Wang Xiao, this name is not unfamiliar in the NBA, because anyone who mentions the 07 champion Kevin. Durant, that's the name that people remember.

And when people mention the 07 list, Greg who should have been the champion. Auden will also think of Wang Xiao's name.

Oden was injured again, and on March 12, in the game between the Thunder and the Spurs, Oden accidentally crooked his foot while grabbing a rebound and was injured again.

In the 08-09 season, Oden played more than 60 games intermittently, averaging 21 minutes per game, and was able to score 8.9 points, 7 rebounds and 1 block.

Purely from the perspective of playing time, Oden's efficiency is not bad, but such a performance is far from the league's expectations of Oden, especially when Oden and Durant are put together.

Durant, signed by the Trail Blazers with the top pick, has become the team's scoring champion this season, averaging 26 points per game, ranking fourth on the scoring list, second only to scoring champion Wade's 30.2 points, James' 28.4 points and Kobe's 26.8 points, the Trail Blazers can rank second in the West after the season, and Durant has a vital role!

In just two years, Wang Xiao's original sentence "time will prove who is right" seems to have come to fruition.

Regardless of whether Oden can return from injury in the future, Durant has proved with his outstanding performance that he is definitely worthy of the top pick.

If Durant's performance has proved that Wang Xiao is not a madman, but a person with a unique vision, then Harvard's near-miraculous performance in the past two seasons proves that Wang Xiao's coaching ability is also quite good.

Especially in the second season, Harvard remained undefeated throughout the season, outscoring opponents by more than 20 points per game, even in the NCAA Championship, and the almost suffocating defense is still fresh in people's minds.

Many professional sports reporters and scouts who have watched Harvard's games have bluntly said that the Harvard team's defense has exceeded the level that the NCAA should have, and the team's defensive ability is commendable even if it is placed in the NBA.

Of course, this is just about the defensive aspect, which does not mean that Harvard has NBA-level standards, after all, whether a team is strong or not has to be considered from many aspects, and the rules of the NBA and NCAA are very different.

Jeremy Lin, Plain and Dunn's defensive ability is certainly the main reason why Harvard is so strong, but Wang Xiao's tactical design and daily training also definitely play an important role.

When the Wizards officially announced that Wang Xiao had joined the Wizards, many people discovered this problem.

Wang Xiao is undoubtedly the kind of coach who focuses on defensive tactics, but what about the Wizards? This is definitely not a team with a reputation for defense.

Arenas is definitely the top in the league in scoring, but defensively ...... The 1.91-meter-tall Arenas' defensive ability is really flattering.

It's not so much that Arenas can't defend, it's that he doesn't bother to defend at all, probably thinking that the dirty work of defending shouldn't be done by an All-Star superstar like him.

Not only Arenas, but the other two of the Wizards' Big Three, Jamison and Butler are also typical players who focus on offense and light on defense.

In the entire Washington Wizards, when it comes to defensive ability, there is only Brandon at the center position. Haywood can be regarded as a defensive stalwart, but this season Heywood was reimbursed due to injury, and it is difficult to say how he will perform after returning next season.

Without doubt, is it really appropriate to let Wang Xiao coach such a Wizards team?

Can Wang Xiao bring his tough defense from his Harvard years to the Wizards?

......

When the playoffs were in full swing, Wang Xiao had already completed all the formalities at Harvard, and after officially handing over the Harvard varsity team to Jack, Wang Xiao said goodbye to Jeremy Lin and others one by one, and prepared to go to the Washington Wizards to take up a post.

"Coach ......" looked at Wang Xiao, and Jeremy Lin's eyes were full of reluctance.

Two years have passed in a flash, and he still can't forget the time when he first met Wang Xiao two years ago.

The coach who remembered only seeing him alone was determined that he would be an NBA Hall of Fame-caliber player.

In the past two years, the coach has patiently taught himself everything about basketball to help him improve better and faster.

Now, Jeremy Lin has become an NCAA star player, being named to the NCAA All-NBA Team for two consecutive years, and even won the title of John Brown this year. Wooden Award, scouts from each team are recognized as super rookies who are at least in the top five picks when they enter the draft.

These honors were all things that Jeremy Lin couldn't even think of before, and all of them were given to him by the coach.

When he learned that Wang Xiao had signed with the Wizards and was about to leave Harvard, Jeremy Lin called Wang Xiao and said that if needed, he could participate in the NBA draft this year and go to the Wizards to help Wang Xiao.

But Wang Xiao refused, knowing that Jeremy Lin and his family wanted him to get a degree from Harvard University, and that he was now in his third year and that he would be able to fulfill that dream next year.

There is no need to let Jeremy Lin enter the league in advance for himself, not to mention that the current Jeremy Lin is not another time and space that no one cares about, in two years, Jeremy Lin has tapped the potential of the growth template card to a considerable extent, Wang Xiao can be sure that the current Jeremy Lin is definitely stronger than Kidd in the rookie period or even in the sophomore year.

Such Jeremy Lin participates in the draft, and there is a high probability of winning the throne of champions, not that Wang Xiao can ask for it if he wants it.

The other two cores of the team, Dunn, must study for another year in college because of his lack of age before he can participate in the draft, while Plain has already confirmed that he will participate in this year's NBA draft.

Wang Xiao patted Plaine on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Come on, work hard, you will definitely be selected in the first round." ”

Plain nodded vigorously, compared with Jeremy Lin, his relationship with Wang Xiao doesn't seem to be so close, but Plain's respect for Wang Xiao is no worse than that of Jeremy Lin, and he was also picked up by Wang Xiao.

"Okay, that's it, don't be so sad, because you're going to be in the NBA soon, I'll wait for you somewhere first." Wang Xiao looked at the people on the team, laughed and said, "We may be opponents at that time!" Don't cry if you lose to me, Jack, so are you, I'm waiting for you in the NBA! ”

Jack, the new head coach of the Harvard team, looked at Wang Xiao with a look of war in his eyes.

"Of course, I'll go, and this time I'm not going to follow you, but to beat you as the head coach of the same team!"

The two young men, who both had coaching dreams, looked at each other and laughed.

After saying goodbye to the players, Wang Xiao went to Washington, D.C., where Wang Xiao was waiting for him in a completely different environment from the Harvard varsity team - the battlefield of the NBA!
