In addition to Curry Harden's two high-pick rookies, Beverley, Danny. Young players such as Green, Jordan Jr., McGee, and Nick Young all got a lot of playing time in Summer League.

But the performances of these men did not attract the attention of Walter, the head assistant coach.

It's not that these guys don't perform well, but that Curry and Harden, two players, are far superior to the rest of the rookies in terms of draft picks and current abilities and potential, and as the Wizards' future rising hopes, Walt's main focus is on Curry Harden.

Beverley and the rest of the group did well in Summer League, but they didn't do it to the point of being impressive, and it's normal that they didn't get the attention they deserved.

After the end of the summer league, it will be a long offseason.

From August to the end of September, the league is in the offseason, and players can use the nearly two months to relax and take a break or improve their skills.

Curry was going home for the family vacation.

But just before he was about to leave, he received a phone call, one from the team's head coach Wang Xiao.

"Stephen, what's your holiday schedule?"

"I'm going to go home and see my parents, coach ......," Curry replied, wondering why the head coach would call him out of the blue.

"If you don't have anything important, would you like to think about staying with the team to train?" Wang Xiao said on the other side of the phone: "I will give you some advice on training. ”

Wang Xiao's words made Curry's heart pound.

"Okay coach, when is it going to start?"

To be honest, Curry wasn't particularly happy with his performance in summer league.

He felt that compared to the NBA players, he still had a lot of shortcomings.

He can't wait to go home as soon as he has a holiday, on the one hand, he wants to see his family, on the other hand, he also wants to ask his father for advice, although the old Curry is not a superstar, but he has played in the NBA for 16 years, has rich experience and unique vision, and many times Curry will ask his father if he doesn't understand anything.

Now, the head coach of the team, Wang Xiao, actually called him in person to invite him, how could he refuse?

For Wang Xiao, the head coach, Curry has always been curious.

A year ago, he was very impressed by the strength of Jeremy Lin in the NCAA championship, and it was the first time he had seen an Asian player so strong.

And Jeremy Lin was trained by Wang Xiao.

As soon as he thought that Wang Xiao was going to teach him with his own hands, Curry felt very much looking forward to it.

……

In the Wizards' training gym, Curry met Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao was wearing a sportswear with a spoon on his chest, looking like a trainer.

In fact, before Wang Xiao crossed, the other thing he did the most was the work of an assistant coach, so Wang Xiao can be said to be familiar with this line of work.

At the same time, Curry also found that in addition to Curry, there were several players in the training hall.

Harden, Danny. Green, Beverley, the four rookies selected by Wang Xiao this year are actually all there.

"This ......"

Curry was a little surprised, but Wang Xiao, who saw Curry, was already beckoning.

"Since they're all here, let me say a few words first."

Gathering the four together, Wang Xiao looked at the four young players.

"All four of you, all of you are players that I personally selected in the draft, and I think you all have a lot of potential, and you can definitely adapt to the NBA and play as much as you deserve, but at the moment, you don't have that ability."

"The current Wizards are already in the semi-rebuilding stage, more than half of the players in the team are rookies, and next season I am ready to reuse rookie players to give you a lot of playing time."

As soon as Wang Xiao's words came out, Beverly and Green's eyes were full.

To be honest, during this time, Curry and Harden have not had much pressure, but the pressure on these two has been quite high.

The reason is simple, Arenas has been traded, and the important positions of Curry and Harden on the team's guard line are almost certain, but Beverley's position conflicts with Curry, and Green plays small forward, and the Wizards' starting small forward is All-Star Caron. Butler, and the best sixth man just traded, Mike Butler. Miller, no matter how you look at Green, there are very few opportunities to get.

Now that there is a guaranteed playing time that the manager himself admits, how can the two of them not be surprised.

"But how many opportunities you get next season, how much playing time you have, will depend on how hard you work and improve in training during that time."

Wang Xiao said, looked at the four of them one by one, and said very seriously.

……

Using the holiday to open a small stove for the players was Wang Xiao's temporary idea, but at the same time, it was also carefully considered.

At present, Wang Xiao's system has accumulated nearly 3,000 victory points, and in the summer league, the team won 4 games, and Wang Xiao actually increased his victory value by 400 points.

This is something Wang Xiao didn't expect.

The Las Vegas summer league was officially accepted by the NBA in 07 and was also included in the category of NBA official events, as the head coach of the Wizards, although he did not personally go to Las Vegas with the team, the team's victory was still counted on Wang Xiao's head.

In this way, Wang Xiao also realized that he had more ways to obtain victory points than he imagined.

Summer league is one thing, and in addition to that, there are preseasons.

In the 09-10 season, the NBA officially scheduled seven preseason games for each team, starting in early October and ending before the official start of the regular season on October 27.

That's why he decided to use the training system to help the players improve during the holidays.

Due to the limited energy of one person, the maximum number that Wang Xiao can take care of is 4 players, so he only called the 4 rookie players who were selected.

After the bonus function of the training module began, Wang Xiao began to guide Curry and others to train.

However, while practicing, Curry and the others felt that something was wrong.

This training ...... Why is it all three-point training?

All morning was spent in three-point shooting practice.

The top arc tried to step three points, received the ball in the bottom corner for three points, and shot three points after blocking and dismantling......

In addition to all kinds of three-point practice, Wang Xiao has not practiced other aspects at all.

Even Curry, who uses the three-point shot as his main offensive tool, feels very strange.

"Coach, why do we keep practicing three-point shooting?"

Finally, Curry couldn't help but ask Wang Xiao like this.

And Wang Xiao's answer also stunned Curry and the other three who secretly pricked up their ears.

"Because the team's regular tactic for next season is three-point shooting."
