Regarding the selection of assistant coaches, Wang Xiao already had an idea in his heart.

has been in the NBA for five years, although he is a Chinese, how can Wang Xiao not have a circle at all?

In his memory, there are many colleagues who are still unemployed.

Their abilities may not be valued in the NBA, but being an assistant coach in the NCAA is more than enough in terms of ability.

So after getting Pat's affirmative reply, Wang Xiao immediately dialed someone's phone.

Jack, which is the most common name in the United States, is almost equal to Zhang Wei in Huaxia.

This is also a friend of Wang Xiao's when he was a student.

He is also a basketball enthusiast, similar to Wang Xiao, although he loves basketball, he has no talent in this area.

So inspired by Wang Xiao, he also followed Wang Xiao to learn relevant knowledge about coaching and became an inspirational basketball coach.

It's a pity that compared to Wang Xiao, his luck is worse.

As a black man, Jack's family conditions are much more difficult than Wang Xiao's.

He doesn't just live for himself, he also has a seriously ill mother and several younger siblings to support at home.

In order to make a living, Jack had to give up his dream and find a manual job to support his family.

Wang Xiao, who has been in the NBA for more than five years, has gradually gained a foothold, and has tried to provide some help to Jack, but Wang Xiao was not a very energetic person at that time, so every time Jack can only return disappointed.

But this time was different.

In the Harvard varsity team, Wang Xiao has a lot of power, Pat actually doesn't know a lot about basketball, he agrees with the achievements made by Wang Xiao during this time, so he will also give a certain trust to the people selected by Wang Xiao.

Although the salary of the assistant coach of the campus basketball team is not high, it is much higher than doing manual work, and the food and housing are in school, the consumption is also low, and more importantly, Wang Xiao promised that in the next few years, if he returns to the NBA, he will recommend to Pat to let Jack replace him as the head coach of Harvard University.

This is still very tempting for Jack.

So after receiving Wang Xiao's call, Jack thought about it carefully, and finally discussed it with his family, and finally decided to agree.

Just two days later, Jack came to Harvard to report and was immediately on the job.

For this black friend, to be honest, Wang Xiao is relatively unfamiliar, after all, it is another memory of himself, although Wang Xiao has inherited this memory, but he still feels a little weird.

However, this Jack seems to have a very good relationship with Wang Xiao, and gave Wang Xiao a warm hug as soon as they met.

"Hey, brother, you're really a, I'm about to die of surprise when I see your news this time!" Jack said repeatedly: "I didn't expect you to become the head coach of the Trail Blazers, and also denied Oden's choice of Durant, I thought your coaching career was over, I called you for a long time at that time, but your phone has been turned off......"

After some pleasantries, Wang Xiao briefly introduced the current situation of the Harvard varsity team to Jack, and told him that he wanted to make some achievements in this year's NCAA tournament.

Jack was obviously somewhat stunned by Wang Xiao's ambition.

Wang Xiao ...... Can you really imagine that a team that was at the bottom of the Ivy League last year could win the NCAA Championship this year? It's probably even harder than winning a championship in the NBA! ”

Shaking his head, Jack continued, "I know you must have put a lot of effort into making Harvard varsity what it is today, but it's not just these problems......"

"Of course I do, that's why I'm inviting you." Wang Xiao smiled and said, "Don't you even dare to give it a try?" ”

"Hmph, what's not to dare?" Wang Xiao's not very clever agitation method is very effective, and Jack is unconvinced. "What do you need me to help you do?"

……

Due to the limitations of the system's functions, Wang Xiao can't stay away from the training ground, otherwise the effect of the training bonus will disappear.

So Jack is mainly responsible for Wang Xiao's headache of collecting intelligence.

He needs to go to many teams to observe the game, record the game video and analyze the style characteristics of the players.

This is a lot of work, taking the NCAA tournament as an example, from the lottery to the start of the game, it is a week or two, and in this period of two weeks, he needs to thoroughly analyze the opponent, from the style of the whole team to the characteristics of each player, which is definitely not a simple job.

Wang Xiao believes that Jack will definitely be up to the job.

After assigning this job to Jack, Wang Xiao was able to focus on his daily training.

Two months is really not a long time at all, and he must seize these two months and try to rely on the experience he has gained in the NBA and the systematic training bonus function to improve the level of the players.

In the midst of intense training, time flies by like flowing water.

In the blink of an eye, Harvard ushered in the last game of the Ivy League.

In Harvard's home arena, all the stands were almost packed with students, and all eyes were on the 10 players on the field.

To be honest, Wang Xiao also saw so many audiences from Harvard's home stadium, and even many teachers and some adults who have graduated from Harvard also came to the scene.

Because this moment means so much to them.

Prior to this game, Harvard had been near-invincible in sweeping all teams in the Ivy League.

27 wins and 0 losses!

Such a result is unprecedented even in the entire Ivy League of eight teams combined!

And if Harvard wins today's game, they will lift the league trophy with a total of 28 wins and 0 losses!

Harvard University, which has never won any trophy in history, broke the shackles with such miraculous results, and such a feat naturally attracted the attention of many people, and many people hoped to witness the arrival of this moment with their own eyes.

It's just that......

Perhaps because of the huge pressure, the Harvard players on the court did not play particularly well, because of emotion, lack of concentration, frequent mistakes on the court, after the first half, the score of the two sides was 32:37, Harvard fell behind by 5 points.

This has never been the case this season.

Wang Xiao understands that after all, there are only five children on the court, and it is difficult for them to have a strong mentality like NBA professional players, and even many NBA professional players are lacking in this aspect, and many players who perform well in the regular season tend to play badly when they reach the playoffs.

He also knows that this hurdle must be crossed by the players themselves, they can guide it, but they must not apply pressure, which will often become the last straw that breaks the camel's back.

Wang Xiao is confident that they will definitely be able to get back into shape.

Sure enough, after the start of the second half, it was Jeremy Lin who broke out first!
