a few players to temporarily replace him, and now there are two more members of the school team to fill in the strength, and the probability of victory has become greater.

……

A day later, in the daily training hall of the school team, Wang Xiao looked at the six people in front of him, with a slight smile on his face.

Jeremy Lin and his two fellow varsity teammates, plus three players selected from the basketball club, this is the team that Wang Xiao uses to play against Meyer and others...... And it is likely that he will be the main player of the Harvard varsity team at the beginning of the new season in the Ivy League.

After winning against Meyer, Wang Xiao will kick all of them out of his team, so that the team will also be replenished with fresh blood, and these obedient players will become the main force in his team.

Therefore, Wang Xiao did not be stingy in dealing with these people, and his training skills were opened all year round to enhance the effect of practice for them.

These players are also very hard-working, because they also know that as long as they can beat the original team players such as Meier, then they will replace them as the team's new main players.

Which of these kids who join the varsity team or basketball club doesn't have a fanatical love for basketball? They all dream of showing themselves on a bigger stage.

The time was only a few days, and Wang Xiao did not give them any professional and scientific training, but designed several sets of defensive tactics and routines according to the technical characteristics of Meier and others, so that they could learn and become familiar with them...... Except for Jeremy Lin.

For Jeremy Lin, Wang Xiao has great expectations.

After all, Wang Xiao's only SS-level growth template card was used by Jeremy Lin, and he really hoped that Jeremy Lin could grow into a super point guard of Kidd's level, or even surpass the other party.

Since he came to the team, Jeremy Lin's training program has been different from other players, and Wang Xiao has designed more than a dozen training programs for Jeremy Lin, covering all aspects including offensive end, defensive end, tactical courses and so on.

He wasn't worried that Jeremy Lin would be greedy and chew too much, because he had already forensic with the system, and after using the growth template card, Jeremy Lin's implicit talent was almost similar to Kidd's, as long as he was willing to practice and study hard, he could completely absorb what Wang Xiao taught him, plus the bonus of the training module, Jeremy Lin was getting stronger every day at a speed visible to the naked eye.

……

A few days passed in a flash, and soon it was the weekend, that is, the day when Wang Xiao made an appointment with Meier and the others.

As it was a game dealing with team conflicts, there was no spectator for the game, and the only member who was not part of the team was Pat, the president of the sports association, who was a guest referee.

"The game is 20 minutes, there is no timeout between the two sides, you can choose to replace the player when the ball is dead, and you are not allowed to maliciously hurt others, understand?"

Looking at the players on both sides, Pat said.

"No problem."

Meyer said with a smile.

When he saw the few people sent by Wang Xiao's side, he let go of his original suspense.

He thought that Wang Xiao would choose someone, but it turned out that it was just these crooked melons and cracked dates.

Bench to the bench on two teams, three basketball clubs, and his Asian compatriot Jeremy Lin.

These six people are just what Jeremy Lin can make him pay attention to, and the rest are not their opponents at all.

"Guys, get the game over early, I've had enough of this crazy coach."

Now that he has torn his face, Meyer stopped pretending, and looked at Jeremy Lin and the others with a big grin. "Hey, how many points are you going to lose?"

"Hmph, it's not certain who loses and who wins!"

Looking at the players on both sides, Pat's brows furrowed slightly.

But in terms of body shape, whether it is height, weight or muscle lines, it is obvious that Mayer's side is more dominant.

This can be seen from the jumping ball, Meier's side jumped the ball with a height of 2.11 meters, and the tallest player on Wang Xiao's side was only 2.06 meters, and the height difference made the two jump balls without the slightest suspense.

As a point guard, Meyer got the basketball as a matter of course.

But immediately after, Jeremy Lin stood in front of him.

"Humph!"

Snorted coldly, Meier didn't dare to take Jeremy Lin lightly, this sophomore rookie gave him a lot of pressure last season, and now this pressure is even greater, and he even has a premonition that Jeremy Lin will take away the starting point guard at any time.

Meier looked up and wanted to pass the ball out and then run for an opportunity.

But when he raised his head to look at his teammates, he couldn't help but pause.

In his sight...... There's no room to pass the ball!
